Electric compressor

An electric compressor comprising:

• a motor configured to generate power;
• a compression mechanism configured to receive the power from the motor and compress a refrigerant;
• and
• an inverter configured to control the motor, wherein a housing receiving the motor and the inverter further comprises a partition wall that divides a motor receiving space receiving the motor and an inverter receiving space receiving the inverter, and a suction port guiding the refrigerant to the motor receiving space, and wherein the partition wall further comprises a rib that protrudes from a surface facing the motor receiving space.

An electric compressor comprising:

• a motor configured to generate power;
• a compression mechanism configured to receive the power from the motor and compress a refrigerant;
• and
• an inverter configured to control the motor, wherein a housing receiving the motor and the inverter further comprises a partition wall that divides a motor receiving space receiving the motor and an inverter receiving space receiving the inverter, a suction port that causes a low-temperature refrigerant to flow into the motor receiving space in a circumferential direction of the motor receiving space, an annular wall that supports an outer peripheral surface of the motor, and an internal flow path that is formed concavely on an inner peripheral surface of the annular wall, is spaced apart from the outer peripheral surface of the motor, and extends toward the compression mechanism, wherein there is a plurality of internal flow paths, wherein the plurality of internal flow paths is arranged in the circumferential direction of the motor receiving space, and includes an upstream internal flow path that is located adjacent to an outlet of the suction port and a downstream internal flow path that is located far away from the outlet of the suction port based on the circumferential direction of the motor receiving space in an extension direction of the suction port, and wherein a flow cross-sectional area of the downstream internal flow path is larger than a flow cross-sectional area of the upstream internal flow path.
