  • a large inner diameter ⁇ d L of the suction liner 13 As a result, a distance between the wall surface of the suction hole 12 and upper and lower end surfaces of the cylinder 5 which is adjacent to the wall surface becomes short, and low temperature suction refrigerant gas which flows through the suction hole 12 is prone to receive heat. Therefore, in the multi-cylinder rotary compressor, the heat insulating effect obtained by the configuration of the invention becomes higher.
  • the first embodiment has been described based on the case where the high pressure compressor having the hermetic container 1 filled with high pressure refrigerant gas is employed, even if a low pressure compressor having the hermetic container 1 filled with low pressure refrigerant gas is employed, heat is transferred from high temperature and high pressure refrigerant gas compressed by the compression chamber 10 to the compressing mechanism 4 and temperature of the cylinder 5 also becomes high. Therefore, although the low pressure compressor is smaller than the high pressure compressor, the heat insulating effect can be expected.
  • the suction liner 13 is of the stepped configuration having the outer diameter ⁇ D L1 and the outer diameter ⁇ D L2 , and the inner diameters can also be stepped. Therefore, the suction liner 13 can be formed into a press molded product without using cutting work and thus, costs can be reduced, but since a pressure loss is easily generated at the stepped portion of the inner diameters of the suction liner 13, it is necessary to form the suction liner 13 into a smoothly tapered shape so that the pressure loss can be minimized.
  • Fig. 9 is an enlarged sectional view showing a suction hole and its vicinity of a compressor of a second embodiment of the invention.
  • Other configurations which are not illustrated in the drawing are the same as those of the first embodiment and thus, description thereof will be omitted.
  • a step between the reduced-diameter portion 12a of the suction hole 12 and the upstream side increased-diameter portion 12b of the suction hole 12 are tapered and forming an angle ⁇ .
  • This angle ⁇ is formed by drilling the increased-diameter portion 12b of the suction hole 12. In the case of a general drill, the angle ⁇ is 118°.
  • Fig. 10 is an enlarged sectional view showing a suction hole having a different shape and its vicinity in the second embodiment of the invention. Even in the configuration shown in Fig. 10 in which the reduced-diameter portion 12a of the suction hole 12 is only tapered, the same effects can be obtained.
  • the non-contact length ⁇ L is shorter than the length L C1 of the reduced-diameter portion 12a.
  • Fig. 11 is an enlarged sectional view showing a suction hole of a compressor and its vicinity in a third embodiment of the invention.
  • Other configurations which are not illustrated in the drawing are the same as those of the first embodiment and thus, description thereof will be omitted.
  • the outer diameter ⁇ D L2 of the large-diameter portion 13b of the suction liner 13 is set slightly smaller than the inner diameter ⁇ d C2 of the increased-diameter portion 12b of the suction hole 12, and an O-ring 17 inserted in an upstream side of the suction hole 12 divides a high pressure and a low pressure from each other.
  • the O-ring 17 configures the divider.
  • the high pressure and the low pressure are divided from each other more stably.
  • rotation failure of the compressing mechanism may be caused due to wear powder and chipping but according to this embodiment, rotation failure of the compressing mechanism does not occur. Therefore, it is possible to provide a compressor having stable performance and high reliability.
  • Fig. 12 is an enlarged sectional view showing a suction hole having a different shape and its vicinity in the third embodiment of the invention. It is unnecessary that the suction liner 13 has a stepped shape having the small-diameter portion 13a and may have a straight shape as shown in Fig. 12 , and the same effect can be obtained.
  • the non-contact length ⁇ L is shorter than the length L C1 of the reduced-diameter portion 12a.
  • the configuration that the step formed between the reduced-diameter portion 12a and the increased-diameter portion 12b in the second embodiment is tapered such that the angle ⁇ is formed may be applied to the third embodiment shown in Figs. 11 and 12 .
  • Fig. 13 is an enlarged sectional view of a compressing mechanism in a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
  • the suction liner 13 is integrally formed on the suction connection pipe 14a of the accumulator 14.
  • Other configurations which are not illustrated in the drawing are the same as those of the first embodiment and thus, description thereof will be omitted. Due to this integral configuration, the number of parts is reduced, and it is possible to enhance the efficiency and to reduce the costs by the heat insulating effect.
  • the non-contact length ⁇ L is shorter than the length L C1 of the reduced-diameter portion 12a.
  • the configuration in the second embodiment that the step formed between the reduced-diameter portion 12a and the increased-diameter portion 12b is tapered such that the angle ⁇ is formed may be applied to the fourth embodiment shown in Fig. 13 .
  • the divider configured by the O-ring 17 in the third embodiment may be applied to the fourth embodiment shown in Fig. 13 .
  • the straight suction liner 13 in the third embodiment may be applied to the fourth embodiment shown in Fig. 13 .
  • Fig. 14 is an enlarged sectional view showing a suction hole of a compressor and its vicinity in a fifth embodiment of the invention.
  • Other configurations which are not illustrated in the drawing are the same as those of the first embodiment and thus, description thereof will be omitted.
  • the suction liner 13 has a straight shape having no small-diameter portion 13a, and an enlarged portion 12c having an inner diameter ⁇ dc3 greater than the inner diameter ⁇ d C2 of the increased-diameter portion 12b is provided between the reduced-diameter portion 12a and the increased-diameter portion 12b of the suction hole 12.
  • the heat-insulating space 16 formed between the suction liner 13 and the suction hole 12 is formed from the enlarged portion 12c, and the same effect as that of the configuration of the first embodiment can be obtained.
  • This embodiment is effective especially when a thickness of the suction liner 13 is thin and sufficient strength can not be kept in the stepped configuration.
  • the non-contact length ⁇ L is shorter than the length L C1 of the reduced-diameter portion 12a.
  • the configuration in the second embodiment that the step formed between the reduced-diameter portion 12a and the increased-diameter portion 12b is tapered such that the angle ⁇ is formed may be applied to the fifth embodiment shown in Fig. 14 .
  • the divider configured by the O-ring 17 in the third embodiment may be applied to the fifth embodiment shown in Fig. 14 .
  • the integral configuration between the suction liner 13 and the suction connection pipe 14a in the fourth embodiment may be applied to the fifth embodiment shown in Fig. 14 .
  • HCFC-based refrigerant such as R12
  • HFC-based refrigerant such as R410An
  • natural refrigerant such as carbon dioxide
  • refrigerant having hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) having a carbon-carbon double bond as basic component
  • single refrigerant having HFO-1234yf single refrigerant having HFO-1234yf
  • mixture refrigerant in which this refrigerant, R32 (HFC-32) and R125 (HFC-125) are mixed.
  • the HFO refrigerant is low pressure refrigerant, specific volume is large and flow velocity in the suction liner 13 is relatively fast. Therefore, a pressure loss is prone to be generated. When such refrigerant is used, the present invention is more effective.
  • the compressor of the present invention can be applied to air conditioners and heat pump water heaters using HFC-based refrigerant, HCFC-based refrigerant and HFO-based refrigerant, and to air conditioners and heat pump water heaters using carbon dioxide of natural refrigerant.
