A hermetic compressor is provided that may include a fluid guide disposed in an inner space of an intermediate chamber, so as to guide oil, discharged from a first compression chamber of a first compression device into the inner space of the intermediate chamber, to a second compression chamber of a second compression device without remaining in the inner space of the intermediate chamber, whereby noise generated due to an excessive amount of oil remaining in the inner space of the intermediate chamber may be reduced, and simultaneously a shortage of oil in the second compression device may be prevented.

A rotary compressor includes a cylinder that is coupled to an inner space of a casing and that defines a compression space, a first bearing and a second bearing located at upper and lower sides of the cylinder, a roller disposed eccentrically with respect to an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder to vary a volume of the compression space based on rotation, and a vane inserted into the roller to rotate together with the roller, and drawn out toward the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder during the rotation of the roller to partition the compression space into a plurality of compression chambers. A suction passage communicating with the compression space is defined in the first bearing or the second bearing, and a suction port communicating between the suction passage and the compression space is defined on a side surface of the cylinder.

A rotary compressor may include a case, a cylinder, a roller, a vane, a main bearing and a sub bearing, and a discharge passage defined in the main bearing or the sub bearing to discharge refrigerant compressed in a compression space. The discharge passage may include at least one discharge hole formed through the main bearing or the sub bearing, and at least one discharge guide groove having a first end that communicates with the at least one discharge hole and a second end that extends from the at least one discharge hole toward a contact point between the cylinder and the roller and is recessed from one surface of the main bearing or the sub bearing forming the compression space. Accordingly, an amount of refrigerant remaining in the compression space even after a discharge stroke may be reduced.

A vane rotary compressor may include a cylinder provided with at least one outlet port; a plurality of bearings coupled to both sides of the cylinder in an axial direction of the cylinder to form a compression space together with the cylinder; a rotational shaft radially supported by the plurality of bearings; a roller rotatably coupled to the rotational shaft and provided with a plurality of vane slots formed in a circumferential direction, each having a first end opened to an outer circumferential surface thereof; a plurality of vanes slidably inserted into the plurality of vane slots of the roller, respectively, and protruding toward an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder to partition the compression space into a plurality of compression chambers, respectively; a discharge valve coupled to the cylinder to open and close the at least one outlet port; and at least one bypass hole formed in at least one of the plurality of bearings or formed in the cylinder to bypass a portion of refrigerant compressed in the compression chamber.
Abstract:
A rotary compressor is provided that may include a casing having an oil storage space; a cylinder; a main bearing and a sub bearing; a rotary shaft; a roller having a vane slot and a back pressure chamber; and at least one vane. An oil supply hole that communicates the back pressure chamber with the oil storage space may pass through the main bearing or the sub bearing, or through the roller. Accordingly, as high-pressure oil is supplied directly to a rear end surface of the vane, it is possible to increase efficiency of the compressor by increasing a back pressure on the vane and suppressing a delay in starting the compressor, and it is also possible to reduce collision noise and wear in the vane and the cylinder by suppressing vibration of the vane.
