The rotation of the rotary shaft makes an orbital motion of the movable scroll member around the axis of the rotary shaft and accordingly the compression chambers are moved radially and inwardly thereby to compress the refrigerant gas. The compressor further has a suction chamber communicating with the compression chambers, a discharge chamber, an oil separation chamber separating lubricating oil from the refrigerant gas and communicating with the discharge chamber and a back pressure chamber provided in front of the movable scroll member in the housing and facing to the rear end of the rotary shaft. The back pressure chamber communicates with the oil separation chamber. The rotary shaft includes a first opening at a position adjacent to the front end of the rotary shaft and facing an inner surface of the bearing, a second opening at a position adjacent to the rear end of the rotary shaft and communicating with the back pressure chamber, a communication passage interconnecting the first opening and the second opening and a throttle formed by a clearance between the first opening and the inner surface of the bearing. | 12-10-2009 |
20100158710 | SCROLL COMPRESSOR - A compressor includes a housing, a fixed scroll, a movable scroll and a control valve. The housing has a suction chamber, a discharge chamber and a backpressure chamber formed therein. The scrolls are pressed against each other by backpressure in the backpressure chamber. The control valve for controlling the backpressure has first, second and third chambers arranged in this order. The first, second and third chambers are connected to the discharge chamber, the backpressure chamber and the suction chamber, respectively. The control valve has a valve member. The valve member has a first pressure-receiving surface located in the first chamber, a second pressure-receiving surface located in the second chamber and a third pressure-receiving surface located in the third chamber. The area of the third pressure-receiving surface is larger than the area of the first pressure-receiving surface and larger than the area of the second pressure-receiving surface. | 06-24-2010 |
20110058973 | MOTOR-DRIVEN COMPRESSOR - A motor-driven compressor includes a compression mechanism, an electric motor, a compressor housing, a conductive member, a terminal base, an insulating member, a connection terminal, a wire assembly, a terminal housing, first and second holes formed through the terminal housing and first and second seal members. The conductive member extends from the inside to the outside of the compressor housing and connected electrically to the connection terminal at a terminal connection. The wire assembly has a core wire connecting electrically between the connecting terminal and the electric motor, and an insulator covering the core wire. The terminal housing disposed in the compressor housing covers the terminal connection. The wire assembly has an insulating tube covering the insulator, wherein both ends of the insulating tube are opened for communicating with the inside and the outside of the terminal housing through a clearance formed between the insulating tube and the insulator. | 03-10-2011 |
