The casing has an orbiting groove in which the eccentric bush performs the orbiting motion, a buffer member is interposed between the orbiting groove and the balance weight. Rotation clearance is formed between the recess part and the shaft. The buffer member is compressed between the balance weight and the orbiting groove before the recess part and the shaft contact each other by the rotation clearance.

  • Patent number: 11247534
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of controlling a compressor, and may include: pilot driving which drives a compressor of an air conditioner by receiving a start signal; determining whether oil is short which compares the oil amount of the compressor, driven in the pilot driving, with a predetermined reference oil amount; normal driving which maintains the driving of the compressor when it is determined that the oil amount is the reference oil amount or more; and stopping which stops the driving of the compressor when it is determined that the oil amount is smaller than the reference oil amount. Accordingly, by stopping the compressor when the oil is short, it is possible to prevent damage to the compressor.

  • Patent number: 11136979
    Abstract: A scroll compressor that includes a rotating shaft, an eccentric bush having a recess, into which one end of the shaft is inserted, and an eccentric portion eccentric to the shaft, an orbiting scroll operatively connected to the eccentric portion for orbiting, a fixed scroll engaged with the orbiting scroll, and a buffer member interposed between the one end of the shaft and the recess.

  • Patent number: 11073152
    Abstract: Disclosed herein may be a compressor. The compressor may include: a casing; a compression unit configured to suck refrigerant from a suction space of the casing, compress the sucked refrigerant, and discharge the compressed refrigerant to a discharge space of the casing; an oil recovery passage configured to recover oil separated from refrigerant in the discharge space to the suction space; and a reducer inserted into the oil recovery passage to reduce a pressure of oil passing through the oil recovery passage. The reducer may include a deformation preventing unit configured to prevent the reducer from being damaged when the reducer is inserted into the oil recovery passage. Therefore, the reducer may be prevented from being damaged when the reducer is inserted into the oil recovery passage. The costs required to prevent the reducer from being damaged, check the conditions of the reducer, and repair reducer may be reduced.
