A rotary compressor has a combined vane-roller structure that may ensure improved productivity and reliability through control of mechanical properties. The rotary compressor includes a coupling groove which is disposed at one side of an outer circumferential surface of the roller, which has a circular arc shape from an outer diameter of the roller towards an inner diameter of the roller, and which is configured to couple a vane and the roller, and includes a ferrosoferric oxide (Fe.sub.3O.sub.4) film on a surface of the coupling groove. A manufacturing method of the rotary compressor is also described.

A rotary compressor is provided for which a vane slot is formed in each cylinder, a suction port is disposed at one side of the vane slot in a circumferential direction with a partition wall interposed therebetween, and at least one elastic portion is formed in a penetrated or recessed manner at at least one circumferential side surface of the partition wall or between circumferential side surfaces. Accordingly, an elastic strain of the partition wall may increase to reduce friction loss between the vane slot and a vane, a sealing distance may be secured between axial side surfaces of the partition wall to prevent refrigerant leakage between the vane slot and the suction port, an amount of oil or refrigerant stored between the vane and the vane slot may be increased by virtue of the at least one elastic portion formed on an inner surface of the vane slot defining the partition wall, thereby improving lubricity.

According to one embodiment, a compressor includes cylinders, a rotating shaft, bearings, and discharge valve mechanisms. Each of the discharge valve mechanisms includes a discharge valve and a valve presser. Regarding the valve pressers, each of the valve pressers includes a main body part lengthwise along the longitudinal direction of the discharge valve, and at least one of the valve pressers includes a fixed part extending in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the discharge valve relatively to the main body part and fixed to the bearing.

A rotary compressor includes a cylinder having a vane slot and a compression chamber, a shaft having an eccentric portion and configured to perpendicularly pass through a center of the compression chamber, a roller having a coupling groove and configured to orbit in the compression chamber by rotation of the shaft, and a vane having a vane hinge coupled to the coupling groove and a vane body being inserted into the vane slot and configured to divide the compression chamber into a discharge space and a suction space. A shape of the discharge-sided groove close to the discharge space and a shape of the suction-sided groove close to the suction space are asymmetrically formed between the vane hinge and the vane body with respect to the a central axis of the vane.

A rotary compressor is disclosed. The rotary compressor includes a sidewall path formed in an inner wall of a cylinder facing a vane slot and configured to form a space facing a side surface of a vane, and the vane is provided with a communication part configured to selectively communicate between the outside of the vane slot and the sidewall path according to a position of the vane.

A rotary compressor is provided that may include a roller slidingly coupled to an eccentric portion of a rotational shaft so as to be moved along an inner circumferential surface of a cylinder by the rotational shaft, and a vane slidingly coupled to the cylinder so as to divide the compression space into a plurality of compression chambers. An oil supply groove may be formed on an outer circumferential surface of the eccentric portion or an inner circumferential surface of the roller that faces the outer circumferential surface of the eccentric portion, and a depth of the oil supply groove may decrease as a distance in a circumferential direction from the second oil supply hole increases. Accordingly, an amount of oil supplied between the eccentric portion and the roller may be increased to thereby reduce friction loss.

Durability of a vacuum pump is prevented from degrading by suppressing abrasion of a rotor and a side plate. The vacuum pump has a hollow cylinder chamber S having an opening at an end portion of a casing body, a rotor which is rotationally driven in the cylinder chamber S, a side plate for blocking the opening of the cylinder chamber S, and a pump cover which is disposed at the opposite side to the rotor so as to sandwich the side plate between the pump cover and the rotor, and the side plate is provided with an intercommunication port which confronts a shaft hole of the rotor and intercommunicates with a space between the side plate and the pump cover.
