  • Patent number: 10767651
    Abstract: In the two-cylinder hermetic compressor, a first compression mechanism unit includes a first cylinder and a first piston, and a second compression mechanism unit includes a second cylinder and a second piston. A main bearing is disposed on one surface of the first cylinder, and an intermediate plate is disposed on another surface of the first cylinder. The intermediate plate is disposed on one surface of the second cylinder, and an auxiliary bearing is disposed on another surface of the second cylinder. A shaft is constituted by a main shaft portion which has a rotor attached thereto and is supported by the main bearing, a first eccentric portion having a first piston attached thereto, a second eccentric portion having a second piston attached thereto, and an auxiliary shaft portion supported by the auxiliary bearing. The diameter of the auxiliary shaft portion is set larger than the diameter of the main shaft portion.

  • Patent number: 10233928
    Abstract: A main bearing is disposed on one surface of a first cylinder, an intermediate plate is disposed on another surface of the first cylinder, the intermediate plate is disposed on one surface of a second cylinder, and an auxiliary bearing is disposed on another surface of the second cylinder. A shaft is constituted by a main shaft portion, a first eccentric portion, a second eccentric portion, and an auxiliary shaft portion. A first eccentric portion center position (H1/2) which is the center position of the first eccentric portion in height (H1) is located at a position closer to the main bearing than a first piston center position (P1/2) which is the center position of a first piston in height (P1). A second eccentric portion center position (H2/2) which is the center position of the second eccentric portion in height (H2) is located at a position closer to the auxiliary bearing than a second piston center position (P2/2) which is the center position of a second piston in height (P2).

  • Patent number: 6447274
    Abstract: A rotary compressor of the present invention includes a compression mechanism, motor and hermetically sealed housing. The compression mechanism includes compression elements, a rotary shaft and bearing. The compression elements includes a cylinder block, piston, and vane. The cylinder block has a cylinder hole and vane groove. The compression mechanism and the motor are housed in the hermetically sealed housing. The cylinder block is made up of sintered metal. The compression mechanism is welded to the hermetically sealed housing in a region other than the cylinder block. Preferably, the cylinder block includes a first cylinder block and a second cylinder block, and the first cylinder block and the second cylinder block are formed by machining sinter-molded blanks identical in shape. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the machining processes and to make the blank parts usable in common, thereby realizing a low-cost compressor.
