  • Patent number: 10180271
    Abstract: The multiple cylinder rotary compressor includes a compressor body including a hermetic case, the hermetic case housing inside a rotating shaft, an electric motor section, and a compression mechanism body. The compression mechanism body includes at least three compression mechanism sections which stack with each other, partition plates between the corresponding adjacent compression mechanism sections, and a primary bearing and a secondary bearing supporting the rotating shaft on both end sides of the compression mechanism body. The compression mechanism sections include a cylinder forming inside a cylinder chamber, an eccentric section provided to the rotating shaft, disposed in the cylinder chamber, a roller fitted to the eccentric section, rotating eccentrically within the cylinder chamber, and a blade dividing the inside of the cylinder chamber into two. At least one partition plate constitutes a partition plate bearing supporting the rotating shaft.

  • Patent number: 7841838
    Abstract: A rotary closed type compressor is configured such that an inside of a case becomes high pressure, and the rotary closed type compressor comprises a first cylinder and a second cylinder having cylinder chambers in which eccentric rollers are housed, respectively, vanes which divide the cylinder chamber into two sections, respectively, and vane chambers in which back-face side end portions of the vanes are housed, respectively. The vane on the first cylinder side is pressed and biased by a spring member provided in the vane chamber, and the vane on the second cylinder side is pressed and biased according to pressure difference between case internal pressure introduced to the vane chamber and suction pressure or discharge pressure introduced to the cylinder chamber.

  • Patent number: 7290994
    Abstract: A vane of a first cylinder is compressed and urged by a spring member. A vane of a second cylinder is compressed and urged corresponding to a differential pressure between an intra-casing pressure guided into a vane chamber and a suction pressure or discharge pressure guided to the cylinder chamber. A pressure shift mechanism which guides the suction pressure or discharge pressure has a branch pipe having a one end connected to a high pressure side of the refrigeration cycle, an other end connected to a suction pipe, and a first on-off valve in a midway portion, and a second on-off valve or a check valve which is provided in the suction pipe on a side upstream of a connection portion of the branch pipe and on a side downstream of an oil returning opening in an accumulator.
