1. A rotary compressor comprising: a compressor housing that is cylindrical and in which a refrigerant discharge unit is provided in an upper part and a refrigerant suction unit is provided in a lower part, the compressor housing being sealed; a compression unit that is arranged in the compressor housing, that compresses a refrigerant, which is sucked from the suction unit, and that discharges the refrigerant from the discharge unit; and a motor that is arranged in the compressor housing and that drives the compression unit,
the compression unit including an upper cylinder, which is annular, and a lower cylinder, which is annular; an upper end plate that closes an upper side of the upper cylinder; a lower end plate that closes a lower side of the lower cylinder; an intermediate partition plate that is arranged between the upper cylinder and the lower cylinder and that closes a lower side of the upper cylinder and an upper side of the lower cylinder; a rotary shaft that is supported by a main bearing, provided in the upper end plate, and a sub bearing, provided in the lower end plate, and that is rotated by the motor; an upper eccentricity unit and a lower eccentricity unit that are provided in the rotary shaft with a phase difference; an upper piston that is provided in the upper eccentricity unit, that revolves along an inner circumferential surface of the upper cylinder, and that forms an upper cylinder chamber in the upper cylinder; a lower piston that is provided in the lower eccentricity unit, that revolves along an inner circumferential surface of the lower cylinder, and that forms a lower cylinder chamber in the lower cylinder; an upper vane that protrudes from an upper vane groove, provided in the upper cylinder, into the upper cylinder chamber, that makes contact with the upper piston, and that divides the upper cylinder chamber into an upper suction chamber and an upper compression chamber; a lower vane that protrudes from a lower vane groove, provided in the lower cylinder, into the lower cylinder chamber, that makes contact with the lower piston, and that divides the lower cylinder chamber into a lower suction chamber and a lower compression chamber; an upper end plate cover that covers the upper end plate, that forms an upper end plate cover chamber between the upper end plate cover and the upper end plate, and that has an upper end cover discharge hole connecting the upper end plate cover chamber and inside of the compressor housing; a lower end plate cover that covers the lower end plate and that forms a lower end plate cover chamber between the lower end plate cover and the lower end plate; an upper discharge hole that is provided in the upper end plate and that connects the upper compression chamber and the upper end plate cover chamber; a lower discharge hole that is provided in the lower end plate and that connects the lower compression chamber and the lower end plate cover chamber; a refrigerant path hole that penetrates the lower end plate, the lower cylinder, the intermediate partition plate, the upper end plate, and the upper cylinder and that connects the lower end plate cover chamber and the upper end plate cover chamber; a plurality of bolt holes that penetrate the lower end plate cover and that are provided on a same circumference in an outer edge part of the lower end plate cover; and a plurality of through bolts that are inserted into the bolt holes from a side of the lower end plate cover and that fastens the lower end plate cover to the lower cylinder,
wherein the lower end plate includes a lower discharge valve in a form of a reed valve whose proximal end portion is fixed to the lower end plate and whose proximal end portion opens and closes the lower discharge hole; a lower discharge valve housing concave portion that is extended in a form of a groove from the lower discharge hole and in which the lower discharge valve is housed; and a lower discharge chamber concave portion that is formed such that the lower discharge chamber concave portion overlaps the discharge valve housing concave portion on a side of the lower discharge hole and that connects to the refrigerant path hole,
the lower end plate cover is formed into a plate shape and is provided with a bulging portion having a portion opposed to the lower discharge hole,
the lower end plate cover chamber is formed of the lower discharge valve housing concave portion, the lower discharge chamber concave portion, and the bulging portion,
in a circumferential direction of the rotary shaft, the bolt holes includes a first bolt hole, which is arranged between the distal end portion and the proximal end portion of the lower discharge valve, a second bolt hole, which is arranged in a position adjacent to the first bolt hole on a side close to the lower vane groove with respect to the first bolt hole, and a third bolt hole, which is arranged in a position adjacent to the first bolt hole on a side away from the lower vane groove with respect to the first bolt hole, and
when the bulging portion of the lower end plate cover is divided into a first bulging portion, which is positioned on a side of the second bolt hole, and a second bulging portion, which is positioned on a side of the third bolt hole, on a plane orthogonal to the axial direction of the rotary shaft, using a first straight line connecting a center of the rotary shaft and a center of the first bolt hole, the first bulging portion is larger than the second bulging portion.
