  • Patent number: 11933298
    Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided which is capable of performing an adjustment to appropriate back pressure in both a low-speed operation condition and an operation condition low in suction pressure by improving the position or dimension of a back pressure hole. The scroll compressor includes a back pressure chamber 29 formed on the back surface of a mirror plate 31 of a movable scroll 22, and back pressure holes 51 and 52 formed in the mirror plate of the movable scroll and providing communication between the back pressure chamber and the compression chamber 34. After the back pressure hole 52 is opened inside a lap 32 of the movable scroll in a first crank angle range, the back pressure hole 52 is temporarily closed by a lap 24 of a fixed scroll 21 and then opened inside the lap of the fixed scroll in a second crank angle range.

  • Publication number: 20240060494
    Abstract: To reduce surface pressure acting on a tip of a winding terminal portion of a spiral wall of an orbiting scroll in a scroll compressor. In a scroll compressor 10, a thrust plate 81 and a thrust sheet 82 capable of being elastically deformed are provided between an opposing surface 237 serving as a thrust receiving part and an orbiting base plate 521 of an orbiting scroll 52. A first sealing member 83 seals between the orbiting base plate 521 and the thrust sheet 82 and a second sealing member 84 having a diameter greater than that of the first sealing member 83 seals the opposing surface 237 of a second partition wall 232 and the thrust plate 81. A back pressure chamber H5 is partitioned from a suction pressure area (space H6) by the thrust plate 81, thrust sheet 82, the first sealing member 83, and the second sealing member 84. A circular concave portion 816 is formed on a surface of the thrust plate 81 on the thrust sheet 82 side.

  • Publication number: 20240026881
    Abstract: [Problem] To reduce imbalance among all movable components of a scroll compressor including a drive shaft and components fixed or connected to the drive shaft. In a scroll compressor 10, a shaft balancer 31 integrated with a drive shaft 30 includes a first weight 33 disposed on the opposite side from an eccentric pin 71 with respect to a center line CL0 of the drive shaft 30, and a bushing balancer 721 integrated with an eccentric bush 72 includes a second weight 723 disposed on the radially outer side of the eccentric bush 72 and on the opposite side from a center line CL1 of the eccentric pin 71 with respect to a center line CL2 of the eccentric bush 72. In a view from the axial direction of the drive shaft 30, the second weight 723 is symmetric with respect to a virtual line passing through the center of the drive shaft 30 and the center of the eccentric bush 72, and the first weight 33 is asymmetric with respect to the virtual line.

  • Publication number: 20240026882
    Abstract: Reduction of a rotational moment that occurs in an orbiting scroll is suppressed. A scroll compressor 10 includes: a fixed scroll 51; an orbiting scroll 52; an anti-rotation mechanism 300; and a back pressure chamber H5. A spiral orbiting wrap 522 of the orbiting scroll 52 is meshed with a spiral fixed wrap 512 of the fixed scroll 51. A first compression chamber C1 is formed by an inner wall surface 522a of the orbiting wrap 522 and an outer wall surface 512b of the fixed wrap 512. A second compression chamber C2 is formed by an inner wall surface 512a of the fixed wrap 512 and an outer wall surface 522b of the orbiting wrap 522. The orbiting base plate 521 of the orbiting scroll 52 includes a first through hole 701 capable of communicating the first compression chamber C1 with the back pressure chamber H5 and a second through hole 702 capable of communicating the second compression chamber C2 with the back pressure chamber H5.

  • Publication number: 20240011488
    Abstract: To suppress reduced rotational moments that occur at a movable scroll. A scroll compressor (1) includes a fixed scroll (2), a movable scroll (3), and an anti-rotation mechanism (30). A spiral movable wrap (3b) of the movable scroll (3) meshes with a spiral fixed wrap (2b) of the fixed scroll (2). A first compression chamber (C1) is formed by an inner wall surface (3b1) of the movable wrap (3b) and an outer wall surface (2b2) of the fixed wrap (2b). A second compression chamber (C2) is formed by an inner wall surface (2b1) of the fixed wrap (2b) and an outer wall surface (3b2) of the movable wrap (3b). After a winding terminal end (3f) of the movable wrap (3b) contacts the outer wall surface (2b2) of the fixed wrap (2b) and the first compression chamber (C1) is thereby closed, a winding terminal end (2f) of the fixed wrap (2b) contacts the outer wall surface (3b2) of the movable wrap (3b) and the second compression chamber (C2) is thereby closed.

  • Publication number: 20220410048
    Abstract: To improve separation performance of oil. An oil separation structure 55 includes a partition member 62 configured to partition the inside of a separation chamber 42 in the up-down direction. The partition member 62 includes a cylindrical support portion 71 supported by an inner circumferential surface 63 of the separation chamber 42 and a cylindrical swirl acceleration portion having an upper end side continuously formed from the support portion 71, having a smaller diameter than the support portion 71, and having a lower end side closed, and the swirl acceleration portion has a communication path 75 formed, the communication path 75 communicating the radial inside and the radial outside with each other, and accelerates swirling of refrigerant, the refrigerant having descended while swirling along the inner circumferential surface 63 of the separation chamber 42.

  • Patent number: 10941769
    Abstract: An object is to optimize a back pressure pressing an orbiting scroll against a fixed scroll in a scroll compressor to which an injection cycle is applied. A back pressure control valve (400) adjusting back pressure (Pm) in a back pressure chamber (H4), adjusts the opening degree of a first valve body (424) increasing and decreasing the flow rate of lubricant which has been separated from gaseous refrigerant compressed in a compression chamber and is supplied to the back pressure chamber (H4), in accordance with suction pressure (Ps) in a suction chamber (H1), discharge pressure (Pd) in a discharge chamber (H2), and injection pressure (Pinj). Then, the back pressure control valve (400) increases and decreases the lubricant flow rate in accordance with injection pressure (Pinj) as well as suction pressure (Ps) and discharge pressure (Pd), to adjust back pressure to target back pressure varying in accordance with injection pressure (Pinj).
