Original Abstract Submitted

A rotary compressor includes a casing, a compression mechanism housed inside the casing to compress a refrigerant, a drive shaft to drive the compression mechanism, a motor to rotate the drive shaft, and a partitioning member housed inside the casing. The partitioning member partitions an interior of the casing into a first space into which the refrigerant compressed by the compression mechanism is discharged, and a second space provided between the partitioning member and the motor. The partitioning member has a discharge flow path through which the refrigerant is discharged from the first space to the second space. The discharge flow path includes an inclined flow path that extends while inclining toward downstream in a direction of rotation of the motor.
