Abstract
The invention relates to a connection component of a refrigerant compressor for joining a housing of the refrigerant compressor to a device that is in operative connection with the refrigerant compressor, the connection component comprising an inner element and an outer element surrounding the inner element, where the inner element has a higher stiffness than the outer element and the outer element has a functional segment that is designed so that in a loaded state of the connection component it is supported both at the housing and also at the device.

A connection component of a refrigerant compressor for joining a housing of the refrigerant compressor to a device that is in operative connection with the refrigerant compressor, the connection component comprising an inner element and an outer element surrounding the inner element, where the inner element has a higher stiffness than the outer element and where the outer element has a functional segment, which is designed so that in a loaded state of the connection component it is supported both at the housing and at the device, where in the loaded state a relative movement between the housing and the device and parallel to an axial direction exits and compressive load parallel to the axial direction prevails, where a free space is provided, which, looking in a transverse direction joins the functional segment of the outer element, where the inner element and the outer element, looking parallel to the transverse direction, are disposed one behind the other and where in the loaded state of the connection component the functional segment is deformed so that it at least in part protrudes into the free space, characterized in that the outer element has an inner segment disposed closer to the inner element and an outer segment, where the functional segment is formed by one of the two segments and of the two segments only the functional segment is supported both at the housing and at the device in the loaded state, and in that in the loaded state of the connection component, the deformed functional segment abuts at least in part an abutment member of the connection component which abutment member, looking in the transverse direction, abuts the free space.
