Abstract:
A compressor according to embodiments of the present disclosure comprises a discharge valve which is provided so as to be coupled to a fixed scroll and open/close a discharge hole. The discharge valve includes a coupling portion which is coupled to one surface of the fixed scroll, the surface facing a muffler, and a head portion extending from the coupling portion and opening/closing the discharge hole. The head portion may be provided with a communicating hole for allowing the discharge hole and the muffler to be in communication with each other. Accordingly, a backflow of a compressed refrigerant is prevented during the operation of the compressor, and thus over-compression of the refrigerant can be prevented. Also, when the compressor stops operating, only a certain amount of the discharged refrigerant is allowed to flow backward to prevent a reverse rotation of an orbiting scroll and a decrease in the oil level of the oil stored in a case.
Abstract:
A scroll compressor includes a casing having an oil storage space, a fixed scroll disposed inside the casing, an orbiting scroll disposed on one side of the fixed scroll and performing an orbiting motion relative to the fixed scroll so as to form a compression chamber, a discharge cover coupled to another side opposite to the one side of the fixed scroll and having a cover bottom surface, and an oil feeder coupled to the cover bottom surface to face a direction opposite to the fixed scroll, to communicate with the oil storage space. The cover bottom surface is disposed at an inner side of an inner circumference of the oil feeder and defines a discharge hole to communicate with the inner side of the oil feeder.
Abstract:
A scroll compressor includes oil in an oil storage space that is brought into direct contact with and stirred with a discharge refrigerant. The scroll compressor includes a fixed scroll, an orbiting scroll coupled to one side of the fixed scroll, and a discharge cover coupled to another side of the fixed scroll and provided with a muffler hole communicating with a refrigerant discharge space and the oil storage space.
Abstract:
An oil detecting device for a compressor and a compressor including an oil detecting device are provided. A casing in which oil is received has a plurality of capillary tubes in an inner space of the casing, and a condition of oil is detected on the basis of a result of a measured pressure from the plurality of capillary tubes.
Abstract:
A linear compressor includes a cylinder that defines a compression chamber configured to accommodate refrigerant and that includes a cylinder nozzle configured to receive refrigerant, and a piston provided in the cylinder and configured to be pressed by refrigerant in the cylinder. The piston includes a piston body configured to move forward and backward within the cylinder, a piston front part located on a front surface of the piston body, the piston front part comprising a suction port through which refrigerant is supplied into the compression chamber, and a refrigerant collection part that is recessed from an outer circumferential surface of the piston front part, that extends to a front surface of the piston front part, and that is configured to receive at least a portion of refrigerant compressed in the compression chamber.
Abstract:
A hermetic compressor according to the present disclosure may include an oil guide disposed on a rotating shaft between a driving motor and a main frame, the oil guide may include an oil block surrounding a main bearing surface between the main frame and the rotating shaft, and one end of the oil block may radially overlap a shaft support protrusion of the main frame. This can suppress oil returned after lubricating a compression unit from being scattered, thereby reducing a leakage of the oil to outside of a casing through a refrigerant discharge pipe.
Abstract:
A fluid compressor is provided. The fluid compressor includes a case including an inlet configured to introduce fluid to be compressed, a compression unit including a compression chamber configured to compress the fluid introduced into the case, and a discharge port configured to discharge the compressed fluid to the outside of the compression chamber, a motor configured to drive the compression unit, and a valve configured to open and close the discharge port. The valve includes a fastening portion coupled to the compression unit to be spaced a first distance from the discharge port.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a scroll compressor. A scroll compressor according to the present embodiment comprises a rotational shaft, wherein the rotational shaft comprises: a first frame support part having an inner circumferential surface portion, into which a boss part of a first scroll is inserted, and an outer circumferential surface portion for forming an outer surface thereof; and a guide hole penetrating from the inner circumferential surface portion toward the outer circumferential surface portion.
Abstract:
A bush bearing and a scroll compressor including a bush bearing are provided. A boss of an orbiting scroll may be inserted into and coupled to a boss coupling groove of a rotational shaft, and thus, an outer circumferential surface of a bush bearing may wholly contact an inner circumferential surface of the boss coupling groove, thereby decreasing wear of the bush bearing. Further, friction loss in the bush bearing may be reduced, and thus, compression efficiency and reliability may be enhanced, noise may be reduced, and material costs may be reduced. Furthermore, despite that the bush bearing is formed in a ring shape and press-fitted to the boss, as the bush bearing may be formed of a plastic material having an ether ketone bonding in consideration of a thermal expansion rate, an elongation, and a press-fit range, the bush bearing may be effectively prevented from being detached from the boss, thereby enhancing a reliability of a compressor.
Abstract:
A scroll compressor is provided in which a boss of an orbiting scroll is inserted into and coupled to a boss coupling recess of a crank shaft, so that friction loss of a bearing portion of the crank shaft may be reduced, compression efficiency and reliability of the compressor may be enhanced, and noise and material costs may be reduced. A bush bearing may be formed as a coating on the boss of the orbiting scroll, so that a thickness of the bearing portion of the crank shaft may be reduced. Since an outer circumferential surface of the bearing portion is in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the boss coupling recess, damage to the bearing portion may be prevented.
