Abstract
A compressor of the vehicle's cooling system is configured such that an external refrigerant is introduced into a shaft in a radial direction through a body, flows in the shaft in an axial direction, and then is discharged to a refrigerant compression space in the body, thereby shortening the flow path of the refrigerant and minimizing flow path resistance. Moreover, since no suction valves and suction chambers are required, the structure is simplified and the cost is reduced.
Claims20
A compressor of a vehicle's cooling system comprising:
- a body formed to introduce a refrigerant from the outside in a radial direction thereof;
- and
- a shaft rotatably coupled to the body and formed such that the refrigerant introduced into the body enters into the shaft in the radial direction thereof, flows in an axial direction thereof, and then exits in the radial direction thereof toward a refrigerant compression space formed in the body.
A compressor of a vehicle's cooling system comprising:
- a body having a body refrigerant inlet hole formed therein to introduce a refrigerant from the outside in a radial direction thereof;
- a shaft rotatably disposed in the body and having shaft refrigerant inlet holes and shaft refrigerant outlet holes, the shaft refrigerant inlet holes for introducing the refrigerant introduced via the body refrigerant inlet hole and the shaft refrigerant outlet holes for discharging the refrigerant introduced to the inside of the shaft toward a refrigerant compression space formed in the body in a radial direction of the shaft;
- a swash plate axially coupled to the shaft and having a swash plate refrigerant inlet hole communicating with the shaft refrigerant inlet hole;
- a piston coupled to one side of the swash plate and linearly reciprocating in the body during rotation of the shaft;
- and
- front and rear heads respectively installed on opened front and rear surfaces of the body and for discharging the compressed refrigerant coming from the refrigerant compression space to the outside.
