  • Patent number: 7150609
    Abstract: An eccentric coupling device in a radial compliance scroll compressor including a crank pin eccentrically arranged at an upper end of a crankshaft included in the scroll compressor, and provided with a vertically-extending cut surface at one side thereof, a bush fitted around the crank pin, and provided with a crank pin hole and a stopper hole, a stopper fitted in the stopper hole, and an engagement jaw adapted to prevent a vertical movement of the stopper, thereby preventing a vertical movement of the bush, the engagement jaw being provided at an upper end of the crank pin. The bush is arranged such that an upper end thereof is flush with an upper end of the crank pin. The stopper hole overlaps with the crank pin hole so that the stopper selectively comes into contact with the cut surface in accordance with a rotation of the crank pin. The stopper has a length shorter than that of the stopper hole.

  • Publication number: 20060222549
    Abstract: An oil feed controller of an inverter compressor controls the quantity of feeding oil to prevent excess oil from being fed to a compression part when rotational speed of a rotation shaft is increased. The oil feed controller includes an installation hole formed in the rotation shaft to communicate with an oil passage of the rotation shaft, a bypass formed in the rotation shaft to communicate with the leading end of the installation hole, and an oil feeding controlling part installed in the installation hole to close the bypass when the rotation shaft rotates at low speed and to open the bypass when the rotation shaft rotates at high speed such that the quantity of oil ascending to the compression part through the oil passage is controlled.

  • Publication number: 20060222551
    Abstract: An oil feeding propeller of a scroll compressor for preventing deterioration of oil feeding generated when a rotation shaft is rotated in reverse is disclosed. The propeller is tightly fitted into the lower side of the oil passage of the rotation shaft, sucks oil into the shell due to rotation shaft of shaft to raise oil to a compression part of the scroll compressor. The propeller includes a plate without operative direction for feeding oil in a predetermined direction so as to raise a predetermined quantity of oil regardless of the rotation direction shaft.

  • Publication number: 20060222546
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a fixed scroll of a scroll compressor capable of preventing gaseous refrigerant, that is heated in the compressor or contains a large amount of oil scatted in a compression unit, from being introduced into a compression chamber. The fixed scroll includes an open involuted wrap provided at a lower surface thereof, a compression chamber defined in the wrap, a plurality of mounting legs formed at a lower surface of a flange portion around the wrap, and an interceptive guiding portion configured to guide suctioned gaseous refrigerant, introduced to the lower surface of the flange portion, to a tip end of the wrap while preventing the gaseous refrigerant from being circulated between the mounting legs underneath the lower surface of the flange portion, thereby allowing the refrigerant to be introduced into the compression chamber.

  • Publication number: 20060222545
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a scroll compressor, and more particularly, a fixed scroll of the scroll compressor which can allow part of gaseous refrigerant to be smoothly introduced into a compression chamber while preventing introduction of the remaining gaseous refrigerant that is heated in the compressor. The fixed scroll includes a scroll body having an involuted wrap to define a compression chamber therein and provided, around a lower end thereof, with a mounting flange to be arranged on an upper surface of a main frame, and an interceptive suction portion configured to guide part of the gaseous refrigerant, that is directed upward along the main frame, into the compression chamber while preventing introduction of the remaining gaseous refrigerant that is circulated around the scroll body.

  • Patent number: 7104771
    Abstract: An eccentric bush structure in a radial compliance scroll compressor including an eccentric bush fitted around a crank pin eccentrically provided at an upper end of a crankshaft, crank pin and stopper holes provided at the eccentric bush, and a weight member adapted to increase a weight of the eccentric bush. The stopper hole overlaps with the crank pin hole such that a stopper received in the stopper hole is radially protruded into the crank pin hole toward a vertically-extending cut surface formed at the crank pin to selectively come into contact with the cut surface in accordance with a rotation of the crank pin.

  • Publication number: 20060099098
    Abstract: A discharge valve system of a scroll compressor comprises: a fixed scroll having a discharge hole and discharge bypass holes; a discharge valve assembly mounted at the fixed scroll, for opening and closing the discharge hole by a pressure difference; and an integral bypass valve assembly mounted at the fixed scroll, for opening and closing the bypass holes and interworking the discharge valve assembly. According to this, a discharge amount of gas is maximized in a low pressure ration driving of the scroll compressor thereby to enhance a discharge efficiency. Also, the number of components is greatly reduced thus to reduce a fabrication cost. Also, the number of assembly processes is greatly reduced thereby to enhance an assembly productivity.

  • Publication number: 20060057009
    Abstract: A scroll compressor having a vacuum preventing structure includes: a casing forming a receiving space therein; a fixed scroll fixed to a main frame installed in the casing, and including a back pressure passage at an outer side surface thereof, a discharge pressure hole formed at one side of the back pressure passage such that the back pressure passage and a discharge pressure space of the casing can communicate with each other, a middle pressure hole formed at another side of the back pressure passage such that the back pressure passage and a compression space of the casing can communicate with each other, and a suction pressure hole formed at still another side of the back pressure passage such that the back pressure passage and a suction pressure space can communicate with each other; an orbiting scroll positioned between the fixed scroll and the main frame and forming a compression space by being coupled with the fixed scroll; a piston slidably installed in the back pressure passage, for opening or closin
