Abstract
A rotary type valve plate compressor may include a shaft, a housing through which the shaft passes, a plurality of cylinders mounted in the housing, a piston received in the cylinder and to be moved forward and rearward in response to rotational operation of a swash plate, and a rotary type valve plate to receive a rotational force of the shaft and to open and close a refrigerant passage hole through which refrigerant passes, based on a phase of the piston.
Claims10
A rotary type valve plate compressor, comprising;
- a shaft;
- a housing through which the shaft passes;
- a plurality of cylinders mounted in the housing;
- a piston received in each cylinder of the cylinders and configured to move forward and rearward in response to rotational operation of a swash plate;
- a rotary type valve plate configured to receive a rotational force of the shaft and formed with a plurality of refrigerant passage holes through which refrigerant passes, wherein refrigerant passage holes of the plurality of refrigerant passage holes are selectively open or closed based on a phase of the piston;
- a hole guide coupled to one side of the rotary type valve plate;
- and
- an end cover coupled to one side of the hole guide,
- wherein:
- the refrigerant passage holes include:
- a low-temperature low-pressure gas-suctioning hole, and a high-temperature high-pressure gas-discharging hole which is disposed at a different radial position from the low-temperature low-pressure gas-suctioning hole,
- the low-temperature low-pressure gas-suctioning hole has an arc shape greater than an arc shape of the high-temperature high-pressure gas-discharging hole,
- a radius of curvature of the high-temperature high-pressure gas-discharging hole is different from a radius of curvature of the low-temperature low-pressure gas-suctioning hole,
- the hole guide includes a plurality of refrigerant-flowing holes formed at regular intervals at different radial positions which are opened and closed by the rotary type valve plate, and
- the plurality of refrigerant-flowing holes includes:
- outer refrigerant-flowing holes configured to communicate with the low-temperature low-pressure gas-suctioning hole, and inner refrigerant-flowing holes configured to communicate with the high-temperature high-pressure gas-suctioning hole.
