Definitions

• the invention relates to a compressor comprising a scroll compressor with a first compressor body and a second compressor body, the first and second spiral ribs of which are designed in the form of a circular involute, so that the second compressor body can be moved on an orbital path about a central axis relative to the first compressor body, a drive for the scroll compressor with a drive motor and a driver unit which has a driver driven by the drive motor and rotating on a driver path around the central axis and a driver receptacle arranged on the second compressor body, the driver receptacle in the radial direction to the central axis having a radial degree of freedom with respect to the driver It is movable that the second compressor body with the second spiral rib on the first spiral rib due to the radial degree of freedom and the centrifugal forces acting on the second compressor body of the first compressor body is sealingly movable.
• Such a scroll compressor is known, for example, from US Pat. No. 5,295,813.
• the problem with these scroll compressors is that this solution is complicated to manufacture and, on the other hand, undesirable high local surface pressures can occur due to the flat driver surfaces.
• the invention is therefore based on the object of improving a compressor of the generic type in such a way that it can be manufactured as simply as possible and works as reliably as possible.
• the driver has a driver surface which is convexly curved in a direction transverse to the central axis in the direction of rotation, that the driver receptacle is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner relative to the second compressor body and has a driver surface which surrounds the driver in an annular manner, to which the driver surface always acts only in a partial section by applying force, that the pressurized section also rotates on the driving surface when the second compressor body rotates on the orbital track, and that between the driver and the driving surface outside the force-carrying section, the radial degree of freedom of the driver receptacle is opposite there is space between the driver.
• the advantage of the solution according to the invention lies in its structural simplicity, which on the one hand allows the driver receptacle no longer to be rotatably arranged on the second compressor body, but in a rotationally fixed manner, so that the pivot bearing required for this can be omitted, since in the solution according to the invention the relative rotation due to the rotation of the section is solved on the driving surface.
• the solution according to the invention has the great advantage that it requires fewer and, in particular, only easy to machine parts.
• a structurally particularly simple solution provides that the driver receptacle is fixedly arranged on the second compressor body.
• this is a bushing which is preferably integrally formed on the compressor body and in whose inner recess the driver engages.
• the possible radial degree of freedom corresponds at least to the maximum deviation of the orbital orbit of the second compressor body from a geometric circular path around the central axis.
• the geometric circular path around the central axis represents the ideal case of the orbital path, which, however, cannot be reached temporarily or over a long time due to the manufacturing inaccuracies in the area of the spiral ribs, due to thermal changes during operation, for example different temperature expansion, or due to wear Time can be maintained, so that it can be assumed that the actual orbital path of the second compressor body deviates from the ideal geometric circular path.
• the intermediate space has an extension in the radial direction which is at least the maximum deviation of the orbital orbit from the geometric circular orbit corresponds since the intermediate space is thus able to permit the radial movements which are necessary for the second compressor body with its second spiral rib to always lie adjacent to the first spiral rib of the first compressor body.
• the intermediate space has a dimension which is in the range from approximately 1.5% to approximately 15% of an expansion of the driving surface in the radial direction. Values from approximately 2% to approximately 10% are preferred.
• the distance between these, starting from the force-acting section increases with increasing distance from the section, i. That is, due to the continuous increase in the distance between the driving surface and the driving surface, a lubricant cushion is formed near the force-affected section, which must be displaced from the intermediate space in the event of a sudden radial movement and thus employs a certain damping effect.
• the distance between the driver surface and the driver surface coexists on both sides of the force-affected section increasing distance from this increases, so that a movement in the radial direction or in the opposite direction is damped in each case.
• a particularly favorable solution with regard to the production of the driving surface provides that the driving surface runs in a circular manner, preferably as a cylindrical surface of a circular cylinder, so that when the second compressor body moves on the orbital track, the driving surface moves along the circular or cylindrical driving surface.
• the center of the circle or cylinder formed by the driving surface is preferably on the circular path on which the orbital path is based, around the central axis.
• a simplest embodiment of a driver unit according to the invention provides that it has a single driver surface and a driver surface assigned to it. Preferably, the space between the driver and the driving surface.
• the driving surface assigned to the driving surface is arranged on an intermediate ring, which in turn acts with a further driving surface on a further section of a further driving surface by applying force and that between the intermediate ring and the further driving surface there is also a further space which contributes to the radial degree of freedom of the driver receptacle with respect to the driver.
• the intermediate ring it is not absolutely necessary for the intermediate ring to slide with the further driving surface along the further driving surface. It is also conceivable for the intermediate ring to roll along with the additional driving surface on the additional driving surface.
• the driver surface rolls on the driver surface, which however makes it necessary to for example the driver surface as the outer surface of a driver enclosing and rotatably mounted on this Realize sleeve, so that the driving surface can roll as the entire outer surface of the sleeve on the associated driving surface during the movement of the second compressor body on the orbital track.
• a lubricant is supplied in front of the driver surface, so that the lubricant is moved during the rotational movement in the direction of the partial section under power.
• Such a lubricant supply to the driver unit via the driver can be implemented in a variety of ways. For example, it would be conceivable to let lubricant emerge on the face of the driver, which then moves in the direction of the intermediate space and penetrates into it.
• a particularly favorable solution provides that for this purpose the driver with a lubricant channel passing through it is provided, the lubricant channel preferably continuing from the driver via the drive shaft and, for example, a lubricant pump being arranged at an end of the drive shaft of the drive motor opposite the driver.
• the driver is provided with a lubricant outlet opening close to the driver surface and opening into the intermediate space, so that the lubricant is preferably introduced into the intermediate space directly in front of the carrier surface and then from it Moved direction of the power section.
• the intermediate space in order to have the lubricant available as optimally as possible in the area of the force-affected section, in particular for the formation of a hydrodynamic lubricating film, it is preferably provided that the intermediate space, viewed in the direction of rotation of the driver, has an expansion in front of the driving surface which holds the lubricant due to capillary action .
• the force-affected section of the driving surface always extends approximately parallel to the direction of the radial degree of freedom and maintains this orientation, so that a defined orientation of the action of the driver on the driver receptacle can thereby be determined.
• the section lies symmetrically to a tangent to the circular path on which the orbital orbit is based, the tangent running through the center of the circular driving surface.
• the driver always acts on the second compressor body in such a way that it is able to overcome the tangential gas force, but does not make any contribution in the direction of the radial degree of freedom, so that the radial gas force only counteracts the centrifugal force.

• Such dimensioning makes it necessary to choose the distance RE of the cylinder axis 66 of the driver 52 from the central axis 34 to be greater than the radius RB of the orbital track 36, since the cylinder axis 66 is offset in relation to the cylinder axis 62 in the direction of the force-actuated section 72.
