Abstract

A compressor comprises a casing, a bundle which is housed inside the casing, and an inner roller which is provided at a front of the bundle in the inserting direction and rolls on an inner circumferential surface of the casing, a sealing surface protruded from the inner circumferential surface toward an inner circumferential side of the casing in a radial direction, a recess which is provided on the inner circumferential surface and in which the inner roller is settled when the bundle is housed inside the casing, a sealing member provided on an outer circumferential surface of the bundle and abutting on the sealing surface of the casing when the bundle is housed inside the casing. An extension part extending the sealing surface to a front side thereof in the insertion direction of the bundle is provided in the inner circumferential surface of the casing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A compressor comprising:
a casing which has a cylindrical shape with bottom having an opening on a peripheral wall of the casing;
a bundle which is housed inside the casing by inserting the bundle from an axial direction; and
an inner roller which is provided at a front part of the bundle in the inserting direction and which is configured to roll on an inner circumferential surface of the casing in the axial direction,
wherein the casing comprises:
a sealing surface formed so as to protrude from the inner circumferential surface toward an inner circumferential side of the casing in a radial direction in the vicinity of a front edge of the opening in the insertion direction of the bundle, and
a recess which is provided on the inner circumferential surface and in which the inner roller is settled in a state in which the bundle is housed inside the casing,
wherein the bundle comprises:
a sealing member which is provided on an outer circumferential surface of the bundle and abuts the sealing surface of the casing in the state in which the bundle is housed inside the casing,
wherein an extension part extending the sealing surface to a front side of the sealing surface in the insertion direction of the bundle is provided in the inner circumferential surface of the casing, and
wherein when:
“b” is defined as a distance in the axial direction from a bottom part of the casing to the opening;
“e” is defined as a distance in the axial direction from the front surface of the bundle to the rear end part of the internal roller in the insertion direction; and
“d” is defined as a distance in the axial direction from a rotation center of the inner roller to the seal member,
a distance “c”, which is defined as a distance in the axial direction from a front-side edge in the insertion direction of the extending part to the opening, is set to satisfy the relation of “b”-“e”>“c”>“d”.

2. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein
when “a” is defined as the distance in the axial direction from the bottom part of the casing to a sealing planning point of the sealing surface and
“g” is defined as the distance from the front surface of the bundle to the rotation center of the inner roller,
the relation of “b”>“c”+“e”>“a” and “a”>“d”+“g” are satisfied.
