Abstract
A compressor has a cylindrical sealed container, a compression mechanism and a motor. The compression mechanism, has a cylinder with an intake passage passing through the cylinder in the radial direction. The sealed container has a coupling member having a tip end face facing the periphery of the intake passage in the outer face of the cylinder and a base end to which an intake pipe is mounted. The tip end face of the coupling member serves as a flat sealed face. A concave groove is formed in a peripheral part around the intake passage in the outer face of the cylinder and an O ring is fitted therein. The O ring is pressed against the tip end face of the coupling member, sealing a gap between the cylinder and the coupling member.
Claims24
A compressor comprising:
- a cylindrical sealed container connected to an intake pipe and a discharge pipe;
- a compression mechanism being disposed in the sealed container to compress gas introduced from the intake pipe and discharge the gas into the sealed container, the compression mechanism including a drive shaft and an intake passage extending in a radial direction thereof, the intake passage opens in an outer face of the compression mechanism such that an opening part of the intake passage in the outer face of the compression mechanism faces a terminal end of the intake pipe;
- a motor disposed in the sealed container and operatively connected to the drive shaft of the compression mechanism;
- an elastic support member supporting the compression mechanism and the motor within the sealed container;
- and
- a sealing mechanism including a sealing member pressed against a sealed face formed by one of a peripheral part of the intake passage in the outer face of the compression mechanism and a part of an inner face of the sealed container which faces the peripheral part to connect the intake pipe and the intake passage with each other by sealing a gap between the compression mechanism and the sealed container.
A compressor comprising:
- a cylindrical sealed container connected to an intake pipe and a discharge pipe;
- a compression mechanism having a cylindrical outer shape and being disposed in the sealed container to compress gas introduced from the intake pipe and discharge the gas into the sealed container, the compression mechanism including a drive shaft and an intake passage opening in an outer peripheral face of the compression mechanism such that an opening part of the intake passage in the outer face of the compression mechanism faces a terminal end of the intake pipe;
- a motor disposed in the sealed container and operatively connected to the drive shaft of the compression mechanism;
- an elastic support member supporting the compression mechanism and the motor within the sealed container;
- and
- a sealing mechanism configured and arranged in a gap between the outer peripheral face of the compression mechanism and an inner peripheral face of the sealed container that face each other to form a low-pressure space that communicates with the intake passage and the intake pipe.
