BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention generally relates to a method for fabricating a semi-hermetic scroll compressor and its structure, especially to the method for fabricating the structure of the semi-hermetic scroll compressor being by way of assembling a plurality of sub-casings with fixing design therein and fewer compressor elements and providing a function of quality control as well.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a sectional view of a hermetic scroll compressor in prior arts. A casing 10′ of the compressor adopts steel to be structured by way of welding. Components inside the casing are piled up, therefore, it is known that the components being installed in the casing 10′ shall be in sequence from a bottom of the compressor to a top of the compressor, and then to weld the casing 10′ for enclosing.

As it can be seen in the FIG. 1, the components are mainly accumulated in the casing 10′ in sequence as a lower bearing 13′, a motor stator 16′, a motor rotor 17′, a drive shaft 18′ with an eccentric crank pin 23′, an upper counterweight 19′, a bearing base 21′, a main bearing 14′, a lower counterweight 20′, an upper bearing 15′, a brace 24′, an orbiting scroll member 25′, a fixed scroll member 26′, a partition plate 31′, a floating seal 30′ and a discharging port 34′. A motor base 11′, a lubricant tank 12′, a boss 22′, plural compressing chambers 27′, 28′ and 29′, a high-pressure passage 32′, a high-pressure chamber 33′ and plural lubricant channels 35′ are naturally formed while aforesaid accumulated components being assembled.

The following will describe in detail for the relationships of the components. Firstly, to offer a lower part of the casing 10′, and the motor base 11′ and the lubricant tank 12′ are initially shaped in the lower part of the casing 10′. Then the motor stator 16′ and the motor rotor 17′ are installed in as a motor part in the compressor. The drive shaft 18′ is assembled with the lower bearing 13′, the main bearing 14′, the upper counterweight 19′ and the lower counterweight 20′ in the lower part of the casing 10′. Of course, the bearing base 21′ is put together as well in the step. The brace 24′ is fit in for accepting the orbiting scroll member 25′ and the fixed scroll member 26′ continuously, and therefore the two scroll members being mounted on. Meanwhile, the boss 22′ of the orbiting scroll member 25′ surround with the eccentric crank pin 23′ of the drive shaft 18′. Obviously, the orbiting scroll member 25′ is driven by the drive shaft 18′ via the eccentric crank pin 23′, and the structures of the orbiting scroll member 25′ and the fixed scroll member 26′ are corresponded together to have the plurality of compressing chambers 27′, 28′ and 29′, which achieve high pressure while the orbiting scroll member 25′ being in motion to decrease volumes of the compressing chambers. The partition plate 31′ is then covered on a top of the lower part of the casing 10′ with the floating seal 30′. The floating seal 30′ functions to prevent leaking, therefore the high-pressure passage 32′ is configured and to let compressed high-pressure vapor refrigerant pass through. Finally, to weld an upper part of the casing 10′ is to form the high-pressure chamber 33′ for containing the high-pressure vapor refrigerant. Meantime the discharging port 34′ is mounted also while fixing the upper part of the casing 10′. Furthermore, some lubricant channels are configured on relevant components for lubricant going back to the lubricant tank 12′ and avoiding to bring lubricant back into the high-pressure chamber 33′ via inlet refrigerant. Hence, an important issue is extended, which is that the components are accumulated while in assembly, and how to accurately connect two adjacent components for configuring a lubricant channel or channels is a must for technical consideration.

Up to now, there are some problems being raised as following since relative relationships among the motor part, including the drive shaft 18′, the motor stator 16′ and the motor rotor 17′, the bearing part, including the lower bearing 13′, the main bearing 14′ and the upper bearing 15′, and others being made, especially an eccentric distance for the eccentric crank pin 23′ generated by the scroll structure:

  • 1. The components are piled up, and therefore each component with its own precisions of dimensions, locations, etc. must be very accurate. Therefore the time for manufacturing will be longer comparatively.
  • 2. The prior art has only one positioning portion for a stand height, that is, the motor base 11′, other components are thus accumulated thereon. Obviously, almost all of the components must be positioned so as to that causing harder and longer assembly.
  • 3. Welding causes high temperature to further affect the dimensional precisions of distances between components, each component and the casing 10′. Hence, the quality control is difficult to approach or the clearance between each component should be enlarged to cover the dimensions of each component due to high temperature.
  • 4. All of the components are already in machining before installing, and consequently some places for two or more components accumulated together may be more precise by requests, hence the precision being asked is raised to cause longer assembly time.
    As aforesaid, to develop another type of compressor to solve those problems becomes an important issue in the field.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main objective of the present invention is to offer a method for fabricating a semi-hermetic scroll compressor and its structure to adopt a plurality of suitable portions on several sub-casings of the semi-hermetic scroll compressor for sectional positioning standards.
