  • Patent number: 7568895
    Abstract: A dual capacity compressor that prevents relative movement from taking place between certain components is provided. The dual capacity compressor includes a power generating part having a reversible motor and a crank shaft inserted in the motor, and a compression part having a cylinder, a piston and a connecting rod. A crank pin is provided in an upper part of the crank shaft, eccentric from an axis of the crank shaft, and an eccentric sleeve is rotatably fitted between the crank pin and an end of the connecting rod. A key member is held at least a part of the eccentric sleeve, and held at a particular portion of at the eccentric sleeve during operation so as to positively latch the eccentric sleeve with the crank pin in both directions rotation of the motor.

  • Patent number: 7249936
    Abstract: A dual capacity compressor, which can maintain a fixed eccentricity and stable operation, even when the compressor is rotated in both the regular and reverse directions in order to provide multiple compression capacities, is provided. This dual capacity compressor implements an improved key member and associated key member fitting parts to inhibit relative motion of the crank pin and the eccentric sleeve during operation, so as to reduce or eliminate a destabilizing effect due to centrifugal forces on the eccentric sleeve and external forces applied through the connecting rod.

  • Patent number: 7100743
    Abstract: A crankshaft in a dual capacity compressor is disclosed, which causes oil contained in a lower portion of the compressor to flow up to an upper portion thereof with respect to all the rotational directions of a motor. A crank shaft (100) includes a driving shaft (110) inserted into a reversible motor (21, 22) for rotating along with the motor (21, 22), a balance weight (120) formed in a top portion of the driving shaft (110) for preventing vibration during rotation from occurring, a crank pin (130) formed on an upper surface of the balance weight (120) to be eccentric from the center of the driving shaft (110), and a regular/reverse oil path (140) formed along the balance weight (120) and the crank pin (130) for moving oil for forward rotation and reverse rotation of the motor respectively. The crankshaft serves to stably lubricate each driving part of the dual capacity compressor regardless of rotation direction.

  • Publication number: 20020182086
    Abstract: Dual capacity compressor is provided to prevent relative movement between parts that maintain eccentricity. To this end, the dual capacity compressor comprises a power generating unit 20, having a reversible motor 21 and 22 and a crank shaft 23 inserted into the motor 21 and 22; a compressing unit 30 having a cylinder 32, a piston 31 and a connecting rod 33 connected with the piston 31; a crank pin 110 and 210 eccentrically formed on an upper end portion of the crank shaft 23; an eccentric sleeve 120 and 220 mounted between the crank pin 110 and 210 and one end of the connecting rod 33; and a key member 130 and 230 for completely restricting the eccentric sleeve 120 and 220 to the crank pin 110 and 210 in both clockwise and counter clockwise direction rotations of the motor.
