Electric compressor

An electric compressor comprising:

• a compression part configured to compress fluid;
• an electric motor configured to drive the compression part;
• an inverter configured to drive the electric motor;
• a housing that has an outer circumferential surface having a cylindrical shape, the housing accommodating the compression part, the electric motor, and the inverter;
• and
• a soundproof cover that is made from a sound absorbing material being elastically deformable, the soundproof cover covering the outer circumferential surface of the housing, wherein
• the soundproof cover has:
• a covering portion that covers the outer circumferential surface of the housing;
• and
• an overlapping portion that overlaps the covering portion in a radial direction of the housing, wherein
• the overlapping portion and the covering portion each have an insertion hole,
• the housing is provided with:
• a shaft that extends from the outer circumferential surface of the housing and that is inserted into the insertion hole;
• and a pressing part that presses a part of the overlapping portion around the insertion hole toward the housing to elastically deform the overlapping portion and the covering portion, and
• the soundproof cover is attached to the housing with the shaft and the pressing part.
