Abstract: A scroll compressor has a sealed container inside which a working fluid is sealed; a frame fixed inside the sealed container; a fixed scroll provided with a fixed-side spiral body formed in a spiral shape on a fixed-side base plate fixed inside the sealed container; and a revolving scroll in which a revolving-side spiral body meshing with the fixed-side spiral body is provided on a revolving-side base plate. The frame includes a first welded point at which the frame is fixed by welding to the sealed container, and a revolving-scroll-receiving surface supports a bottom surface of the revolving-side base plate opposite to a surface thereof on which the revolving-side spiral body is provided. A frame outer peripheral groove provided in an outer periphery of the frame faces an inner periphery of the sealed container between the revolving-scroll-receiving surface and the first welded point.

Abstract: An object is to enable suppression of degradation of reliability by supporting a flange portion of a crankshaft with a bearing while downsizing a scroll compressor by reducing the size of the flange portion of the crankshaft. A scroll compressor includes: a fixed scroll fixed to a frame; an orbiting scroll forming a compression chamber by performing an orbital motion with respect to the fixed scroll; an electric motor that drives the orbiting scroll via the crankshaft; and a bearing part provided on the lower side from the flange portion of the crankshaft that rotatably supports a main shaft part of the crankshaft. The scroll compressor furthers has a thrust stopper, provided between the flange portion and the bearing part, in contact with the flange portion on the upper side and in contact with the bearing part on the lower side. Assuming that the outer diameter of the flange portion 12d is ?Dt and the outer diameter of the thrust stopper is ?Ds, ?Dt<?Ds holds.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to improve reliability in a scroll compressor in which a frame is fixed by welding.

Abstract: A production method for making powder cosmetics having improved characteristics. The method includes mixing a powder component and an oil component as a binder using a mixing apparatus. The mixing apparatus is a facing rotor type mixing apparatus having a first rotor with a plurality of blades and a second rotor with a plurality of blades in a mixing chamber. The first rotor and the second rotor face each other and have rotating shafts on the same axis line. In the facing rotor type mixing apparatus, raw materials are fed into an introduction opening on a first rotor side. The raw materials are mixed by rotating the first rotor and the second rotor in the same or opposite directions to each other, and the mixed raw materials are discharged from a discharge opening on a second rotor side.

Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a crankshaft, a suction chamber, a back pressure chamber, a communication path, a back pressure control means, and a base plate. The base plate intermittently connects the communication path by opening and closing an opening on a back pressure chamber side of the communication path. The crankshaft drives an orbiting scroll, and mutually engages a stationary scroll having a whirlpool shape and the orbiting scroll.

Abstract: The inside of a sealed container (50) of a horizontal scroll compressor is partitioned by a partition plate (80) into a space in which a compressor mechanism section and an electric motor are contained and into a discharge space (84) in which a discharge pipe (52) and an oil supply pump (70) are contained. An upper communication path (85) and a path guide member (81) are provided in the upper part of the partition plate, and a refrigerant gas passes through the upper communication path (85). The path guide member is located below the discharge pipe (52), is extended to a position near a side surface of the sealed container, and has a path area greater than the path area of the discharge pipe. The construction causes the refrigerant gas to collide with the side surface of the sealed container, promoting separation of oil, and even if the oil is re-dispersed by a gas flow, the construction reduces flow directly leading to the discharge pipe.

Abstract: A scroll compressor contains a suction chamber and a compression chamber formed between the orbiting scroll and stationary scroll; and the rear surface of the orbiting scroll includes a back pressure chamber to apply a pressing force for pressing the stationary scroll to the orbiting scroll by the pressure higher than the pressure in the suction chamber. The stationary scroll contains the communication paths 200, 201 to connect the suction chamber or the compression chamber and the back pressure chamber; and a back pressure control means for opening and closing the communication paths by way of the pressure differential along the communication paths. The inlet communication path 200 that extends from the back pressure control means to the back pressure chamber includes at least two or more path cross-sectional areas.

Abstract: A vehicle height adjustment device includes a vehicle height adjustment unit that changes the vehicle height at each wheel of the vehicle; a vehicle height sensor that detects the vehicle height at each wheel; a vehicle height control unit that executes the vehicle height control; a pressure sensor that detects the fluid pressure within the vehicle height adjustment unit; a control stop unit that temporarily suspends the execution of the vehicle height control if the detected pressure exceeds a threshold pressure; a road surface estimation unit that estimates the condition of a road surface over which the vehicle travels; and a control recovery unit that cancels the temporary suspension of the vehicle height control and allows the vehicle height adjustment unit to change the vehicle height if the road surface estimation unit estimates that the road surface over which the vehicle is traveling satisfies a predetermined condition.
