Electric compressor

Abstract

A rotor and an electric compressor equipped with the rotor, the compressor including a housing, a compression unit disposed within the housing, a motor unit installed in the housing to drive the compression unit, an inverter unit coupled to one side of the housing to control the motor unit, wherein the motor unit includes a rotor coupled to a rotating shaft to rotate and generate magnetic flux and a stator positioned radially outward from the rotor, the rotor including a rotor core into which a permanent magnet is inserted and a balance weight module including a plurality of balance weight plates assembled together and attached to at least one of the front or rear side of the rotor core, the compressor makes it possible for the balance weight module to maintain the modular assembly state, thereby minimizing issues related to storage, assembly, and deformation.
