Compressor having drive shaft with fluid passages

1. A compressor comprising:

a shell;

a compression mechanism supported within said shell;

a drive shaft engaged with said compression mechanism and defining first and second passages extending axially within said drive shaft and a third passage extending radially through an outer circumferential surface of said drive shaft and in communication with said first and second passages, said drive shaft defining an axially extending wall separating said first and second passages, said drive shaft including a supply passage extending axially through a first axial end of said drive shaft, said first and second passages fluidly communicating with said supply passage and extending axially from said supply passage; and

a motor including a rotor fixed to said drive shaft and a stator supported within said shell, said stator including an upper stator winding and a lower stator winding, said third passage adapted to fling oil onto said upper stator winding during compressor operation to cool said stator, wherein said third passage is aligned in an axial direction with a portion of said upper stator winding, and wherein said oil is travelling radially outwardly when said oil contacts said upper stator winding.

2. The compressor of claim 1 , wherein said second passage terminates within said drive shaft at a location within said drive shaft that is aligned in an axial direction with a portion of said stator.

3. The compressor of claim 1 , wherein said first passage extends from said oil supply passage to a second axial end of said drive shaft.

4. The compressor of claim 1 , wherein said third passage includes an oil outlet axially aligned with said upper stator winding.

5. The compressor of claim 4 , wherein said third passage intersects said first and second passages.

6. The compressor of claim 1 , further comprising a counterweight fixed to said drive shaft at a location circumferentially offset from an oil outlet defined by said third passage.

7. The compressor of claim 1 , wherein the third passage is disposed axially below a lower axial end of a main bearing housing that supports the drive shaft.

8. The compressor of claim 7 , wherein the third passage is disposed axially above the rotor.

9. A compressor comprising:

a shell;

a compression mechanism supported within said shell and including an orbiting scroll and a non-orbiting scroll;

a drive shaft engaged with said orbiting scroll and defining first and second passages extending axially within said drive shaft and a third passage extending radially through an outer circumferential surface of said drive shaft and in communication with said first and second passages, said drive shaft defining an axially extending wall separating said first and second passages, said drive shaft including a supply passage extending axially through a first axial end of said drive shaft, said first and second passages fluidly communicating with said supply passage and extending axially from said supply passage; and

a motor including a rotor fixed to said drive shaft and a stator supported within said shell, said stator including an upper stator winding and a lower stator winding, said third passage adapted to fling oil onto said upper stator winding during compressor operation to cool said stator,

wherein said oil that is flung onto said upper stator winding is shielded from said orbiting scroll as said oil travels from said third passage to said upper stator winding.

10. The compressor of claim 9 , wherein said third passage is aligned in an axial direction with a portion of said upper stator winding, and wherein said oil is travelling radially outwardly when said oil contacts said upper stator winding.

11. The compressor of claim 10 , wherein said third passage is disposed axially above said rotor.

12. The compressor of claim 11 , wherein said third passage is disposed axially below a lower axial end of a main bearing housing that supports said drive shaft.
