Benefits of technology

[0011]Therefore, a feature of the invention is a provision of a hermetic compressor capable of preventing temperature increase of a refrigerant discharged from the compressor and sucked to the hermetic

Problems solved by technology

And, some of the oil discharged to the refrigeration cycle may remain in the refrigeration cycle without being recollected into the hermetic compressor, resulting in oil deficiency inside the hermetic compressor.
This may lower reliability of the hermetic compressor, and the refrigeration cycle may have a lowered heat exchange performance due to the oil remaining therein.
First, because an outlet of the conventional oil separator is connected to the inlet of the compressor having a relatively low pressure, not only the oil separated by the oil separator but also the refrigerant may backflow to the inlet of the compressor. This may cause the amount of the refrigerant which circulates in the refrigeration c

second embodiment

[0061]Hereinafter, an oil pump according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the aforementioned embodiment, one oil pump 1000 was used to both recollect oil separated from a refrigerant by the oil separator 100 and to pump oil stored within the inner space of the casing into the oil passage 23a of the crankshaft 23. However, in the second embodiment, a plurality of oil pumps 1200, 1300 are provided.

first embodiment

[0062]In the embodiment of FIG. 9, a first oil pump 1200 is configured to recollect oil from the oil separator 100, whereas a second oil pump 1300 is configured to pump oil stored within the inner space of the casing 10 into the oil passage 23a of the crankshaft 23. For this, the first oil pump 1200 and the second oil pump 1300 may be implemented as trochoid gear pumps having first and second variable capacities, similar to the oil pump 1000 of the As illustrated in the embodiment of FIG. 9, the first oil pump 1200 and the second oil pump 1300 may be arranged at upper and lower sides of each other in an axial direction, e.g., along the axis of rotation of the two pumps.

[0063]As illustrated in FIG. 9, at a bottom surface of an upper housing 1111, formed is a first pumping space 1151 for inserting a first inner gear 1210 and a first outer gear 1220. At an upper surface of the upper housing 1111, formed is a shaft groove 1152 for inserting the crankshaft 23. Between the shaft groove 1152

Abstract

To a hermetic compressor and a refrigeration cycle device having the same, an oil separator for separating oil from a refrigerant discharged from a compression unit is added. Separated oil is recollected into an oil pump driven by a driving motor. Because refrigerant separated from the oil is prevented from being re-introduced into the compressor, a cooling capability of the refrigeration cycle device may be enhanced. Because the oil pump is driven by the driving force of the driving motor, the compressor may have a simplified configuration, and the fabrication costs may be reduced. The oil used for a crankshaft lubrication process is returned to the oil pump by forming an oil pocket between bearing surfaces of a crankshaft and the oil pump, oil may be prevented from back-flowing to the oil separator from the crankshaft. This may allow oil to be smoothly recollected into the oil pump.
