Abstract: A fluid compressor includes a closed container having an inlet, a compression mechanism including a compression chamber in which fluid flowing into the closed container through the inlet is compressed, a discharge port through which the fluid compressed in the compression chamber is allowed to flow, a discharge valve opening and closing the discharge port, and a valve retainer limiting an amount of lift of the discharge valve. The discharge valve includes a curved portion whose shape is defined by one or more curvatures. When the discharge port is closed by the discharge valve, the valve retainer and the discharge valve are spaced apart from each other.

Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a crank shaft, an orbiting scroll, and a frame. The crank shaft has a lubricant channel allowing lubricant to flow through the lubricant channel. The orbiting scroll is attached to the crank shaft and includes a base plate that is discoidal. The frame has a thrust surface against which the orbiting scroll slides. The thrust surface has an annular shape and faces an outer circumferential region of one surface of the base plate of the orbiting scroll. The orbiting scroll has an inner channel and a lubricant channel groove. The inner channel allows the lubricant supplied through the crank shaft to flow outward. The lubricant channel groove has an annular shape in the outer circumferential region of the one surface of the base plate facing the thrust surface and allows the lubricant supplied through the inner channel to be supplied to the thrust surface.

Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a slider including a cylindrical portion supported by a rocking bearing provided on an orbiting scroll so that it rotates freely, and a balance weight portion connected to the cylindrical portion. When a direction opposite to an eccentric direction of the orbiting scroll is a counter eccentric direction and a direction of a central axis of the rocking bearing is a Z-axis direction, the balance weight portion includes a main weight portion provided at a position distant from a center of rotation of the slider in the counter eccentric direction, and a counter-weight portion provided at a position spaced away from the orbiting scroll than a position of a center of the rocking bearing in the Z-axis direction and at a position distant from the center of rotation of the slider in the eccentric direction.

Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a crank shaft 6, an orbiting scroll 32, and a second plug part 329. The crank shaft 6 has a lubricant channel 63 which allows lubricant 9 to flow therethrough. The orbiting scroll 32 is attached to the crank shaft 6 and has a second inner channel 327 that allows the lubricant supplied thereto through the crank shaft 6 to outwardly flow therethrough. The second plug part 329 serving as an adjustment part is provided in the second inner channel 327 of the orbiting scroll 32 and adjusts a flow amount of the lubricant 9 flowing through the second inner channel 327.

Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a bush having a shaft part and a balance weight part. The shaft part is disposed between an orbiting bearing that supports an orbiting scroll, and an eccentric pin of a crankshaft. The balance weight part is secured to the outer periphery of the shaft part by shrink-fitting. The shaft part includes: a cylindrical body part which is fitted into the orbiting bearing, and into which the eccentric pin of the crankshaft is inserted; and a cylindrical coupling part which extends outward from an axial end portion of the body part, and to which the balance weight part is joined. The bush satisfies the following requirements: 1.2?D2/D1?1.6, and??(a) 1.0?(D2?D3)/(D4?D2)×E1/E2?3.5,??(b) where D1 is the outer diameter of the body part, D2 is the outer diameter of the coupling part, D3 is the inner diameter of the body part, D4 is the outer diameter of the balance weight part, E1 is the Young's modulus of the shaft part, and E2 is the Young's modulus of the balance weight part.

Abstract: A scroll compressor including an orbiting scroll and a fixed scroll. A compression chamber is formed by combining a fixed-scroll volute of the fixed scroll and an orbiting-scroll volute of the orbiting scroll. Each of sub-discharge ports of the fixed scroll brings any one of a first compression chamber and a second compression chamber of a compression chamber, the first compression chamber being defined by an inward-facing surface of the fixed-scroll volute and an outward-facing surface of the orbiting-scroll volute, the second compression chamber being defined by an outwardfacing surface of the fixed-scroll volute and an inward-facing surface of the orbiting scroll volute, and a discharge side into communication with each other.

Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a compressing mechanism unit including a fixed scroll that is fixedly provided in a shell and an orbiting scroll that moves around the fixed scroll, the compressing mechanism unit compressing fluid; a main shaft including an eccentric shaft portion at one end thereof that transmits a rotational driving force to the orbiting scroll; a slider having a slide groove in which the eccentric shaft portion is slidably fitted; and an orbital bearing provided to the orbiting scroll that rotatably supports the slider. The slider is provided on the inner peripheral side of the orbital bearing when seen in a direction of a center axis of the slider. The center axis of the slider is eccentric in one direction from an axis of rotation of the main shaft and a center of gravity of the slider is eccentric in an opposite direction.

Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a stationary scroll; an orbiting scroll having a pair of first Oldham keyways on one surface thereof, the orbiting scroll defining a compression chamber in combination with the stationary scroll; a frame having a pair of second Oldham keyways and supporting the orbiting scroll; and an Oldham ring for inhibiting rotation of the orbiting scroll, the Oldham ring having a pair of first Oldham keys on one surface thereof and a pair of second Oldham keys on the other surface thereof, the first Oldham keys slidably engaging with the respective first Oldham keyways, the second Oldham keys slidably engaging with the respective second Oldham keyways.

Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a fixed scroll including a spiral unit, an orbiting scroll including a spiral unit and combined with the spiral unit of the fixed scroll to form a compression chamber for compressing refrigerant, a main shaft for transmitting drive power to the orbiting scroll, an electric motor unit configured to rotate the main shaft, and a first balancer for compensating unbalance of the orbiting scroll with respect to a rotation center of the main shaft. The first balancer has an outline in a cylinder shape, and includes a high-density part made of a high-density material, and a low-density part made of a low-density material having a density lower than a density of the high-density material.

Abstract: A multiple image photographing apparatus in which images of different sizes can be formed on a single film sheet. A television monitor is movably mounted in a horizontal direction, while a film holding and conveying mechanism is movably mounted in a vertical direction. The amount of movements of the monitor and the film conveying and holding mechanism are determined in accordance with the selected photographing magnification. An auxiliary lens, which is mounted on a lens holder which moves along with the TV monitor, is selectively movable in and out of the optical path in accordance with the selected photographing magnification.
