Abstract
There are provided with a motor rotor (22) fixed to a turbine shaft (12) and rotating together with the turbine shaft, a motor stator (24) surrounding the motor rotor and fixed within a bearing housing (16), an inverted (26) converting a dc power into an ac power, and an inverter controller (28) controlling a frequency and a voltage of the ac power by the inverter. The inverter and the inverter controller are accommodated in a driver container (29), and are coupled to a compressor housing (20) by an insulating coupling member (30).
Claims2
A motor-driven supercharger comprising:
- a turbine shaft having a turbine impeller in one end;
- a compressor impeller coupled to the other end of the turbine shaft;
- a bearing housing rotatably supporting the turbine shaft;
- a turbine housing surrounding the turbine impeller and coupled to the bearing housing;
- a compressor housing surrounding the compressor impeller and coupled to the bearing housing;
- a motor rotor fixed to the turbine shaft and rotating together with the turbine shaft;
- a motor stator surrounding the motor rotor and fixed within the bearing housing;
- an inverter converting a dc power into an ac power so as to input to the motor stator;
- an inverter controller controlling a frequency and a voltage of the ac power by the inverter on the basis of an external command;
- a driver container accommodating the inverter and the inverter controller;
- and
- an insulating coupling member coupling the driver container to the compressor housing,
- wherein the driver container is formed in a donut shape or a U shape, and
- wherein the insulating coupling member has an air-cooled or water-cooled insulating layer insulating heat in such a manner as to prevent a high temperature of the air discharged from the compressor from being transferred to the driver container.
