Abstract
An electric compressor 1 is configured such that a board 51 to which a switching element 5 is connected is assembled to a housing 11, and includes a fixing plate 57 disposed between the switching element 5 and the board 51 and having spring properties. The fixing plate 57 is held by the switching element 5, and presses the switching element 5 against the housing 11 in a state of the board 51 being assembled to the housing 11. The fixing plate 57 has a spring portion for pressing the switching element 5 against the housing 11 and a positioning portion engaged with a run-through hole of the switching element 5.
Claims7
An electric compressor in which a board to which a switching element is connected is assembled to a housing, comprising:
- a fixing plate disposed between the switching element and the board and entirely or at least partially having a spring property,
- wherein the fixing plate is held by the switching element, and presses the switching element against the housing in a state of the board being assembled to the housing.
A method for producing an electric compressor in which a board to which a switching element is connected is assembled to a housing, the method comprising:
- preparing a fixing plate having a spring portion for biasing the switching element toward the housing, a positioning portion engaged with the switching element, a terminal passing portion through which a terminal of the switching element passes, and a fixing plate fastening portion;
- disposing the fixing plate between the switching element and the board;
- and
- integrally assembling the switching element, the fixing plate, and the board by connecting the terminal of the switching element, which has passed through the terminal passing portion of the fixing plate, to the board in a state of the positioning portion of the fixing plate being engaged with a run-through hole of the switching element and the fixing plate fastening portion of the fixing plate being coincident with a board fastening portion of the board.
