Description

  The present invention relates to a rotary compressor used in a refrigeration cycle such as an air conditioner.

  Conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the first bottom through-hole 257S of the accumulator 25 attached to the upper side of the rotary compressor casing (not shown) and the lower side of the rotary compressor casing. The first suction portion (not shown) of the first compression portion provided in the first compression portion is connected by an L-shaped first low-pressure communication pipe 31S, and the second bottom through hole 257T and the second compression portion are connected to each other. The second suction part (not shown) is connected by an L-shaped second low pressure communication pipe 31T.

  The radius of curvature R1 of the bent portion of the first low-pressure connecting pipe 31S and the radius of curvature R2 of the bent portion of the second low-pressure connecting pipe 31T are set to the same relatively small radius (see FIG. 6) or shown in FIG. As described above, the curvature centers of both are positioned at the same position, and the curvature radius R1 of the first low-pressure communication pipe 31S is set to about three times the curvature radius R2 of the second low-pressure communication pipe 31T.

  However, in the structure of the conventional first and second low-pressure connecting pipes 31S and 31T shown in FIG. 6, during the high-speed operation of the rotary compressor, the vibration of the compressor housing causes the first and second low-pressure connecting pipes 31S and 31T. The sound propagates to the lower part of the accumulator 25 through the sound and the resonance sound is generated from the lower part of the accumulator 25. In addition, the conventional first and second low-pressure connecting pipes 31S and 31T shown in FIG. 7 have a problem in that resonance noise is similarly generated during medium speed operation of the rotary compressor.

  This is because, in the structure of the conventional first and second low-pressure connecting pipes 31S and 31T shown in FIG. 6, the curvature radius R1 of the first low-pressure connecting pipe 31S is small, so the entire length of the first low-pressure connecting pipe 31S is long. Thus, the rigidity of the first low-pressure connecting pipe 31S is reduced. This is because if the rigidity of the first low-pressure connecting pipe 31S is too small, the first low-pressure connecting pipe 31S resonates at a high-speed rotation frequency.

  Further, in the structure of the conventional first and second low-pressure connecting pipes 31S and 31T shown in FIG. 7, since the curvature radius R1 of the first low-pressure connecting pipe 31S is large, the entire length of the first low-pressure connecting pipe 31S is shortened. The rigidity of the first low-pressure connecting pipe 31S is increased. This is because if the rigidity of the first low-pressure connecting pipe 31S is too large, the first low-pressure connecting pipe 31S resonates at a medium-speed rotation frequency.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above, and it is decided to obtain a rotary compressor in which the noise level of the resonance sound generated from the lower part of the accumulator is reduced at the operating frequency from low speed operation to high speed operation. To do.

  In order to solve the above-described problems and achieve the object, the present invention is a sealed vertical installation in which a refrigerant discharge part is provided at the upper part and second and first suction parts are provided at the upper and lower sides. A cylindrical compressor housing and a refrigerant suction portion are provided at the top, and first and second bottom through holes are provided on the outer and inner sides of the bottom, and are attached to the upper side portion of the compressor housing. The refrigerant gas is sucked in through the L-shaped first low-pressure connecting pipe that is installed in the lower part of the compressor housing and connects between the first bottom through hole and the first suction part. A first compression section that discharges refrigerant gas from the discharge section through the compressor housing, and the first compression section, and is disposed on the first compression section, between the second bottom through-hole and the second suction section. Refrigerant gas is sucked through an L-shaped second low-pressure connecting pipe connected and arranged inside the first low-pressure connecting pipe And a second compression section that discharges refrigerant gas from the discharge section through the compressor housing, wherein a curvature radius R1 of a bent portion of the first low-pressure connecting pipe is set to the second low-pressure connection pipe. It is characterized by being 1.5 times or more and 2.5 times or less of the radius of curvature R2 of the bent portion of the connecting pipe.

  According to the present invention, there is an effect that the noise level of the resonance sound generated from the lower part of the accumulator is reduced at the operation frequency from the low speed operation to the high speed operation.
