Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A rotary compressor includes a sealed longitudinal compressor housing which is provided with a discharge portion of a refrigerant at an upper portion thereof, is provided with an inlet portion of a refrigerant at a lower portion thereof, and in which lubricant oil is stored; a compressing unit which is disposed in the compressor housing, compresses a refrigerant sucked from the inlet portion and discharges the refrigerant from the discharge portion; a motor which is disposed in the compressor housing and drives the compressing unit via a rotation shaft; and an accumulator which is attached to a side portion of the compressor housing and is connected to the inlet portion of the refrigerant. When an inner diameter of a cylinder constituting the compressing unit is referred to as Dc, a height of the cylinder is referred to as Hc, and an eccentric amount of an eccentric portion of the rotation shaft is referred to as e, Dc, Hc, and e are set so that a value obtained by an expression (e+Hc)·(Dc−e) 1/3 /(e·Hc) 2/3 is less than 4.1.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A rotary compressor, comprising: a sealed longitudinal compressor housing which is provided with a discharge portion of a refrigerant at an upper portion thereof, is provided with an inlet portion of the refrigerant at a lower portion thereof, and in which lubricant oil is stored; a compressing unit which is disposed in the compressor housing, compresses the refrigerant sucked from the inlet portion and discharges the refrigerant from the discharge portion; a motor which is disposed in the compressor housing and drives the compressing unit; a rotation shaft which is rotated by the motor; and an accumulator which is attached to a side portion of the compressor housing and is connected to the inlet portion of the refrigerant, wherein the rotation shaft includes an eccentric portion in which a piston of the compressing unit is fitted, R32 is used as the refrigerant, when an inner diameter of a cylinder constituting the compressing unit is referred to as Dc [mm], a height of the cylinder is referred to as He [mm], and an eccentric amount of the eccentric portion of the rotation shaft is referred to as Dc [mm], He [mm], and e [mm] are set so that a value obtained by an expression (e+Hc)−(Dc−e) 1/3 /(e−Hc) 2/3 is less than 4.1, and when a cylinder chamber capacity of the cylinder is referred to as V [cc/rev] and an inner diameter of an inlet hole of the cylinder is referred to as Dk [mm], V [cc/rev] and Dk [mm] are set so that a value [(cc/rev) 2 /mm 4 ] obtained by an expression of 70V 2 /Dk 4 is 1.5 or less. 2. The rotary compressor according to claim 1 , wherein V [cc/rev] and Dk [mm] are set so that the value [(cc/rev) 2 /mm 4 ] obtained by the expression of 70V/Dk 4 is 1.0 or more and 1.5 or less and Dk [mm] and Hc [mm] are set so that an expression (Dk+4)≤Hc≤(Dk+8) is satisfied. 3. The rotary compressor according to claim 1 , wherein when the cylinder chamber capacity of the cylinder is referred to as V [cc/rev] and an eccentric amount of an eccentric portion of the rotation shaft is referred to as e [mm] and V [cc/rev] are set so that the value obtained by an expression of e/V 1/3 is a value exceeding 0.215. 4. The rotary compressor according to claim 3 , wherein a diameter of a sub-shaft unit of the rotation shaft is further decreased than a diameter of a main shaft unit. 5. The rotary compressor according to claim 3 , wherein e [mm] and V [cc/rev] are set so that the value obtained by the expression of e/V 1/3 is less than 0.240. 6. The rotary compressor according to claim 3 , wherein when a nominal diameter of a penetrating bolt, which fastens an end plate that is a configuration component of the compressing unit to the cylinder that is a configuration component of the compressor unit, is referred to as d [mm] and a chamfer size of a screw hole, which is provided to the cylinder and into which the penetrating bolt is fastened, is referred to as M [mm], the height Hc [mm] of the cylinder is set so that a relationship of 2×(d+M)+1.0≤Hc≤2×(d+M)+2.5 is satisfied. 7. The rotary compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the lubricant oil includes an extreme pressure additive is added to the lubricant oil. 8. The rotary compressor according to claim 1 , wherein a viscosity grade of the lubricant oil is ISO VG68 or higher. 9. The rotary compressor according to claim 1 , wherein a lubricant oil for refrigerant R410A which is not compatible with R32, is used as the lubricant oil. 10. The rotary compressor according to claim 1 , wherein a mixture of a lubricant oil which is compatible with the refrigerant R32 and a lubricant oil for refrigerant R410A which is not compatible with refrigerant R 32, is used as the lubricant oil. 11. The rotary compressor according to claim 1 , wherein when a nominal diameter of a penetrating bolt, which fastens an end plate that is a configuration component of the compressing unit to the cylinder, is referred to as d [mm] and a chamfer size of a screw hole, which is provided to the cylinder and into which the penetrating bolt is fastened, is referred to as M [mm], the height He [mm] of the cylinder is set so that relationship of 2×(d+M)+1.0 Hc≤2×(d+M)+2.5 is satisfied.
