Abstract

Provided is a compressor as a device which can solve a contradictory technical problem of installing an intake sound muffler while downsizing the device under a circumstance that installation of the intake sound muffler is indispensable to reduce intake noise of the compressor, and the compressor comprises: a first lid part provided with a small hole which forms an intake port of the compressor, the lid part constituting a portion of a cylindrical casing of the compressor; a cylindrical part; and a second lid part which forms a small chamber together with the first lid part, wherein the second lid part is provided with a suction nozzle for sucking air into the small chamber.

Claims (35)

1. A compressor comprising:

a first lid part provided with a first intake port which forms an intake port of the compressor, the lid part constituting a portion of a cylindrical casing of the compressor;

a cylindrical part; and

a second lid part which forms a chamber together with the first lid part and the cylindrical part,

wherein the cylindrical part is provided with a second intake port, and the second intake port is connected to a suction nozzle for sucking air into the chamber,

wherein the second intake port is designed in such a way that the first intake port and the second intake port are arranged so that air flow has an angle of 90°,

wherein a filter is installed in the chamber to divide the chamber into a compressor intake port side and the suction nozzle side,

wherein the compressor is a reciprocating compressor and the casing is a cylindrical crank case, and

wherein the compressor does not include a resonance muffler.

2. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the suction nozzle has a length of 100 mm to 150 mm.

3. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the chamber has a diameter which is 5 to 10 times of a diameter of each intake port.

4. A compressor consisting of:

a cylindrical crank case;

a motor;

a cylinder which is provided with an exhaust valve;

a piston which is housed in the cylinder and which is provided with an intake valve;

a crank part which is housed in the cylindrical crank case and which is connected to the motor and to the piston to convert a rotational motion of the motor to a reciprocating motion of the piston;

a first lid part provided with a first intake port which forms an intake port of the compressor, the lid part constituting a portion of the cylindrical crank case of the compressor;

a cylindrical part; and

a second lid part which forms a chamber together with the first lid part and the cylindrical part,

wherein the cylindrical part is provided with a second intake port, and the second intake port is connected to a suction nozzle for sucking air into the chamber,

wherein the second intake port is designed in such a way that the first intake port and the second intake port are arranged so that air flow has an angle of 90°,

wherein a filter is installed in the chamber to divide the chamber into a compressor intake port side and the suction nozzle side.

5. The compressor according to claim 4 , wherein the suction nozzle has a length of 100 mm to 150 mm.

6. The compressor according to claim 4 , wherein the chamber has a diameter which is 5 to 10 times of a diameter of each intake port.

7. A compressor consisting essentially of:

a first lid part provided with a first intake port which forms an intake port of the compressor, the lid part constituting a portion of a cylindrical casing of the compressor;

a cylindrical part; and

a second lid part which forms a chamber together with the first lid part and the cylindrical part,

wherein the cylindrical part is provided with a second intake port, and the second intake port is connected to a suction nozzle for sucking air into the chamber,

wherein the second intake port is designed in such a way that the first intake port and the second intake port are arranged so that air flow has an angle of 90°,

wherein a filter is installed in the chamber to divide the chamber into a compressor intake port side and the suction nozzle side,

wherein the compressor is a reciprocating compressor and the casing is a cylindrical crank case.

8. The compressor according to claim 7 , wherein the suction nozzle has a length of 100 mm to 150 mm.

9. The compressor according to claim 7 , wherein the chamber has a diameter which is 5 to 10 times of a diameter of each intake port.
