Valved discharge mechanism of a fluid displacement apparatus

摘要

A fluid displacement apparatus comprises a valve plate member dividing into a first chamber and a second chamber comprising a discharge chamber. A passage is formed in the valve plate member and communicates the first chamber with the discharge chamber. An elastic valve member is disposed on the valve plate and is capable of bending to open and close the end opening of the passage. The valve retainer member is secured to the valve plate together with the elastic valve member by a securing means and has a curved portion formed at a extreme portion of the valve retainer member. The valve seat includes a recessed portion offset from end surface of the valve plate. The recessed portion includes a inclined portion and a wall portion extending therefrom. A first distance formed between a beginning portion of the curved portion of the valve retainer member and the securing means is greater than a second distance formed between an edge portion of the recessed portion of the valve seat and the securing means. Noise and vibration caused by the striking of discharge reed valve against the valve seat and the retainer member are thus decreased.
