Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a scroll compressor.
  • crank shaft includes an oil feed path through which the lubricating oil accumulated in the bottom of the casing is sucked up. The lubricating oil which has passed through the oil feed path is fed to the bearing gap.
  • the lubricating oil may sometimes be discharged to the outside of the casing with a refrigerant gas compressed by a compression mechanism.
  • a refrigerant gas compressed by a compression mechanism if an excessive oil discharge occurs since a large amount of lubricating oil has been discharged to the outside of the casing, the lubricating oil at the bottom of the casing is depleted and oil shortage occurs. As a result, no lubricating oil is fed to the bearing gap.
  • the rotary compressor disclosed in Patent Document 1 is configured such that the lubricating oil flowing down through a bearing gap is collected in an annular groove formed in a crank shaft, and the lubricating oil collected in the annular groove is transferred to a crank chamber through a bearing back-face passage formed in a housing closer to the back face of the bearing such that the lubricating oil is accumulated in the crank chamber.
  • Patent Document 1 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2012-097576
  • the gap between the crank shaft and the bearing is set to be very narrow.
  • the problem is that only a small amount of oil can flow, due to its own weight, into the bearing gap from the crank chamber. This may lead to unsatisfactory lubrication at the sliding portion between the crank shaft and the bearing even in the event of the depletion of the lubricating oil, since the lubricating oil accumulated in the crank chamber cannot be effectively used.
  • a scroll compressor which includes: a casing (11) provided with an oil reservoir (17) at a bottom; a fixed scroll (40) and a movable scroll (35) which are housed in the casing (11); a crank shaft (23) having an upper end portion slidably connected to a boss (38) on a back face of the movable scroll (35); and a housing (50) arranged under the movable scroll (35) and having an upper bearing (62) which rotatably supports the crank shaft (23).
  • the present disclosure provides the following solutions.
  • a first aspect of the present disclosure is characterized in that: the crank shaft (23) is provided with an oil feed path (27) which feeds oil in the oil reservoir (17) to a sliding surface between the boss (38) and the upper bearing (62); the housing (50) is provided with a crank chamber (54) which is a recessed portion of the housing (50) closer to a top surface thereof to house the boss (38) of the movable scroll (35), and the crank chamber (54) being configured to accumulate oil fed to a sliding surface of the crank shaft (23) through the oil feed path (27); the crank shaft (23) is provided, on an outer peripheral surface thereof, with an annular groove (24a) formed at a lower position of a sliding surface with the upper bearing (62) and extending in a circumferential direction of the crank shaft (23) to collect oil fed to the upper bearing (62), and a spiral groove (24b) connecting the crank chamber (54) and the annular groove (24a) to transfer oil collected in the annular groove (24a) to the crank chamber (54); the housing (50)
  • the outer peripheral surface of the crank shaft (23) is provided with an annular groove (24a) and a spiral groove (24b).
  • the annular groove (24a) collects the oil which has been fed to the upper bearing (62).
  • the oil collected in the annular groove (24a) passes through the spiral groove (24b) to be transferred to the crank chamber (54).
  • the housing (50) is provided with a bearing back-face passage (53a) at a position closer to the back face of the upper bearing (62).
  • the bearing back-face passage (53a) connects the crank chamber (54) and the annular groove (24a).
  • This configuration allows continuous lubrication of the sliding portion between the crank shaft (23) and the upper bearing (62) even if oil shortage occurs and no oil is fed to the sliding surface of the crank shaft (23) from the oil reservoir (17) through the oil feed path (27) during rotation of the crank shaft (23).
  • oil is not fed to the upper bearing (62) through the oil feed path (27) if the remaining amount of oil accumulated in the oil reservoir (17) is small. If the crank shaft (23) continues to rotate in this oil shortage state, seizing between the crank shaft (23) and the upper bearing (62) may occur.
  • an aspect of the present disclosure is that if oil shortage occurs and oil feed to the upper bearing (62) through the oil feed path (27) is stopped, the oil accumulated in the crank chamber (54) is fed to the upper bearing (62) from the crank chamber (54) through the bearing back-face passage (53a) and the annular groove (24a) due to a pump effect of the spiral groove (24b).
  • This allows continuous lubrication of the sliding portion between the crank shaft (23) and the upper bearing (62) even after the oil shortage, as long as oil is accumulated in the crank chamber (54). As a result, seizing between the crank shaft (23) and the upper bearing (62) may be reduced.
  • a second aspect of the present disclosure is an embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure.
  • the oil collected in the annular groove (24a) passes through the spiral groove (24b) and the bearing back-face passage (53a) to be transferred to the crank chamber (54).
  • the oil collected in the annular groove (24a) is transferred to the crank chamber (54) not only through the spiral groove (24b), but also through the bearing back-face passage (53a) in a normal operation.
  • the amount of oil that is transferred from the annular groove (24a) to the crank chamber (54) may be increased accordingly.
  • a third aspect of the present disclosure is an embodiment of the first or second aspect of the present disclosure.
  • an inner wall surface of the crank chamber (54) is provided with an auxiliary oil reservoir (57) which is recessed in a radial direction and is capable of accumulating oil together with the crank chamber (54).
  • the oil which has been fed to the sliding surface of the crank shaft (23) can be accumulated not only in the crank chamber (54), but also in the auxiliary oil reservoir (57). This allows continuous lubrication of the sliding portion between the crank shaft (23) and the upper bearing (62) for a longer period of time even after the oil shortage, compared to the case in which oil is accumulated in only the crank chamber (54).
  • a fourth aspect of the present disclosure is an embodiment of the third aspect of the present disclosure.
  • the housing (50) is provided with an oil discharge passage (56) whose upstream end is open to the inner wall surface of the crank chamber (54) at a position away from a bottom surface of the crank chamber (54) by a predetermined distance, and whose downstream end is open to an outside of the housing (50), and the auxiliary oil reservoir (57) is open to the inner wall surface of the crank chamber (54) at a position lower in height than the oil discharge passage (56).
  • the auxiliary oil reservoir (57) is open at a position lower in height than the oil discharge passage (56). This prevents the oil from being discharged from the crank chamber (54) and the auxiliary oil reservoir (57) to the oil discharge passage (56) until the level of the oil accumulated in the crank chamber (54) and the auxiliary oil reservoir (57) reaches the opening position of the upstream end of the oil discharge passage (56). It is therefore possible to accumulate a predetermined amount of oil in the crank chamber (54) and the auxiliary oil reservoir (57).
  • the oil accumulated in the crank chamber (54) is fed to the upper bearing (62) from the crank chamber (54) through the bearing back-face passage (53a) and the annular groove (24a) due to a pump effect of the spiral groove (24b).
  • This allows continuous lubrication of the sliding portion between the crank shaft (23) and the upper bearing (62) even after the oil shortage, as long as the oil is accumulated in the crank chamber (54).
  • seizing between the crank shaft (23) and the upper bearing (62) may be reduced.

This prevents the oil from being discharged from the crank chamber (54) and the auxiliary oil reservoirs (57) to the oil discharge passage (56) until the level of the oil accumulated in the crank chamber (54) and the auxiliary oil reservoirs (57) reaches the opening position of the upstream end of the oil discharge passage (56). It is thus possible to accumulate a predetermined amount of oil in the crank chamber (54) and the auxiliary oil reservoirs (57).
  • auxiliary oil reservoirs (57) are merely examples, and are not limited thereto.
  • Oil feed in normal operation will now be described. As illustrated in FIG. 8 , the oil which has flowed through the oil feed path (27) of the crank shaft (23) and has been fed to the sliding surface of the eccentric portion (25) flows into the crank chamber (54) and the auxiliary oil reservoirs (57). Further, part of the oil which has been fed to the sliding surface between the upper bearing (62) and the main shaft portion (24) flows up into the crank chamber (54) and the auxiliary oil reservoirs (57).
  • the oil collected in the annular groove (24a) passes through the spiral groove (24b) and the bearing back-face passage (53a), and flows into the crank chamber (54) and the auxiliary oil reservoirs (57).
  • the oil starts to be accumulated in the crank chamber (54) and the auxiliary oil reservoirs (57).
  • the oil in the crank chamber (54) and the auxiliary oil reservoirs (57) passes through the oil discharge passage (56) and is discharged to the outside of the housing (50) (see FIG. 5 ).
  • Oil feed in the event of oil shortage will now be described. As illustrated in FIG. 9 , if oil shortage occurs and oil feed to the upper bearing (62) through the oil feed path (27) is stopped, the oil accumulated in the crank chamber (54) and the auxiliary oil reservoirs (57) is fed to the upper bearing (62) through the bearing back-face passage (53a) and the annular groove (24a) from the crank chamber (54) and the auxiliary oil reservoirs (57) due to pump effects of the spiral groove (24b).
  • the oil circulates at the sliding portion between the crank shaft (23) and the upper bearing (62) even after the oil shortage, as long as the oil is accumulated in the crank chamber (54) and the auxiliary oil reservoirs (57). This allows continuous lubrication of the sliding portion, and may reduce seizing between the crank shaft (23) and the upper bearing (62).
  • the present invention produces practical effects, that is, allowing continuous lubrication of a sliding portion between a crank shaft and a bearing even in a situation in which no oil is fed to a sliding surface of the crank shaft through an oil feed path during rotation of the crank shaft.
  • the present invention is therefore very useful with high industrial applicability.
