A scroll compressor, and more particularly, to a scroll compressor including a communication groove which may decrease discharge resistance is provided. The scroll compressor may include a fixed scroll having a fixed end plate and a fixed wrap, and an orbiting scroll configured to perform an orbiting movement about the fixed scroll and having an orbiting end plate and an orbiting wrap. A communication groove in the form of a recessed groove may be formed in an inner surface of the orbiting end plate, and a refrigerant may flow through the communication groove according to a state in which the fixed wrap overlaps the communication groove such that there is an effect in that an opening efficiency of a discharge hole is improved at an initial stage of discharge.

The scroll-type compressor comprises a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll engaged with each other; a back pressure control valve 50 inserted from the large-diameter side of the stepped-shaped pressure release passage L4 which communicates between a suction chamber H1 and a back pressure chamber H3 which applies a back pressure for pressing the orbiting scroll against the fixed scroll. The scroll-type compressor further comprises an O-ring 60 fitted in a circumferential groove 53a formed in the outer peripheral surface of the valve 50, and a ring member 61 press-fitted into the large-diameter side of the pressure release passage L4, and holds the valve 50 between the ring member 61 and the stepped portion. Then, the compressive stress is unlikely to be applied to the valve 50, and the deformation of the valve 50 is reduced to prevent the reduction in the control accuracy of the back pressure.

A scroll fluid machine that attenuates the bending stress applied to the base of a wall body having an inclined section. The scroll fluid machine is provided with a wall body inclined section in which the distance between the facing surfaces of an end plate of a fixed scroll and an end plate of a rotating scroll that face each other continuously decreases from the outer circumferential side toward the inner circumferential side. A mesh clearance that is a gap between wall bodies formed when the wall bodies mesh with each other is larger on the outer circumferential side of the inclined section than on the inner circumferential side of the inclined section. The mesh clearance is made larger by drawing the wall surface of a wall body further back toward the central side of the wall body in the thickness direction than the original wall surface profile thereof.

A housing of a scroll type expansion machine includes: a suction port formed at a position on the opposite side to a drive shaft with a fixed scroll interposed therebetween; a discharge port formed on the side of a drive-side bearing closer to the tip end of the drive shaft; a low pressure chamber formed on the outer side of an orbiting-side scroll portion when viewed from the axial direction of the drive shaft; and a tip end-side low-pressure space being a space in which a sealing member is disposed, and has: a partition wall partitioning the tip end-side low-pressure space and the low-pressure chamber from each other; and a communication space communicating the tip end-side low-pressure space with the low-pressure chamber.

A low cost scroll device and methods of manufacturing the same are described. The scroll device includes, for example, a drive pin hole and bearing bores machined into a scroll of the scroll device from the same side as the involute of the scroll; idler shaft assemblies with no more than one bearing in the orbiting scroll for mechanically coupling the orbiting scroll to the fixed scroll; and an epoxy coating applied using a process that requires assembly of the scroll device only once.

In order to optimise a compressor, including a compressor housing, a scroll compressor unit that is arranged in the compressor housing and has a first compressor body and a second compressor body that is movable in relation to the first compressor body, an axial guide that supports the movable compressor body to prevent movements in the direction parallel to the centre axis of the stationary compressor body and, in the event of movements, guides it in the direction transverse to the centre axis, parallel to a plane perpendicular to the centre axis, an eccentric drive for the scroll compressor unit, wherein the eccentric drive has an entrainer that is driven by the drive motor, that revolves on a path about the centre axis and that, for its part, cooperates rotatably with an entrainer receptacle in the second compressor body, and a coupling that prevents the second compressor body from rotating freely, it is proposed that the axial guide should have a carrier element, which serves as a base for supporting a compressor body base, which carries the scroll vane, of the second compressor body against an axial support face, that the axial support face should be arranged radially outward of the entrainer, and that the coupling that prevents free rotation should have at least two coupling element sets that, for their part, include at least two coupling elements, and that the coupling element sets should be arranged radially outward of the axial support face.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a scroll fluid machine configured so that, during maintenance, grease can be easily supplied to a bearing regardless of an installation environment, thereby improving work efficiency. The present invention provides a scroll fluid machine characterized by comprising: a stationary scroll obtained by forming a wrap section on an end plate; an orbiting scroll obtained by forming a wrap section on an end plate such that the wrap section faces the wrap section of the stationary scroll; a drive shaft for driving the orbiting scroll; an orbiting bearing for supporting the drive shaft relative to the orbiting scroll; and a plurality of pouring openings for pouring a lubricant into the orbiting bearing from the outside.

A scroll compressor includes fixed and orbiting scrolls, and satisfies at least one of a first condition and a second condition. In the first condition, a first gap between a distal end of the first wrap and the second base changes heading from an outer peripheral side of the first wrap to an inner peripheral side. In the second condition, a second gap between a distal end of the second wrap and the first base changes heading from an outer peripheral side of the second wrap to an inner peripheral side. A rate of change in the first gap in one area is greater than a rate of change in the first gap in another area. A rate of change in the second gap in one area is greater than a rate of change in the second gap in another area.

A pin-ring mechanism that transmits driving force to cause a driving-side scroll member and a driven-side scroll member to perform rotational movement in a same direction at a same angular velocity is provided. A driving-side end plate includes a ring member installation hole into which a ring member is inserted and installed. The ring member installation hole includes a non-wall-side hole part and a wall-side hole part. The non-wall-side hole part is formed from a non-wall-side surface and has a diameter corresponding to an outer diameter of the ring member. The wall-side hole part is formed from a wall-side surface and has a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the ring member.
