Sealed compressor

A sealed compressor comprising:

• an electric element;
• a compression element driven by the electric element;
• a sealed container accommodating the electric element and the compression element;
• and
• a suction pipe attached on the sealed container to provide communication between inside and outside of the sealed container;
• wherein the compression element includes a compression chamber, a piston provided inside of the compression chamber, and a suction muffler made of a fusible resin material, the suction muffler communicating with the inside of the sealed container and the compression chamber;
• the suction muffler is laid out such that an opening portion thereof at the sealed container side faces an opening portion of the suction pipe at the sealed container side;
• and
• the suction muffler includes a hood section provided in the vicinity of the opening portion of the suction muffler to extend toward the inside of the sealed container, the hood section being configured to collect cooling medium gas discharged from the suction pipe;
• and an auxiliary hood fastened to the hood section and extending toward an inner surface of the sealed container so as to increase an area of the hood section for collecting the cooling medium gas, with a gap maintained between the auxiliary hood and the inner surface of the sealed container, and a gap maintained between the suction pipe and an opening portion of the auxiliary hood at the suction pipe side, so as to prevent the auxiliary hood from contacting the inner surface of the sealed container during operation, the auxiliary hood being made of a flexible rubber material.
