Scroll compressor
View Patent ↗A scroll compressor enabling decrease of a flow path loss in a communication groove extending from a suction port toward a suction chamber to decrease a loss of suction power is disclosed. In the scroll compressor, a movable scroll is provided so as to perform a swivel motion relative to a fixed scroll, a fixed scroll lap and a movable scroll lap are engaged with each other to form a suction chamber and compression chambers, a suction port communicating with the suction chamber is formed in the fixed scroll, and a communication groove extending from the suction port toward the suction chamber is formed in the fixed scroll. The communication groove has a shape such that the bottom thereof is inclined so as to become shallower from the suction port side to the suction chamber side.
1. A scroll compressor, comprising spiral scroll laps provided on base plates of a fixed scroll and a movable scroll respectively, the movable scroll mounted so as to perform a swivel motion relative to the fixed scroll, the fixed scroll lap and the movable scroll lap are engaged with each other to form a suction chamber and compression chambers, a suction port communicating with the suction chamber is provided in the fixed scroll, a communication groove on the fixed scroll extending from the suction port to the suction chamber,
a bottom of the communication groove inclining shallowly from the suction port side toward the suction chamber side,
wherein at the time of forming a largest closed space in the compression chamber on an inner line side of a winding end portion of the movable scroll lap, the communication groove is formed in such a manner that an inside end portion thereof extends approximately in conformity with and along the inside of the inner line of the winding end portion.
2. A scroll compressor comprising spiral scroll laps provided on base plates of a fixed scroll and a movable scroll respectively, the movable scroll mounted so as to perform a swivel motion relative to the fixed scroll, the fixed scroll lap and the movable scroll lap are engaged with each other to form a suction chamber and compression chambers, a suction port communicating with the suction chamber is provided in the fixed scroll, a communication groove on the fixed scroll extending from the suction port to the suction chamber,
a bottom of the communication groove inclining shallowly from the suction port side toward the suction chamber side,
wherein winding ends of the fixed scroll and the movable scroll are displaced by approximately 180 degrees from each other, and
wherein largest closed spaces in the compression chambers are formed alternately on an inner line side and an outer line side of a winding end portion of the movable scroll lap, and the communication groove is formed in such a manner that inner and outer end portions thereof extend approximately in conformity with and along the inside of the inner and outer lines of the winding end portion at the time of forming the largest closed spaces in the compression chambers.
3. A scroll compressor comprising spiral scroll laps provided on base plates of a fixed scroll and a movable scroll respectively, the movable scroll mounted so as to perform a swivel motion relative to the fixed scroll, the fixed scroll lap and the movable scroll lap are engaged with each other to form a suction chamber and compression chambers, a suction port communicating with the suction chamber is provided in the fixed scroll, a communication groove on the fixed scroll extending from the suction port to the suction chamber, and
a bottom of the communication groove inclining shallowly from the suction port side toward the suction chamber side, wherein the suction port is formed vertically in the fixed scroll, the bottom of the communication groove is inclined from a side portion of the suction port toward the suction chamber, and a check valve is disposed in the suction port to prevent reverse-flowing of refrigerant gas from the suction chamber when the compressor is OFF.
4. A scroll compressor comprising upright spiral laps provided on base plates of a fixed scroll and a movable scroll respectively, the movable scroll is mounted so as to perform a swivel motion relative to the fixed scroll, the fixed scroll lap and the movable scroll lap are engaged with each other to form a suction chamber and compression chambers, a suction port communicating with the suction chamber is formed in the fixed scroll, and a communication groove extending from the suction port to the suction chamber is formed in the fixed scroll,
wherein winding ends of the fixed scroll and the movable scroll are displaced by approximately 180 degrees from each other, largest closed spaces in the compression chambers are formed alternately on an inner line side and an outer line side of a winding end portion of the movable scroll lap, and the communication groove is formed in such a manner that inner and outer end portions thereof extend approximately in conformity with and along the inside of the inner and outer lines of the winding end portion at the time of forming the largest closed spaces in the compression chambers.
