Abstract: A compressor structure includes a vane rotor and a cylinder eccentrically disposed around the vane rotor. The vane rotor has a vane impeller. The vane impeller is in tangential contact with the cylinder to define an eccentric crescent vane chamber. A vane is radially slidably received in the vane impeller. An outward extending top end of the vane tightly abuts against the inner circumferential wall of the vane chamber, whereby the vane chamber is partitioned into an intake section and a compression exhaustion section. When the vane rotor rotates, the vane is driven to drive the cylinder to complete gas compression operation. When rotating, the vane is simply swung at a fixed position of the cylinder, the friction of the compressor can be lowered. The communication of the gas outlet is regulated so that the compression ratio of the compressed gas exhausted from the compressor can be changed.
