Disclosed is a trochoid lubricant supply device that is configured to connect to a rotational shaft. A connector of the lubricant supply device is configured to reduce an oil leakage amount of lubricant, and is configured to insert to a lower portion of a rotational shaft. The connector includes: a rotator mounting member inserted into and fixed to the rotator of the lubricant supply device; a penetrating member that penetrates a fixer of the lubricant supply device; an enlarged diameter extending radially outwards from the penetrating member outside the fixer; and a rotational shaft mounting member extending axially in the diameter enlarged member and is fastened to the rotational shaft. Further, the lubricant supply device of the present disclosure can supply the oil regardless of a rotation direction of the rotational shaft by supplying the oil by a space pivoting about the rotational center of the rotator.

A pump includes a pump body. The pump may also include a pump mounting flange configured to mount the pump to an engine flange including four clocked mounting holes. The pump mounting flange may include a first set of four mounting holes corresponding to the four clocked mounting holes in a first orientation. The pump mounting flange may include a second set of four mounting holes corresponding to the four clocked mounting holes in a second orientation.

A pump includes a cam plate, and an input shaft for rotationally driving the cam plate. A pump housing at least partially surrounds the cam plate and defines a cam plate oil reservoir around at least a portion of the cam plate. A bearing support is at least partially disposed within the cam plate oil reservoir. The bearing support defines a bearing oil reservoir at least partially surrounding a portion of the input shaft. At least one passage extends between the bearing oil reservoir and the cam plate oil reservoir. Dynamic motion imparted on oil within the cam plate oil reservoir facilitates migration of oil from the cam plate oil reservoir through a bearing at least partially supported by the bearing support into the bearing oil reservoir and through the at least one passage into the cam plate oil reservoir.

Variable displacement swash plate type compressor includes casing, rotating shaft, swash plate, piston, and inclination adjustment mechanism with first flow path connecting discharge chamber with crankcase and second flow path connecting crankcase with suction chamber to adjust inclination angle of the swash plate. An orifice hole decompressing fluid passing through the second flow path is formed in the second flow path. An orifice control mechanism controlling effective flow cross-sectional area of the orifice hole is formed on the second flow path. The orifice hole and control mechanism are formed to increase differential pressure in the crankcase and suction chamber, the effective flow cross-sectional area increases, and with further differential pressure increase it becomes a second area larger than zero and less than the first area. Achieved is rapid control of refrigerant discharge amount and prevention of reduction in compressor efficiency with reduction of time to switch to the maximum mode.

A compressor includes a driving motor, a centrifugation space, a discharge pipe, a rotary shaft, a compression portion, a pump assembly, and an oil pickup. The centrifugation space is defined inside a case by a downstream side of the driving motor and the case, and enables centrifugation of a compressed refrigerant and a lubricant oil. The discharge pipe can discharge the refrigerant from the centrifugation space outside the case. The rotary shaft is coupled to a rotor of the driving motor and defines an oil supply path. The compression portion is provided at an upstream side of the driving motor and can compress the refrigerant as the rotary shaft rotates. The pump assembly is provided below the rotary shaft and can pump oil as rotated with the rotary shaft. The oil pickup defines an oil supply path between the pump assembly and a low oil space formed inside the case.

A 3D-printed oil separation assembly for use in a reciprocating compressor is provided. The compressor includes a suction chamber, a crankcase chamber, and at least one partition member at least partially separating the suction chamber and the crankcase chamber. The at least one partition member further includes at least one opening. The 3D-printed oil separation assembly comprises a coalescing structure positioned within the crankcase chamber adjacent the at least one partition member at the at least one opening; and at least one securing structure secured in operable relation with the at least one demisting structure so as to secure the coalescing structure relative to the opening. The coalescing structure comprises at least one structure selected from the group consisting of a baffled structure, a demisting structure, and combinations thereof. At least a portion of the coalescing structure is 3D-printed.

There is provided a shoe for a compressor with improved seizure resistance. The shoe for the compressor includes: a first sliding face that slides on a piston; a second sliding face that slides on a swash plate; and a recess formed in the second sliding face. In a section along a height direction and scaled up 1000 times in the height direction and 10 times in a radial direction, a connecting portion between the second sliding face and the recess 53 is formed in a rounded shape with a radius R2 larger than 5 mm.

A swash plate compressor according to the present invention includes a first slide layer formed between a swash plate and shoes; and a second slide layer formed between cylinder bores and pistons. The first slide layer and the second slide layer each contain binder resin and solid lubricant. The first slide layer has a smaller contact angle of lubricating oil than the second slide layer.

A compressor including: a casing; a rotary shaft rotatably mounted in the casing; a compression mechanism configured to compress a refrigerant by operating in conjunction with the rotary shaft; a thrust plate configured to support an end surface of the rotary shaft; a chamber configured to accommodate the thrust plate; and a slit configured to guide oil to the chamber, in which a part of the slit is formed to face a contact portion between the rotary shaft and the thrust plate, such that it is possible to supply the oil between the rotary shaft and the thrust plate, thereby preventing damage to the thrust plate for supporting the rotary shaft. In addition, an inner diameter of the chamber gradually increases, and the chamber extends to an end surface of a cylinder block, such that the cylinder block may be easily extracted from a mold.
