A compressor for compressing fluid is provided. The compressor includes a housing having a housing inlet for receiving fluid and a housing outlet for discharging the fluid. A compressing mechanism is adapted to compress the fluid toward the housing outlet. The compressing mechanism is disposed in the housing. A drive unit is operatively connected to the compressing mechanism for driving the compressing mechanism to compress fluid. A suction duct is disposed in the housing. The suction duct extends vertically downward from the housing inlet toward a sump defined in the housing. The suction duct is configured for attachment to a motor housing. The suction duct has a duct inlet fluidically connected with the housing inlet, and defines a passage fluidically connecting the duct inlet with an interior cavity of the housing. A suction gas filter disposed in the suction duct, and having a filter screen positioned downstream of the duct inlet.

A compressor according to the present invention comprises a hinge recess formed at a rolling piston and a hinge protrusion formed at a vane to be inserted into the hinge recess. A diameter of the hinge protrusion is greater than an interval between both ends of an opening of the hinge recess. A bearing surface, which comes in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the hinge recess, of an outer circumferential surface of the hinge protrusion, has a circumferential surface below 90° at both sides, respectively, based on a central line in a lengthwise direction of the vane. This structure may facilitate for cutting and grinding the bearing surface so as to reduce a machining cost, and also improve a machining degree and thus stabilize behaviors of the rolling piston and the vane so as to enhance compression efficiency.

Provided is a motor rotor which, without changing an integral fastening structure relying on swage pins, increases resistance to the excessive excitation force of the motor rotor and which can easily prevent decreases in fastening strength; a motor that uses the motor rotor, and an electric compressor are also provided. This motor rotor is provided with a cylindrical rotor core comprising multiple laminated magnetic steel sheets, end plates and balance weights laminated on both ends of the rotor core, and multiple headed swage pins which are inserted from one side and which integrally fasten the rotor core, the end plates and the balance weights. The material of the balance weight arranged to the head of the swage pin is harder than that of the swage pin, and the material of the balance weight arranged to the swage part of the swage pin is softer than that of the swage pin.

A fluid machine includes a housing, an electric motor, a drive circuit that includes a heat-generating component and drives the electric motor, a cover that defines an accommodation chamber, which accommodates the drive circuit, with the housing, and a fastener that fastens the cover to the housing. The cover is configured to press the heat-generating component or a heat transfer member, to which heat of the heat-generating component is transferred, against the housing in a fastening direction of the fastener when fastened by the fastener. The fluid machine further includes a seal that is held between the first opposing surface of the housing and the second opposing surface of the cover in the direction intersecting the fastening direction of the fastener.

A motor-driven fluid machine has three motor wires. The innermost one of the three motor wires in the radial direction of a rotary shaft on a specific section of an outer end portion of a coil end is defined as a first motor wire. The first motor wire has a first extension, which extends from an inner side toward an outer side in the radial direction of the rotary shaft at a position between the specific section and a downstream side in the extending direction of the motor wires, and a second extension, which is continuous from the first extension and extends from the outer side toward the inner side in the radial direction of the rotary shaft to be connected to a corresponding conductive member.

A motor-driven compressor is installed in a fuel cell vehicle to supply air to a fuel cell. The motor driven compressor includes a rotation shaft, an electric motor, a compression unit that compresses air, a housing that includes a motor chamber and a compression chamber, and a seal member that restricts a flow of a fluid between the motor chamber and the compression chamber. The housing includes an inlet and an outlet. The inlet draws, into the motor chamber, the air-conditioning refrigerant that has passed through the evaporator but has not reached the air-conditioning compressor as a low-temperature refrigerant. The outlet discharges the low-temperature refrigerant, which is drawn from the inlet into the motor chamber, out of the motor chamber.
