Patent number: 11073152Abstract: Disclosed herein may be a compressor. The compressor may include: a casing; a compression unit configured to suck refrigerant from a suction space of the casing, compress the sucked refrigerant, and discharge the compressed refrigerant to a discharge space of the casing; an oil recovery passage configured to recover oil separated from refrigerant in the discharge space to the suction space; and a reducer inserted into the oil recovery passage to reduce a pressure of oil passing through the oil recovery passage. The reducer may include a deformation preventing unit configured to prevent the reducer from being damaged when the reducer is inserted into the oil recovery passage. Therefore, the reducer may be prevented from being damaged when the reducer is inserted into the oil recovery passage. The costs required to prevent the reducer from being damaged, check the conditions of the reducer, and repair reducer may be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2019Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Hanon SystemsInventors: Hong Min Kim, Kweon Soo Lim, Soo Cheol Jeong, Hun Teck Jo

Patent number: 11000783Abstract: A chamber has a first opening, a second opening, and a third opening. The second opening is higher in level than the first and third openings, and is located at the highest position of a reservoir. Air bubbles are easily collected around the second opening, higher in level than the third opening, due to buoyancy. Moreover, the chamber includes an upper slope on an upper inner wall thereof such that a sectional area of the chamber becomes smaller toward the highest position of the reservoir. The upper slope causes the air bubbles not to stagnate but to be guided to the second opening along the upper slope. This makes easy discharge of the air bubbles from the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Inventors: Junki Nishimura, Hiroyuki Ogura, Masahito Kashiyama, Toru Momma, Shoji Kirita, Hidetoshi Sagawa, Shogo Yoshida

Patent number: 10935085Abstract: A switchable one-way clutch is provided for selectively switching between operating as a one-way clutch and a bi-directional locking clutch. The clutch includes a housing, and an outer race and an inner race, which is fixed rotationally to the housing. The clutch also includes a roller cage assembly having a plurality of rollers contactable with the inner race and the outer race. A roller cage is configured to position and contain the plurality of rollers therein. The clutch also includes an annular drag plate contacting the inner race. The drag plate is rotationally fixed to the roller cage and is moveable in an axial direction relative to the roller cage. An electromagnet assembly is configured to magnetize in response to electric energy. Via selective magnetization to attract the drag plate axially, the clutch can switch between operating modes.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2018Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: SCHAEFFLER TECHNOLOGIES AG & CO. KGInventors: Jordan Geiser, Michael Hodge
