  • Patent number: 11933297
    Abstract: [Problem] A scroll compressor is provided which has improved workability when a back pressure chamber and a compression chamber are communicated with each other. [Solution] A scroll compressor 1 includes a back pressure chamber 39 formed in a back surface of a mirror plate 31 of a movable scroll 22 in the scroll compressor 1, and a communication hole 51 which is formed in the mirror plate 31 of the movable scroll 22 and communicates the back pressure chamber 39 and a compression chamber 34 with each other. The communication hole 51 is constituted of a large-diameter hole section 52 located on the back pressure chamber 33 side of the mirror plate 31 of the movable scroll 22, and a small-diameter hole section 53 which continues from the large-diameter hole section 52 to reach the compression chamber 34.

  • Patent number: 9893006
    Abstract: A semiconductor module includes a plurality of semiconductor chips that include gate electrodes on front surfaces, a gate terminal that receives a control signal from outside, and a print substrate. The print substrate includes a gate wiring layer that separates the control signal that is input into the gate terminal and passes the control signal to the gate electrodes of the semiconductor chips, and a cross-sectional area of the gate wiring layer becomes larger as the gate wiring layer gets closer to the gate terminal from the gate electrodes.

  • Patent number: 7806246
    Abstract: There is provided a lubricating structure of a one-way clutch which can lubricate rollers without degrading durability. A direction in which a lubricating oil passage for supplying oil to rollers of the one-way clutch extends is tilted relative to the rotational axis of an inner race and tilted relative to respective rotational axes of the rollers as viewed from the outer circumferential side of the inner race. Thus, a thin-walled part formed between the lubricating oil passage formed just below the roller and the surface on which the rollers roll can be reduced in size. As a result, when the inner race and the outer race are locked, roller's stress is less prone to be concentrated around the thin-walled part, and the deformation of the thin-walled part can be prevented, and therefore the degradation of the durability of the one-way clutch can be prevented.

A direction in which a lubricating oil passage for supplying oil to rollers of the one-way clutch extends is tilted relative to the rotational axis of an inner race and tilted relative to respective rotational axes of the rollers as viewed from the outer circumferential side of the inner race. Thus, as compared with the case where the lubricating oil passage is provided in parallel with the respective rotational axes of the rollers as viewed from the outer circumferential side of the inner race, a thin-walled part formed between the lubricating oil passage formed just below the roller and the surface on which the rollers roll can be reduced in size.
