Abstract: A compressor includes a closed container and a compression element that are welded together at least three welding points. The closed container has a suction port with a suction tube fitted to the suction port of the closed container with the suction tube being arranged and configured to suck a refrigerant gas, and the suction tube has a central axis that lies in a plane which is orthogonal to the central axis of the closed container and that passes through the suction port. The welding points are arranged such that straight lines connecting all combinations of any two of the welding points are neither parallel to the central axis of the suction tube nor perpendicular to the central axis of the suction tube, to reduce vibrations of the suction tube that occur when vibrations of the motor are transmitted to the closed container.

Abstract: A stagnation space defined by barriers is provided in a first muffler chamber communicating with a first cylinder chamber. The stagnation space overlaps with a refrigerant-gas inlet side of the first cylinder chamber, the inlet side being bordered by a center plane as viewed in a direction of a center axis of the first cylinder chamber. In the first muffler chamber, the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas is unlikely to enter into the stagnation space, so that heat is less absorbed to the inlet side of the first cylinder chamber.

Abstract: A compressor includes a closed container and a compression element welded together at least three, preferably six, welding points. A suction tube for sucking refrigerant gas is attached to the closed container. A first direction and a second direction that are associated with a natural vibration mode of the suction tube do not coincide with a direction in which any two of the welding points are aligned. Accordingly, vibration of the suction tube can be reduced by arrangement of the welding points even if vibration of a motor is transmitted to the compression element.

Abstract: A compressor includes a compression mechanism, a motor coupled to the compression mechanism via a driving shaft, and a casing to accommodate the compression mechanism and the motor. The motor includes a stator, and a rotor disposed inside the stator and coupled to the driving shaft. The stator is spot-joined to the casing via a plurality of stator spot-joined portions at different positions along a circumferential direction about the driving shaft. Preferably, the stator spot-joined portions are disposed at different axial positions. Also, the stator spot-joined portions are preferably disposed at different circumferential positions from positions of compression mechanism-side spot-joined portions. When an accumulator is connected to the casing via a connection pipe, a straight line between any two of the plurality of stator spot-joined portions preferably crosses a vibration direction of a natural vibration mode of the accumulator.

Abstract: In a refrigeration apparatus (1) for which refrigerant containing a compound represented by a molecular formula of C3HmFn(note that m=1-5, n=1-5, and m+n=6) is used, a compressor including a first compression mechanism (20A) and a second compression mechanism (20B) inside a casing (11) is used in order to reduce or prevent decomposition of refrigerant due to an increase in discharge temperature of a compressor (10) performing a compression phase of refrigerant in a refrigeration cycle.

Abstract: A muffler installation structure for compressors includes an end plate member fitted to an opening end of a cylinder body, a cup-shaped muffler fitted to the end plate member, and a fixing member for fixing the muffler to the end plate member. At places near the fixing member, an inner peripheral surface of a peripheral wall of the muffler and an outer peripheral surface of a body portion of the end plate member are clearance-fitted to each other. At places distant from the fixing member, on the other hand, the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall of the muffler and the outer peripheral surface of the body portion of the end plate member are close-fitted.

Abstract: A muffler cover of a compression element has discharge outlets or hole portions that discharge a compressed refrigerant gas into a closed vessel from a compression element. A suction pipe provides refrigerant gas, which can be sucked into the compression element in the closed vessel. The suction pipe is attached to the closed vessel. A first direction and a second direction, which correspond to natural vibration modes of the suction pipe, do not coincide with a direction that connects two hole portions. Therefore, even if the refrigerant gas discharged from the compression element resonates in the closed vessel, vibrations of the suction pipe can be reduced.

Abstract: A compressor includes a closed container, a compression element placed within the closed container, and a motor placed within the closed container to drive the compression element via a shaft. An integral structural part is formed by integrally assembling a compression element with a rotor via a shaft. The natural frequency of the integral structural part is larger than five times the maximum number of rotations of the compressor during its operation. A coil of a stator is provided in concentrated winding. A cylindrical-shaped rotor core of the rotor has a small-diameter portion and a large-diameter portion provided inside the rotor core. The shaft is fixed to the small-diameter portion of the rotor core. A bearing of the compression element is arranged to support the shaft and is inserted into the large-diameter portion of the rotor core, with the shaft being cantilevered by the bearing.

Abstract: A discharge port of a compression element is positioned inside an outer circumferential surface of a stator, as seen looking in a direction of a rotation axis of a shaft, and overlaps the stator, as seen looking in a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis of the shaft. Accordingly, refrigerant gas discharged from the compression element can be made to flow mainly into spaces inside the outer circumferential surface of the stator.

The operation body is rotated by intermittently hitting the pawl member of the hammer body against the wing member of the operation body in a rotational direction of the hammer body. The impact contacting area of the pawl member can be brought into point-contact or line-contact with the impact contacting area of the wing member.
