Compressor discharge valve

摘要

A discharge valve for a compressor includes a valve plate having a recessed portion formed around a discharge port with a valve seat. A channel having a raised bottom surface is formed at the recessed portion. A valve reed is positioned at the recessed portion, having a circular portion for engaging with the valve seat and a base portion supported on the raised bottom surface of the channel. A valve spring is resiliently mounted over the valve reed to hold the valve reed. The valve spring has an inwardly bent section for press-contacting with the valve reed and an outwardly bowed section with a bent tip, which is resiliently deformable for adapting to the opening movement of the valve reed.
