Abstract:
A lower end plate includes: bolt holes through which bolts penetrate; a lower discharge valve; a lower discharge-valve accommodating recessed portion into which the lower discharge valve is accommodated; and a lower discharge-chamber recessed portion. A lower end plate cover is provided with a bulging portion. A lower end-plate cover chamber is formed by the lower discharge-valve accommodating recessed portion, the lower discharge-chamber recessed portion, and the bulging portion. Refrigerant passage holes include main refrigerant passage holes provided on the lower discharge-chamber recessed portion, and sub-refrigerant passage holes provided between the bolt hole and the lower discharge-valve accommodating recessed portion away from the lower discharge-valve accommodating recessed portion. The bulging portion is, in a cross section orthogonal to a rotating shaft, formed so as to overlap with at least a part of each of the main refrigerant passage holes and the sub-refrigerant passage holes.
