  • Patent number: 9664192
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a compression mechanism unit of a rotary compressor includes a cylinder includes a cylinder chamber, a roller in the chamber, first and second vanes which come into contact with the roller and partition the chamber into a compression side and an absorption side, and a bias member which biases the vanes. On both end sides of a posterior end portion of the first vane, first vane side attachment portions having an equal dimension in the axial direction are provided. On both end sides of the second vane along the axial direction of the axis, second vane side attachment portions having an equal dimension in the axial direction are provided. The vanes are attached to the bias member via the attachment portions.

  • Publication number: 20150078933
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a rotary compressor accommodating an electric motor portion and a compression mechanism portion in a sealed case, wherein the compression mechanism portion comprises a cylinder, a roller, and a vane. The vane is disposed by stacking two divided vanes in a height direction of the cylinder, which is an axis direction of the rotation axis, and where a height dimension of one divided vane is H, and a minute gap between a height dimension of the cylinder and a height dimension of the two stacked divided vanes is L, a proportion of the minute gap L to the vane height dimension H per one divided vane is 0.001<L/number of divided vanes/H<0.0015.

  • Patent number: 8833396
    Abstract: A multiple electromagnetic valve includes a main valve portion in which four or more valve holes are formed parallel to each other inside a valve body, and a spool for switching flow paths is placed in each valve hole, and a pilot operating portion having solenoid-operated pilot valves that drive the spools with pilot fluid. The valve holes are disposed inside the valve body in two upper and lower tiers. A plurality of valve holes belongs in each of the upper tier and lower tier. The valve holes in the upper tier and the valve holes in the lower tier occupy different positions in the width direction of the valve body. The valve holes in the upper tier and the valve holes in the lower tier partially overlap each other in the plan view of the valve body.

  • Publication number: 20090039727
    Abstract: A motor 10 includes a cylindrical housing 2 having an inner circumferential surface 2a, and a stator core 13 accommodated in the housing 2. The stator core 13 includes a plurality of separate cores 30, which are annularly arranged along the inner circumferential surface 2a of the housing 2. Each separate core 30 includes a core back 31, which forms a part of the cylinder of the stator core 13, and a tooth 15, which project radially inward from the core back 31. The core back 31 is formed such that vertices A1, A2 of the corners of an arcuate portion 32 in the radially outer side are inside a range between rays L1, L2 that extend from a center point O of the stator core toward vertices B1, B2 of the corners of a straight portion 33 of the core back 31 in the radially inner side.
