To relieve an intermittent flow of a sucked refrigerant caused by the opening and closing of a read valve at a suction hole, increase sucking efficiency, reduce noise effectively, and increase performance and efficiency in a closed type motor-driven compressor used for household refrigerators.
When a reed valve 15 is opened, a refrigerant gas is filled once into a refrigerant in/outflow branch pipe 19. When the valve is opened again, the gas inside the refrigerant in/outflow branch pipe 19 is fed to a cylinder so as to maintain and increase a flow inertia in order to increase a suction efficiency. By this, a highly efficient low noise closed type motor-driven compressor can be obtained. Also, by a sound resonance energy determined by the specifications of the branch pipe, the vibration amplitude of the reed valve 15 can be controlled so as to increase the performance and efficiency.
