Rotary compressor assembly with improved vibration suppression
First Claim
1. A rotary compressor assembly including a rotary compressor, an accumulator mounted on an outer wall surface of the rotary compressor, a supporting plate on which the rotary compressor is fixedly mounted, a plurality of supporting holes formed in edge portions of the supporting plate, and a plurality of vibration dampening members received in the supporting holes so as to support the supporting plate in spaced relation to an installation surface, the supporting holes having a geometric center, the rotary compressor including the accumulator having a center of gravity and said center of gravity being located on the supporting plate in a predetermined relation to the geometric center of the supporting holes such that a uniform load is exerted on each of said vibration dampening members.

Abstract
A rotary compressor assembly is provided which effectively reduces the vibration and noise occurring during the operation of the rotary compressor of the assembly. The compressor is fixedly mounted on a supporting plate. Vibration dampening members are received in corresponding supporting holes in the plate and serve to support the plate in spaced relation to an installation surface. The geometric center of the supporting holes is disposed so as to coincide with the center of gravity of the rotary compressor including an associated accumulator. As a result, the load is uniformly applied to each dampening member, and the rotary compressor is supported in a stable manner, thereby effectively reducing the vibration and noise associated with compressor operation.
