DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
(11) The present application relates to an orbiting scroll apparatus for a scroll compressor. Exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, compared with the orbiting scroll apparatus P1 in the related technology. The following description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the present disclosure and an application or use thereof.
(12) First, referring to FIGS. 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D, an orbiting scroll apparatus P1 for a scroll compressor in the related technology is illustrated, wherein FIG. 1A shows a perspective view of the orbiting scroll apparatus P1, FIG. 1B shows a side view of the orbiting scroll apparatus P1, FIG. 1C shows a cross-sectional view of the orbiting scroll apparatus P1 taken along the section line I-I in FIG. 1B, and FIG. 1D shows a longitudinal sectional view of the orbiting scroll apparatus P1 taken along the section line II-II in FIG. 1C. As shown, the orbiting scroll apparatus P1 includes: an orbiting scroll end plate P11, an orbiting scroll vane P111 provided on a side surface of the orbiting scroll end plate P11; and a hub P12, which has a cylindrical opening P120 for engaging with a drive bearing of the scroll compressor. As described above, in order to adjust the centroid of the orbiting scroll apparatus P1 as close as possible to a center axis of the drive bearing of the scroll compressor, a centroid-adjusting recess P121 is provided on an outer surface of the hub P12. As described above, the centroid-adjusting recess P121 in the related technology is generally formed by casting during the casting process of the orbiting scroll apparatus P1. As can be seen from the figures, the centroid-adjusting recess P121 is generally a polyhedron with a complicated shape. Therefore, the cost of manufacturing the orbiting scroll apparatus having such centroid-adjusting recess with this configuration by casting is relatively high. Moreover, this cast-formed centroid-adjusting recess with a complicated shape has higher requirements on the process, has certain limitations in centroid adjustment, and can hardly meet the requirements for flexible and precise adjustment of the centroid of the orbiting scroll apparatus according to the requirements of dynamic balance for different compressors in the later stage.
(13) In contrast, the orbiting scroll apparatus manufactured according to the method for manufacturing the orbiting scroll apparatus for a scroll compressor of the present application and the scroll compressor including the orbiting scroll apparatus solve the above problems.
(14) FIGS. 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D show an orbiting scroll apparatus 1 for a scroll compressor according to a first embodiment of the present application, wherein FIG. 2A shows a perspective view of the orbiting scroll apparatus 1, FIG. 2B shows a side view of the orbiting scroll apparatus 1, FIG. 2C shows a cross-sectional view of the orbiting scroll apparatus 1 taken along the section line I-I in FIG. 2B, and FIG. 2D shows a longitudinal sectional view of the orbiting scroll apparatus 1 taken along the section line II-II in FIG. 2C. As shown, the orbiting scroll apparatus 1 for a scroll compressor according to the first embodiment of the present application includes: an orbiting scroll end plate 11; an orbiting scroll vane 111 formed on a first side surface of the orbiting scroll end plate 11; and a hub 12, which is arranged on a second side surface of the orbiting scroll end plate 11 opposite to the first side surface and has a cylindrical opening 120 for engaging a drive bearing (not shown) of the scroll compressor. The hub 12 is composed of a first cylindrical portion 12A and a second cylindrical portion 12B which have different outer diameters. The first cylindrical portion 12A integrally and vertically extends from the orbiting scroll end plate 11. The outer diameter of the second cylindrical portion 12B is larger than the outer diameter of the first cylindrical portion 12A, and the second cylindrical portion 12B extends vertically from one end of the first cylindrical portion 12A while the second cylindrical portion 12B is concentric and integral with the first cylindrical portion 12A, wherein, at least one centroid-adjusting recess 121 formed by machining is provided, the at least one centroid-adjusting recess 121 may be provided at any position on the hub 12, and may be provided in any different shapes. In the first embodiment of the present application, as shown in the figures, the at least one centroid-adjusting recess 121 is located on an outer surface of the second cylindrical portion 12B of the hub 12, and the at least one centroid-adjusting recess 121 is machined into multiple holes 121a separated from each other, as clearly shown in FIG. 2C. The multiple holes 121a may have different hole diameters and hole depths, and may be spaced at different intervals to meet different requirements for centroid adjustment. The hole may be formed by any hole processing method known in the prior art, such as by drilling, reaming, boring, broaching, and the like, which is not particularly limited.
(15) It should be understood that although the holes shown in the figures are spaced apart from each other, the actual application is not limited to this. Instead, multiple holes may be continuously processed on the surface of the hub 12 according to the requirements of the centroid adjustment in a manner that these holes are in communicating with each other.

As shown in the figures, the orbiting scroll apparatus 1 for a scroll compressor according to the second embodiment of the present application has a similar structure to the orbiting scroll apparatus 1 for a scroll compressor according to the first embodiment of the present application. The difference lies in that, in the orbiting scroll apparatus 1 for a scroll compressor according to the second embodiment of the present application, the at least one centroid-adjusting recess 121 is machined into one groove 121b, and, as shown in the figures, the groove 121b is an annular groove formed along the outer surface of the second cylindrical portion 12B of the hub 12 in a circumferential direction of the second cylindrical portion 12B, and the groove 121b has a constant opening width and a constant groove depth, that is, as can be seen from FIGS. 3C and 3D, an inner circumferential edge of the groove 121b is circular and is concentric with the cylindrical opening 120 of the hub 12. The groove may be formed by various suitable processing methods known in the art.
(17) It is clear that, more than one groove may be provided, and these grooves may not be continuous loops, but may extend in any direction to form arcs or strips having different lengths, and these grooves may have different and varying opening widths and/or groove depths as needed, as in the third embodiment which will be described in detail below.
(18) FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C and 4D show the orbiting scroll apparatus 1 for a scroll compressor according to a third embodiment of the present application, wherein FIG. 4A shows a perspective view of the orbiting scroll apparatus 1, FIG. 4B shows a side view of the orbiting scroll apparatus 1, FIG. 4C shows a cross-sectional view of the orbiting scroll apparatus 1 taken along the section line I-I in FIG. 4B, and FIG. 4D shows a longitudinal sectional view of the orbiting scroll apparatus 1 taken along the section line II-II in FIG. 4C. As shown in the figures, the orbiting scroll apparatus 1 for a scroll compressor according to the third embodiment of the present application has a similar structure to the orbiting scroll apparatus 1 for a scroll compressor according to the second embodiment of the present application. The difference lies in that, in the orbiting scroll apparatus 1 for a scroll compressor according to the third embodiment of the present application, the at least one centroid-adjusting recess 121 is machined into one groove 121b′, and, as shown in the figures, the groove 121b′ is an annular groove formed along the outer surface of the second cylindrical portion 12B of the hub 12 in the circumferential direction of the second cylindrical portion 12B, and the groove 121b′ has a varying groove depth, that is, as can be seen from FIGS. 4C and 4D, an inner circumferential edge of the groove 121b′ is oval and is eccentric with respect to a center of the cylindrical opening 120 of the hub 12. Such a groove 121b′ having a varying groove depth is formed by removing materials of different mass at different positions along the second cylindrical portion 12B of the hub 12, which thereby plays a role of adjusting the position of the centroid.
(19) It should be noted that the present application is not limited to the above first, second, and third embodiments, and those skilled in the art may easily come up with any combination of the above embodiments to form a new embodiment.
(20) FIGS. 5A, 5B, 5C and 5D show the orbiting scroll apparatus 1 for a scroll compressor according to a forth embodiment of the present application, wherein FIG. 5A shows a perspective view of the orbiting scroll apparatus 1, FIG. 5B shows a side view of the orbiting scroll apparatus 1, FIG. 5C shows a cross-sectional view of the orbiting scroll apparatus 1 taken along the section line I-I in FIG. 5B, and FIG. 5D shows a longitudinal sectional view of the orbiting scroll apparatus 1 taken along the section line II-II in FIG. 5C.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5A, 5B, and 5C, the multiple mutually-separated holes 121a and the groove 121b partially overlap, that is, the groove 121b penetrates through the multiple mutually-separated holes 121a and communicates the multiple mutually-separated holes 121a. This embodiment actually firstly implements a centroid-adjusting recess (such as one of the multiple mutually-separated holes 121a and the groove 121b), and then further implements another centroid-adjusting recess (such as the other of the multiple mutually-separated holes 121a and the groove 121b) to further adjust the centroid and/or reduce weight.
