At least one of slide members included in the compression component is made of an iron-based material. An oxide coating film (150) is provided on a slide surface of the iron-based material, the oxide coating film including a first portion (151), a second portion (152), and/or a third portion (153). The first portion (151) contains at least fine crystals (155). The second portion (152) contains columnar grains (156). The third portion (153) contains layered grains (157).

The present invention belongs to the technological field of cooling compressors and, particularly, constructive details of lubricating oil pumps of cooling compressors. Problem to be solved: The current state of the art does not describe any solution of oil pump and construction of rotating shaft capable of achieving the correct lubricating of the moving components that include the compression functional unit of cooling compressor, which operating speed can vary between 700 and 4500 rpm. Solution of the problem: It is disclosed is a variable speed cooling compressor which tubular extension of the oil pump, the inner axial channel of the rotating shaft, the axial channel extension of the rotating shaft and the inner cam channel segment of the rotating axis are all fluidly connected to each other in order to conform a single integrated channel.

A linear compressor includes a housing defining a sump for collecting a lubricant and a suction inlet for receiving a flow of refrigerant into the housing. A pump circulates the lubricant within the housing, e.g., for lubricating a piston that is movable along the axial direction to compress the flow of refrigerant. A flex mount is coupled to the piston and defines a channel inlet for receiving the flow of refrigerant. A splash shield is positioned within the housing between the channel inlet and a pump inlet along the vertical direction, e.g., to prevent oil entrainment into the flow of refrigerant.

A hermetic compressor includes an airtight case a lower portion of which oil is stored in; a frame received in the airtight case; a compression mechanism disposed in the frame and to compress a refrigerant; a motor mechanism including a stator fixed to the frame and a rotor to rotate inside the stator; a rotation shaft coupled to the rotor and provided with a cavity at a lower portion of the rotation shaft, wherein the rotation shaft rotates together with the rotor and operates the compression mechanism; a stationary shaft inserted into the cavity of the rotation shaft, fixed to the airtight case, and provided with a helical groove formed on an outer circumferential surface; and an oil raising member fixed to the cavity of the rotation shaft and configured to surround the stationary shaft. The oil raising member raises the oil stored in the airtight case.

A rotor core is configured by stacking a plurality of core plates each including: an inner peripheral side core portion; an outer peripheral side core portion; a magnet insertion hole; a radial connection portion to be connected to the inner peripheral side core portion; a circumferential connection portion to be connected between the outer peripheral side core portion and the radial connection portion, including a minimum width portion having a width smaller than widths at both ends, and having a width smoothly decreasing from both ends toward the minimum width portion; and a thin portion including a uniform thickness portion which is provided in the circumferential connection portion and which has a uniform thickness and a non-uniform thickness portion which is adjacent to the uniform thickness portion and which has an increasing thickness, the thin portion having the minimum width portion within the uniform thickness portion.

A compressor includes: a shell forming an outer portion thereof and having lower part in which an oil pan is formed to store oil; a motor provided in the shell; a compression unit provided in the shell to compress a working gas when being driven by the motor; a frame fixed to the shell and supporting the compression unit; a shaft supported by the frame, connecting the motor and the compression unit, provided to transmit a turning force of the motor to the compression unit, and including an oil passage; and an oil pump provided at lower part of the shaft to draw oil from the pan and supply the oil into the oil passage. The pump includes a bypass valve that is opened, when a pressure of oil flowing in the oil passage is higher than a threshold pressure, to return part of the oil to the pan.

A refrigerant compressor includes: an electric component; and a compression component driven by the electric component to compress a refrigerant. At least one sliding member constituting the compression component is made of a base material (185) that is an iron-based material. An abrasion resistance film (180) including a surface layer constituted by at least fine crystals is formed on a sliding surface of the sliding member. The surface layer (181) includes an A portion in which a component contained most is diiron trioxide (Fe.sub.2O.sub.3). The A portion exists within a range of at least 0.3 m or less from an outermost surface of the sliding surface. The abrasion resistance film (180) may include at least one intermediate layer (182 to 184) located between the surface layer (181) and the base material (185). With this, self-abrasion resistance of the sliding member can be improved, so that the refrigerant compressor having excellent reliability and efficiency can be obtained.

A compressor includes a compression mechanism that compresses refrigerant; a main shaft that transmits a rotational driving force to the compression mechanism; a balance weight provided below the compression mechanism and integrated with the main shaft, the balance weight having a cylindrical outer peripheral surface centered at the main shaft; and an oil sump portion provided below the balance weight and stores lubricating oil to be supplied to the compression mechanism. The balance weight has an annular oil-receiving recessed portion in an upper surface, the oil-receiving recessed portion being centered at the main shaft and integrated with the balance weight. The balance weight has a hollow portion in a lower surface, the hollow portion extending in part of the lower surface in a peripheral direction around the main shaft and being integrated with the balance weight. The oil-receiving recessed portion communicates with at least part of the hollow portion.

A compressor includes a housing defining a sump for collecting lubricant, a pump for circulating the lubricant within the housing, the pump comprising a lubricant intake tube defining a pump inlet positioned within the sump, and a noise dissipation media positioned within the sump on a surface of the lubricant and above the pump inlet, wherein a media void is defined around the lubricant intake tube.

Disclosed herein is a compressor having an improved oil supply structure. The compressor includes: a case; a stator, accommodated in the case, and including a stator core; a rotor rotatably disposed in an inside of the stator core; a bracket coupled to a lower portion of the stator core; a rotation shaft configured to rotate together with the rotor, and having a cavity for raising oil stored in the case; a pickup shaft accommodated in the cavity; and a support member connected to the pickup shaft to support the pickup shaft, and coupled to the bracket.
