A pipe structure of an electric compressor, comprising:
- an electric compressor disposed in an engine compartment of a vehicle and configured to be driven by a battery power source to compress a refrigerant;
- a harness connecting portion disposed on an upper surface of the electric compressor and electrically connecting a harness to the electric compressor;
- and
- a pipe connecting portion disposed forward of the harness connecting portion and connecting an air conditioner pipe to the electric compressor,
- wherein at least a part of the air conditioner pipe is disposed above the electric compressor;
- wherein the at least a part of the air condition pipe is disposed forward of the harness connection portion and configured to protect the harness connection portion in the event of a collision.
A piping method for an electric compressor, comprising:
- protecting a harness connecting portion in the event of a collision from parts located in front of the electric compressor by disposing an air conditioner pipe in front of the harness connecting portion;
- wherein the harness connection portion is disposed on an upper surface of the electric compressor.
A pipe structure of an electric compressor, comprising:
- an electric refrigerant compressing means;
- an electrically connecting means for electrically connecting a harness to the electric refrigerant compressing means;
- wherein the electrically connecting means is disposed on an upper surface of the electric refrigerant compressing means;
- and
- a pipe connecting means disposed forward of the electrically connecting means for connecting an air conditioner pipe to the electric refrigerant compressing means,
- wherein at least a part of the air conditioner pipe is disposed above the electric compressing means;
- wherein the at least a part of the air condition pipe is disposed forward of the harness connection portion and configured to protect the harness connection portion in the event of a collision.
