- Compressor element 109 also includes connecting rod 129 provided with small end hole 130 and large end hole 131 formed therein for connecting piston 127 and eccentric shaft portion 111.
- Compressor element 109 further includes countershaft bearing 123 provided in cylinder block 121 for axially supporting countershaft portion 113 of shaft 117.
- compressor element 109 includes main shaft bearing 125 made of an aluminum -based material, which is fixed to cylinder block 121 for axially supporting main shaft portion 115 of shaft 117. Screw 132 is used for fixing main shaft bearing 125 to cylinder block 121.
- An outer diameter of countershaft portion 113 of shaft 117 is smaller than an outer diameter of eccentric shaft portion 111.
- Connecting section 133 is formed between eccentric shaft portion 111 and countershaft portion 113 of shaft 117, and connecting section 133 has an axial length sufficient to allow large end hole 131 of connecting rod 129 inserted from eccentric shaft portion 111 to move into a position coaxial with eccentric shaft portion 111.
- Extended surface 135 of eccentric shaft portion 111 is formed at a side, which is opposite to an eccentric axis, of connecting section 133. Extended surface 135 is processed simultaneously with a finishing process of eccentric shaft portion 111.
- eccentric shaft portion 111 is coaxial with eccentric shaft portion 111, and they both have same curvature with a high precision.

- curved configuration 139 is formed between the eccentric axis side of connecting section 133 and end surface 137, which is a side of countershaft portion 113, of eccentric shaft portion lllof shaft 117.
- Curved configuration 143 is formed between one side of connecting section 133 opposite the eccentric axis side and end surface 141, which is a side of the eccentric shaft portion 111, of the countershaft portion 113 of shaft 117.
- Rotor 105 is fitted to main shaft portion 115 of shaft 117. Stator 105 is fixed in a position underneath cylinder block 121.
- the hermetic compressor constructed as above operates in a manner, which will be described hereinafter.
- Rotor 107 of motor element 103 rotates shaft 117.

- piston 127 moves reciprocally in compression chamber 119.
- the refrigerant gas is introduced into compression chamber 119 from a cooling system (not shown), compressed, and discharged again to the cooling system. Description is provided next of the steps of assembling shaft 117.
- Piston con-rod assembly 147 is assembled beforehand, as shown in Fig. 3, in which piston 127 and small end hole 130 in connecting rod 129 are connected with piston pin 145. After piston 127 of piston con-rod assembly 147 is built into compression chamber 119 of cylinder block 121, cylinder block 121 is placed with compression chamber 119 facing downward. Since piston con-rod assembly 147 is not fixed, it slides down by its own weight to top side 121a of cylinder block 121.
- countershaft portion 113 of shaft 117 is inserted into cylinder block 121 from the opposite side of countershaft bearing 123. During this step, countershaft portion 113 is inserted into large end hole 131 of connecting rod 129 while lifting piston con-rod assembly 147.
- curved configuration 143 is formed between one side of connecting section 133 opposite the eccentric axis and end surface 141, which is a side of eccentric shaft portion 111, of countershaft portion 113, as shown in Fig. 6. Therefore, piston con-rod assembly 147 can slide along curved configuration 143 to extended surface 135 while keeping an inner sliding surface of large end hole 131 in contact with curved configuration 143.
- This structure prevents damages to the inner sliding surface of large end hole 131 of connecting rod 129 since it can alleviate an impact, which occurs when large end hole 131 falls upon connecting section 133.
- Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 there is also curved configuration 139 formed between the eccentric axis side of connecting section 133 and end surface 137 of eccentric shaft portion 111.
- refrigerant and refrigerating machine oil described here is an example using R600a and mineral oil
- this invention can be embodied with any type of refrigerant selected from the group of R290, a mixture containing this and other refrigerants, Rl34a, R152, R407C, R404A and R410, and any kind of refrigerating machine oil compatible with the above refrigerants.
- the hermetic compressor of this exemplary embodiment includes compressor element 109 enclosed inside hermetically sealed container 101, as described above.
- Compressor element 109 is provided with cylinder block 121 constituting compression chamber 119 of a substantially cylindrical shape, and shaft 117 having eccentric shaft portion 111, countershaft portion 113 and main shaft portion 115 integrally-formed, countershaft portion 113 and main shaft portion 115 being formed in the coaxial manner with eccentric shaft portion 111 between them.
- Compressor element 109 also includes countershaft bearing 123 formed at cylinder block 121 for axially supporting countershaft portion 113, main shaft bearing 125 also formed at cylinder block 121 for axially supporting main shaft portion 115, piston 127 for making reciprocating motion inside compression chamber 119, and connecting rod 129 for connecting piston 127 and eccentric shaft portion 111, connecting rod 129 provided with large end hole 131 which is fitted to eccentric shaft portion 111.
- Connecting section 133 is formed between eccentric shaft portion 111 and countershaft portion 113 of shaft 117, and connecting section 133 has an axial length sufficient to allow large end hole 131 to move into a position coaxial with eccentric shaft portion 111.
- Extended surface 135 of eccentric shaft portion 111 is formed on at a side, which is opposite the eccentric axis, of connecting section 133.
- extended surface 135 next to eccentric shaft portion 111 is processed simultaneously with the finishing process of eccentric shaft portion 111, and in a shape of circular arc in cross section having the same curvature as that of the inner wall of large end hole 131, as described above. Accordingly, the center of axis of eccentric shaft portion 111 can be aligned easily with that of extended surface 135 conjoining eccentric shaft portion 111, since extended surface 135 and eccentric shaft portion 111 are processed at the same time into shapes of the same curvature with that of the inner wall of large end hole 131. As a result, the above structure can further improve the workability and productivity in assembling of shaft 117, and provide the hermetic compressor of high reliability and high productivity.
- the hermetic compressor of this exemplary embodiment is provided with curved configuration 139 formed between the eccentric axis side of connecting section 133 and end surface 137, which is a side of countershaft portion 113, of eccentric shaft portion 111, as described above.
- This structure can therefore prevent connecting section 133 at the side of eccentric shaft portion 111 from damaging the inner sliding surface of large end hole 131 during insertion of shaft 117 into large end hole 131 of connecting rod 129. It can also reduce the possibility of large end hole 131 to become tilted with respect to extended surface 135 so as to help ease the alignment of the center of axes since extended surface 135 has a larger circumferential dimension at the side closer to eccentric shaft portion 111. Accordingly, it can further prevent the sliding surface of large end hole 131 in connecting rod 129 from being damaged. As a result, it can improve the workability and productivity in assembling the shaft, and provide the hermetic compressor of high reliability and high productivity.
- the hermetic compressor of this exemplary embodiment is provided with curved configuration 143 formed between one side of connecting section 133 opposite the eccentric axis and end surfaces 141, which is a side of eccentric shaft portion 111, of countershaft portion 113, as described above.
- This structure can alleviate an impact when large end hole 131 falls upon connecting section 133 since large end hole 131 slides along curved configuration 143 of connecting section 133 when it falls upon connecting section 133 after clearing through countershaft portion 113. It can thus positively prevent the sliding surfaces of eccentric shaft portion 111 of shaft 117 and large end hole 131 of connecting rod 129 from being damaged. Accordingly, it can further improve the workability and productivity in assembling the shaft, and provide the hermetic compressor of even higher reliability and productivity.

- compressor element 209 includes main shaft bearing 225 made of an aluminum-based material, which is fixed to cylinder block 221 for axially supporting main shaft portion 215 of shaft 217. Screw 232 is used for fixing main shaft bearing 225 to cylinder block 221.
- An outer diameter of countershaft portion 213 of shaft 217 is of same size as that of eccentric shaft portion 211.
- Connecting section 233 is formed between eccentric shaft portion 211 and countershaft portion 213 of shaft 217, and connecting section 233 has an axial length sufficient to allow large end hole 231 of connecting rod 229 inserted from eccentric shaft portion 211 to move into a position coaxial with eccentric shaft portion 211.
- Extended surface 235 of eccentric shaft portion 211 is formed on at a side, which is opposite the eccentric axis, of connecting section 233. Extended surface 235 is processed simultaneously with the finishing process of eccentric shaft portion 211.
- extended surface 235 formed on connecting section 233 is coaxial with eccentric shaft portion 211, and they both have same curvature with a high precision.
- Eccentric shaft portion 211 is provided with chamfered edge 236 on end surface 237 nearer to countershaft portion 213.
- extended surface 238 of countershaft portion 213 is formed on connecting section 233 at the side of eccentric shaft portion 211 of shaft 217, and extended surface 238 is processed simultaneously with the finishing process of countershaft portion 213.
- extended surface 238 formed on connecting section 233 is coaxial with countershaft portion 213, and they both have same curvature with a high precision.

- Curved configuration 243 is formed between one side of connecting section 233 opposite the eccentric axis and end surface 241, which is a side of eccentric shaft portion 211, of countershaft portion 213 of shaft 217.
- Rotor 207 is fitted to main shaft portion 215 of shaft 217.
- Stator 205 is fixed in a position underneath cylinder block 221.
- the hermetic compressor constructed as above operates in a manner, which will be described hereinafter.
- Rotor 207 of motor element 203 rotates shaft 217.
- the rotary motion of eccentric shaft portion 211 is transferred to piston 227 through connecting rod 229.
- the refrigerant gas is introduced into compression chamber 219 from a cooling system (not shown), compressed, and discharged again to the cooling system. Description is provided next of the steps of assembling shaft 217.
- Piston con-rod assembly 247 is assembled beforehand, as shown in Fig. 11, in which piston 227 and small end hole 230 in connecting rod 229 are connected with piston pin 245. After piston 227 of piston con-rod assembly 247 is built into compression chamber 219 of cylinder block 221, cylinder block 221 is placed with compression chamber 219 facing downward. Piston con-rod assembly 247 receives a force of shifting toward top side 221a of cylinder block 221 by its own weight. However, accessory device 248 is used in this case to hold connecting rod 229 in the vicinity of large end hole 231, so as to keep piston con-rod assembly 247 lifted. In this way, the position of connecting rod 229 is maintained at a height where the center of axis of large end hole 231 is in alignment to that of countershaft bearing 223.
- countershaft portion 213 of shaft 217 is inserted into cylinder block 221 from the opposite side of countershaft bearing 223.
- Countershaft portion 213 is thus inserted into large end hole 231 of connecting rod 229.
- countershaft portion 213 can fit to large end hole 231 with a small gap since the outer diameter of countershaft portion 213 is made to be same size as that of eccentric shaft portion 211 where large end hole 231 is fitted, and this can prevent countershaft portion 213 and large end hole 231 from hitting against each other to avoid damages to their sliding surfaces during insertion.
- this structure can positively prevent damages to the sliding surfaces of countershaft portion 213 of shaft 217 and large end hole 231 of connecting rod 229.
- shaft 217 is pushed further in a manner to insert countershaft portion 213 into countershaft bearing 223 while still maintaining the position of piston con-rod assembly 247 with accessory device 248, as shown in Fig. 12.
- extended surface 238 formed on connecting section 233 can continue to move on the sliding surface of large end hole 231 even after countershaft portion 213 has cleared therethrough because extended surface 238 of connecting section 233 is coaxial with countershaft portion 213 and they both have the same curvature with a high precision.
- This structure can make the position of shaft 217 stable, which help ease the process of insertion.
- curved configuration 239 between the eccentric axis side of connecting section 233 and end surface 237 of eccentric shaft portion 211 can increase a circumferential dimension of extended surface 235 at the side closer to eccentric shaft portion 211, as shown in Fig. 14. It can hence reduce the possibility of large end hole 231 to become tilted with respect to extended surface 235. As a result, it further helps ease the alignment of the center of axes before fitting eccentric shaft portion 211, which substantially improves the workability of inserting eccentric shaft portion 211 into large end hole 231.
- large end hole 231 can slide on extended surface 235 when shaft 217 is pushed further since the axis of large end hole 231 is already in alignment to the axis of eccentric shaft portion 211 by making use of extended surface 235. Accordingly, large end hole 231 can be brought easily to fit to eccentric shaft portion 211, to thereby complete the process of fitting countershaft portion 213 to countershaft bearing 223 of cylinder block 221.
- refrigerant and refrigerating machine oil described here is an example using R600a and mineral oil
- this invention can be embodied with any type of refrigerant selected from the group of R290, a mixture containing this and other refrigerants, R134a, R152, R407C, R404A and R410, and any kind of refrigerating machine oil compatible with the above refrigerants.
- the hermetic compressor of this exemplary embodiment includes countershaft portion 213 provided with the same outer diameter as that of eccentric shaft portion 211, which fits to large end hole 231.
- This structure can therefore prevent damages to the sliding surfaces of eccentric shaft portion 211 of shaft 217 and large end hole 231 of connecting rod 229 during the assembling step of fitting eccentric shaft portion 211 of shaft 217 to large end hole 231 of connecting rod 229, since countershaft portion 213 can fit to large end hole 231 with a small gap.
- the structure can also improve the workability and productivity of the assembling process, and provide the hermetic compressor of high reliability and high productivity.
- Hermetic compressors of the present invention are suitable for many applications such as vending machines and air conditioning equipment, besides refrigerators.
