A radius r1 of the rounded shape of the first connection portion 462F is greater than a radius r2 of the rounded shape of the second connection portion 462G.

Compressor or vacuum pump provided with a transmission

A compressor provided with a compressor element with a driven shaft, a motor with a drive shaft to drive the compressor element, and a transmission between the drive shaft and the driven shaft. The transmission includes a housing and at least a driven gearwheel that is mounted on the driven shaft and a drive gearwheel that is mounted on a drive shaft. The housing includes two separated chambers, a first chamber that is connected to the driven shaft and a second chamber which is separate from the first chamber. The first chamber is connected via a channel with the second chamber, whereby around the drive gearwheel or driven gearwheel, the second chamber is formed. The form of the second chamber is such that when the gearwheel in question rotates, a gas flow is created around this gearwheel which causes a negative pressure in the channel by the venturi effect.

COMPRESSOR

A compressor includes a casing having a cylindrical barrel, a compression mechanism, and an electric motor. The electric motor has a tubular stator, and a rotor disposed inside the stator. The stator has a back yoke forming an outer peripheral portion of the stator, a plurality of teeth extending radially inward, and slots. A fluid passage extends between an outer peripheral surface of the stator and an inner peripheral surface of the barrel. The fluid passage has a plurality of wide portions arranged in a circumferential direction of the stator, and a narrow portion provided between adjacent ones of the wide portions. The narrow portion has a smaller radial width than each of the wide portions. Each wide portion is provided in the outer peripheral surface of the stator and between a core cut having a recessed groove shape between the slots and the inner peripheral surface of the barrel.

20230113193 · 2023-04-13 ·

A compressor module has a compressor housing with a high-pressure chamber and an outlet for a compressed refrigerant, and a separation device, accommodated in the compressor housing, for separating out a lubricant mixed with the refrigerant. The separation device has a hollow-cylindrical separation portion and a funnel-shaped outlet portion for the refrigerant, which outlet portion protrudes into the hollow-cylindrical separation portion, forming an annular space. The separation device, by use of a portion end of the separation portion, sits inside a receptacle in the compressor housing, which receptacle is connected to a lubricant reservoir. The separation device, by means of the outlet portion, at least partially sits inside the outlet. The separation device is securely held in the compressor housing by an interlocking connection such that it is prevented from twisting and/or axial displacement.
