Hermetic compressor having discharge muffler

A hermetic compressor comprising a compressing unit and an electromotive unit,

• the compressing unit comprising:
• a cylinder block having a compression chamber;
• a cylinder head having a discharge chamber which is controllably couplable to the compression chamber;
• discharge muffler body portion and a discharge muffler cover which form a discharge muffler chamber coupled to the discharge chamber;
• a piston configured to compress a refrigerant in the compression chamber;
• and
• a main frame having at least one mounting leg,
• the electromotive unit comprising:
• a stator;
• a rotor;
• and
• a crankshaft coupled to the rotor,
• wherein the electromotive unit is configured such that rotary motion of the rotor relative to the stator causes rotation of the crankshaft which drives the piston to compress the refrigerant in the compression chamber, and
• wherein the compressing unit is coupled to the stator of the electromotive unit and supported by the at least one mounting leg of the main frame and the discharge muffler cover,
• the hermetic compressor further comprising a connecting bolt which attaches the discharge muffler body portion to the stator and passes through the discharge muffler cover thereby holding the discharge muffler cover in place.
