Abstract
A rotary compressor having a plurality of compression chambers and adapted to vary a compression capacity according to a direction of rotation of roller pistons within the compression chambers. A rotating shaft provided with a plurality of eccentric parts drives the roller pistons to compress refrigerant in the compression chambers by eccentric rotations of the eccentric parts. A reversible motor selectively rotates the rotating shaft in opposite directions, and a clutch engages the roller pistons such that the roller pistons perform a compressing action or an idle action according to a rotating direction of the rotating shaft, thus varying the compression capacity of the compressor according to a rotating direction of the rotating shaft. Thus, the compression capacity may be varied without using an inverter circuit.
