  • Patent number: 6974314
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a multi-stage compression type rotary compressor which can avoid the replacement of parts to be used as much as possible to reduce costs and also which enables easily setting an appropriate displacement volume ratio while preventing the compressor from being increased in size. The gist of the present invention is that an inner diameter of a lower cylinder is altered without altering its thickness (or height), and a displacement volume ratio between first and second rotary compression elements is set to an optimum value in accordance with the alteration.

  • Patent number: 6971849
    Abstract: A compressor for receiving at least one compression element in a sealed container is provided. The sealed container comprises a container body and a cover member for blocking an opening of the container body, both of which are made of an aluminum material. The cover member is electrically welded to the container body over an entire circumference of the cover member, and thick ribs with a thickness dimension extending from a circumference portion to a central portion are formed with a predetermined pitch on the cover member. In this manner, an increase in the manufacturing cost and a reduction of the workability can be substantially suppressed, while the reliability of the sealed container of the compressor and the aluminum members assembled by arc welding can be substantially improved.

  • Patent number: 6892454
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a multi-stage compression type rotary compressor which avoids the replacement of parts to be used as much as possible to reduce costs and also which enables easily setting an appropriate displacement volume ratio between first and second rotary compression elements without increasing the size of the compressor outer housing. This is done by altering the inner diameter of the cylinder of one of the rotary compression elements without altering the thickness (or height) of this cylinder to set a displacement volume ratio between the first and second rotary compression elements to an optimum value in accordance with the alteration.

  • Publication number: 20050074354
    Abstract: An object is to provide a compressor capable of surely preventing leakage of a refrigerant gas from a connection portion between an airtight container and a pipe to the outside at low costs. The compressor comprises an airtight container to which a refrigerant introduction pipe is connected, and a compression element received in the airtight container to discharge the refrigerant into the same. The refrigerant introduction pipe has a cylindrical pipe main body, and a jaw-like flange portion formed in a tip of the pipe main body. A cylindrical connection sleeve is disposed between the refrigerant introduction pipe and the airtight container. A first bolt is disposed to connect the connection sleeve to the airtight container, and a second bolt is disposed to connect the connection sleeve to the flange portion of the refrigerant introduction pipe. The flange portion of the refrigerant introduction pipe hides the first bolt.

  • Publication number: 20050069445
    Abstract: An object is to execute sure oil supplying to a second rotary compression element in a horizontal type compressor equipped with the second rotary compression element in which pressure becomes higher than that in an airtight container. A horizontal type rotary compressor of a multistage compression system comprises a driving element and a compression mechanism section driven by the driving element in a horizontal type airtight container. The compression mechanism section is constituted of first and second rotary compression elements. A refrigerant compressed by the first rotary compression element is discharged into the airtight container, and the discharged refrigerant of intermediate pressure is further compressed by the second rotary compression element to be discharged. A gist is that an oil supply passage is formed in a cylinder of the second rotary compression element 34 to communicate a low-pressure chamber of the cylinder with a bottom part in the airtight container.

  • Patent number: 6732542
    Abstract: A defroster restrains a vane jump that takes place when an evaporator is defrosted in a refrigerant circuit using a so-called internal intermediate-pressure type double-stage compression rotary compressor. The defroster includes a rotary compressor that discharges a refrigerant gas that has been compressed by a first rotary compressing unit into a hermetic vessel and further compresses the discharged intermediate-pressure refrigerant gas, a gas cooler, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. To defrost the evaporator, the refrigerant gas discharged from the second rotary compressing unit is introduced into the evaporator without decompressing it by the expansion valve. Furthermore, the refrigerant gas discharged from the first rotary compressing unit is introduced into the evaporator. At the same time, an electromotive unit of the rotary compressor is run at a predetermined number of revolutions.
