20090097999 | Suction structure in double-headed piston type compressor - A suction structure is provided for allowing refrigerant into first and second compression chambers from a suction pressure region through first and second rotary valves and first and second communication passages in a double-headed piston type compressor. The first and the second rotary valves respectively have first and second introduction passages. The distance to the first communication passage from the suction pressure region through the first introduction passage is greater than the distance to the second communication passage from the suction pressure region through the second introduction passage. The first communication passage with a circular cross-section in the cylinder block connects the first compression chamber to the first introduction passage. The second communication passage with a circular cross-section in the cylinder block connects the second compression chamber to the second introduction passage. The diameter of the first communication passage is greater than the diameter of the second communication passage. | 04-16-2009 |

20090297369 | DOUBLE-HEADED PISTON TYPE COMPRESSOR - A double-headed piston type compressor includes front and rear housings, a cylinder block defining therein a crank chamber and a plurality of cylinder bores and having a shaft hole therethrough, a double-headed piston accommodated in the cylinder bores for reciprocating therein, a rotary shaft rotatably supported by the shaft hole, compression chambers defined by the cylinder bores, a suction chamber defined by the front housing and an introduction passage having a rotary valve for introducing refrigerant from the suction chamber into the compression chambers. The introduction passage includes a communication passage formed in the cylinder block for connecting the suction chamber to the shaft hole, suction passages connecting the shaft hole and the compression chambers and a recessed passage formed in the outer circumferential surface of the rotary shaft for connecting intermittently between the communication passage and the respective suction passages in accordance with the rotation of the rotary shaft. | 12-03-2009 |
20100003146 | PISTON TYPE COMPRESSOR - A piston type compressor has a cylinder block, a cylinder bore formed in the cylinder block, a rotary shaft, a piston and a compression chamber formed in the cylinder bore. The piston is received in the cylinder bore and reciprocates in accordance with the rotation of the rotary shaft. The compressor further has a main suction chamber communicable with the compression chamber, a discharge chamber formed annularly so as to surround the main suction chamber, a subsidiary suction chamber formed so as to surround the discharge chamber, partitions formed in the discharge chamber so as to protrude into the discharge chamber and a suction passage formed in each partition so as to interconnect the subsidiary suction chamber and the main suction chamber. | 01-07-2010 |
20130034461 | COMPRESSOR - A compressor has auxiliary and main oil reservoir chambers that retain lubricant oil that is separated from refrigerant in an oil separation chamber. A part of the auxiliary oil reservoir chamber is defined by a peripheral wall of the oil separation chamber. An introducing passage for introducing lubricant oil in the oil separation chamber to the auxiliary oil reservoir chamber is formed in the peripheral wall. The inlet of the introducing passage opens to the oil separation chamber on the inner surface of the peripheral wall. The outlet of the introducing passage opens to the auxiliary oil reservoir chamber. The main oil reservoir chamber is located below the auxiliary oil reservoir chamber in the direction of gravity. A drain port for draining lubricant oil in the auxiliary oil reservoir chamber to the main oil reservoir chamber is formed in a bottom wall of the auxiliary oil reservoir chamber. | 02-07-2013 |
20130251548 | COMPRESSOR - A compressor includes a housing, compression unit, discharge chamber, outlet, and oil separation structure. The oil separation structure, which is arranged between the discharge chamber and the outlet, includes an oil reservoir, oil separation compartment, intake passage, exhaust passage, and supply passage. The oil separation compartment is located upward from the oil reservoir. The intake passage, which extends upward from the oil separation compartment, draws refrigerant gas into the oil separation compartment from the discharge chamber to separate lubrication oil from the refrigerant gas. The exhaust passage extends upward from the oil separation compartment and discharges the refrigerant gas in the oil separation compartment out of the housing through the outlet. The supply passage extends upward from the oil separation compartment and has a larger cross-sectional area than the intake passage. The supply passage supplies the oil reservoir with lubrication oil from the oil separation compartment. | 09-26-2013 |
20130259727 | SCROLL TYPE COMPRESSOR - A scroll type compressor includes a housing, fixed and orbiting scroll members, a rotary shaft, a drive bushing, a plain bearing, a boss, a drive mechanism accommodation space and a compression chamber. The rotary shaft includes an eccentric pin on which the drive bushing is rotatably fitted. The boss is formed in the orbiting scroll member. The drive bushing is slidably inserted in the boss. In the drive mechanism accommodation space formed by the housing, the eccentric pin, the drive bushing and the bearing are disposed and upstream and downstream spaces are defined by the bearing. The compression chamber is formed by the fixed and the orbiting scroll members. A clearance is formed facing the sliding surface of the bearing. A communication passage is formed in the orbiting scroll member for communication between the compression chamber and the upstream space or the clearance and is opened toward the bearing. | 10-03-2013 |
20130259728 | SCROLL COMPRESSOR - A scroll compressor includes an orbiting scroll member, a drive mechanism accommodation space, a rotary shaft, a drive bushing, an upstream space, a downstream space, a first communication passage and a second communication passage. The upstream space and the downstream space are formed in the drive mechanism accommodation space by a plain bearing, the drive bushing and an eccentric pin of the rotary shaft. The second communication passage passes through at least the drive bushing and allows the upstream space and the downstream space to communicate with each other. A control valve is disposed in the second communication passage. Centrifugal force of the control valve developed when the rotary shaft is rotated at a predetermined speed or higher causes the control valve to move in a direction in which the second communication passage is opened, thereby to allow the upstream space and the downstream space to communicate with each other. | 10-03-2013 |
