  • Publication number: 20240060556
    Abstract: The sensor arrangement structure includes a pulley that rotates about a rotation axis; and a sensor that detects rotation of the pulley. The pulley includes a fixed pulley, a movable pulley that can be displaced relative to the fixed pulley in a direction of the rotation axis, and a plunger defining an oil chamber on a back of the movable pulley. The plunger is provided with a detection target portion in a region that can be visually recognized from the direction of the rotation axis, and the sensor is provided on a support portion that rotatably supports the fixed pulley in a direction along the rotation axis and faces the region in which the detection target portion is provided.

  • Patent number: 10458407
    Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a first chamfered portion formed at a distal end portion of a spiral blade of a fixed scroll, a second chamfered portion formed at a distal end portion of a spiral blade of an orbiting scroll, a third chamfered portion formed at a bottom portion of the spiral blade of the fixed scroll, and a fourth chamfered portion formed at a bottom portion of the spiral blade of the orbiting scroll. An expression of 0<{(Av1+Av2)/2}/Ac<1×10?4 is satisfied where a sectional area of a space between the first chamfered portion and the fourth chamfered portion is defined as Av1, a sectional area of a space between the second chamfered portion and the third chamfered portion is defined as Av2, and a sectional area of a compression chamber is defined as Ac.

  • Patent number: 9976556
    Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a sealed container, a compression mechanism portion for a refrigerant, a compliant frame and a guide frame which support an orbiting scroll, an electric motor which drives the orbiting scroll, balance weights, a refrigerant flow path which introduces a refrigerant gas discharged through a discharge port of a fixed scroll to a bottom portion of the sealed container, cup-shaped members provided on both upper and lower surfaces of the rotor of the electric motor and contain the balance weights, a penetrating flow path through which the refrigerant gas containing a refrigerating machine oil flows from a lower side of the rotor of the electric motor through the interiors of the cup-shaped members to an upper side of the rotor, and a discharge cover which is provided at a lower portion of the frame, and which introduces the refrigerant gas to a discharge pipe.
