Abstract: A scroll compressor has a check valve assembly for selectively opening and closing a discharge port and allowing a fluid to flow only from the discharge port towards a discharge chamber. A stationary end plate mounted in the scroll compressor has a plurality of bypass holes defined therein at locations symmetrical in terms of pressure. The plurality of bypass holes are open to compression chambers closest to the discharge port and communicate with the discharge chamber. The stationary end plate also has at least one bypass valve for selectively opening and closing the bypass holes and allowing the fluid to flow only from the compression chambers towards the discharge chamber through the bypass holes. The bypass holes are serviceable to prevent an excessive compression and are positioned so as not to be closed by an orbiting scroll wrap immediately after the compression chambers closest to the discharge port have communicated with the discharge port.

Abstract: The present invention provides a low-pressure scroll compressor for use in a refrigerating system of an air conditioning apparatus or the like. Lubricating oil is intermittently supplied to a compressor unit in proportional relation to the rotating number of the motor, avoiding an excessive or insufficient supply of a lubricating oil and realizing a proper supply of the lubricating oil even in high-speed rotation of the motor. Thus the compressor is highly reliable. Further, a screening plate is provided in the suction space of a compressor, so that the lubricating oil in the coolant or cooling medium can be effectively separated from the coolant, resulting in enhancement of collecting efficiency of the lubricating oil. Moreover, the screening plate is useful to prevent a hermetic terminal from being cooled by the returning coolant. Otherwise, dew condensation would occur on the hermetic terminal, and leakage or shortcircuiting would be caused, a vital obstacle to the safety of the compressor.

Abstract: A scroll compressor for use as a refrigerant compressor in an air conditioner or as an air compressor. An orbiting scroll member of the compressor has a drive shaft integral therewith and received in a bore formed in an eccentric bearing which in turn is received in an elongated hole formed in an end surface of a crankshaft such that the eccentric bearing is slidable in the elongated hole. The elongated hole and the eccentric bearing are so sized that the orbiting scroll wrap and a cooperating stationary scroll wrap do not contact with each other. A constant minimum gap is left between both scroll wraps regardless of any change in the centrifugal force acting on the orbiting scroll member due to a change in the operation speed. In consequence, vibration and noise due to contact between both scroll wraps are remarkably reduced and the efficiency of the compressor is improved appreciably.
