Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the number of revolutions of the compressor body is increased to improve productivity, then the compression capacity increases, but the vibrations transmitted to the accumulator increase causing higher piping stress and noise
Solution Approach 1:
The invention utilizes vibration control by adjusting the phase difference between 1n and 3n frequency components to −20°≥θ≥60° at maximum revolutions, creating an antiresonance condition that reduces vibration transmission to the accumulator while maintaining high compression capacity

AI summary
A compressor unit includes a compressor body including a compression mechanism, and an accumulator connected to the compressor body. The compression mechanism includes a cylinder, a piston to rotate eccentrically in the cylinder, and a blade partitioning an interior of a compression chamber of the cylinder into low and high pressure chambers. A frequency one time an operation frequency n of the compressor body and a frequency three times the operation frequency n of the compressor body are a 1n frequency and a 3n frequency, respectively. A phase difference θ between a phase of a transfer function of the 1n frequency of the accumulator and a phase of a transfer function of the 3n frequency of the accumulator is −20°≥θ≥−60° with respect to a peak of the 1n frequency where the phase lag is positive, at a maximum number of revolutions of the compressor body.
