  • Publication number: 20150369245
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vane rotary compressor wherein the volume of a compression room is reduced and a fluid is compressed when a rotor rotates. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides the vane rotary compressor for maximizing the rotational moment of a vane by extending a weight part at a front end part of the curved blade type vane so as to remove the hitting noise due to the delay of the rotational operation of the vane when the rotor is rotated, and increasing the performance by reducing the internal leak.

  • Publication number: 20150010417
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a scroll compressor in which refrigerant is compressed in a compression chamber while the volume of the compression chamber is gradually decreased due to relative rotation of a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll. In accordance with the disclosure, the scroll compressor is provided in which a pressure in a back-pressure chamber is managed in connection with a discharge refrigerant pressure so that the orbiting scroll is supported by the pressure in the back-pressure chamber without a power loss or an inner leak in an overall pressure section of a scroll.

  • Patent number: 8303263
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a compressor, wherein a rotary shaft 140 having a swash plate 144 coupled thereto is used to linearly reciprocate a piston 150 in a cylinder bore 134 formed in front and rear cylinder blocks 130 and 130?. The rotary shaft 140 has a flow channel 142 formed therein and inlets 142a formed to communicate with the flow channel 142. A hub 146 is formed in the swash plate 144, and a shaft hole 146a, through which the rotary shaft 140 passes, is formed in the center of the hub 146. Communication holes 146b are formed in the hub 146 to communicate with the inlets 142a of the flow channel 142. First races 148a are coupled to the hub 146. A rotary shaft hole 148d is formed in the first race 148a, which has a thickness greater in its outer peripheral portion than its inner peripheral portion.

  • Publication number: 20080302128
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a compressor used in an air conditioner of a vehicle. In the present invention, an oil separation chamber and a discharge chamber are formed in one side of a discharge chamber of a compressor, a cylindrical oil separation conduit is formed between the oil separation chamber and the discharge chamber. At the same time, one discharge passage is formed such that refrigerant supplied from the front and rear discharge chambers is collected and oil is separated from the refrigerant, so that the oil is separated from the compressed refrigerant and returns to a swash plate chamber, thereby improving lubricity in the swash plate chamber.

  • Patent number: 6575079
    Abstract: A swash plate compressor includes a drive shaft rotated by a driving source, a swash plate fixedly installed at the drive shaft, a piston reciprocated by the swash plate, a cylinder bore in which the piston is slidingly installed for guiding reciprocation of the piston, a thrust bearing supporting a thrust force generated by the swash plate and the drive shaft, a race having a radial protrusion for preventing rotation at an outer circumference, and a cylinder block having a protrusion fixing element for preventing rotation of the race by fixing the protrusion of the race. Thus, abrasion due to rotational friction between the flat surface of the race and the thrust surface of the cylinder block can be prevented. Also, since generation of a gap between the cylinder block and the swash plate because of the abrasion of the flat surface of the race and the thrust surface of the cylinder block is prevented, noise in the compressor, damage to the thrust bearing, and damage to the neighboring member is prevented.
