Abstract
A compressor is provided that may include a cylinder including an outer cylinder portion and an inner cylinder portion, and a vane portion connected between the outer cylinder portion and inner cylinder portion, which is fixed to a casing. A rolling piston may be slidably coupled to the vane portion to form an outer compression space and an inner compression space while making a turning movement between the outer cylinder portion and the inner cylinder portion. Through this, a weight of a rotating body may be reduced to obtain low power loss with respect to a same cooling power and a small bearing area, thereby reducing refrigerant leakage as well as easily changing a capacity of a cylinder in an expanded manner. Moreover, refrigerant may be discharged in opposite directions in each compression space, thereby reducing vibration noise of the compressor. In addition, a back pressure groove may be formed on an upper surface of a drive transmission portion of the rolling piston, thereby reducing a friction area between the rolling piston and the upper bearing, as well as reducing a friction loss between the rolling piston and the upper bearing due to oil filled into the back pressure g…
