  • Publication number: 20200025197
    Abstract: Scroll compressor includes a shaft rotatably supported to a casing; an eccentric bush having a recess part into which one end portion of the shaft is inserted, an eccentric part eccentric to the shaft, and a balance weight disposed at the opposite side of the eccentric part with respect to the recess part; an orbiting scroll for performing the orbiting motion in interlock with the eccentric part; and a fixed scroll for forming a compression chamber together with the orbiting scroll. 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.

  • Publication number: 20190293072
    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.
