Provided are a scroll compressor, a refrigeration device, and a vehicle. In the scroll compressor, an oil discharging hole of an oil separation structure and an oil storage tank are connected to each other by an oil outlet channel disposed in a housing, and an oil outlet of the oil outlet channel is located above an oil inlet. The oil outlet channel can guide a refrigeration oil discharged from the oil discharging hole to flow into the oil storage tank. After passing through the oil outlet channel, a flow rate and a pressure of the refrigeration oil decrease, and thus an impact of the refrigeration oil on the remaining refrigeration oil in the oil storage tank is reduced when discharged from the oil outlet. Therefore, the refrigeration oil within the oil storage tank remains stable and can always immerse an oil return hole of the oil storage tank.

A thrust plate for use in a scroll compressor is described. The thrust plate comprises a disk-shaped body defining a plane and having a first side and a second side, wherein the second side opposes the first side, at least one protrusion extending from the first side, and at least one recess located at the second side, wherein the at least one protrusion and the at least one recess overlap at least partially in a direction perpendicular to the plane. Further, a system is described, wherein the system comprises a thrust plate with at least one protrusion and an orbiting scroll plate with at least one recess, wherein the at least one protrusion and the at least one recess overlap. Also, a scroll compressor having either a corresponding thrust plate or a corresponding system is described.

A scroll plate for use in a scroll compressor is described. The scroll plate comprises a base plate having a first side and a second side, wherein the second side opposes the first side, and a spiral wrap formed on the first side of the base plate, wherein the base plate comprises one or more recesses and wherein an insulating material is located in at least one of the one or more recesses. Further, a scroll compressor having a corresponding scroll plate is described.

A scroll compressor has a drive shaft which drives a scroll compression mechanism housed in a housing and a drive shaft support member which supports the drive shaft. The drive shaft support member includes a plate portion having a predetermined thickness in an axial direction of the drive shaft. One side end surface of the plate portion has thereon a sliding support surface which supports the sliding movement of an orbiting scroll. Another side end surface of the plate portion has formed thereon a protruding portion which, protruding toward the other side in the axial direction, is fitted onto an inner peripheral surface of the housing. The protruding portion is interference fitted onto the inner peripheral surface of the housing, and thereby the drive shaft support member is fixed to the housing.

A lubricating oil supply apparatus having a structure in which a valve is forced in a direction for opening a bypass hole by a centrifugal force, and a spring presses the valve in a direction in which the valve closes the bypass hole. When the above-described structure is applied to an oil pump in which an oil (lubricating oil) supply amount increases in proportion to an operation speed, it is possible to secure a sufficient oil (lubricating oil) supply amount in a low speed operation mode, and prevent oil from being supplied more than necessary in a high speed operation mode.

A tip seal 1 for a scroll compressor capable of reducing a frictional force between scroll members and the tip seal where the tip seal 1 has a spiral shape for sealing a compression chamber formed between a fixed scroll and a movable scroll in a scroll compressor provided with the fixed scroll. The movable scroll having a plurality of concave parts 4 being formed by partially notching a sliding surface 5 on the scroll members, the concave parts 4 being arranged on at least one of a spiral inner peripheral surface 1b or a spiral outer peripheral surface 1a. Each of the concave parts 4 being open to the inner peripheral surface 1b or the outer peripheral surface 1a.

The present disclosure provides an electric compressor comprising a main housing, a motor part disposed in the main housing and comprising a stator comprising a rotor accommodating portion and a rotor rotatably disposed in the rotor accommodating portion, a compression part rotatably connected to the motor part, and an inverter part electrically connected to the motor part. The motor part is disposed in a motor room formed inside the main housing, the stator comprises a plurality of insulating protrusions protruding from an outer circumferential surface of the stator, and the plurality of insulating protrusions is configured to be brought into contact with an inner circumferential surface of the motor room.

An electric compressor, an inverter assembly jig and an inverter manufacturing method, an inverter of the compressor includes a frame coupled to a circuit board, the frame includes a base plate opposite the circuit board, fixing means protruding from the base plate and supporting an outer periphery of the circuit board, and a through-hole formed at a position corresponding to the fixing means, the inverter assembly jig includes an expansion pin inserted into the through-hole, and an expansion pin actuation mechanism moving the expansion pin closer to and away from the fixing means, the inverter method includes inserting the expansion pin into the through-hole, manipulating the expansion pin actuation mechanism to deform the fixing means, seating the circuit board on the base plate, and manipulating the expansion pin actuation mechanism so that the fixing means is restored and coupled to the circuit board.

A compressor includes a shell, a bearing housing, an orbiting scroll, a non-orbiting scroll and a spacer. The bearing housing includes a central body and a plurality of arms extending radially outwardly from the central body. Each of the arms has a first aperture. The non-orbiting scroll is meshingly engaged with the orbiting scroll and includes a plurality of second apertures. Each second aperture receives a bushing defining a first longitudinal axis and a fastener defining a second longitudinal axis. The fastener extends through the bushing and into a corresponding one of the first apertures in the bearing housing. The spacer is disposed between the bushing and the fastener of each second aperture and is configured to engage one of the bushing and the fastener to restrict radial misalignment between the first longitudinal axis of the bushing and the second longitudinal axis of the fastener.
