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.
- the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a co-rotating scroll compressor with which the life of a synchronization drive mechanism can be extended.

- the synchronization drive mechanism is provided between both side plates and the center plate. 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 synchronization drive mechanism is provided with a crank pin having an eccentric shaft portion having an eccentric axis which is eccentric to a central axis of a central cylindrical portion and a crank pin end portion rolling bearing provided between both end portions of the eccentric shaft portion and the first and second side plates and an urging member urging an inner ring of the crank pin end portion rolling bearing toward a leading edge of the eccentric shaft portion in the eccentric axis direction is provided between the inner ring and the eccentric shaft portion.

- a preload is applied to the crank pin end portion rolling bearing in the eccentric axis direction by the gap between the first side plate and the second side plate.
- the gap between the side plates is narrowed when the second side plate is fastened to the first side plate.

- the fixing portion positioned on a radial inner side of a center of the scroll member has a structure in which a resin portion is interposed
- 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.
- the metallic structure without resin portion interposition is because a rise in temperature attributable to compression heat has little effect on the fixing portion positioned radially outward of the center of the scroll member.

As a result, it is possible to achieve life extension by suppressing a rise in the temperature of the synchronization drive mechanism provided with the crank pin 15 .

Description
- 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.
- [PTL 1] Japanese Patent No. 5443132
- In the co-rotating scroll compressor, 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. Although 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.
- 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.
- In a case where a pin ring or a crank pin provided with a rolling bearing is used as 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. In addition, the lubricant leakage may result in mixing into a compressed fluid and fluid contamination.
- In a case where the 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.
- In a case where the crank pin provided with the rolling bearing is used as the synchronization drive mechanism, 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. In a case where cutting is performed with the crank pin integrated in particular, a crank pin machining error is likely to occur and the internal force that is generated in the crank pin may increase.
- The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a co-rotating scroll compressor with which the life of a synchronization drive mechanism can be extended.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a co-rotating scroll compressor with which the cost of a synchronization drive mechanism can be reduced.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a co-rotating scroll compressor with which the life of a synchronization drive mechanism that is a crank pin mechanism can be extended.
- A co-rotating scroll compressor according to an aspect of the present invention includes a drive-side scroll member driven to rotate around a rotational axis by a drive unit and having a spiral drive-side wall body disposed on a drive-side end plate, a driven-side scroll member in which a spiral driven-side wall body corresponding to the drive-side wall body is disposed on a driven-side end plate and the driven-side wall body meshes with the drive-side wall body to form a compression space, a synchronization drive mechanism transmitting a drive force of the drive unit to the driven-side scroll member 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 first side plate disposed on the rotational axis direction side with respect to the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member, a second side plate fixed at a predetermined gap in the rotational axis direction with respect to the first side plate, and a center plate disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate. The first side plate is fixed to one of the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member. The center plate is fixed to the other of the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member. The synchronization drive mechanism is provided between the first and second side plates and the center plate.
- The compression space is formed by the drive-side wall body disposed on the drive-side end plate of the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side wall body of the driven-side scroll member meshing with each other. The drive-side scroll member is driven to rotate by the drive unit and the drive force is transmitted to the driven-side scroll member via the synchronization drive mechanism. As a result, the driven-side scroll member rotates and performs a rotating motion in the same direction and at the same angular velocity with respect to the drive-side scroll member. Provided in this manner is the co-rotating scroll compressor in which both the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member rotate.
- The first side plate and the second side plate are provided on the rotational axis direction side with respect to the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member and the center plate is provided between the side plates. The synchronization drive mechanism is provided between both side plates and the center plate. 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.
- In the co-rotating scroll compressor according to an aspect of the present invention, the synchronization drive mechanism is provided with a crank pin having an eccentric shaft portion having an eccentric axis which is eccentric to a central axis of a central cylindrical portion and a crank pin end portion rolling bearing provided between both end portions of the eccentric shaft portion and the first and second side plates and an urging member urging an inner ring of the crank pin end portion rolling bearing toward a leading edge of the eccentric shaft portion in the eccentric axis direction is provided between the inner ring and the eccentric shaft portion.
- The crank pin and the crank pin end portion rolling bearing constitute the synchronization drive mechanism and the crank pin end portion rolling bearing rotatably and pivotally supports both end portions of the crank pin with both side plates. The urging member urging the inner ring toward the leading edge of the eccentric shaft portion in the eccentric axis direction is provided between the inner ring of the crank pin end portion rolling bearing and the eccentric shaft portion of the crank pin. The urging member urges the inner ring of the crank pin end portion rolling bearing toward the leading edge, and thus an outer ring is pressed against the side plate via the rolling body of the crank pin end portion rolling bearing. As a result, the crank pin end portion rolling bearing is put into a state where a preload is applied between the eccentric bearing of the crank pin and the side plate, it is possible to prevent slipping between the rolling body and the inner ring and slipping between the inner ring and the eccentric shaft portion, and the life of the synchronization drive mechanism can be extended.
- An O-ring or the like is used as the urging member.
- In the co-rotating scroll compressor according to an aspect of the present invention, the synchronization drive mechanism is provided with a crank pin having an eccentric shaft portion having an eccentric axis which is eccentric to a central axis of a central cylindrical portion and a crank pin end portion rolling bearing provided between both end portions of the eccentric shaft portion and the first and second side plates and a preload is applied to the crank pin end portion rolling bearing in the eccentric axis direction by a gap between the first side plate and the second side plate.
- The crank pin and the crank pin end portion rolling bearing constitute the synchronization drive mechanism and the crank pin end portion rolling bearing rotatably and pivotally supports both end portions of the crank pin with both side plates. A preload is applied to the crank pin end portion rolling bearing in the eccentric axis direction by the gap between the first side plate and the second side plate. As a result, it is possible to prevent slipping between the rolling body of the crank pin end portion rolling bearing and the inner ring and slipping between the inner ring and the eccentric shaft portion and the life of the synchronization drive mechanism can be extended.
- By a specific preload application method, the gap between the side plates is narrowed when the second side plate is fastened to the first side plate. In other words, the gap determined by both side plates being fastened is kept smaller than the gap between both side plates determined by the crank pin end portion rolling bearing and the crank pin of the synchronization drive mechanism.
- In the co-rotating scroll compressor according to an aspect of the present invention, the synchronization drive mechanism is provided with a crank pin having an eccentric shaft portion having an eccentric axis which is eccentric to a central axis of a central cylindrical portion and a crank pin end portion rolling bearing provided between both end portions of the eccentric shaft portion and the first and second side plates and an elastic body is provided between an inner peripheral surface of an inner ring of the crank pin end portion rolling bearing and an outer peripheral surface of the eccentric shaft portion.
- The crank pin and the crank pin end portion rolling bearing constitute the synchronization drive mechanism and the crank pin end portion rolling bearing rotatably and pivotally supports both end portions of the crank pin with both side plates. The elastic body is provided between the inner peripheral surface of the inner ring of the crank pin end portion rolling bearing and the outer peripheral surface of the eccentric shaft portion. As a result, a reaction force is generated by the elastic body sandwiched between the inner ring and the eccentric shaft portion being deformed, slipping between the eccentric shaft portion and the inner ring can be prevented, and the life of the synchronization drive mechanism can be extended.
- In the co-rotating scroll compressor according to an aspect of the present invention, among a fixing portion of the first side plate which is fixed to one of the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member and a fixing portion of the center plate which is fixed to the other of the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member, the fixing portion positioned on a radial inner side of a center of the scroll member has a structure in which a resin portion is interposed, and 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.
- The metallic structure without resin portion interposition is because a rise in temperature attributable to compression heat has little effect on the fixing portion positioned radially outward of the center of the scroll member. As a result, the fixing portion can be accurately assembled by means of metal, and thus the synchronization drive mechanism can be accurately positioned, phase shift reduction can be achieved between the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member, and compression performance improvement can be achieved.
- The co-rotating scroll compressor according to an aspect of the present invention includes a drive-side scroll member driven to rotate around a rotational axis by a drive unit and having a spiral drive-side wall body disposed on a drive-side end plate, a driven-side scroll member in which a spiral driven-side wall body corresponding to the drive-side wall body is disposed on a driven-side end plate and the driven-side wall body meshes with the drive-side wall body to form a compression space, a synchronization drive mechanism transmitting a drive force to the driven-side scroll member 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 first side plate disposed on the rotational axis direction side with respect to the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member, a second side plate fixed at a predetermined gap in the rotational axis direction with respect to the first side plate, and a center plate disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate.

The center plate is fixed to the other of the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member. The synchronization drive mechanism is provided between the first and second side plates and the center plate. A peripheral wall portion surrounding an outer peripheral side of the center plate is provided between the first side plate and the second side plate.
- The compression space is formed by the drive-side wall body disposed on the drive-side end plate of the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side wall body of the driven-side scroll member meshing with each other. The drive-side scroll member is driven to rotate by the drive unit and the drive force is transmitted to the driven-side scroll member via the synchronization drive mechanism. As a result, the driven-side scroll member rotates and performs a rotating motion in the same direction and at the same angular velocity with respect to the drive-side scroll member. Provided in this manner is the co-rotating scroll compressor in which both the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member rotate.
- The first side plate and the second side plate are provided on the rotational axis direction side with respect to the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member and the center plate is provided between the side plates. The synchronization drive mechanism is provided between both side plates and the center plate. The peripheral wall portion surrounding the outer peripheral side of the center plate is provided between the first side plate and the second side plate. As a result, even when the lubricant supplied to the synchronization drive mechanism is moved to the outer peripheral side by a centrifugal force, the lubricant can be held on the inner peripheral side of the peripheral wall portion, and thus an insufficient lubrication of the synchronization drive mechanism can be avoided and life extension can be achieved.
- Usable as the synchronization drive mechanism is, for example, a crank mechanism provided with a crank pin having an eccentric shaft portion having an eccentric axis which is eccentric to a central axis of a central cylindrical portion and a crank pin end portion rolling bearing provided between both end portions of the eccentric shaft portion and the first and second side plates. The rolling bearing is supplied with a lubricant.
- The co-rotating scroll compressor according to an aspect of the present invention further includes a drive shaft portion rotating around the rotational axis and connected between the drive-side end plate and the drive unit. The center plate is fixed to the drive shaft portion. A hole portion for the first side plate through which the drive shaft portion passes is formed in the first side plate. A hole portion for the second side plate through which the drive shaft portion passes is formed in the second side plate. A first seal member is provided between the hole portion for the first side plate and the drive shaft portion and/or between the hole portion for the second side plate and the drive shaft portion.
- The drive shaft portion is provided between the drive-side end plate and the drive unit and the center plate is fixed to the drive shaft portion. As a result, a drive force is transmitted from the drive unit to the drive-side scroll member via the center plate.
- The hole portions through which the drive shaft portion passes are respectively provided in the first side plate and the second side plate. As a result, a gap is inevitably formed between both side plates and the drive shaft portion. The first seal member is provided so as to seal the gap. As a result, it is possible to prevent lubricant leakage from the space between both side plates and the drive shaft portion.
- A boots seal, a labyrinth seal, or the like can be adopted as the first seal member.
- The co-rotating scroll compressor according to an aspect of the present invention further includes a drive shaft portion rotating around the rotational axis and connected between the drive-side end plate and the drive unit. The center plate is fixed to the drive shaft portion. A hole portion for the first side plate through which the drive shaft portion passes is formed in the first side plate. A hole portion for the second side plate through which the drive shaft portion passes is formed in the second side plate. A second seal member is provided between the first side plate and the center plate and/or between the second side plate and the center plate.
- The drive shaft portion is provided between the drive-side end plate and the drive unit and the center plate is fixed to the drive shaft portion. As a result, a drive force is transmitted from the drive unit to the drive-side scroll member via the center plate.
- The hole portions through which the drive shaft portion passes are respectively provided in the first side plate and the second side plate. As a result, a gap is inevitably formed between both side plates and the drive shaft portion. The second seal member is provided between both side plates and the center plate. As a result, it is possible to prevent lubricant leakage from the space between both side plates and the drive shaft portion.
- Adoptable as the second seal member is, for example, a tip seal inserted in a circumferential groove formed in each side plate or the center plate.

- The first side plate is fixed to the drive-side wall body on the outer peripheral side, the second side plate is fixed to the first side plate, and the drive unit is connected to a substantial rotation center of the second side plate. As a result, a drive force is transmitted from the drive unit to the drive-side scroll member via the first side plate and the second side plate.
- The drive force transmitted from both side plates via the synchronization drive mechanism is guided from the center plate to the driven-side scroll member by the center plate being fixed to the driven shaft portion connected to the rotation center of the driven-side end plate.
- The driven shaft portion is disposed so as to pass through the hole portion for the first side plate formed in the first side plate. Since a drive force is transmitted from the center plate to the driven shaft portion via the synchronization drive mechanism, there is no need to form a hole portion for penetration by the driven shaft portion in the rotation center region of the second side plate. Accordingly, it is possible to adopt the second side plate that has a rotation center region closed by a wall portion, and thus lubricant leakage from the rotation center of the second side plate can be prevented.

The first side plate is fixed to one of the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member. The center plate is fixed to the other of the drive-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member. The synchronization drive mechanism is provided with a round bar-shaped pin provided between the first and second side plates and the center plate and a ring guiding the pin by an inner peripheral surface of the ring abutting against an outer periphery of the pin.
- A pin ring mechanism provided with the round bar-shaped pin and the ring is adopted as the synchronization drive mechanism. As a result, it is possible to realize the synchronization drive mechanism without adopting a crank pin mechanism, and thus it is possible to achieve cost reduction without a complex configuration caused by a large number of bearings being adopted as in the case of crank pin mechanisms.
- In the co-rotating scroll compressor according to an aspect of the present invention, the ring is a rolling bearing provided on the center plate and both ends of the pin are press-fitted to the first side plate and the second side plate and a longitudinal central portion of the pin abuts against an inner peripheral surface of the rolling bearing.

- One end of the pin is press-fitted and fixed to one of the side plates and the other end of the pin is fixed to the other of the side plates via the elastic body. As a result, both ends of the pin being incapable of being press-fitted to both side plates due to a component tolerance can be prevented, assembly can be facilitated, and cost reduction can be achieved.

- Two out of the three or more synchronization drive mechanisms have a function as a positioning pin as a configuration in which both ends of the pin are press-fitted and fixed to both side plates. As for the pin of the other synchronization drive mechanism, one end is press-fitted and fixed and the other end is fixed via the elastic body, which results in tolerance absorption. As a result, both side plates can be positioned by means of the synchronization drive mechanism and assemblability improvement can be achieved.

As a result, assemblability improvement can be achieved.
- In the co-rotating scroll compressor according to an aspect of the present invention, the ring is a slide bearing instead of the rolling bearing.

Accordingly, the drive force from the motor 5 is transmitted from thesecond side plate 30 to a drive-side scroll member 50 via thefirst side plate 27. In other words, the driven-side scroll member 90 of the fourth embodiment is the drive side. - A drive force is transmitted from both
side plates center plate 20 via the synchronization drive mechanism provided with thecrank pin 15. A drivenshaft portion 61 d is fixed to thecenter plate 20. The drivenshaft portion 61 d is provided at the rotation center of a first driven-side end plate 61 a of a driven-side scroll member 60.

side plates center plate 20 to the driven-side scroll member 60 by thecenter plate 20 being fixed to the drivenshaft portion 61 d connected to the rotation center of the first driven-side end plate 61 a of the driven-side scroll member 60. The drivenshaft portion 61 d is disposed so as to pass through thehole portion 27 h for the first side plate formed in thefirst side plate 27. Since a drive force is transmitted from thecenter plate 20 to the drivenshaft portion 61 d via the synchronization drive mechanism, there is no need to form a hole portion for penetration by the drivenshaft portion 61 d in the rotation center region of thesecond side plate 30. Accordingly, it is possible to adopt thesecond side plate 30 that has a rotation center region closed by a wall portion, and thus lubricant leakage from the rotation center of thesecond side plate 30 can be prevented. - In addition, there is no need to provide a bearing rotatably supporting the driven
shaft portion 61 d. Accordingly, the drive-side bearing 11 (seeFIG. 9 ) of the fourth embodiment can be omitted and the number of components can be reduced. - Hereinafter, a seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings including
