Scroll compressor with step
In a scroll compressor that forms two suction volume parts by engaging paired fixed scroll and turning scroll with each other while scroll laps respectively erected on end plates of the fixed scroll and the turning scroll are opposed to each other and driving the turning scroll to revolve around the fixed scroll, out of the two suction volume parts, one of the suction volume parts that is formed close to a suction port provided in a housing is made larger than the other suction volume part.
1. A scroll compressor that forms two suction volume parts by engaging paired fixed scroll and turning scroll with each other while scroll laps are opposed to each other and driving the turning scroll to revolve around the fixed scroll, the scroll laps being respectively erected on end plates of the fixed scroll and the turning scroll, wherein
a crank shaft that turns the turning scroll is provided,
each of the fixed scroll and the turning scroll includes step parts at respective predetermined positions, along a spiral direction, of a tooth crest and a bottom land of the scroll lap, and
out of the two suction volume parts, one suction volume part that is formed close to a suction port providing in a housing is made larger than the other suction volume part by making a height of the step part of the tooth crest of one of the fixed scroll and the turning scroll forming the suction volume part higher than a height of the step part of the tooth crest of the other scroll.
2. A scroll compressor that forms two suction volume parts by engaging paired fixed scroll and turning scroll with each other while scroll laps are opposed to each other and driving the turning scroll to revolve around the fixed scroll, the scroll laps being respectively erected on end plates of the fixed scroll and the turning scroll, wherein
a crank shaft that turns the turning scroll is provided,
one of the fixed scroll and the turning scroll includes a step part only at a predetermined position, along a spiral direction, of a bottom land of the scroll lap,
the other scroll includes a step part only at a predetermined position, along a spiral direction, of a tooth crest of the scroll lap, the predetermined position corresponding to the step part on the bottom land, and
out of the two suction volume parts, one suction volume part that is formed close to a suction port is made larger than the other suction volume part by adding, only to the one suction volume part, a volume that is formed by the step part on the tooth crest of the scroll lap of the other scroll.
3. A scroll compressor that forms two suction volume parts by engaging paired fixed scroll and turning scroll with each other while scroll laps are opposed to each other and driving the turning scroll to revolve around the fixed scroll, the scroll laps being respectively erected on end plates of the fixed scroll and the turning scroll, wherein
a crank shaft that turns the turning scroll is provided,
each of the fixed scroll and the turning scroll includes step parts at respective predetermined positions, along a spiral direction, of a tooth crest and a bottom land of the scroll lap, and
out of surface areas of the both scrolls forming the two suction volume parts, a surface area of the end plate of the turning scroll is made larger than a surface area of the end plate of the fixed scroll by making a height of the step part provided on the bottom land of the turning scroll higher than a height of the step part provided on the bottom land of the fixed scroll, the turning scroll being disposed to face a suction region of low-temperature refrigerant gas sucked through a suction port provided in a housing.
