Abstract

A refrigerating compressor includes a hermetic container accommodating oil, a motor accommodated in the container, a compressing unit provided under the motor and driven by the motor, and a vibration insulating wall. The compressing unit has a crankshaft, a cylinder block, a piston, a connecting rod and a feed oil pipe. The vibration insulating wall is placed inside the container at the bottom and surrounds the feed oil pipe with a given distance in between.

Claims (23)

1 . A refrigerating compressor comprising:

(a) a hermetic container accommodating oil;

(b) a motor accommodated in the hermetic container;

(c) a compressing unit disposed under the motor, accommodated in the container, and driven by the motor, the compressing unit including:

(c-1) a crankshaft having a main shaft and an eccentric section;

(c-2) a cylinder block having a bearing for supporting the main shaft rotatably, and a cylinder,

(c-3) a piston reciprocating in the cylinder;

(c-4) a connecting rod coupling the piston with the eccentric section;

(c-5) a feed oil pipe attached to the eccentric section and having an end dipped into the oil; and

(d) a vibration insulating wall disposed inside the container at a bottom and surrounding the feed oil pipe with a given distance in between.

2 . The refrigerating compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the vibration insulating wall is provided with a communicating hole having a diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the feed oil pipe.

3 . The refrigerating compressor according to claim 2 , wherein an upper end of the vibration insulating wall extends upward and exceeds a surface of the oil.

4 . The refrigerating compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the vibration insulating wall is formed of vibration damping material.

5 . The refrigerating compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the feed oil pipe is formed of steel pipe, has a bent section, and is shaped as a V-shape including an obtuse angle.

6 . The refrigerating compressor according to claim 5 , wherein an upper end of the vibration insulating wall extends upward and exceeds the bent section.

7 . The refrigerating compressor according to claim 1 , wherein an inner wall of the vibration insulating wall is shaped as a body of revolution.

8 . The refrigerating compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the oil is one of mineral oil and alkyl benzene, and the compressor compresses hydrocarbon as refrigerant.

9 . A refrigerating device comprising:

the refrigerating compressor as defined in claim 1 ;

a heat exchanger on heat radiation side coupled with the refrigerating compressor;

an expansion valve coupled with the heat exchanger on heat radiation; and

a heat exchanger on heat absorption side coupled with the expansion valve for running refrigerant having undergone heat-absorption to the refrigerating compressor.

10 . The refrigerating device according to claim 9 , wherein the refrigerant is hydrocarbon, and the oil is one of mineral oil and alkyl benzene.
