Patent ID: 7399170

Claim:
A hermetic rotary compressor comprising: a hermetic case for retaining lubricating oil in an inner bottom portion thereof; an electric motor section arranged within the hermetic case; and a compressing mechanism section of a rotary type having: a first cylinder including a first eccentric roller connected to the electric motor section, and a first cylinder room for eccentrically rotatably storing the first eccentric roller, the first cylinder being arranged within the hermetic case; a first vane for dividing the first cylinder room into two portions along the rotating direction of the first eccentric roller, the first vane being arranged within the first cylinder and pressed and biased so as to make a tip edge thereof abut on a circumferential face of the first eccentric roller; a first vane room for storing a side end portion of the first vane, the first vane room being arranged on a side opposite the first cylinder room with respect to the first vane; a spring member for pressing and biasing the first vane, the spring member being arranged in the first vane room; a second cylinder including a second eccentric roller coaxially connected to the electric motor section with respect to the first eccentric roller, and a second cylinder room for eccentrically rotatably storing the second eccentric roller, the second cylinder being arranged in a position separated from a position of the first cylinder within the hermetic case; a second vane for dividing the second cylinder room into two portions along the rotating direction of the second eccentric roller, the second vane being arranged within the second cylinder and pressed and biased so as to make a tip edge of the second vane abut on a circumferential face of the second eccentric roller; and a second vane room for storing a side end portion of the second vane, the second vane room being arranged on a side opposite the second cylinder room with respect to the second vane; wherein cooling medium gas compressed in the compressing mechanism section is discharged into the hermetic case and the interior of the hermetic case becomes high pressure; the second vane is pressed and biased when the cooling medium gas of low pressure is introduced to the second vane room, and the second vane is separated and held when the cooling medium gas of discharging pressure is introduced to the second vane room; and a discharge pressure introducing pipe as an introducing port of the high pressure cooling medium gas from the hermetic case to the second vane room is arranged below an oil face of the lubricating oil during an operating time.
