Rotary compressor

A rotary compressor is provided that may include a casing, a cylinder having an inner circumferential surface in an annular shape, a roller rotatably disposed in a compression space of the cylinder, a rotational shaft coupled to an inner circumference of the roller, main and sub bearings defining surfaces of the compression space, and a sub bearing cover coupled to the sub bearing to cover one end of the sub bearing and defining a discharge chamber with the sub bearing to communicate with the compression space so as to accommodate compressed refrigerant to be discharged. The sub bearing or the sub bearing cover may include a first barrier rib that protrudes from a surface thereof located inside of the discharge chamber. The first barrier rib may be spaced apart from a surface opposite to the surface within the discharge chamber by a predetermined distance.
