Scroll fluid machine
A scroll fluid machine comprises compression chambers defined with an orbiting scroll orbiting relative to a fixed scroll, and a back pressure chamber provided on the face opposite from a wrap of the orbiting scroll. A back pressure port is provided, which is formed in an end-plate of the orbiting scroll and connects from a compression chamber side opening opened to a compression chamber side and to a back pressure chamber side opening opened to a back pressure chamber side. The compression chamber side opening is opened and closed by an end-plate of the fixed scroll according as the orbiting motion of the orbiting scroll to perform connection and blockage of the back pressure port. The flow resistance of fluid flowing in and out between the back pressure chamber and the compression chamber is reduced and the compression efficiency and reliability are improved.
1. A scroll fluid machine comprising an orbiting scroll and a fixed scroll equipped with wraps erected on end-plates, compression chambers defined with the orbiting scroll orbiting in a state of being inhibited from self-turning relative to the fixed scroll, and a back pressure chamber formed on a face of the orbiting scroll opposite from the wrap, the machine further having a back pressure port formed in an end-plate of the orbiting scroll and connecting from a compression chamber side opening opened on a compression chamber side to a back pressure chamber side opening opened on a back pressure chamber side, wherein the compression chamber side opening is opened and closed by the end-plate of the fixed scroll as connection and blockage of the back pressure port is performed according to orbiting motion of the orbiting scroll;
wherein at a starting position of the orbiting scroll of 0° the compression chamber defined on an inner line side of the wrap of the orbiting scroll has finished suction;
wherein when the orbiting scroll is between 270° position and 0° position the compression chamber side opening is opened to the compression chamber so that the compression chamber and the back pressure chamber can communicate with each other;
when the orbiting scroll is between 90° position and 180° position the compression chamber side opening is closed to the compression chamber so that the compression chamber and the back pressure chamber are blocked from each other.
2. A scroll fluid machine according to claim 1 , wherein the outer line side compression chambers formed on an outer line side of the orbiting scroll wrap and the inner line side compression chambers formed on the inner line side of the orbiting scroll wrap differ in suction volume.
3. A scroll fluid machine according to claim 2 , wherein said back pressure chamber side opening is provided on the face of the orbiting scroll opposite from the wrap.
4. A scroll fluid machine according to claim 2 , wherein said back pressure port is connected from a face of the orbiting scroll where the wrap is erected to the opposite face thereof.
5. A scroll fluid machine according to claim 2 , wherein said back pressure port is formed in a straight hole penetrating the orbiting scroll from a face thereof where the wrap is erected to the opposite face.
6. A scroll fluid machine according to claim 2 , wherein said compression chamber side opening is positioned in a range defined from an outermost peripheral part of the orbiting scroll wrap and for a distance of orbiting motion toward an outer peripheral side.
7. A scroll fluid machine according to claim 2 , wherein said back pressure chamber side opening is provided in an outer peripheral side face of the end-plate of the orbiting scroll.
