Abstract:
A compressor is provided that may include a cylinder including an outer cylinder portion, an inner cylinder portion, and a vane portion connected between the outer cylinder portion and the inner cylinder portion, which is fixed to a casing. A rolling piston may be slidably coupled to the vane portion to form an outer compression space and an inner compression space while making a turning movement between the outer cylinder portion and the inner cylinder portion. Through this, a weight of a rotating body may be reduced to obtain a low power loss with respect to the same cooling power and a small bearing area, thereby reducing refrigerant leakage as well as easily changing a capacity of a cylinder in an expanded manner. In addition, refrigerant may be discharged in opposite directions to each other in each compression space, thereby reducing vibration noise of the compressor.

Moreover, refrigerant may be discharged in opposite directions in each compression space, thereby reducing vibration noise of the compressor. In addition, a back pressure groove may be formed on an upper surface of a drive transmission portion of the rolling piston, thereby reducing a friction area between the rolling piston and the upper bearing, as well as reducing a friction loss between the rolling piston and the upper bearing due to oil filled into the back pressure groove.

A vane-type compressor is provided. The vane-type compressor may include a cylindrical cylinder having opposite open ends along an axial direction, an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder being eccentric from an outer circumferential surface of the cylinder, a main bearing and a sub bearing, respectively, positioned at the open ends of the cylinder, a rotor coupled to a shaft supported by the main bearing and the sub bearing and installed eccentric from the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder, and a plurality of vanes coupled to the rotor to rotate along with the rotor, the plurality of vanes dividing the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder into a plurality of spaces including a suction chamber and a compression chamber when the rotor rotates. An elastic member may be installed at a point at which a minimum gap is maintained between the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder and the rotor so that a portion of the elastic member protrudes inward of the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder. An end of a discharge dimple formed in the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder extends up to the point.

Abstract:
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.
