  • Patent number: 10883501
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a two-stage rotary compressor in which refrigerant inhaled into a compression space of a cylinder is compressed sequentially in two axially connected compression chambers and then is discharged. A rotary compressor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first compression unit and a second compression unit arranged on and along a single rotation shaft. Middle-pressure refrigerant discharged from the first compression unit flows into the second compression unit. A maximum gas force of the first compression unit and a maximum gas force of the second compression unit counteract with each other, thereby reducing a reaction force acting on a rotation shaft. According to the present disclosure, a single rotary compressor is configured to separately achieve the stroke volume increase and the compression period increase.

  • Patent number: 9022757
    Abstract: A compressor is provided that includes an accumulator formed in an internal space of a shell to reduce a size of the compressor. An accumulator space may be formed using the shell of the compressor, thereby simplifying an assembly process. A stationary shaft having a refrigerant suction passage may be directly connected to the accumulator to prevent leakage of refrigerant. A discharge passage may be formed in a rotating body to enhance a cooling effect of a drive motor, and an oil separating member may be installed in the discharge passage to prevent oil from being excessively leaked out. A center of gravity of the accumulator may correspond to a center of gravity of the compressor to reduce vibration noise of the compressor caused by the accumulator. An area for installing a compressor including the accumulator may be minimized to enhance design flexibility of an outdoor device.
