Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for relieving the compression pressure while starting an internal combustion engine 10. A passage 12 communicates via end openings 22 and 22a between the compression space 13 and the exhaust region 19 in the head 20 of the engine. A spring 16 presses against one side of a piston 15 in a valve 21, holding an end portion 23 away from the opening 22 until the engine speed exceeds the cranking speed. The pressure of the engine's lubricating oil 18 on the opposite side of the piston 15 then forces the end portion 23 against the opening 22, to close the passage 12 and permit the engine to continue running with full compression.

Abstract: A scroll type fluid displacement machine (10) with a housing (12) a fluid inlet port (78) and a fluid outlet port (76) has an annular piston (88) that biases the balls (90) of the ball coupler and the orbital scroll (29) toward the fixed scroll (18) to move the axial tips (40 and 58) of the wraps (34 and 52) into sealing contact with the end plates (30 and 48) when fluid is pumped into the annular chamber (120). A control system (28) is provided to control the axial position of the orbital scroll (20). The control system (28) includes a solenoid valve (176) which directs fluid from a small trigger compressor (174) to the annular chamber (120) to axially move the orbital scroll (20) into sealing contact with the fixed scroll (18). The solenoid valve (176) also directs fluid from the exhaust chamber (42) to the annular chamber (120) to maintain the orbital scroll (20) in sealing contact with the fixed scroll (18). The solenoid valve (176) also directs fluid from the annular chamber (120) to the sump (232) to stop fluid compression by the scrolls (18 and 20).

Abstract: A scroll compressor (10) with a fixed scroll (18) and orbital scroll (20) has an axial thrust and anti-rotation assembly (22), a drive assembly (24), a balance assembly (26) and a control system (28). The drive assembly (24) includes a crankshaft (116) and a bushing assembly (108). The bushing assembly includes a bushing body (146) with a slot (154) journaled on the orbital scroll and a drive lug (150) positioned in the slot and non-rotatably secured to the crankshaft (116). Springs (156) bias the bushing body toward a position in which the axis of the bushing body (178) coincides with the axis (176) of the crankshaft and the crankshaft can rotate without moving the orbital scroll. The bushing body (146) can be moved by compressed fluid to a position in which the springs (156) are compressed, the scroll wraps (34 and 56) are in sealing contact and the drive assembly will drive the orbital scroll in a circular orbit with a radius R.sub.0. The balance assembly includes two weight assemblies (184 and 186) with four weights (192, 196, 210 and 214) that are rotated about the axis of a cylindrical extension (182) in response to movement of the drive lug (150) relative to the bushing body (146) between a position in which the orbital scroll (20) is balanced and a position in which the weights balance themselves when the crankshaft (116) rotates without driving the orbital scroll. The control system (28) includes a trigger compressor (242) and a solenoid valve (246) which directs compressed fluid to the sump (88) when the solenoid valve is open and to the chamber (162) in the bushing assembly (108) when the solenoid valve is closed.

Abstract: A compressor assembly for pumping a recirculating refrigerant including a power input shaft, a power output shaft and a clutch disposed therebetween for translating torque from the power input shaft to the power output shaft. The clutch includes a solenoid for generating an electromagnetic force and an actuator including input friction plates mounted for rotation with the input shaft and output friction plates mounted for rotation with the output shaft. The input and output friction plates are adapted for frictional engagement to translate torque between the input and output shafts. The actuator is responsive to the electromagnetic force to initially move along the axis of the input shaft thereby bringing the input and output friction plates into engagement to translate torque between the input and output shafts to actuate the compressor assembly so as to produce a refrigerant discharge pressure. The actuator is further responsive to the discharge pressure to develop a greater force between the input and output friction plates thereby bringing about full torque translation between the input and output shafts.

Abstract: An assembly for providing socket plate torque restraint for a variable displacement wobble plate refrigerant compressor includes a non-rotary cross groove joint. The joint has a cylindrical outer race, a cylindrical inner race, slightly angled helical grooves in the races, a plurality of torque receiving balls and a cage for properly maintaining and positioning the balls in the cooperating grooves for operation. The joint is connected to a fixed anti-rotational shaft. The shaft is in the form of a sleeve and forms the inner race to effect torque restraint, but at the same time allow for translational axial motion of the socket plate. Radial and thrust bearings mount said socket plate relative to the rotary hub/journal. Lubricating fluid carried by the gaseous refrigerant lubricates the grooves and is then transferred by a passage extending from the grooves in the outer race to the radial/thrust bearings. The cross groove joint provides the ideal kinematic restraint action for the socket plate; the grooves on said inner and outer races and said cage effectively maintaining the balls situated substantially in a single torque transmitting plane that defines and bisects the joint angle. The joint effectively transmits the restraining torque of the joint to the anti-rotational shaft in a manner effective to substantially eliminate torsional vibration.
