  • Patent number: 9765782
    Abstract: A scroll compressor of the present invention includes a partition plate 20, a fixed scroll 30, an orbiting scroll 40, a rotation-restraining member 90, a main bearing 60, a bearing-side concave portion 102, a scroll-side concave portion 101 and a columnar member 100. A lower end of the columnar member 100 is inserted into the bearing-side concave portion 102, and an upper end of the columnar member is inserted into the scroll-side concave portion 101. The columnar member 100 slides with at least one of the bearing-side concave portion 102 and the scroll-side concave portion 101, thereby moving the fixed scroll 30 in an axial direction between the partition plate 20 and the main bearing 60. A high pressure is applied to a discharge space 30H, thereby pressing the fixed scroll 30 against the orbiting scroll 40.

  • Patent number: 9435337
    Abstract: A diameter of a main bearing member 12m is defined as Dm, a length thereof is defined as Lm, a diameter of the eccentric bearing member 11e is defined as De and a length thereof is defined as Le. A ratio (=Lm/Dm) of the length and the diameter of the main bearing member 12m and a ratio (=Le/De) of the length and the diameter of the eccentric bearing member 11e are set to Le/De?Lm/Dm?1. Therefore, contact at edge portions of both ends of the eccentric bearing member 11e does not occur, and it is possible to prevent contact at edge portions of both ends of the main bearing member 12m even if the main shaft 13m inclines, and to reduce a viscosity loss caused by oil 9a. Hence, the present invention provides a scroll compressor securing reliability of the bearing members 12m, 11e and 16s and having high efficiency.
