Patent number: 6905318Abstract: A compressor includes a compression chamber for compressing working fluid within an inside thereof, a discharge port, through which the working fluid flows out from the compression chamber, and a discharge valve for opening or closing the discharge port. The discharge valve includes a valve seat portion provided in the discharge port and having a tapered surface, so that a cross-section area of the discharge port comes to be large from a side of the compression chamber. The valve has a projection portion having a tapered surface in contact with the tapered surface of the valve seat portion. A spring is provided on a member formed in one body with the valve seat portion, for positioning the valve to the valve seat portion, wherein clearance volume of the discharge port is reduced, so as to improve the performances thereof.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2001Date of Patent: June 14, 2005Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Kouno, Hirokatsu Kohsokabe, Isao Hayase, Kenichi Oshima, Akihiko Ishiyama

Patent number: 6352418Abstract: A displacement type fluid machine which is easier to machine and assemble than a scroll type fluid machine and has high performance and low cost. A displacer is revolved in a cylinder having an inside wall formed by a curve such that a planar shape is continuous, whereby a working fluid is discharged through a plurality of discharge ports, there is provided a driving unit in which the orbiting radius of the displacer is variable along the shape of a movement line contact portion of the cylinder and the displacer.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2000Date of Patent: March 5, 2002Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hirokatsu Kohsokabe, Kunihiko Takao, Masahiro Takebayashi, Isao Hayase, Hiroaki Hata, Shigetaroo Tagawa, Kenji Tojo, Takeshi Kouno

Patent number: 6312237Abstract: In a displacement type fluid machine wherein a space is formed by the inner wall surface of a cylinder and the outer wall surface of a displacer when the center of the cylinder is located on the center of the displacer, and a plurality of working chambers is formed when the positional relationship between the displacer and cylinder is for a gyration, the wear is reduced between the cylinder and displacer. Sliding portions between the displacer 5 and a cylinder 4 are fed with a lubricating oil 12 by forming an oil-feeding groove 5c in the surface of the displacer 5 so as to extend from the central portion of the displacer 5 to the vicinity of a suction port 7a, and feeding the lubricating oil 12 from the central portion of the displacer 5, so that the wear can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2001Date of Patent: November 6, 2001Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Kouno, Hirokatsu Kohsokabe, Masahiro Takebayashi, Shunichi Mitsuya, Shigetaro Tagawa, Yasuhiro Ohshima, Kingo Moriyama

Patent number: 5531577Abstract: A scroll type fluid machine includes a lever 26 moved to draw a conical locus so that revolution is given to an orbiting scroll member 2, to thereby lower a sliding load and a sliding speed of a sliding portion on which a load is acted in a radial direction by the above principle. Further, the orbiting scroll member is supported in a thrust direction by a thrust force transmission member 50 interposed between the orbiting scroll member 2 and a fixed scroll member 1 to thereby lower a sliding speed of the sliding portion on which a load is acted in the thrust direction. With this arrangement, a scroll type fluid machine having high efficiency and durability can be provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 1994Date of Patent: July 2, 1996Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Isao Hayase, Shigeru Machida, Shunichi Mitsuya, Takeshi Kouno
