ROTARY COMPRESSOR
First Claim
1. A rotary compressor comprising:
- a hollow compressor housing that is provided with an inlet and an outlet of refrigerant;
a compressing unit that is located in a lower part of the compressor housing to compress refrigerant sucked in from the inlet;
a motor that is located in an upper part of the compressor housing to drive the compressing unit through a rotation shaft; and
an oil supply mechanism that supplies lubricant oil retained in a lower part of the compressor housing to a sliding portion of the compressing unit through an oil supply hole of the rotation shaft, wherein the oil supply mechanism includesa housing hole that has an opening in a lower end of the rotation shaft and is communicated with the oil supply hole,a pump case that includes a lubricant oil inlet in a lower end and an opening in an upper end, the pump case configured to be fitted in the housing hole, anda pump vane that has a plate-like shape and is housed in the housing hole and the pump case, the pump vane including a large width portion at a longitudinal center, which is locked by an upper inner surface of the pump case.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, a rotary compressor includes a compressor housing, a compressing unit, a motor, and an oil supply mechanism. The compressor housing has an inlet and an outlet of refrigerant. The compressing unit compresses refrigerant sucked in from the inlet. The motor drives the compressing unit through a rotation shaft. The oil supply mechanism supplies lubricant oil to the compressing unit through an oil supply hole of the rotation shaft. The oil supply mechanism includes a housing hole, a pump case, and a pump vane. The housing hole is communicated with the oil supply hole. The pump case is fitted in the housing hole. The pump vane is housed in the pump case, and includes a large width portion which is locked by the upper inner surface of the pump case.
