The male rotor and the female rotor have helically extending lobes and intermediate grooves configured to intermesh with one another. Each groove of the female rotor has a first flank including at least three concave sections. A first section includes or is disposed immediately adjacent the radially innermost point of the groove. A second section is shaped as a circular arc with a radius having its center located outside the pitch circle. A third section is shaped as a circular arc with a radius having its center located outside the pitch circle. The radius of the third section is greater than the radius of the second section, which is greater than the radial distance between a pitch circle of the female rotor and the radially innermost point of the groove.

A rotary cylinder piston compressor pump is provided, including a rotating shaft (2), a piston (3) and a cylinder (4). A rotating shaft hole (21) is provided in the rotating shaft (2). An oil guiding channel communicated with the rotating shaft hole (21) is provided in the cylinder (4). A recess (45) is formed in the inner end face of the cylinder (4). An oil path sealed relative to a compression cavity of the cylinder (4) is formed between the recess (45) and the piston (3). The oil path is communicated with an oil path between the piston (3) and the rotating shaft (2) and is communicated with the oil guiding channel by means of an oil returning channel. Also provided is a compressor including the compressor pump.

The first piston member extends across the first chamber. The rotor and first piston member are rotatable around the first rotational axis, and the rotor is pivotable about the second rotational axis to permit a relative pivoting motion between the rotor and the first piston member linked to the rotor rotating about the first rotational axis.

A scroll compressor according to the present invention includes a casing, an orbiting member provided within the casing and performing an orbiting motion, a non-orbiting member forming a compression chamber together with the orbiting member, the compression chamber having a suction chamber, an intermediate pressure chamber and a discharge chamber, a communication passage configured to bypass a refrigerant of the compression chamber into the casing, an opening/closing valve assembly configured to open and close the communication passage, and a switching valve assembly configured to operate the opening/closing valve assembly, the switching valve assembly being provided outside the casing and connected to the opening/closing valve assembly, whereby an installation of the bypass hole can result in prevention of over-compression and an installation of a control valve for varying a capacity outside the casing can result in reduction of costs for the control valve.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a scroll fluid machine, the reliability of which is ensured and which can be manufactured with high productivity. The present invention provides a scroll fluid machine comprising: a stationary scroll having a spiral wrap upstanding therefrom; an orbiting scroll provided facing the stationary scroll and orbiting; a casing provided outside the orbiting scroll; a drive shaft for causing the orbiting scroll to orbit; an orbiting bearing for transmitting the rotational movement of the drive shaft to the orbiting scroll; and a plurality of rotation prevention mechanisms for preventing the orbiting scroll from rotating. The scroll fluid machine is characterized in that: the rotation prevention mechanisms have crankshafts and also have crank bearings for supporting the crankshafts; and the gap between each of the crankshafts and the corresponding one of the crank bearings is set to be greater than the gap between the drive shaft and the orbiting bearing.

A rotary piston and cylinder device having a rotor, a stator and a shutter disc, the rotor including a piston which extends from the rotor into the cylinder space, the rotor and the stator together defining the cylinder space, the shutter disc passing through the cylinder space and forming a partition, and the disc having a slot which allows passage of the piston, the shutter disc having a circumferential surface that forms a seal with the rotor, the circumferential surface defining at least one close running line with the rotor, and the at least one close-running line offset from a rotor plane which lies on a radius of the rotor and which includes the axis of rotation of the rotor.

The disclosure provides a gear pump rotor assembly that includes a rotor body, a rotor head having a plurality of gear teeth and being connected to the rotor body, at least one connector extending between the rotor body and the rotor head, at least one radial deformation control member that extends into at least one gear tooth of the rotor head and reduces the radial deformation of the rotor head relative to the rotor body when a change in temperature causes radial deformation of the rotor body and rotor head.

A fuel pump includes: an outer gear; an inner gear that is meshed with the outer gear and includes a receiving hole; a rotatable shaft; a contact portion that is formed to be contactable with the receiving hole; and a pump housing that rotatably receives the outer gear and the inner gear and includes a first housing component and a second housing component, between which the inner gear is held in the axial direction. At least one of the receiving hole and the contact portion includes a tilt surface, which is tilted relative to the axis direction. When the rotatable shaft is rotated to a drive rotation side, the receiving hole contacts the contact portion through the tilt surface, so that the receiving hole is urged in a circumferential direction and is also urged toward the first housing component in the axial direction.

A helical compressor consisting of a casing with at least one fixed spiral; a rotor that has been placed in the casing and has at least one spiral that can be rotated within the casing; a crankshaft that has a main spindle that is mounted on bearings within the casing and an auxiliary spindle that is eccentrically positioned with respect to the geometric axis of the main spindle.
