(60) The bush radial bearing 31 is provided between an inner peripheral surface of the boss portion 76C and an outer peripheral surface of the drive bush 29. As the bush radial bearing 31, for example, a ball bearing may be used.
(61) In this way, when the ball bearing is used as the bush radial bearing 31, the inner diameter of the bush radial bearing 31 can be decreased. Accordingly, the outer diameter of the drive bush 29 can be decreased.
(62) In this way, when the outer diameter of the drive bush 29 decreases, inexpensive cast iron can be used as the material of the drive bush 29. Accordingly, the cost of the drive bush 29 can be decreased.
(63) The diameter reduced portion 86 is formed in an annular shape in the outer peripheral surface located on the side of the shaft 15 in the drive bush body 81.
(64) The balance weight 32 includes a fitting penetration portion 32A which is fitted to a portion provided with the diameter-reduced portion in the drive bush.
(65) The fitting penetration portion 32A is fitted to a portion provided with the diameter reduced portion 86 in the drive bush 29.
(66) That is, the balance weight 32 is formed as a separate member from the drive bush 29.
(67) In this way, when the drive bush 29 and the balance weight 32 are formed as separate members, they have shapes which are easily processed compared to a shape in which the drive bush 29 and the balance weight 32 are integrated with each other and hence the drive bush 29 and the balance weight 32 can be easily manufactured.
(68) The center axis O.sub.4 of the drive bush 29 with the above-described configuration is an axis which extends in the X direction and is parallel to the first to third axes O.sub.1, O.sub.2, and O.sub.3.
(69) The eccentric shaft 33 extends in the direction of the second axis O.sub.2. The eccentric shaft 33 is set to a size having a constant outer diameter. The eccentric shaft 33 is fitted (press-inserted) into the first hole portion 65 and the penetration portion 82. An end portion 33A of the eccentric shaft 33 located on the side of the second end plate portion 76A is disposed in the hole portion 85. The end portion 33A of the eccentric shaft 33 is disposed at a position separated from the second end plate portion 76A in the X direction.
(70) The base seat portion 92 is integrally formed with the end surface 61a of the shaft 15 and is provided with a press-fitting hole 92A which exposes the first hole portion 65. The base seat portion 92 is disposed in the outer peripheral surface 33a located at the second portion 82B in the outer peripheral surface 33a of the eccentric shaft 33.
(71) The base seat portion 92 forms a gap 95 between the base seat portion and the drive bush body 81 while being disposed in the second portion 82B.
(72) In this way, when the base seat portion 92 which is integrally formed with one end surface 61a of the shaft 15 and is provided with the press-fitting hole 92A exposing the first hole portion 65 is provided and the base seat portion 92 is disposed in the second portion 82B of the penetration portion 82 with the gap 95 interposed between the drive bush body 81 and the base seat portion 92, it is possible to improve the strength of the eccentric shaft 33 (the base of the eccentric shaft) located in the vicinity of one end surface 61a of the shaft 15 that easily generates high stress.
(73) Further, it is possible to shorten the length of the eccentric shaft 33 protruding toward the drive bush 29 compared to a case where the base seat portion 92 is not provided. Accordingly, since it is possible to secure the strength of the eccentric shaft 33, it is possible to decrease the outer diameter of the eccentric shaft 33. Accordingly, it is possible to decrease the radial size of the drive bush 29 to which the eccentric shaft 33 is fitted.
(74) Further, since the gap 95 is interposed between the drive bush body 81 and the base seat portion 92, it is possible to decrease a frictional force between the drive bush body 81 and the base seat portion 92.
(75) It is preferable that the outer diameter R.sub.1 of the base seat portion 92 be smaller than, for example, the inner diameter R.sub.2 of the shaft radial bearing 17.
(76) In this way, when the outer diameter R.sub.1 of the base seat portion 92 is set to be smaller than the inner diameter R.sub.2 of the shaft radial bearing 17, it is possible to decrease the radial size of the drive bush 29. Accordingly, it is possible to form a space for disposing the balance weight 32 on the outside of the drive bush 29 in the radial direction.
(77) The snap ring 35 is provided in the outer peripheral portion of the end portion 33A of the eccentric shaft 33. The snap ring 35 protrudes outward in the radial direction from the outer peripheral surface 33a of the end portion 33A of the eccentric shaft 33.
(78) In this way, when the snap ring 35 is provided to protrude outward in the radial direction from the outer peripheral surface 33a of the end portion 33A of the eccentric shaft 33, it is possible to regulate the position of the eccentric shaft 33 in the X direction from the second end plate portion 76A toward the shaft 15.
(79) The limit pin 37 is a columnar pin, part of the limit pin 37 is disposed in the second hole portion 66, and the remaining part thereof is fitted (press-inserted) to the third hole portion 84.
(80) The limit pin 37 extends in the direction of the third axis O.sub.3 parallel to the direction of the first axis O.sub.1. An annular diameter-reduced portion 37A is formed in an outer peripheral surface of part of the limit pin 37.
(81) The rubber ring 38 is disposed in the diameter-reduced portion 37A. The rubber ring 38 is disposed in the second hole portion 66 together with part of the limit pin 37.
(82) Part of the limit pin 37 provided with the rubber ring 38 is accommodated in the second hole portion 66 so that the rubber ring 38 comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the second hole portion 66.
(83) In this way, when part of the limit pin 37 provided with the rubber ring 38 is disposed in the second hole portion 66 and the remaining part of the limit pin 37 is fitted (press-inserted) to the third hole portion 84, the position of the drive bush 29 with respect to the shaft 15 is regulated by two members (the eccentric shaft 33 and the limit pin 37) and hence the swing amount can be decreased.
(84) Further, when part of the limit pin 37 provided with the rubber ring 38 is accommodated so that the rubber ring 38 comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the second hole portion 66, it is possible to alleviate an impact when a swing occurs.
(85) It is preferable that the second and third axes O.sub.2 and O.sub.3 be disposed at, for example, a position passing through the line L orthogonal to the center axis O.sub.4 of the drive bush 29.
(86) In this way, when the second and third axes O.sub.2 and O.sub.3 are disposed at positions passing through the line L orthogonal to the center axis O.sub.4 of the drive bush 29, the position of the third axis O.sub.3 can be disposed on the outside of the drive bush 29 as much as possible and the thickness of the limit pin 37 can be secured.
(87) According to the scroll compressor 10 of this embodiment, when the base seat portion 92 which is integrally formed with one end surface 61a of the shaft 15 and is provided with the press-fitting hole 92A exposing the first hole portion 65 is provided and the base seat portion 92 is disposed in the second portion 82B of the penetration portion 82 with the gap 95 interposed between the drive bush body 81 and the base seat portion 92, it is possible to improve the strength of the eccentric shaft 33 located in the vicinity of one end surface 61a of the shaft 15 that easily generates high stress (the base of the eccentric shaft).
(88) Further, it is possible to shorten the length of the eccentric shaft 33 protruding toward the drive bush 29 compared to a case in which the base seat portion 92 is not provided. Accordingly, since it is possible to secure the strength of the eccentric shaft 33, it is possible to decrease the outer diameter of the eccentric shaft 33. Accordingly, it is possible to decrease the radial size of the drive bush 29 to which the eccentric shaft 33 is fitted.
(89) Further, since the gap 95 is interposed between the drive bush body 81 and the base seat portion 92, it is possible to decrease a frictional force between the drive bush body 81 and the base seat portion 92.
(90) Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to such a specific embodiment and can be modified and changed in various forms in the scope of the spirit of the present invention described in claims.
(91) For example, in this embodiment, a case in which the second hole portion 66 is formed in the shaft 15 and the third hole portion 84 is formed in the drive bush body 81 has been described as an example. However, the third hole portion 84 to which the remaining part of the limit pin 37 is fitted (press-inserted) may be formed in the shaft 15 and the second hole portion 66 accommodating part of the limit pin 37 provided with the rubber ring 38 may be formed in the drive bush body 81.
