  • Patent number: 5308231
    Abstract: The scroll compressor 10 includes a housing 12. A fixed scroll 18, with an end plate 20, a spiral wrap 22 and a discharge aperture 90, is an integral part of the rear section 16 of the housing. An orbital scroll 24, including an end plate 26 and a spiral wrap 28, cooperates with the fixed scroll 18 to form sealed fluid pockets 38 and 40. An axial thrust and rotation prevention assembly 46 allows orbital motion, prevents rotation of the orbital scroll 24 and limits axial movement of the orbital scroll 24 away from the fixed scroll 18. The orbital scroll 24 is driven to move the fluid pockets 38 and 40 toward the center of the scrolls, and compress fluid in the pockets. The drive for the orbital scroll 24 includes a crankshaft 74 with a crank pin 78 journaled in the housing 12. An eccentric bushing 80 is journaled by a bearing 81 in a boss 82 on the orbital scroll 24. The crank pin 78 passes through a bore 87 in the eccentric bushing 80 to rotate the bushing.
