Abstract

A closed type compressor of a low overall height and small vibrations provided with a structure comprising a balancing weight ( 142 ) formed of a first balancing weight ( 146 ) and a second balancing weight ( 148 ) and fixed to eccentric shaft portion ( 112 ), the first balancing weight ( 146 ) located closer to a main shaft portion ( 109 ) than the second balancing weight ( 148 ), and the second balancing weight ( 148 ) jutting out to a position further from an axis of the eccentric shaft portion ( 112 ) than the first balancing weight ( 146 ).

Claims (25)

1. A closed type compressor comprising:

an electric motor component and a compressor component enclosed inside a sealed container, the compressor component including:

a crank shaft having:

a main shaft portion having an axis extending in a first direction: and

an eccentric shaft portion comprising a first end that is proximate to the main shaft portion and an upper end that is opposite to the main shaft portion relative to the first end, wherein an axis of the eccentric shaft portion extends in the first direction parallel to the axis of the main shaft portion;

a block having a compression chamber formed therein;

a piston inserted so as to be removable reciprocally inside of the compression chamber;

a connecting rod connecting the piston and the eccentric shaft portion; and

a balancing weight fixed to the upper end of the eccentric shaft portion opposite the main shaft portion, wherein the balancing weight includes a first balancing weight portion and a second balancing weight portion arranged relative to each other such that a barycentric position of the balancing weight is located further from an axis of the eccentric shaft portion than an axis of the main shaft portion in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction,

the first balancing weight portion is disposed at one side facing closer to the main shaft portion than the second balancing weight portion, and

the second balancing weight portion juts out to a position further from central axis of the eccentric shaft portion than the first balancing weight portion,

wherein the first balancing weight portion and the second balancing weight portion each comprise a first end and a second end that is further from the axis of the eccentric shaft portion that the respective first end in the second direction, and

wherein the first end of the second balancing weight portion is further, in the second direction, from the axis of the eccentric shaft portion of the first balancing weight portion and the second end of the balancing weight portion is further, in the second direction, from the axis of the eccentric shaft portion than the second end of the first balancing weight portion.

2. A closed type compressor comprising:

an electric motor component and a compressor component enclosed inside a sealed container, the compressor component including:

a crank shaft having:

a main shaft portion having an axis extending in a first direction; and

an eccentric shaft portion comprising a first end that is proximate to the main shaft portion and an upper end that is opposite to the main shaft portion relative to the first end, wherein an axis of the eccentric shaft portion extends in the first direction parallel to the axis of the main shaft portion;

a block having a compression chamber formed therein;

a piston inserted so as to be movable reciprocally inside of the compression chamber;

a connecting rod connecting the piston and the eccentric shaft portion; and

a balancing weight fixed to the upper end of the eccentric shaft portion opposite the main shaft portion, wherein the balancing weight includes a first balancing weight portion and a second balancing weight portion,

the first balancing weight portion is disposed at one side facing closer to the main shaft portion than the second balancing weight portion, the first balancing weight portion comprises a first end and a second end that is further, in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, from axis of the eccentric shaft portion than the first end of the first balancing weight portion, and

the second balancing weight portion comprising a first end and a second end that is further, in the second direction, from the axis of the eccentric shaft portion than the first end of the second balancing weight portion,

wherein the first end of the second balancing weight portion is further, in the second direction, from the axis of the eccentric shaft portion than the first end of the first balancing weight portion and the second end of the second balancing weight portion is further, in the second direction, from the axis of the eccentric shaft portion than the second end of the first balancing portion.
