  • the electromotive element is constituted of a ring-shaped stator attached along the inner peripheral surface of the upper space of the sealed container, and rotor rotatably inserted into a magnetic field generated by this stator and fixed to a rotary shaft which also serves as a crank shaft to drive the rotary compression element.
  • the rotary compression element is constituted of a cylinder, a roller fitted into an eccentric portion formed in the rotary shaft to eccentrically rotate in the cylinder, and a vane which abuts on the cylinder to divide the inside of the cylinder into a low pressure chamber side and a high pressure chamber side. Moreover, in the bottom part of the sealed container, oil for lubricating sliding portions such as the rotary compression element and the rotary shaft is stored.
  • the refrigerant gas discharged to the discharge muffler is discharged into the sealed container through discharge holes which connect the discharge muffler to the sealed container and which are directed upwardly to the electromotive element.
  • the oil supplied to the rotary compression element and having a mist state is mixed in the refrigerant gas, and the oil is discharged together with the refrigerant gas into the sealed container.
  • the refrigerant gas discharged into the sealed container passes through a refrigerant passage formed in the electromotive element and is discharged to the outside of a discharge pipe provided above the electromotive element (see e.g., JP-A-9-151885).
  • the present invention has been developed to solve such problems of the conventional technology, and an object thereof is to promote oil separation in the sealed container, thereby decreasing the amount of the oil discharged to the outside of the compressor.
  • a sealed type rotary compressor in which a rotary compression element is received in the lower part of a sealed container and in which an electromotive element is received above this rotary compression element, the electromotive element being constituted of a stator, and a rotor rotatably inserted into a magnetic field generated by this stator and fixed to a rotary shaft which also serves as a crank shaft to drive the rotary compression element,
  • the compressor comprising: a discharge hole provided at positions facing the end surface of the rotor and through which a compressed refrigerant from the rotary compression element is discharged into the sealed container; and a refrigerant flow path which is extended from a space surrounded with a coil end of the stator projecting from the end surface of the rotor to a rotary compression element side to a space of an air gap between the rotor and the stator, to guide the compressed refrigerant discharged through the discharge hole to the electromotive element opposite to the rotary compression element side,
  • the sealed type rotary compressor of a second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that in the above aspect of the present invention, one of openings of the discharge pipe which guides the compressed refrigerant in the sealed container to the outside therefrom is directed to the inside of the ring-shaped refrigerant flow path in the sealed container.
  • the sealed type rotary compressor of a third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that in the second aspect of the present invention, a distance between the end surface of the rotor opposite to the rotary compression element side and the inner wall surface of the sealed container in the direction of the rotary shaft is 25 mm or more.
  • the sealed type rotary compressor in which the rotary compression element is received in the lower part of the sealed container and in which the electromotive element is received above this rotary compression element, the electromotive element being constituted of the stator, and the rotor rotatably inserted into the magnetic field generated by this stator and fixed to the rotary shaft which also serves as the crank shaft to drive the rotary compression element.
  • the compressor comprises the discharge hole provided at the positions facing the end surface of the rotor and through which the compressed refrigerant from the rotary compression element is discharged into the sealed container; and the refrigerant flow path which is extended from the space surrounded with the coil end of the stator projecting from the end surface of the rotor to the rotary compression element side to the space of the air gap between the rotor and the stator, to guide the compressed refrigerant discharged through the discharge hole to the electromotive element opposite to the rotary compression element side, whereby the compressed refrigerant discharged through the discharge hole is caused to collide with the end surface of the rotating rotor, and can be stirred.
  • This can promote oil separation in the space surrounded with the coil end of the stator.

  • the outlet of this refrigerant flow path opposite to the rotary compression element side faces the inner wall surface of the sealed container. Therefore, the refrigerant passing through the refrigerant flow path to reach the electromotive element opposite to the rotary compression element side collides with the inner wall surface of the sealed container, diffuses in the space of the electromotive element opposite to the rotary compression element side, and is then discharged to the outside of the sealed container. In this way, the diffusion in the space of the electromotive element opposite to the rotary compression element side further enables separating the oil. In consequence, the oil separation is efficiently performed, and the oil discharged to the outside of the compressor can noticeably be decreased.
  • one of the openings of the discharge pipe which guides the compressed refrigerant in the sealed container to the outside therefrom is directed to the inside of the ring-shaped refrigerant flow path in the sealed container, whereby the compressed refrigerant which has reached the electromotive element opposite to the rotary compression element side through the refrigerant flow path can be inhibited from directly reaching the discharge pipe.

  • the oil can further be separated from the refrigerant passing through the space S 2 .
  • this outlet is provided so as to face the inner wall surface of the sealed container 2 , the refrigerant discharged through the outlet collides with the inner wall surface of the sealed container 2 to diffuse in the space B.

  • an oil separation performance can be improved.
  • the distance D between the upper surface of the stop plate 45 provided on the upper end surface of the rotor 7 and the inner wall surface of the end cap 2 B of the sealed container 2 corresponding to and disposed above the stop plate is 25 mm or more, whereby an oil separation space of the electromotive element 4 opposite to the rotary compression mechanism 3 side is sufficiently secured, and the oil separation performance can further be improved.
