Abstract

A scroll compressor includes a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll. Shapes of laps of the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll are formed by an asymmetric tooth shape in which orbiting angles of an external line side compression room formed on an external line side of the orbiting scroll lap and an internal line side compression room formed on an internal line side of the orbiting scroll lap in finishing suction differ from each other. A communicating section control groove sets communicating sections communicating the respective inlet side openings of respective fluid outflow paths and a back pressure room. The communicating sections include a first communicating section of an internal line side compression room that is shorter than a second communicating section of an external line side compression room.

Claims (16)

1. A scroll compressor comprising:

a fixed scroll; and

an orbiting scroll, wherein

the scroll compressor configures a suction room and a compression room between the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll by bringing the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll formed by erecting laps in a spiral shape on base plates in mesh with each other, reducing to press a volume of the compression room by moving to orbit the orbiting scroll, and having a back pressure room a pressure of which is higher than a pressure of the suction room on a back face of the base plate of the orbiting scroll,

shapes of the laps of the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll are formed by an asymmetric tooth shape in which orbiting angles of an external line side compression room formed on an external line side of the orbiting scroll lap and an internal line side compression room formed on an internal line side of the orbiting scroll lap in finishing suction differ from each other,

a fluid outflow path for the external line side compression room communicating with the external line side compression room of the orbiting scroll lap, and a fluid outflow path for the internal line side compression room communicating with the internal line side compression room of the orbiting scroll lap are formed on the base plate of the orbiting scroll,

openings on outlet sides of the respective fluid outflow paths open to a lap tooth bottom of the orbiting scroll configuring the compression room,

openings on inlet sides of the respective fluid outflow paths open to a face of the base plate of the orbiting scroll sliding in contact with a sliding face of the base plate of the fixed scroll,

a face of the base plate of the fixed scroll in contact with the base plate of the orbiting scroll is formed with a communicating section control groove that intermittently communicates the respective inlet side openings of the fluid outflow path for the external line side compression room and the fluid outflow path for the internal line side compression room and the back pressure room in accordance with a movement of orbiting the orbiting scroll, and

the communicating section control groove controls the communicating sections communicating the respective inlet side openings of the respective fluid outflow paths and the back pressure room such that a ratio of a time period of communicating the external line side compression room and the back pressure room to a time period of communicating the internal line side compression room and the back pressure room becomes the same as a ratio of an external line length to an internal line length of the lap of the orbiting scroll configuring the respective compression rooms.

2. The scroll compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the back pressure room and the external line side compression room as well as the internal line side compression room are intermittently communicated with each other within a range of the orbiting angle in which pressures of the respective compression rooms become aimed pressure states.

3. The scroll compressor according to claim 2 , wherein the communicating section control groove for intermittently communicating the back pressure room and the external line side compression room, and the communication section control groove for intermittently communicating the back pressure room and the internal line side compression room are formed by a common groove.

4. The scroll compressor according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a motor for moving to orbit the orbiting scroll,

wherein the motor uses a ferrite magnet for a rotor thereof.

5. The scroll compressor according to claim 4 , wherein the scroll compressor is used as a compressor for compressing a refrigerant for refrigeration or air conditioning and an R32 refrigerant is used as the refrigerant.
