Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rotary compressor including, in a sealed vessel, a electromotive element, a rotary compression element driven by a rotary shaft of this electromotive element and a cantilever bearing which rotatably supports the rotary shaft of this rotary compression element.
- a rotary compressor such as a multistage compression type rotary compressor including first and second rotary compression elements includes, in a sealed vessel, a electromotive element and the first and second rotary compression elements driven by a rotary shaft of this electromotive element.
- An electromotive element is constituted of an annular stator fixed along an inner peripheral surface which defines an upper space of the sealed vessel by welding; and a rotor inserted in the element so that a slight interval is disposed between the rotor and an inner periphery of this stator.
- This rotor is fixed to the rotary shaft passed through the center of the element in a vertical direction.
- the first and second rotary compression elements include an intermediate partition plate; upper and lower cylinders disposed on and under this intermediate partition plate; rollers which are fitted into eccentric portions disposed on the rotary shaft with a phase difference of 180 degrees to eccentrically rotate in these cylinders; vanes which abut on the rollers to define the insides of the cylinders into low pressure chamber sides and high pressure chamber sides, respectively; an upper support member and a lower support member which block an upper opening surface of the upper cylinder and a lower opening surface of the lower cylinder and which have bearings of the rotary shaft, respectively; and upper and lower discharge muffling chambers, respectively.
- Each discharge muffling chamber is connected to the high pressure chamber side in each cylinder by a discharge port.
- a discharge valve is disposed which openably blocks the discharge port (see, e.g., Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-19599 ).
- a rotation angular speed inversely proportional to a rotation inertia moment is generated in proportion to a difference between a compression torque and a torque of a motor, and a fluctuation (reaction of the rotation angular speed) of the rotation angular speed, which is inversely proportional to the rotation inertia moment, is a cause for a rotary vibration of the rotary compressor.
- the rotation angular speed of the rotor is an integral of the rotation angular speed inversely proportional to the rotation inertia moment with respect to a time. After one rotation, the rotation angular speed returns to an original rotation angular speed. Therefore, the smaller the number of the rotations of the compressor is, the longer a time required for one rotation becomes. Moreover, a fluctuation width of the rotation angular speed during one rotation increases. Therefore, there is a problem that the vibration of the compressor increases.
- a rotary compressor of a first invention has, in a sealed vessel, a electromotive element, a compression mechanism driven by this electromotive element and a cantilever bearing which rotatably supports a rotary shaft of the electromotive element, and the rotary compressor has, on the bottom of a rotor (on a compression mechanism side), a mass article which extends to a lower part of a stator and which obtains a rotation inertia moment.
- a rotary compressor of a second invention has, in a sealed vessel, a electromotive element, a compression mechanism driven by this electromotive element and a cantilever bearing which rotatably supports a rotary shaft of the electromotive element, and the rotary compressor has, on the top of a rotor (on a side opposite to the compression mechanism), a mass article which extends to a lower part of a stator and which obtains a rotation inertia moment.
- the above inventions are characterized in that the mass article disposed on the rotor is formed into a shape having an outer diameter which is equal to or smaller than an outer diameter of the rotor until a necessary insulation distance is reached from a stator coil, and after the insulation distance, the outer diameter of the shape is enlarged toward an inner wall of the sealed vessel into such as size as to cover the stator coil.
- a discharge port to discharge a compressed gas from the rotary compression element into the sealed vessel is disposed in a position corresponding to 1/2 or less of the maximum outer diameter of the mass article disposed on the rotor.
- the rotary compressor comprises, in the sealed vessel, the electromotive element, the rotary compression element driven by this electromotive element and the cantilever bearing which rotatably supports the rotary shaft of the electromotive element.
- the mass article capable of obtaining the rotation inertia moment is attached to one of an upper end face of the rotor (on the side opposite to the compression mechanism) and a lower end face of the rotor (on the compression mechanism side).
- the mass article to be attached extends toward the stator. Therefore, when a dimension of the mass article in a width direction is enlarged, a dimension of the article in a thickness direction can be decreased, and the whole compressor can be miniaturized in a height direction.
- the mass article disposed on the rotor is formed into the shape having the outer diameter which is equal to or smaller than the outer diameter of the rotor until the necessary insulation distance from the stator coil is reached. After the insulation distance, the outer diameter of the shape is enlarged toward the inner wall of the sealed vessel into such a size as to cover the stator coil. In consequence, a necessary rotation inertia moment can be obtained.
- the discharge port to discharge the compressed gas from the rotary compression element into the sealed vessel is disposed in the position corresponding to 1/2 or less of the maximum outer diameter of the mass article disposed on the rotor. In consequence, an oil in the discharged gas is separated by the mass article, and an amount of the oil to be discharged from the compressor can be decreased.
- the present invention is characterized in that a rotary compressor having a high efficiency in which a vibration increase of the compressor is suppressed even in a region having the small number of rotations is realized by attaching a rotation inertia article to a rotor. It is also possible to cope with a vibration increase and an efficiency decrease due to miniaturization of the compressor.
- a mass article disposed on the rotor is formed into a shape having an outer diameter which is equal to or smaller than an outer diameter of the rotor until a necessary insulation distance is reached from a stator coil, and after the insulation distance, the outer diameter of the shape is enlarged toward an inner wall of a sealed vessel into such a size as to cover the stator coil. In consequence, a necessary rotation inertia moment is obtained.
- a discharge port to discharge a compressed gas from a rotary compression element into a sealed vessel is disposed in a position corresponding to 1/2 or less of the maximum outer diameter of the mass article disposed on the rotor.
- an oil contained in the discharged gas is separated by the mass article, and an amount of the oil to be discharged from the compressor is decreased.
- FIG. 1 shows a vertically sectional view of a high inner pressure type rotary compressor 10 as an embodiment of a rotary compressor of the present invention.
- the rotary compressor includes first and second rotary compression elements 32, 34, and a mass article, that is, a rotation inertia article 82 attached to a rotor 24 with a rivet 73 on a compression mechanism side.
- FIG. 2 shows a vertically sectional view of the rotary compressor 10 in a second invention.
- the rotary compressor 10 of the present embodiment is the high inner pressure type rotary compressor 10 including, in a vertically cylindrical sealed vessel 12 constituted of a steel plate, an electromotive element 14 as a driving element disposed in an upper space of this sealed vessel 12; and a rotary compression mechanism portion 18 constituted of the first and second rotary compression elements 32, 34 disposed under this electromotive element 14 and driven by a rotary shaft 16 of the electromotive element 14.
- carbon dioxide is used as a refrigerant.
- the sealed vessel 12 is constituted of a vessel main body 12A having a bottom part as an oil reservoir and containing the electromotive element 14 and the rotary compression mechanism portion; and a substantially bowl shaped end cap (lid body) 12B which blocks an upper opening of this vessel main body 12A. Moreover, a circular attachment hole 12D is formed in the top of this end cap 12B, and a terminal (a wiring line is omitted) 20 for supplying a power to the electromotive element 14 is attached to this attachment hole 12D.
- the electromotive element 14 is constituted of an annular stator 22 fixed along an inner peripheral surface of an upper part of the sealed vessel 12 by welding; the rotor 24 inserted in the element so that a slight interval is disposed between the rotor and an inner periphery of the stator 22; and the rotation inertia article 82 attached to the rotor 24 with the rivet 73.
- the rotor 24 and the rotation inertia article 82 are fixed to the rotary shaft 16 extending through the center of the element in a vertical direction.
- the rotation inertia article 82 is formed into a shape having an outer diameter which is equal to or smaller than an outer diameter of the rotor until the minimum necessary insulation distance (changes with a voltage to be applied) is reached from a stator coil 28, and after the insulation distance is reached, the outer diameter of the shape is enlarged toward an inner wall of the sealed vessel 12 into such a size as to cover the stator coil 28. Since the outer diameter of the shape of the article is enlarged, it is possible to obtain a large rotation inertia moment with a small amount of a material.
- the material of the rotation inertia article 82 copper or a copper alloy is used.
- the article is formed as a cast article, a forged article or a laminated article formed by laminating plates of copper or the copper alloy.
- the stator 22 has a laminated article 26 constituted by laminating donut-shaped electromagnetic steel plates; and the stator coil 28 wound around teeth portions of this laminated article 26 by a direct winding (concentrated winding) system. Moreover, the rotor 24 is formed of a laminated article 30 constituted of electromagnetic steel plates in the same manner as in the stator 22.

- the first rotary compression element 32 and the second rotary compression element 34 include a lower cylinder 40 as a first cylinder and an upper cylinder 38 as a second cylinder which constitute the first and second rotary compression elements 32, 34; and the intermediate partition plate 36 interposed between the cylinders 38 and 40 to block an (upper) opening of the lower cylinder 40 on the side of the electromotive element 14 and a (lower) opening of the upper cylinder 38 on a side opposite to the electromotive element 14.
- the elements also include a first roller 48 and a second roller 46 which are fitted into first and second eccentric portions 42, 44 disposed on the rotary shaft 16 with a phase difference of 180 degrees in the upper and lower cylinders 38, 40 to eccentrically rotate in the cylinders 38, 40, respectively; and vanes (not shown) which abut on the rollers 46, 48 to define the insides of the cylinders 38, 40 into low-pressure chamber sides and high-pressure chamber sides, respectively.
- the elements further include a lower support member 56 as a first support member which blocks a (lower) opening of the lower cylinder 40 on the side opposite to the electromotive element 14 and which has a bearing 56A of the rotary shaft 16; and an upper support member 54 as a second support member which blocks an (upper) opening of the upper cylinder 38 on the side of the electromotive element 14 and which has a bearing 54A of the rotary shaft 16, respectively.

- the upper support member 54 and the lower support member 56 include suction passages 58, 60 which communicate with the upper and lower cylinders 38, 40 via suction ports 160, 161; and the discharge muffling chamber 62 and the intermediate pressure discharge muffling chamber 64, respectively.
- the discharge muffling chamber 62 is formed by depressing the surface of the upper support member 54 on a side opposite to the upper cylinder 38, and blocking this depressed portion with the cover 63 as described above.
- the intermediate pressure discharge muffling chamber 64 is formed by depressing the surface of the lower support member 56 on a side opposite to the lower cylinder 40, and blocking this depressed portion with the blocking plate 68 so that the chamber is defined by the blocking plate 68. That is, the discharge muffling chamber 62 is blocked with the cover 63, and the intermediate pressure discharge muffling chamber 64 is blocked with the blocking plate 68.
- the bearing 54A is erected in the center of the upper support member 54.
- the discharge muffling chamber 62 is defined by the cover 63.
- a gas discharged from a discharge port passes through the discharge muffling chamber 62, and is discharged into the sealed vessel 12 from a communication passage 65 as a donut-shaped gap between an upper portion of the upper bearing 54A and the cover 63.
- the bearing 56A is passed through the center of the lower support member 56.
- the bearing 56A substantially has a donut shape centering on the rotary shaft 16 and having a central hole through which the rotary shaft 16 passes.
- the intermediate pressure discharge muffling chamber 64 is disposed in the outer periphery of the bearing 56A.
- the blocking plate 68 is formed of a donut-shaped circular steel plate, and fixed to the lower support member 56 from below with bolts 80 attached to four portions of a peripheral part of the plate, and the plate blocks an opening in the bottom of the intermediate pressure discharge muffling chamber 64 which communicates with the lower cylinder 40 of the first rotary compression element 32 by a discharge port (not shown).

- the second rotary compression element 34 integrated with the upper bolts 78 is inserted along the rotary shaft 16 from an upper end.
- the intermediate partition plate 36 is assembled with the lower cylinder 40, inserted along the rotary shaft 16 from a lower end, and aligned with the upper cylinder 38 already attached.
- Two upper bolts (not shown) to be engaged with the lower cylinder 40 are inserted from the cover 63 side (from above) in the axial center direction (downwards) to fix the intermediate partition plate, the lower cylinder and the upper cylinder.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a rotary compressor including, in a sealed vessel, a electromotive element, a rotary compression element driven by a rotary shaft of this electromotive element and a cantilever bearing which rotatably supports the rotary shaft of this rotary compression element.
- Heretofore, a rotary compressor such as a multistage compression type rotary compressor including first and second rotary compression elements includes, in a sealed vessel, a electromotive element and the first and second rotary compression elements driven by a rotary shaft of this electromotive element.
- An electromotive element is constituted of an annular stator fixed along an inner peripheral surface which defines an upper space of the sealed vessel by welding; and a rotor inserted in the element so that a slight interval is disposed between the rotor and an inner periphery of this stator. This rotor is fixed to the rotary shaft passed through the center of the element in a vertical direction.
- Moreover, the first and second rotary compression elements include an intermediate partition plate; upper and lower cylinders disposed on and under this intermediate partition plate; rollers which are fitted into eccentric portions disposed on the rotary shaft with a phase difference of 180 degrees to eccentrically rotate in these cylinders; vanes which abut on the rollers to define the insides of the cylinders into low pressure chamber sides and high pressure chamber sides, respectively; an upper support member and a lower support member which block an upper opening surface of the upper cylinder and a lower opening surface of the lower cylinder and which have bearings of the rotary shaft, respectively; and upper and lower discharge muffling chambers, respectively. Each discharge muffling chamber is connected to the high pressure chamber side in each cylinder by a discharge port. In each discharge muffling chamber, a discharge valve is disposed which openably blocks the discharge port (see, e.g.,
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-19599 - In the rotor of the conventional rotary compressor, a rotation angular speed inversely proportional to a rotation inertia moment is generated in proportion to a difference between a compression torque and a torque of a motor, and a fluctuation (reaction of the rotation angular speed) of the rotation angular speed, which is inversely proportional to the rotation inertia moment, is a cause for a rotary vibration of the rotary compressor. The rotation angular speed of the rotor is an integral of the rotation angular speed inversely proportional to the rotation inertia moment with respect to a time. After one rotation, the rotation angular speed returns to an original rotation angular speed. Therefore, the smaller the number of the rotations of the compressor is, the longer a time required for one rotation becomes. Moreover, a fluctuation width of the rotation angular speed during one rotation increases. Therefore, there is a problem that the vibration of the compressor increases.
- Furthermore, when there is a large fluctuation width of the rotation angular speed during one rotation, a ratio increases at which the compressor is operated in a rotation angular speed range having a small efficiency, and an efficiency of the motor decreases. Therefore, the smaller the number of the rotations of the motor is, the more the efficiency of the compressor decreases. When the compressor or the motor is miniaturized, the rotation inertia moment decreases, and the increase of the compressor vibration and the decrease of the efficiency easily appear.
- A rotary compressor of a first invention has, in a sealed vessel, a electromotive element, a compression mechanism driven by this electromotive element and a cantilever bearing which rotatably supports a rotary shaft of the electromotive element, and the rotary compressor has, on the bottom of a rotor (on a compression mechanism side), a mass article which extends to a lower part of a stator and which obtains a rotation inertia moment.
- Moreover, a rotary compressor of a second invention has, in a sealed vessel, a electromotive element, a compression mechanism driven by this electromotive element and a cantilever bearing which rotatably supports a rotary shaft of the electromotive element, and the rotary compressor has, on the top of a rotor (on a side opposite to the compression mechanism), a mass article which extends to a lower part of a stator and which obtains a rotation inertia moment.
- Furthermore, in a rotary compressor of a third invention, the above inventions are characterized in that the mass article disposed on the rotor is formed into a shape having an outer diameter which is equal to or smaller than an outer diameter of the rotor until a necessary insulation distance is reached from a stator coil, and after the insulation distance, the outer diameter of the shape is enlarged toward an inner wall of the sealed vessel into such as size as to cover the stator coil.
- In addition, in a rotary compressor of a fourth invention, the above inventions are characterized in that a discharge port to discharge a compressed gas from the rotary compression element into the sealed vessel is disposed in a position corresponding to 1/2 or less of the maximum outer diameter of the mass article disposed on the rotor.
- According to the first or second invention, the rotary compressor comprises, in the sealed vessel, the electromotive element, the rotary compression element driven by this electromotive element and the cantilever bearing which rotatably supports the rotary shaft of the electromotive element. The mass article capable of obtaining the rotation inertia moment is attached to one of an upper end face of the rotor (on the side opposite to the compression mechanism) and a lower end face of the rotor (on the compression mechanism side). In consequence, it is possible to provide the compressor having a high efficiency in which a vibration increase of the compressor is suppressed even during an operation having the small number of rotations of the compressor. Furthermore, the mass article to be attached extends toward the stator. Therefore, when a dimension of the mass article in a width direction is enlarged, a dimension of the article in a thickness direction can be decreased, and the whole compressor can be miniaturized in a height direction.
- Moreover, in addition to the above inventions, according to the third invention, the mass article disposed on the rotor is formed into the shape having the outer diameter which is equal to or smaller than the outer diameter of the rotor until the necessary insulation distance from the stator coil is reached. After the insulation distance, the outer diameter of the shape is enlarged toward the inner wall of the sealed vessel into such a size as to cover the stator coil. In consequence, a necessary rotation inertia moment can be obtained.
- Furthermore, in addition to the above inventions, according to the fourth invention, the discharge port to discharge the compressed gas from the rotary compression element into the sealed vessel is disposed in the position corresponding to 1/2 or less of the maximum outer diameter of the mass article disposed on the rotor. In consequence, an oil in the discharged gas is separated by the mass article, and an amount of the oil to be discharged from the compressor can be decreased.

- The present invention is characterized in that a rotary compressor having a high efficiency in which a vibration increase of the compressor is suppressed even in a region having the small number of rotations is realized by attaching a rotation inertia article to a rotor. It is also possible to cope with a vibration increase and an efficiency decrease due to miniaturization of the compressor. A mass article disposed on the rotor is formed into a shape having an outer diameter which is equal to or smaller than an outer diameter of the rotor until a necessary insulation distance is reached from a stator coil, and after the insulation distance, the outer diameter of the shape is enlarged toward an inner wall of a sealed vessel into such a size as to cover the stator coil. In consequence, a necessary rotation inertia moment is obtained. Moreover, a discharge port to discharge a compressed gas from a rotary compression element into a sealed vessel is disposed in a position corresponding to 1/2 or less of the maximum outer diameter of the mass article disposed on the rotor. In consequence, an oil contained in the discharged gas is separated by the mass article, and an amount of the oil to be discharged from the compressor is decreased.
- Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a vertically sectional view of a high inner pressure type
rotary compressor 10 as an embodiment of a rotary compressor of the present invention. The rotary compressor includes first and secondrotary compression elements rotation inertia article 82 attached to arotor 24 with arivet 73 on a compression mechanism side. FIG. 2 shows a vertically sectional view of therotary compressor 10 in a second invention. - In FIG. 1, the
rotary compressor 10 of the present embodiment is the high inner pressure typerotary compressor 10 including, in a vertically cylindricalsealed vessel 12 constituted of a steel plate, anelectromotive element 14 as a driving element disposed in an upper space of this sealedvessel 12; and a rotarycompression mechanism portion 18 constituted of the first and secondrotary compression elements electromotive element 14 and driven by arotary shaft 16 of theelectromotive element 14. It is to be noted that in therotary compressor 10 of the present embodiment, carbon dioxide is used as a refrigerant. - The sealed
vessel 12 is constituted of a vesselmain body 12A having a bottom part as an oil reservoir and containing theelectromotive element 14 and the rotary compression mechanism portion; and a substantially bowl shaped end cap (lid body) 12B which blocks an upper opening of this vesselmain body 12A. Moreover, acircular attachment hole 12D is formed in the top of thisend cap 12B, and a terminal (a wiring line is omitted) 20 for supplying a power to theelectromotive element 14 is attached to thisattachment hole 12D. - The
electromotive element 14 is constituted of anannular stator 22 fixed along an inner peripheral surface of an upper part of thesealed vessel 12 by welding; therotor 24 inserted in the element so that a slight interval is disposed between the rotor and an inner periphery of thestator 22; and therotation inertia article 82 attached to therotor 24 with therivet 73. Therotor 24 and therotation inertia article 82 are fixed to therotary shaft 16 extending through the center of the element in a vertical direction. - Here, the
rotation inertia article 82 is formed into a shape having an outer diameter which is equal to or smaller than an outer diameter of the rotor until the minimum necessary insulation distance (changes with a voltage to be applied) is reached from astator coil 28, and after the insulation distance is reached, the outer diameter of the shape is enlarged toward an inner wall of the sealedvessel 12 into such a size as to cover thestator coil 28. Since the outer diameter of the shape of the article is enlarged, it is possible to obtain a large rotation inertia moment with a small amount of a material. - Moreover, in this case, as the material of the
rotation inertia article 82, copper or a copper alloy is used. The article is formed as a cast article, a forged article or a laminated article formed by laminating plates of copper or the copper alloy. - The
stator 22 has a laminatedarticle 26 constituted by laminating donut-shaped electromagnetic steel plates; and thestator coil 28 wound around teeth portions of this laminatedarticle 26 by a direct winding (concentrated winding) system. Moreover, therotor 24 is formed of a laminatedarticle 30 constituted of electromagnetic steel plates in the same manner as in thestator 22. - An
intermediate partition plate 36 is sandwiched as an intermediate partition member between the firstrotary compression element 32 and the secondrotary compression element 34, the secondrotary compression element 34 as a second stage is disposed on the side of theelectromotive element 14 in the sealedvessel 12, and the firstrotary compression element 32 as a first stage is disposed on a side opposite to theelectromotive element 14. That is, the firstrotary compression element 32 and the secondrotary compression element 34 include alower cylinder 40 as a first cylinder and anupper cylinder 38 as a second cylinder which constitute the first and secondrotary compression elements intermediate partition plate 36 interposed between thecylinders lower cylinder 40 on the side of theelectromotive element 14 and a (lower) opening of theupper cylinder 38 on a side opposite to theelectromotive element 14. The elements also include afirst roller 48 and asecond roller 46 which are fitted into first and secondeccentric portions rotary shaft 16 with a phase difference of 180 degrees in the upper andlower cylinders cylinders rollers cylinders lower support member 56 as a first support member which blocks a (lower) opening of thelower cylinder 40 on the side opposite to theelectromotive element 14 and which has a bearing 56A of therotary shaft 16; and anupper support member 54 as a second support member which blocks an (upper) opening of theupper cylinder 38 on the side of theelectromotive element 14 and which has abearing 54A of therotary shaft 16, respectively. On outer sides of thebearings lower support members cover 63 attached to theupper support member 54 to define adischarge muffling chamber 62; and a blockingplate 68 to define an intermediate pressuredischarge muffling chamber 64 in thelower support member 56, respectively. - The
upper support member 54 and thelower support member 56 includesuction passages lower cylinders suction ports discharge muffling chamber 62 and the intermediate pressuredischarge muffling chamber 64, respectively. Thedischarge muffling chamber 62 is formed by depressing the surface of theupper support member 54 on a side opposite to theupper cylinder 38, and blocking this depressed portion with thecover 63 as described above. The intermediate pressuredischarge muffling chamber 64 is formed by depressing the surface of thelower support member 56 on a side opposite to thelower cylinder 40, and blocking this depressed portion with the blockingplate 68 so that the chamber is defined by the blockingplate 68. That is, thedischarge muffling chamber 62 is blocked with thecover 63, and the intermediate pressuredischarge muffling chamber 64 is blocked with the blockingplate 68. - In this case, the bearing 54A is erected in the center of the
upper support member 54. Around the outer periphery of the bearing 54A, thedischarge muffling chamber 62 is defined by thecover 63. A gas discharged from a discharge port (not shown) passes through thedischarge muffling chamber 62, and is discharged into the sealedvessel 12 from acommunication passage 65 as a donut-shaped gap between an upper portion of theupper bearing 54A and thecover 63. - Moreover, the bearing 56A is passed through the center of the
lower support member 56. The bearing 56A substantially has a donut shape centering on therotary shaft 16 and having a central hole through which therotary shaft 16 passes. In the outer periphery of the bearing 56A, the intermediate pressuredischarge muffling chamber 64 is disposed. On the other hand, the blockingplate 68 is formed of a donut-shaped circular steel plate, and fixed to thelower support member 56 from below withbolts 80 attached to four portions of a peripheral part of the plate, and the plate blocks an opening in the bottom of the intermediate pressuredischarge muffling chamber 64 which communicates with thelower cylinder 40 of the firstrotary compression element 32 by a discharge port (not shown). Thebolts 80 are bolts for assembling the first and secondrotary compression elements upper cylinder 38. That is, the upper cylinder is provided with screw grooves to be engaged with screw heads formed on distant end portions of thebolts 80. - Here, there will be described a procedure to assemble the rotary
compression mechanism portion 18 constituted of the first and secondrotary compression elements cover 63, theupper support member 54 and theupper cylinder 38 are positioned, and twoupper bolts upper cylinder 38 are inserted from acover 63 side (from above) in an axial center direction (downwards) to integrate the cover, the upper support member and the upper cylinder. In consequence, the secondrotary compression element 34 is assembled. - Next, the second
rotary compression element 34 integrated with theupper bolts 78 is inserted along therotary shaft 16 from an upper end. Next, theintermediate partition plate 36 is assembled with thelower cylinder 40, inserted along therotary shaft 16 from a lower end, and aligned with theupper cylinder 38 already attached. Two upper bolts (not shown) to be engaged with thelower cylinder 40 are inserted from thecover 63 side (from above) in the axial center direction (downwards) to fix the intermediate partition plate, the lower cylinder and the upper cylinder. - Moreover, after the
lower support member 56 is inserted along therotary shaft 16 from below, the blockingplate 68 is similarly inserted along therotary shaft 16 from the lower end to close the depressed portion of thelower support member 56. The fourlower bolts 80 are inserted from a blockingplate 68 side (from below) in the axial center direction (upwards), and the distant end portions of the bolts are engaged with the screw grooves formed in theupper cylinder 38, respectively, to assemble the first and secondrotary compression elements rotary shaft 16 is provided with the first and secondeccentric portions rotary shaft 16 in an order other than the above order. Therefore, the blockingplate 68 is finally attached to therotary shaft 16. - Thus, the second
rotary compression element 34, theintermediate partition plate 36, thelower cylinder 40, thelower support member 56 and the blockingplate 68 are successively attached to therotary shaft 16, and the fourbolts 80 are inserted from below the blockingplate 68 finally attached to engage with theupper cylinder 38. In consequence, the first and secondrotary compression elements rotary shaft 16. - Moreover, in this case, as the refrigerant, carbon dioxide (CO2) described above which is a natural refrigerant eco-friendly to global environments is used in consideration of combustibility, toxicity and the like, and as a lubricant, an existing oil is used such as a mineral oil, an alkyl benzene oil, an ether oil, an ester oil or a polyalkyl glycol (PAG) oil.
- Furthermore, on the side surface of the vessel
main body 12A of the sealedvessel 12,sleeves refrigerant discharge tube 96 and aservice tube 97 are fixed by welding to positions corresponding,to those of thesuction passages upper support member 54 and thelower support member 56, thedischarge muffling chamber 64 and the upper part of theelectromotive element 14, respectively. Thesleeve 140 is disposed vertically adjacent to thesleeve 141, and thesleeve 142 is substantially disposed along a diagonal line of thesleeve 141. - One end of a
refrigerant introducing tube 92 for introducing a refrigerant gas into theupper cylinder 38 is inserted into thesleeve 140, and the one end of therefrigerant introducing tube 92 is connected to thesuction passage 58 of theupper cylinder 38. Thisrefrigerant introducing tube 92 passes above the sealedvessel 12 to reach thesleeve 142, and the other end of the tube is inserted into thesleeve 142 and connected to the intermediate pressuredischarge muffling chamber 64. - Moreover, one end of a
refrigerant introducing tube 94 for introducing the refrigerant gas into thelower cylinder 40 is inserted into thesleeve 141, and the one end of this refrigerant introducing tube is connected to thesuction passage 60 of thelower cylinder 40. Therefrigerant discharge tube 96 is fixed to the vesselmain body 12A by welding, and one end of thisrefrigerant discharge tube 96 is inserted into the sealedvessel 12. - Next, there will be described an operation of the
rotary compressor 10 constituted as described above. When a power is supplied to thestator coil 28 of theelectromotive element 14 via the terminal 20 and a wiring line (not shown), theelectromotive element 14 is started to rotate therotor 24. When this rotor rotates, the first andsecond rollers eccentric portions rotary shaft 16 eccentrically rotate in the upper andlower cylinders - In consequence, a refrigerant gas having a low pressure (a first stage suction pressure is about 4 MPaG) is passed through the
refrigerant introducing tube 94 and thesuction passage 60 formed in thelower support member 56, sucked from thesuction port 161 into thelower cylinder 40 on a low pressure chamber side, and compressed by operations of thefirst roller 48 and a vane (not shown) to obtain an intermediate pressure. The refrigerant gas having the intermediate pressure is discharged from a high pressure chamber side of thelower cylinder 40 into the intermediate pressuredischarge muffling chamber 64 formed in thelower support member 56 via the discharge port (not shown). - Moreover, the intermediate pressure refrigerant gas discharged into the intermediate pressure
discharge muffling chamber 64 passes through therefrigerant introducing tube 92 inserted into the intermediate pressuredischarge muffling chamber 64, and is sucked from thesuction port 160 into theupper cylinder 38 on a low pressure chamber side via thesuction passage 58 formed in theupper support member 54. - The sucked refrigerant gas having the intermediate pressure is compressed in a second stage by operations of the
roller 46 and a vane (not shown) to constitute a refrigerant gas having a high temperature and a high pressure (about 12 MPaG). Moreover, the refrigerant gas having the high temperature and the high pressure is discharged from the high pressure chamber side of theupper cylinder 38 into thedischarge muffling chamber 62 formed in theupper support member 54 via a discharge port (not shown). - Furthermore, after the refrigerant discharged into the
discharge muffling chamber 62 is discharged from thecommunication passage 65 disposed in thecover 63 into the sealedvessel 12, the refrigerant passes through a gap formed in theelectromotive element 14 to move to the upper part of the sealedvessel 12, and is discharged from therotary compressor 10 through therefrigerant discharge tube 96 connected to the upper part of the sealedvessel 12. - Since the
rotation inertia article 82 is attached to therotor 24 in this manner, a necessary rotation inertia moment can be obtained. In consequence, it is possible to obtain the having a high efficiency in which a rotary vibration can be suppressed even in a region where the compressor has the small number of rotations. Since therotation inertia article 82 is made of copper, the copper alloy or the like, it is possible to obtain the rotation inertia moment necessary for the decrease of the vibration with the inexpensive material without enlarging the shape of therotor 24 constituted of an expensive material. - Next, FIGS. 3, 4 show another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 shows a vertically sectional view of a rotary compressor in the present invention. FIG. 4 is an enlarged view showing a positional relation between a rotation inertia article and
discharge ports 65 which discharge a gas to be discharged in the present invention. It is to be noted that the same components as those of the above embodiment are denoted with the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. As described above in the first embodiment, in arotary compressor 10, arotation inertia article 84 is formed into such an enlarged shape as to cover thewhole stator coil 28. - Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the
discharge ports 65 which discharge the gas from a rotarycompression mechanism portion 18 into a sealedvessel 12 are disposed in positions corresponding to 1/2 or less of the maximum outer diameter of therotation inertia article 84. - Furthermore, an oil-containing refrigerant gas discharged from the
discharge ports 65 abuts on therotation inertia article 84, and is separated into an oil and a refrigerant by a rotary force of the rotation inertia article. The separated oil returns to an oil reservoir of the compressor, and the separated gas passes through a gap made between an outer periphery of anelectromotive element 14 and an inner periphery of the sealedvessel 12 to move into the upper part of the sealedvessel 12. The gas is discharged from therotary compressor 10 through arefrigerant discharge tube 96 connected to the upper part of the sealedvessel 12. - Since the
discharge ports 65 are disposed in the positions corresponding to 1/2 or less of the maximum outer diameter of therotation inertia article 84, an oil separating capability obtained by the rotation of the rotation inertia article can effectively be used, an amount of the oil to be discharged can be decreased, and the oil can stably be supplied. - It is to be noted that in the present embodiments, as the rotary compressor, the high inner pressure
type rotary compressor 10 has been described which includes the first and secondrotary compression elements type rotary compressor 10, and may be applied to an intermediate inner pressure type rotary compressor in which a refrigerant compressed by a first rotary compression element is discharged into a sealed vessel and then compressed by a second rotary compression element. - Moreover, it is assumed in the embodiments that the second
rotary compression element 34 disposed on the side of theelectromotive element 14 is a second stage, the firstrotary compression element 32 disposed on the side opposite to theelectromotive element 14 is a first stage, and the refrigerant compressed by the firstrotary compression element 32 is compressed by the secondrotary compression element 34. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and the refrigerant compressed by the second rotary compression element may be compressed by the first rotary compression element. - Furthermore, when a displacement volume of the first compression mechanism is different from that of the second compression mechanism in the multistage compressor, a weight balance of the
rotation inertia article 84 may be changed in accordance with the displacement volume of each compression mechanism to achieve the whole balance. - In addition, in the present embodiments, it has been described that the rotary shaft is of a vertically disposed type, but needless to say, the present invention may be applied to a rotary compressor having a rotary shaft of a horizontally disposed type. It has been described carbon dioxide is used as the refrigerant of the rotary compressor, but another refrigerant may be used.
