HERMETIC COMPRESSOR

摘要

A hermetic compressor including a housing containing oil and a compression mechanism for compressing a refrigerant gas. In this configuration, a cylindrical piston has under cuts which do not communicate with at least a top surface at a cylinder side of the piston and are formed on an outer circumferential surface of the piston excluding a sliding surface existing in the axial direction of a piston pin and the perpendicular direction of the piston pin viewed from the axial direction of the piston, in which the under cuts communicate with space inside the housing in the vicinity of the bottom dead center. Since the sliding surface is provided in the direction parallel to and perpendicular to the axis, inclination of the piston in the vertical direction is suppressed and at the same time oil supply to the sliding portion through the under cuts is promoted. Therefore, the sealing property and lubricant property are improved, and thus high efficiency of the compressor can be realized.
