  • Patent number: 11885335
    Abstract: An oil supply mechanism comprises: an oil pump device connected to a rotating shaft of a rotating machinery; a main oil supply passage formed in the rotating shaft substantially in the axial direction of the rotating shaft; and a bypass oil passage in communication with the main oil supply passage and allowing a part of lubricating oil in the main oil supply passage to flow out via the bypass oil passage. The bypass oil passage extends in a direction substantially transverse to the rotating shaft. The bypass oil passage is configured such that a radial distance from an outlet of the bypass oil passage to the axis of the rotating shaft is greater than the radius of the rotating shaft.

  • Patent number: 11859613
    Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a fixed scroll, a movable scroll, a main bearing housing and an axial compliance mounting mechanism. The fixed scroll is engaged with the movable scroll to compress a working fluid. The main bearing housing has a bearing surface for supporting a movable scroll end plate. The fixed scroll is fixedly connected to a connecting portion of the main bearing housing by the axial compliance mounting mechanism so that the fixed scroll can move in the axial direction by a predetermined distance. The fixed scroll further includes a flange extending radially outward from a circumferential wall portion, having an axial geometric center position between a first surface and a second surface and positioned such that the axial geometric center position is closer to the movable scroll end plate than the axial middle position thereof. The structure can prevent or reduce damage to the axial compliance mounting mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11859615
    Abstract: A scroll compressor comprises a partition plate, a compression mechanism, a capacity adjustment device and a sealing assembly. The sealing assembly isolates a back pressure chamber from a high-pressure space and low-pressure space. A first sealing portion is formed between the sealing assembly and the partition plate. The capacity adjustment device is provided with a variable pressure chamber and configured to establish or break the communication between a first compression chamber and the low pressure space by changing the pressure in the variable pressure chamber. According to the compressor, requirements for pressure in the back pressure chamber of the compressor in different load conditions can be balanced, the axial force on the compression mechanism can be reduced, the power consumption of the scroll compressor can be lowered, the system performance can be improved, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
