Abstract:
A rotary compressor may include a rotational shaft; first and second bearings that support the rotational shaft in a radial direction; a cylinder disposed between the first bearing and the second bearing, and forming a compression space; a rotor forming a contact point, disposed in the compression space, and having a predetermined gap with the cylinder, and coupled to the rotational shaft to compress refrigerant according to rotation; and at least one vane slidably inserted into the rotor, and contacting an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder to separate the compression space into a plurality of regions. Each of the at least one vane may include an upper pin that extends upward, and a lower pin that extends downward, a surface of the first bearing may include a first rail groove into which the upper pin may be inserted, and a first step disposed adjacent to the first rail groove, and a surface of the second bearing may include a second rail groove into which the lower pin may be inserted, and a second step disposed adjacent to the second rail groove.
