  • Patent number: 11953003
    Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided, the scroll compressor having a block insertion groove recessed by a predetermined depth into a rear surface of a non-orbiting scroll to accommodate a discharge port and a plurality of bypass holes, and a retainer block having a bypass valve that opens and closes the plurality of bypass holes fixedly inserted into the block insertion groove. The bypass valve may be fixed to a first axial side surface of the retainer block facing the block insertion groove. Through this, the bypass valve that suppresses or prevents overcompression of a compression chamber is not fastened to a non-orbiting end plate, which may allow the non-orbiting end plate to be reduced in thickness. This may shorten lengths of the plurality of bypass holes and the discharge port by the reduced thickness of the non-orbiting end plate, thereby decreasing a dead volume in the plurality of bypass holes and the discharge port.

  • Publication number: 20240102469
    Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided that may include a block insertion groove configured to accommodate a discharge port and at least one bypass hole disposed in a rear surface of a non-orbiting end plate of a non-orbiting scroll, and a retainer block including at least one bypass valve configured to open or close the at least one bypass hole inserted into the block insertion groove. The at least one bypass hole may include a first bypass hole and a second bypass hole. The at least one bypass valve may include a first bypass valve configured to open or close the first bypass hole and a second bypass valve configured to open or close the second bypass hole, and may be disposed between the block insertion groove and the retainer block facing the block insertion groove. Accordingly, the first and second bypass valves that suppress or prevent overcompression in a compression chamber are not fastened to the non-orbiting end plate, which may allow the non-orbiting end plate to be made thin.

  • Publication number: 20240077080
    Abstract: A scroll compressor is disclosed. The scroll compressor may include a back pressure hole formed through a non-orbiting scroll and a back pressure chamber assembly such that a compression chamber and a back pressure chamber communicate with each other. A back pressure valve may be disposed inside of the back pressure hole and move along a longitudinal direction of the back pressure hole by a pressure difference between the compression chamber and the back pressure chamber, to vary a flow path area of the back pressure hole. The back pressure valve may include a valve body that extends in an axial direction and a plurality of holes formed through the valve body in the axial direction. With the configuration, pressure pulsation in the back pressure chamber may be suppressed or prevented.

  • Publication number: 20180121715
    Abstract: The present invention includes the steps of: displaying an unlocking interface via a user interrupt; receiving an unlocking pattern inputted via the unlocking interface; detecting the received unlocking pattern and executing a mode corresponding to the detected unlocking pattern to thereby measure the status degree of an object corresponding to the detected unlocking pattern; and calling a lookup table in which a range of adequate status degrees for each type is measured and matched according to a pre-set and classified object type to thereby determine the status degree of the measured object, and feeding back the result of the determination via the unlocking interface.
