Patent number: 8888475Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided in which the amount of lubricant oil supply is appropriately controlled over a low to high rotational frequency range of the scroll compressor. The scroll compressor has an oil supply unit and an oil supply passage. The oil supply unit includes a small hole with a diameter not exceeding a seal ring width of the sealing part and a groove which are formed on the end plate of the boss portion on the back side of the orbiting scroll. As the orbiting scroll orbitally moves, oil in the high pressure hydraulic chamber pools in the small hole to be discharged, across the seal ring, into the back pressure chamber. The oil supply passage communicates between the high pressure hydraulic chamber and the back pressure chamber.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2010Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Hitachi Appliances, Inc.Inventors: Yuichi Yanagase, Eiji Sato, Isamu Tsubono, Mutsunori Matsunaga, Satoshi Nakamura, Masatsugu Chikano

Publication number: 20130195707Abstract: The invention provides a refrigerant compressor that is capable of preventing seizure or galling at the bearing slide section and has high anti-wear properties. The refrigerant compressor includes a compressor mechanism for compressing a refrigerant. The compressor mechanism includes a fixed scroll 100 and an orbiting scroll 200, and the two scrolls are mutually meshed. The refrigerant compressor also includes a rotary shaft 300 for driving the compressor mechanism. A plain bearing(s) is/are provided either at the joint section between the rotary shaft and the compressor mechanism or at the support section supporting the rotary shaft or at both of the two sections. The plain bearing(s) is/are formed of lead-free resin-impregnated material capable of adsorbing wear particles, and the rotary shaft is formed of iron material. The section of the rotary shaft that slides against the plain bearing(s) is covered with a hard film 1000 of a hardness of 1000 Hv or more.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2011Publication date: August 1, 2013Applicant: Hitachi Appliances, Inc.Inventors: Yuko Kozuma, Mutsunori Matsunaga, Kouiti Imada, Yuichi Yanagase

Publication number: 20120230854Abstract: A scroll compressor with high efficiency is provided according to the present invention. The scroll compressor compresses a refrigerant by meshing of an orbiting scroll and a fixed scroll, wherein the orbiting scroll includes a back pressure hole which intermittently connects a compression chamber and a back pressure chamber per one orbit of the orbiting scroll, and the back pressure hole communicates with the compression chamber and also with the back pressure chamber and shuts off the communication with the back pressure chamber after the communication with the compression chamber is shut off.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2012Publication date: September 13, 2012Applicant: Hitachi Appliances, Inc.Inventors: Masatsugu CHIKANO, Mutsunori Matsunaga, Takeshi Tsuchiya, Eiji Sato, Yuichi Yanagase

Publication number: 20120230853Abstract: In a scroll compressor, it is hard to zone a high pressure chamber and a back pressure chamber which are formed in a back face of an orbiting scroll by a sealing means, increase a feeding amount to the high pressure chamber and the back pressure chamber at a low speed and adjust it at a high speed. A sealing means sealing a high pressure chamber in a center portion of a back face of an orbiting scroll and a back pressure chamber formed by an outer peripheral portion is provided, and a spiral shaped throttle passage is provided between a boss portion in the back face of the orbiting scroll and an outer peripheral surface of an orbiting bearing, thereby constructing an oil feeding route for feeding a lubricating oil to the back pressure chamber from the high pressure chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2012Publication date: September 13, 2012Applicant: Hitachi Appliances, Inc.Inventors: Yuichi YANAGASE, Isamu Tsubono, Eiji Sato, Masatsugu Chikano, Takeshi Tsuchiya, Mutsunori Matsunaga

Patent number: 7758326Abstract: A scroll fluid machine comprises compression chambers defined with an orbiting scroll orbiting relative to a fixed scroll, and a back pressure chamber provided on the face opposite from a wrap of the orbiting scroll. A back pressure port is provided, which is formed in an end-plate of the orbiting scroll and connects from a compression chamber side opening opened to a compression chamber side and to a back pressure chamber side opening opened to a back pressure chamber side. The compression chamber side opening is opened and closed by an end-plate of the fixed scroll according as the orbiting motion of the orbiting scroll to perform connection and blockage of the back pressure port. The flow resistance of fluid flowing in and out between the back pressure chamber and the compression chamber is reduced and the compression efficiency and reliability are improved.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2007Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Hitachi Appliances, Inc.Inventors: Kazuyuki Fujimura, Takeshi Tsuchiya, Yuichi Yanagase, Makoto Aoki, Masashi Miyake, Mutsunori Matsunaga, Satoshi Nakamura, Masaru Ohtahara, Syuuji Hasegawa, Hiroyuki Imamura, Yoshinobu Yosuke, Kenji Tojo
