  • Publication number: 20170268340
    Abstract: Scroll fluid machine (1) in which the dislodgement of a slide bush (56) and a spring (61), which are provided in an eccentric bush (36), is prevented. Provided in receiving hole (58) of eccentric bush (36) are slide bush (56), which is movable in the direction of eccentricity, and spring (61), which biases slide bush (56) in a moving direction. A spring holding section (56b) and engagement projections (56a) are formed on slide bush (56). After slide bush (56) is placed in the receiving hole (58), engagement projections (56a) engage with eccentric bush (36) in a state in which slide bush (56) has been moved by the biasing force of spring (61), thus preventing slide bush (56) from falling off the receiving hole (58), and the spring holding section (56b) prevents the spring (61) from falling off the receiving hole (58).

  • Publication number: 20120148434
    Abstract: Disclosed is a scroll fluid machine wherein a scroll unit achieves higher performance while maintaining reliability. The disclosed scroll fluid machine is provided with: a first actuation chamber (100) and second actuation chamber (102) partitioned by the central end (98) of a wrap (48, 64) of a fixed scroll (44, 60) and the central end (96) of a wrap (46, 62) of a movable scroll (42, 58); and a connection path (106, 119, 112). When at least part of a connection hole (52, 72) gets blocked by the central end of the wrap of the movable scroll as the movable scroll moves in a circle, the connection path connects the first and second actuation chambers with the connection hole. When the central ends of the wraps of the fixed and movable scrolls abut against each other, the connection path cuts off the connection between the first and second actuation chambers and the connection hole.
