Abstract: A scroll type compressor is disclosed. The scroll type compressor includes a housing, a frame, a compartment, a separator, a scroll pairs, a slider, a plurality of compartments, at least a pressure-regulating mechanism, and a guiding element. The compartment in the housing is separated into a high-pressure compartment, a low-pressure compartment, and a middle-pressure compartment. The separator is disposed between the high-pressure compartment and the low-pressure compartment. The separator includes an outlet at the center thereof, and at least a passage through the separator. When the pressure in the high-pressure compartment is less than that in low-pressure compartment, the pressure-regulating mechanism is opened to exhaust pressure from the middle-pressure compartment to the high-pressure compartment.

Abstract: A scroll type compressor with an enhanced sealing arrangement includes two sealing rings, mounted one between a first part of a gliding block and a first chamber of a fixed scroll and another one between a second part of the gliding block and a second chamber of the fixed scroll, respectively. The sealing ring has a U-shape cross section characterized in having a center depth smaller than half of a total height of the cross section. By providing such sealing rings, damage in mounting the sealing rings can be reduced to a minimum, possible leakage from the damage can be avoided, the assembly process in producing the compressor can be improved, and the compressor can be successfully merchandized.

Abstract: A scroll apparatus with an axial gap control function is described. The scroll apparatus is capable of controlling the axial gap between its fixed scroll and orbiting scroll. The scroll apparatus has a frame with a pair of indentations installed in the casing of the scroll apparatus, a pair of flexible elements installed at the lateral side top of the frame and spanning the pair of indentations for defining a suspended flexible segment at the span, a sidewall having a positioning ring with a downward protruding body corresponding to the indentation, in which the protruding body of the positioning ring is fixed to the flexible segment of the flexible element, a fixed scroll suspended at the positioning ring, and an orbiting scroll for orbiting into the fixed scroll.

Abstract: A scroll compressor with a backflow-proof mechanism. The scroll compressor comprises a slider disposed on a scroll couple, forming several enclosed spaces. The slider is raised by the working fluid in the spaces, preventing liquid leakage from a high-pressure chamber to a low-pressure chamber, when the scroll compressor starts. The slider descends when the compression ratio of the scroll compressor is exceeded. Thus, the pressure is released, and the performance of the scroll compressor is improved. The slider of the invention further comprises a floating element to prevent reversal of pressurized fluid and damage to the scroll couple.

Abstract: A locating mechanism of the fixed volute of a scroll compressor comprises a frame, a fixed volute and an orbiting volute. The frame is provided with a predetermined number of locating faces having thereon respectively a locating member which is fastened with the frame and has a sliding connection face of an arcuate construction. The fixed volute is provided with a predetermined number of shoulders which are corresponding in location and number to the locating members and are provided respectively on the outer side thereof with a sliding connection face of an arcuate construction and engageable with the sliding connection face of the locating member. The fixed volute can be caused to slide up and down along the sliding connection face of the locating member. The sliding connection face of the locating member is provided on the top thereof with a retaining portion for preventing the fixed volute from moving upward.
