- the compressor 1 ensures the rigidity of the first cylinder 21A by the blocking wall portion 150 of the narrowing portion 59, and can increase the strength of the first cylinder 21A. Therefore, the compressor 1 can suppress deformation of the first cylinder 21A even when the intake pipe 2 is inserted into the intake passage 52A of the first cylinder 21A while shaking it.
- the compressor 1 has a shaft side opening 59D at one end of the throttling portion 59 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 40, and a blocking wall 150 at the other end.
- the compressor 1 can expand the opening area of the passage through which the refrigerant passes in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 40 by using the shaft side opening 59D, while ensuring the rigidity of the first cylinder 21A by using the blocking wall 150, thereby increasing the strength of the first cylinder 21A.
- the upper bearing 24A closes the upper end surface of the first cylinder 21A
- the lower bearing 24B closes the lower end surface of the first cylinder 21A.
- the shaft side opening 59D is closed by the lower bearing 24B, and the blocking wall portion 150 is provided to abut against the upper bearing 24A.
- the shaft side opening 59D expands the opening area of the passage through which the refrigerant passes in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 40, while the blocking wall portion 150 ensures the rigidity of the first cylinder 21A, thereby increasing the strength of the first cylinder 21A.
- the intake pipe 2 is press-fitted into the intake passage 52A of the first cylinder 21A. Even when the intake pipe 2 is press-fitted into the intake passage 52A of the first cylinder 21A, the compressor 1 can suppress deformation of the first cylinder 21A because the throttle portion 59 has the throttle top portion 59A, which is the blocking wall portion 150.
- the radially inner end of the constriction top portion 59A which is the blocking wall portion 150, has a through portion 63 that penetrates the first cylinder 21A in the axial direction.
- the refrigerant that reaches the through portion 63 tends to flow to both sides of the first cylinder 21A in the axial direction, and flows into the first cylinder chamber 55A along the lower surface of the upper bearing 24A and the upper surface of the partition plate 25.
- the amount of refrigerant sucked in increases due to the refrigerant passing through the through portion 63, so the refrigeration capacity of the compressor 1 is increased and the compression efficiency is improved.
- the through-holes 63 of the compressor 1 do not widen the opening of the intake passage 52A in the circumferential direction, but widen the intake passage 52A in the axial direction. Compared to when the opening of the intake passage 52A is widened in the circumferential direction, the compressor 1 can ensure the time that the piston 22 blocks the intake passage 52A, thereby suppressing the backflow of refrigerant into the intake passage 52A and suppressing a decrease in compression efficiency.
- the refrigeration cycle device 200 according to the third embodiment is equipped with the compressor 1 according to the third embodiment. Therefore, the refrigeration cycle device 200 can obtain the same effects as the compressor 1 according to the third embodiment.

- the constricted portion 59 In the axial direction of the rotating shaft 40, the constricted portion 59 has one end that opens into the shaft side opening 59D and the other end that is closed by the constricted portion bottom 59A1. In the radial direction of the rotating shaft 40, the constricted portion 59 has one end that communicates with the suction hole 61 and the other end that communicates with the first cylinder chamber 55A.
- the constricted portion bottom 59A1 may have a radially inner end that forms a through portion 63 that penetrates the first cylinder 21A in the axial direction.
- the compressor 1 has a throttling portion 59 in the refrigerant intake passage 52A formed in the first cylinder 21A.

- the throttling portion 59 also has a throttling portion bottom portion 59A1 that is a plate-shaped blocking wall portion 150 provided at the other end in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 40 so as to block the throttling portion 59.
- the constriction portion 59 expands the opening area of the passage through which the refrigerant passes in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 40 by the shaft side opening 59D and the inner opening 59C, while ensuring the rigidity of the first cylinder 21A by the blocking wall portion 150, thereby increasing the strength of the first cylinder 21A.
- the compressor 1 ensures the rigidity of the first cylinder 21A by the blocking wall portion 150 of the constriction portion 59, and can increase the strength of the first cylinder 21A. Therefore, the compressor 1 can suppress deformation of the first cylinder 21A due to external forces such as the pressing force of the first vane 50A against the first cylinder 21A generated by the pressure difference between the first low pressure chamber 57A and the first high pressure chamber 58A, and can increase the strength of the first cylinder 21A.
- the compressor 1 ensures the rigidity of the first cylinder 21A by the blocking wall portion 150 of the narrowing portion 59, and can increase the strength of the first cylinder 21A.
