A scroll compressor includes a shaft being rotated by a drive source, an eccentric bush including a recess part into which the shaft is inserted and an eccentric part being eccentric to the shaft, an orbiting scroll configured to perform an orbiting motion in interlock with the eccentric part, a fixed scroll tooth-engaged with the orbiting scroll, and a buffer member configured to prevent an outer periphery of the shaft and an inner periphery of the recess part from coming in contact with each other, wherein the buffer member is formed to be able to perform a relative motion with respect to the shaft and the recess part. Accordingly, the scrolls are prevented from being damaged, an impact sound is prevented from being generated, and an increase of an inertial force and an unbalance force of a rotating body is suppressed.

A back pressure chamber forming portion forms a back pressure chamber configured to accumulate a high pressure refrigerant discharged from a working chamber and thereby generate a refrigerant pressure, which urges a movable scroll against a stationary scroll. A balancer is placed at an inside of the back pressure chamber and is configured to be rotated by a rotatable shaft. The back pressure chamber forming portion has a discharge hole that communicates between a radially outer side of the back pressure chamber, which is located radially outward in a radial direction of an axis of the rotatable shaft, and a suction chamber to discharge a liquid phase refrigerant from the back pressure chamber into the suction chamber when the liquid phase refrigerant flows from the working chamber into the back pressure chamber.

A scroll compressor includes a housing, a rotary shaft, a movable scroll, an eccentric shaft, an opposed wall, a looped elastic plate, a looped support portion, an annular protrusion, a back pressure chamber, and a back pressure supplying groove. The distance in the radial direction of the rotary shaft from the rotation axis of the rotary shaft to then outer end of the back pressure supplying groove in the radial direction of the rotary shaft is shorter than or equal to the distance obtained by subtracting the distance in the radial direction of the rotary shaft between the rotation axis of the rotary shaft and the axis of the eccentric shaft from the distance in the radial direction of the rotary shaft from the axis of the eccentric shaft to the part of the protrusion that contacts the elastic plate.

A balancing mechanism for a positive displacement machine, in particular a scroll compressor, wherein the balancing mechanism includes a drive shaft, a first balancing element and a second balancing element. The first balancing element includes a cylindrical hub section and a first force transmission section and is rotatably in contact with the drive shaft via a first axis of rotation. The second balancing element is rotatably in contact with the drive shaft via a second axis of rotation. A center axis S of the drive shaft and a center axis C of the cylindrical hub section are arranged on a first reference line CS, and a center of gravity J of the first balancing element and a center of gravity K of the second balancing element are arranged on a different side of the first reference line CS than a center axis P of the first axis of rotation.

Disclosed herein is a scroll compressor having a shaft balancer capable of attenuating vibration while preventing deformation of the rotary shaft during operation at a high speed.

A scroll compressor includes a base seat portion which is integrally formed with one end surface of a shaft and in which a press-fitting hole exposing a first hole portion is formed. The base seat portion is disposed in a second portion of a penetration portion with a gap interposed between a drive bush body and the base seat portion.

Disclosed herein is a scroll compressor having a shaft balancer capable of attenuating vibration while preventing deformation of the rotary shaft during operation at a high speed.

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).

An orbiting scroll plate driving assembly provided by the present application includes a main shaft (7), a tail driving shaft (6), and an eccentric shaft sleeve (5). The tail driving shaft (6) is eccentrically connected to the main shaft (7), and the eccentric shaft sleeve (5) is rotatably sleeved on the tail driving shaft (6). The orbiting scroll plate driving assembly further includes a limiting portion (14). The limiting portion (14) is disposed on the tail driving shaft (6), and provided with a first limiting portion protrusion (141). The eccentric shaft sleeve (5) is provided with an eccentric shaft sleeve groove (51). The first limiting portion protrusion (141) is correspondingly inserted into the eccentric shaft sleeve groove. A circumferential size of the eccentric shaft sleeve groove (51) is larger than a circumferential size of the first limiting portion protrusion (141). By providing the limiting portion (14) on the tail driving shaft (6), and providing a mortise joint structure between the limiting portion (14) and the eccentric shaft sleeve (5), the circumferential movement and axial movement of the eccentric shaft sleeve (5) can be confined, and the assembly and processing are simple. Further, a scroll compressor is disclosed.

The invention provides a crank sleeve for a scroll pump. The crank sleeve has a longitudinal axis and is configured to provide a radially extending crank offset for imparting an orbital path on an orbital scroll of the scroll pump. The crank sleeve further comprises an integrally formed counterbalance for reducing pump vibration extending radially in a direction substantially opposite to the crank offset.
