ROTARY COMPRESSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18443400 titled 'ROTARY COMPRESSOR

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a rotary compressor with a vane support portion that prevents axial tilting of the vanes, reducing friction loss and vibration noise during operation.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Rotary compressor design with vane support portion
  • Axial support for vanes to prevent tilting
  • Reduction of friction loss, wear, and vibration noise
  • Wide axial support area for vanes passing contact point

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various rotary compressor systems used in refrigeration, air conditioning, and other industrial applications where efficient compression is required.

Problems Solved: The technology addresses the issue of axial tilting of vanes in rotary compressors, which can lead to increased friction loss, wear, and vibration noise, affecting the overall performance and efficiency of the compressor.

Benefits:

  • Improved efficiency and performance of rotary compressors
  • Reduced friction loss and wear
  • Quieter operation with less vibration noise
  • Enhanced durability and reliability of compressor systems

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include refrigeration systems, air conditioning units, heat pumps, and other industrial processes that require rotary compressors for compression of gases or refrigerants.

Questions about Rotary Compressors: 1. How does the vane support portion in the rotary compressor prevent axial tilting of the vanes? 2. What are the key benefits of reducing friction loss and vibration noise in rotary compressor systems?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in rotary compressor technology, including improvements in vane design, materials, and overall compressor efficiency.

By focusing on the innovative vane support portion in rotary compressors, this technology aims to enhance the performance, efficiency, and reliability of compressor systems across various industrial applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

A rotary compressor is disclosed. The rotary compressor may include a casing, a cylinder, main and sub bearings, a rotational shaft, a roller, at least one vane, and a vane support portion that axially supports the at least one vane formed on a bearing surface to extend along a reciprocating direction of the at least one vane from an inner circumferential surface of at least one back pressure pocket at an end of circumferential ends of the at least one back pressure pocket, adjacent to a contact point, and/or protrude axially from the inner circumferential surface of the at least one back pressure pocket and extend in a circumferential direction. This may secure a wide axial support area for a rear end of the at least one vane passing the contact point and/or near the contact point, to suppress or prevent axial tilting of the at least one vane, thereby reducing friction loss, wear, and vibration noise due to the axial tilting of the at least one vane during operation of the compressor.
