Abstract

Rotation interception mechanisms ( 10 ) are mounted to intervene between a drive casing ( 22 ) and a substrate ( 60 ) of a movable scroll ( 54 ), and include a binding member ( 11 ) for binding rotation of the movable scroll, a fixed side pin ( 14 ) provided with protrusion in the drive casing to get engaged with the binding member, and a swivel side pin ( 15 ) provided with protrusion in the movable scroll to get engaged with the binding member for being restrained by the binding member and swiveling around a shaft center of the fixed side pin; and load alleviation means ( 54 h ) alleviates a load onto the fixed side pin and the swivel side pin caused by the torque due to the distance between the gravity center (O) and the rotation center (O R ) of the movable scroll and the centrifugal force.

Claims (11)

1. A scroll type hydraulic machine comprising:

a housing having a drive casing and a compression casing;

a drive shaft extending inside the drive casing and rotatably supported by the drive casing through a bearing; and

a scroll unit housed inside the compression casing and executing a series of processes of suction, compression and discharge of refrigerant driven by the drive shaft, wherein the unit comprises a movable scroll that is driven by the drive shaft and implements swivel movement around an orbital center being a shaft center of a stationary scroll; and rotation interception mechanisms disposed in plurality on a substrate side of the movable scroll and for intercepting the operations of the movable scroll around the rotation center without interfering swivel movements of the movable scroll, wherein the respective rotation interception mechanisms are mounted to intervene between the drive casing and the substrate of the movable scroll, and include a binding member for binding rotation of the movable scroll, a fixed side pin provided with protrusion in the drive casing to get engaged with the binding member, and a swivel side pin provided with protrusion in the movable scroll to get engaged with the binding member for being restrained by the binding member and swiveling around the shaft center of the fixed side pin, and further comprises load alleviation means for alleviating loads onto the fixed side pin and the swivel side pin caused by torque due to the distance between the gravity center and the rotation center of the movable scroll and the centrifugal force.

2. The scroll type hydraulic machine according to claim 1 , wherein the load alleviation means is a hole provided to the movable scroll in a position being axisymmetric to a straight line connecting the gravity center to the rotation center, and the swivel side pin is disposed to the hole and thereby a load caused by the torque is alleviated.

3. The scroll type hydraulic machine according to claim 2 , wherein the load alleviation means is a hole provided to the drive casing in a position being axisymmetic to a straight line connecting the gravity center to the orbital center, and the fixed side pin is disposed to the hole and thereby the load caused by torque is alleviated.

4. The scroll type hydraulic machine according to claim 1 , wherein the load alleviating means is a weight alleviation portion disposed in a substrate of the movable scroll at a position closer to the gravity center from the rotation center, and alleviates the load caused by the torque.

5. The scroll type hydraulic machine according to claim 4 , wherein the load alleviating means is weight increasing means disposed in a substrate of the movable scroll at a position on an opposite side against the gravity center side from the rotation center, and alleviates a load caused by the torque.

6. The scroll type hydraulic machine according to claim 1 , wherein the load alleviating means is weight increasing means disposed in a substrate of the movable scroll at a position on an opposite side against the gravity center side from the rotation center, and alleviates a load caused by the torque.

7. The scroll type hydraulic machine according to claim 1 , wherein an eccentric bush protruding from the substrate of the movable scroll toward the drive casing side and being disposed in an eccentric state from the shaft center of the drive shaft is provided with a rotatably supported boss, and

the load alleviation means is a boss disposed in the movable scroll by causing the shaft center of the boss to move from the rotation center toward the gravity center side, and alleviates the load caused by the torque.
