Abstract:
A scroll compressor according to the present invention includes a casing, an orbiting member provided within the casing and performing an orbiting motion, a non-orbiting member forming a compression chamber together with the orbiting member, the compression chamber having a suction chamber, an intermediate pressure chamber and a discharge chamber, a communication passage configured to bypass a refrigerant of the compression chamber into the casing, an opening/closing valve assembly configured to open and close the communication passage, and a switching valve assembly configured to operate the opening/closing valve assembly, the switching valve assembly being provided outside the casing and connected to the opening/closing valve assembly, whereby an installation of the bypass hole can result in prevention of over-compression and an installation of a control valve for varying a capacity outside the casing can result in reduction of costs for the control valve.
Abstract:
A scroll compressor according to the present invention includes a casing, an orbiting member provided within the casing and performing an orbiting motion, a non-orbiting member forming a compression chamber together with the orbiting member, the compression chamber having a suction chamber, an intermediate pressure chamber and a discharge chamber, a communication passage communicating inside and outside of the compression chamber with each other, an opening/closing valve assembly provided outside the non-orbiting member within the casing and opening and closing the communication passage, and a switching valve assembly provided within the casing and operating the opening/closing valve assembly, whereby a facilitated fabrication, improved valve responsiveness and a relaxed restriction for a specification of a valve can be achieved, and also an over-compression can be prevented by an installation of a check valve, and an assembling efficiency can be improved by installing two valve assemblies outside the non-orbiting member.
Abstract:
A scroll compressor according to the present invention includes a casing having a hermetic inner space divided into a low pressure portion and a high pressure portion, an orbiting scroll disposed within the inner space of the casing and performing an orbiting motion, a non-orbiting scroll forming a compression chamber together with the orbiting scroll, the compression chamber having a suction chamber, an intermediate pressure chamber and a discharge chamber, a back pressure chamber assembly coupled to the non-orbiting scroll to form a back pressure chamber, a valve accommodation groove formed on at least one of the non-orbiting scroll or the back pressure chamber assembly, a bypass hole formed from the intermediate pressure chamber into the valve accommodation groove in a penetrating manner, a check valve accommodated in the valve accommodation groove and opening and closing the bypass hole according to pressure of the intermediate pressure chamber, a communication passage communicating the valve accommodation groove and the low pressure portion with each other, and a control valve selectively opening and closing the communication passage, whereby a facilitated fabrication, improved responsiveness and relaxed restriction for a specification of a valve can be achieved.
Abstract:
A sealing member, a scroll compressor, and a method for manufacturing a sealing member for a scroll compressor are provided. The scroll compressor may include a casing in which a rotational shaft may be provided, a discharge cover fixed to an inside of the casing to partition the inside of the casing into a suction space and a discharge space, a first scroll revolved by rotation of the rotational shaft, a second scroll provided on the first scroll to define a plurality of compression chambers together with the first scroll, the second scroll having an intermediate pressure discharge hole that communicates with a compression chamber of the plurality of compression chambers having an intermediate pressure, a back pressure plate provided on the second scroll, the back pressure plate having an intermediate pressure suction hole that communicates with the intermediate pressure discharge hole, a floating plate movably provided at a side of the back pressure plate to define a back pressure chamber together with the back pressure plate, and a sealing member provided between a surface of the back pressure plate and a surface of the floating plate to prevent a refrigerant from leaking from the back pressure chamber. The sealing member may include a sealing body, and at least one protrusion provided at an incline with respect to a central line that extends in a horizontal direction of the sealing body.
