Patents by Inventor Wataru IWATAKE

Wataru IWATAKE has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11248604
    Abstract: In a scroll compressor, a first flow passage is formed in a fixed base plate and a frame to supply oil separated by an oil separating mechanism provided in a sealed container to an oil sump at the bottom of the sealed container. In the fixed base plate, a second flow passage is formed to supply the oil separated by the oil separating mechanism into a compression mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11231035
    Abstract: A scroll compressor in which refrigerant gas is sucked into a hermetic container and is then compressed in a compression chamber. The scroll compressor includes an orbiting scroll including a second end plate having a second surface. The second end plate has an annular groove having an opening that opens into the second surface facing a frame and serving as a back-pressure chamber with the opening being closed by the frame, a gas communication path through which the groove communicates with the compression chamber in which the refrigerant gas is being compressed, and a first oil supply passage having a first opening that opens into at least one of a region inside the groove and a region outside the groove in the second surface and through which the refrigerating machine oil is supplied to a gap between the second surface and the frame.

  • Patent number: 11053939
    Abstract: A first injection port is open to a suction chamber of a plurality of chambers at some rotation phases, and is located within an angular range defined by a line connecting a winding-end contact point of an orbiting scroll at a compression start phase with a base circle center of a fixed scroll and one of two lines tangent to a winding-end point locus of a tip seal at a tooth tip of a spiral body of the orbiting scroll and passing through a base circle center of the orbiting scroll, the one line of the two tangent lines being closer to the winding-end contact point. The first injection port does not interfere with the tip seal at the tooth tip of the spiral body of the orbiting scroll.

  • Patent number: 10890184
    Abstract: An object is to obtain a scroll compressor that can reduce an outflow of injection refrigerant into an oil sump, reduce degradation of reliability associated with a decrease in viscosity of refrigerating machine oil stored in the oil sump, and reduce degradation of performance caused by compression of dead volume, and thereby achieve high efficiency, and to also obtain a refrigeration cycle apparatus. An injection port opens only to a suction chamber and is provided in a baseplate of a fixed scroll. In all phases of rotation of a rotation shaft, the injection port is located on an inner side of an outer edge of a structure unit that is configured by meshing a spiral body of the fixed scroll and a spiral body of an orbiting scroll with each other.
