Abstract
A hybrid compressor achieving simplification in the structure and capable of driving the compression unit with ease is provided. An electromagnetic clutch unit ( ) is provided at a rotating shaft ( ) projecting out on one side of a compression unit ( ) and an electric motor unit ( ) is provided at the rotating shaft ( ) projecting out on the other side of the compression unit ( ), so that an electromagnetic clutch unit ( ) in the prior art can be utilized directly. At the same time, since the electric motor unit ( ) is provided at the rotating shaft ( ) projecting out the other side of the compression unit ( ), the electromagnetic clutch unit and the electric motor unit are set at the same rotating shaft ( ) and the compression unit ( ) and the electric motor unit ( ) are positioned next to each other to reduce the torsional torque generated at the rotating shaft ( ).
