A rotary compressor is provided that may include a roller slidingly coupled to an eccentric portion of a rotational shaft so as to be moved along an inner circumferential surface of a cylinder by the rotational shaft, and a vane slidingly coupled to the cylinder so as to divide the compression space into a plurality of compression chambers. An oil supply groove may be formed on an outer circumferential surface of the eccentric portion or an inner circumferential surface of the roller that faces the outer circumferential surface of the eccentric portion, and a depth of the oil supply groove may decrease as a distance in a circumferential direction from the second oil supply hole increases. Accordingly, an amount of oil supplied between the eccentric portion and the roller may be increased to thereby reduce friction loss.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a flow control valve, an oil pump assembly having the flow control valve, and a scroll compressor. The flow control valve includes: a valve body having an inlet configured for a fluid to flow into the valve body and an outlet configured for the fluid to flow out of the valve body; a passage provided between the inlet and the outlet and extending in a predetermined direction, an area of a cross section of the passage perpendicular to the predetermined direction being negatively correlated with a distance from the cross section to the inlet; a valve element slidably provided in the passage, a flow area between the valve element and an inner wall of the passage is negatively correlated with the distance from the valve element to the inlet; and an elastic member provided in the valve body to apply an elastic force on the valve element so as to move the valve element in a direction toward the inlet. Thereby, for example, lubrication of the scroll compressor is improved.

A compressor may include a shell assembly, a compression mechanism, a driveshaft, a first bearing, a second bearing, a third bearing, and a surface supporting the third bearing. The compression mechanism may include first and second compression members. The driveshaft may be coupled to the first compression member to rotate the first compression member relative to the second compression member. The first bearing may support the driveshaft for rotation about a first axis. The second bearing may support the driveshaft for rotation about the first axis. The third bearing defines a second axis. The third bearing may support the second compression member for rotation relative to the first compression member. The surface may support the third bearing such that the third bearing is able to roll along the surface to move the second compression member and the second axis in a radial direction relative to the first compression member.

Disclosed is a compressor including a compressing assembly having a decompressing structure to control an amount of oil. The decompressing structure is oriented in parallel with a length direction of the rotation shaft or in a direction toward a discharger from which the refrigerant is discharged.

A vacuuming device comprises a main body, a rotary shaft, a vacuum pump rotor, a motor stator and a motor rotor. An air inlet, an air outlet, an oil storage chamber and a motor chamber are disposed in the main body. The oil storage chamber communicates with the air outlet. The rotary shaft is rotationally connected to the main body. The vacuum pump rotor is fixedly mounted to the rotary shaft and cooperatively forms a stator cavity of the vacuum pump with the inner-wall of the main body. The air inlet and the oil storage chamber communicate with the stator cavity of the vacuum pump respectively. The vacuuming device reduces the cost of manufacturing, optimizes the spatial structure and downsizes the device.

The scroll compressor (1) includes a fixed scroll (7); an orbiting scroll (8); a support arrangement (5) including a thrust bearing surface (9) on which is slidably mounted the orbiting scroll (8); a rotation preventing device configured to prevent rotation of the orbiting scroll (8) with respect to the fixed scroll (7), the rotation preventing device including a plurality of orbital discs (28) respectively rotatably mounted in circular receiving cavities (29) provided on the support arrangement (5), each orbital disc (28) being provided with an outer circumferential bearing surface (31) configured to cooperate with an inner circumferential bearing surface (32) provided on the respective circular receiving cavity (29); and a lubrication system configured to lubricate the inner and outer circumferential bearing surfaces (32, 31) with oil supplied from an oil sump (36), the lubrication system including a plurality of oil reservoirs (43) each arranged in a bottom surface of a respective circular receiving cavity, and a plurality of oil stirring arrangements each configured to stir oil contained in a respective oil reservoir (43).

A scroll compressor includes a discharge port formed at a central portion thereof, a pair of two compression chambers continuously moving toward the discharge port, and a plurality of bypass portions formed at each interval along a movement path of each compression chamber in the both compression chambers. Compression gradients of the both compression chambers are different from each other. 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. The first interval of a second bypass portion belonging to a compression chamber having a relatively larger compression gradient is smaller than the first interval of a first bypass portion belonging to the other compression chamber.

A scroll compressor includes a drive shaft that has a first oil flow passage extending axially on a shaft center of a main shaft and having an inflow hole opening in an upper end surface of an eccentric shaft, and a second oil flow passage extending axially at a periphery of the first oil flow passage and having an annular cross-section. The second oil flow passage forms at least part of an oil supply path in which oil that has been transported by the pump is supplied to at least a sliding portion between a boss portion and the eccentric shaft. A third oil flow passage is formed in which oil that has flowed out from the sliding portion to the chamber is sent to the inflow hole of the first oil flow passage. The first oil flow passage forms at least part of an oil drainage path.

A screw compressor includes plural screw rotors, plural suction-side bearings that each rotatably support the suction side of the plural screw rotors and plural discharge-side bearings that each rotatably support the discharge side of the plural screw rotors, and a casing that houses the plural screw rotors, the plural suction-side bearings, and the plural discharge-side bearings. Each screw rotor includes a lobe section with plural lobes and a suction-side shaft section and a discharge-side shaft section each disposed at both ends of the lobe section. The casing has a housing chamber that houses the lobe sections of the plural screw rotors and a lubrication path in which liquid that lubricates the plural suction-side bearings circulates. In the lubrication path, respective passages to lubricate each of the plural suction-side bearings are connected in series and a most downstream part is connected to the housing chamber.

A compressor is disclosed which can include a first stage and a second stage. In one form the compressor includes contact cooled compressor stages. The compressor can include a rod useful to inject a lubricant for purposes of cooling/lubricating/sealing the rotating components of the compressor. In one form the rod is an elongate rod with openings which permit a lubricant such as oil to be injected. The injected oil can be atomized via the openings. The rod can be positioned in the interstage space between the first and second stages, and can include a variety of openings.
