  • Patent number: 6846164
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-cylinder compressor permitting to increase a gas inflow into the housing without enlarging the intake ports of the bearing plate. The bearing plate 12 bearing the crankshaft 9 is provided with plural intake ports 12a at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. The substantially inversely-dished cover member 14 is mounted on the top of the bearing plate 12, and it not only covers the plural intake ports 12a, but also forms a sealed space S between the cover member and the bearing plate 12, and is further provided with an introducing opening 14a larger than the intake port 12a at the center top of the cover member 14. The introducing opening 14a is fitted with the gas supply pipe 15 to be connected to the gas supply source (not illustrated).

  • Patent number: 6692239
    Abstract: A reciprocating compressor of un-lubricating type, equipped with a cooling device including a cooling fan beneath a motor and provided with four gas compressors, each having a cylinder and a piston. The pistons of each gas compressor cooperate by converting a rotating motion of a crankpin of a crankshaft provided on an electric drive source via two yokes having a phase difference of 90 degrees therebetween to a reciprocating motion by a scotch yoke mechanism. The flows of compressed gases from each gas compressor are joined to one place by connecting tubes to be discharged. The lengths of each connecting tube are selected such that pressure waves of the compressed gases compete with each other at the joining point for a time period encompassing one rotation of the crankpin, whereby a pulsation resulting from gas flow discharged in concentration is decreased.

  • Patent number: 6666659
    Abstract: A reciprocating compressor provided with a plurality of gas compression means having a cylinder and a piston. The piston of each gas compression means is cooperated with the compressor by converting a rotating motion of a crankshaft provides on an electric drive source to a reciprocating motion by a scotch yoke mechanism. A cylindrical attachment portion of a flywheel has an outer diameter corresponding to an inner diameter of a rotor shaft hole of the electric drive source, and the cylindrical attachment portion of the flywheel is inserted into the rotor shaft hole to contact with a lower end surface of the crankshaft. The fly wheel may be fastened to the crankshaft via a fastening bolt.

  • Patent number: 6666657
    Abstract: A plurality of gas compression means including a cylinder and a piston in which the piston is cooperated with a compressor by conversion of the rotating motion of a crankshaft provided on a driving source to a reciprocating motion using a scotch yoke mechanism. An expansion muffler is attached to an outlet port of at least one of the gas compression means. Four gas compression means are disposed in opposite one another in a cross shape. Gases compressed by three of the gas compression means are discharged into a cylinder head of the other gas compression means by a connecting tube, and are joined with the flow of gas compressed by the other gas compression means, to be discharged in concentration from the cylinder head of the other gas compression means. The expansion muffler is attached to the outlet port of the cylinder head of the other gas compression means.
