Horizontal type orbiting vane compressor

[0042] Now, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043]FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view illustrating the overall structure of a horizontal type orbiting vane compressor according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the horizontal type orbiting vane compressor comprises: a hermetically sealed shell 100, which is horizontally disposed; a compression unit P disposed at one side in the shell 100; and a drive unit D disposed at the other side in the shell 100. The compression unit P and the drive unit D are connected to each other via a rotary shaft 150, which has an eccentric part 151.

[0044] The drive unit D comprises: a stator 110 fixedly disposed in the shell 100; and a rotor 120 disposed in the stator 110 for rotating the rotary shaft 150, which horizontally extends through the rotor 120, when electric current is supplied to the rotor 120.

[0045] The compression unit P comprises an orbi
