Rotary compressor

Abstract

Provided is a rotary compressor capable of reducing oil exiting a refrigerant discharge pipe by regulating positions of a discharge hole and an opening of the refrigerant discharge pipe to be predetermined positions. According to the concept of the invention, a rotary compressor includes: a driving element which is provided inside a sealed container; and a rotary compression element which is provided inside the sealed container so as to be located below the driving element and to be driven by a rotary shaft of the driving element, wherein a refrigerant discharge pipe is inserted from a side surface of the sealed container above the driving element into the sealed container, and is opened in the horizontal direction, wherein a refrigerant compressed by the rotary compression element is discharged from a discharge hole into the sealed container, and is discharged from the refrigerant discharge pipe to the outside of the sealed container, and wherein the position of the discharge hole is set to a position below an area A1 on the opposite side of the opening direction of the refrigerant discharge pipe from a line L1 passing an opening surface of the refrigerant discharge pipe and perpendicular to the opening direction of the refrigerant discharge pipe.
