摘要:
A unique positioning of a discharge tube relative to a pivot axis of a check valve in a compressor reduces the wear and fatigue stresses on the pivoting check valve components. The tube is centered on an axis that is non-perpendicular to an axis that is parallel to the pivot axis of the check valve, and in one embodiment was at 45°. With the inventive positioning of the discharge tube relative to the pivot axis, the flow streamlines heading from the discharge port to the discharge tube are no loner normal to the flapper valve surface, and the amount of wear between moving valve components and fatigue stresses are reduced.

A scroll compressor has a novel slider block with an upper surface that extends for a greater extent than the prior art. By extending this upper surface, the upper surface is better able to withstand wear on the slider block during the life of the scroll compressor.

A scroll compressor is provided with a multiple-speed motor. A control selects a speed for operating the motor, along with selecting between several available options for the system capacity adjustment to meet external load demands in a most efficient and reliable manner. The disclosed embodiment includes an economizer circuit, an unloader function, and an optional suction modulation valve. By utilizing each of these features in combination with the multi-speed motor for the compressor, the present invention is better able to tailor provided capacity to desired capacity.

A scroll compressor includes a scroll member having a base and a generally spiral wrap that extends from the base to define a portion of a compression chamber. The scroll member is made of a cast iron material comprising a microstructure having graphite nodules.

A scroll compressor is provided with spaced grooves in a base of one of the two scroll members. A recess is formed in a wrap tip of the other scroll member. The recess in the wrap tip bridges a space between the grooves of the other scroll member. This bridging equalizes pressure between two parallel intermediate compression chambers. Pressure equalization between the chambers improves compressor efficiency.

A discharge valve is incorporated into a scroll compressor, and in a boss from a non-orbiting scroll. A valve stop is mounted in the boss, and the boss is sealed within an opening in a separator plate. The present invention provides a discharge valve within a scroll compressor having a separator plate while providing a more simplified construction over the prior art.

A method of aligning a crankcase to a non-orbiting scroll includes the steps of forming initial alignment surfaces on both the non-orbiting scroll and the crankcase. Further, when the non-orbiting scroll and the crankcase are machined, precision drilled holes are drilled into each of the two. These holes are drilled relative to datum surfaces on both the non-orbiting scroll and the crankcase. Thus, once the two have been pre-positioned, the precision drilled holes are aligned and a threaded bolt is inserted into the precision drilled holes. The threaded bolt ensures that the two will be radially positioned properly relative to each other.

Low voltage electrical power is supplied to a diagnostic control device in a sealed compressor. Electrical power is tapped from a high voltage power line and transformed to low voltage power that in turn operates the diagnostic control device. The diagnostic control device and the electric voltage transforming system are housed within the sealed compressor shell, thus eliminating the need for additional openings in the compressor shell. Other low voltage devices can be powered in this way.

A lower end cap for a scroll compressor includes a plurality of generally u-shaped surfaces, wherein the u-shaped surfaces have circumferentially spaced gaps. The gaps provide a location for mounting a weld seam from the center shell. The gaps are preferably machined at an outer periphery to provide a guiding surface for the center shell.

An improved Oldham coupling ring is relatively easy to manufacture. Opposed circular arc portions are connected by angled portions to opposed flat portions. The circular arc portions are centered on a common center. As such, the invention is relatively easy to manufacture when compared to prior art systems.
