According to the present invention, there is provided a compressor including: a piston reciprocated in a cylinder; a valve seat plate provided with a port through which a fluid passes along with the reciprocation of the piston; a valve provided in the valve seat plate to open/close the port; a valve receiver regulating the degree of opening of the valve; and a stress suppression member provided between the valve and the valve receiver, wherein the stress suppression member includes a valve exposing portion exposing the valve.

Compressor valve arrangement

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a reciprocating compressor which is a compact, light-weight, portable air compressor such that deterioration of performance due to problems such as wear on the surface finish of the cylinder when the compressor is used for a long period of time outside the operating temperature range thereof is prevented. To achieve this, the cylinder temperature is detected, and control is carried out so that the compressor is restarted at a lower restart pressure when the temperature is lower than a prescribed value and stopped (and also restarted, preferably) at a low pressure when the temperature is higher than a prescribed value.

Reciprocating compressor and control method therefor

A reciprocating compressor including an oscillation-type piston mechanism is provided with a piston ring which is mounted in a piston ring groove to seal a space between a piston and a cylinder. A ring groove other than the piston ring groove is provided at an outer periphery of the piston on a side away from the piston ring groove and closer to a crank shaft. A guide ring, which is inhibited from radial movement and shaped like a skirt opened toward the crank shaft, is mounted in the ring groove. Thus, the oscillation-type reciprocating compressor is adapted to maintain long-term durability even under high-pressure compression condition and to prevent heat propagation to a large end portion.

Reciprocating compressor

A swing-type reciprocative compressor is capable of maintaining long durability and preventing propagation of heat to the large end portion of a piston, even under high-compression. In the reciprocative compressor having a swing-type piston mechanism, a piston ring is attached to a piston ring groove to seal between a piston and a cylinder. A ring groove is provided separately from the piston ring groove on the outer circumferential side of the piston and on the crankshaft side of the piston ring groove. A guide ring restricted from moving in a radial direction and shaped like a skirt opening toward the crankshaft side is provided in the ring groove.
