A compressor according to embodiments of the present disclosure comprises a discharge valve which is provided so as to be coupled to a fixed scroll and open/close a discharge hole. The discharge valve includes a coupling portion which is coupled to one surface of the fixed scroll, the surface facing a muffler, and a head portion extending from the coupling portion and opening/closing the discharge hole. The head portion may be provided with a communicating hole for allowing the discharge hole and the muffler to be in communication with each other. Accordingly, a backflow of a compressed refrigerant is prevented during the operation of the compressor, and thus over-compression of the refrigerant can be prevented. Also, when the compressor stops operating, only a certain amount of the discharged refrigerant is allowed to flow backward to prevent a reverse rotation of an orbiting scroll and a decrease in the oil level of the oil stored in a case.

In a scroll compressor, a discharge chamber is provided in an inner space of a back pressure chamber inner wall, a discharge port is provided inside the discharge chamber, a bypass hole is provided around the discharge port, and a communicating recess portion allowing the discharge chamber to communicate with the bypass hole is provided on an inner circumferential surface of the back pressure chamber inner wall forming the discharge chamber. Through this, the bypass hole may be easily configured in addition to the discharge port, thereby increasing an operation range of the compressor and suppressing overcompression.

A scroll compressor is disclosed, which comprises an auxiliary discharge path capable of sufficiently making sure of a discharge area at an initial discharge stage. The compressor comprises a fixed scroll including a fixed end plate portion and a fixed wrap, and an orbiting scroll including an orbiting end plate portion and an orbiting wrap, wherein a discharge hole is formed in the fixed end plate portion, and an auxiliary discharge path for connecting a side of the orbiting wrap with a bottom surface of the orbiting wrap is provided to be communicated with the discharge hole, whereby a compressed refrigerant may be discharged through the auxiliary discharge path.

An electrical motor vehicle vacuum pump arrangement includes a housing assembly, a pump apparatus arranged therein, a drive motor, and a sound dampener. The housing assembly includes an inlet and an outlet opening arrangement. The pump apparatus includes a pump rotor housing with an inlet- and an outlet-side face wall, and a pump rotor housing part arranged therebetween. The inlet- and the outlet-side face wall and the pump rotor housing part enclose a pump rotor chamber with a pump rotor arranged therein. The drive motor is arranged in the housing assembly. The drive motor includes a motor rotor and a motor stator. The sound damper includes a first and a second sound damping chamber, and a sound dampener element. The first sound damping chamber is connected to the pump rotor chamber and to the second sound damping chamber. The second sound damping chamber is connected to the outlet opening arrangement.

In a rotary compressor, a lower end plate cover is formed in a flat plate shape, a lower discharge chamber concave portion is formed in a lower end plate to overlap a lower discharge hole side of a lower discharge valve accommodation concave portion, and the lower discharge chamber concave portion is formed in a fan-like range between a diametrical line passing through a center of a sub-bearing unit and a midpoint of a line segment connecting a center of the lower discharge hole and a center of a lower rivet to each other and a diametrical line opened by a pitch angle 90° in a direction of the lower discharge hole about the center of the sub-bearing unit. At least a portion of a refrigerant path hole overlaps the lower discharge chamber concave portion and is disposed at a position communicating with the lower discharge chamber concave portion.

A scroll compressor is disclosed, which comprises an auxiliary discharge path capable of sufficiently making sure of a discharge area at an initial discharge stage. The compressor comprises a fixed scroll including a fixed end plate portion and a fixed wrap, and an orbiting scroll including an orbiting end plate portion and an orbiting wrap, wherein a discharge hole is formed in the fixed end plate portion, and an auxiliary discharge path for connecting a side of the orbiting wrap with a bottom surface of the orbiting wrap is provided to be communicated with the discharge hole, whereby a compressed refrigerant may be discharged through the auxiliary discharge path.

A check valve includes a valve seat portion and a reed valve element and is received in a receiving hole of an intermediate pressure refrigerant supply passage that is placed adjacent to a flow inlet of an injection port, through which a refrigerant of an intermediate pressure is injected into a compression chamber. A center of the flow inlet of the injection port is offset from a central axis of a valve seat passage formed in the valve seat portion.

Provided is a scroll compressor, comprising a compression mechanism and a valve assembly. The compression mechanism is provided with a vent, and the valve assembly is used for selectively opening and closing the vent. The valve assembly comprises a valve plate and at least one valve piece. The valve plate comprises at least one valve orifice; and the valve piece is configured to selectively open and close the valve orifice. The scroll compressor further comprises a guide passageway. The guide passageway is provided with a first port communicating with the valve orifice and a second port communicating with the exhaust opening. The valve assembly and the compressor can significantly prolong the service life of the valve piece, and can provide good guidance for a fluid discharged from the compression mechanism, thereby significantly reducing the resistance of venting and the fluid pressure drop, and improving the effect of venting.

A vane pump including a housing having a peripheral wall portion, a bottom wall portion, and a pump chamber; a rotor disposed in the pump chamber to be rotatable; a vane disposed to be slidable in the radial direction with respect to the rotor and partitioning the pump chamber into working chambers; and a reed valve that opens and closes a discharge hole of the bottom wall portion. A pressure relief groove is disposed in a portion of the bottom wall portion corresponding to the discharge section with a clearance secured between the peripheral wall portion and the pressure relief groove. When the vane overlaps the pressure relief groove, a pair of the working chambers on both sides of the vane in the rotational direction communicates with each other via the pressure relief groove.

A vane rotary compressor may include a cylinder provided with at least one outlet port; a plurality of bearings coupled to both sides of the cylinder in an axial direction of the cylinder to form a compression space together with the cylinder; a rotational shaft radially supported by the plurality of bearings; a roller rotatably coupled to the rotational shaft and provided with a plurality of vane slots formed in a circumferential direction, each having a first end opened to an outer circumferential surface thereof; a plurality of vanes slidably inserted into the plurality of vane slots of the roller, respectively, and protruding toward an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder to partition the compression space into a plurality of compression chambers, respectively; a discharge valve coupled to the cylinder to open and close the at least one outlet port; and at least one bypass hole formed in at least one of the plurality of bearings or formed in the cylinder to bypass a portion of refrigerant compressed in the compression chamber.
