Compressor

A compressor comprising:

• a housing;
• a compression mechanism accommodated in the housing, forming a suction chamber, a discharge chamber, and a compression chamber in conjunction with the housing, and adapted to suck refrigerant into the compression chamber from the suction chamber, compress the refrigerant, and discharge the refrigerant to the discharge chamber;
• an oil separation mechanism provided in the discharge chamber and adapted to separate lubricating oil from the refrigerant and store the lubricating oil in the discharge chamber;
• and
• an oil supply mechanism adapted to lead the lubricating oil in the discharge chamber to the compression mechanism,
• wherein the housing comprises a housing body provided with an inner circumferential surface extending in a circumferential direction, a first partition provided in the housing body and adapted to separate the compression chamber and the discharge chamber from each other, and a second partition coupled to the first partition and provided with the oil separation mechanism,
• the oil separation mechanism comprises an oil separation chamber formed in the second partition and adapted to separate the lubricating oil from the refrigerant led from the compression chamber, and an oil drain path adapted to communicate the oil separation chamber with the discharge chamber,
• the oil supply mechanism comprises an oil supply port formed in the second partition and configured to open vertically downward to take in the lubricating oil from the discharge chamber,
• the oil drain path comprises a first flow path formed by penetrating the second partition and configured to open toward the first partition from the oil separation chamber and a second flow path recessed in at least one of the first partition and the second partition and formed by the cooperation of the first partition and the second partition so as to be communicated with the first flow path, and
• an outlet of the second flow path is located at a higher level in a vertical direction than an inlet of the second flow path while avoiding a direction facing the oil supply port.
