Abstract
A compressor includes a housing, a cylinder, a roller, and a vane. The cylinder is inside the housing and has a cylinder chamber formed therein. The roller is configured to be rotatable in the cylinder chamber, and has a vane groove on an outer surface and an oil guide that extends between the vane groove and the inner surface of the roller. The oil guide guides oil within the vane groove. The vane is configured to be inserted and moved in the vane groove. The vane and the roller together partition the cylinder chamber into an inlet chamber into which a refrigerant is introduced and a compression chamber in which the refrigerant is compressed.
