Publication number: 20030138340Abstract: A cylinder assembly of a compressor includes: a cylinder having a cylindrical inner space partitioned into a first space and a second space as partition plate of a rotational shaft is inserted thereinto and a step insertion portion formed at both sides thereof in a ring shape; a first bearing having the rotational shaft coupled at a central portion and being inserted to be coupled into the step insertion portion formed at one side of the cylinder so as to cover the inner space of the cylinder; and a second bearing having the rotational shaft coupled at the central portion thereof and being inserted to be coupled into the step insertion portion formed at the other side of the cylinder so as to cover the inner space of the cylinder. A dead volume is reduced and thus a re-expansion loss of a refrigerant gas can be reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2002Publication date: July 24, 2003Inventors: Young-Jong Kim, Jong-Hun Ha, Byung-Ha Ahn

Publication number: 20030108438Abstract: A compressor including a cylinder assembly having a compression space through which suction passages and discharge passages are connected, a rotation driving unit inserted into the compression space of the cylinder assembly to transfer a rotation force, a slant compression slanted plate installed in the compression space to divide the compression space into at least two parts and rotating by being connected to the rotation driving unit, and vane units attached on both sides of the slant compression plate to classify the partitioned compression space into a suction space and a compression. With this construction, a vibration and a noise can be reduced and a stable driving force can be obtained even with a relatively small capacity electric motor. In addition, since fluid can be compressed and discharged simultaneously in both sides of the slant compression plate, an excellent compression performance can be accomplished in a simple structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2002Publication date: June 12, 2003Inventors: Young-Jong Kim, Hui-Cheol Kim, Bum-Dong Sa, Byung-Ha Ahn, Kwang-Sik Yang, Seung-Jun Lee, Jang-Woo Lee, Hyoung-Joo Cho, Kang-Wook Cha, Jong-Hun Ha, Song-Kie Hong
