Description

  The present invention relates to a gas compressor, and more particularly to improved support of a compressor body within a housing.

  Conventionally, a gas compressor (compressor) for compressing a gas such as a refrigerant gas and circulating the gas through the air conditioning system is used in an air conditioning system (hereinafter referred to as an air conditioning system).

  Here, for example, a vane rotary type compressor is known as one of general compressors. This vane rotary type compressor has a configuration in which a compressor main body is accommodated in a housing.

  The compressor body is embedded in a substantially cylindrical rotor that rotates integrally with the rotating shaft, a cylinder having an approximately elliptical cross-sectional outline that surrounds the outer periphery of the rotor (columnar peripheral surface), and the rotor. A plate-like vane whose amount of protrusion from the outer peripheral surface of the rotor is variable so that the tip of the protruding side follows the substantially elliptical inner peripheral surface of the cylinder, and the rotor and vanes are connected to both end surface sides of the rotor And two side blocks that pivotally support portions of the rotating shaft that respectively protrude from both end faces of the rotor.

  The compressor body is fixed to the housing that covers the compressor body from the outside on the side of one side block of the two side blocks, and the radially outer peripheral portion of the other side block is annular. The compressor body is supported at a predetermined position in the housing by being supported on the inner peripheral surface of the housing through the formed O-ring of elastic material over the entire circumference (Patent Document 1). ).

  By the way, the gas compressed inside is periodically discharged from the compressor body, and the discharge of the gas causes the compressor body to receive a reaction force in the radial direction around the rotation axis.

  Here, one of the two side blocks covering the rotating body from both sides is fixed to the housing, and the compressor body is fixed to the housing, while the other side block is elastically supported by an O-ring. Therefore, in the compressor body, this reaction force causes a bending moment on the other side block side with respect to the fixed side block side, and the generation of a periodic bending moment corresponding to the compressed gas discharge cycle. The compressor body oscillates and causes the vibration of the gas compressor as a whole.

  Then, the trial which makes the outer peripheral part of the other side block contact | abut directly on the internal peripheral surface of a housing is proposed (patent document 2).

According to this proposal, no bending moment is generated at the outer periphery of the other side block, and the bending moment generated between the two side blocks is very small, so that the vibration of the gas compressor can be greatly reduced. it can.
JP 2005-273550 A (paragraph [0076], FIG. 1) JP 2001-304158 A (paragraphs [0011] to [0012], FIG. 2)

  Here, what is disclosed in Patent Document 2 is fitted to the rear case (corresponding to the housing) because the rear side plate (corresponding to the other side block) has a rear end (in the direction parallel to the rotation axis). This corresponds to the outer peripheral portion (corresponding to the outside of the main body of the compressor).

  And if the technique of patent document 2 is applied to the gas compressor fixed to the housing by the side block of one side, the rear-end outer peripheral part contacted and supported by the inner peripheral surface of the housing was fixed to the housing. Since the distance along the rotation axis is the farthest part from the side block on the side, it is the part with the largest swing amplitude, and the maximum displacement is made zero by abutting and supporting the rear end outer peripheral part.

  However, the discharge reaction force is generated in the part between the two side blocks. Even if the maximum displacement is simply suppressed to zero, the effect will appear in other parts. In some cases, vibration cannot be suppressed.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the said situation, and it aims at providing the gas compressor which can suppress generation | occurrence | production of a vibration substantially.

  In the gas compressor according to the present invention, the compressor body includes two side blocks, one of which is fixed to the housing on the side of one side block, and the source of reaction force in the radially outer periphery of the other side block. Since the portion on the side close to the rotating body is fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the housing, the transmission of the reaction force to the compressor main body is suppressed, and the occurrence of vibration is substantially suppressed.

That is, the first gas-body compressor Ru engaged with the present invention includes a cylinder surrounding the rotating body rotating integrally with the rotary shaft, a radially outwardly of said rotary body around the rotary shaft, wherein A compressor body having two side blocks that cover both ends of the rotating body and the cylinder and that support the portions of the rotating shaft that protrude from the both end faces of the rotating body, and the compressor body inside A housing in which the compressor main body is fixed on one side block side of the two side blocks, and the rotation axis of the other side block of the two side blocks is centered on the rotation axis of radial direction of the outer peripheral portion and the direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the closer to the rotating body portion, characterized by being press-fitted directly to the inner peripheral surface of the housing
The second gas compressor according to the present invention includes a rotating body that rotates integrally with a rotating shaft, a cylinder that surrounds the rotating body in the radial direction around the rotating shaft, and the rotating body. And a compressor body having two side blocks which cover both end faces of the cylinder and which respectively support portions of the rotating shaft protruding from both end faces of the rotating body, and the compressor body is accommodated therein. And a housing to which the compressor main body is fixed on one side block side of the two side blocks, and the other side block of the two side blocks is centered on the rotation axis. An annular member having a smaller coefficient of thermal expansion than the side block is press-fitted into a portion closer to the rotating body in a direction parallel to the rotation axis in the outer peripheral portion in the radial direction, The outer peripheral surface of the annular member, and wherein the press-fitted directly to the inner peripheral surface of the housing.

  Here, the compressor main body has a compression chamber in which the gas compressed in the compression chamber defined by the rotor, the cylinder, and both side blocks is compressed toward the thickness direction of the cylinder, that is, the radial direction of the rotor. It is formed so that it may be discharged from.

  The portion closer to the rotator is, for example, farther from the rotator than at least the rear end portion (thickness of the disk-shaped portion of the side block (thickness along the rotation axis direction)). It means the part excluding the side part).

  The housing may directly fix one side block of the compressor main body, so that the compressor main body may be fixed on one side block side, or the one side block may not be fixed directly. Alternatively, for example, it may be fixed on the end face side of the cylinder sandwiching the side block.

  According to the gas compressor according to the present invention configured as described above, the rotation of the outer peripheral portion in the radial direction around the rotation axis of the side block (the other side block) that is not fixed to the housing is performed. A portion close to the rotating body in a direction parallel to the axis, that is, a portion close to the rotating body that is a source of reaction force is fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the housing, and is generated by discharge of compressed gas. Transmission of reaction force to the compressor main body can be suppressed, and generation of vibration can be substantially suppressed.

  The gas compressor according to the present invention can substantially suppress the occurrence of vibration.

  FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a vane rotary compressor 100 which is an embodiment of a gas compressor according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view showing a cross section taken along line AA in FIG.

  The illustrated compressor 100 is configured, for example, as a part of an air conditioning system (hereinafter simply referred to as an air conditioning system) that performs cooling using the heat of vaporization of a cooling medium, and condensing that is another component of the air conditioning system. Along with a condenser, an expansion valve, an evaporator, and the like (all not shown), they are provided on a cooling medium circulation path.

  The compressor 100 compresses the refrigerant gas G as a gaseous cooling medium taken from the evaporator of the air conditioning system, and supplies the compressed refrigerant gas G to the condenser of the air conditioning system. The condenser liquefies the compressed refrigerant gas G and sends it to the expansion valve as a high-pressure liquid refrigerant.

  The high-pressure liquid refrigerant is reduced in pressure by the expansion valve and sent to the evaporator. The low-pressure liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from ambient air and vaporizes in the evaporator, and cools the air around the evaporator by heat exchange with the heat of vaporization.

And it consists of the rear side block 20.

  Then, each compression defined by two vanes 58 and 58 that follow each other in the rotational direction of the two side blocks 20 and 30, the rotor 50, the cylinder 40, and the rotating shaft 51 (clockwise arrow direction in FIG. 2). The chamber 48 is configured so that the refrigerant gas G sucked into the compression chambers 48 is compressed and discharged by repeatedly increasing and decreasing according to the rotation of the rotary shaft 51.

  One of the portions of the rotating shaft 51 protruding from both end faces 50a and 50b of the rotor 50 is pivotally supported by the bearing portion 32 of the front side block 30 and penetrates the front head 12 to the outside. The penetrating portion is pivotally supported by the front head 12, and the portion extending outward is connected to the armature of the electromagnetic clutch 13.

  Similarly, the other side of the protruding portion of the rotating shaft 51 is pivotally supported by the bearing portion 22 of the rear side block 20, whereby the rotating shaft 51 is rotatable with respect to the rear side block 20 and the front side block 30. It is said that.

  Further, a lip seal 15 is disposed on a portion of the rotating shaft 51 outside the bearing portion 32 of the front side block 30 and inside the front head 12, and the refrigerating machine oil R is supplied to the rotating shaft 51. Leakage from the front head 12 through the gap between the front head 12 and the front head 12.

  As shown in FIG. 3, which is an enlarged view of part B of FIG. 1, the rear side block 20 is located on the side near the rotor 50 in the direction parallel to the rotation shaft 51 in the radial outer periphery centered on the rotation shaft 51. The portion 20a is fitted to the inner peripheral surface 11b of the case 11 over the entire circumference. This fitting is, for example, by press fitting, and the outer peripheral surface 20b of the portion 20a on the side close to the rotor 50 is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface 11b of the case.

  Then, the inner side of the case 11 of the portion 20a near the rotor 5 in the outer peripheral portion of the rear side block 20 is supported by the front head 12 to support the rotating shaft 51, the front side block 30 is fastened to the front head 12 by bolts. The compressor main body is held at a predetermined position in the housing 10 by abutting and supporting the peripheral surface 11b.

  Further, in the state where the compressor main body is accommodated in the case 11, the rear side block 20 and the case 11 form a high-pressure atmosphere discharge chamber 21 from which high-pressure refrigerant gas G is discharged from the compressor main body. The front side block 30 and the front head 12 form a low-pressure atmosphere suction chamber 34 for supplying a low-pressure refrigerant gas G to the compressor body, the discharge chamber 21 communicates with the discharge port 11a, and the suction chamber 34 sucks. It communicates with the port 12a.

  A cyclone block 60 for separating the refrigerating machine oil R from the refrigerant gas G is attached to the rear side block 20. The cyclone block 60 is disposed in the discharge chamber 21, and the rear side block 20, the cyclone block 60, A short columnar axial back pressure space 66 is formed between them.

  At the lower part of the discharge chamber 21, the sliding portion of the compressor 100 is lubricated, cooled, and cleaned, and the vane 58 protrudes toward the inner peripheral surface 49a of the cylinder 40, and the tip thereof extends to the inner peripheral surface 49a. A refrigerating machine oil R for applying a back pressure to the vane 58 is stored so as to urge the contacted state.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the rotor 50 is formed with five slit-like vane grooves 56 radially and at equal angular intervals around the rotation center of the rotor 50. Each vane 58 is inserted into a cylinder by centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the rotor 50 and hydraulic pressure of the refrigerating machine oil R applied to the back pressure chamber 59 defined by the bottom surface of the vane groove 56 and the vane 58. 40 is protruded toward the inner peripheral surface 49a of the cylinder 40, and the protruding tip of the vane 58 is urged to abut on the inner peripheral surface 49a of the cylinder 40. Follow the surface 49a.

  As a result, each compression chamber 48 defined by the cylinder 40, the rotor 50, the two vanes 58 and 58 that are arranged in the rotational direction of the rotating shaft 51, the front side block 30, and the rear side block 20 is The volume change is repeated according to the rotation of the rotor 50.

  Further, the front side block 30 is provided with a front suction port 31 that allows the suction chamber 34 and the compression chamber 48 to communicate with each other. The refrigerant gas G introduced into the suction chamber 34 from the suction port 12a is transferred to the front side block 30. The air is sucked into the compression chamber 48 through the suction port 31.

  On the other hand, a recess is formed in a part of the outer periphery of the cylinder 40, and this recess forms a discharge chamber 45 surrounded by the inner end surfaces of the side blocks 20 and 30 and the inner peripheral surface of the case 11. .

  Then, the refrigerant gas G in the compression chamber 48 is transferred to the outside of the compression chamber 48 in a portion facing the compression chamber 48 corresponding to the compression stroke of the refrigerant gas G in the thinned cylinder 40 in which the discharge chamber 45 is formed. That is, a discharge port 42 that discharges to the discharge chamber 45 is provided, and a reed valve 43 that opens and closes the discharge port 42 according to the internal pressure of the compression chamber 48 is disposed.

  The reed valve 43 has a leaf spring shape, and the pressure acting from the refrigerant gas G in the compression chamber 48 through the discharge port 42 (specifically, this pressure and the pressure inside the discharge chamber 45 (and the reed valve 43 is connected to 42 is elastically deformed so as to bend toward the discharge chamber 45 in accordance with the difference between the initial load pressure corresponding to the urging force and the pressure obtained by adding the initial load pressure). The discharged discharge port 42 is opened.

  In addition, in order to prevent the reed valve 43 from being damaged due to excessive bending or from being permanently deformed due to sustained large bending, a valve support 44 that regulates the deformation amount of the reed valve 43 is provided on the reed valve 43. It is overlapped and fixed to the cylinder 40 together.

  The high-pressure refrigerant gas G discharged from the compression chamber 48 to the discharge chamber 45 through the discharge port 42 and the reed valve 43 is connected to the communication hole 20 a formed in the rear side block 20 and the cyclone fixed to the rear side block 20. The oil is discharged into the discharge chamber 21 through the oil separator 60a of the block 60.

  On the other hand, the refrigerating machine oil R separated from the refrigerant gas G by the cyclone block 60 and the oil separator 60a is dropped onto the bottom of the discharge chamber 21 and is stored at the bottom as described above.

  Further, the compressor 100 has a purpose of lubrication between the rotary shaft 51 and the bearing portions 22 and 32, lubrication between each end face of the rotor 50 and the inner end face of each side block 20 and 30, and the vane 58. Discharge chamber for the purpose of supplying hydraulic pressure (back pressure) to the back pressure space (back pressure chamber 59, salai groove 25 and shaft back pressure space 66, which will be described later) so as to urge the cylinder 40 toward the inner peripheral surface 49a. 21 is provided with a structure that guides the refrigerating machine oil R stored in the lower portion of 21 to each part.

  That is, the oil passage 23 reaching the bearing portion 22 is formed in the rear side block 20, and the oil passage 23 of the bearing portion 22 is formed on the inner end surface 26 (surface facing the end surface 50 a of the rotor 50) of the rear side block 20. A Sarai groove 25 (intermediate pressure supply groove) which is a recess communicating with the back pressure chamber 59 of the rotor 50 through the minute gap (throttle) between the bearing portion 22 and the rotating shaft 51 is formed from the opening. .

  Further, the oil passage 23 extending to the bearing portion 22 is a space formed between the rear side block 20 and the cyclone block 60 via a minute gap (throttle) between the bearing portion 22 and the rotating shaft 51. The shaft back pressure space 66 communicates with the salai groove 25 through the back pressure communication passage 28 without pressure loss.

  As a result, the back pressure chamber 59, the Sarai groove 25, the back pressure communication path 28, and the shaft back pressure space 66 have substantially the same pressure Pv, and constitute the back pressure space of the vane 58.

  Specifically, the pressure Pv acting on the back pressure space is higher than the pressure Ps of the suction chamber 34 in the low-pressure atmosphere, and is a minute gap between the bearing 22 and the peripheral surface portion of the rotating shaft 51. The intermediate pressure (Ps <Pv <Pd) is lower than the pressure Pd of the discharge chamber 21 in the high-pressure atmosphere by the amount that has passed through the (throttle).

  The Sarai groove 25 is a concave portion having a substantially fan-shaped outline (shown by a broken line in FIG. 2) over a predetermined angular range around the center of the bearing portion 22, and passes through the above-described minute gap to the intermediate pressure Pv. The lowered refrigerator oil R is stored.

  Then, as the rotor 50 rotates, the back pressure of the vane groove 56 is only while the back pressure chamber 59 of the vane groove 56 exposed to the end surface 50 a of the rotor 50 passes through the Sarai groove 25 of the rear side block 20. The space 59 and the Sarai groove 25 communicate with each other, the refrigerating machine oil R having the intermediate pressure Pv in the Saray groove 25 is supplied to the back pressure space 59 in the vane groove 56, and the vane 58 has the intermediate pressure Pv of the supplied refrigerating machine oil R. In response, it protrudes toward the inner peripheral surface 49 a of the cylinder 40.

  Further, a through hole 46 connected to the oil passage 23 of the rear side block 20 is provided on the bottom side of the cylinder 40, and an opening on the front side block 30 side of the through hole 46 and the bearing portion 32 are provided in the front side block 30. The refrigerating machine oil R passes through a minute gap between the bearing portion 32 and the rotary shaft 51 and is lowered to the intermediate pressure Pv, and is formed on the inner end face 36 of the front side block 30. It is guided to the Sarai groove 35, which is a concave portion.

  The salai groove 35 of the front side block 30 also has a back pressure chamber 59 of the vane groove 56 exposed to the end surface 50b of the rotor 50 as the rotor 50 rotates, like the saray groove 25 of the rear side block 20. Only while passing through the Sarai groove 35 of the side block 30, it communicates with the back pressure chamber 59 of the rotor 50.

  On the other hand, on the end surface 36 of the front side block 30, the tip of the protruding side of the vane 58 has a cylinder 40 with respect to the vane 58 when passing through the short diameter position of the substantially elliptical inner peripheral surface 49 a of the cylinder 40. A high-pressure hole 37 for supplying an urging force Pd higher than the pressure in the compression chamber 48 in the suction stroke is formed to protrude toward the inner peripheral surface 49a.

  Specifically, as the rotor 50 rotates, the back pressure chamber 59 of the vane groove 56 exposed to the end surface 50a of the rotor 50 passes through the high pressure hole 37 of the front side block 30 (the vane 58 The back pressure space 59 of the vane groove 56 and the high pressure hole 37 communicate with each other only while the tip on the protruding side passes through the minor axis position of the substantially elliptical inner peripheral surface 49a of the cylinder 40). The back pressure space 59 is supplied with the high pressure Pd refrigerating machine oil R of the high pressure hole 37, and the vane 58 corresponding to the vane groove 56 receives the supplied high pressure Pd of the refrigerating machine oil R and receives the inner peripheral surface 49a of the cylinder 40. Protrusively toward.

  Since the high-pressure hole 37 communicates with the oil passage 33 without passing through a minute gap (throttle) between the bearing portion 32 and the peripheral surface portion of the rotating shaft 51, the intermediate pressure supplied to the salai groove 35. Refrigerating machine oil R having a pressure Pd higher than Pv can be supplied to the back pressure chamber 59 of the vane groove 58 of the rotor 50, and the thrust output of the vane 58 toward the inner peripheral surface 49a of the cylinder 40 can be increased. .

  Here, the high-pressure hole 37 and the Sarai groove 35 are disposed so as not to communicate with each other via the back pressure chamber 59 of the vane groove 58. That is, the high-pressure hole 37 is in a position where it communicates with the back pressure space 59 of the vane groove 56 only while the tip of the vane 58 on the protruding side passes through the minor diameter position of the substantially elliptical inner peripheral surface 49a of the cylinder 40. During the period in which the high pressure hole 37 and the back pressure space 59 of the vane groove 56 communicate with each other, the back pressure space 59 of the vane groove 56 does not communicate with the Sarai groove 35 and the rotor 50 rotates. The state where the tip of the vane 58 on the protruding side passes through the short diameter position of the substantially elliptical inner peripheral surface 49a of the cylinder 40 and the back pressure space 59 of the vane groove 56 is not in communication with the high pressure hole 37. Thus, the back pressure space 59 of the vane groove 56 communicates with the Sarai groove 35.

  As a result, the pressure (high pressure Pd) of the refrigerating machine oil R supplied to the high-pressure hole 37 is reduced by the merging of the refrigerating machine oil R having the intermediate pressure Pv supplied to the saray groove 35, and on the contrary, The pressure (intermediate pressure Pv) of the refrigerating machine oil R supplied to the salai groove 35 is prevented from being increased by the merging of the refrigerating machine oil R of the high pressure Pd supplied to the high pressure hole 37.

  When the back pressure chamber 59 of the vane groove 58 of the rotor 50 communicates with the refrigerating machine oil R supplied to the Sarai grooves 25, 35 and the high pressure hole 37, the output of the vane 58 to the back pressure chamber 59 ( Intermediate pressure Pv or high pressure Pd) is applied, but between the end faces 50a, 50b of the rotor 50 and the end faces 26, 36 of the side blocks 20, 30 including the angular range where the back pressure chamber 59 does not communicate. It penetrates into the minute gaps, respectively, between these end surfaces 50a, 26, between the end surfaces 50b, 36, between the end surfaces 26, 36 of the side blocks 20, 30 and the side surfaces of the vanes 58, the tip of the vane 58, and the cylinder 40. The sliding frictional force in the sliding part such as between the inner peripheral surface 49a and the like is reduced, the generated frictional heat is cooled, and the wear powder generated by the friction is washed away.

  The refrigerating machine oil R that has permeated the sliding portions is mixed with the refrigerant gas G in the compression chamber 48, discharged from the compression chamber 48 together with the refrigerant gas G, and discharged to the discharge chamber 21 through the cyclone block 60. .

  While the refrigerant gas G passes through the cyclone block 60, a part of the refrigerating machine oil R mixed in the refrigerant gas G is separated from the refrigerant gas G, and the refrigerant gas G is discharged into the discharge chamber 21, and the air conditioning system. On the other hand, the separated refrigerating machine oil R is dropped and stored in the lower part of the discharge chamber 21, and circulates mainly in the compressor 100.

  According to the compressor 100 of the present embodiment configured as described above, the rear side block on the side not fixed to the housing 10 is parallel to the rotating shaft 51 in the outer peripheral portion in the radial direction around the rotating shaft 51. The portion 20a on the side close to the rotor 50 in the direction, that is, the portion 20a on the side close to the rotor 50, which is a reaction force generation source, is fitted into the inner peripheral surface 11b of the housing 10 and is compressed from the compression chamber 48. The transmission of reaction force to the compressor main body generated by the discharge of the refrigerant gas G can be suppressed, and the occurrence of vibration can be substantially suppressed.

  Further, in the compressor 100 in which the side blocks 20 and 30 are made of an aluminum material in order to reduce the weight, and the rotary shaft 51 is made of a steel material with emphasis on strength, the outer peripheral portion of the rear side block 20 is a conventional gas compressor. As in the case of the elastic support by the O-ring, the thermal expansion coefficient of the aluminum material is about twice that of the steel material, so that the increase in the temperature of the compressor body causes the shaft diameter of the rotary shaft 51 to increase. The amount of increase in the hole diameter of the bearing portion 22 of the rear side block 20 is larger, and the play between the hole of the bearing portion 22 and the rotating shaft 51 becomes larger. May occur.

  However, in the compressor 100 according to the embodiment to which the present invention is applied, since the outer peripheral surface 20b of the rear side block 20 is fitted (press-fitted) into the inner peripheral surface 11b of the case 11, the rear side block 20 tends to expand due to heat. However, expansion of the outer peripheral portion is prevented by the inner peripheral surface 11b of the case 11, and an increase in the hole diameter of the bearing portion 22 is also suppressed.

  Therefore, an increase in play between the rotating shaft 51 and the bearing portion 22 of the rear side block 20 can be suppressed, and the above-described swinging of the rotating shaft 51 and the rotor 50 can be suppressed or prevented.

  The case 11 is preferably made of a material whose thermal expansion coefficient is smaller than that of the rear side block 20.

  When the case 11 is formed of a material having a thermal expansion coefficient larger than that of the rear side block 20, the radial direction of the case 11 is larger than the increase amount of the outer peripheral portion 20a of the rear side block 20 in the radial direction. The increase amount becomes larger, and the function of suppressing the increase in the radius of the outer peripheral portion of the rear side block 20 by the inner peripheral surface 11b of the case 11 does not work.

  However, if the case 11 is formed of a material having a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than the thermal expansion coefficient of the rear side block 20, the radial direction of the case 11 is larger than the increase amount in the radial direction of the outer peripheral portion of the rear side block 20. Therefore, the function of suppressing the increase in the radius of the outer peripheral portion of the rear side block 20 by the inner peripheral surface 11b of the case 11 can be effectively exhibited.

  In the compressor 100 according to the above-described embodiment, the outer peripheral surface 20b of the rear side block 20 itself is directly fitted to the inner peripheral surface 11b of the case 11, but is made of a rigid material that is not an elastic member such as a conventional O-ring. If present, it may be interposed between the outer peripheral surface 20 b of the rear side block 20 and the inner peripheral surface 11 b of the case 11.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the side block 20 is arranged on a portion 20 c on the side near the rotor 50 in the direction parallel to the rotation shaft 51 in the radial outer periphery of the rear side block 20 around the rotation shaft 51. Alternatively, a sleeve 20 d (annular member) having a smaller thermal expansion coefficient may be press-fitted, and the outer peripheral surface 20 e of the sleeve 20 d may be fitted to the inner peripheral surface 11 b of the case 11.

  Even with the compressor formed in this way, the same effect as the compressor 100 of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

  That is, since the outer peripheral portion of the rear side block 20 is fitted to the inner peripheral surface 11b of the case 11 via the sleeve 20d, even if the rear side block 20 is expanded by heat, the inner periphery of the case 11 via the sleeve 20d. Expansion by the surface 11b is prevented, and an increase in the hole diameter of the bearing portion 22 is also suppressed.

  Therefore, an increase in play between the rotating shaft 51 and the bearing portion 22 of the rear side block 20 can be suppressed, and the above-described swinging of the rotating shaft 51 and the rotor 50 can be suppressed or prevented.

  In addition, the sleeve 20d is made of a material having a smaller thermal expansion coefficient than the side block 20, so that the sleeve 20d exhibits the function of suppressing the increase in the radius of the outer peripheral portion of the rear side block 20 by the inner peripheral surface 11b of the case 11. be able to.

It is a longitudinal section showing the vane rotary type compressor which is the first embodiment of the gas compressor concerning the present invention. It is sectional drawing by the surface along the AA line in FIG. It is an enlarged view which shows the detail of the B section of the compressor shown in FIG. It is a detailed enlarged view equivalent to FIG. 3 about a modification.
