  • Patent number: 10914010
    Abstract: A refrigerant compressor includes: an electric component; and a compression component driven by the electric component to compress a refrigerant. At least one sliding member constituting the compression component is made of a base material (185) that is an iron-based material. An abrasion resistance film (180) including a surface layer constituted by at least fine crystals is formed on a sliding surface of the sliding member. The surface layer (181) includes an A portion in which a component contained most is diiron trioxide (Fe2O3). The A portion exists within a range of at least 0.3 ?m or less from an outermost surface of the sliding surface. The abrasion resistance film (180) may include at least one intermediate layer (182 to 184) located between the surface layer (181) and the base material (185). With this, self-abrasion resistance of the sliding member can be improved, so that the refrigerant compressor having excellent reliability and efficiency can be obtained.

  • Publication number: 20190285063
    Abstract: Inside a sealed container (101) of a refrigerant compressor (100), lubricating oil (103) having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 0.1 mm2/S to 5.1 mm2/S is stored, and an electric element (106) and a compression element (107) are accommodated. The compression element (107) is provided with, as a shaft part, a crankshaft (108) comprising a main shaft (109) and an eccentric shaft (110), and as bearing parts, a main bearing (114) that axially supports the main shaft (109) and an eccentric bearing (119) that axially supports the eccentric shaft (110). At least one surface of the main shaft (109) and the eccentric shaft (110) is subjected to a surface treatment, e.g., formation of an oxide film, having a hardness equal to or greater than that of a bearing part (the main bearing (114) or the eccentric bearing (119)). Satisfactory reliability in sliding parts can thereby be achieved even if lubricating oil having lower viscosity is used.

  • Publication number: 20170009759
    Abstract: A synthetic resin film is formed on a region of a valve plate (117) which is brought into contact with an arm portion of a suction valve (120) or a region of the valve plate (117) which is brought into contact with an arm portion of a discharge valve (121). With such a configuration, delay in opening of the suction valve (120) or the discharge valve (121) caused by adhesion force of refrigerating oil is suppressed so that a pressure loss in a suction stroke or a discharge stroke can be reduced whereby compressor efficiency is enhanced. Further, a striking sound generated at the time of closing the suction valve (120) or the discharge valve (121) is reduced by an elastic effect of the synthetic resin film so that the reduction of noises is realized.
