A scroll compressor of the present disclosure includes a housing; a motor provided in the housing; a rotating shaft rotated by the motor; an orbital scroll orbital moved by the rotating shaft; and a fixed scroll forming a compression chamber together with the orbital scroll, wherein the housing includes a center housing through which the rotating shaft passes; a front housing forming a motor accommodating space in which the motor is accommodated; and a rear housing having a discharge chamber accommodating a refrigerant discharged from the compression chamber, a discharge port guiding the refrigerant of the discharge chamber to an outside of the housing, an introduction port into which an intermediate pressure refrigerant is introduced from the outside of the housing, and an introduction chamber accommodating the refrigerant introduced through the introduction port, and wherein the fixed scroll comprises an injection hole guiding the refrigerant of the introduction chamber to the compression chamber. Thereby, an amount of refrigerant discharged from the compression chamber is increased, and thus the performance and efficiency of the compressor may be improved.

A scroll compressor including a housing, a motor provided in the housing, a rotary shaft configured to be rotated by the motor, an orbiting scroll configured to orbit in conjunction with the rotary shaft, a fixed scroll configured to define a compression chamber together with the orbiting scroll, and a discharge valve disposed on one surface of the fixed scroll and configured to open or close one or more discharge openings of the fixed scroll through which a refrigerant compressed in the compression chamber is discharged, in which the discharge valve includes: a discharge reed plate disposed on one surface of the fixed scroll, and a gasket retainer disposed between one surface of the fixed scroll and the housing and configured to surround the discharge reed plate.

According to one embodiment, a compressor includes cylinders, a rotating shaft, bearings, and discharge valve mechanisms. Each of the discharge valve mechanisms includes a discharge valve and a valve presser. Regarding the valve pressers, each of the valve pressers includes a main body part lengthwise along the longitudinal direction of the discharge valve, and at least one of the valve pressers includes a fixed part extending in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the discharge valve relatively to the main body part and fixed to the bearing.

The distance between openings of two supply passages that are closest to an accommodating recess is less than the distance between openings of two injection ports that are closest to compression chambers. This configuration minimizes the volume of the space in the accommodating recess between a check valve and the two supply passages, unlike a case in which the distance between the openings of the supply passages that are closest to the accommodating recess is greater than or equal to the distance between the openings of the two injection ports that are closest to the compression chambers. This reduces the flow rate of refrigerant that flows into the accommodating recess from the compression chambers in a compression process through the injection ports and the supply passages.

A flange is held by a peripheral wall of an intermediate housing member and a peripheral wall of a motor housing member. In this state, bolts are passed through the intermediate housing member and the flange and are threaded to a peripheral wall of the motor housing member, thereby integrally fixing a shaft support housing member to the intermediate housing member and the motor housing member. Thus, the shaft support housing member sufficiently receives the fastening force of the bolts. Vibration of the shaft support housing member is therefore easily suppressed. The intermediate housing member includes a peripheral wall. Thus, the intermediate housing member has a higher stiffness than in a case in which the intermediate housing member does not have the peripheral wall.

A compression chamber includes the compression chamber partitioning member, an intermediate pressure chamber guides an intermediate pressure working fluid before injection to the compression chamber, and the intermediate pressure chamber and the compression chamber face each other with a compression chamber partitioning member interposed between the intermediate pressure chamber and the compression chamber. Further, the intermediate pressure chamber includes an intermediate pressure chamber inlet through which an intermediate pressure working fluid flows, an injection port inlet of an injection port through which the intermediate pressure working fluid is injected into the compression chamber, and a liquid reservoir formed at a position below the intermediate pressure chamber inlet, and the liquid reservoir is formed by the compression chamber partitioning member.

A sheet-shaped check valve 23 which opens and closes the injection passage 21 is placed in the check valve chamber 22, an injection discharge passage 21b portion connected to the compression chamber 13 of the injection passage 21 and the check valve chamber 22 open from an outer surface of the fixed scroll 11, a lid body 25 is attached to openings of the injection discharge passage 21b and the check valve chamber 22 such that the check valve 23 is sandwiched between the openings and the lid body 25, and the injection discharge passage 21b and the check valve chamber 22 are hermetically closed, thereby forming the injection passage 21. According to this, it is possible to provide a reliable, efficient and inexpensive compressor with an injection mechanism.

An electric compressor includes a housing, refrigerant inlet port, a refrigerant outlet port, an inverter section, a motor section, a compression device and a front cover. The housing defines an intake volume and a discharge volume. The refrigerant inlet port is coupled to the housing and is configured to introduce the refrigerant to the intake volume. The compression device is a scroll-type compression device configured to compress the refrigerant. The refrigerant outlet port is coupled to the housing and is configured to allow compressed refrigerant to exit the scroll-type electric compressor from the discharge volume.

A scroll compressor includes a housing; a motor provided in the housing; a rotating shaft rotated by the motor; an orbital scroll orbital moved by the rotating shaft; and a fixed scroll forming a compression chamber together with the orbital scroll, wherein the fixed scroll includes an injection hole guiding an intermediate pressure refrigerant to the compression chamber, wherein the compression chamber is formed in a pair, and wherein the injection hole is formed to communicate with any one of the pair of compression chambers when communicating with the other one of the pair of compression chambers. Thereby, an amount of refrigerant discharged from the compression chamber is increased, and thus the performance and efficiency of the compressor may be improved.
