Abstract: A compressor is provided which is configured to allow lubrication of a thrust surface through an oil groove formed in a thrust surface of a fixed scroll. Also, a scroll compressor is provided which smoothly supplies oil to a thrust surface of a fixed scroll by including a fixed scroll having an oil groove formed in the thrust surface of a fixed scroll sidewall, and allows an injection pressure acting on an orbiting scroll in an upward direction to be added by supplying the oil guided to the oil groove to the thrust surface of the fixed scroll such that an overturn moment generated in the orbiting scroll may be offset.

Abstract: A compressor is provided. The compressor may include a fixed wrap, and an orbiting scroll having an orbiting wrap engaged with the fixed wrap to form compression chambers. The fixed wrap and the orbiting wrap may have irregular wrap curves. At least one interference avoiding portion at which a spacing between the wraps is greater than an orbiting radius or at least one gap compensating portion at which the spacing between the wraps is smaller than the orbiting radius, in a state in which a center of the fixed scroll and a center of the orbiting scroll are aligned with each other, may be provided on a sidewall surface of the fixed wrap or the orbiting wrap, whereby frictional loss or abrasion due to interference between the wraps or a refrigerant leakage due to a gap between the wraps may be prevented.

Abstract: A co-rotating scroll compressor is provided in which a bearing configured to support a scroll is displaced by a torque repulsive force, which is applied to the bearing due to compression repulsion of a compressed fluid, the torque repulsive force is converted into a sealing force of compression chambers, which are defined by wraps of co-rotating scrolls such that the sealing force of the compression chambers is increased, and in which a bearing housing is rotatably installed in a housing accommodation hole, a rotational center of a second scroll is positioned at a position eccentric from a rotational center of a bearing housing, the bearing housing is rotated by the torque repulsive force applied to the second scroll, some of the torque repulsive force is converted into the sealing force against a sealing disturbing force.

Abstract: A compressor is provided having an integrated flow path structure in which an oil flow path and an intermediate pressure flow path are integrated into one in a compression unit, thereby simplifying a flow path of the compression unit. The compressor may include at least one integrated flow path in which the oil flow path and the refrigerant gas flow are integrated into one in a fixed scroll. The at least one integrated flow path may connect an intermediate pressure chamber and a compression chamber in a compressors unit. The at least one integrated flow path may provide a compressed refrigerant in the compression chamber to the intermediate pressure chamber and provide oil in the intermediate pressure chamber to the compression chamber, simplifying the flow path of the compression unit.

Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided that may include an orbiting scroll having an orbiting wrap, and which performs an orbiting motion; and a fixed scroll having a fixed wrap to form a compression chamber including a suction chamber, an intermediate pressure chamber, and a discharge chamber, by being engaged with the orbiting wrap. In a state in which the orbiting scroll and the fixed scroll are concentric with each other, when a distance between the orbiting wrap and the fixed wrap is defined as an orbiting radius, there exists an offset section having an interval larger than the orbiting radius, between a side surface of the orbiting wrap and a side surface of the fixed wrap which faces the orbiting wrap. With such a configuration, even if the fixed scroll or the orbiting scroll is transformed due to thermal expansion, interference between the fixed wrap and the orbiting wrap at a portion having a large transformation amount may be prevented. This may prevent a frictional loss or abrasion between the fixed wrap and the orbiting wrap. Further, this may restrict or minimize a gap between the fixed wrap and the orbiting wrap at an opposite side to the suction chamber, resulting in enhanced compression efficiency.

Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided that may include a casing; a drive motor; a fixed scroll that forms a compression space by being coupled to the orbiting scroll; and a discharge cover provided at an inner space of the casing, the discharge cover having a space that communicates with the compression space and separated from the inner space of the casing, and having one or more discharge hole on a side surface thereof, the one or more discharge hole providing communication between an inside and an outside of the space. With such a configuration, vibration noise of the scroll compressor may be more reduced in comparison with a case in which an oil separator is provided outside of the casing. Further, as an area of the one or more discharge hole and a volume of the space are optimized, efficiency of the scroll compressor may be enhanced.
