Abstract
This application discloses a reciprocating compressor including: a piston rod extending along a predetermined central axis that crosses an opening formed in an end of a cylinder, the piston rod being coupled to a piston and a crank mechanism to convey driving force from the crank mechanism to the piston; a rear head penetrated by the piston rod, the rear head closing the opening of the cylinder; and a rod ring portion configured to prevent a gas in the cylinder from leaking out from a gap between the rear head and the piston rod. The piston rod includes an outer circumferential surface on which an annular groove portion surrounding the central axis of the piston rod is formed. The rod ring portion includes an inner circumferential portion inserted into the groove portion, and an outer circumferential portion in sliding contact with an inner circumferential surface of the rear head.
