Patent ID: 7641454

Claim:
A two-stage rotary compressor comprising: a sealed cylindrical compressor housing that includes a first communication hole, a second communication hole, and a third communication hole that are separately arranged sequentially in an axial direction on an outer peripheral wall; a low-stage compressing section that is arranged inside the compressor housing, in which one end of a low-stage suction pipe is connected to a low-stage suction hole via the second communication hole and one end of a low-stage discharge pipe is connected to a low-stage discharge hole, which is disposed below the low-stage suction hole, via the first communication hole; a high-stage compressing section that is arranged above the low-stage compressing section inside the compressor housing, in which one end of a high-stage suction pipe is connected to a high-stage suction hole via the third communication hole and a high-stage muffler discharge hole communicates with inside of the compressor housing; a motor that drives the low-stage compressing section and the high-stage compressing section; a sealed cylindrical accumulator that is held on an outer side of the compressor housing; a low-pressure connecting pipe that connects a bottom communication hole of the accumulator and another end of the low-stage suction pipe; and an intermediate connecting pipe that connects another end of the low-stage discharge pipe and another end of the high-stage suction pipe, wherein the second communication hole and the third communication hole are arranged in nearly the same circumferential direction position of the compressor housing, the accumulator is held at nearly the same circumferential direction position as the second communication hole, and the first communication hole is arranged at a circumferential direction position different from the second communication hole and the third communication hole to ensure that the low-pressure connecting pipe and the intermediate connecting pipe that are two dimensionally bent in a circular arc shape do not interfere with each other.
