Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a co-rotating scroll compressor.
  • a co-rotating scroll compressor is known in the related art (see PTL 1).
  • the co-rotating scroll compressor is provided with a drive-side scroll and a driven-side scroll rotating synchronously with the drive-side scroll.
  • a driven shaft supporting the rotation of the driven-side scroll is offset by a turning radius with respect to a drive shaft rotating the drive-side scroll. As a result, the drive shaft and the driven shaft are rotated in the same direction and at the same angular velocity.
  • a synchronization drive mechanism transmitting a drive force from a drive-side scroll member to a driven-side scroll member is used such that the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member perform rotating motions in the same direction and at the same angular velocity.
  • a mechanism using a crank pin or a pin ring is conceivable as the synchronization drive mechanism, the life of the synchronization drive mechanism may be shortened due to compression heat transmission from the scroll member. A decrease in the life of the synchronization drive mechanism needs to be prevented particularly in a case where a lubricant is used.
  • the synchronization drive mechanism When the synchronization drive mechanism is adopted between the two members, that is, the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member, a load is applied to the synchronization drive mechanism at two places, which may result in moment generation around the synchronization drive mechanism and a decrease in the life of the synchronization drive mechanism.
  • the lubricant that is enclosed in the rolling bearing may leak to the outside due to a centrifugal force, and then a decrease in bearing life may result from insufficient lubrication.
  • the lubricant leakage may result in mixing into a compressed fluid and fluid contamination.
  • crank pin provided with the rolling bearing is used as the synchronization drive mechanism, it is necessary to provide at least two rolling bearings supporting crank pin rotation, which leads to an increase in cost.
  • the tolerance of the crank pin, the tolerance of the hole into which the rolling bearing is inserted, or the like may lead to internal force generation in the crank pin and a decrease in the life of the synchronization drive mechanism.
  • a crank pin machining error is likely to occur and the internal force that is generated in the crank pin may increase.

Since the side plates and the center plate as members separate from both scroll members are provided with the synchronization drive mechanisms as described above, heating attributable to the compression heat from the scroll members can be decreased and the life of the synchronization drive mechanisms can be extended.
  • a load is applied to the synchronization drive mechanism from the center plate and the side plates on both sides thereof, and thus the moment around the center plate can be canceled and the life of the synchronization drive mechanisms can be extended.
  • the synchronization drive mechanisms are disposed by both side plates and the center plate being provided on the rotational axis direction side, and thus diameter reduction can be achieved as compared with a case where a synchronization drive mechanism is provided on radial direction sides of the scroll members.

  • the fixing portion positioned on a radial outer side of the center of the scroll member has a structure using a metal portion without resin portion interposition.
  • the structure in which the resin portion is interposed is because the temperature of the fixing portion positioned on the radial inner side of the center of the scroll member tends to rise due to compression heat. As a result, it is possible to achieve life extension by suppressing a rise in the temperature of the synchronization drive mechanism.
