  • Publication number: 20020097929
    Abstract: Disclosed is a turbo compressor. The turbo compressor comprising a motor having a stator with a rotor which rotates in the inside of the stator and a rotation shaft which is press-fitted into the rotor and integrally rotated with the rotor, a bearing means for supporting the rotation shaft of the motor, at least one impeller attached to the rotation shaft of the motor and rotated therewith and a foil bearing including a plurality of foils which one ends thereof are respectively fitted into a multitude of engaging grooves defied on a circumferential inner surface of the stator, and the other ends thereof make contact with a circumferential outer surface of the rotor.

  • Publication number: 20020037215
    Abstract: Disclosed is a centrifugal compressor structure including impellers, each of the impellers including a hub coupled to a drive shaft, a plurality of blades provided at a front surface of the hub and adapted to compress an external fluid while forcing the fluid to flow from an upstream end of the hub to a downstream end of the hub, and a plurality of uniformly-shaped pressure attenuating grooves provided at an outer peripheral edge of the hub and adapted to reduce an axial load applied to the impeller. The formation of the pressure attenuating grooves are carried out without any variation in the size and length of each blade serving as important factors for adjusting the fluid compression degree of the impeller, so that thrust bearings adapted to support an axial load are effectively protected, thereby eliminating problems resulting from the thrust bearings.

  • Patent number: 6155802
    Abstract: A turbo compressor is disclosed. The compressor includes a hermetically sealed shell, a motor chamber formed at a center portion of the shell, a driving motor installed in the motor chamber, a driving shaft engaged with the driving motor having its one end inserted into a first compression chamber and its other end inserted into a second compression chamber with said first and second compression chambers being formed at both sides of the shell, first and second impellers disposed in the first and second compression chambers in a face-to-face form and rotatably engaged with both ends of the driving shaft, and a gas flow path through which a refrigerant gas is sucked for thereby first compressing the gas in the first compression chamber and discharging to the second compression chamber for thereby implementing a small size compressor, decreasing the number of parts and increasing a compression efficiency.

  • Patent number: 6009722
    Abstract: A motor cooling structure for a turbo compressor is disclosed. The structure includes a refrigerant suction tube communicating with one lateral wall of the sealed container and extended from the evaporator, a first refrigerant flow tube communicating with another lateral wall of the sealed container, with the first refrigerant flow tube communicating with the first compression chamber, a second refrigerant flow tube through which the first compression chamber communicates with the second compression chamber, and a refrigerant discharge tube communicating with the second compression chamber communicating with a condenser, for thereby enhancing a cooling efficiency of the driving motor by directly introducing a low temperature refrigerant from an evaporator into a motor chamber.

  • Patent number: 5975786
    Abstract: A hoist swivel shackle assembly used with others to hoist heavy objects such as dies and molds. The shackle includes a "U" shaped shackle member pivotal on a swivel body which is rotatable about an orthogonal axis on a base. Long term distortion of the shackle member is minimized by flanges on the ends of the legs of the shackle that slidably engage side bosses on the swivel body to absorb outward loading on the shackle. The shackle is pivoted to the swivel body member by a pair of pins with annular recesses, fixed in a pair diametrally opposite pin receiving bores in the swivel body member. These pins are held in the swivel body member by pressing a softened material into threaded bosses in the swivel body forcing it around the pins and into their recesses. Overloading the swivel shackle assemblies is minimized by an indicator that tells the operator when he has exceeded the safety angle of the shackle member.
