RD-13, 744 DUAL FI.OW SINGLE CELI. ROl!AR~

This application is related to copending application Serial No. ~RD-20,032), assigned to the same assignee as the present invention.

Back~round of the Invention The present invention relates to a two stage compressor and more specifically to a rotary compressor for pumping two separate refrigerant flows to a single higher pressure.
Some refrigerant cycles such as the one shown in copending application Serial No. 07/351,988 entitled "Refrigerator Systems With Dual Evaporators for Household Refrigerators" two separate compressors or a single two stage compressor.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a rotary compressor capable of pumping two separate refrigerant flows at different pressures through a single cavity at different to a single higher pressure.
Summary of th~ Inv~ntlon In one aspect ~f the present invention a rotary compressor having a frame defining a cylindrical aperture and a vane slot extending radially outwardly from the cylindrical aperture is provided. The frame also defines a first inlet ; 25 port extending radially outwardly from said cylindrical aperture through the frame on one side of the vane slot. A
second inlet valve extends radially outwardly from the cylindrical aperture through the frame and is situated 2 ~ 3 0 ~ ~. ? ~
RD-19,744 substantially diametrically opposite the vane slot. A first check valve is situated in the first inlet port for permitting flow only radially inwardly. A vane is slidably mounted in the vane slot. Two journal bearing plates each defining a journal bearing extending axially therethrough, are situated on either side of the cylindrical aperture defining a cylindrical chamber. The second journal bearing plate further defines an outlet port extending axially through the journal plate. The outlet port is situated on the other side of the vane from the first inlet port. A
second check valve is situated in the outlet port for permitting flow only from the cylindrical chamber. A shaft extends through the cylindrical chamber and is rotatably mounted in the journal bearings of the cover and journal bearing plates. The portion of the shaft situated in the cylindrical chamber has an eccentrically extending circular lobe. A piston surrounds the circular lobe and contacts a portion of the cylindrical chamber periphery and the two journal bearing plates.
Brie~ De~cri~t~on of the Drawing While the specification concludes with claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the present invention, the objects and advantages can be more readily ascertained from the following description a preferred embodiment when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure 1 $s a partially cutaway view of a dual flow rotary compressor out of its hermetically sealed housing in accordance with the present invention;
Figure 2 is a section view taken along the lines II-II in Figure l; and RD-19,744 Figures 3, 4 and 5 schematically illustrate the operation of the rotary compressor showing the piston in three sequential positions.

S Referring now to the drawing wherein li~e numerals indicate like elements throughout and particularly Figures 1 and 2 thereof, a dual flow single cell rotary compressor 5 is shown which is typically situated in a hermetically sealed housing (not shown). The rota,y compressor has a frame 7 defining a cylindrical aperture 11 and a vane slot 13 extending radially outwardly from the cylindrical aperture.
A hollow shaft 15 is situated concentrically in the cylindrical aperture. The shaft is rotatably supported by a journal bearing 17 located in a journal bearing plate 21 on one side and a journal bearing plate 23 ha~ing a journal bearing 25 on the other. The frame 7, the journal bearing plate 21 and the journal bearing plate 23 together define a cylindrical chamber. The portion of the shaft situated in the cylindrical chamber has an eccentrically positioned circular lobe 27 extending therefrom. The circular lobe is surrounded by a close fitting annular member called a rolling piston 31. The rolling piston is in contact with the circular lobe and a portion of the cylindrical wall of the chamber. The piston is free to rotate about the circular lobe. A vane 33 is slidably mounted in the vane slot 13 in the frame biased towards the piston contacting the piston by a spring 3S. An electric motor rotor 37 is mounted on the portion of the shaft extending through the journal bearing plate 21. The portion of the shaft extending through the journal bearing plate is closed off by a cap 41 which has a friction fit.

~3t3j3 RD-19,794 The cylindrical chamber is in flow communication with a first inlet port 43 extending radially outwardly from the cylindrical chamber through the frame 7 situated adjacent to one side of the vane 33. A quick acting check valve which S permits gas flow into the chamber but not out is positioned in the port close to the chamber. In a preferred embodiment the check valve comprises a floating hinge check valve. A
sleeve 45 is press fit in the first inlet port with a spring 47 having one end wider than the sleeve situated in the port.
The spring extends through the sleeve toward the cylindrical chamber and secured to the center of a cover plate 51. The cover plate has a diameter larger than the sleeve but smaller than the port. The spring 47 biases the cover plate towards the polished end of the sleeve. The cover plate Sl is shown by dashed lines in the open position and indicated by reference numeral Sl.
A second inlet port 52 extends radially inwardly diametrically across from the vane. Tube 53 is in flow communication with this port. A check valve is not needed in this port.
An outlet port 55 extends from a position near the cylindrical chamber on the opposite side of the vane 33 from the first inlet port axially through the journal bearing plate 21 through a check valve. A reed check valve 57 is shown in the Figures comprising a flexible piece of metal secured to the plate. A portion of the flexible piece 59 covers the outlet port permitting flow only from the cylindrical chamber. The exterior portion of the journal plate 21 is covered by a close fitting housing 61 which serves a muffler.
The vane 33 divides the volume surrounding the piston 27 into a high pressure and a low pressure region.
The piston contacts the cylindrical chamber walls in~ a sweeping circular motion which moves in the same direction
