Compressor having bushing
A compressor includes a non-orbiting scroll, an orbiting scroll, a driveshaft, a bearing housing and a bushing. The non-orbiting scroll includes a first spiral wrap. The orbiting scroll includes an end plate having a first side and a second side. The first side has a second spiral wrap that extends therefrom and meshingly engages with the first spiral wrap of the non-orbiting scroll. The second side has a hub extending therefrom. The driveshaft has a crankpin that is received in the hub and that drives the orbiting scroll. The bushing includes a first member and a second member. The first member is disposed within the hub of the orbiting scroll between the hub and the crankpin of the driveshaft. The second member extends radially from the first member and is disposed between the hub and the bearing housing.
1. A compressor comprising:
a non-orbiting scroll including a first spiral wrap;
an orbiting scroll including an end plate having a first side and a second side, the first side having a second spiral wrap extending therefrom and meshingly engaged with the first spiral wrap of the non-orbiting scroll to create fluid pockets therebetween; the second side having a hub extending therefrom;
a driveshaft having a crankpin received in the hub and driving the orbiting scroll;
a bearing housing;
a bushing including a first member and a second member, the first member disposed within the hub of the orbiting scroll between the hub and the crankpin of the driveshaft, the second member extending radially from an axial end of the first member and disposed between an axial end of the hub and a surface of the bearing housing;
a bearing disposed within the hub of the orbiting scroll between the first member of the bushing and the crankpin of the driveshaft; and
an unloader bushing disposed within the hub of the orbiting scroll between the bearing and the crankpin of the driveshaft.
2. The compressor of claim 1 , wherein the orbiting scroll and the bearing housing cooperate to define a biasing chamber.
3. The compressor of claim 2 , wherein the bearing housing includes an annular recess formed in the surface thereof, and wherein a sealing member is received in the annular recess formed in the surface of the bearing housing.
4. The compressor of claim 3 , wherein the second member extends radially outward from the axial end of the first member.
5. The compressor of claim 4 , wherein the second member of the bushing engages the sealing member to seal the biasing chamber.
6. The compressor of claim 5 , wherein the bearing is a needle bearing.
7. The compressor of claim 5 , wherein a biasing passage is formed in the end plate of the orbiting scroll and provides fluid communication between one of the fluid pockets and the biasing chamber.
8. The compressor of claim 7 , wherein the first member of the bushing is press-fitted to an inner diametrical surface of the hub.
9. The compressor of claim 3 , wherein the second member of the bushing includes a first end portion and a second end portion, and wherein the first end portion extends radially outward from the axial end of the first member and the second end portion extends radially inward from the axial end of the first member.
10. The compressor of claim 9 , wherein one or both of the first and second end portions of the second member engage the sealing member received in the annular recess formed in the surface to seal the biasing chamber.
11. A compressor comprising:
a non-orbiting scroll including a first spiral wrap;
an orbiting scroll including an end plate having a first side and a second side, the first side having a second spiral wrap extending therefrom and meshingly engaged with the first spiral wrap of the non-orbiting scroll to create fluid pockets therebetween; the second side having a hub extending therefrom;
a driveshaft having a crankpin received in the hub and driving the orbiting scroll;
an unloader bushing disposed on the crankpin of the driveshaft within the hub of the orbiting scroll;
a bearing housing including an annular recess formed in a lower surface thereof;
a bushing including a first member and a second member, the first member disposed within the hub of the orbiting scroll between the hub and the unloader bushing, the second member extending radially from an axial end of the first member and disposed between an axial end of the hub and a surface of the bearing housing; and
a bearing disposed within the hub of the orbiting scroll between the first member of the bushing and the crankpin of the driveshaft.
12. The compressor of claim 11 , wherein the orbiting scroll and the bearing housing cooperate to define a biasing chamber.
13. The compressor of claim 12 , wherein a sealing member is received in the annular recess formed in the surface of the bearing housing.
14. The compressor of claim 13 , wherein the second member extends radially outward from an end of the first member.
15. The compressor of claim 14 , wherein the second member of the bushing engages the sealing member to seal the biasing chamber.
16. The compressor of claim 15 , wherein a biasing passage is formed in the end plate of the orbiting scroll and provides fluid communication between one of the fluid pockets and the biasing chamber.
17. The compressor of claim 16 , wherein the bearing is a needle bearing.
18. The compressor of claim 16 , wherein the first member of the bushing is press-fitted to an inner diametrical surface of the hub.
19. The compressor of claim 13 , wherein the second member of the bushing includes a first end portion and a second end portion, and wherein the first end portion extends radially outward from the axial end of the first member and the second end portion extends radially inward from the axial end of the first member.
20. The compressor of claim 19 , wherein one or both of the first end portion and the second end portion engages the sealing member received in the annular recess formed in the surface to seal the biasing chamber.
