A compressor and a refrigeration device are provided. The compressor has a shell, a compression assembly, a motor, an oil sump and an oil return channel. The shell defines a cavity. A part of the compression assembly is connected to the shell and located in the cavity. The cavity is divided into a first cavity and a second cavity by the compression assembly. A part of the motor is arranged in the first cavity. A part of the shell located below the central axis of the motor is a first shell. The oil sump is arranged in the second cavity. The oil return channel is arranged in the compression assembly, and is provided with an oil inlet facing the first cavity.

A hermetic compressor is disclosed. The hermetic compressor comprises compressing unit and an electromotive unit. The compressing unit comprises: a cylinder block having a compression chamber; cylinder head having a discharge chamber which is controllably couplable to the compression chamber; a discharge muffler body portion and a discharge muffler cover which form a discharge muffler chamber coupled to the discharge chamber; a piston configured to compress a refrigerant in the compression chamber; and a main frame having a least one mounting leg. The electromotive unit comprises: a stator; a rotor; and a crankshaft coupled to the rotor. The electromotive unit is configured such that rotary motion of the rotor relative to the stator causes rotation of the crankshaft which drives the piston to compress the refrigerant in the compression chamber. The compressing unit is coupled to the stator of the electromotive unit and supported by the at least one mounting leg of the main frame and the discharge muffler cover.

Systems and methods for providing lubricant from a first compressor to a second compressor are provided. A control module receives a start command for a climate-control system having the first and second compressors, allows lubricant from the first compressor to flow into an inlet of the second compressor, turns the second compressor to an ON-mode, and prevents lubricant from the first compressor from flowing into the inlet of the second compressor after the second compressor has been in the ON-mode for a predetermined time period.

A linear compressor includes a housing defining a sump for collecting a lubricant and a pump for circulating the lubricant within the housing. A heat dissipation assembly includes a distribution conduit that is fluidly coupled to a hot oil collection point and defines a plurality of discharge ports for distributing the lubricant along the housing and back into the sump. A flow restricting member may be positioned under or wrapped around the distribution conduit to restrict the flow of lubricant.

A linear compressor includes a housing defining a sump for collecting a lubricant and a pump for circulating a flow of lubricant within the housing. A heat dissipation or heat exchange assembly includes a plate mounted on a lower portion of the housing to define one or more fluid passageways between the plate and the housing. Hot oil is collected from the working components of the linear compressor and is passed through the one or more fluid passageways to discharge heat through the housing before the oil is returned to the sump.

The present invention includes: an electric component; a compression component driven by the electric component; and a sealed container accommodating the electric component and the compression component. The compression component includes: a shaft part rotated by the electric component; and a bearing part slidingly contacting the shaft part. A film having hardness equal to or more than hardness of a sliding surface of the bearing part is provided on a sliding surface of the shaft part. The sliding surface of the bearing part includes a curved-surface portion having an inner diameter that continuously increases, or the sliding surface of the shaft part includes a curved-surface portion having an outer diameter that continuously decreases.

A compressor includes a terminal cover. The terminal cover includes a first terminal protector protecting a first glass-sealed terminal assembly, a first power line guide guiding first power lines connected to the first glass-sealed terminal assembly, a first power line outlet through which the first power lines extend outward, a second terminal protector protecting a second glass-sealed terminal assembly, a second power line guide guiding second power lines connected to the second glass-sealed terminal assembly, and a second power line outlet through which the second power lines extend outward. The first power line guide guides the first power lines in a guiding direction away from the second terminal protector. The second power line guide guides the second power lines such that the second power lines bypass the first terminal protector and are directed in a direction identical to the guiding direction.

A compressor includes a motor unit that includes a rotor and a stator, a compressor unit that compresses a refrigerant by rotation of the rotor, and a container that forms an internal space in which the motor unit and the compressor unit are housed, wherein in the rotor, a rotor gas passage through which the refrigerant flows from an under-motor space of the internal space arranged on a side of the motor unit that is close to the compressor unit to an above-motor space of the internal space arranged on a side of the motor unit that is distant from the compressor unit is formed, in the stator, a stator gas passage through which the refrigerant flows from the under-motor space to the above-motor space is formed, and a cross-sectional area of the stator gas passage is 6.0 times or less a cross-sectional area of the rotor gas passage.

A cylinder coupling structure of a compact air compressor includes a block, a tubular-shaped cylinder assembled to the block, a valve cover which covers the valve assembly, and at least one pressurized bolt which assembles the valve cover and the block. A piston is reciprocated inside the cylinder. A stator is assembled to the block, a rotator is located to relatively rotate as to the stator, and a crank axis is assembled to the rotator to integrally rotate with the rotator to be axially supported in the block and to be rotatable. A connecting rod, each of both ends thereof is connected to the crank axis and the piston, respectively.

A compressor is provided that is configured to suspend a compressor assembly from a string to significantly expand a speed range in which the compressor may be operated. The compressor may include a shell, and a compressor assembly disposed in the shell. The shell and the compressor assembly may be connected to each other by a string. The compressor assembly may be suspended from the shell by the string, and a tensile force may be generated at the string due to self-weight of the compressor assembly. A frame of the compressor assembly may not directly contact the shell.
