Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a scroll compressor, and more particularly relates to a measure to supply oil to a sliding portion of a compression mechanism.
  • Scroll compressors having a fixed scroll and a movable scroll for compressing a fluid therebetween have been known and widely used in, e.g., a refrigerating apparatus.
  • Patent Document 1 discloses a scroll compressor of this type.
  • the scroll compressor has an electric motor housed in a casing, and a drive shaft driven in rotation by the electric motor. One end of the drive shaft is engaged with an engaging portion of an end plate of the movable scroll. The rotation of the drive shaft being driven by the electric motor causes the movable scroll to rotate eccentrically relative to the fixed scroll, which gradually reduces the volume of a compression chamber between these scrolls, thereby compressing the fluid in the compression chamber.
  • a housing which rotatably receives the drive shaft is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the casing.
  • the housing has a receiving chamber, arranged in its upper middle portion, for receiving the drive shaft and the engaging portion of the movable scroll.
  • An oil pump is provided at a lower end portion of the drive shaft in order to suck up oil from an oil reservoir at the bottom of the casing. The oil sucked up by the oil pump with the rotation of the drive shaft flows upward through an oil passage in the drive shaft. The oil is then supplied to a bearing of the drive shaft and the sliding portion between the drive shaft and the engaging portion of the movable scroll, and thereafter into the receiving chamber.
  • the oil accumulated in the receiving chamber sequentially flows through an oil passage 44a extending radially outward from the receiving chamber, and an oil passage 44b extending upward from the outlet of the oil passage 44a, and is then supplied to a sliding portion (a sliding portion of a thrust surface) of the compression mechanism.
  • the scroll compressor of Patent Document 1 lubricates the sliding portion of the thrust surface of the compression mechanism, using the oil which has been used to lubricate the sliding portion between the drive shaft and the engaging portion of the movable scroll.
  • Patent Document 2 discloses a scroll compressor having a sealed vessel divided into a high pressure side, exposed to a compression chamber outlet, and a low pressure side exposed to suction pressure.
  • the compressor features a bearing structure having a groove where lubricant oil is accumulated.
  • the scroll compressor disclosed in Patent Document 1 always needs to store a certain amount of oil in the receiving chamber so that the oil in the receiving chamber can be supplied to the sliding portion of the compression mechanism with reliability.
  • such storage of a certain amount of oil in the receiving chamber will cause the drive shaft or engaging portion housed in the receiving chamber to be soaked in the oil. This increases a frictional resistance between the drive shaft or the engaging portion and the oil during the rotation of the drive shaft, thereby increasing churning loss and the motive energy of the electric motor.
  • a first aspect of the invention is directed to a scroll compressor including: a casing (15); an electric motor (50) housed in the casing (15); a drive shaft (60) driven by the electric motor (50); a compression mechanism (20) which has a movable scroll (40) and a fixed scroll (30), the movable scroll (40) having an engaging portion (43), with which one end of the drive shaft (60) engages, and rotating eccentrically relative to the drive shaft (60); a housing (25) including a bearing (28) which supports the drive shaft (60), and a receiving portion (26) which receives the engaging portion (43); and an oil transfer mechanism (75) which transfers oil in an oil reservoir (18) of the casing (15).
  • the drive shaft (60) is provided with an oil supply passage (70) which supplies the oil transferred by the oil transfer mechanism (75) to a sliding portion (44) of the engaging portion (43).
  • the housing (25) is provided with a recess (78) which is provided on a bottom (26a) of the receiving portion (26), and in which the oil accumulates after lubricating the sliding portion (44) of the engaging portion (43), and an oil supply channel (90) which delivers the oil in the recess (78) to a sliding portion (35, 45) of the compression mechanism (20)
  • the recess (78) is configured as an annular groove (78) surrounding an entire periphery of the bearing (28)
  • the housing (25) is provided with a cylindrical projection (79) between the annular groove (78) and the bearing (28), and the cylindrical projection (79) elastically deforms along the drive shaft (60) when the drive shaft (60) warps radially outward during rotation of the drive shaft (60).
  • one end of the drive shaft (60) engages with the engaging portion (43) of the movable scroll (40), thereby coupling the drive shaft (60) and the movable scroll (40).
  • Rotation of the drive shaft (60) being driven by the electric motor (50) causes the movable scroll (40) to rotate eccentrically relative to the fixed scroll (30), which reduces the volume of a compression chamber between the fixed scroll (30) and the movable scroll (40), thereby compressing the fluid in the compression chamber.
  • the oil transfer mechanism (75) supplies the oil in the oil reservoir (18) of the casing (15) to the sliding portion (44) between the drive shaft (60) and the engaging portion (43) via the oil supply passage (70).
  • the sliding portion (44) is lubricated with the oil to cause a decrease in sliding friction.
  • the oil used to lubricate the sliding portion (44) of the engaging portion (43) flows into the receiving portion (26) that receives the engaging portion (43). Since the present invention provides a recess (78) on the bottom of the receiving portion (26), the oil which has flowed out falls down into the recess (78). This reduces the possibility of the oil accumulating in the receiving portion (26) so much as to reach the vicinity of the engaging portion (43). As a result, the oil churning loss is reduced at the engaging portion (43) during its rotation.
  • the oil which has fallen down into the recess (78) is led to the sliding portion (35, 45) of the compression mechanism (20) through the oil supply channel (90). Since the recess (78) is located at a lower level than the bottom of the receiving portion (26), the oil in the receiving portion (26) is successively supplied into the recess (78). This allows for a reliable supply of the oil in the recess (78) to the sliding portion (35, 45) of the compression mechanism (20).
  • the recess (78) is configured as an annular groove (78) surrounding an entire periphery of the bearing (28).
  • the recess of the first aspect is configured as an annular groove (78) surrounding an entire periphery of the bearing (28) of the drive shaft (60).
  • the annular groove surrounding the entire periphery of the bearing (28) decreases the elastic modulus of a portion of the housing (25) between the annular groove (78) and the bearing (28).
  • this portion is easily deformed along the outer peripheral surface of the drive shaft (60) even if the axial center of the drive shaft (60) inclines during the rotation of the drive shaft (60). This prevents the outer peripheral surface of the drive shaft (60) from partially contacting with the bearing (28), thereby reducing bearing load on the bearing (28).
  • a second aspect of the invention is an embodiment of the first aspect of the invention.
  • the housing (25) is provided with an oil exhaust channel (80) which delivers the oil in the receiving portion (26) to the oil reservoir (18).
  • part of the oil which has fallen down into the receiving portion (26) after lubricating the sliding portion (44) of the engaging portion (43) returns to the oil reservoir (18) through the oil exhaust channel (80).
  • a rise in the oil level of the receiving portion (26) is prevented by returning the oil in the receiving portion (26) to the oil reservoir (18) through the oil exhaust channel (80).
  • the engaging portion (43) is prevented from being soaked in the oil, which reduces the oil churning loss at the engaging portion (43) during its rotation.
  • a third aspect of the invention is an embodiment of the second aspect of the invention.
  • an inlet port (80a) of the oil exhaust channel (80) is opened to an inner space of the receiving portion (26) so as to be level with the bottom (26a) of the receiving portion (26).
  • the inlet port (80a) of the oil exhaust channel (80) is arranged to be level with the bottom (26a) of the receiving portion (26).
  • the oil which has overflowed from the recess (78) is immediately introduced to the oil exhaust channel (80).
  • the rise in the oil level in the receiving portion (26) is therefore prevented with reliability.
  • a fourth aspect of the invention is an embodiment of the second aspect of the invention.
  • an inlet port (80a) of the oil exhaust channel (80) is opened to inside of the recess (78).
  • part of the oil which has fallen down into the recess (78) from the receiving portion (26) returns to the oil reservoir (18) through the oil exhaust channel (80).
  • the oil in the recess (78) is prevented from overflowing into the receiving portion (26), thereby preventing the rise in the oil level in the receiving portion (26) with reliability.
  • a fifth aspect of the invention is an embodiment of the fourth aspect of the invention.
  • the inside of the recess (78) is partitioned, by a partition member (100) extending from a bottom of the recess (78) to an open end of the recess (78), into a first space (S1) which communicates with an inlet port (90a) of the oil supply channel (90), and a second space (S2) which communicates with the inlet port (80a) of the oil exhaust channel (80), and the first space (S1) has a larger volume than the second space (S2).
  • the inside of the recess (78) is partitioned into a first space (S1) and a second space (S2) by a partition member (100).
  • the volume of the first space (S1) that communicates with the oil supply channel (90) is larger than the volume of the second space (S2) that communicates with the oil exhaust channel (80).
  • the present invention allows for storing a sufficient amount of oil to be supplied to the sliding portion (35, 45) of the compression mechanism (20) through the oil supply channel (90).
  • a sixth aspect of the invention is an embodiment of any one of the fourth or fifth aspects of the invention.
  • the inlet port (90a) of the oil supply channel (90) is located at a lower level than the inlet port (80a) of the oil exhaust channel (80).
  • the inlet port (90a) of the oil supply channel (90) is located at a lower level than the inlet port (80a) of the oil exhaust channel (80).
  • the oil level is between the inlet port (90a) of the oil supply channel (90) and the inlet port (80a) of the oil exhaust channel (80)
  • this oil is led only to the oil supply channel (90).
  • the oil level is higher than the inlet port (80a) of the oil exhaust channel (80)
  • this oil is led to both of the oil supply channel (90) and the oil exhaust channel (80).
  • the oil which has flowed out into the receiving portion (26) is supplied preferentially to the oil supply channel (90) rather than to the oil exhaust channel (80). This allows for reliable lubrication of the sliding portion (35, 45) of the compression mechanism (20).
  • the recess (78) is provided on the bottom (26a) of the receiving portion (26). This allows for delivering the oil used to lubricate the sliding portion (44) of the engaging portion (43) to the recess (78). As a result, the possibility of the engaging portion (43) being soaked in the oil is reduced in the receiving portion (26), thereby reducing the oil churning loss at the engaging portion (43) during its rotation.
  • the recess is configured as an annular groove (78). This prevents partial contact between the drive shaft (60) and the bearing (28). That is, in the present invention, the annular groove (78) functions not only as a recess (78) for accumulating the oil but also as a so-called elastic groove. This allows for simplifying the device structure.
  • the oil which has flowed out into the receiving portion (26) returns to the oil reservoir (18) via the oil exhaust channel (80).
  • the inlet port (80a) of the oil exhaust channel (80) is level with the bottom (26a) of the receiving portion (26).
  • the oil in the receiving portion (26) can be immediately discharged.
  • the inlet port (80a) of the oil exhaust channel (80) is opened to the inside of the recess (78).
  • the inside of the recess (78) is partitioned into a first space (S1) and the second space (S2) by a partition member (100), and the first space (S1) communicating with the oil supply channel (90) has a larger volume than the second space (S2).
  • the sliding portion (35, 45) of the compression mechanism (20) is lubricated successfully, and the reliability of the scroll compressor is improved eventually.
  • the inlet port (90a) of the oil supply channel (90) is located at a lower level than the inlet port (80a) of the oil exhaust channel (80). This prevents a shortage of the oil to be supplied from the oil supply channel (90) to the sliding portion (35, 45) of the compression mechanism (20). As a result, the sliding portion (35, 45) of the compression mechanism (20) is lubricated as intended, and the reliability of the scroll compressor is improved eventually.

  • the inlet port (91a) of the first oil supply hole (91) is located at a higher level than the bottom of the annular groove (78). This structure prevents waste or any other foreign substances collected at the bottom of the annular groove (78) from entering the oil supply channel (90) through the inlet port (91a), and eventually prevents the oil supply channel (90) from being clogged with such waste or any other substances.

  • the oil groove (95) communicates with the outflow end of the oil communication passage (94).
  • the energization of the electric motor (50) causes the drive shaft (60) to rotate the movable scroll (40). Since the Oldham coupling (24) regulates the rotational movement of the movable scroll (40), the movable scroll (40) does not rotate on its own axis but only revolves around.
  • the compression chamber (21) comes to communicate with the discharge port (22) in the end.
  • the refrigerant compressed in the compression chamber (21) (that is, a high-pressure gas refrigerant) flows into the discharge gas passage (23) through the discharge port (22), and is then discharged into the inner space of the casing (15).
  • the high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the compression mechanism (20) is once guided to below the stator (51) of the electric motor (50), and then flows upward through a gap between the rotor (52) and the stator (51) and other regions. Thereafter, the high-pressure gas refrigerant flows out of the casing (15) through the discharge pipe (17).
  • the high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the compression mechanism (20) circulates through the inner space of the casing (15) under the housing (25), where the pressure is substantially equal to the pressure of the high-pressure gas refrigerant.
  • the inner space of the casing (15) over the housing (25) communicates with the suction pipe (16), and has almost as much pressure as the low-pressure gas refrigerant to be sucked into the compression mechanism (20).
  • the rotating drive shaft (60) drives the oil supply pump (75), thereby sucking up the refrigeration oil accumulated at the bottom of the casing (15) to the main passage (74) of the oil supply passage (70).
  • Part of the refrigeration oil flowing through the main passage (74) flows into the branch passages (71-73), and the rest flows out of the main passage (74) through its upper end.
  • the oil (the refrigeration oil) which has flowed into the third branch passage (73) is supplied to a gap between the auxiliary journal (67) and the bearing metal (58), and is used to lubricate and cool the auxiliary journal (67) and the bearing metal (58).
  • the oil which has flowed into the second branch passage (72) is supplied to a gap between the main journal (64) and the bearing metal (28), and is used to lubricate and cool the main journal (64) and the bearing metal (28).
  • the oil which has flowed into the first branch passage (71) is supplied to a gap between the eccentric portion (63) and the bearing metal (44), and is used to lubricate and cool the eccentric portion (63) and the bearing metal (44).
  • the oil used to lubricate the bearing metal (44) flows out into the central recess (26).
  • the cylindrical portion (43) of the movable scroll (40) may be soaked in the oil. If the cylindrical portion (43) performs the eccentric rotational movement a number of times in such a state, the oil in the central recess (26) constitutes a resistance to the cylindrical portion (43), and so-called oil churning loss increases. This leads to an increase in motive energy of the electric motor (50). Further, if the oil in the central recess (26) is agitated by the cylindrical portion (43), the high-pressure gas refrigerant in the casing (15) may be mixed with the oil, or the oil may turn into a fine mist.
  • the present embodiment therefore provides the annular groove (78) on the bottom (26a) of the central recess (26) to prevent the oil in the central recess (26) from being agitated by the cylindrical portion (43).
  • the refrigerant which has been used to lubricate the bearing metal (44) and flowed into the central recess (26) falls down into the annular groove (78) from the bottom (26a) of the central recess (26).
  • the oil level in the annular groove (78) exceeds the level of the inlet port (90a) of the first oil supply hole (91)

  • This oil passes through the first oil supply hole (91), and then flows upward through the second oil supply hole (92).
  • the high-pressure oil is decompressed in the second oil supply hole (92) by the screw member (93).
  • the oil which has passed through the second oil supply hole (92) flows into the oil groove (95) via the oil communication passage (94) inside the fixed scroll (30).
  • the sliding portion of the compression mechanism (20) between the sliding portion (35) of the fixed thrust surface and the sliding portion (45) of the movable thrust surface is lubricated with the oil.
  • the oil which has flowed out into the central recess (26) is appropriately supplied to the sliding portion of the compression mechanism (20) through the annular groove (78) and the oil supply channel (90).
  • the rise in the oil level in the central recess (26) is prevented, thereby reducing the area of the cylindrical portion (43) of the movable scroll (40) to be soaked in the oil.
  • the oil level in the annular groove (78) rises so much as to make the oil overflow from the annular groove (78) into the central recess (26), this oil flows into the oil exhaust channel (80).
  • the oil sequentially flows through the horizontal hole (81), the vertical hole (82), and the oil catch plate (83) to be guided into the core cut (51a).
  • the oil in the core cut (51a) further flows down along the inner peripheral surface of the casing (15), and is delivered to the oil reservoir (18) in the end.
  • the annular groove (78) is provided on the bottom (26a) of the central recess (26) of the housing (25), which allows the annular groove (78) to catch the oil used to lubricate the bearing metal (44).
  • the motive energy of the electric motor (50) is reduced, which contributes to energy saving more effectively.
  • this structure prevents the cylindrical portion (43) from agitating the oil in this manner, it also prevents a compressed fluid from being mixed with the oil, and further prevents the oil from turning into a mist.
  • the oil used to lubricate the bearing metal (44) can immediately return to the oil reservoir (18), and therefore so-called oil shortage is eliminated.
  • the annular groove (78) is provided around the bearing metal (28) of the main journal (64), which allows for providing the cylindrical projection (79) between the annular groove (78) and the bearing metal (28).
  • This structure allows the cylindrical projection (79) to be elastically deformed along the main journal (64) even if the main journal (64) inclines with respect to the axial center.
  • the main journal (64) is prevented from partially contacting with the bearing metal (28), thereby reducing bearing load on the main journal (64).
  • the annular groove (78) functions not only as a groove which catches and delivers the oil to the oil supply channel (90) but also as a so-called elastic groove. This allows for simplifying the structure of the housing (25).
  • part of the oil which has flowed out into the central recess (26) returns directly to the oil reservoir (18) through the oil exhaust channel (80).
  • the inlet port (80a) of the oil exhaust channel (80) is arranged to be level with the bottom (26a) of the central recess (26).
  • the inlet port (90a) of the oil supply channel (90) is opened to the inside of the annular groove (78), and the inlet port (80a) of the oil exhaust channel (80) is opened to the inside of the central recess (26). That is, the inlet port (90a) of the oil supply channel (90) is located at a lower level than the inlet port (80a) of the oil exhaust channel (80).
  • the oil which has flowed out into the central recess (26) is introduced to the oil supply channel (90) earlier than to the oil exhaust channel (80). This allows for supplying the oil to the sliding portions (35, 45) of the compression mechanism (20) successfully, and increases reliability of the scroll compressor (10).
  • the scroll compressor (10) according to a first variation illustrated in FIG. 5 is different from the above embodiment in the configuration of the oil exhaust channel (80).
