A compressor includes a drive shaft having a main shaft and an eccentric portion, and a compression mechanism having a fitted tubular portion into which a fitted shaft portion of the drive shaft is slidably fitted. The fitted shaft portion has first and second sliding surfaces formed as portions of an outer peripheral surface in the circumferential direction. The second sliding surface has a smaller axial width than the first sliding surface. A gap is adjacent to the second sliding surface into which a lubricating oil flows. An oil retainer is configured as a boundary portion between the first sliding surface and the gap to keep the lubricating oil in the gap from flowing out toward an end surface of the fitted shaft portion. The boundary portion has a central portion that protrudes further toward the first sliding surface than an end of the boundary portion in a lubricating oil flow-out direction.

A scroll compressor includes a refrigerant suction pipe coupled to a discharge cover or a fixed scroll through a casing in a radial direction, a suction passage communicating the refrigerant suction pipe with a compression chamber, and a suction passage opening and closing valve disposed inside the suction passage to be slidable in an axial direction so as to selectively open or close the suction passage. Accordingly, when the compressor is stopped, oil or refrigerant in the casing can be restricted quickly so as not to flow back to the refrigerant suction pipe through a compression unit.

A rotor has at its two axis end portions an upper large-diameter inner circumferential portion and a lower large-diameter inner circumferential portion that have inner diameters larger than the inner diameter of the axially middle portion of the rotor and are offset in the radial direction. A crankshaft has a passageway, which is formed in the crankshaft and allows refrigerant to flow therethrough, and a gas venting hole, which provides communication between the passageway and at least one discharge opening formed in the outer circumferential surface of the crankshaft. The at least one discharge opening is formed at a position facing the inner circumferential surface of the lower large-diameter inner circumferential portion 5b on the compression unit side.

The present invention relates to a scroll compressor having a regulating part, provided in a modular manner outside of a compression part, for determining whether to selectively supply oil from one oil-feeding path to a plurality of regions inside the compression part that compresses a refrigerant.

A scroll compressor is provided that may include a casing having an oil storage space, a suction pipe and a discharge pipe being connected to the casing, a drive motor installed in an inner space of the casing and including a rotational shaft rotated by a generated drive force, a compression unit installed in the inner space of the casing and having a compression chamber operated by the drive motor to compress a refrigerant, an oil separator coupled to the discharge pipe, that receives refrigerant discharged after being compressed by the compression unit, separates oil from the refringent, and supplies the oil to an inside of the casing, and a subframe that rotatably supports the rotational shaft at one side of the rotational shaft. The subframe may be provided with an oil recovery flow path that extends in a radial direction and guides oil to be recovered toward the inside of the casing from the oil separator.

A scroll compressor is provided that may include a casing; a drive motor provided at an inner space of the casing; a rotational shaft coupled to a rotor of the drive motor, and rotated together with the rotor; a frame provided below the drive motor; a fixed scroll provided below the frame, and having a fixed wrap; and an orbiting scroll provided between the frame and the fixed scroll, having an orbiting wrap so as to form a compression chamber including a suction chamber, an intermediate pressure chamber, and a discharge chamber, by being engaged with the fixed wrap. In a state in which a center of the fixed scroll and a center of the orbiting scroll are substantially the same, an interval between the fixed wrap and the orbiting wrap gradually increases towards the suction chamber from the discharge chamber.

A scroll compressor according to the present disclosure includes a fixed scroll, an orbiting scroll forming first and compression chambers with the fixed scroll, first and second compression chamber oil supply holes formed through the orbiting scroll to communicate with the first compression chamber and the second compression chamber, respectively, wherein when a section in which the first compression chamber oil supply hole is opened toward the first compression chamber is a first oil supply section and a section in which the second compression chamber oil supply hole is opened toward the second compression chamber, a non-overlap section between the first oil supply section and the second oil supply section may be longer than an overlap section between the first oil supply section and the second oil supply section, so as to prevent communication between the first and second compression chambers, thereby suppressing leakage between the compression chambers.

A scroll compressor is provided that may include a casing; a drive motor provided at an inner space of the casing; a rotational shaft coupled to a rotor of the drive motor, and rotated together with the rotor; a frame provided below the drive motor; a fixed scroll provided below the frame, and having a fixed wrap; and an orbiting scroll provided between the frame and the fixed scroll, having an orbiting wrap se as to form a compression chamber including a suction chamber, an intermediate pressure chamber, and a discharge chamber, by being engaged with the fixed wrap, and having a rotational shaft coupling portion that couples the rotational shaft thereto in a penetrating manner. In a state in which a center of the fixed scroll and a center of the orbiting scroll are substantially the same, an interval between the fixed wrap and the orbiting wrap gradually increases towards the suction chamber from the discharge chamber.

A scroll compressor is provided that may include a casing configured to contain oil at a lower portion thereof; a drive motor provided at an inner space of the casing; a rotational shaft coupled to a rotor of the drive motor, and having an oil supply passage in order to guide the oil contained in the casing to an upper side; a frame provided below the drive motor; a fixed scroll provided below the frame, arid having a fixed wrap; and an orbiting scroll provided between the frame and the fixed scroll, having an orbiting wrap to form a compression chamber by being engaged with the fixed wrap, and having a rotational shaft coupling portion to couple the rotational shaft thereto in a penetrating manner. One or more oil dimples may be formed at a peripheral end surface positioned between an inner circumferential portion and an outer circumferential portion of the rotational shaft coupling portion. With such a configuration, as oil may be smoothly supplied to an end surface of the orbiting wrap near the rotational shaft coupling portion, abrasion may be prevented.

There is disclosed a scroll compressor according to the present disclosure in which a discharge port is formed at a central portion thereof, and a pair of two compression chambers continuously moving toward the discharge port are formed, and a plurality of bypass portions are formed at each interval along a movement path of etch compression chamber in the both compression chambers, and compression gradients of the both compression chambers are formed to be different from each other, wherein when an interval between a bypass portion closest to the discharge port and another bypass portion adjacent to the bypass portion among the bypass portions of each compression chamber is defined as a first interval, respectively, a first interval of a second bypass portion belonging to a compression chamber having a relatively larger compression gradient is formed to be smaller than that of a first bypass portion belonging to the other compression chamber between the both compressor chambers.
