Abstract:
A scroll-type compressor includes a fixed and an orbiting scroll each having an end plate. A ball coupling means preventing the orbiting scroll from rotating, includes a first race and a second race and a plurality of balls. The balls are engaged between ball rolling grooves on the first race and ball rolling grooves on the second race. Each of an interior circular portion and an exterior circular portion of the first race and the second race is connected to the orbiting scroll and the front housing. Each of a clearance is created between the first race and the orbiting scroll, and between the second race and the front housing. The structure for the scroll-type compressor according to this invention may reduce the number of parts compared to known scroll-type compressor, and may maintain stability of an orbital motion of an orbiting scroll, when thrust load is high.
Abstract:
In a scroll compressor provided with a fixed scroll member (4) and a movable scroll member (3) which define a plurality of compression spaces (6) therebetween in cooperation with each other, a hole (32) is formed to the fixed scroll member to be communicable with adjacent ones of the compression spaces. The adjacent compression spaces are different from each other in pressure when the scroll compressor is driven. A piston valve (33) is disposed in the hole and controls communication between the adjacent compression space through the hole. The compression spaces are movable with volumes reduced by movement of the movable scroll member.

In a scroll compressor in which a movable scroll member (4) is eccentrically spaced from a fixed scroll member (5) and rotatably holds an eccentric bush (3) having a bush hole (30) inserted with a crank pin (110) of a crank shaft (10), the eccentric bush is movable in a radial direction of the crank pin and is guided by a guide pin (11) fixed to the eccentric bush. A pin hole (1110) is formed to penetrate the crank pin in the radial direction. The guide pin extends through the pin hole in the radial direction. Movement of the eccentric bush is guided with the guide pin being cooperated with the pin hole.
Abstract:
A motor driven compressor has a motor and a compressing mechanism connected to the motor through a rotary shaft, which is located within a housing, and an offset of phase is set between a stator and a rotor. The rotor is mounted to the rotary shaft, allowing the rotor to rotate so that it may be magnetized. Further, the motor driven compressor has a driving member driven together with the rotary shaft, a communication gas hole formed within the housing and extending from a suction port to a discharge hole, and a mark positioned along a radial axis on a first end surface of the driving member. The mark is used for setting the offset of phase between the stator and the rotor on the basis of a mark, by positioning the mark opposite the suction port. Accordingly, the motor driven compressor has a structure, which allows the rotor to be readily magnetized and may reliably set the offset of phase between the rotor and stator for magnetizing the rotor.
Abstract:
A motor-driven compressor is formed integrally with a compression portion and a motor for compressing refrigerant. The motor-driven compressor includes a drive circuit for controlling the driving of the motor. The drive circuit is incorporated into a refrigerant suction side portion of the motor-driven compressor. The motor-driven compressor may be made small and inexpensively, as well as the total system which includes the drive circuit. The assembly of the system may also be more easily facilitated. Further, electromagnetic radiation from an inverter of the drive circuit may be shielded.
Abstract:
An air conditioning system includes a refrigerant circuit. The refrigerant circuit includes a compressor for receiving a refrigerant gas and for compressing the refrigerant gas, and a condenser for condensing a portion of the compressed refrigerant gas into a liquid refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit also includes an expansion valve for reducing a pressure of the condensed liquid refrigerant, and an evaporator for evaporating the condensed liquid refrigerant. Moreover, the compressor is driven by an electric motor which controls a rotational speed of the compressor via an inverter, and a temperature of the inverter is decreased by the refrigerant circuit. The system also includes an electric circuit for determining whether a temperature of the inverter is greater than a first predetermined temperature, and an electric circuit for controlling a rotational speed of the compressor. Specifically, when the temperature of the inverter is greater than the first predetermined temperature, the electric circuit decreases the rotational speed of the compressor.

There is provided a scroll fluid machine in which sealability is improved by uniforming a deformed shape of a fastened face of a spindle frame with respect to a fixed scroll, and compression performance is improved. The machine is characterized by comprising a scroll unit disposed in a container, a spindle frame that is interfitted in the container, fastened to the fixed scroll by fastening means at an outer circumferential portion, and houses the movable scroll in a space created between the spindle frame and the fixed scroll, a refrigerant path that is formed in the outer circumferential portion to penetrate the fixed scroll and the spindle frame in an axial direction to open in a rear face of the spindle frame, and guides a high-pressure refrigerant compressed and discharged by the scroll unit to the rear face side of the spindle frame, and a countersunk section that is formed in an opening rim of the refrigerant path of the spindle frame.
Abstract:
In a scroll type compressor in which a compression mechanism compresses a gaseous fluid with moving the gaseous fluid along a spiral path to produce a compressed gas, an escaping path is provided for escaping the compressed gas from the compression mechanism at an intermediate portion of the spiral path. A pressure transmission path transmits pressure of the compressed gas to a valve mechanism which is for controlling an open and an close of the escaping path. The pressure transmission path has a delay mechanism for delaying transmission of a change of the pressure to the valve mechanism.
Abstract:
A scroll-type variable displacement compressor for use in an air conditioning system of a vehicle has a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll with a lowered minimum operating capacity. A cylinder is formed within an end plate of the fixed scroll and accommodates a capacity control mechanism and a plurality of pairs of bypass holes which penetrate the end plate of the fixed scroll and the cylinder perpendicularly. Via one of a pair of bypass holes, the cylinder communicates with a compression chamber enclosed by the orbiting scroll and the fixed scroll, and via the other of the pair of bypass holes, the cylinder communicates with a low pressure chamber provided within rear portions of a compressor housing. One portion of the low pressure chamber is always open to the suction chamber. The communication between the cylinder and the low pressure chamber is controlled by the position of a piston slidably accommodated within the cylinder. When the thermal load for the air conditioning system is low, the piston retreats to the recessed position of the cylinder, opening the pairs of bypass holes. By providing the low pressure chamber, an extra branch path for returning refrigerant gas is formed, in addition to the conventional returning path. Thus, pressure loss from the compression chamber through the suction chamber is effectively reduced. As a result, the capacity control mechanism of the present invention increases the feed back of refrigerant gas from the compression chamber to the suction chamber. Thus, the capacity control mechanism of the present invention lowers the minimum operating capacity more than that of a conventional device, without any undesired increase in the size or weight of the compressor.
