Patent number: 11603843Abstract: Disclosed are an oil supplying mechanism, and a horizontal compressor having same. Disclosed is an oil supply mechanism for a horizontal compressor, the horizontal compressor including a housing, a motor, a rotating shaft driven by the motor, and a bearing pedestal supporting the rotating shaft. The oil supply mechanism includes a separating member, the separating member being in the form of a ring having a central hole for allowing the bearing pedestal to pass therethrough, and the separating member being configured to separate the housing into an oil storage chamber and a motor chamber with the motor provided therein. The separating member is constructed to have an annular groove opening into the oil storage chamber. The oil supply mechanism and the horizontal compressor having the oil supply mechanism can reduce or minimize free space in the motor chamber and/or facilitate a quality inspection on the structure of a pump.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2018Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: Emerson Climate Technologies (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sheng Liang, Laurent Grignard

Patent number: 11002275Abstract: A compressor may include a non-orbiting scroll, an orbiting scroll, a driveshaft and an Oldham coupling. The orbiting scroll meshingly engages the non-orbiting scroll. The driveshaft includes a crankpin engaging the orbiting scroll and driving the orbiting scroll in an orbital path relative to the non-orbiting scroll. The Oldham coupling may include an annular body and a plurality of first keys extending from the annular body and slidably received in slots formed in the orbiting scroll. Each of the first keys may include a first post and a first cap attached to the first post. The first posts may be integrally formed with the annular body from a first material. The first caps may be formed from a second material.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2019Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Paul L. Fullenkamp, Roxana E. L. Ruxanda, Eric A. Maurer, Jesús Ángel Nohales Herraiz, Francis Beckers, Vincent Cloosen, Laurent Grignard
