  • Patent number: 9765783
    Abstract: A gas compressor comprising a compressor main body including an approximately cylindrical rotor, a cylinder, a plurality of plate-like vanes formed to abut on the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder, and two side blocks is disclosed. A plurality of compression rooms is arranged inside the compressor main body so as to compress a medium and discharge the compressed high-pressure medium. A back-pressure-supplying groove supplies the back-pressure so as to project the vane toward the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder is arranged. An outer circumferential edge portion of the back-pressure-supplying groove is formed so as to increase a distance from a rotational center of the rotor toward the front side in the rotational direction of the rotor. A sectional surface area of a communication portion between the vane groove and the back-pressure-supplying groove increases until they are separated according to the rotation of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 9556872
    Abstract: A gas compressor comprises a rotor having vane grooves, a cylinder shaped to surround an outer circumference of the rotor, vanes plate-shaped, slidably inserted into the vane grooves, and abuttable at one ends on the inner circumference of the cylinder, upon receiving a back pressure from the vane grooves, two side blocks to enclose both ends of the rotor and the cylinder, respectively, compression chambers supplied with a medium to compress the medium to a high-pressure medium for discharge, an oil separator to separate, from the discharged high-pressure medium, oil to be used as the back pressure, an oil path through which the oil at a certain pressure is supplied to the vane grooves, and a high-pressure supply hole formed in at least one of the side blocks, including a small diameter portion and a large diameter portion integrally formed.
