  • Publication number: 20030223898
    Abstract: The invention aims to provide a scroll fluid machine which has auxiliary cranks divided into two separate crank members connected by pressure fitting in the process of assembling of the scroll machine. Each of the auxiliary cranks for regulating the motion of the revolving scroll is divided into a revolving scroll side crank member and a stationary scroll side crank member, the crank members are configured such that one of the crank members can be pressed into the other crank member, and both of the crank members are connected to compose a one-piece auxiliary crank when both of the scrolls are assembled.

  • Publication number: 20030059327
    Abstract: A scroll-type fluid machine includes a fixed scroll having spiral-form fixed wraps standing on one side face and an orbiting scroll having spiral-form orbiting wraps standing on one side face facing the fixed scroll. The orbiting scroll is set up on a drive shaft so as to be able to orbit. A sealed chamber is formed between the fixed wraps and the orbiting wraps. In the sealed chamber an outer sealed chamber and an inner sealed chamber are defined by an annular partition provided on either the fixed scroll or the orbiting scroll. The outer sealed chamber includes outer inlets on the outside and an outer outlet on the inside, and the inner sealed chamber includes an inner inlet on the outside and an inner outlet in the center. A gas that has been taken in via the outer inlets is compressed and discharged via the outer outlet, and a gas that has been taken in via the inner inlet is compressed and discharged via the inner outlet.

  • Publication number: 20030053922
    Abstract: A scroll-type fluid machine such as a scroll compressor or a scroll vacuum pump generates compression heat during compressing operation. A scroll body comprises a stationary scroll and an orbiting scroll that is revolved with respect to the stationary scroll eccentrically. The stationary scroll has a stationary wrap and the orbiting scroll has an orbiting wrap engaged with the stationary wrap to form a compression chamber therebetween. In the scroll-type fluid machine, a cooler is provided to cool high-temperature compressed air discharged from a discharge bore at the center of the stationary scroll.

  • Patent number: 6190145
    Abstract: The present invention is to offer a scroll fluid machine of which the scroll machine proper is cooled sufficiently and effectively and characterized in that, a tubular jacket 26 is provided, said tubular jacket surrounds the outer circumferential surface of a motor 15(motor housing 13) keeping some distance from said surface and has an annular opening 17a on said motor facing to said scroll machine proper side, from which opening cooling gas induced by a cooling fan 16 is taken in, and a passage 19 connecting to the cooling space 17 formed by said outer circumferential surface of the motor and said tubular jacket is provided to guide and introduce said taken-in cooling gas to said scroll machine proper in the direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the rotation shaft of said motor. Thus, the back side of the scroll disk of said scroll machine proper is cooled by the cooling gas flowing in one direction behind the scroll disk.
