20130004354 | SCROLL COMPRESSOR - A scroll compressor including a fixed scroll having a fixed wrap; and an orbiting scroll having an orbiting wrap engaged with the fixed wrap to form compression chambers, and performing an orbital motion with respect to the fixed scroll, wherein at least one of the fixed wrap and the orbiting wrap has a first constant section, a variable section, and a second constant section consecutively formed in a direction from a wrap final end to a wrap initial end. | 01-03-2013 |
20150044082 | HORIZONTAL TYPE SCROLL COMPRESSOR - A horizontal type scroll compressor includes a main scroll through which a crankshaft is rotatably inserted, the main scroll having a fixed wrap formed on a front surface thereof, and an orbiting scroll coupled to the crankshaft inserted through the main scroll and having an orbiting wrap. A discharge port is formed toward one side surface in an axial direction of the main scroll facing a driving motor. A guide member is coupled to the one side surface of the main scroll, and has a discharge guide portion accommodating the discharge port therein for guiding a refrigerant into the inner space of the casing. This may allow the discharge port to be formed the closest to an axial center, thereby reducing a dead volume and a size of the compressor. Also, with the crankshaft inserted through the fixed wrap and the orbiting wrap, an inclination of the orbiting scroll can be prevented. | 02-12-2015 |
20150086404 | HORIZONTAL TYPE SCROLL COMPRESSOR - A horizontal type scroll compressor includes a motor housing with a driving motor therein, a main scroll coupled to one side of the motor housing and having a fixed wrap for forming compression chambers, an orbiting scroll having an orbiting wrap and coupled to a crankshaft inserted through the main scroll, the orbiting scroll forming a first compression chamber and a second compression chamber on an outer surface and an inner surface of the orbiting wrap while performing an orbiting motion, and a front housing hermetically coupled to the main scroll. With the configuration, the number of components and assembly parts may be reduced, resulting in reduction of fabricating costs. Also, an inclination of the orbiting scroll can be prevented as the crankshaft is inserted through the fixed wrap and the orbiting wrap. | 03-26-2015 |

20080267803 | COMPRESSOR AND OIL SUPPLYING STRUCTURE THEREFOR - A compressor and an oil supplying structure therefor are provided. When a compressor is operated at a high speed or low speed, a predetermined amount of oil is supplied to compression pockets formed between a wrap of an orbiting scroll and a wrap of a fixed scroll. Pressure leakage between the wraps may be prevented, thereby enhancing a performance of the compressor. Further, since friction between the orbiting scroll and the fixed scroll may be prevented, abrasion of the components may be minimized. | 10-30-2008 |
20090196781 | MODE CHANGING APPARATUS FOR A SCROLL COMPRESSOR - A mode changing apparatus for a scroll compressor is provided that may include a low-pressure passage that communicates with a suction side formed by an orbiting motion of an orbiting scroll, an intermediate-pressure passage that communicates with an intermediate-pressure side formed by the orbiting motion of the orbiting scroll, a block assembly mounted at the fixed scroll and having a connection channel that connects the low-pressure passage and the intermediate-pressure passage, a switching device disposed at the block assembly that opens/closes the connection channel, and a pressure supply device that selectively applies, to the block assembly, a discharge gas pressure discharged from the fixed and orbiting scrolls and a suction gas pressure sucked into the fixed and orbiting scrolls, to thereby operate the switching device. With such a simplified structure, the gas compression capacity of a scroll compressor may be varied, enhancing energy efficiency of a system. | 08-06-2009 |
20090208348 | Capacity varying device for scroll compressor - A capacity varying device for a scroll compressor is provided. The device may include a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll both located in a casing, a low pressure passage formed by an orbiting motion of the orbiting scroll that communicates with a suction side, an intermediate pressure passage formed by the orbiting motion of the orbiting scroll that communicates with an intermediate pressure side, a rotating device rotatably coupled to the fixed scroll and having a connection passage therein, and an operating device mounted at the fixed scroll and configured to rotate the rotating device such that the low pressure passage and the intermediate pressure passage are connected/disconnected to/from each other via the connection passage of the rotating device. Accordingly, a capacity for compressing gas may be varied, a size of the device may be reduced due to a compact configuration and structure for varying the capacity, and also a fast response to the varying of the capacity may be provided. | 08-20-2009 |
