Abstract

Disclosed herein is an a compressor including a main body, a fixed scroll fixed on the inside of the main body, an orbiting scroll arranged to orbit relative to the fixed scroll, a compressing chamber formed by the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll, an oil supply hole arranged to supply oil to a contact portion formed by the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll, and an oil groove formed on an inner side of the contact portion to be closed to an outer side of the contact portion. The oil groove is extended into the form of an arc by being rotated by about 270 degrees or more along the circumference of the fixed scroll to cover the compressing chamber from the outside of the compressing chamber to supply oil all across the area of the contact portion easier which leads to more reliable operation of the compressor.

Claims (51)

1. A compressor comprising:

a main body;

a fixed scroll fixed on the inside of the main body;

an orbiting scroll arranged to orbit relative to the fixed scroll;

a compressing chamber formed by the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll;

an oil supply hole configured to supply oil to a contact portion formed by the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll; and

an oil groove formed on an inner side of the contact portion to be closed to an outer side of the contact portion,

wherein the oil groove is extended into an arc by being rotated by about 270 degrees or more along a circumference of the fixed scroll to cover the compressing chamber from outside of the compressing chamber;

wherein one end of the oil groove is formed to be adjacent to the oil supply hole, and

an oil supply portion adjacent to the one end of the oil groove that comes into contact with the oil supply hole at least twice while the orbiting scroll orbits; and

wherein the oil groove further comprises an auxiliary oil groove that is extended from a side of the oil supply portion and comes into contact with the oil supply hole at least once while the orbiting scroll orbits.

2. The compressor of claim 1 ,

wherein the auxiliary oil groove comprises at least one bending portion that bends to a side from a direction where the auxiliary oil groove extends from the oil groove.

3. The compressor of claim 2 ,

wherein the auxiliary oil groove is bent to come into contact with the oil supply hole at least twice while the orbiting scroll orbits.

4. The compressor of claim 1 ,

wherein an other end of the oil groove is rotated and extended to a position corresponding to the oil supply portion.

5. The compressor of claim 4 , wherein the oil supply portion comprises a plurality of oil supply portions including a first oil supply portion arranged on the one end of the oil groove and a second oil supply portion formed on the other end of the oil groove and located to correspond to the first oil supply portion.

6. The compressor of claim 5 ,

wherein the oil groove further comprises an incision portion located between the first oil supply portion and the second oil supply portion for cutting the oil groove.

7. The compressor of claim 1 ,

wherein the oil supply hole comprises a plurality of oil supply holes including a first oil supply hole formed on the orbiting scroll and a second oil supply hole formed separately from the first oil supply hole,

wherein the oil groove is formed to come into contact with each of the first oil supply hole and the second oil supply hole at least twice while the orbiting scroll orbits.

8. The compressor of claim 7 ,

wherein the oil groove further comprises an incision portion located between the first oil supply hole and the second oil supply hole for cutting the oil groove.

9. The compressor of claim 1 , further comprising:

a discharging hole formed above the fixed scroll configured to discharge refrigerants compressed by the compressing chamber, and

a valve unit formed above the discharging hole configured to prevent discharged refrigerants from flowing backward to the discharging hole while operation of the compressor is stopped.

10. The compressor of claim 9 , wherein the valve unit comprises

a valve configured to prevent the refrigerants from flowing backward by moving up and down alternately from the discharging hole;

a valve guide configured to guide the valve; and

a buffer member arranged between the discharging hole and the valve.

11. The compressor of claim 10 ,

wherein the valve is configured to move up and down alternately between the valve guide and the buffer member.

12. The compressor of claim 10 , wherein the buffer member comprises a through tube where the refrigerants discharged from the discharging hole pass through.

13. A compressor comprising:

a main body;

a fixed scroll that is fixed on an inside of the main body and has a fixed wrap;

an orbiting scroll that orbits relative to the fixed scroll and includes an orbiting wrap to form a compressing chamber with the fixed wrap;

an oil supply hole configured to supply oil to a contact portion formed by the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll; and

an oil groove formed on an inner side of the contact portion to be closed on the contact portion, one end of the oil groove being adjacent to the oil supply hole, and an other end of the oil groove being rotated and extended to an outer side of the compressing chamber,

wherein a distance between the other end of the oil groove and the oil supply hole is formed to be shorter than a distance between an outer end of the orbiting wrap and the oil supply hole

wherein an oil supply portion adjacent to the one end of the oil groove comes into contact with the oil supply hole at least twice while the orbiting scroll orbits; and

wherein the oil groove further comprises an auxiliary oil groove that is extended from a side of the oil supply portion and comes into contact with the oil supply hole at least once while the orbiting scroll orbits.

14. The compressor of claim 13 ,

wherein the other end of the oil groove is extended by being rotated by about 270 degrees or more with respect to the one end of the oil groove.

15. The compressor of claim 13 ,

wherein the other end of the oil groove is rotated and extended to a position corresponding to an orbit path of the oil supply hole.

16. The compressor of claim 13 , further comprising:

a discharging hole formed above the fixed scroll configured to discharge refrigerants compressed by the compressing chamber, and

a valve unit formed above the discharging hole configured to prevent the discharged refrigerants from flowing backward to the discharging hole while operation of the compressor is stopped.
