The scroll type air compressor according to this embodiment has the above-mentioned structure. When the drive shaft 2 is rotationally driven by an electric motor via a pulley or the like, the drive shaft 2 rotates from the crank portion 2A. It is transmitted to the orbiting scroll 4 via the orbiting bearing 8, and the orbiting scroll 4 revolves around the axis O1 -O1 of the drive shaft 2 while preventing rotation by the auxiliary cranks 16.

At the same time, the compressed air is discharged from the discharge port 20 to an external air tank (not shown) or the like.

Next, the features of the scroll type fluid machine according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

First, FIG. 3 shows the direction of the centrifugal force F associated with the rotation of the crank portion 2A of the drive shaft 2 and the variation of the clearance of the slewing bearing 8. When the drive shaft 2 is stopped, the axis O1 Although the center of the drive shaft 2 is at the position, when the drive shaft 2 is rotated in the direction of arrow A, for example, the centrifugal force F causes the outer circumference of the slewing bearing 8 to be in the direction of the centrifugal force F by a half of the clearance (δ / 2). To the position of the slewing bearing 8 '. As a result, the center of rotation of the drive shaft 2 is apparently the axis O.
It is the same as moving to the 1'position (the position moved by δ / 2). Further, since the centrifugal force F sequentially moves in the radial direction as the drive shaft 2 rotates, the center of rotation when the drive shaft 2 rotates has a radius δ / 2 around the axis O1.
A circular orbit C of (axis O1 ') comes to be drawn. As a result, the orbiting scroll 4 revolves in a state of being eccentrically outward in the radial direction by δ / 2.

FIG. 4 shows the fixed side shaft portion 16A, the turning side shaft portion 16B and the elastic ring 21 of the auxiliary crank 16. Here, the amount of eccentricity ε in the auxiliary crank 16
0 is set to be larger than the eccentricity amount ε of the drive shaft 2 by about δ / 2. Here, when the drive shaft 2 is stopped, the auxiliary crank 16 also does not rotate, and the rotation center of the auxiliary crank 16 is on the axis O3. On the other hand, by rotating the drive shaft 2, the auxiliary crank 16 also rotates in the direction of arrow B, and is eccentric by half the clearance δ of the drive shaft 2, and the eccentric portion is assisted via the orbiting scroll 4 and the auxiliary crank bearing 18. It is transmitted to the turning side shaft portion 16B of the crank 16. And
In the auxiliary crank 16, this eccentricity δ / 2 tends to act as a load in the radial direction on the auxiliary crank 16, but in the auxiliary crank 16, the eccentricity amount ε0 is set in advance by a clearance δ / 2 minutes. From
It is possible to absorb half the eccentricity of the clearance δ, and it is possible to reduce the load in the radial direction applied to the auxiliary crank 16.

Further, the elastic ring 21 provided on the outer periphery of the auxiliary crank bearing 18 can absorb the difference in the amount of eccentricity by elastically deforming by the clearance δ / 2 when the drive shaft 2 is stopped, and at the time of start-up. Is also appropriately elastically deformed to reduce the load applied to the auxiliary crank 16.

However, in the scroll type air compressor according to the present embodiment, when the drive shaft 2 rotates, the orbiting scroll 4 is caused by the centrifugal force and its moment to cause the orbiting bearing 8 to rotate.
It expands outward by a clearance of δ. However, in the auxiliary crank 16 according to the present embodiment, the eccentricity amount ε0 between the fixed side shaft portion 16A and the turning side shaft portion 16B is set to be larger than the eccentricity amount ε of the drive shaft 2 by δ / 2.
It is possible to surely reduce the load applied to 6 in the radial direction,
The galling phenomenon of the auxiliary crank 16 can be reduced.

Further, the turning side shaft portion 16 of the auxiliary crank 16
Since the elastic ring 21 is provided on the outer periphery of the auxiliary crank bearing 18 that holds B to absorb the positional deviation, the difference in the eccentricity amount of δ / 2 can be absorbed when the drive shaft 2 is stopped.

Furthermore, by preventing the galling phenomenon which occurs in the auxiliary crank 16, it is possible to prevent the auxiliary crank 16 from prematurely wearing and deteriorating the rotational balance of the orbiting scroll 4, and the life of the orbiting scroll type air compressor. Can be effectively extended.

Moreover, the strength with respect to the auxiliary crank 16 can be reduced by surely preventing the galling phenomenon.

In the above embodiment, the auxiliary crank 16
The eccentricity amount ε 0 due to eccentricity due to the drive shaft 2 is set to be larger than the eccentricity amount ε due to the drive shaft 2 by a half of the radial clearance δ of the slewing bearing 8 that supports the drive shaft 2. Even if the amount ε 0 is slightly larger than the eccentric amount ε due to the drive shaft 2, it is possible to obtain substantially the same action and effect as in the embodiment, and it is preferable that the amount is within half of the radial clearance.

[0035]

As has been described above in detail, according to the calling <br/> light according to claim 1, the auxiliary crank is the axis of the one side shaft portion and the other side shaft
The eccentricity of the axis of the parts, because formed to be larger than the eccentric amount of the drive shaft and the crank portion, when the drive shaft is rotating, to reduce the radial load acting on the auxiliary crank, The galling phenomenon in the auxiliary crank can be reduced.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the amount of eccentricity between the axis line of the one side shaft portion and the axis line of the other side shaft portion due to the auxiliary crank is determined by the radial direction of the orbiting bearing connecting the orbiting scroll and the drive shaft. of to be larger than the eccentric amount by only the drive shaft substantially half clearance, can more reliably reduce the load in the radial direction that acts on the auxiliary crank during the rotation of the drive shaft, further reduces the galling phenomenon of the auxiliary crank, The life of the scroll fluid machine can be reliably extended.
