Electric compressor

Abstract

An electric compressor includes a cylindrical housing, a rotary shaft accommodated and rotatably supported in the housing, a compression portion compressing refrigerant gas by rotation of the rotary shaft, a stator accommodated in the housing and fixed to the housing, a rotor accommodated in the housing and fixed on the rotary shaft, and a plurality of guide members disposed between the inner peripheral surface of the housing and an outer peripheral surface of a stator core of the stator. A plurality of recesses is recessed in a radial direction of the rotary shaft on the outer peripheral surface of the stator core of the stator and spaced apart from each other in a peripheral direction of the rotary shaft. The guide members are fitted in the respective recesses with a part of the guide members projecting radially outward beyond the outer peripheral surface of the stator core.
