Abstract: A scroll type fluid machinery has a stationary scroll and revolving scroll with spiral elements set up at end plates thereof. The scrolls respectively, are engaged with each other, and a high pressure fluid chamber is formed on the outside of the end plate of the stationary scroll. A low pressure fluid chamber or an intermediate pressure fluid chamber is formed between the end plate of the stationary scroll and the high pressure fluid chamber. As a result, the pressure of a low pressure fluid or an intermediate pressure fluid acts on the outside of the end plate of the stationary scroll. Accordingly, deformation of the end plate is prevented or reduced, and reliability of the fluid machinery may be improved.

Abstract: A scroll type fluid machinery with spiral wraps set up on inner surfaces of end plates, respectively. The spiral wraps are engaged with each other at a predetermined angle dislocation and are housed in a housing with an opening in one end of a cup-shaped casing. This opening is blocked with a front case. The stationary scroll is fixed to the cup-shaped casing, and the revolving scroll is made to revolve in a solar motion by a revolution drive mechanism while checking the rotation on its axis by a mechanism for checking rotation on its axis. In an assembling method thereof, positioning portions are engaged with a positioning jig provided in the stationary scroll and the cup-shaped casing, respectively, and the positioning portions are utilized. With this machinery and method, the number of parts, working time and assembly time are reduced and the manufacturing cost may be cut down.

Abstract: A drive controller for a stepping motor having a plurality of excitation phases which designate stepping positions thereof, includes a motor driver for sequentially exciting the excitation phases to rotate the stepping motor in increments of one step angle, and a control section for controlling the motor driver to set an excitation interval. When the control section sets the excitation interval to be shorter than an interval of a stepping range in which the stepping motor temporarily stops for each increment, the stepping motor is driven in a slewing mode in which the rotation of the stepping motor is continued without stopping for each increment.

Abstract: A scroll type fluid machinery has a stationary scroll and a revolving scroll in which spiral wraps are set up at end plates, and are engaged with each other. A drive bushing is fitted rotatably into a boss projected at the central part of the outer surface of the end plate of the revolving scroll, and a drive pin projecting from the rotary shaft is fitted slidably into a slide hole bored in the drive bushing. A counter weight which generates a centrifugal force having an opposite direction to a centrifugal force acting on the revolving scroll at the time of revolving motion in a solar motion thereof is provided on the drive bushing. Further, the contact pressure between the wrap of the revolving scroll and the wrap of the stationary scroll is prevented from becoming excessive even at the time of high speed rotation of the rotary shaft.

A capacity control block is contained inside a bypass passage which has the bypass ports communicate with a suction chamber formed in a housing. A valve mechanism which opens and closes the bypass passage is formed separately from the stationary scroll. The capacity control block is engaged with the stationary scroll and installed fixedly in the housing, thereby to control the output capacity of the compressor in a range from 0% to 100%.

Abstract: A scroll type fluid machinery has a stationary scroll and a revolving scroll having spiral wraps set up on inner surfaces of respective end plates in engagement with each other. A drive bushing is inserted rotatably into a boss which is projected at a central part of an outer surface of the end plate of the revolving scroll. An eccentric driving pin of a rotary shaft is fitted slidably into a slide groove bored through the drive bushing. A gap between one end of the slide groove in a direction that the radius of revolution becomes larger and the eccentric driving pin is set to a preset very small distance .delta. (here, .delta. is a value determined based on processing error, deformation due to temperature and pressure and the like of the above-mentioned respective scrolls) when the revolving scroll occupies a position of theoretical radius of revolution thereof.

Abstract: A rotary compressor is disclosed which is equipped with a bypass hole for bypassing a fluid under compression to the intake side and the capacity thereof is controlled through opening and closing of the bypass hole with a piston which is operated via a control valve, whereby the bypass hole is opened at or in the vicinity of a discharge port of the compressor and the capacity of the compressor is made to be controllable in the range of one hundred to substantially zero percent. By the application of such a rotary compressor to the compressor for an air conditioner, capacity control in the range of about zero to 100% of discharge quantity can be accomplished so that it becomes possible to obtain cooling capability which is in response to the heat load.
