Here, in a configuration in which the fluid compressed in the compression chamber is introduced from the discharge port into the discharge chamber, the larger the opening area of the discharge port with respect to the compression chamber, the easier it is for the fluid to be discharged into the discharge chamber. On the other hand, the larger the opening area of the discharge port, the more the high-pressure side and the low-pressure side sandwiching the vane communicate with each other through the discharge port when the vane passes through the discharge port, and the compressed fluid leaks to the low-pressure side. Therefore, there is a concern that the compression efficiency will decrease.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a compressor capable of suppressing a decrease in compression efficiency.

A compressor for solving the above problems is one that rotates around a rotating axis, and a rotating body that has a rotating body surface that intersects the rotating axis and one that does not rotate.

It is a gist that the discharge port and the vane groove are formed through the rotating body ring portion at a certain distance in the rotation direction.

According to such a configuration, since the rotating body ring portion is provided with the discharge port and the vane groove, the rotating body ring portion is integrally provided with the discharge port and the vane. Then, when the rotating body rotates, the discharge port and the vane rotate integrally with the rotating body while maintaining a constant distance in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the vane rotating together with the rotating body does not pass over the opening of the discharge port, and the compression space and the suction space of the compression chamber do not communicate with each other through the discharge port in a state of straddling the vane.

Regarding the compressor, the rotating body may be provided on the rotating body surface with a discharge groove for communicating the vane groove and the discharge port provided on the rear side in the rotation direction with respect to the discharge port.

According to such a configuration, the compressed fluid that has not been discharged may remain in the rotating body ring portion in the discharge port, but the remaining compressed fluid can be discharged to the vane groove on the rear side in the rotation direction through the discharge groove. .. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the remaining of the compressed fluid in the compressed space, and it is possible to suppress the flow of the compressed fluid into the suction space when the compressed space is switched to the suction space and the discharge port is opened with respect to the suction space.

A compressor for solving the above problems is one that rotates around a rotation axis, a rotating body having a rotating body surface that intersects the rotating axis, and a rotating body that does not rotate.

The rotating body includes a compression space provided on the rear side in the rotation direction with respect to the contact portion, the rotating body includes the rotating body surface and a rotating body ring portion having the vane groove, and the vane groove is the vane groove. The rotating body ring portion is formed to penetrate in the axial direction, and the cylinder rotates integrally with the rotating body about the rotating axis, and the cylinder penetrates the cylinder in the radial direction to the cylinder. A discharge port is provided to discharge the compressed fluid compressed in the compression space to the outside of the cylinder by opening the inner peripheral surface, and the discharge port and the vane groove are separated from each other by a certain distance in the direction of rotation. The gist is that it is provided.

According to such a configuration, a discharge port is provided in a cylinder that rotates integrally with the rotating body, and a vane groove is provided in the rotating body ring portion provided in the rotating body. It rotates integrally with the rotating body while maintaining a certain distance in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the vane rotating together with the rotating body does not pass over the opening of the discharge port, and the compression space and the suction space of the compression chamber do not communicate with each other through the discharge port in a state of straddling the vane.

Regarding the compressor, the cylinder may be provided with a discharge groove on the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder for communicating the vane groove and the discharge port provided on the rear side in the rotation direction with respect to the discharge port.

According to the present invention, a decrease in compression efficiency can be suppressed.

The suction port 11a is provided, for example, at a position on the bottom side of the side wall of the front housing 21 with respect to the open end. However, the position of the suction port 11a is arbitrary.

The rear housing 22 is used in cooperation with the rear plate 40 to partition the storage chamber A3 that houses both the fixed bodies 90 and 110 and the rotating body 60. The rear housing 22 has a bottomed cylindrical shape and is open toward the rear plate 40.

The rear housing 22 has a rear housing bottom portion 23 and a rear housing side wall portion 24 that stands up from the rear housing bottom portion 23 toward the rear plate 40. The front housing 21 and the rear housing 22 are unitized so that the open end of the front housing 21 and the bottom of the rear housing bottom 23 face each other.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a front insertion hole 23c through which the rotating shaft 12 can be inserted is formed in the bottom portion 23 of the rear housing, and the rotating shaft 12 is inserted through the front insertion hole 23c.

As shown in FIG. 1, the rear housing side wall portion 24 has a rear housing inner peripheral surface 24a which is an inner peripheral surface and a rear housing outer peripheral surface 24b as an outer peripheral surface arranged on a side opposite to the rear housing inner peripheral surface 24a.

The discharge cover 26 has a cover bottom portion 26a and a cover side wall portion 26b that stands up from the cover bottom portion 26a toward the rear plate 40. The discharge cover 26 is fixed to the rear plate 40 in a state of being abutted against the rear housing 22 of the rear plate 40. The discharge port 11b is provided on the side wall portion 26b of the cover. However, the position and number of the discharge ports 11b are arbitrary. The discharge chamber A1 in which the compressed fluid exists is partitioned by the outer surface of the rear plate 40 and the discharge cover 26. The discharge chamber A1 in the present embodiment is formed in a disk shape with the axial direction Z as the central axis. The discharge chamber A1 communicates with the discharge port 11b. The compressed fluid in the discharge chamber A1 is discharged from the discharge port 11b to the outside of the housing 11.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the cylinder 30 is used to accommodate both the fixed bodies 90 and 110 and the rotating body 60. The cylinder 30 has a cylindrical shape formed smaller than the side wall portion 24 of the rear housing. The cylinder 30 has a cylinder inner peripheral surface 31 which is an inner peripheral surface, and a cylinder outer peripheral surface 32 as an outer peripheral surface arranged on a side opposite to the cylinder inner peripheral surface 31. The cylinder inner peripheral surface 31 and the cylinder outer peripheral surface 32 are, for example, cylindrical surfaces having the axial direction Z as the axial direction. In the present embodiment, the cylinder 30 is fixed to the rotating body 60 and rotates integrally with the rotating body 60.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cylinder outer peripheral surface 32 is radially separated from the rear housing inner peripheral surface 24a. In the embodiment, the accommodation chamber A3 is located between the inner bottom surface 23e which is the inner surface of the rear housing bottom 23, the inner peripheral surface 24a of the rear housing, the first plate surface 43 which is the inner surface of the rear plate 40, and the outer peripheral surface 32 of the cylinder.

By supplying drive power from the inverter 14, the electric motor 13 directs the rotating shaft 12 in the direction indicated by the arrow M, in detail, in the clockwise direction when both fixed bodies 90 and 110 are viewed from the electric motor 13. , "Rotation direction M"). The central axis of the rotating shaft 12 is the rotating axis L of the rotating shaft 12. That is, the rotation axis 12 rotates about the rotation axis L.

Incidentally, since the suction port 11a is provided in the front housing 21 that partitions the motor chamber A2, the suction fluid sucked from the suction port 11a is sucked (in other words, introduced) into the motor chamber A2 in the housing 11. That is, the suction fluid exists in the motor chamber A2. That is, it can be said that the motor chamber A2 forms a part of the suction chamber into which the suction fluid is sucked.

In the compressor 10 of the present embodiment, the inverter 14, the electric motor 13, the front fixed body 90, the rotating body 60, and the rear fixed body 110 are arranged in this order in the axial direction Z. However, the positions of these parts are arbitrary, and for example, the inverter 14 may be arranged outside the radial direction R of the rotating shaft 12 with respect to the electric motor 13.

The rear plate 40 has a plate shape (disk shape in the present embodiment), and is sandwiched between the rear housing 22 and the discharge cover 26 so that the plate thickness direction coincides with the axial direction Z. The outer diameter of the rear plate 40 is, for example, the same diameter as the outer peripheral surface of the rear housing outer peripheral surface 24b and the cover side wall portion 26b. Therefore, it can be said that the rear plate 40 constitutes a part of the housing 11.

The rear housing 22 and the rear plate 40 are assembled so that the open end portion of the side wall portion 24 of the rear housing is abutted against the rear plate 40, and the opening of the rear housing 22 is closed by the rear plate 40. Further, the discharge cover 26 and the rear plate 40 are assembled so that the opening end portion of the cover side wall portion 26b is abutted against the rear plate 40, and the opening of the discharge cover 26 is closed by the rear plate 40. ..

Specifically, a plate recess 42 is formed in the rear plate 40 at a position facing the open end of the rear housing side wall 24 in the axial direction Z. The plate recess 42 is formed over the entire circumference. The rear housing 22 and the rear plate 40 are attached to each other in a state where the open end portion of the side wall portion 24 of the rear housing is fitted in the plate recess 42.

The rear plate 40 has a first plate surface 43 and a second plate surface 44 as plate surfaces orthogonal to the axial direction Z. The first plate surface 43 is arranged on the bottom 23 side of the rear housing, and is also the inner surface of the rear plate 40 that partitions the accommodation chamber A3. The second plate surface 44 is arranged on the discharge cover 26 side, and is also the outer surface of the rear plate 40 that partitions the discharge chamber A1. Further, the second plate surface 44 faces the cover bottom portion 26a in the axial direction Z. In the present embodiment, the first plate surface 43 is smaller than the second plate surface 44 because the plate recess 42 is formed.

The compressor 10 includes shaft bearings 51 and 53 that rotatably support the rotating shaft 12.
The front shaft bearing 51 is attached to a boss portion 52 provided at the bottom of the front housing 21. The boss portion 52 has a ring shape protruding from the bottom portion of the front housing 21. The front shaft bearing 51 is arranged inside the radial direction R of the rotating shaft 12 with respect to the boss portion 52, and is the front shaft end of both shaft end portions 12a and 12b which are both ends of the rotating shaft 12 in the axial direction Z. The portion 12a is rotatably supported.

A rear insertion hole 41 through which the rotating shaft 12 is inserted is formed in the central portion of the rear plate 40. The rear insertion hole 41 is formed to be the same as or larger than the rear shaft end portion 12b on the side opposite to the front shaft end portion 12a. The rear shaft end portion 12b is inserted into the rear insertion hole 41.

The rear shaft bearing 53 is provided on the inner wall surface of the rear insertion hole 41 and rotatably supports the rear shaft end portion 12b. The rear shaft bearing 53 is, for example, a coating bearing composed of a coating layer formed on the inner wall surface of the rear insertion hole 41.

The coating layer is arbitrary, and may include, for example, a thermosetting resin or a lubricant. Further, the rear shaft bearing 53 is not limited to the coated bearing formed from the coating layer, and may be any, for example, other sliding bearings or rolling bearings. For convenience of drawing, the rear shaft bearing 53 is shown thicker than it actually is in FIG. 1 and the like.

As described above, in the present embodiment, both shaft end portions 12a and 12b are rotatably supported by both shaft bearings 51 and 53. Here, the point where the front shaft bearing 51 is attached to the boss portion 52 of the front housing 21, and the point where the rear plate 40 on which the rear shaft bearing 53 is formed is sandwiched between the rear housing 22 and the inverter cover 25. In view of the above, it can be said that the rotating shaft 12 is rotatably supported with respect to the housing 11 by both shaft bearings 51 and 53.

As shown in FIG. 1, a storage chamber A3 partitioned by a rear housing 22 and a rear plate 40 is formed in the housing 11, and the rotating body 60 and the rotating body 60 housed in the cylinder 30 are formed in the storage chamber A3. Both fixed bodies 90 and 110 are housed.

The motor chamber A2 and the accommodation chamber A3 are provided side by side in the axial direction Z in the housing 11. The motor chamber A2 and the accommodation chamber A3 are separated by a rear housing bottom portion 23. That is, the rear housing bottom 23 divides the motor chamber A2 and the accommodation chamber A3 so that the suction fluid in the motor chamber A2 does not easily flow into the accommodation chamber A3. The rotating shaft 12 is arranged so as to pass through the bottom portion 23 of the rear housing so as to straddle both the motor chamber A2 and the accommodating chamber A3.

The motor chamber A2 and the accommodation chamber A3 are provided side by side in the axial direction Z in the housing 11. The rotating shaft 12 is arranged so as to pass through the bottom portion 23 of the rear housing so as to straddle both the motor chamber A2 and the accommodating chamber A3.

Next, the rotating body 60 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.
The rotating body 60 rotates in the rotation direction M with the rotation of the rotating shaft 12. The rotating body 60 is arranged in the housing 11 so that its rotating axis is the same as the rotating axis L of the rotating shaft 12. That is, the rotating body 60 is arranged so as to be coaxial with the rotating shaft 12, and rotates about the rotating axis L. Therefore, the compressor 10 has a structure of axial motion rather than eccentric motion.

The rotating body 60 includes a rotating body cylinder portion 61 in which the rotating shaft 12 is inserted, and a rotating body ring portion 70 protruding from the rotating body cylinder portion 61 toward the outer side in the radial direction.
The rotating body cylinder portion 61 is attached to the rotating shaft 12 so as to rotate integrally with the rotating shaft 12. As a result, the rotating body 60 rotates with the rotation of the rotating shaft 12. The mounting mode of the rotating body cylinder 61 with respect to the rotating shaft 12 is arbitrary. For example, the rotating body cylinder 61 may be fixed to the rotating shaft 12 by press fitting, or straddles the rotating shaft 12 and the rotating body 61. The rotating body cylinder portion 61 may be fixed to the rotating shaft 12 by the fixing pin inserted in the rotating body. Further, the rotating body cylinder portion 61 and the rotating shaft 12 may be connected by a connecting member such as a key, or the rotating body cylinder portion 61 and the rotating shaft 12 are provided in the recess provided on one side and on the other side. The structure may be such that the convex portions are engaged with each other.

The rotating body cylinder portion 61 has, for example, a cylindrical shape with the axial direction Z as the axial direction. The rotating body cylinder portion 61 has, for example, an inner diameter equal to or larger than that of the rotating shaft 12. The inner peripheral surface of the rotating body cylinder 61 and the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 12 face each other in the radial direction R.

The rotating body cylindrical portion 61 has a tubular tubular portion outer peripheral surface 62 whose axial direction Z is the axial direction. The outer peripheral surface 62 of the tubular portion is curved so as to be convex outward in the radial direction R, and is a cylindrical surface in the present embodiment.

The rotating body ring portion 70 is provided at a predetermined position (near the central portion in the present embodiment) between both rotating body end portions 61a and 61b, which are both ends of the rotating body cylinder portion 61 in the axial direction Z.
The rotating body ring portion 70 is in the shape of an annular plate having an axial direction Z in the plate thickness direction and having a discharge recess 71 formed on the ring outer peripheral surface 70a which is the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body ring portion 70. The discharge recess 71 of the present embodiment extends in the radial direction R with the direction orthogonal to both the axial direction Z and the radial direction R as the circumferential direction, and opens toward the outside of the radial direction R. The rotating body ring portion 70 has a front rotating body surface 71a and a rear rotating body surface 72a as rotating body surfaces on both end surfaces in the axial direction Z. Both rotating body surfaces 71a and 72a are ring-shaped. Both rotating body surfaces 71a and 72a intersect with respect to the axial direction Z, and are flat surfaces orthogonal to the axial direction Z in the present embodiment. Therefore, the inner peripheral edge and the outer peripheral edge of both rotating body surfaces 71a and 72a are linear when viewed from the radial direction R, and the position in the axial direction Z is constant regardless of the circumferential direction.

The rotating body ring portion 70 has a front inner surface 71b arranged on the opposite side of the front rotating body surface 71a in the axial direction Z, and a rear inner surface 72b arranged on the opposite side of the rear rotating body surface 72a in the axial direction Z. ing. The front inner surface 71b and the rear inner surface 72b are surfaces facing each other in the axial direction Z.

The rotating body ring portion 70 includes a connecting surface 71c that connects the front inner surface 71b and the rear inner surface 72b facing the axial direction Z in the axial direction Z. The connection surface 71c connects the peripheral ends of the front inner surface 71b and the rear inner surface 72b facing the axial direction Z in the axial direction Z.

In the present embodiment, the discharge recess 71 is partitioned by the front inner surface 71b and the rear inner surface 72b facing in the axial direction Z, and a pair of connecting surfaces 71c connecting them. The inner surfaces 71b and 72b are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and in detail, they are arranged at positions shifted by 120 ° from each other. In the present embodiment, the rotating body ring portion 70 includes three discharge recesses 71. The three discharge recesses 71 are not displaced in the axial direction Z and are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.

Further, a vane groove 130 is formed in the rotating body ring portion 70. The vane groove 130 penetrates the rotating body ring portion 70 in the axial direction Z and opens on both rotating body surfaces 71a and 72a. The vane groove 130 of the present embodiment extends in the radial direction R with the direction orthogonal to both the axial direction Z and the radial direction R as the width direction, and opens toward the outside of the radial direction R. Therefore, the vane groove 130 is open to the outer peripheral surface 70a of the ring. The vane groove 130 extends linearly in the axial direction Z.

As a reminder, in the present embodiment, the rotating body ring portion 70 is a portion outside the radial direction R with respect to the rotating body cylinder portion 61. Therefore, the rotating body cylinder portion 61 exists inside the radial direction R of the rotating body ring portion 70. That is, the rotating body ring portion 70 is a portion provided on the outer peripheral surface 62 of the tubular portion and projecting outward from the outer peripheral surface 62 of the tubular portion in the radial direction.

The compressor 10 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of discharge recesses 71 and vane grooves 130, and in detail, includes three. The plurality of discharge recesses 71 and vane grooves 130 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and in detail, they are arranged at positions shifted by 120 ° from each other. Correspondingly, a plurality of discharge recesses 71 and vanes 131 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. Further, the discharge recess 71 and the vane 131 are separated by a certain distance in the circumferential direction. Specifically, the discharge recess 71 and the vane 131 are separated by the thickness of the plate having the connecting surface 71c interposed between them.

The cylinder 30 is fixed to the rotating body 60 so as to rotate integrally. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the cylinder 30 is fixed to the rotating body 60 by being fastened to the fastening portion 75 provided on the outer peripheral surface 70a of the ring in a state where the fastener 74 penetrates the cylinder 30 in the radial direction R. Has been done. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the fixing mode of the cylinder 30 and the rotating body 60 is arbitrary, and may be fixed by, for example, press fitting or fitting.

As shown in FIG. 2 or 6, the compressor 10 includes a vane 131 inserted into the vane groove 130. The vane 131 has a rectangular plate shape as a whole. The vane 131 is arranged between the fixed bodies 90 and 110, for example, with the plate surfaces of the vane 131 intersecting the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 12. The vane 131 has a plate shape whose thickness direction is orthogonal to both the width direction of the vane groove 130, that is, the axial direction Z and the radial direction R.

Both plate surfaces of the vane 131 and both side surfaces of the vane groove 130 face each other in the circumferential direction (in other words, the width direction of the vane groove 130). The width of the vane groove 130 (in other words, the facing distance between both side surfaces of the vane groove 130) is the same as or slightly wider than the plate thickness of the vane 131. The vane 131 inserted into the vane groove 130 is sandwiched by both side surfaces of the vane groove 130. The vane 131 is allowed to move axially Z along the vane groove 130. In the present embodiment, both ends of the vane 131, specifically, the vane 131 in the axial direction Z, are in contact with both the fixed body surfaces 100 and 120.

The front thrust bearing 81 supports the rotating body cylinder portion 61 (specifically, the front rotating body end portion 61a) from the axial direction Z in a state of being supported by the bottom portion 23 of the rear housing.

The rear thrust bearing 82 is arranged in the thrust accommodating recess 83 formed in the rear plate 40. The thrust accommodating recess 83 is formed in a portion of the inner wall surface of the rear insertion hole 41 that is closer to the first plate surface 43 than the second plate surface 44 and a peripheral portion of the rear insertion hole 41 in the first plate surface 43.

In the present embodiment, the inner peripheral surfaces of both thrust bearings 81 and 82 and the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 12 are in contact with each other. In this case, it can be said that both thrust bearings 81 and 82 support the rotating shaft 12 by abutting the rotating shaft 12 in the radial direction R. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and both thrust bearings 81 and 82 and the rotating shaft 12 may be separated from each other in the radial direction R.

It is a fixed body arranged at a position away from the motor chamber A2.

The front fixed body 90 is a fixed body arranged near the bottom 23 of the rear housing among both fixed bodies 90 and 110, and the rear fixed body 110 is attached to the rear plate 40 of both fixed bodies 90 and 110. It can be said that it is a fixed body arranged at a close position.

The configurations of both fixed bodies 90 and 110 will be described in detail. In this embodiment, both the fixed bodies 90 and 110 have the same shape.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the front fixed body 90 of the two fixed bodies 90 and 110 is, for example, ring-shaped (annular in the present embodiment), and the front fixed body insertion hole into which the rotating shaft 12 is inserted is inserted. Has 91. In the present embodiment, the front fixed body insertion hole 91 is a through hole penetrating in the axial direction Z. The front fixed body 90 is arranged in the cylinder 30 with the rotating shaft 12 inserted into the front fixed body insertion hole 91.

The front fixed body 90 has a surface that intersects the radial direction R and has a cylinder inner peripheral surface 31 and a front fixed body outer peripheral surface 92 that faces the radial direction R. In the present embodiment, the outer peripheral surface 92 of the front fixed body and the inner peripheral surface 31 of the cylinder are in contact with each other.

The front fixing body 90 includes a front back surface 93 facing the bottom portion 23 of the rear housing and the axial direction Z. The front back surface 93 and the inner bottom surface 23e of the rear housing bottom portion 23 may be separated from each other or may be in contact with each other.

Of the two fixed bodies 90 and 110, the rear fixed body 110 is ring-shaped (annular in the present embodiment) like the front fixed body 90, and has a rear fixed body insertion hole 111 into which the rotating shaft 12 is inserted. doing. In the present embodiment, the rear fixed body insertion hole 111 is a through hole penetrating in the axial direction Z. The rear fixed body 110 is arranged in the cylinder 30 with the rotating shaft 12 inserted into the rear fixed body insertion hole 111. That is, in the present embodiment, the rotating shaft 12 penetrates both the fixed bodies 90 and 110 in the axial direction Z.

The rear fixed body 110 has a surface that intersects the radial direction R and has a cylinder inner peripheral surface 31 and a rear fixed body outer peripheral surface 112 that faces the radial direction R. In the present embodiment, the outer peripheral surface 112 of the rear fixed body and the inner peripheral surface 31 of the cylinder are in contact with each other. That is, the cylinder inner peripheral surface 31 of the present embodiment faces the ring outer peripheral surface 70a and the outer peripheral surfaces 92 and 112 of both fixed bodies in the radial direction R.

The rear fixed body 110 includes a first plate surface 43 of the rear plate 40 and a rear back surface 113 facing the axial direction Z. The rear back surface 113 and the first plate surface 43 may be separated from each other or may be in contact with each other.

As shown in FIG. 4, the rotating body 60 is supported by both fixed bodies 90 and 110 by inserting the rotating body cylinder portion 61 into the fixed body insertion holes 91 and 111 of both fixed bodies 90 and 110. Specifically, of the both rotating body end portions 61a and 61b which are both ends of the rotating body cylinder portion 61 in the axial direction Z, the front rotating body end portion 61a is inserted into the front fixed body insertion hole 91 and is fixed to the front. It penetrates the front fixed body 90 through the body insertion hole 91.

The front fixed body insertion hole 91 is formed so as to correspond to the rotating body cylinder portion 61 (specifically, the outer peripheral surface 62 of the cylinder portion), and in the present embodiment, the rotating body cylinder portion 61 corresponds to a cylindrical shape. It is formed in a circular shape when viewed from the axial direction Z. The diameter of the front fixed body insertion hole 91 may be the same as or slightly larger than the diameter of the outer peripheral surface 62 of the tubular portion. The front rotating body end 61a is rotatably supported by the front fixing body 90 by a front rotating body bearing (not shown) formed on the inner wall surface of the front fixing body insertion hole 91.

Similarly, of the two rotating body end portions 61a and 61b, the rear rotating body end portion 61b on the side opposite to the front rotating body end portion 61a is inserted into the rear fixed body insertion hole 111, and the rear fixed body insertion hole 111. It penetrates the rear fixed body 110 through.

The rear fixed body insertion hole 111 is formed so as to correspond to the rotating body cylinder portion 61 (specifically, the outer peripheral surface 62 of the cylinder portion), and in the present embodiment, the rotating body cylinder portion 61 corresponds to the cylindrical shape. It is formed in a circular shape when viewed from the axial direction Z.

The rear rotating body end portion 61b is rotatably supported by the rear fixed body 110 by a rear rotating body bearing (not shown) formed on the inner wall surface of the rear fixed body insertion hole 111.

That is, the end portions 61a and 61b of both rotating bodies are supported by both fixed bodies 90 and 110 via the bearings of both rotating bodies. As a result, the rotating body 60 is supported with respect to both the fixed bodies 90 and 110, and the displacement of the rotating body 60 with respect to both the fixed bodies 90 and 110 can be suppressed.

Further, both rotating body end portions 61a and 61b form both end portions of the rotating body 60 in the axial direction Z. Therefore, it can be said that both end portions of the rotating body 60 are supported by the double rotating body bearings. As a result, the rotating body 60 is stably held.

Further, since the fixed body insertion holes 91 and 111 are formed so as to correspond to the rotating body cylinder portion 61, there is a gap formed between the inner wall surface of the fixed body insertion holes 91 and 111 and the outer peripheral surface 62 of the cylinder portion. It is unlikely to occur or the gap is small.

Incidentally, the rotating body bearing is, for example, a coating bearing composed of a coating layer formed on the inner wall surface of the fixed body insertion holes 91 and 111. The specific configuration of the rotating body bearing is not limited to the coated bearing, and may be arbitrary, for example, other sliding bearings or rolling bearings.

The front fixed body 90 has a front fixed body surface 100 as a fixed body surface facing the front rotating body surface 71a and the axial direction Z. The front fixed body surface 100 is a plate surface on the opposite side of the front back surface 93. The front fixed body surface 100 has a ring shape, and in the present embodiment, it is annular when viewed from the axial direction Z.

As shown in FIG. 3, the front fixed body surface 100 connects the first front flat surface 101 and the second front flat surface 102 that intersect the axial direction Z (orthogonal in the present embodiment) and both front flat surfaces 101 and 102. It includes a pair of front cam surfaces 103 as cam surfaces.

As shown in FIG. 1, both front flat surfaces 101 and 102 are displaced in the axial direction Z. Specifically, the second front flat surface 102 is arranged at a position closer to the front rotating body surface 71a than the first front flat surface 101, and is in contact with the front rotating body surface 71a. The surfaces of the front fixed body surface 100 other than the second front flat surface 102 are separated from the front rotating body surface 71a in the axial direction Z.

Both front flat surfaces 101 and 102 are arranged apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the front fixed body 90, for example, they are displaced by 180 °. In this embodiment, both front flat surfaces 101 and 102 are fan-shaped. In the following description, the circumferential positions of both fixed bodies 90 and 110 are also referred to as angular positions.

The pair of front cam surfaces 103 are each fan-shaped. As shown in FIG. 3, the pair of front cam surfaces 103 are arranged to face each other in the direction orthogonal to both the axial direction Z and the opposite directions of both front flat surfaces 101 and 102. Both front cam surfaces 103 have the same shape.

The pair of front cam surfaces 103 connect both front flat surfaces 101 and 102, respectively. Specifically, one of the pair of front cam surfaces 103 connects one ends of both front flat surfaces 101 and 102 in the circumferential direction, and the other end of both front flat surfaces 101 and 102 in the circumferential direction. The other ends on the opposite side of the part are connected to each other.

Here, for convenience of explanation, the angle position of the boundary portion between the front cam surface 103 and the first front flat surface 101 is set to the first angle position θ1, and the angle of the boundary portion between the front cam surface 103 and the second front flat surface 102. Let the position be the second angle position θ2. For convenience of illustration, the angular positions θ1 and θ2 are shown by broken lines in FIG. 3, but the boundary portions are actually smoothly continuous.

The front cam surface 103 is a cam surface displaced in the axial direction Z according to the circumferential direction (in other words, the angular position of the front fixed body 90). Specifically, the front cam surface 103 is displaced in the axial direction Z so as to gradually approach the front rotating body surface 71a from the first angle position θ1 to the second angle position θ2. In other words, the pair of front cam surfaces 103 are provided on both sides in the circumferential direction with respect to the second front flat surface 102, and gradually separate from the front rotating body surface 71a as the distance from the second front flat surface 102 in the circumferential direction increases. Is displaced in the axial direction Z.

In the present embodiment, the front cam surface 103 has a front concave surface 103a that is curved in the axial direction Z so as to be concave with respect to the front rotating body surface 71a and an axial direction that is convex toward the front rotating body surface 71a. It has a front convex surface 103b that is curved in Z.

The front concave surface 103a is arranged closer to the first front flat surface 101 than the second front flat surface 102, and the front convex surface 103b is arranged closer to the second front flat surface 102 than the first front flat surface 101. Has been done. The angle range occupied by the front convex surface 103b and the angle range occupied by the front concave surface 103a are the same.

Further, the thickness of the front fixed body 90 (in other words, the length in the axial direction Z) is different depending on the angular position. Specifically, the portion of the front fixed body 90 corresponding to the second front flat surface 102 is the thickest, and the portion corresponding to the first front flat surface 101 is the thinnest. The portion of the front fixed body 90 corresponding to the front cam surface 103 gradually becomes thinner from the second front flat surface 102 toward the first front flat surface 101.

As shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 12, the rear fixed body 110 has a rear fixed body surface 120 as a fixed body surface facing the rear rotating body surface 72a in the axial direction Z. The rear fixed body surface 120 is a plate surface on the side opposite to the rear back surface 113. The rear fixed body surface 120 has a ring shape when viewed from the axial direction Z, and is annular in the present embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the rear fixed body surface 120 has the same shape as the front fixed body surface 100. The rear fixed body surface 120 is a pair of rear cams as cam surfaces connecting the first rear flat surface 121 and the second rear flat surface 122 intersecting the axial direction Z (orthogonal in the present embodiment) and both rear flat surfaces 121 and 122. It has a surface 123 and.

As shown in FIG. 1, both rear flat surfaces 121 and 122 are displaced in the axial direction Z. Specifically, the second rear flat surface 122 is arranged at a position closer to the rear rotating body surface 72a than the first rear flat surface 121, and is in contact with the rear rotating body surface 72a. The surfaces of the rear fixed body surface 120 other than the second rear flat surface 122 are separated from the rear rotating body surface 72a in the axial direction Z.

Both rear flat surfaces 121 and 122 are arranged apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the rear fixed body 110, and for example, they are displaced by 180 °. In this embodiment, both rear flat surfaces 121 and 122 are fan-shaped.

The pair of rear cam surfaces 123 are each fan-shaped. The pair of rear cam surfaces 123 are arranged to face each other in the direction orthogonal to both the axial direction Z and the opposite directions of the two rear flat surfaces 121 and 122. One of the pair of rear cam surfaces 123 connects one end portions of both rear flat surfaces 121 and 122 in the circumferential direction, and the other side of both rear flat surfaces 121 and 122 opposite to the one end portion in the circumferential direction. The other ends of the are connected to each other.

In other words, the pair of rear cam surfaces 123 are provided on both sides in the circumferential direction with respect to the second rear flat surface 122, and gradually separate from the rear rotating body surface 72a as the distance from the second rear flat surface 122 in the circumferential direction increases. It is displaced in the axial direction Z.

In the present embodiment, the rear cam surface 123 has a rear concave surface 123a that is curved in the axial direction Z so as to be concave with respect to the rear rotating body surface 72a, and an axial direction Z so as to be convex toward the rear rotating body surface 72a. It has a rear convex surface 123b that is curved to the surface.

The rear concave surface 123a is arranged closer to the first rear flat surface 121 than the second rear flat surface 122, and the rear convex surface 123b is arranged closer to the second rear flat surface 122 than the first rear flat surface 121. Has been done. The angle range occupied by the rear convex surface 123b and the angle range occupied by the rear concave surface 123a are the same.

Both fixed body surfaces 100 and 120 face each other with a phase shift from each other and are separated from each other in the axial direction Z via the rotating body ring portion 70. Specifically, the second front flat surface 102 as the front fixed body contact surface and the second rear flat surface 122 as the rear fixed body contact surface are arranged so as to be offset in the circumferential direction. Is arranged 180 ° apart. Therefore, the front contact point Pf, which is the contact point between the second front flat surface 102 and the front rotating body surface 71a, and the rear contact point, which is the contact point between the second rear flat surface 122 and the rear rotating body surface 72a. It is arranged so as to be offset from Pr in the circumferential direction. In this embodiment, both contact points Pf and Pr are offset by 180 °. The front contact portion Pf is fan-shaped like the second front flat surface 102, and the rear contact portion Pr is fan-shaped like the second rear flat surface 122.

The facing distance between the two fixed body surfaces 100 and 120 is constant regardless of their angular position (in other words, the circumferential position). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the first front flat surface 101 and the second rear flat surface 122 face each other in the axial direction Z, and the second front flat surface 102 and the first rear flat surface 121 It faces the axial direction Z. The amount of deviation in the axial direction Z between the two front flat surfaces 101 and 102 is the same as the amount of deviation between the two rear flat surfaces 121 and 122. Hereinafter, the amount of deviation in the axial direction Z between the two front flat surfaces 101 and 102 and the amount of deviation between the two rear flat surfaces 121 and 122 are simply referred to as "the amount of deviation".

Further, the displacement of the front cam surface 103 and the displacement of the rear cam surface 123 are the same. That is, the front cam surface 103 and the rear cam surface 123 are displaced in the same direction so that the facing distance does not fluctuate according to the angular position. As a result, the facing distance between the fixed body surfaces 100 and 120 is constant at any angle position.

The specific shapes of the first rear flat surface 121, the second rear flat surface 122, and the rear cam surface 123 are the same as those of the first front flat surface 101, the second front flat surface 102, and the front cam surface 103. , Detailed description is omitted.

Here, the circumferential direction of both the fixed bodies 90 and 110 and the rotating body 60 and the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 12 coincide with each other, and the radial direction of both the fixed bodies 90 and 110 and the rotating body 60 and the radial direction of the rotating shaft 12. It coincides with R, and the axial direction of both the fixed bodies 90 and 110 and the rotating body 60 and the axial direction Z of the rotating shaft 12 coincide with each other. Therefore, the circumferential direction, radial direction R, and axial direction Z of the rotating shaft 12 may be appropriately read as the circumferential direction, radial direction, and axial direction of the rotating body 60, and the circumferential direction and diameter of both fixed bodies 90 and 110. It may be read as a direction and an axial direction.

As shown in FIG. 4, the compressor 10 includes compression chambers A4 and A5 in which fluid is sucked and compressed. Both compression chambers A4 and A5 are provided in the accommodation chamber A3, and are specifically arranged on both sides of the rotating body ring portion 70 in the axial direction Z. Both compression chambers A4 and A5 are separated from each other in the axial direction Z.

The front compression chamber A4 is partitioned by using a front rotating body surface 71a and a front fixed body surface 100, and in the present embodiment, the front compression chamber A4 is partitioned by these surfaces, a cylinder inner peripheral surface 31 and a cylinder outer peripheral surface 62.

The rear compression chamber A5 is partitioned by using a rear rotating body surface 72a and a rear fixed body surface 120, and in the present embodiment, the rear compression chamber A5 is partitioned by these surfaces, a cylinder inner peripheral surface 31 and a cylinder outer peripheral surface 62. In the present embodiment, the front compression chamber A4 and the rear compression chamber A5 have the same size.

As shown in FIG. 1, the compression chambers A4 and A5 become narrower in the axial direction Z as they approach the contact points Pf and Pr. In other words, the compression chambers A4 and A5 gradually expand in the axial direction Z from the contact points Pf and Pr toward the flat surfaces 101 and 121, and from the flat surfaces 101 and 121 toward the contact points Pf and Pr. As a result, it gradually narrows in the axial direction Z.

Here, since the flat surfaces 102 and 122 are arranged so as to be offset in the circumferential direction, the front compression chamber A4 and the rear compression chamber A5 are out of phase with each other. That is, both compression chambers A4 and A5 are out of phase of the volume change. Specifically, the volume change of the rear compression chamber A5 is phase-lagging with respect to the volume change of the front compression chamber A4.

According to such a configuration, the vane 131 rotates in the rotation direction M as the rotating body 60 rotates. In this case, the vane 131 moves in the axial direction Z along both the fixed body surfaces 100 and 120 (in other words, swings) due to the contact with the both fixed body surfaces 100 and 120. That is, the vane 131 rotates while moving in the axial direction Z. As a result, the vane 131 enters the front compression chamber A4 and the rear compression chamber A5. That is, it can be said that the vane groove 130 rotates the vane 131 with the rotation of the rotating body 60 so that the vane 131 is arranged across both the compression chambers A4 and A5.

Then, in both the compression chambers A4 and A5, the vane 131 causes a periodic volume change with the rotation of the rotating body 60, and the fluid is sucked and compressed, respectively. That is, it can be said that the vane 131 causes a volume change in both the compression chambers A4 and A5.

The moving distance (in other words, the swinging distance) of the vane 131 is the amount of displacement in the axial direction Z between the two front flat surfaces 101 and 102 (or between the two rear flat surfaces 121 and 122), that is, the amount of displacement. Further, the vane 131 is continuously in contact with the surfaces 100 and 120 of both fixed bodies during the rotation of the rotating body 60, which may cause intermittent contact, specifically, periodic separation or contact. Hateful.

Here, as shown in FIG. 11, the front compression chamber A4 is divided into three parts chambers, that is, a first front compression chamber A4a, a second front compression chamber A4b, and a third front compression chamber A4c by three vanes 131. Has been done.

For convenience of explanation, the parts chamber arranged on the front side in the rotation direction M with respect to the second front flat surface 102 among the three parts chambers is referred to as the first front compression chamber A4a.
Further, of the three parts chambers, the parts chamber arranged on the rear side in the rotation direction M with respect to the first front compression chamber A4a is referred to as the second front compression chamber A4b. At least a part of the second front compression chamber A4b is arranged on the rear side in the rotation direction M with respect to the second front flat surface 102.

Further, of the three parts chambers, the parts chamber arranged between the first front compression chamber A4a and the second front compression chamber A4b in the circumferential direction is referred to as the third front compression chamber A4c. The third front compression chamber A4c is arranged on the front side in the rotation direction M with respect to the first front compression chamber A4a and on the rear side in the rotation direction M with respect to the second front compression chamber A4b.

Each of the front compression chambers A4a to A4c is formed over an angle range of 120 °. That is, each of the front compression chambers A4a to A4c extends in the circumferential direction, and the extension length (specifically, the length in the circumferential direction) is a length corresponding to an angle range of 120 °.

Strictly speaking, when one of the plurality of vanes 131 is in contact with the second front flat surface 102, the vanes 131 have not entered the front compression chamber A4. In this case, the spaces on both sides of the vane 131 in contact with the second front flat surface 102 are partitioned by the front contact portion Pf and sealed by the front contact portion Pf. Therefore, even when one of the plurality of vanes 131 is in contact with the second front flat surface 102, the front compression chamber A4 is divided into three parts chambers. In the present embodiment, for convenience of explanation, even when one of the plurality of vanes 131 is in contact with the second front flat surface 102, the front compression chamber A4 is provided by the three vanes 131 to form each front compression chamber A4a. It is assumed that it is partitioned into ~ A4c.

Here, both cam surfaces 103 and 123 will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 7, the intermediate position in the circumferential direction of the first front flat surface 101 is defined as the first intermediate angle position θ01. Further, the intermediate position in the circumferential direction of the second front flat surface 102 is set as the second intermediate angle position θ02. In the present embodiment, the first intermediate angle position θ01 is 0 °, and the second intermediate angle position θ02 is 180 °.

The angle between the first intermediate angle position θ01 and the first angle position θ1 is the angle x of the first angle position θ1, and the angle between the second intermediate angle position θ02 and the second angle position θ2 is the angle of the second angle position θ2. As for the angle, the angle of the second angle position is the same as the angle x of the first angle position θ1. Note that the "same" angles include slight deviations due to manufacturing tolerances and manufacturing errors.

On each front cam surface 103, an angle position deviated by 60 ° in the circumferential direction from the first intermediate angle position θ01 is defined as a third angle position θ3. Further, on each front cam surface 103, an angle position deviated by 120 ° in the circumferential direction from the first intermediate angle position θ01 is referred to as a fourth angle position θ4. Since both front cam surfaces 103 have the same shape, the third angle position θ3 and the fourth angle position θ4 are at the same angular position in the circumferential direction on both front cam surfaces 103.

On each front cam surface 103, the angle position deviated by the angle x of the first angle position θ1 from the third angle position θ3 to the first intermediate angle position θ01 side is defined as the first variation angle position θM1. Further, the angle position deviated by the angle x of the first angle position θ1 from the fourth angle position θ4 to the second intermediate angle position θ02 side is defined as the second bending angle position θM2. The angle position deviated by the angle x of the first angle position θ1 from the second angle position θ2 to the second intermediate angle position θ02 side is the second intermediate angle position θ02.

Since the angle x of the first angle position θ1 and the angle x of the second angle position θ2 are the same, the length in the circumferential direction from the first intermediate angle position θ01 to the first variation angle position θM1 and the second intermediate position. The length from the angle position θ02 to the second variation angle position θM2 in the circumferential direction is the same.

In FIG. 7, each angle position θ3 and θ4 is shown by a solid line in order to distinguish them from each angle position θ1 and θ2, but in reality, the boundary portion is smoothly continuous. The inflection angle positions θM1 and θM2 are indicated by a two-dot chain line to distinguish them from the angle positions θ1, θ2, θ3, and θ4, but in reality, the boundary portion is smoothly continuous.

In each front cam surface 103, the front concave surface 103a as the first acceleration surface is between the first angle position θ1 and the first variation angle position θM1, and between the second angle position θ2 and the second variation angle position θM2. Is the front convex surface 103b as the second acceleration surface.

Further, the front cam surface 103 has a front inclined surface 104 between the first inflection angle position θM1 and the second inflection angle position θM2. The front inclined surface 104 is a constant acceleration surface located between the front concave surface 103a and the front convex surface 103b. Therefore, on each front fixed body surface 100, the first front flat surface 101, the front concave surface 103a, the front inclined surface 104, the front convex surface 103b, and the second front flat surface 102 are continuously arranged in the circumferential direction in the above order. ing.

In the present embodiment, the front concave surface 103a and the front inclined surface 104 are continuous in the circumferential direction at a constant inclination angle, and the front inclined surface 104 and the front convex surface 103b are continuous in the circumferential direction at a constant inclination angle. .. That is, it can be said that both front cam surfaces 103 approach the front fixed body surface 100 at a constant inclination angle between the front concave surface 103a, the front inclined surface 104, and the front convex surface 103b.

FIG. 8 shows the acceleration of the vane 131 in the axial direction Z at each angular position when the vane 131 rotates from the first intermediate angle position θ01 to the second intermediate angle position θ02, and shows the acceleration of the vane 131 in the axial direction Z. The velocity is indicated by a one-dot chain line, and the position of the vane 131 in the axial direction Z is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

Further, in FIG. 9, the acceleration in the axial direction Z of the vane 131 at each angular position when the vane 131 rotates the front fixed body surface 100 from the first intermediate angle position θ01 by 360 ° is shown by a solid line, and the axial direction of the vane 131 is shown. The velocity of Z is indicated by a chain line, and the position of the vane 131 in the axial direction Z is indicated by a chain line.

For convenience of explanation, in the following description, unless otherwise specified, the velocity and acceleration mean the velocity and acceleration in the axial direction Z. Further, the speed is set to be "positive" in the direction in which the vane 131 approaches the front fixed body surface 100 relative to the front rotating body surface 71a, and the vane 131 is relatively separated from the front fixed body surface 100 with respect to the front rotating body surface 71a. The direction is "negative". Acceleration is defined as "positive" when the velocity changes in the positive direction, and "negative" when the velocity changes in the negative direction. That is, the acceleration is defined as "positive" when the velocity is rising to the right and "negative" when the velocity is falling to the right.

As shown in FIG. 8 or 9, when the vane 131 passes from the first intermediate angle position θ01 to the first angle position θ1, the vane 131 passes through the first front flat surface 101, so that the vane 131 passes in the axial direction of the vane 131. There is no move to Z. Therefore, the velocity of the vane 131 is zero and the acceleration is zero.

When the vane 131 passes through the first angular position θ1, the vane 131 starts moving in the axial direction Z at the inflection point from the first front flat surface 101 to the front concave surface 103a, so that it is constant positive. Acceleration occurs. The time required for the acceleration of the vane 131 to become constant is defined as the "arrival time T". After that, the vane 131 passes through the front concave surface 103a under a constant acceleration with equal acceleration. The acceleration generated when the vane 131 passes through the front concave surface 103a is positive. In other words, it can be said that the acceleration generated when the vane 131 passes through the front concave surface 103a is "positive".

When the vane 131 passes through the first inflection angle position θM1, a constant negative acceleration is generated due to the inflection from the front concave surface 103a to the front inclined surface 104. However, since the front inclined surface 104 is inclined at a constant inclination angle, the vane 131 accelerates to zero at a constant speed after passing through the first inflection angle position θM1. Therefore, the acceleration generated when passing through the first angle position θ1 which is the boundary between the first front flat surface 101 and the front concave surface 103a and the first bending angle position θM1 which is the boundary between the front concave surface 103a and the front inclined surface 104. It can be said that a constant positive acceleration is generated on the front concave surface 103a while canceling out the acceleration generated when passing through.

The time required for the vane 131 from positive acceleration to zero acceleration is the same as the arrival time T. As a result, the displacement pattern of the acceleration from the first front flat surface 101 through the front concave surface 103a to reach the front inclined surface 104 is represented by the rectangular shape shown in FIG. 8 or FIG.

Further, when the vane 131 passes through the front inclined surface 104 and passes through the second inflection angle position θM2, a constant negative acceleration is generated due to the change from the front inclined surface 104 to the front convex surface 103b. After that, the vane 131 passes through the front convex surface 103b under a constant acceleration with equal acceleration. The acceleration generated when the vane 131 passes through the front convex surface 103b is negative. In other words, it can be said that the acceleration generated when the vane 131 passes through the front convex surface 103b is "negative". Further, the time required for the negative acceleration of the vane 131 to become constant is the same as the arrival time T.

Then, when the vane 131 passes through the second angular position θ2, the movement of the vane 131 in the axial direction Z is stopped at the inflection point from the front convex surface 103b to the second front flat surface 102, so that the vane 131 is constant. Positive acceleration occurs. After that, since the vane 131 moves from the second angle position θ2 to the second intermediate angle position θ02, the vane 131 accelerates to zero at a constant speed after passing through the second angle position θ2. Therefore, the acceleration generated when passing through the second variation angle position θM2 which is the boundary between the front inclined surface 104 and the front convex surface 103b and the second angle position θ2 which is the boundary between the front convex surface 103b and the second front flat surface 102. A constant negative acceleration is generated on the front convex surface 103b while canceling out the acceleration generated when passing through.

Since the vane 131 passes through the second front flat surface 102, the vane 131 does not move in the axial direction Z. Therefore, the velocity of the vane 131 is zero and the acceleration is zero. The time required for the vane 131 from negative acceleration to zero acceleration is the same as the arrival time T. As a result, the displacement pattern of the acceleration from the front inclined surface 104 to the front convex surface 103b and reaching the second front flat surface 102 is represented by the rectangular shape shown in FIG.

The time when the vane 131 passes through the front concave surface 103a and the positive acceleration is constant is the same as the time when the vane 131 passes through the front convex surface 103b and the negative acceleration is constant. Therefore, the displacement pattern of the acceleration from the first front flat surface 101 through the front concave surface 103a to reach the front inclined surface 104 and the second front flat surface 102 from the front inclined surface 104 through the front convex surface 103b. The displacement pattern of the acceleration until it reaches is represented by a rectangular shape having the same area, although it is positive and negative. That is, the accelerations that occur before and after the vane 131 passes through the front inclined surface 104 are offset.

As shown in FIG. 9, when the vane 131 passes through the second front flat surface 102 from the second intermediate angle position θ02 to the second angle position θ2, the vane 131 passes through the second front flat surface 102. There is no movement of the vane 131 in the axial direction Z. Therefore, the velocity of the vane 131 is zero and the acceleration is zero.

When the vane 131 passes through the second angular position θ2, the vane 131 starts moving in the axial direction Z at the inflection point from the second front flat surface 102 to the front convex surface 103b, so that it has a constant negative value. Acceleration occurs. After that, the vane 131 passes through the front convex surface 103b under a constant acceleration with equal acceleration. The acceleration generated when the vane 131 passes through the front convex surface 103b is negative. In other words, it can be said that the acceleration generated when the vane 131 passes through the front convex surface 103b is "negative". The time required for the negative acceleration of the vane 131 to become constant is the same as the arrival time T.

When the vane 131 passes through the second inflection angle position θM2, a constant positive acceleration is generated as the vane 131 changes from the front convex surface 103b to the front inclined surface 104. However, since the front inclined surface 104 is inclined at a constant inclination angle, the vane 131 accelerates to zero at a constant speed after passing through the second inflection angle position θM2. Therefore, the acceleration generated when passing through the second angle position θ2 which is the boundary between the second front flat surface 102 and the front convex surface 103b and the second bending angle position θM2 which is the boundary between the front convex surface 103b and the front inclined surface 104. A constant negative acceleration is generated on the front convex surface 103b while canceling out the acceleration generated when passing through.

The time required for the vane 131 from negative acceleration to zero acceleration is the same as the arrival time T. As a result, the displacement pattern of the acceleration from the second front flat surface 102 to the front inclined surface 104 through the front convex surface 103b is represented by the rectangular shape shown in FIG.

Further, when the vane 131 passes through the front inclined surface 104 and passes through the first inflection angle position θM1, a constant positive acceleration is generated due to the change from the front inclined surface 104 to the front concave surface 103a. After that, the vane 131 passes through the front concave surface 103a under a constant acceleration with equal acceleration. The acceleration generated when the vane 131 passes through the front concave surface 103a is positive. In other words, it can be said that the acceleration generated when the vane 131 passes through the front concave surface 103a is "positive". Further, the time required for the positive acceleration of the vane 131 to become constant is the same as the arrival time T.

Then, when the vane 131 passes through the first angular position θ1, the movement of the vane 131 in the axial direction Z is stopped at the inflection point from the front concave surface 103a to the first front flat surface 101, so that the vane 131 is constant. Negative acceleration occurs. After that, since the vane 131 moves from the first angle position θ1 to the first intermediate angle position θ01, the vane 131 accelerates to zero at a constant speed after passing through the first angle position θ1. Therefore, the acceleration generated when passing through the first bending angle position θM1 which is the boundary between the front inclined surface 104 and the front concave surface 103a and the first angle position θ1 which is the boundary between the front concave surface 103a and the first front flat surface 101. A constant positive acceleration is generated on the front concave surface 103a while canceling out the acceleration generated when passing through.

After that, since the vane 131 passes through the first front flat surface 101 from the first angle position θ1 to the first intermediate angle position θ01, the vane 131 does not move in the axial direction Z. Therefore, the velocity of the vane 131 is zero and the acceleration is zero. The time required for the vane 131 from positive acceleration to zero acceleration is the same as the arrival time T. As a result, the displacement pattern of the acceleration from the front inclined surface 104 to the front concave surface 103a and reaching the first front flat surface 101 is represented by the rectangular shape shown in FIG. 8 or FIG.

The time when the negative acceleration is constant when the vane 131 passes through the front convex surface 103b is the same as the time when the positive acceleration is constant when the vane 131 passes through the front concave surface 103a. Therefore, the displacement pattern of the acceleration from the second front flat surface 102 through the front convex surface 103b to reach the front inclined surface 104, and from the front inclined surface 104 through the front concave surface 103a to the first front flat surface 101. The displacement pattern of the acceleration until it reaches is represented by a rectangular shape having the same area, although it is positive and negative. That is, the accelerations that occur before and after the vane 131 passes through the front inclined surface 104 are offset.

As shown in FIG. 8 or 9, when one vane 131 makes one rotation of the fixed body surface 100 from the first intermediate angle position θ01 of the first front flat surface 101, paying attention to the acceleration of the vane 131, one piece The vane 131 moves at an acceleration of "positive"-> "zero"-> "negative"-> "negative"-> "zero"-> "positive".

The one vane 131 does not accelerate by passing through the front inclined surface 104, but the front inclined surface 104 has the first front flat surface 101 and the front concave surface 103a, the front convex surface 103b, and the second front flat surface 102. Since it is located between, the graph of acceleration when the vane 131 passes from the first intermediate angle position θ01 to the second intermediate angle position θ02 shows a region of zero acceleration, that is, a reciprocity across the front inclined surface 104. It is expressed in the direction of Then, the graph sandwiching the region of zero acceleration is represented as point symmetry centered on the middle of the region of zero acceleration. With the front fixed body surface 100 having such a configuration, it can be said that the accelerations can be canceled out to zero while one vane 131 passes through the front fixed body surface 100.

In the present embodiment, the three vanes 131 are moving at the same time while maintaining a state in which the front fixed body surface 100 is shifted by 120 °. The vane 131 that starts moving from the first intermediate angle position θ01 of the first front flat surface 101 is defined as the first vane 131a, and the vane 131 is located at a position shifted forward by 120 ° in the rotation direction M with respect to the first vane 131a. Is the second vane 131b, and the vane 131 located at a position shifted forward by 240 ° in the rotation direction M with respect to the first vane 131a is the third vane 131c. In FIG. 10, the acceleration of the first vane 131a is shown by a solid line, the acceleration of the second vane 131b is shown by a long-dashed line, and the acceleration of the third vane 131c is shown by a long-dashed line.

FIG. 10 shows the displacement of the acceleration of each vane 131 until the first to third vanes 131a to 131c rotate 360 ° from the first intermediate angle position θ01. As shown in FIG. 10, the first vane 131a moves while generating an acceleration of “positive” → “zero” → “negative” → “negative” → “zero” → “positive”. The second vane 131b moves while generating an acceleration of “negative” → “negative” → “zero” → “positive” → “positive” → “zero”. The third vane 131c moves while generating an acceleration of “zero” → “positive” → “positive” → “zero” → “zero” → “positive”.

When the first vane 131a passes through the front concave surface 103a of one front cam surface 103, the second vane 131b passes through the front convex surface 103b of one front cam surface 103 and the third vane 131c. Passes through the other front inclined surface 104. Therefore, the accelerations of the three vanes 131 become "positive", "negative", and "zero", and are canceled in total. Alternatively, when the first vane 131a passes through the front convex surface 103b of one front cam surface 103, the second vane 131b passes through the other front inclined surface 104 and the third vane 131c Passes through the front concave surface 103a of one front cam surface 103. Therefore, the accelerations of the three vanes 131 become "negative", "zero", and "positive", and are canceled in total.

In this way, the inclination of the front cam surface 103 is adjusted so that the acceleration of the three vanes 131 always takes a combination of "positive", "negative", and "zero". The rear inclined surface 124 is also provided on the rear cam surface 123. Since the specific configuration of the rear cam surface 123 including the rear inclined surface 124 is basically the same as that of the front cam surface 103 including the front inclined surface 104, detailed description thereof will be omitted. Further, "front" in the above description of the front cam surface 103 and the front inclined surface 104 may be read as "rear".

Next, the configuration related to the suction of the suction fluid and the discharge of the compressed fluid into the compression chambers A4 and A5 will be described. Note that FIGS. 13, 14, 15, 17, and 18 schematically show the rotating body 60, the fixed bodies 90, 110, the vane 131, and the ports 140, 145, 150, and 155, and each retainer 147. , 157 are omitted.

As shown in FIG. 2 or 4, the compressor 10 includes a suction communication port 221 for sucking the suction fluid into the storage chamber A3. In the present embodiment, the compressor 10 includes a plurality of suction communication ports 221. The suction communication port 221 is formed in, for example, the rear housing 22, and specifically extends in the axial direction Z so as to straddle both the rear housing bottom portion 23 and the rear housing side wall portion 24. The suction communication port 221 is open to the motor chamber A2 and is open to the accommodation chamber A3. The motor chamber A2 and the accommodation chamber A3 are communicated with each other by the suction communication port 221.

The suction fluid sucked (in other words, introduced) from the suction port 11a into the motor chamber A2 is sucked into the accommodation chamber A3 (in other words, introduced) through the suction communication port 221. That is, the suction fluid exists in the accommodation chamber A3. That is, it can be said that the accommodation chamber A3 forms a part of the suction chamber into which the suction fluid is sucked.

The compressor 10 includes a front suction port 140 as a suction passage for sucking the suction fluid into the front compression chamber A4. The front suction port 140 communicates the motor chamber A2 and the front compression chamber A4 by penetrating the bottom 23 of the rear housing and the front fixing body 90 in the axial direction Z.

Specifically, the front suction port 140 has a bottom suction hole 141 penetrating the bottom 23 of the rear housing in the axial direction Z, and a front fixed body suction hole 142 penetrating the front fixing body 90 in the axial direction Z. There is. The bottom suction hole 141 and the front fixed body suction hole 142 overlap in the axial direction Z and communicate with each other. The bottom suction hole 141 is formed in the same fan shape as the front fixed body suction hole 142 in the radial direction R and the circumferential direction.

As shown in FIG. 13, when the vane 131 moves from the second front flat surface 102 in the rotation direction M, the front contact portion Pf and the vane 131 start to form the first front compression chamber A4a. The front fixed body suction hole 142 is provided on the front side in the rotation direction M with respect to the second front flat surface 102. In the present embodiment, the front fixed body suction hole 142 extends in the circumferential direction at the front cam surface 103 on the front side in the rotation direction M with respect to the second front flat surface 102.

As shown in FIG. 11, the front fixed body suction hole 142 of the present embodiment has, for example, an oval shape in which the circumferential direction is the longitudinal direction and the radial direction R is the lateral direction. The front fixed body suction hole 142 is formed between both ends of the front fixed body surface 100 in the radial direction R, and the front fixed body surface 100 exists on both sides of the front fixed body suction hole 142 in the radial direction R. .. As a result, both ends of the vane 131 in the radial direction R passing over the front suction port 140 (specifically, the front fixed body suction hole 142) are supported by the front fixed body surface 100. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the vane 131 from sinking into the front suction port 140.

In the present embodiment, the front fixed body suction hole 142 extends in the rotation direction M from the angle position on the front side of the rotation direction M with respect to the front contact portion Pf. The front fixed body suction hole 142 has an arc shape when viewed from the axial direction Z, and the circumferential length of the front fixed body suction hole 142 is, for example, less than or equal to the circumferential length of each of the front compression chambers A4a to A4c. Yes, in this embodiment, it is shorter than the circumferential length of each of the front compression chambers A4a to A4c. That is, the circumferential length of the front fixed body suction hole 142 is shorter than the distance between the vanes 131, in other words, the angle range in which the front fixed body suction hole 142 is formed is smaller than 120 °.

The front fixed body suction hole 142 of the present embodiment is formed inside the radial R of the front fixed body outer peripheral surface 92 so as not to be arranged at the portion outside the radial direction R with respect to the ring outer peripheral surface 70a.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 6 or 13, the compressor 10 opens and closes a front discharge port 145 that discharges the compressed fluid compressed in the front compression chamber A4 to the discharge recess 71, and a front that opens and closes the front discharge port 145. It includes a discharge valve 146 and a front retainer 147 that adjusts the opening degree of the front discharge valve 146. Note that FIG. 13 schematically shows the front discharge port 145, the rotating body ring portion 70, and the vane 131, and the front retainer 147 is not shown. The front discharge port 145 communicates with the front compression chamber A4 and the discharge recess 71 by opening the front rotating body surface 71a.

The front discharge port 145 is provided in the rotating body ring portion 70. The front discharge port 145 communicates the front rotating body surface 71a and the front inner surface 71b in the axial direction Z. The front discharge port 145 communicates the front compression chamber A4 with each discharge recess 71 by penetrating the rotating body ring portion 70 in the axial direction Z.

In the present embodiment, a plurality of front discharge ports 145 are provided in the rotating body ring portion 70, and are arranged in the circumferential direction of the rotating body ring portion 70. Each of the plurality of front discharge ports 145 is circular. However, the shape of the front discharge port 145 is arbitrary. For example, the front discharge port 145 may have an oval shape or the like. In a configuration in which a plurality of front discharge ports 145 are provided, the sizes of the front discharge ports 145 may be the same or different.

In the present embodiment, the front discharge port 145 is arranged adjacent to the vane groove 130 on the front side in the rotation direction M. Further, the front discharge port 145 is provided in the rotating body ring portion 70 with a certain distance in the rotation direction of the rotating body ring portion 70 with respect to the vane groove 130. Therefore, the front discharge port 145 and the vane groove 130 rotate while maintaining a state of being spaced apart in the circumferential direction as the rotating body 60 rotates. The front compression chambers A4a to A4c are always in communication with the front discharge port 145 as the rotating body 60 rotates.

Here, focusing on the relationship between the suction / compression in the front compression chamber A4 and the front contact portion Pf, as shown in FIG. 11, in the space on the front side in the rotation direction M with respect to the front contact portion Pf, While the suction fluid is always sucked, the fluid is always compressed in the space on the rear side in the rotation direction M with respect to the front contact portion Pf. That is, the front compression chamber A4 is provided on the front side of the rotation direction M with respect to the front contact portion Pf, and is in the rotation direction M with respect to the suction space Sf1 in which the suction fluid is sucked and the front contact portion Pf. It includes a compression space Sf2 provided on the rear side and where fluid is compressed. Then, the front discharge port 145 discharges the compressed fluid compressed in the compression space Sf2 to the discharge recess 71 in the rotating body ring portion 70 by opening to the front rotating body surface 71a. As a result, the compressed fluid compressed in the front compression chamber A4 is introduced into the discharge recess 71.

In the present embodiment, the suction space Sf1 is composed of the first front compression chamber A4a when the vane 131 is in contact with the second front flat surface 102, and the vane 131 is in contact with the second front flat surface 102. If not, it is composed of a first front compression chamber A4a and a space on the front side in the rotation direction M with respect to the front contact portion Pf in the second front compression chamber A4b. The suction space Sf1 gradually widens in the axial direction Z as the distance from the front contact portion Pf in the circumferential direction increases. The volume of the suction space Sf1 increases with the rotation of the vane 131.

Focusing on the relationship with the suction space Sf1, at least a part of the front fixed body suction hole 142 is provided on the front side in the rotation direction M with respect to the front contact portion Pf so as to communicate with the suction space Sf1. It can be said that there is.

The compression space Sf2 is composed of a second front compression chamber A4b, and more specifically, is a space on the rear side of the front contact portion Pf in the second front compression chamber A4b in the rotation direction M. In other words, the compression space Sf2 is a space surrounded by a vane 131 that separates the second front compression chamber A4b and the third front compression chamber A4c and the front contact portion Pf.

Incidentally, regardless of the position (phase) of the vane 131, the compression space Sf2 and the suction space Sf1 are sealed by the front contact portion Pf. As a result, leakage of the compressed fluid from the compressed space Sf2 to the suction space Sf1 is regulated. That is, the front contact portion Pf functions as a sealing portion that regulates the movement of the fluid from the compression space Sf2 to the suction space Sf1.

In the present embodiment, since the circumferential length of the second front compression chamber A4b is longer than the circumferential length of the second front flat surface 102, the second front compression chamber A4b has the suction space Sf1 and the suction space Sf1 depending on the phase. Both of the compressed spaces Sf2 may be configured.

As shown in FIG. 1, the front discharge valve 146 and the front retainer 147 are provided on the front inner surface 71b. The front discharge valve 146 is provided in the discharge recess 71 and opens and closes the front discharge port 145. The front discharge valve 146 and the front retainer 147 are fixed to the rotating body ring portion 70 by being screwed to the front inner surface 71b with the bolt B penetrating both the front discharge valve 146 and the front retainer 147. ..

The front discharge valve 146 has a long plate shape in which the first end portion in the longitudinal direction is fixed to the front inner surface 71b and the front discharge port 145 is opened and closed at the second end portion in the longitudinal direction. The length of the front discharge valve 146 extends along the circumferential direction of the rotating body ring portion 70. It can be said that the front discharge valve 146 is housed in the discharge recess 71 because its length extends in the circumferential direction.

The front discharge valve 146 normally closes the front discharge port 145, and opens when the pressure in the second front compression chamber A4b (specifically, the compression space Sf2) exceeds the threshold value to block the front discharge port 145. To the state where the front discharge port 145 is opened. As a result, the compressed fluid compressed in the front compression chamber A4 is discharged into the discharge recess 71. In this case, the opening angle of the front discharge valve 146 is regulated by the front retainer 147.

As shown in FIG. 2 or 13, the compressor 10 includes a discharge groove 69 for discharging the compressed fluid remaining in the compression space Sf2 of the second front compression chamber A4b from the compression space Sf2 to the vane groove 130. There is. The discharge groove 69 is formed on the front rotating body surface 71a. The discharge groove 69 communicates with the front discharge port 145 and the vane groove 130 adjacent to the rear side of the front discharge port 145 in the rotation direction M.

As shown in FIG. 12, similarly to the front compression chamber A4, the rear compression chamber A5 has the first rear compression chamber A5a and the rear side of the rotation direction M with respect to the first rear compression chamber A5a by the three vanes 131. It is partitioned into a second rear compression chamber A5b arranged in the first rear compression chamber A5a and a third rear compression chamber A5c arranged in the front side in the rotation direction M with respect to the first rear compression chamber A5a.

Further, the rear compression chamber A5 has a suction space Sr1 provided on the front side in the rotation direction M with respect to the rear contact portion Pr and a compression space Sr2 provided on the rear side in the rotation direction M with respect to the rear contact portion Pr. And, including. The suction fluid is sucked into the suction space Sr1, and the fluid is compressed in the compression space Sr2.

The first rear compression chamber A5a, the second rear compression chamber A5b, and the third rear compression chamber A5c are the same as the first front compression chamber A4a, the second front compression chamber A4b, and the third front compression chamber A4c, and have a rear suction space. Since Sr1 and the rear compression space Sr2 are the same as the front suction space Sf1 and the front compression space Sf2, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 12, the compressor 10 includes a rear suction port 150 as a suction passage for sucking the suction fluid into the rear compression chamber A5. Specifically, the rear suction port 150 has a peripheral suction hole 151 that opens to the outer peripheral surface 112 of the rear fixed body and communicates with the accommodation chamber A3, and the peripheral suction hole 151 that communicates with the peripheral suction hole 151 inside the rear fixed body 110. It has a rear fixed body suction hole 152 that penetrates the rear fixed body 110 in the axial direction Z.

The peripheral suction hole 151 is opened to the accommodation chamber A3 at the rear fixed body outer peripheral surface 112. The peripheral suction hole 151 extends in the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface 112 of the rear fixed body. The rear fixed body suction hole corresponds to the movement of the vane 131 from the second rear flat surface 122 in the rotation direction M so that the first rear compression chamber A5a is formed by the rear contact portion Pr and the vane 131. The 152 is provided on the front side in the rotation direction M with respect to the second rear flat surface 122. In the present embodiment, the rear fixed body suction hole 152 extends in the circumferential direction at the rear cam surface 123 on the front side in the rotation direction M with respect to the second rear flat surface 122.

The rear fixed body suction hole 152 of the present embodiment has, for example, an oval shape in which the circumferential direction is the longitudinal direction and the radial direction R is the lateral direction. The rear fixed body suction hole 152 is formed between both ends of the rear fixed body surface 120 in the radial direction R, and the rear fixed body surface 120 exists on both sides of the rear fixed body suction hole 152 in the radial direction R. .. As a result, both ends of the vane 131 in the radial direction R passing over the rear suction port 150 (specifically, the rear fixed body suction hole 152) are supported by the rear fixed body surface 120. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the vane 131 from sinking into the rear suction port 150.

In the present embodiment, the rear fixed body suction hole 152 has an arc shape when viewed from the axial direction Z, and the circumferential length of the rear fixed body suction hole 152 is, for example, the circumferential direction of each of the rear compression chambers A5a to A5c. In this embodiment, it is shorter than the circumferential length of each of the rear compression chambers A5a to A5c. That is, the circumferential length of the rear fixed body suction hole 152 is shorter than the distance between the vanes 131, in other words, the angle range in which the rear fixed body suction hole 152 is formed is smaller than 120 °.

The rear fixed body suction hole 152 is provided in a portion on the front side in the rotation direction M with respect to the rear contact portion Pr. Here, as described above, since both the contact points Pf and Pr are displaced in the circumferential direction, the suction holes 142 and 152 of both fixed bodies are also arranged so as to be displaced in the circumferential direction. In the present embodiment, the suction holes 142 and 152 of both fixed bodies are arranged so as to be offset by 180 °.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 12 or 13, the compressor 10 opens and closes a rear discharge port 155 that discharges the compressed fluid compressed in the rear compression chamber A5 into the discharge recess 71, and a rear that opens and closes the rear discharge port 155. It includes a discharge valve 156 and a rear retainer 157 that adjusts the opening degree of the rear discharge valve 156. The rear discharge port 155 is formed at a position facing the front discharge port 145 in the axial direction Z with the discharge recess 71 sandwiched in the axial direction Z.

The specific configurations of the rear discharge port 155, the rear discharge valve 156, and the rear retainer 157 are basically the front discharge port 145, the front discharge valve 146, and the front retainer 147, except that the positions where they are provided are different. Since it is the same as the above, a detailed description will be omitted. Further, "front" in the description of the front discharge port 145, the front discharge valve 146 and the front retainer 147 described above may be read as "rear".

As shown in FIG. 3 or 13, the compressor 10 includes a discharge groove 69 for discharging the compressed fluid remaining in the compression space Sf2 of the second rear compression chamber A5b from the compression space Sf2 to the vane groove 130. There is. The discharge groove 69 is formed on the rear rotating body surface 72a. The discharge groove 69 communicates with the rear discharge port 155 and the vane groove 130 adjacent to the rear side of the rear discharge port 155 in the rotation direction M.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the compressor 10 is provided in the rotating shaft 12 and the rotating body 60, and includes a discharge mechanism 170 that connects the discharge recess 71 and the discharge chamber A1.
The discharge mechanism 170 is provided in the rotating shaft 12 and the rotating body 60, and communicates the discharge recess 71 with the discharge chamber A1. The discharge mechanism 170 includes an in-axis passage 171 formed on the rotating shaft 12 as a passage forming shaft member, and a communication hole 172. The in-shaft passage 171 is a passage formed by a part of the rotating shaft 12 having a hollow shape. The in-shaft passage 171 is open to the end face of the rotating shaft 12 in the axial direction Z. The in-shaft passage 171 extends in the axial direction Z so as to be arranged inside the radial direction R of each discharge recess 71.

The communication hole 172 communicates the discharge recess 71 with the in-shaft passage 171 by penetrating the rotating shaft 12 in the radial direction R. A part opening 172a for communicating the discharge recess 71 and the communication hole 172 is formed on the outer peripheral surface 62 of the cylinder portion. The part opening 172a is formed in a region of the outer peripheral surface 62 of the tubular portion for partitioning the discharge recess 71. That is, the part opening 172a is open to the discharge recess 71. The communication hole 172 is a through hole that extends inward in the radial direction R from the part opening 172a and thus penetrates the rotating body cylinder portion 61 and the rotating shaft 12 in the radial direction R.

Therefore, the rotating shaft 12 is inserted into the rotating body cylinder portion 61 and rotates integrally with the rotating body cylinder portion 61, and extends in the axial direction Z and communicates with the discharge chamber A1. It can be said that the shaft has a communication hole 172 for communicating the in-shaft passage 171 and the discharge recess 71.

In the present embodiment, a plurality of communication holes 172 are provided, and more specifically, they are provided at positions shifted by 120 ° in the circumferential direction of the rotating body cylinder portion 61. The compressed fluid that has flowed into each discharge recess 71 is introduced into the discharge chamber A1 via the part opening 172a, the communication hole 172, and the in-shaft passage 171. Further, in the present embodiment, the plurality of communication holes 172 are arranged in parallel in the circumferential direction of the rotating body 60 without being displaced from each other in the axial direction Z. Each discharge recess 71 communicates with the in-shaft passage 171 via a communication hole 172.

As shown in FIG. 13 or FIG. 14, the compressed fluid compressed in the second front compression chamber A4b pushes away the front discharge valve 146 and is discharged from the front discharge port 145 to the discharge recess 71. Further, the compressed fluid compressed in the second rear compression chamber A5b pushes the rear discharge valve 156 away from the discharge recess 71 having a phase shifted by 180 ° from the discharge recess 71 in which the compressed fluid is discharged, and discharges the rear. It is discharged from port 155.

Then, the compressed fluid introduced into the discharge recess 71 is introduced into the in-shaft passage 171 through the part opening 172a and the communication hole 172, and is introduced into the discharge chamber A1 through the in-shaft passage 171. Therefore, the compressed fluid compressed in the front compression chamber A4 and the compressed fluid compressed in the rear compression chamber A5 are introduced into the discharge chamber A1 through a discharge path having the same length. ing.

As shown in FIG. 2, the vane 131 of the present embodiment is composed of a plurality of parts. Specifically, the vane 131 includes a vane body 132 inserted into the vane groove 130 and two tip seals 133 attached to both ends of the vane body 132 in the axial direction Z. Both tip seals 133 form both ends of the vane 131 in the axial direction Z, and the tip seals 133 come into contact with the fixed body surfaces 100 and 120.

When the rotating shaft 12 is rotated by the electric motor 13, the rotating body 60 rotates accordingly. As a result, the plurality of vanes 131 rotate while moving in the axial direction Z along both the fixed body surfaces 100 and 120 while maintaining their circumferential positions.

For example, in FIGS. 13 and 14, the plurality of vanes 131 move downward while moving in the left-right direction of the paper surface. As a result, volume changes occur in the front compression chambers A4a to A4c and the rear compression chambers A5a to A5c, and the fluid is sucked or compressed. That is, it can be said that the vane 131 rotates while moving in the axial direction Z to suck and compress the fluid in both the compression chambers A4 and A5.

Specifically, in the space on the front side in the rotation direction M from the front contact portion Pf in the second front compression chamber A4b and the first front compression chamber A4a, the volume increases and the suction fluid is sucked from the port 140. It is said.

On the other hand, in the compression space Sf2 and the third front compression chamber A4c, which are spaces on the rear side in the rotation direction M from the front contact portion Pf in the second front compression chamber A4b, the volumes decrease as the rotating body 60 rotates. Then, the suction fluid is compressed. Specifically, the suction fluid is compressed in the third front compression chamber A4c, and the fluid compressed in the third front compression chamber A4c is further compressed in the compression space Sf2.

Then, as shown in FIG. 15, when the pressure in the compression space Sf2 exceeds the threshold value, the front discharge valve 146 is opened, and the compressed fluid compressed in the compression space Sf2 is discharged via the front discharge port 145. It flows to 71. The compressed fluid flowing through the discharge recess 71 flows into the discharge chamber A1 via the part opening 172a, the communication hole 172, and the in-shaft passage 171. The same applies to the rear compression chamber A5.

In the compressor 10, the vane 131 on the rear side in the rotation direction M with respect to the front contact portion Pf is referred to as the rear vane 131. As the rear vane 131 approaches the front contact point Pf as the rotating body 60 rotates, the front discharge port 145 located on the front side in the rotation direction M from the rear vane 131 also approaches the front contact point Pf. go. Then, when the pressure in the compression space Sf2 exceeds the threshold value, the front discharge valve 146 is opened.

When the pressure in the compression space Sf2 becomes less than the threshold value, the front discharge valve 146 closes. Then, within a predetermined angle range, the front discharge port 145 is closed by the second front flat surface 102. At this time, the front discharge port 145 is closed by the front discharge valve 146 and the second front flat surface 102, and the compressed fluid is confined in the front discharge port 145.

The compressor 10 includes a front discharge mechanism for discharging the compressed fluid confined in the front discharge port 145 to the third front compression chamber A4c.
As shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 11, the front discharge mechanism has a front communication passage 105 of the front fixed body 90 and a front communication recess 34 provided in the cylinder 30. The front communication recess 34 is formed on the inner peripheral surface 31 of the cylinder. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, front communication recesses 34 are provided at three positions at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface 31 of the cylinder.

Since the cylinder 30 and the rotating body 60 rotate integrally, the positional relationship between the vane 131 and the front discharge port 145 and the front communication recess 34 in the circumferential direction is always constant. Specifically, the front communication recess 34 is arranged on the front side in the rotation direction M with respect to the vane 131, and is arranged so that a part of the front communication recess 34 is located on the front side in the rotation direction M with respect to the front discharge port 145. The front communication recess 34 has a rectangular shape that is long in the axial direction Z when viewed from the inside in the radial direction R. The front communication recess 34 rotates as the cylinder 30 rotates.

As shown in FIGS. 15 to 17, a part of the front communication recess 34 on the bottom 23 side of the rear housing is always covered with the outer peripheral surface 92 of the front fixed body. On the other hand, a part of the front communication recess 34 on the rotating body 60 side is exposed in the front compression chamber A4 beyond the front fixed body surface 100 in the axial direction Z toward the rotating body 60 side within the predetermined communication angle range H1. .. Specifically, the front communication recess 34 is exposed to the front compression chamber A4 on both the front side and the rear side of the rotation direction M with respect to the first front flat surface 101 and within the communication angle range H1, and the front compression chamber A4. Communicate with.

On the other hand, except for the communication angle range H1 from the rear side to the front side in the rotation direction M across the second front flat surface 102, the front communication recess 34 faces the outer peripheral surface 92 of the front fixed body, and front compression is performed. There is no communication with room A4. That is, the front communication recess 34 is in a non-communication state with the front compression chamber A4 except for the communication angle range H1, and is in a communication state with the front compression chamber A4 within the communication angle range H1. Further, the front communication recess 34 is closed by the outer peripheral surface 92 of the front fixed body so as not to communicate with the compression space Sf2 as the rotating body 60 rotates.

As shown in FIGS. 11 and 17, when the front communication recess 34 is located in the communication angle range H1 on the rear side in the rotation direction M with respect to the second front flat surface 102, the front communication recess 34 is connected to the front communication recess 34. The exit 105a of the passage 105 communicates. The entrance 105b of the front passage 105 is open to the second front flat surface 102. At this time, the inlet 105b is opened at the first intermediate angle position θ01, which is the intermediate point in the rotation direction M, of the second front flat surface 102.

Further, the inlet 105b has a long hole shape in front view when the inlet 105b is viewed from a direction orthogonal to the second front flat surface 102. The length of the inlet 105b extends in a direction intersecting the radial direction R. Further, the inlet 105b is arranged closer to the outer peripheral surface 92 of the front fixed body in the radial direction R on the second front flat surface 102. At the inlet 105b, the opening area at the second front flat surface 102 is smaller than the opening area at the front rotating body surface 71a at the front discharge port 145.

The inlet 105b of the front passage 105 is provided at a position facing the front discharge port 145 in the axial direction Z. While the rotating body 60 is rotating in the rotation direction M, a part of the openings of the front discharge port 145 near the ring outer peripheral surface 70a in the radial direction R overlaps the inlet 105b in the axial direction Z. ing.

Further, when at least a part of the front discharge port 145 faces the inlet 105b, the front communication passage 105 and the front communication recess 34 are formed so that the outlet 105a of the front communication passage 105 faces the front communication recess 34. .. Therefore, the front communication recess 34 is along the axial direction Z so that when the inlet 105b communicates with the front discharge port 145, the outlet 105a communicates with the compression space Sf2 in a non-communication state with the front suction port 140. It extends from the outlet 105a to a position extending to the compression space Sf2 beyond the front fixed body surface 100.

According to such a configuration, the compressed fluid is discharged from the front discharge port 145 to the front passage 105 via the inlet 105b. The outlet 105a is formed at a position deviated from the inlet 105b by an angle smaller than 120 ° toward the rear side in the rotation direction M. That is, when the vane 131 is located on the inlet 105b, the outlet 105a is located on the front side in the rotation direction M with respect to the vane 131 that separates the vane 131 on the second front flat surface 102 and the third front compression chamber A4c. Is formed in.

In this case, a part of the front discharge port 145 that opens in the second front compression chamber A4b communicates with the inlet 105b of the front communication passage 105. Therefore, the front communication recess 34 communicates with the third front compression chamber A4c on the rear side in the rotation direction M from the second front compression chamber A4b. That is, when a part of the front discharge port 145 faces the inlet 105b of the front communication passage 105, the outlet 105a of the front communication passage 105 communicates with the third front compression chamber A4c in which suction is completed. In this case, the outlet 105a of the front communication passage 105 communicates with the compression space Sf2 of the third front compression chamber A4c, and does not communicate with the suction spaces Sf1 of the first and second front compression chambers A4a and A4b.

Therefore, the front communication recess 34 is in an open state in which the outlet 105a of the front communication passage 105 from which the compressed fluid is discharged communicates with the front suction port 140 to the third front compression chamber A4c as a compression space in a non-communication state. take. In addition, the front communication recess 34 is otherwise closed so that it does not communicate with the front compression chamber A4. Specifically, the front communication recess 34 functions as an on-off valve that can take an open state in which the outlet 105a of the front communication passage 105 communicates with the third front compression chamber A4c and a closed state in which the outlet 105a does not communicate with the front compression chamber A4. That is, the outlet 105a of the front communication passage 105 intermittently communicates with the compression space Sf2 in a non-communication state with the front suction port 140 as the rotating body 60 rotates.

As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the inlet 105b is closed by the front rotating body surface 71a from the time when the front discharge port 145 starts to face the second front flat surface 102 until it faces the inlet 105b. After that, as the rotating body 60 rotates in the rotation direction M, when a part of the front discharge port 145 faces the entrance 105b of the front communication passage 105, the entrance 105b of the front communication passage 105 is opened and becomes the front discharge port 145. Communicate. Further, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, when the front discharge port 145 exceeds the inlet 105b as the rotating body 60 rotates in the rotation direction M, the inlet 105b is closed again by the front rotating body surface 71a. Therefore, the inlet 105b of the front communication passage 105 communicates with the front discharge port 145 from the state closed by the second front flat surface 102 as the front rotating body surface 71a moves with respect to the second front flat surface 102, and then the second. It is closed by the front flat surface 102. That is, the inlet 105b of the front communication passage 105 intermittently communicates with the front discharge port 145 as the rotating body 60 rotates.

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 15, the compressor 10 includes a rear discharge mechanism for discharging the compressed fluid confined in the rear discharge port 155 to the third rear compression chamber A5c. The rear discharge mechanism includes a rear communication passage 115 of the rear fixed body 110 and a rear communication recess 35 of the cylinder 30.

The specific configurations of the rear communication passage 115 and the rear communication recess 35 are basically the same as those of the front communication passage 105 and the front communication recess 34, except that the positions where they are provided are different. Explanation is omitted. Further, "front" in the description of the front communication passage 105 and the front communication recess 34 described above may be read as "rear".

The operation of the compressor 10 having the above configuration will be described.
When the rotating shaft 12 is rotated by the electric motor 13, the cylinder 30 and the rotating body 60 are integrally rotated accordingly. As a result, the plurality of vanes 131 rotate while moving in the axial direction Z along both the fixed body surfaces 100 and 120 while maintaining their circumferential positions. At the same time, the plurality of both discharge ports 145 and 155 rotate while maintaining their circumferential positions.

As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the plurality of vanes 131 move downward while moving in the left-right direction of the paper surface. As a result, volume changes occur in the front compression chambers A4a to A4c and the rear compression chambers A5a to A5c, and the fluid is sucked or compressed.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the volume increases in the space on the front side in the rotation direction M from the front contact portion Pf in the second front compression chamber A4b and in the first front compression chamber A4a. The suction fluid is sucked from the front suction port 140.

On the other hand, in the compression space Sf2 and the third front compression chamber A4c, which are spaces on the rear side in the rotation direction M from the front contact portion Pf in the second front compression chamber A4b, the volumes decrease as the rotating body 60 rotates. Then, the suction fluid is compressed.

Then, when the pressure in the compression space Sf2 in the second front compression chamber A4b exceeds the threshold value, the front discharge valve 146 is opened, and the compressed fluid compressed in the compression space Sf2 is discharged via the front discharge port 145. It flows to 71. The compressed fluid flowing into the discharge recess 71 flows into the in-shaft passage 171 through the part opening 172a and the communication hole 172, and flows into the discharge chamber A1 through the in-shaft passage 171.

After that, when the pressure in the compression space Sf2 drops below the threshold value, the front discharge valve 146 is closed, the front discharge port 145 is closed by the second front flat surface 102 and the front discharge valve 146, and the compressed fluid is connected to the front discharge port 145. Is trapped.

As shown in FIGS. 11 and 17, when a part of the front discharge port 145 communicates with the inlet 105b of the front communication passage 105 as the rotating body 60 rotates, the compressed fluid in the front discharge port 145 passes through the front communication passage. It is discharged to 105.

In the present embodiment, when a part of the front discharge port 145 communicates with the inlet 105b of the front communication passage 105, the outlet 105a of the front communication passage 105 communicates with the front communication recess 34, so that the water is discharged to the front communication passage 105. The compressed fluid is discharged to the third front compression chamber A4c via the front communication recess 34.

Further, a part of the compressed fluid in the front discharge port 145 is discharged to the vane groove 130 on the rear side in the rotation direction M from the front discharge port 145 via the discharge groove 69.
At a position 180 ° out of phase with the front contact point Pf, the space on the front side in the rotation direction M from the rear contact point Pr in the second rear compression chamber A5b and the first rear compression chamber A5a have different volumes. Incremental suction fluid is sucked from the rear suction port 150.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 17, in the compression space Sr2 and the third rear compression chamber A5c, which are spaces on the rear side in the rotation direction M from the rear contact portion Pr in the second rear compression chamber A5b, the rotating body 60 The volume decreases with rotation, and the suction fluid is compressed. Specifically, the suction fluid is compressed in the third rear compression chamber A5c, and the fluid compressed in the third rear compression chamber A5c is further compressed in the compression space Sr2.

Then, as shown in FIG. 18, when the pressure in the compression space Sr2 exceeds the threshold value, the rear discharge valve 156 is opened, and the compressed fluid compressed in the compression space Sr2 is discharged via the rear discharge port 155. It flows to 71. The compressed fluid flowing into the discharge recess 71 flows into the in-shaft passage 171 through the part opening 172a and the communication hole 172, and flows into the discharge chamber A1 through the in-shaft passage 171.

After that, when the pressure in the compression space Sr2 drops below the threshold value, the rear discharge valve 156 is closed, the rear discharge port 155 is closed by the second rear flat surface 122 and the rear discharge valve 156, and the compressed fluid is connected to the rear discharge port 155. Is trapped. Although not shown in detail, when the rear discharge port 155 communicates with the inlet 115b of the rear communication passage 115 as the rotating body 60 rotates, the compressed fluid trapped in the rear discharge port 155 is discharged to the rear communication passage 115. Will be done.

In the present embodiment, when the rear discharge port 155 communicates with the inlet 115b of the rear communication passage 115, the outlet 115a of the rear communication passage 115 communicates with the rear communication recess 35, so that the compression discharged to the rear communication passage 115 The fluid is discharged to the third rear compression chamber A5c through the rear communication recess 35.

Further, a part of the compressed fluid confined in the rear discharge port 155 is discharged to the vane groove 130 on the rear side in the rotation direction M from the rear discharge port 155 via the discharge groove 69.
According to the present embodiment described in detail above, the following effects are obtained.

(1-1) Since both discharge ports 145, 155 and vanes 131 are integrally provided on the rotating body ring portion 70, when the rotating body 60 rotates, both discharge ports 145, 155 and vanes 131 also rotate integrally. do. That is, the vane 131 maintains a certain distance from both discharge ports 145 and 155. Therefore, the vane 131 rotating together with the rotating body 60 does not pass through the discharge ports 145 and 155, and the compression spaces Sf2 and Sr2 and the suction spaces Sf1 and Sr1 of both the compression chambers A4 and A5 are the discharge ports 145 and 145. There is no communication across the vane 131 via 155. As a result, the compressed fluid compressed in the compression spaces Sf2 and Sr2 does not leak to the suction spaces Sf1 and Sr1 via the discharge ports 145 and 155, and the decrease in compression efficiency due to this leakage can be eliminated. ..

According to such a configuration, both discharge ports 145 and 155 can be made larger than the plate thickness of the vane 131, and the pressure loss at both discharge ports 145 and 155 can be reduced.
(1-2) Both discharge ports 145 and 155 are provided in the rotating body ring portion 70 and penetrate the rotating body ring portion 70 in the axial direction Z. Therefore, both discharge ports 145 and 155 face the compression chambers A4 and A5 in the axial direction Z, and the opening areas of both discharge ports 145 and 155 remain constant and small until they are closed by the flat surfaces 102 and 122. It doesn't become. For example, when there is a discharge port on the side surface of the cylinder 30, the discharge port also narrows as the compression spaces Sf2 and Sr2 narrow in the axial direction Z as the rotating body 60 rotates. Even if the compression spaces Sf2 and Sr2 become narrower in the axial direction Z as the rotating body 60 rotates, both discharge ports 145 and 155 do not become narrower. As a result, the decrease in the discharge efficiency of the compressed fluid by the discharge ports 145 and 155 is smaller than that in the case where the discharge port is provided on the side surface of the cylinder 30.

(1-3) The rotating body ring portion 70 is formed with a discharge groove 69 for communicating the discharge ports 145 and 155 with the vane groove 130. Then, the compressed fluid remaining in each of the discharge ports 145 and 155 can be discharged to the vane groove 130 via the discharge groove 69. As a result, the amount of the compressed fluid remaining in both discharge ports 145 and 155 can be suppressed from flowing into both suction spaces Sf1 and Sr1 beyond the contact points Pf and Pr, and the suction efficiency in both suction spaces Sf1 and Sr1 can be suppressed. Can be suppressed.

Since both discharge ports 145 and 155 and the vane groove 130 are integrally provided in the rotating body ring portion 70, both discharge ports 145 and 155 can be communicated with the vane groove 130 by the discharge groove 69. Therefore, the compressor 10 provided with the discharge groove 69 has a configuration that can be achieved only because the rotating body ring portion 70 is integrally provided with both discharge ports 145 and 155 and the vane groove 130.

(1-4) Three discharge recesses 71 are partitioned in the rotating body ring portion 70 of the rotating body 60, and three both discharge ports 145 and 155 are formed. Further, the rotating shaft 12 is formed with an in-shaft passage 171 and a communication hole 172, and the discharge recess 71 is formed in the discharge chamber through the part opening 172a of the rotating body cylinder portion 61 and the in-shaft passage 171 and the communication hole 172. It communicates with A1. Therefore, the compressed fluid compressed in both the compression chambers A4 and A5 passes through the rotating body ring portion 70 in the axial direction Z and flows into the discharge recess 71, and then is a part inside the radial direction R of the discharge recess 71. It flows into the discharge chamber A1 that has flowed through the opening 172a, the communication hole 172, and the in-shaft passage 171. Therefore, when the compressed fluid compressed in both the compression chambers A4 and A5 flows from the discharge recess 71 toward the outside in the radial direction R, that is, the discharge chamber A1 is formed outside the discharge recess 71 in the radial direction R. The compressor 10 can be miniaturized in the radial direction as compared with the case where the compressor 10 is used. That is, it is possible to suppress the increase in size of the compressor 10 in the radial direction.

(1-5) The compressed fluid compressed in the front compression chamber A4 passes through the front discharge port 145 in the axial direction Z and is discharged to the discharge recess 71, and the compressed fluid compressed in the rear compression chamber A5 is It passes through the rear discharge port 155 in the axial direction Z and is discharged to the discharge recess 71. That is, the length of the discharge path of the compressed fluid in the axial direction Z from both the compression chambers A4 and A5 to the discharge recess 71 is the same. For example, when the length of the discharge path in the axial direction Z from the front compression chamber A4 to the discharge recess 71 is different from the length of the discharge path in the axial direction Z from the rear compression chamber A5 to the discharge recess 71. Compared with the above, the discharge pulsation caused by the difference in the length of the discharge path can be eliminated.

(1-6) For example, when the compression spaces Sf2 and Sr2 are communicated to the discharge chamber A1 by separate passages, the discharge path from the compression space Sf2 of the front compression chamber A4 is the compression space of the rear compression chamber A5. It becomes longer than the discharge path from Sr2 and the pressure loss becomes large. However, in the present embodiment, the discharge recess 71 is provided at an intermediate position equidistant from the front compression space Sf2 and the rear compression space Sr2 in the axial direction Z. Therefore, the length of the discharge path from each of the compression spaces Sf2 and Sr2 to the discharge recess 71 is also the same, and it is possible to prevent the pressure loss from becoming large in one discharge path in the other discharge path.

(1-7) The discharge valves 146 and 156 extend in length along the circumferential direction of the rotating body ring portion 70. According to such a configuration, when the longitudinal lengths of the discharge valves 146 and 156 extend in the radial direction of the rotating body ring portion 70, the first end portions of the discharge valves 146 and 156 are fixed to the inner surface 71b in the discharge recess 71. In order to do so, the diameter of the rotating body ring portion 70 must be increased. However, by making the lengths of the discharge valves 146 and 156 along the circumferential direction of the rotating body ring portion 70, the diameter of the rotating body ring portion 70 increases even if the first end portion is fixed to the rotating body ring portion 70. You don't have to.

(1-8) On the fixed body surfaces 100 and 120, the first angular position θ1 and the first variable angle position θM1 are provided with the concave surfaces 103a and 123a sandwiched between them, and the second angular position θ2 is provided with the convex surfaces 103b and 123b interposed therebetween. By providing the second bending angle position θM2, the acceleration generated before and after the vane 131 passes through the inclined surfaces 104 and 124 can be offset. Then, by setting the acceleration to zero on the inclined surfaces 104 and 124, the acceleration can be reduced as a whole. Since the three vanes 131 rotate on the fixed body surfaces 100 and 120 in synchronization, the acceleration can be reduced for each of the three vanes 131, and the vibration caused by the acceleration can be suppressed as a whole. Specifically, inclined surfaces 104 and 124 are provided on both cam surfaces 103 and 123 to adjust the acceleration of the vanes 131, and the accelerations of the three vanes 131 always take a combination of "positive", "negative" and "zero". I did. Therefore, even if both fixed body surfaces 100 and 120 have flat surfaces and acceleration is generated, the accelerations of the three vanes 131 can be canceled each other. As a result, vibration and noise caused by acceleration can be reduced.

(1-9) Both fixed bodies 90 and 110 are provided with communication passages 105 and 115, and the cylinder 30 is provided with communication recesses 34 and 35. Then, in the state where the discharge valves 146 and 156 are closed, the compressed fluid in the discharge ports 145 and 155 can be discharged to the communication passages 105 and 115 via the inlets 105b and 115b of the communication passages 105 and 115. Then, the compressed fluid discharged into the communication passages 105 and 115 can be discharged to the compression spaces Sf2 and Sr2 in the non-communication state with respect to the suction ports 140 and 150 by the communication recesses 34 and 35. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the compressed fluid remaining in the discharge ports 145 and 155 from being discharged to the suction spaces Sf1 and Sr1 beyond the contact points Pf and Pr.

(1-10) For example, a case where a groove is dug in the inner peripheral surface 31 of the cylinder and the groove is closed by the outer peripheral surfaces 92 and 112 of the fixed body to form a continuous passage is taken as a comparative example. The inlet and outlet of the communication passage of the comparative example are configured by a groove opening from the inner peripheral surface 31 of the cylinder to the compression spaces Sf2 and Sr2. In this comparative example, the compressed fluid flows from the compressed spaces Sf2 and Sr2 to the inlet, but the compressed fluid may leak from between the cylinder inner peripheral surface 31 and the fixed body outer peripheral surfaces 92 and 112, which is not preferable.

However, in the present embodiment, since the communication passages 105 and 115 are provided inside the fixed bodies 90 and 110, leakage of the compressed fluid as in the comparative example does not occur. As a result, in the present embodiment, the compressed fluid remaining in the discharge ports 145 and 155 can be efficiently discharged into the compression spaces Sf2 and Sr2 in a non-communication state with the suction ports 140 and 150.

(1-11) With the movement of the rotating body surfaces 71a and 72a with respect to the flat surfaces 102 and 122, the inlets 105b and 115b of the communication passages 105 and 115 are changed from the state closed by the rotating body surfaces 71a and 72a to the discharge ports 145 and 155. After communicating, it is closed again by the rotating body surfaces 71a and 72a. Therefore, while the discharge ports 145 and 155 are moving on the flat surfaces 102 and 122, the inlets 105b and 115b are closed by the rotating body surfaces 71a and 72a except that the inlets 105b and 115b communicate with the discharge ports 145 and 155. Has been done. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the fluids in the compression spaces Sf2 and Sr2 and the suction spaces Sf1 and Sr1 from leaking from the communication passages 105 and 115 to other compression chambers.

(1-12) The compressed fluid discharged into the communication passages 105 and 115 can be discharged into the compression spaces Sf2 and Sr2 in a non-communication state with respect to the suction ports 140 and 150 via the communication recesses 34 and 35. Further, the outlets 105a and 115a of the communication passages 105 and 115 are opened and closed by the communication recesses 34 and 35 provided on the inner peripheral surface 31 of the cylinder. The cylinder 30 rotates relative to the fixed bodies 90 and 110, while the communication passages 105 and 115 provided in the fixed bodies 90 and 110 do not rotate. Therefore, the communication recesses 34 and 35 can rotate relative to the fixed bodies 90 and 110 and can be intermittently communicated with the outlets 105a and 115a of the communication passages 105 and 115, and the outlets 105a of the communication passages 105 and 115 can be communicated intermittently. , 115a can be opened and closed with a simple configuration.

(1-13) Since the rotating body 60 and the cylinder 30 rotate integrally, the vane 131 does not slide in the circumferential direction of the cylinder inner peripheral surface 31. That is, the sliding of the vane 131 in the axial direction Z is performed only on the fixed body surfaces 100 and 120. For example, the sliding distance of the vane 131 can be halved as compared with the case where the rotating body 60 rotates with respect to both the cylinder 30 and the fixed bodies 90 and 110, and the rotation of the cylinder 30 acts on the vane 131. Centrifugal force can be reduced. As a result, the mechanical loss and friction loss when the compressor 10 is driven can be reduced.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment embodying the compressor will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 to 25. Since the second embodiment has only the configuration in which the arrangement of the discharge port and the position of the communication passage of the first embodiment are changed, detailed description of the same portion will be omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 20, 21 or 22, in the second embodiment, the inner bottom surface 23e of the rear housing bottom portion 23, the rear housing inner peripheral surface 24a, and the first plate surface 43 of the rear plate 40 are used. The first discharge chamber A11 is partitioned between the cylinder outer peripheral surface 32, and the second discharge chamber A12 is partitioned by the rear plate 40 and the discharge cover 26. A discharge communication hole 41a is formed outside the rear insertion hole 41 in the rear plate 40 in the radial direction R. The first discharge chamber A11 and the second discharge chamber A12 communicate with each other through the discharge communication hole 41a.

Further, as shown in FIG. 22, a rear suction communication passage 222 that communicates the motor chamber A2 and the rear suction port 150 is formed in the rear housing side wall portion 24 and the rear plate 40. The rear suction port 150 of the second embodiment is composed of the rear fixed body suction hole 152 of the first embodiment, and is not provided with the peripheral suction hole 151.

The rear suction passage 222a has a first passage 222a that penetrates the side wall portion 24 of the rear housing in the axial direction Z, and a second passage 222b that extends in the radial direction R of the rear plate 40. The opening end of the rear plate 40 on the outer peripheral surface of the second passage 222b is closed by the closing member 223. The open end of the second communication passage 222b in the radial direction R opposite to the closed end is communicated with the rear suction port 150 of the rear fixed body 110. According to such a configuration, the suction fluid of the motor chamber A2 is sucked into the rear suction port 150 via the first passage 222a and the second passage 222b.

As shown in FIGS. 23, 24 or 25, the rotating body 60 has a rotating body cylinder portion 61 and a rotating body ring portion 70, but the rotating body ring portion 70 of the second embodiment discharges. It is ring-shaped without the recess 71, and correspondingly does not have the front inner surface 71b, the rear inner surface 72b, the connection surface 71c, and the part opening 172a. Further, the rotating shaft 12 is a solid columnar shape without an in-axis passage 171 and a communication hole 172.

The front discharge port 145 is provided at a position on the outer peripheral surface 32 of the cylinder which is outside the radial direction R of the front compression chamber A4. Specifically, the front discharge port 145 is formed on the outer peripheral surface 32 of the cylinder on the outer side R in the radial direction with respect to the front rotating body surface 71a. In this embodiment, three front discharge ports 145 are formed in the circumferential direction of the cylinder 30. The positions of the three front discharge ports 145 in the axial direction Z are all the same. Therefore, the front discharge port 145, which rotates integrally with the cylinder 30, passes outside in the radial direction R with respect to the front rotating body surface 71a.

A front seat surface 148 recessed from the cylinder outer peripheral surface 32 is formed on the cylinder outer peripheral surface 32. The front seat surface 148 is provided at a position on the outer peripheral surface 32 of the cylinder which is outside the radial direction R of the front compression chamber A4. In the present embodiment, three front seat surfaces 148 are formed in the circumferential direction of the cylinder 30. The front seat surface 148 is a flat surface orthogonal to the radial direction R.

Further, the front discharge port 145 communicates the front compression chamber A4 and the first discharge chamber A11 by penetrating the cylinder 30 in the radial direction R. In this embodiment, the front discharge port 145 is circular. However, the shape of the front discharge port 145 is arbitrary, and the front discharge port 145 may have, for example, an oval shape. In a configuration in which a plurality of front discharge ports 145 are provided, the sizes of the front discharge ports 145 may be the same or different.

In the present embodiment, the front discharge port 145 is arranged on the front side in the rotation direction M with respect to the vane groove 130. Further, the front discharge port 145 is arranged with a constant distance from the vane groove 130 in the rotation direction of the cylinder 30 and the rotating body 60. Therefore, the front discharge port 145 and the vane 131 rotate integrally while maintaining a state in which a certain distance is provided in the circumferential direction. The front compression chambers A4a to A4c are always in communication with the front discharge port 145 as the cylinder 30 integrated with the rotating body 60 rotates.

The front discharge valve 146 normally closes the front discharge port 145, and opens when the pressure in the front compression chamber A4 (specifically, the compression space Sf2) exceeds the threshold value to block the front discharge port 145. The state shifts to the state in which the discharge port 145 is opened. As a result, the compressed fluid compressed in the front compression chamber A4 is discharged to the discharge chamber A1. In this case, the opening angle of the front discharge valve 146 is regulated by the front retainer 147. The compressed fluid discharged into the first discharge chamber A11 is discharged to the second discharge chamber A12 through the discharge communication hole 41a.

The rear discharge port 155 is provided at a position on the outer peripheral surface 32 of the cylinder which is outside the radial direction R of the rear compression chamber A5. Specifically, the rear discharge port 155 is formed on the outer peripheral surface 32 of the cylinder on the outer side R in the radial direction with respect to the rear rotating body surface 72a. Further, the compressor 10 includes a rear discharge valve 156 that opens and closes the rear discharge port 155, and a rear retainer 157 that regulates the opening angle of the rear discharge valve 156. The rear discharge valve 156 is provided on the rear seat surface 158 formed on the outer peripheral surface 32 of the cylinder.

The specific configurations of the rear discharge port 155, the rear discharge valve 156, the rear retainer 157, and the rear seat surface 158 are basically the front discharge port 145, the front discharge valve 146, the front retainer 147, and the front seat surface 148. Since it is the same as the above, a detailed description will be omitted. Further, "front" in the description of the front discharge port 145, the front discharge valve 146, the front retainer 147, and the front seat surface 148 may be read as "rear".

As shown in FIGS. 21, 24 or 25, in the second embodiment, the outlet 105a of the front passage 105 opens to the outer peripheral surface 92 of the front fixed body, and the inlet 105b also opens to the outer peripheral surface 92 of the front fixed body. doing. The inlet 105b is provided on the outer peripheral surface 92 of the front fixed body on the outer side in the radial direction R with respect to the second front flat surface 102. Further, the inlet 105b of the front passage 105 is formed at a position facing the part of the front discharge port 145 passing through the outer peripheral surface 92 of the front fixed body in the radial direction R. Therefore, the inlet 105b of the front communication passage 105 intermittently communicates with the front discharge port 145 as the rotating body 60 rotates. Further, the outlet 105a of the front communication passage 105 intermittently communicates with the front suction port 140 in the compressed space Sf2 in a non-communication state as the rotating body 60 rotates.

As shown in FIG. 25, the outlet 115a of the rear passage 115 opens to the outer peripheral surface 112 of the rear fixed body, and the inlet 115b also opens to the outer peripheral surface 112 of the rear fixed body. The inlet 115b is provided on the outer peripheral surface 112 of the rear fixed body outside the radial direction R with respect to the second rear flat surface 122. Further, the inlet 115b of the rear continuous passage 115 is formed at a position facing the part of the rear discharge port 155 passing through the outer peripheral surface 112 of the rear fixed body in the radial direction R. The inlet 115b of the rear communication passage 115 intermittently communicates with the rear discharge port 155 as the rotating body 60 rotates. Further, the outlet 115a of the rear communication passage 115 intermittently communicates with the rear suction port 150 in the compressed space Sr2 in a non-communication state as the rotating body 60 rotates.

The front communication recess 34 and the rear communication recess 35 of the cylinder 30 are provided at the same positions as in the first embodiment. Further, the dimensions of the front communication recess 34 and the rear communication recess 35 in the axial direction Z are the same as those in the first embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 21, 23 or 24, in the second embodiment, the compressor 10 includes a discharge groove 69 for communicating the front discharge port 145 and the vane groove 130 on the inner peripheral surface 31 of the cylinder. A discharge groove 69 for communicating the rear discharge port 155 and the vane groove 130 is provided on the inner peripheral surface 31 of the cylinder.

Now, in the second embodiment, when the rotating shaft 12 is rotated by the electric motor 13, the cylinder 30 and the rotating body 60 are integrally rotated accordingly. As a result, the plurality of vanes 131 rotate while moving in the axial direction Z along both the fixed body surfaces 100 and 120 while maintaining their circumferential positions. At the same time, the plurality of both discharge ports 145 and 155 rotate while maintaining their circumferential positions.

As the plurality of vanes 131 move, volume changes occur in the front compression chambers A4a to A4c and the rear compression chambers A5a to A5c, and the fluid is sucked or compressed. When the pressure in the compression space Sf2 in the second front compression chamber A4b exceeds the threshold value, the front discharge valve 146 is opened and the compressed fluid compressed in the compression space Sf2 is released to the front discharge port 145 as shown in FIG. It flows to the first discharge chamber A11 via. The compressed fluid flowing into the first discharge chamber A11 flows into the second discharge chamber A12 through the discharge communication hole 41a.

After that, when the pressure in the compression space Sf2 drops below the threshold value, the front discharge valve 146 is closed, the front discharge port 145 is closed by the front fixed body outer peripheral surface 92 and the front discharge valve 146, and the compressed fluid is connected to the front discharge port 145. Is trapped.

As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, when a part of the front discharge port 145 communicates with the inlet 105b of the front communication passage 105 as the rotating body 60 rotates, the compressed fluid in the front discharge port 145 passes through the front communication passage. It is discharged to 105.

In the present embodiment, when a part of the front discharge port 145 communicates with the inlet 105b of the front communication passage 105, the outlet 105a of the front communication passage 105 communicates with the front communication recess 34, so that the water is discharged to the front communication passage 105. The compressed fluid is discharged to the third front compression chamber A4c via the front communication recess 34.

Further, a part of the compressed fluid confined in the front discharge port 145 is discharged to the vane groove 130 on the rear side in the rotation direction M from the front discharge port 145 via the discharge groove 69.

Further, when the pressure in the compression space Sr2 in the second rear compression chamber A5b exceeds the threshold value at a position 180 ° out of phase with the front contact portion Pf, the rear discharge valve 156 is opened and the compression space Sr2 is opened. The compressed fluid compressed in (1) flows into the first discharge chamber A11 via the rear discharge port 155. The compressed fluid flowing into the first discharge chamber A11 flows into the second discharge chamber A12 through the discharge communication hole 41a.

After that, when the pressure in the compression space Sr2 drops below the threshold value, the rear discharge valve 156 is closed, the rear discharge port 155 is closed by the rear fixed body outer peripheral surface 112 and the rear discharge valve 156, and the compressed fluid is connected to the rear discharge port 155. Is trapped.

When a part of the rear discharge port 155 communicates with the inlet 115b of the rear communication passage 115 as the rotating body 60 rotates, the compressed fluid trapped in the rear discharge port 155 flows into the rear communication passage 115.

In the present embodiment, when a part of the rear discharge port 155 communicates with the inlet 115b of the rear communication passage 115, the outlet 115a of the rear communication passage 115 communicates with the rear communication recess 35, so that the fluid flows into the rear communication passage 115. However, the compressed fluid is discharged to the third rear compression chamber A5c through the rear communication recess 35.

Further, a part of the compressed fluid confined in the rear discharge port 155 is discharged to the vane groove 130 on the rear side in the rotation direction M from the rear discharge port 155 via the discharge groove 69.
Therefore, according to the second embodiment, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the effects described in the first embodiment.

(2-1) Since the cylinder 30 is provided with both discharge ports 145 and 155, when the cylinder 30 rotates integrally with the rotating body 60, both discharge ports 145 and 155 and vane 131 also rotate integrally. That is, the vane 131 maintains a certain distance from both discharge ports 145 and 155. Therefore, the vane 131 rotating together with the rotating body 60 does not pass through the discharge ports 145 and 155, and the compression spaces Sf2 and Sr2 and the suction spaces Sf1 and Sr1 of both the compression chambers A4 and A5 are the discharge ports 145 and 145. There is no communication across the vane 131 via 155. As a result, the compressed fluid compressed in the compression spaces Sf2 and Sr2 does not leak to the suction spaces Sf1 and Sr1 via the discharge ports 145 and 155, and the decrease in compression efficiency due to this leakage can be eliminated. ..

According to such a configuration, both discharge ports 145 and 155 can be made larger than the plate thickness of the vane 131, and the pressure loss at both discharge ports 145 and 155 can be reduced.
(2-2) The cylinder 30 is formed with a discharge groove 69 for communicating the discharge ports 145 and 155 with the vane groove 130. Then, the compressed fluid remaining in each of the discharge ports 145 and 155 can be discharged to the vane groove 130 via the discharge groove 69. As a result, the amount of the compressed fluid remaining in both discharge ports 145 and 155 can be suppressed from flowing into both suction spaces Sf1 and Sr1 beyond both contact points Pf and Pr, and the suction efficiency in both suction spaces Sf1 and Sr1 can be suppressed. The decrease can be suppressed.

(2-3) The communication passages 105 and 115 were provided in both the fixed bodies 90 and 110, and the communication recesses 34 and 35 were provided in the cylinder 30. Then, in the state where the discharge valves 146 and 156 are closed, the compressed fluid in the discharge ports 145 and 155 can be discharged to the communication passages 105 and 115 via the inlets 105b and 115b of the communication passages 105 and 115. Then, the compressed fluid discharged into the communication passages 105 and 115 can be discharged to the compression spaces Sf2 and Sr2 in the non-communication state with respect to the suction ports 140 and 150 by the communication recesses 34 and 35. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the compressed fluid remaining in the discharge ports 145 and 155 from being discharged to the suction spaces Sf1 and Sr1 beyond the contact points Pf and Pr. As a result, it is possible to suppress the return of the compressed fluid compressed in the compression spaces Sf2 and Sr2 from the discharge ports 145 and 155 to the suction spaces Sf1 and Sr1, and to eliminate the decrease in compression efficiency due to this return.

Each of the above embodiments may be modified as follows. In addition, each of the above-described embodiments and the following alternative examples may be combined with each other within a technically consistent range. Further, regarding another example regarding the configuration on the front side, the corresponding configuration on the rear side can be changed in the same manner.

○ In the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, the compression chamber in which the outlet 105a of the front communication passage 105 communicates through the front communication recess 34 is the entrance of the front communication passage 105 to the front discharge port 145. It may be a compression chamber located behind the compression chamber that becomes the third front compression chamber A4c when the 105b communicates with each other in the rotation direction M. That is, the compression chamber in which the outlet 105a of the front communication passage 105 communicates through the front communication recess 34 is the compression chamber that becomes the first front compression chamber A4a when the inlet 105b communicates with the front discharge port 145.

Specifically, when the front discharge port 145 communicates with the inlet 105b, the front communication recess 34 does not communicate with the outlet 105a, and the outlet 105a is blocked by the cylinder inner peripheral surface 31. Therefore, the compressed fluid in the front discharge port 145 is discharged to the front passage 105, but is not discharged from the outlet 105a. Further, when the front discharge port 145 communicates with the inlet 105b, the front communication recess 34 is located behind the vane 131 partitioning the third front compression chamber A4c on the rear side in the rotation direction M from the outlet 105a. positioned.

Then, when the rotating body 60 and the cylinder 30 rotate, the communication between the inlet 105b and the front discharge port 145 is released, and the inlet 105b is closed by the front rotating body surface 71a, the compressed fluid is confined in the front communication passage 105.

After that, the rotating body 60 and the cylinder 30 rotate, and the compression chamber in which the outlet 105a of the front communication passage 105 communicates with the front communication recess 34 via the front communication recess 34 is connected to the front discharge port 145 as shown in FIGS. 26 and 27. The compression chamber that was the first front compression chamber A4a when the passage 105 communicates becomes the third front compression chamber A4c, and the front communication recess 34 exits the compression space that is not in communication with the suction ports 140 and 150. Communicate with 105a. Then, the compressed fluid trapped in the front communication passage 105 is discharged to the third front compression chamber A4c via the front communication recess 34. The same applies to the rear passage 115.

○ In the first and second embodiments, the on-off valve may be a lead-out passage provided inside the cylinder 30. Specifically, the lead-out passage is formed so as to extend linearly in the axial direction Z inside the cylinder 30, and the first opening end of the lead-out passage is located in the front compression chamber A4 and the front communication passage 105. It is formed at a position where it can communicate intermittently with the outlet 105a. Further, the second opening end of the lead-out passage is provided in the rear compression chamber A5 at a position closer to the rotating body 60 than the first rear flat surface 121 so as to open into the compression space Sr2 where suction is completed.

After the compressed fluid is confined in the front discharge port 145, when a part of the front discharge port 145 communicates with the inlet 105b of the front communication passage 105, the compressed fluid confined in the front discharge port 145 flows into the front communication passage 105. ..

When a part of the front discharge port 145 communicates with the inlet 105b of the front communication passage 105, the outlet 105a of the front communication passage 105 communicates with the first opening end of the lead passage, so that the fluid flows into the front communication passage 105. The compressed fluid is discharged into the outlet passage. In the rear compression chamber A5, the second opening end of the lead-out passage opens into the compression space Sr2 in a non-communication state with the suction ports 140 and 150, so that the compressed fluid discharged into the lead-out passage is in the rear compression chamber A5. Is discharged to.

On the rear side, a lead-out passage may be provided at a position where the compressed fluid remaining in the rear discharge port 155 is discharged to the front compression chamber A4.
According to this configuration, the compressed fluid discharged into the communication passages 105 and 115 can be discharged into the compression spaces Sf2 and Sr2 in a non-communication state with the suction ports 140 and 150. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the compressed fluid remaining in the discharge ports 145 and 155 from being returned to the suction spaces Sf1 and Sr1 beyond the contact points Pf and Pr. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the amount of suction into the suction spaces Sf1 and Sr1, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in compression efficiency.

○ The rotating body surfaces 71a and 72a may be inclined with respect to the axial direction Z. In this case, both front flat surfaces 101, 102 and both rear flat surfaces 121, 122 may be flat surfaces orthogonal to the axial direction Z, or the rotating body surfaces 71a, so as to make surface contact with the rotating body surfaces 71a, 72a. It may be tilted at the same tilt angle as 72a.

○ A part of the rotating body cylinder portion 61 may be cut out or protruded. Further, the rotating body cylinder portion 61 has a cylindrical shape, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the rotating body tubular portion 61 may have a non-cylindrical shape. The fixed body insertion holes 91 and 111 may be formed so as to correspond to the shape of the rotating body cylinder portion 61 so that the gap between the inner wall surface thereof and the rotating body cylinder portion 61 becomes small, and are not limited to the circular shape. .. When a part of the rotating body cylinder portion 61 is cut out, another member may be fitted in the cutout portion.

The rotating body may have a disk shape having no portion protruding in the axial direction Z from the rotating body surfaces 71a and 72a, and may not be supported by both the fixed bodies 90 and 110. In this case, the front compression chamber A4 may be partitioned by the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 12. That is, the front compression chamber A4 is not limited to the configuration defined by the outer peripheral surface 62 of the tubular portion, and may be partitioned by using the front rotating body surface 71a and the front fixed body surface 100. The same applies to the rear compression chamber A5.

○ The number of shaft bearings 51 and 53 is not limited to two, and may be one. For example, the rear shaft bearing 53 may be omitted. Further, three or more shaft bearings may be provided.
○ In the present embodiment, the accommodation chamber A3 is partitioned by the rear housing 22 and the rear plate 40, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the specific configuration for partitioning the accommodation chamber A3 is arbitrary.

For example, the compressor 10 may be configured to include a plate-shaped front plate instead of the rear housing 22, and a bottomed cylindrical rear cylinder instead of the rear plate 40. In this case, the accommodation chamber A3 is partitioned by abutting the rear cylinder and the front plate.

○ The bottom portion 23 of the rear housing and the side wall portion 24 of the rear housing may be separate bodies.
○ Both fixed bodies 90 and 110 have the same shape, but the shape is not limited to this, and for example, the front fixed body 90 may have a larger diameter than the rear fixed body 110, or vice versa. In this case, the inner peripheral surface 31 of the cylinder may have a stepped shape according to the shapes of both the fixed bodies 90 and 110, and the cylinder accommodating the front fixed body 90 and the cylinder accommodating the rear fixed body 110 may be formed. It may be provided separately. That is, the volumes of both compression chambers A4 and A5 may be the same or different.

○ The communication passages 105 and 115 and the communication recesses 34 and 35 may be omitted.
○ The discharge groove 69 may be omitted.
○ The compressor 10 of the embodiment is provided with two compression chambers A4 and A5, but the present invention is not limited to this.

For example, the rear fixed body 110, the rear compression chamber A5, the rear suction port 150, and the rear discharge port 155 may be omitted. In this case, the first front flat surface 101 may be omitted on the front fixed body surface 100.

In such a configuration, for example, it is preferable to provide an urging portion for urging the vane 131 toward the front fixed body 90. The urging portion may be supported by, for example, an urging support portion provided on the rotating body cylinder portion 61 so that the urging portion can rotate with the rotation of the rotating body 60. The urging support portion is provided at, for example, the rear rotating body end portion 61b of the rotating body cylinder portion 61, and has a plate shape protruding outward in the radial direction R. As a result, the vane 131 rotates while moving in the axial direction Z while maintaining the state of being in contact with the front fixed body surface 100 as the rotating body 60 rotates. Instead of omitting the rear side configuration, the front side configuration may be omitted. In other words, there may be only one fixed body.

○ The fixed body insertion holes 91 and 111 do not have to be through holes as long as the rotating shaft 12 is inserted, and may be non-penetrating.
○ At least one of both thrust bearings 81 and 82 may be omitted. That is, the thrust bearings 81 and 82 are not essential.

○ At least one of the bearings of both rotating bodies may be omitted.
○ The number of vanes 131 is arbitrary, and may be one, two, or four or more.
○ Of the front fixed body surface 100, the contact surface (fixed body contact surface) with the front rotating body surface 71a does not have to be a flat surface like the second front flat surface 102. The same applies to the rear fixed body surface 120. However, from the viewpoint of sealing property, a flat surface is preferable.

○ The front cam surface 103 is configured to have a front inclined surface 104, but the present invention is not limited to this. The front cam surface 103 may be curved so as to gradually move away from the front rotating body surface 71a as the distance from the second front flat surface 102 in the circumferential direction increases. The same applies to the rear cam surface 123.

○ The specific shape of the housing 11 is arbitrary.
○ The specific shape of the rotating shaft 12 is arbitrary. For example, at least a part of the rotating shaft 12 may be formed in a hollow shape, or may be prismatic.

○ The electric motor 13 and the inverter 14 may be omitted. That is, the electric motor 13 and the inverter 14 are not essential in the compressor 10. In this case, the rotating shaft 12 may be rotated by, for example, belt driving.

Further, the rotating shaft 12 may be omitted as the electric motor 13 is omitted. In this case, for example, the rotating body 60 may be directly rotated by driving a belt or the like.
○ The compressor 10 may be used in addition to the air conditioner. For example, the compressor 10 may be used to supply compressed air to a fuel cell mounted on a fuel cell vehicle. That is, the fluid to be compressed by the compressor 10 is not limited to the refrigerant containing oil, and is arbitrary.
