Compressor

1. A compressor comprising:

a shell;

a compression mechanism disposed within the shell;

a driveshaft drivingly engaged with the compression mechanism;

a motor assembly disposed within the shell and drivingly engaged with the driveshaft, the motor assembly including a rotor and a stator, the stator is fixed relative to the shell, the rotor including an axially extending portion and a radially extending portion, the axially extending portion disposed radially outward relative to the stator, the radially extending portion engaging the driveshaft and disposed axially between the stator and the compression mechanism; and

a stator support member fixed relative to the shell and the stator, the stator support member extending longitudinally through at least a portion of the stator and axially spaced apart from the driveshaft,

wherein the driveshaft includes a fluid passageway in fluid communication with a discharge chamber defined by said shell, and

wherein the compression mechanism includes an orbiting scroll member and a non-orbiting scroll member, the non-orbiting scroll member including a first discharge passage in fluid communication with the discharge chamber, the orbiting scroll member including a second discharge passage in fluid communication with the fluid passageway in the driveshaft.

2. The compressor of claim 1 , further comprising a bearing housing rotatably supporting the driveshaft, wherein the radially extending portion of the rotor is disposed axially between the stator and the bearing housing.

3. The compressor of claim 2 , wherein the radially extending portion of the rotor is attached to a first axial end of the driveshaft.

4. The compressor of claim 3 , wherein a second axial end of the driveshaft drivingly engages the compression mechanism.

5. The compressor of claim 3 , wherein the driveshaft includes an eccentric portion disposed axially between the first axial end of the driveshaft and a second axial end of the driveshaft.

6. The compressor of claim 1 , wherein the stator support member includes a tubular portion that engages the stator and includes a first fluid passageway extending therethrough.

7. The compressor of claim 6 , wherein the stator support member includes a flange portion disposed at an axial end of the tubular portion and extending radially outward from the tubular portion.

8. The compressor of claim 1 , wherein the stator support member includes an aperture, and wherein one or more wires connected to the stator extend through the aperture.

9. The compressor of claim 1 , wherein the radially extending portion of the rotor includes at least one fluid passageway extending therethrough and is disposed radially between the driveshaft and the axially extending portion of the rotor.

10. The compressor of claim 1 , wherein an outer diametrical surface of the axially extending portion of the rotor includes a plurality of fins fixed thereto.

11. The compressor of claim 1 , wherein the compressor is a sumpless compressor that lacks a lubricant sump.

12. A compressor comprising:

a shell;

a compression mechanism disposed within the shell;

a driveshaft drivingly engaged with the compression mechanism;

a bearing housing rotatably supporting the driveshaft;

a motor assembly disposed within the shell and drivingly engaged with the driveshaft, the motor assembly including a rotor and a stator, the stator is fixed relative to the shell, the rotor having a U-shaped cross section including an axially extending portion and a radially extending portion, the axially extending portion disposed radially outward relative to the stator, the radially extending portion engaging the driveshaft and disposed axially between the stator and the bearing housing; and

a stator support member fixed relative to the shell and the stator, the stator support member extending longitudinally through at least a portion of the stator, the stator support member is axially spaced apart from the driveshaft,

wherein the driveshaft includes a fluid passageway in fluid communication with a discharge chamber defined by said shell, and

wherein the compression mechanism includes an orbiting scroll member and a non-orbiting scroll member, the non-orbiting scroll member including a first discharge passage in fluid communication with the discharge chamber, the orbiting scroll member including a second discharge passage in fluid communication with the fluid passageway in the driveshaft.

13. The compressor of claim 12 , wherein the stator support member includes a tubular portion that engages the stator and includes a first fluid passageway extending therethrough.

14. The compressor of claim 13 , wherein the stator support member includes a flange portion disposed at an axial end of the tubular portion and extending radially outward from the tubular portion.

15. The compressor of claim 14 , wherein the stator support member includes an aperture, and wherein one or more wires connected to the stator extend through the aperture.

16. The compressor of claim 15 , wherein the radially extending portion of the rotor includes at least one fluid passageway extending therethrough and disposed radially between the driveshaft and the axially extending portion of the rotor.

17. The compressor of claim 16 , wherein an outer diametrical surface of the axially extending portion of the rotor includes a plurality of fins fixed thereto.

18. The compressor of claim 12 , wherein the compressor is a sumpless compressor that lacks a lubricant sump.
