  • Patent number: 9127675
    Abstract: A vane compressor including plural vanes that perform a compression operation such that the normal to a circular arc formed by each vane tip portion and the normal to the inner peripheral surface of a cylinder are constantly approximately coincident with each other. Each of the plural vanes is held constantly in the normal direction of the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder or is held constantly along a direction having a fixed inclination with respect to the normal direction of the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder so that the compression operation is performed in the state the normal to the circular arc formed by the tip portion of each of the plural vanes and the normal to the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder are constantly approximately coincident with each other. The plural vanes are rotatably and movably supported with respect to a rotor portion.

  • Patent number: 9115716
    Abstract: There is provided a vane compressor with a plurality of vanes having a structure in which a rotor portion and a rotary shaft are unitarily formed so as to reduce bearing sliding loss of the rotary shaft and reduce gas leakage loss by narrowing a space formed between the rotor portion and the inner peripheral surface of a cylinder.

  • Patent number: 8602760
    Abstract: A vane compressor according to the present invention, including a cylinder which is approximately cylindrical and whose both ends located in an axial direction are open, a cylinder head and a frame which close both the ends of the cylinder, a rotor shaft which includes a rotor part being cylindrical and rotating in the cylinder and a shaft part transmitting torque to the rotor part, and a vane which is installed in the rotor part and whose tip portion has the R-shape facing outward, performs the compression operation in the state where the normal to the R-shape of the tip portion of the vane and the normal to the inner surface of the cylinder are always approximately coincident with each other.
