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.

A scroll compressor prevents shortage of lubrication for sliding portions of a scroll unit. A scroll compressor 10 includes: an oil separator 100 that separates lubricant from the gaseous refrigerant discharged into a discharge chamber H3; a first lubricant chamber H5 that stores the lubricant separated by the oil separator 100; a first lubricant supply passage for supplying the lubricant in the first lubricant chamber H5 to a back pressure chamber H6; and a second lubricant supply passage for supplying the lubricant in the first lubricant chamber to a portion near an outer end portion of a scroll unit 50. The second lubricant supply passage is formed as a passage that allows the lubricant in the first lubricant chamber to flow through a second lubricant chamber H7 disposed above the first lubricant chamber H5 and connected to the first lubricant chamber H5 via an orifice OL3.

A highly reliable horizontal rotary compressor is provided with a sealed housing, an electric motor, a compression mechanism, a frame which divides the inside of the sealed housing into an electric-motor chamber and a compression-mechanism chamber, and a plurality of bolts that fasten the compression mechanism to the frame. The compression mechanism includes a main bearing fasten to the end surface of a cylinder. A bearing contact-surface of the end surface of the cylinder is in contact with the main bearing, is located closer to the electric motor than a frame contact-surface which is in contact with the frame. The surface roughness of the frame contact-surface is greater than the surface roughness of the bearing contact-surface. The contact-surface of the frame is a single continuous flat surface located above the bolt located at the lowest position among the plurality of bolts.

A scroll compressor includes an orbiting bedplate. The orbiting bedplate has: an oil passage through which oil supplied from an oil supply passage flows outward in a radial direction of the orbiting bedplate; a lap-side oil supply hole that causes the oil passage to communicate with a lap-formation surface of the orbiting lap at which the orbiting lap is formed; and a thrust-surface-side oil supply hole that causes the oil passage to communicate with a thrust surface of the orbiting bedplate that is opposite to the lap-formation surface of the orbiting bedplate. In the oil passage, an opening and closing mechanism is provided. The opening and closing mechanism closes the thrust-surface-side oil supply hole when the pressure of oil that is drawn from an oil sump by an oil pump and supplied into the oil passage is low, and opens the thrust-surface-side oil supply hole when the pressure of the oil is high.

A scroll compressor is provided that may include a casing; an electric motor drive having a stator fixed within the casing, and a rotor rotatably provided within the stator; a rotational shaft coupled to the rotor to rotate along with the rotor; a compression device disposed at a lower portion of the electric motor drive to receive a rotational force from the rotational shaft and compress a refrigerant; and an oil storage space located within the casing. A plurality of oil discharge paths to allow oil accumulated at an upper portion thereof to be discharged to the oil storage space may be formed on an outer circumferential surface of the compression device to be separated from each other, and an overall cross-sectional area of the plurality of oil discharge paths may be about 2 to about 12% of an inner diameter cross-sectional area of the casing brought into contact with or separated from an outer circumferential surface of the compression device in the compression device.

Provided is a sliding component capable of stably reducing the frictional resistance of a sliding surface entailing eccentric rotation. A sliding component has an annular shape with high-pressure and low-pressure fluids facing inside and outside of the sliding component and has a sliding surface relatively sliding with eccentric rotation. The sliding surface is provided with a plurality of high-pressure grooves open to a space in which the high-pressure fluid exists and a plurality of low-pressure grooves open to a space in which the low-pressure fluid exists. The high-pressure and low-pressure grooves are arranged in a circumferential direction.

A sliding component has an annular shape with a fluid facing inside and outside of the sliding component and has a sliding surface relatively sliding with eccentric rotation, in which the sliding surface includes a land and a plurality of dynamic pressure generation mechanisms arranged in a circumferential direction, the dynamic pressure generation mechanism includes a shallow groove portion and a deep groove portion, the shallow groove portion communicates with the deep groove portion, and a communication passage providing a communication between the deep groove portion and either an inside space or an outside space of the sliding component is formed in the sliding component.

A scroll electric compressor includes a housing, a rotary shaft, an electric motor, a fixed scroll, an orbiting scroll, a compression chamber, a discharge chamber, and an oil storage chamber. The housing has a discharge housing including an end wall, a first peripheral wall, a stepped portion, and a second peripheral wall. The fixed scroll has a flange in contact with the second peripheral wall. The stepped portion, the second peripheral wall, the flange, the outer peripheral wall cooperate to define an annular space around the fixed scroll. The annular space is in communication with the discharge chamber or the oil storage chamber.

Scroll compressor and a vehicle having the same. The scroll compressor includes: a support and an orbiting scroll assembly, the orbiting scroll assembly being movably provided on the support; a partition structure, provided between the support and the orbiting scroll assembly, a first bearing chamber being formed between the partition structure and the orbiting scroll assembly, a second bearing chamber being formed between the partition structure and the support, the orbiting scroll assembly being provided with a first through hole in communication with the first bearing chamber, and the support being provided with a second through hole in communication with the second bearing chamber; and a first crankshaft), passing through the partition structure, a first communication passage through which the first bearing chamber is in communication with the second bearing chamber is formed between the first crankshaft and the partition structure.
