Abstract
A hermetic compressor includes a compressor mechanism section 40 which includes first and second rotary cylinders 41a and 41b, and first and second pistons 42a and 42b eccentrically rotated in first and second grooves 42a and 43b in the first and second rotary cylinders 41a and 41b, upper and lower bearings 50a and 50b which clamp the first and second rotary cylinders 41a and 41b, and a casing 51. A projection, 64, a projection 66 or a recess 67 is formed on slide faces in the components of the compressor mechanism section 40, whereby the power loss due to the viscosity is reduced remarkably by reducing the sliding area of the slide faces. Thus, the efficiency of the compressor can be enhanced, and the inclination and the eccentricity of the rotary cylinder can be suppressed to the minimum.
Claims11
A hermetic compressor, comprising compressing mechanisms provided in a casing, each of said compressing mechanisms including a rotary cylinder having a groove, and a piston slidable in said groove, so that the suction and compression are carried out by rotation of said piston on a locus of a radius E about a point spaced at a distance E apart from the center of said rotary cylinder, opposite end faces of said casing being sandwiched between bearings, wherein a recess, which does not communicate with said groove, is defined in that end face of said rotary cylinder which is a slide face relative to said bearings.
A hermetic compressor, comprising compressing mechanisms provided in a casing, each of the compressing mechanisms including a rotary cylinder having a groove, and a piston slidable in said groove, so that the suction and compression are carried out by rotation of said piston on a locus of a radius E about a point spaced at a distance E apart from the center of said rotary cylinder, opposite end faces of said casing being sandwiched between bearings, wherein a projection is formed on that outer peripheral surface of said rotary cylinder, which is a slide face relative to said casing.
A hermetic compressor, comprising compressing mechanisms provided in a casing, each of said compressing mechanisms including a rotary cylinder having a groove, and a piston slidable in said groove, so that the suction and compression are carried out by rotation of said piston on a locus of a radius E about a point spaced at a distance E apart from the center of said rotary cylinder, opposite end faces of said casing being sandwiched between bearings, wherein a projection is formed on that inner peripheral surface of said casing, which is a slide face relative to said rotary cylinder.
A hermetic compressor, comprising compressing mechanisms provided in a casing, each of the compressing mechanisms including a rotary cylinder having a groove, and a piston slidable in the groove, so that the suction and compression are carried out by rotation of the piston on a locus of a radius E about a point spaced at a distance E apart from the center of the rotary cylinder, opposite end faces of the casing being sandwiched between bearings, wherein a recess, which does not communicate with said groove, is defined in that end face of the piston, which is a slide face relative to said bearing.
A hermetic compressor, comprising a plurality of compressing mechanisms provided in a casing, each of said compressing mechanisms including a rotary cylinder having a groove, and a piston slidable in the groove, so that the suction and compression are carried out by rotation of said piston on a locus of a radius E about a point spaced at a distance E apart from the center of said rotary cylinder, opposite end faces of said casing being sandwiched between bearings;
- and a partition plate interposed between the rotary cylinders of the adjacent compressing mechanisms, wherein a recess, which does not communicate with the groove, is defined in that end face of the piston, which is a slide face relative to said partition plate.
