Abstract
A rotary compressor is disclosed. The compressor reduces frictional loss in a contact part between the rolling piston and the eccentric sheave and in contact parts between the crankshaft and the main and sub bearings by achieving smooth lubrication to the contact parts. In the compressor, a lubricating groove is formed on the outer surface of the eccentric sheave. A hole communicating with the internal oil conduit of the crankshaft is formed in the lubricating groove and supplies oil from the oil conduit to the outer surface of the sheave. Lubricating grooves are also formed on the inner surfaces of the main and sub bearings so as to facilitate oil supply for the contact parts between the crankshaft and the bearings.
