Abstract: A compressor includes a casing, a housing inside the casing, and first and second welds. The casing includes a tubular barrel casing and an end casing. The first weld welds the barrel casing and the housing together. The second weld welds the barrel casing and the end casing together along a circumferential direction. The second weld includes a repeatedly welded portion formed by one end portion and an other end portion of the second weld overlapping each other, or the second weld includes a plurality of second welds each including a repeatedly welded portion formed by an end portion of the second weld and an end portion of an other one of the second welds overlapping each other. The repeatedly welded portion are formed to reduce deformation of the barrel casing. The repeatedly welded portion and the first weld are aligned along an axial direction of the barrel casing.

Abstract: A compressor includes an actuator, a compression mechanism, a drive shaft, a support, a casing, and a welding pin. The drive shaft transmits a driving force of the actuator to the compression mechanism. The support supports a bearing that rotatably supports the drive shaft. The support has at least one hole formed in an outer surface. The casing has a cylindrical shape and accommodates the drive shaft and the support. The welding pin is press-fitted into the hole of the support and is welded and fixed to the casing. A low rigidity region is provided at at least a part of a periphery of an adjacent portion adjacent to the hole of the support. The low rigidity region has lower rigidity than the adjacent portion. The low rigidity region includes a thin portion having a smaller thickness in a radial direction of the casing than the adjacent portion.

Abstract: A compression mechanism of a scroll compressor has a back-pressure chamber defined on a back face of an end plate of a movable scroll. The compression mechanism has an annular space defined at an outer periphery of the end plate of the movable scroll. The movable scroll has a movable-side passage through which a compression chamber intermittently communicates with the back-pressure chamber in accordance with eccentric rotation of the movable scroll. The end plate of the movable scroll has a communication space through which the movable-side passage communicates with the annular space. The communication space includes first and second communication portions located forward and rearward of the movable-side passage in a direction of eccentric rotation, respectively. A first circumferential width of a first opening in the first communication portion is larger than a second circumferential width of a second opening in the second communication portion.
