The discharge port 216 is opened and closed by the discharge valve 217, and the discharge valve 217 is fixed to the rear head side end surface of the valve plate 202 by the rivet 219 together with the valve presser 218. It is.

In addition, a gasket 231 for maintaining airtightness between the front head end face of the valve plate 202 and the cylinder block 201 and between the rear head end face of the valve plate 202 and the rear head 203. 232 are each excreted.

Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of a conventional ben-type compressor, Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view of the discharge valve cover portion.

The ben-type compressor has a cam ring 301, a rotor 302 rotatably received in the cam ring 301, a front side block 303 fixed to the front end surface of the cam ring 301, and a front side block 303. The front head 305 fixed to the front end face of the head), the rear side block 304 fixed to the rear end face of the cam ring 301, and the rear head fixed to the rear end face of the rear side block 304 306).

Two discharge ports 316 corresponding to the two compression spaces 312 are provided on the outer circumferential wall 301a of the cam ring 301 (only one discharge port 316 is shown in FIG. 4). Further, a valve fixing part 317a and a discharge valve 319 are fixed to the outer circumferential wall 301a of the cam ring 301 by bolts 318.

Further, an O-ring 342 is attached between the discharge valve cover 317 and the outer circumferential wall 301a of the cam ring 301 to maintain airtightness.

In the swing plate type compressor, the refrigerant sucked into the refrigerant compressor from the evaporator (not shown) through the external pipe enters the suction chamber 213 in the refrigerant compressor, and then flows into the compression chamber in the cylinder bore 206 through the suction valve 221. (Suction stroke) and after being compressed, flows into the discharge chamber 212 through the discharge valve 217 (compression stroke).

By the way, when the intake valve 221 and the discharge valve 217 are closed, since the valves 221 and 227 are seated rapidly by the repulsive force, an impact sound (joint) is produced by the collision with the valve plate 202.

In addition, when the discharge valve 217 is opened, the discharge valve 217 itself vibrates while it starts to open and reaches the open state, and the vibration is spread out into and out of the compressor along with the refrigerant.

In addition, in order to improve the assemblability of the valves 221 and 217, the cylinder block 201 and the rear head 203 are divided as described above, and the valve plate is disposed between the cylinder block 201 and the rear head 203. 202 and the discharge valve 217 and the suction valve 221 are provided, but at the same time, the gaskets 231 and 232 are also used to ensure the airtightness between the cylinder block 201 and the rear head 203. As the number of parts increases, not only the assembly performance of the compressor itself decreases, but also the manufacturing cost increases.

In addition, in the ben-type compressor, the refrigerant gas flowing from the suction port 306a enters the compression space 312 from the suction chamber 311, is compressed, passes through the discharge valve 319 from the discharge port 316, and passes through the passage 303a. It discharges from the discharge port 305a through the discharge chamber 310.

By the way, when the discharge valve 319 is closed, since the discharge valve 319 is seated suddenly by the elastic force, the impact sound (joint) is produced by the collision with the outer peripheral wall 301a.

In addition, when the discharge valve 319 is opened, the discharge valve 319 itself vibrates while it starts to open and reaches the open state, and the vibration spreads in and out of the compressor along with the refrigerant, resulting in a joint.

In addition, since the O-ring 342 is used to ensure airtightness, there is a problem that the number of parts increases and the assemblability decreases, and the compressor itself becomes expensive.

An object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerant compressor that can reduce the occurrence of noise during operation without causing an increase in cost by increasing the number of parts.
