A MOTOR-DRIVEN COMPRESSOR WITH REDUCED LATERAL DIMENSIONS

摘要

A motor-driven compressor (1) comprises a drive shaft (13) driven by an electric actuator (8) and acting on a crank mechanism (15) having a crank (15A) with which a connecting rod (16) is associated eccentrically, the connecting rod (16) supporting a piston (17) movable in a corresponding cylinder (20). The cylinder (20) has a longitudinal axis (W) inclined to the axis (X) of the drive shaft (13) at an angle other than 90 DEG so that the connecting rod (16) supporting the piston (17) has a longitudinal axis (K) which intersects the plane in which the crank (15A) lies.
