Patent number: 5505596Abstract: A scroll type compressor which includes a compression unit, a crankshaft having an oil passage therein, and an electric motor stator having an oil return hole. An oil pump feeds oil into the oil passage of the crankshaft, and an oil drain tube receives return oil from the compression unit and feeds the oil to the oil return hole of the electric motor stator. The drain oil tube advantageously includes an upper nonflexible drain opening which receives oil from the compression unit. The oil then passes through a nonflexible portion which includes a bend or bent portion, and then to a flexible portion which extends from the elbow into the oil return hole of the electric motor stator.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 1995Date of Patent: April 9, 1996Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toshiyuki Nakamura, Takashi Yamamoto, Hiroshi Ogawa, Norihide Kobayashi, Fumiaki Sano, Masahiko Oide, Katsuyoshi Wada, Minoru Ishii

Patent number: 5445507Abstract: A scroll type compressor which includes a spacer between the fixed scroll base plate and the frame, with the spacer disposed about the orbiting scroll. The spacer is coupled to the fixed scroll and frame, and can be coupled to a center shell of the compressor, for example, by a shrinkage fit. Further, one or more bolts extend from the fixed scroll base plate through the spacer and into the frame. In addition, one or more bolts can be provided which extend from the spacer to the frame to provide for positioning of the spacer with respect to the frame.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1994Date of Patent: August 29, 1995Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toshiyuki Nakamura, Takashi Yamamoto, Hiroshi Ogawa, Norihide Kobayashi, Fumiaki Sano, Masahiko Oide, Katsuyoshi Wada, Minoru Ishii

Patent number: 5407334Abstract: A scroll type compressor having a main frame, a sub frame and a crankshaft rotatably mounted in the main frame and the sub frame via a main frame bushing and a sub frame bushing, further includes a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll cooperable with the fixed scroll to compress gas, the orbiting scroll being drivingly mounted on the eccentric shaft portion. A barrel shaped band portion faces the crankshaft and presents a convex surface in at least one of a respective force direction of a compressive load generated in a compression chamber formed between the orbiting scroll and the fixed scroll, and a reactive force direction of a centrifugal load generated by a revolution movement of the orbiting scroll and rotary movements of upper and lower balance weights. The barrel shaped band portion is formed on the sub frame bushing.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1993Date of Patent: April 18, 1995Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Fumiaki Sano, Masahiko Oide, Toshiyuki Nakamura, Hiroshi Ogawa, Norihide Kobayashi, Yoshinori Shirafuji, Takashi Yamamoto, Keiji Sakaino

Patent number: 5328342Abstract: A scroll compressor features a pair of a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll for forming a compression chamber; an orbiting bearing provided on the counter-compression chamber side of the orbiting scroll; a slider fitted to a slider fitting shaft at one end of a main shaft in such a way that the slider is slidable within a surface perpendicular to the axis of the main shaft, the slider being fitted in the orbiting bearing, a sliding direction of the slider is inclined toward the eccentric direction of the orbiting scroll by a predetermined amount in the rotational direction of the main shaft, in which a recess is provided on the groove end side in the eccentric direction of the slider. Further an elastic member is inserted in the recess between the groove end side in the eccentric direction and the slider fitting shaft while both ends of the plate are supported with respect to the recess.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 1993Date of Patent: July 12, 1994Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Minoru Ishii, Masahiko Oide, Masahiro Sugihara, Masaaki Sugawa

Patent number: 4730375Abstract: A scroll-type apparatus having an improved radial seal and a method for the assembly thereof is disclosed. The spiral wrap of a moving scroll and a stationary scroll are provided with gap adjusting means for providing a gap of a desired size between the top surface of the spiral wrap of each scroll and the top surface of the base plate of the opposing scroll. The gap adjustment means comprises a spiral-shaped elastic element which fits into a groove formed in the top surface of a spiral wrap or on top of a protrusion formed on the top surface of the spiral wrap, to form a nonpressurized seal. The elastic element is supported by the spiral wrap by friction, bonding, or solvent welding.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 1986Date of Patent: March 15, 1988Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toshiyuki Nakamura, Masahiro Sugihara, Tsutomu Inaba, Masahiko Oide, Tadashi Kimura, Norihide Kobayashi
