Description

Rotary compressor

The present invention relates to a compressor, and more particularly to a rotary compressor capable of forward / reverse rotation and variable compression capacity;

In general, a compressor is a machine that increases the pressure of a working fluid by receiving power from a power generator such as an electric motor or a turbine and applying a compression work to air, a refrigerant, or other special gases. Such compressors are widely used in general household appliances such as the air conditioner field and the refrigerator field to the plant industry.

Such compressors are classified into positive displacement compressors and dynamic compressors or turbo compressors according to the compression method.

Among them, a widely used industrial compressor is a volumetric compressor, which has a compression method of increasing pressure through volume reduction. The volumetric compressor is further classified into a reciprocating compressor and a rotary compressor.

The reciprocating compressor compresses the working fluid by a piston reciprocating linearly inside the cylinder, and has a merit of obtaining a high compression efficiency with a relatively simple mechanical element. On the other hand, the reciprocating compressor has a limitation in the rotational speed due to the inertia of the piston, there is a disadvantage that significant vibration occurs due to the inertia force.

The rotary compressor compresses the working fluid by a roller revolving with the eccentricity inside the cylinder, and can obtain a high compression efficiency at a low speed compared to the reciprocating compressor. Therefore, the rotary compressor has an advantage of generating less vibration and noise.

However, the conventional rotary compressors have the advantages described above, but due to structural limitations it was not possible for the rollers to revolve in both directions. That is, in the conventional rotary compressor, one suction port and one discharge port communicating with the cylinder are formed, respectively, and the roller compresses the working fluid while rolling along the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder from the suction port side to the discharge port side.

Therefore, when the roller rolls in the opposite direction (from the discharge port side to the suction port side), compression of the working fluid is inevitably impossible.

In addition, the conventional rotary compressor has been unable to vary the compression capacity due to the structural limitations described above.

On the other hand, in recent years, a compressor that can vary the compression capacity has emerged to cope with various operating conditions such as air conditioners.

However, since the conventional rotary compressor has only one compression capacity, its application range has to be considerably narrow.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a rotary compressor capable of varying the compression capacity while being able to compress while forward / reverse rotation.

Another object of the present invention is to bypass the pressure difference between the vacuum region and the suction port periodically formed in the compression chamber to supply the gas of the suction port to the vacuum region to prevent the compressor efficiency decrease and noise It is to provide a rotary compressor having a structure.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a compression chamber having one suction port and two discharge ports, and the compression chamber while eccentric from the center of the compression chamber and revolving in both directions while rolling along the wall of the compression chamber. A rolling member for compressing a part of the space, a partition member positioned between the discharge port and partitioning the compression chamber into the suction part and the discharge part by keeping contact with the cloud member at all times, and formed by the revolving of the rolling member. Provided is a rotary compressor including a bypass through which a gas before compression is supplied to a vacuum region of a compression chamber.

Any one of the discharge ports is a flow path through which gas is discharged when the rolling member revolves clockwise, and the other is a flow path through which gas is discharged when the rolling member revolves counterclockwise.

The compression ratio of the gas sucked into the compression chamber depends on the position of the suction port together with the revolution direction of the rolling member. This is because the compression ratio depends on the volume of the discharge portion, and the volume of the discharge portion depends on the position of the suction port. Therefore, it can be seen that the compression ratio can be kept constant or varied by adjusting the position of the suction port.

Based on this principle, the present invention primarily provides a rotary compressor capable of forward / reverse rotation and a rotary compressor capable of varying the compression capacity.

First, the suction port is formed on an extension line of the partition member so as to always obtain a constant compression ratio regardless of the revolving direction of the rolling member. In this case, the compression chamber is divided into two parts having the same volume by the suction port and the partition member. Therefore, a constant compression ratio can always be obtained regardless of the revolution direction of the rolling member.

Next, in order to obtain different compression ratios according to the revolving direction of the rolling member, the suction port is formed on one side with respect to the extension line of the partition member. In this case, the compression chamber is divided into two parts having different volumes by the suction port and the partition member. Therefore, different compression ratios can be obtained according to the revolution direction of the rolling member. At this time, the suction port is preferably located within a range of 180 ° ~ 300 ° in any direction with respect to the partition member.

The bypass is a one-way flow path, and is automatically opened and closed by a pressure difference. In other words, the bypass allows only the gas before compression to move into the compression chamber, not the reverse flow thereof.

To this end, the bypass is branched from the suction port and connected to the compression chamber.

In this case, the bypass has two flow paths, and each of the flow paths is preferably connected to both spaces of the compression chamber divided by the partition member. As described above, the compression chamber is divided into two compression spaces by partition members.

The compression space may both be a discharge part according to the revolving direction of the rolling member. Therefore, when the bypass is connected to each compression space, gas may be supplied to the vacuum region formed in the compression space regardless of the revolving direction of the rolling member.

On the other hand, the bypass preferably further comprises a storage member for storing the gas before compression.

Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention can be specifically achieved with reference to the accompanying drawings, Figures 1 to 8 as follows.

1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the configuration of a rotary compressor according to the present invention, Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a compression unit of the rotary compressor according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the rotary compressor according to the present invention includes a case 1, a transmission unit positioned above the case 1, a compression unit located under the transmission unit, and a bypass. do.

The case 1 is provided with an upper cap 3 and a lower cap 5 at the upper and lower portions, respectively, to form a sealed inner space. A suction tube 7 through which gas is sucked is installed at one side of the case 1, and a discharge tube 9 through which compressed gas is discharged is installed at the center of the upper cap 3. At this time, the suction pipe 7 is connected to the accumulator 10.

The transmission part includes a stator 20 fixed to the case 1, a rotor 30 rotatably supported inside the stator 20, and a crankshaft 40 press-fitted into the rotor 30. do. The rotor 30 is rotated by the electromagnetic force, the crankshaft 40 transmits the rotational force of the rotor 30 to the compression unit. At this time, in order to supply external power to the stator 20, the hermetic terminal 4 is installed in the upper cap (3).

The compression unit rotatably supports the cylinder 50 fixed to the case 1, the roller 80 compressing the gas while rolling along the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder 50, and the crankshaft 40. The upper bearing 60 and the lower bearing 70 is composed of. At this time, the upper bearing 60 and the lower bearing 70 together with the cylinder 50 forms a compression chamber 200.

The configuration of the compression unit will be described in more detail as follows. As shown in FIG. 2, the crankshaft 40 has an eccentric portion 41 on the lower side. The eccentric portion 41 has a center spaced apart from the rotation center of the crankshaft 40 by a predetermined distance. At this time, the eccentric portion 41 may be formed integrally with the crankshaft 40, it may be implemented as an eccentric pin inserted into the crankshaft (40).

The cylinder 50 has a cylindrical upper and lower surfaces, and the eccentric portion 41 is accommodated therein. In addition, a suction port 51 is formed in which the inside and the outside communicate with each other through the side wall of the cylinder 50. The suction port 51 is a flow path for guiding gas to the compression chamber. The suction port 51 is formed in a direction orthogonal to the crankshaft 40, and is connected to the suction pipe 7 (see FIG. 1) through a connection pipe 52. In addition, an installation groove 53 is formed in the side wall of the cylinder 50 by a predetermined depth from the inner peripheral surface. The installation groove 53 is an installation space of the vane 90 to be described later. At this time, the installation groove 53 has a sufficient depth to fully accommodate the vane (90).

The roller 80 has a ring shape having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the cylinder 50, and is coupled to the eccentric portion 41. At this time, the roller 80 should be rolling along the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder (50). To this end, the roller 80 is rotatably installed with respect to the eccentric portion 41. Alternatively, when the eccentric portion 41 is rotatably installed with respect to the crankshaft 40, the roller 80 may be fixed to the eccentric portion 41.

The vane 90 is installed in the installation groove 53 of the cylinder 50. The vane 90 is a member that divides the compression chamber 200 (refer to FIG. 1) into a suction part through which gas is sucked and a discharge part through which compressed gas is discharged. To this end, the vanes 90 should always be in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the roller 80. However, when the crankshaft 40 rotates, the roller 80 revolves around the center of the compression chamber 200 as the rotation center. Therefore, in order to maintain close contact between the vanes 90 and the rollers 80, the vanes 90 need to be elastically installed. To this end, a spring 95 is installed in the installation groove 53 of the cylinder 50. That is, one end of the spring 95 is fixed to the cylinder 50 and the other end of the spring 95 is coupled to the vane 90 to push the vane 90 toward the roller 80.

The upper bearing 60 and the lower bearing 70 pass through the crankshaft 40 and are coupled to the upper and lower surfaces of the cylinder 50, respectively. In this case, a plurality of fastening holes 65, 75, and 55 are formed at positions corresponding to each other of the upper bearing 60, the lower bearing 70, and the cylinder 50. Therefore, the cylinder 50 and the bearings 60 and 70 are coupled to each other through separate fastening screws. At this time, the cylinder 50 and the bearings 60 and 70 are closely coupled to each other so that there is no leakage of gas.

Two discharge ports 61 and 63 are formed in the upper bearing 60. The discharge ports 61 and 63 communicate with the compression chamber 200 to provide a discharge flow path of the compressed gas. In addition, two discharge valves 110 and 120 are installed in the upper bearing 60. The discharge valves 110 and 120 selectively open and close the discharge ports 61 and 63, and open the discharge ports 61 and 63 only when the pressure in the compression chamber 200 is greater than or equal to a predetermined pressure. To this end, the discharge valve 110, 120 is preferably a leaf spring, one end is supported in the vicinity of the discharge port (61, 63) while the other end is kept free.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 1, a retainer 130 is installed on the discharge valves 110 and 120. The retainer 130 is to ensure stable operation of the discharge valves 110 and 120, and is installed to be in contact with the discharge valves 110 and 120 to limit the opening degree of the discharge valves 110 and 120. When the retainer 130 is not present, the discharge valves 110 and 120 may be excessively bent due to high pressure. In this case, reliability of the discharge valves 110 and 120 may be degraded.

The muffler 140 is installed on the upper bearing 60. The muffler 140 reduces noise generated when the compressed gas is discharged. To this end, the muffler 140 surrounds the upper spaces of the discharge ports 61 and 63, and a separate discharge port 141 is formed at one side.

A certain amount of refrigeration oil (O) is filled in the bottom surface of the case (1) for lubrication and cooling of the frictional member. At this time, the end of the crankshaft 40 is locked to the refrigerator oil (O).

On the other hand, the idle direction of the roller 80 and the position of the suction port 51 is a very important factor in achieving the object of the present invention. Hereinafter, these correlations will be described in detail.

3 is a cross-sectional view showing the inside of the cylinder of the rotary compressor according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the compression chamber 200 is divided into two portions 210 and 220 by vanes 90 and rollers 80, and discharge ports 61 on both sides of the vanes 90. , 63 are located one each. This is to always compress the gas regardless of the idle direction of the roller 80. That is, no matter which direction the roller 80 revolves, one discharge port 61 and 63 exists between the suction port 51 and the vane 90. At this time, it is preferable that the distance between the vanes 90 and the arbitrary discharge ports 61 and 63 is equal to each other.

Here, the compression chamber 200 is a suction portion through which the gas is sucked through the suction port 51 by the vane 90 and the roller 80, and the compressed gas is discharged through the arbitrary discharge ports (61, 63) It is divided into the discharge part which becomes. At this time, the suction part and the discharge part are determined according to the revolution direction of the roller 80. That is, when the roller 80 revolves counterclockwise, the right side space 220 of the roller 80 becomes the ejection portion, and when the roller 80 revolves clockwise, the left space 210 becomes the ejection portion. .

On the other hand, the compression capacity is determined by the volume of the discharge portion (210, 220). Here, if the volumes of the discharge parts 210 and 220 are accurately defined, it is the volume of the space surrounded by the cylinder 50 and the roller 80 from the suction port 51 to the vane 90. Therefore, the compression capacity is determined according to the position of the suction port 51.

For example, when the suction port 51 is located on an imaginary line passing through the vanes 90, that is, on approximately 180 °, the compression chamber 200 is divided into two parts having the same volume. . Therefore, the compression capacity is the same regardless of which direction the roller 80 revolves.

However, when the suction port 51 is located on one side of the virtual line passing through the vanes 90, the compression chamber 200 is divided into two parts having different volumes. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the compression chamber 200 includes a left space 210 close to a distance from the vane 90 to the suction port 51 and the suction port 51 from the vane 90. The distance to is divided into the far right space 220. At this time, the spaces 210 and 220 respectively become discharge portions according to the revolving direction of the roller 80, and thus the discharge portions are divided into a high pressure discharge portion 220 having a large volume and a low pressure discharge portion 210 having a small volume. This means that the rotary compressor according to the invention has a double capacity along the idle direction of the roller 80.

At this time, the position of the suction port 51 is determined according to the compression ratio of the high pressure discharge unit 220 and the low pressure discharge unit 210. As an example, the present invention suggests that the suction port 51 is located in the range of 180 ° to 300 ° clockwise from an imaginary line passing through the vane 90. In this case, when the compression ratio is 50:50, as described above, the suction port 51 is located on 180 degrees. In addition, when the compression ratio is 75:25, the suction port 51 is located on 270 °.

On the other hand, the configuration of the bypass will be described as follows.

3 and 6A, 6B, the bypass is a bypass suction port 301 connected to the suction port 51 and the space on both sides of the compression chamber partitioned by the vanes 90 That is, it has a first bypass discharge port 390a and a second bypass discharge port 390b formed in the cylinder 50 so as to be connected to the low pressure discharge part 210 and the high pressure discharge part 220, respectively. At this time, the first bypass discharge port 390a and the second bypass discharge port 390b are preferably spaced apart from the vanes 90 at equal intervals.

In order to connect the bypass suction port 301 and the first and second bypass discharge ports 390a and 390b with each other, a first bypass hole 310 is formed in the cylinder 50. The first bypass hole 310 is formed parallel to the axial direction, and the bypass suction port 301 is formed at an end portion thereof.

In addition, a second bypass hole 320 connected to the first bypass hole 310 is formed in the lower bearing 70.

In addition, the lower bearing 70 has a second bypass hole 330a connected to the first bypass discharge port 390a and a third bypass hole 330b connected to the second bypass discharge port 390b. Are formed respectively. The bypass holes 310, 320, 330a, and 330b are all formed parallel to the axial direction.

In addition, the second bypass hole 320 and the third bypass hole 330 and the second bypass hole 320 and the fourth bypass hole 340 are disposed below the lower bearing 70. In order to provide a space in communication with each other, a muffler 11 is provided. The muffler 11 functions to connect the bypass holes 310, 320, 330, and 340 to each other and to store gas. In addition, the muffler 11 also has a function of reducing noise due to the flow of gas.

Accordingly, the bypass suction port 301 and the first and second bypass discharge ports 390a and 390b are connected to the bypass holes 310, 320, 330 and 340 by a space provided by the muffler 11.

On the other hand, the first and second bypass discharge port (390a, 390b) is provided with a valve module (VM) for selectively opening and closing the discharge port by the pressure difference, respectively.

The configuration of the valve module (VM) is as follows.

The valve module VM basically includes a suction plate 410 having a gas suction hole 410 a, a discharge plate 420 spaced apart from the suction plate 410, and a gas discharge hole 420 a formed therein, and the suction plate 410. And a valve housing formed of an outer wall 440 surrounding the discharge plate 420, and installed between the suction plate 410 and the discharge plate 420 of the valve housing to move therebetween. Including a valve plate 430 is formed in the through hole 430a in a position avoiding the gas suction hole 410a, and the elastic member 450 for pressing the valve plate 430 to be in close contact with the suction plate 410 It is composed.

At this time, the suction plate 410 and the discharge plate 420 may form a variety of forms, such as a disc or square plate.

In addition, the through hole 430a of the valve plate 430 is formed at the same position as the gas discharge hole 420a of the discharge plate 420.

On the other hand, the gas suction hole 410a of the suction plate 410 is preferably formed at the same interval at the edge of the plate, in this case, the through hole 430a formed in the valve plate 430 is formed to be located in the center of the plate This is preferred.

In addition, the gas suction hole 410a may have various shapes such as a circular shape as shown in FIG. 7A as well as an arc shape as shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C, and the number thereof may be appropriately adjusted.

In addition, since the gas suction hole 410a of the suction plate 410 and the through hole 430a of the valve plate 430 only need to be formed at positions not overlapping with each other, the formation position need not be limited.

That is, for example, the gas suction hole 410a of the suction plate 410 is formed to be located at the center of the suction plate 410, and the through hole 430a of the valve plate 430 is the suction plate ( A plurality of gas may be formed at the edges of the valve plate 430 to avoid the gas intake hole 410a of the 410 to be equally spaced apart.

On the other hand, as the elastic member 450, a compression spring is used, it is preferable that a guide member for guiding the position of the compression spring is provided. An example of installing the guide member may include a case in which the boss 460 is formed at an inner side edge of the discharge hole 420a of the discharge plate 420.

The valve module VM configured as described above opens and closes the bypass discharge ports 390a and 390b.

Hereinafter, the operation of the rotary compressor according to the present invention in detail.

4A to 4D are cross-sectional views sequentially showing the action when the roller rotates counterclockwise in the rotary compressor according to the present invention. FIG. 4A shows a suction start step, FIG. 4B shows a compression and discharge step, FIG. 4C shows a discharge end step, and FIG. 4D shows a vacuum region formed in the compression chamber.

First, the roller 80 revolves counterclockwise in the drawing while rolling along the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder 50 due to the rotation of the crankshaft 40. During this process, the suction port 51 is opened, and gas is sucked into the compression chamber through the suction port 51. At this time, the gas supplied directly to the compression chamber through the suction port 51 is sucked only into the high pressure discharge part 220 by the roller 80. This is as shown in FIG. 4A.

Next, as the roller 80 continues to revolve, the gas of the high pressure discharge part 220 is compressed while the volume of the high pressure discharge part 220 is reduced. During this process, the vane 90 is elastically moved forward and backward by the spring 95 and the roller 80 to maintain the airtightness of the high-pressure discharge portion 220. At the same time, new gas is continuously sucked through the suction port 51.

Thereafter, when the pressure of the high pressure discharge part 220 is equal to or higher than a predetermined pressure, the discharge valve 110 (see FIG. 1) of the high pressure discharge part 220 is opened. Therefore, the gas of the high pressure discharge part 220 starts to be discharged to the muffler 140 (see FIG. 1) through the discharge port 61. This is as shown in Figure 4b.

In addition, when the roller 80 continues to revolve and reaches a predetermined time point, all of the gases of the high pressure discharge part 220 are discharged to the muffler 140 through the discharge port 61. After all of the gas is discharged through the discharge port 61, the discharge valve 110 closes the discharge port 61 by its elasticity. This is as shown in FIG. 4C.

Thereafter, the roller 80 continues to revolve in a counterclockwise direction, whereby the gas is discharged to the muffler while undergoing suction, compression, and discharge processes as described above.

Meanwhile, the vacuum region V is formed at one side of the compression chamber during the above-described process. That is, when the discharge step is completed (state of FIG. 4C) by the counterclockwise revolution of the roller 80 and reaches the state shown in FIG. 4D, the area where the roller 80 has passed, that is, the vane ( A vacuum region V is formed in the left space 210 partitioned by 90 and the roller 80. The vacuum state of the vacuum region V is eliminated in the first bypass discharge port 390a of the present invention. Means are provided to solve this problem.

This process is explained as follows.

First, when the roller 80 continues to rotate in the counterclockwise direction, the left space 210 of the compression chamber is in a vacuum state as shown in FIG. 4D.

At this time, a significant pressure difference occurs between the vacuum region V and the region inside the muffler 11.

Therefore, before the vacuum region V is generated, the valve plate 430 closing the gas suction hole 410a of the suction plate 410, as shown by the virtual line in FIG. 6A, generates a vacuum region V. Accordingly, due to the pressure difference, the compression spring moves in the compression direction to open the gas suction hole 410a of the suction plate 410 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 6A.

Accordingly, the gas introduced into the gas suction hole 410a of the suction plate 410 discharges gas from the discharge plate 420 corresponding to the through hole 430a and the through hole 430a formed in the center of the valve plate 430. Flow into the vacuum area through the ball 420a, thereby eliminating the vacuum area.

On the other hand, when the pressure difference between the vacuum region and the inner region of the muffler 11 is resolved, the valve plate 430 moves in a direction in close contact with the suction plate 410 by the restoring force of the compression spring.

In addition, in the state as shown in FIG. 5B in which the roller 80 rotates clockwise and compresses the refrigerant, gas is compressed in the right space 210 of the compression chamber while the roller 80 is compressed in the right space 210 of the compression chamber. As the pressure acts on the valve plate 430, the valve plate 430 is maintained in close contact with the suction plate 410 as shown in FIG. 6B, and the gas suction hole of the suction plate 410 is maintained. Blocking the 410a to block the leakage of the compressed gas.

Accordingly, since the compressed gas in the low pressure discharge unit 210 of the compression chamber does not exit the compression space, the compression process in the low pressure discharge unit 210 may proceed smoothly.

That is, during refrigerant compression, the valve module VM closes the bypass discharge port.

On the other hand, Figures 5a to 5d is a cross-sectional view sequentially showing the action when the roller rotates clockwise in the rotary compressor according to the present invention. FIG. 5A shows a suction start step, FIG. 5B shows a compression and discharge step, FIG. 5C shows a discharge end step, and FIG. 5D shows a vacuum region formed in the compression chamber.

Due to the reverse rotation of the crankshaft 40, the roller 80 revolves clockwise in the drawing while rolling along the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder 50. During this process, the suction port 51 is opened, and gas is sucked into the compression chamber through the suction port 51.

At this time, the gas supplied directly to the compression chamber through the suction port 51 is sucked only into the low pressure discharge part 210 by the roller 80. This is as shown in FIG. 5A.

Next, as the roller 80 continues to revolve, the gas of the low pressure discharge unit 210 is compressed while the volume of the low pressure discharge unit 210 decreases. At the same time, new gas is continuously sucked into the high pressure discharge part 220 through the suction port 51.

Thereafter, when the pressure of the low pressure discharge unit 210 is equal to or higher than a predetermined pressure, the discharge valve 120 (see FIG. 1) of the low pressure discharge unit 210 is opened. Accordingly, the gas of the low pressure discharge part 210 begins to be discharged toward the muffler 140 (see FIG. 1) through the discharge port 63. This is as shown in FIG. 5B.

Thereafter, as the roller 80 continues to revolve, all of the gas of the high pressure discharge part 220 is discharged to the muffler through the discharge port 63. After all of the gas is discharged through the discharge port 63, the discharge valve 120 closes the discharge port 63 by its elasticity. This is as shown in FIG. 5C.

Thereafter, the roller 80 continues to revolve in a clockwise direction, whereby the gas is discharged to the muffler while undergoing suction, compression, and discharge processes as described above.

Similarly, the vacuum region V is formed at one side of the compression chamber during the above-described process.

That is, when the discharge step is completed by the clockwise revolution of the roller 80 and the state shown in FIG. 5D is reached, the area where the roller 80 has passed, that is, the vanes 90 and the roller 80 The vacuum region V is formed in the right space 220 partitioned by the same. The vacuum bypass V is also applied to the second bypass discharge port 390b of the present invention as in the first bypass discharge port 390a. Means for solving the vacuum state of the is provided, it will be eliminated.

Since the configuration and operation principle of the vacuum release valve module VM provided in the second bypass discharge port 390b are the same as in the above-described embodiment, description thereof will be omitted.

On the other hand, the necessity and characteristics of the vacuum region releasing means of the present invention described above are as follows.

A vacuum region V is periodically formed in the compression chamber, and the vacuum region V causes a sudden pressure change. That is, when the suction port 51 is opened due to the idle of the roller 80, a significant pressure difference occurs between the vacuum region V and the suction port 51, and this pressure change is caused by the crankshaft 40. It acts as a significant load, which not only causes a lot of power consumption, but also lowers the efficiency of the compressor, and causes periodic noise generation in the suction port 51.

However, the rotary compressor according to the present invention artificially solves the vacuum region (V). To this end, a structure capable of supplying gas to the vacuum region V is required, and in particular, gas before compression is supplied in consideration of compression efficiency. Accordingly, the present invention provides a bypass structure capable of supplying the gas of the suction port 51 to the vacuum region (V).

In addition, the bypass structure further has the following features.

First, the bypass is a one-way flow path. In other words, the bypass allows only the gas before compression to move into the compression chamber, but not the reverse movement. This is to prevent backflow of compressed gas through the bypass.

Secondly, the bypass has a valve member that is opened and closed automatically by a pressure difference. This is because the bypass is a one-way flow path, so a separate valve member for controlling opening and closing is required.

Third, the bypass has two one-way flow paths. As described above, the compression chamber is divided into a high pressure discharge unit 220 and a low pressure discharge unit 210 based on the vanes 90. The high pressure discharge part 220 and the low pressure discharge part 210 have a vacuum region V, respectively, along the revolution direction of the roller 80. Therefore, in order to solve the vacuum area V regardless of the revolution direction of the roller 80, any one of the bypass is connected to the high pressure discharge unit 220, and the other is the low pressure discharge unit ( 210).

Fourth, the bypass has a storage space for storing the gas before compression. The bypass is a flow path connecting the suction port 51 and the compression chamber. Therefore, when the bypass has a storage space, gas can always be supplied to the vacuum region V of the compression chamber.

Meanwhile, as described above, the compressed gas sucked into the compression chamber, compressed, and discharged to the muffler 140 through the discharge ports 61 and 63 is discharged to the muffler 140 again as shown in FIG. 1. It is discharged to the internal space of the case 1 through 141.

Subsequently, the compressed gas moves upward through the space between the rotor 30 and the stator 20 or the space between the stator 20 and the case 1. Thereafter, the compressed gas moves to a predetermined destination through the discharge tube 9.

On the other hand, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that it can be embodied in various other forms without departing from the scope of the technical spirit of the present invention.

Accordingly, the described embodiments are to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive, and all embodiments within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents are included within the scope of the present invention.

The rotary compressor according to the present invention can compress the gas in which direction the crankshaft rotates. In addition, the compression capacity may vary depending on the revolution direction of the crankshaft. This is an operation that cannot be expected at all in the conventional rotary compressor, and provides the following effects.

First, in order to realize double capacity compression, two compressors and inverters having different compression capacities are combined. In this case, the structure is considerably complicated and the unit price has to rise. However, the present invention can realize double capacity compression with only one compressor without the need for an inverter. In particular, the present invention can realize double capacity compression by changing only minimal components from conventional rotary compressors.

Second, the conventional compressor having a single compression capacity could not cope with various operating conditions such as an air conditioner or a refrigerator. In this case, power consumption was inevitably wasted more than necessary. However, the present invention can produce a suitable compression capacity corresponding to the operating conditions of the device.

On the other hand, as described above, the vacuum compressor is inevitably generated as the rotary compressor according to the present invention implements a variable capacity while the forward / reverse rotation. However, the rotary compressor according to the present invention has a bypass structure capable of supplying gas before compression to the vacuum region.

Therefore, it is possible to solve various problems that may be caused by the generation of the vacuum region, that is, a decrease in compression efficiency, unnecessary power consumption and noise generation.
