Abstract: A rotary compressor includes a cylinder with a vane slot and a suction port. A vane is slidably disposed in the vane slot. The suction port guides fluid to a compression chamber at one circumferential end of the vane slot. The suction port may be formed in a recessed manner in a radial direction such that at least an end of the suction port in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder forms a slot shape extending between opposite axial side surfaces of the cylinder. A circumferential length of the suction port is reduced from conventional suction ports as a result of the slot configuration, thereby advancing the compression start angle, and a partition wall portion between the suction port and the vane slot may have elasticity, thereby suppressing close contact between the vane and the vane slot.

Abstract: A compressor including a hinge recess formed at a rolling piston and a hinge protrusion formed at a vane to be inserted into the hinge recess. A diameter of the hinge protrusion is greater than an interval between both ends of an opening of the hinge recess. A bearing surface, which comes in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the hinge recess, of an outer circumferential surface of the hinge protrusion, has a circumferential surface below 90° at both sides, respectively, based on a central line in a lengthwise direction of the vane. This structure may facilitate cutting and grinding of the bearing surface so as to reduce machining costs, and also improve a machining degree and thus stabilize behaviors of the rolling piston and the vane so as to enhance compression efficiency.
