Definitions
- the present invention relates to a scroll-type compressor.
- Figs. lA to 1D illustrate the operating principles of a scroll-type compressor.
- a stationary scroll 1 having the shape of a spiral extending a predetermined distance in the lengthwise direction, is stationarily mounted.
- the term "spiral" as used herein refers to an involute of a circle, an arc of a circle, or the like.
- An orbiting scroll 2, which may be the complement in configuration of the scroll 1, is interleaved with the stationary scroll 1.
- the scroll 2 is made to orbit with respect to the stationary scroll 1, that is, to move in a circle without changing its angular orientation relative to the stationary scroll 1, by a suitable drive mechanism (not shown). Relative positions of the scrolls 1 and 2 at 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° of the 360° cycle of the orbiting scroll 2 are shown in Figs. lA to 1D, respectively.
- a plurality of compression chambers 4 are formed between the scrolls 1 and 2. Each of the compression chambers is moved inwardly with the- volume - thereof being continuously reduced when the orbiting scroll 2 orbits with respect to the stationary scroll 1. The contents of the innermost compression chamber, which is at the highest pressure, is discharged through a discharge port 3.
- the distance between the center e of the stationary scroll 1 and an innermost fixed point ⁇ ' on the orbiting scroll 2, that is, the crank radius of the orbiting scroll 2, is maintained constant during the orbital movement thereof, and can be represented by: where P is the distance between adjacent surfaces of the scrolls (which corresponds to the pitch thereof) and t is the thickness of the scrolls.
- U.S. Patent 3,994,636 discloses the use of a tip seal element at the edge of the spiral arm of each scroll. Such a seal element is illustrated schematically in Figs. 2 and 3.
- Fig. 2 which illustrates the relationship of the tip seal element 6 to the scrolls, here, the orbiting scroll
- the tip seal element 6 is disposed in a tip seal groove 5 formed in the top edge of the scroll.
- the tip seal element 6, which is prepared by curling a rectangular rod of a rigid abrasion-resistant material, functions to seal the axial gap between end plate 11 of the stationary scroll 1 and the edge of the orbiting scroll 2 and the axial gap between the end plate 12 of the orbiting scroll 2 and the edge of the stationary scroll 1.
- Backup springs 7 function to push the - tip seal elements 6 against the end plates to seal the scrolls thereagainst.
- the backup springs 7 are necessary to provide sufficient sealing by the tip seal elements 6.
- the use of such springs is cumbersome, they are difficult to assemble, and relatively deep grooves must be formed in the ends of the scrolls to receive such springs. Further, since leakage of pressurized fluid from the high pressure side ray still occur through the walls of the grooves to the low pressure side, the secondary sealing effect is insufficient.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a scroll-type compressor which does not suffer the disadvantages inherent to the conventional scroll-type compressor having solid tip seal elements.
- a scroll-tpye compressor comprising a stationary scroll having one end attached to a first end plate; and orbiting scroll interleaved with said stationary scroll and having one end attached to a second end plate, each of said scrolls having formed in an end surface thereof opposite said one ends a tip seal groove extending along the scroll.
- edge portions of the scrolls of the scroll-type compressor tip seal elements are provided which are made of an elastic material and which are capable of being inflated by a pressure on the high pressure side of the compression chamber of the compressor to seal the axial gaps between the stationary scroll and the orbiting scroll.
- the tip seal element invention may take the form of either an elastic hollow tube having one end closed and which is fitted in the tip seal groove, or a resilient strip covering the groove except for an innermost end thereof, with the open end of the hollow tube or the open end of the groove being in fluid communication with the high pressure side of the compression chamber so that it is inflated by the pressure of the high pressure side.
- a tip seal element 9 of a first embodiment of the invention takes the form of a hollow tube having a center hole 15.
- the cross section of the tip seal element 9 is circular as shown in Fig. 4B.
- the tip seal element 9 is formed by curling a straight hollow tube as shown in Fig. 4C so that it can be received in the tip seal grooves 5 formed in the edge of the scrolls 1 and 2.
- Tip seal elements 9 are fitted in the tip seal grooves 5 with the open ends 13 thereof at the innermost ends of the tip seal grooves 5 such that the open ends 13 communicate with the high pressure side of the compression chamber formed between the scroll 1 and 2.
- Fig. 5 shows in cross section tip seal elements 9 fitted in the respective tip seal grooves 5.
- each tipo seal element 9 Since the open end 13 of each tipo seal element 9 communicates with the high pressure side of the compression chamber when the compressor is in operation, the interior 15 of the tip seal element 9 is at a higher pressure than the exterior thereof, and hence the tip seal element 9 is inflated to seal the axial gap between the edge of the scrolls and the adjacent end plates as shown in Fig. 6. The higher the pressure in the discharge chamber the larger will be the sealing effect.
