Abstract

A compressor includes a suction hole provided in a cylinder. The suction hole includes a plurality of portions being different in diameter and disposed from an outer circumferential side toward an inner circumferential side of the cylinder. The plurality of portions are reduced more in diameter toward the inner circumferential side of the cylinder. A central axis of an outer circumferential side suction hole of the plurality of portions intersects a central axis of the cylinder. A central axis of an inner circumferential side suction hole of the plurality of portions is parallel to the central axis of an outermost circumferential side portion and decentered from the central axis in an opposite direction to a direction of a spring hole.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hermetic compressor comprising:
a cylinder housed in a sealed container;
a rolling piston eccentrically rotating along an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder;
a vane dividing an interior of the cylinder into a suction chamber and a compression chamber;
a vane spring biasing the vane toward the rolling piston;
a spring hole provided in the cylinder and housing the vane spring; and
a suction hole provided in the cylinder and suctioning fluid into the suction chamber from outside, wherein
the suction hole includes at least two holes, which are different in diameter,
the at least two holes include a first hole and a second hole, and the first hole is located outward of the second hole in the direction of an outer circumferential surface of the hermetic compressor,
a diameter of the second hole is less than a diameter of the first hole,
a central axis of the first hole intersects a central axis of the cylinder,
a central axis of the second hole is parallel to the central axis of the first hole and decentered from the central axis of the first hole in a direction that is opposite to a direction in which the spring hole is located from the central axis of the first hole.

2. The hermetic compressor of claim 1 , wherein a decentering amount of the central axis of the second hole is equal to or less than a half of a difference between a diameter of the first hole and a diameter of the second hole.

3. The hermetic compressor of claim 1 , wherein the first hole is located at an outermost circumferential side of the cylinder, and the second hole is located at an innermost circumferential side of the compressor, and a decentering amount of the central axis of the second hole is equal to or less than a half of a difference between a diameter of the first hole and a diameter of the second hole.

4. A hermetic compressor comprising:
a cylinder housed in a sealed container;
a rolling piston eccentrically rotating along an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder;
a vane dividing an interior of the cylinder into a suction chamber and a compression chamber;
a vane spring biasing the vane toward the rolling piston;
a spring hole provided in the cylinder and housing the vane spring; and
a suction hole provided in the cylinder and suctioning fluid into the suction chamber from outside, wherein
the suction hole includes at least two holes comprising at least a first hole and a second hole,
the first hole is located at an outer circumferential side of the cylinder, and the second hole is located towards an inner circumferential side of the cylinder,
the second hole is smaller than the first hole,
a first hole axis extends through the center of the first hole and intersects a central axis of the cylinder,
a second hole axis extends through the center of the second hole, and
the second hole axis is parallel to the first hole axis and decentered from the first hole axis in an opposite direction to a direction of the spring hole.

5. The hermetic compressor of claim 4 , wherein a decentering amount of the second hole axis is equal to or less than a half of a difference between a diameter of the first hole and a diameter of the second hole.

6. The hermetic compressor of claim 4 , wherein a decentering amount of the second hole axis from the first hole axis is equal to or less than half of a difference between a diameter of the second hole and a diameter of the first hole.
