Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure relates to a scroll compressor.
- A scroll compressor has been known as a compressor that compresses sucked fluid (for example, refrigerant) and discharges the fluid. In the scroll compressor, a compression chamber is formed by a fixed scroll and a movable scroll meshing with each other. The scroll compressor includes a drive shaft extending in the up-down direction in the compressor. PTL 1 discloses a scroll compressor in which an in-shaft oil supply passage and an in-shaft oil drainage passage are formed in the inside of the drive shaft.
- PTL 1:
Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2018-21493 - In the scroll compressor of PTL 1 mentioned above, the in-shaft oil supply passage and the in-shaft oil drainage passage are formed to extend from the upper end to the lower end in the drive shaft in the axial direction. An inflow port of the in-shaft oil drainage passage opens at a position that deviates from the shaft center of the drive shaft outwardly in the radial direction. Therefore, there is a problem that, when the drive shaft rotates, oil is moved to the outer side of the inflow port due to the centrifugal force thereof, and the oil does not easily enter the in-shaft oil drainage passage.
- An object of the present disclosure is to cause oil to easily enter an in-shaft oil drainage passage.
- A first aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a scroll compressor and characterized by the following configurations. This scroll compressor (10) includes a casing (20), an electric motor (60) accommodated in the casing (20), a drive shaft (40) configured to be driven by the electric motor (60), a compression mechanism (30) coupled to the drive shaft (40), and a housing (50) disposed below the compression mechanism (30) and fixed to the casing (20). A bottom portion of the casing (20) is provided with a storage portion (26) configured to store oil. The drive shaft (40) has a main shaft (41) and an eccentric shaft (42) provided at an upper end of the main shaft (41). The compression mechanism (30) has a movable scroll (35) that has a boss portion (38) to which the eccentric shaft (42) is fitted and a fixed scroll (31) that meshes with the movable scroll (35). The housing (50) includes a chamber (55) that accommodates the boss portion (38). A lower end of the main shaft (41) is provided with a pump (80) configured to transport the oil of the storage portion (26).
- The drive shaft (40) is provided with a first oil flow passage (46) that extends on a shaft center of the main shaft (41) in an axial direction of the drive shaft and that has an inflow hole (46b) opening in an upper end surface (42a) of the eccentric shaft (42), and a second oil flow passage (45a) that extends at a periphery of the first oil flow passage (46) in the axial direction and that has an annular cross-section. The second oil flow passage (45a) constitutes an oil supply path in which oil that has been transported by the pump (80) is supplied to at least a sliding portion (43) between the boss portion (38) and the eccentric shaft (42). A third oil flow passage (47) in which oil that has flowed out from the sliding portion (43) to the chamber (55) is sent to the inflow hole (46b) of the first oil flow passage (46) is further included. The first oil flow passage (46) constitutes an oil drainage path in which oil that has flowed in through the inflow hole (46b) is returned to the storage portion (26).
- In the first aspect, the first oil flow passage (46) and the inflow hole (46b) thereof are present on the shaft center of the drive shaft (40). Consequently, a centrifugal force along with the rotation of the drive shaft (40) does not easily act on the oil near the inflow hole (46b). Therefore, according to this aspect, it is possible to cause oil to easily enter the inflow hole (46b) of the first oil flow passage (46).
- A second aspect of the present disclosure is the first aspect in which the drive shaft (40) has a vertical hole (40a) that extends in the axial direction and that opens at at least an upper end of the drive shaft (40), a pipe (90) that is disposed on a shaft center of the drive shaft (40) in the vertical hole (40a) and that extends in the axial direction is included, the first oil flow passage (46) is formed in an inside of the pipe (90), and the second oil flow passage (45a) is formed between an inner peripheral surface of the vertical hole (40a) and an outer peripheral surface of the pipe (90).
- In the second aspect, it is possible, by providing the pipe (90) disposed on the shaft center of the drive shaft (40) in the vertical hole (40a) formed in the drive shaft (40), to easily form the first oil flow passage (46) and the second oil flow passage (45a).
- A third aspect of the present disclosure is the second aspect in which an annular upper cover (45e) that closes a gap between an inner peripheral surface of an upper end portion of the vertical hole (40a) and an outer peripheral surface of an upper end portion of the pipe (90) is included.
- In the third aspect, due to the upper end portion of the second oil flow passage (45a) being closed by the annular upper cover (45e), it is possible to suppress oil leakage in the second oil flow passage (45a).
- A fourth aspect of the present disclosure is the second or third aspect in which the vertical hole (40a) passes through the drive shaft (40) in the axial direction, a lower cover (45f) that closes a lower end of the vertical hole (40a) is included, and the lower cover (45f) includes a through passage (45i) that causes a discharge side of the pump (80) and the second oil flow passage (45a) to be in communication with each other.
- In the fourth aspect, due to the vertical hole (40a) being formed to pass through the drive shaft (40) with the lower end of the vertical hole (40a) being closed by the lower cover (45f), it is possible to send oil that has been transported by the pump (80) to the second oil flow passage (45a) via the through passage (45i) of the lower cover (45f) .
- A fifth aspect of the present disclosure is any one of the second to fourth aspects in which a connection member (100) that has a connecting port (101) and an internal flow passage (102) is included, the connecting port (101) being connected to a lower end of the pipe (90), the internal flow passage (102) extending from the connecting port (101) outwardly in a radial direction, and an outflow hole (40c) in communication with the internal flow passage (102) is formed in a peripheral wall (40b) of the vertical hole (40a) in the drive shaft (40).
- In the fifth aspect, the oil that has flowed in the first oil flow passage (46) passes through the connecting port (101) of the connection member (100) and flows into the internal flow passage (102). The internal flow passage (102) extends outwardly in the radial direction. Therefore, when a centrifugal force acts on the oil in the internal flow passage (102) along with the rotation of the drive shaft (40), the oil in the internal flow passage (102) is moved outwardly in the radial direction and drained through the outflow hole (40c). Consequently, it is possible to transfer the oil of the first oil flow passage (46) to the storage portion (26) by using the centrifugal force of the drive shaft (40).
- A sixth aspect of the present disclosure is any one of the first to fifth aspects in which the housing (50) is provided with a first bearing (52a) that supports the main shaft (41), and the drive shaft (40) is provided with a first oil supply hole (45b) extending from the second oil flow passage (45a) outwardly in a radial direction and through which oil is supplied to the first bearing (52a).
- In the sixth aspect, it is possible to supply the oil in the second oil flow passage (45a) to the first bearing (52a) through the first oil supply hole (45b) by using a centrifugal force. Since the second oil flow passage (45a) is a flow passage having an annular cross-section, the first oil supply hole (45b) can be provided at any position in the circumferential direction of the drive shaft (40).
- A seventh aspect of the present disclosure is the sixth aspect in which a support (70) having a second bearing (72a) that supports a lower portion of the main shaft (41) is included, and the drive shaft (40) is provided with a second oil supply hole (45c) extending from the second oil flow passage (45a) outwardly in the radial direction and through which oil is supplied to the second bearing (72a).
- In the seventh aspect, it is possible to supply the oil in the second oil flow passage (45a) to the second bearing (72a) through the second oil supply hole (45c) by using a centrifugal force. Since the second oil flow passage (45a) is a flow passage having an annular cross-section, the second oil supply hole (45c) can be provided at any position in the circumferential direction of the drive shaft (40).
- An eighth aspect of the present disclosure is any one of the first to seventh aspects in which the third oil flow passage (47) is formed in an inside of the movable scroll (35), and an outflow port (47c) of the third oil flow passage (47) and the inflow hole (46b) of the first oil flow passage (46) overlap each other in the axial direction.
- In the eighth aspect, it is possible to cause the oil that has flowed out downwardly through the outflow port (47c) of the third oil flow passage (47) to easily enter the inflow hole (46b) of the first oil flow passage (46).
- A ninth aspect of the present disclosure is any one of the first to eighth aspects in which a concave portion (42b) is formed on an upper end surface of the eccentric shaft (42), and the inflow hole (46b) of the first oil flow passage (46) is formed at a bottom of the concave portion (42b) .
- In the ninth aspect, the oil that has flowed out from the third oil flow passage (47) can be caught in the concave portion (42b). The oil caught in the concave portion (42b) flows into the first oil flow passage (46) through the inflow hole (46b).

The upper projecting portion (83) of the pump (80) is fitted to the through passage (45i) at the lower stage portion (45h) of the lower cover (45f). Consequently, when the drive shaft (40) rotates, the rotational force thereof is transmitted to the upper projecting portion (83) of the pump (80) via the lower cover (45f), and the pump (80) is operated. The through passage (45i) causes the discharge side of the pump (80) and the main oil supply passage (45a) to be in communication with each other. The oil supplied from the pump (80) flows into the through passage (45i) in the lower cover (45f) via the inside of the upper projecting portion (83) of the pump (80).

The main shaft (41) of the drive shaft (40) is rotatably supported by the inner periphery of the lower-side part of the housing (50). A concave portion (51) that is recessed downward is formed at the upper-side part of the housing (50), and the concave portion (51) constitutes a crank chamber (55) that accommodates the boss portion (38) of the movable scroll (35). A main bearing portion (52) that passes through the housing (50) in the axial direction and that is in communication with the crank chamber (55) is formed at the lower-side part of the housing (50).

- As illustrated in
Fig. 2 , an oil connection chamber (85) is constituted between the upper end surface (the upper end surface of the eccentric shaft (42)) of the drive shaft (40) and the back surface (lower surface) of the movable-side panel portion (36) (refer toFig. 2 ). A gap between the upper end surface of the drive shaft (40) and the back surface of the movable-side panel portion (36) constitutes the oil connection chamber (85). - As illustrated in
Fig. 6 , at the movable-side panel portion (36) of the movable scroll (35), an oil-drainage-side communication passage (47) (third oil flow passage) that is a passage passing through the inside of the movable-side panel portion (36) is formed. The oil-drainage-side communication passage (47) is for sending oil that has flowed out to the crank chamber (55) from the sliding portion (43), to the inflow hole (46b) of the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46). This oil-drainage-side communication passage (47) has a communication passage (47a) that is in communication from the outer edge of the movable-side panel portion (36) to the center of the boss portion (38) in the radial direction, an inflow port (47b) that opens toward the crank chamber (55), an outflow port (47c) that opens in the lower surface of the movable-side panel portion (36) at the center of the boss portion (38), and a plug (47d) that closes an end portion of the communication passage (47a) on the outer side in the radial direction. The outflow port (47c) is formed to overlap the inflow hole (46b) of the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) in the axial direction of the drive shaft (40). Specifically, the outflow port (47c) of the oil-drainage-side communication passage (47) performs, along with turning of the movable scroll (35), a turning movement by an amount of eccentricity (that is, turning radius) between the shaft center of the main shaft (41) and the shaft center of the eccentric shaft (42). The inflow hole (46b) of the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) is present on the shaft center of the main shaft (41). The inflow hole (46b) thus does not perform a turning movement even when the movable scroll (35) turns. In a predetermined eccentric angle range during turning of the movable scroll (35), the outflow port (47c) and the inflow hole (46b) of the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) overlap each other in the axial direction. - The drive shaft (40) is provided with a seal portion (44) for suppressing oil leakage.
- The seal portion (44) is provided at the upper end of the sliding portion (43) between the boss portion (38) of the movable scroll (35) and the eccentric shaft (42) of the upper end portion of the drive shaft (40).
- A balance weight (49) is mounted to the drive shaft (40). The balance weight (49) is constituted by an annular portion (49a) fitted and fixed to the drive shaft (40), and an arc-shaped peripheral wall portion (49b) formed integrally with the annular portion (49a).
- A main bearing oil drainage passage (87) is formed in the housing (50). The main bearing oil drainage passage (87) is an oil passage for draining the oil of a sliding portion between the slide bearing (52a) of the main bearing portion (52) and the main shaft (41) of the drive shaft (40) to the crank chamber (55). In this embodiment, an outer peripheral groove (88) is formed at, of the main shaft (41) of the drive shaft (40), a part that corresponds to the lower end portion of the slide bearing (52a) of the main bearing portion (52). The main bearing oil drainage passage (87) extends along the slide bearing (52a) of the main bearing portion (52) in the up-down direction in the housing (50). The inflow end of the main bearing oil drainage passage (87) is in communication with the outer peripheral groove (88), and the outflow end thereof opens in the crank chamber (55).
- A guide plate (95) is provided below the outflow end of the discharge passage (39). The guide plate (95) is configured to guide the refrigerant that has flowed out from the outflow end of the discharge passage (39) and part of oil to the core cut (61a) of the stator (61). The guide plate (95) is also configured to cause the remaining refrigerant and oil to flow out in the circumferential direction in the lower space (25) of the housing (50).
- Next, operation action of the scroll compressor (10) will be described. When the electric motor (60) is started, the drive shaft (40) rotates, and the movable scroll (35) of the compression mechanism (30) is driven. The movable scroll (35) revolves around the shaft center of the drive shaft (40) in a state in which self-rotation is restricted by the self-rotation inhibition member (53). Consequently, low-pressure fluid (for example, low-pressure gas refrigerant) is sucked from the suction pipe (27) into the compression chamber (C) through an auxiliary suction hole (not illustrated) of the compression mechanism (30) and compressed. The fluid (high-pressure fluid) compressed in the compression chamber (C) is discharged to the discharge chamber (S) through the discharge port (P) of the fixed scroll (31). The high-pressure fluid (for example, high-pressure gas refrigerant) that has flowed into the discharge chamber (S) flows out through the discharge passage (39) formed in the fixed scroll (31) and the housing (50) into the lower space (25) of the housing (50). The high-pressure fluid that has flowed into the lower space (25) is discharged through the discharge pipe (28) to the outside (for example, the condenser of the refrigerant circuit) of the casing (20).
- Next, an oil supplying/draining operation in the scroll compressor (10) will be described. When the electric motor (60) is started, the drive shaft (40) rotates, and the pump (80) is driven. In the pump (80), the oil stored in the storage portion (26) is sucked by the oil supply pump portion (81), and the oil sucked by the oil supply pump portion (81) is discharged to the main oil supply passage (45a) of the in-shaft oil supply passage (45). Part of the oil discharged from the oil supply pump portion (81) to the main oil supply passage (45a) is supplied to the lower bearing portion (72) through the lower-side outflow passage (45c), and the remaining portion thereof goes upward in the main oil supply passage (45a) toward the upper end of the main oil supply passage (45a).
- The oil supplied to the lower bearing portion (72) through the lower-side outflow passage (45c) is supplied to a sliding portion between the slide bearing (72a) of the lower bearing portion (72) and the main shaft (41) of the drive shaft (40). Consequently, the sliding portion between the slide bearing (72a) of the lower bearing portion (72) and the main shaft (41) of the drive shaft (40) is lubricated. Part of this oil is drained to a lower space (29) of the electric motor (60) from the upper end of the sliding portion between the slide bearing (72a) of the lower bearing portion (72) and the main shaft (41) of the drive shaft (40). The remaining portion of the oil is drained to the lower concave portion (71) of the support (70) from the lower end of a sliding portion between the slide bearing (72a) of the lower bearing portion (72) and the main shaft (41) of the drive shaft (40).
- Part of the oil that goes upward in the main oil supply passage (45a) without flowing into the lower-side outflow passage (45c) is supplied to the main bearing portion (52) through the upper-side outflow passage (45b), and the remaining portion thereof goes upward in the main oil supply passage (45a) toward the upper end of the main oil supply passage (45a).
- The oil supplied to the main bearing portion (52) through the upper-side outflow passage (45b) is supplied to a sliding portion between the slide bearing (52a) of the main bearing portion (52) and the main shaft (41) of the drive shaft (40). Consequently, the sliding portion between the slide bearing (52a) of the main bearing portion (52) and the main shaft (41) of the drive shaft (40) is lubricated. Part of this oil is drained directly to the crank chamber (55) of the housing (50) from the upper end of the sliding portion between the slide bearing (52a) of the main bearing portion (52) and the main shaft (41) of the drive shaft (40). The remaining portion of the oil is drained to the crank chamber (55) of the housing (50) from the lower end of the sliding portion between the slide bearing (52a) of the main bearing portion (52) and the main shaft (41) of the drive shaft (40) by passing through the outer peripheral groove (88) of the main shaft (41) and the main bearing oil drainage passage (87) successively.
- The oil that goes upward in the main oil supply passage (45a) without flowing into the upper-side outflow passage (45b) is supplied to the sliding portion (43) from the oil-supply-side communication passage (45d) in communication with the main oil supply passage (45a). Consequently, the sliding portion (43) between the slide bearing (38a) of the boss portion (38) and the eccentric shaft (42) of the drive shaft (40) is lubricated. This oil is drained to the crank chamber (55) of the housing (50) from the sliding portion (43) between the slide bearing (38a) of the boss portion (38) and the eccentric shaft (42) of the drive shaft (40).
- Part of the oil of the crank chamber (55) is supplied to a sliding portion between the fixed scroll (31) and the movable scroll (35) through an oil supply path, whose details are omitted. The oil of the crank chamber (55) is drained to the main oil drainage passage (46a) through the oil-drainage-side communication passage (47) formed in the movable scroll (35). The oil drained to the main oil drainage passage (46a) goes downward in the main oil drainage passage (46a) from the upper end toward the lower end of the main oil drainage passage (46a). The oil that goes downward in the main oil drainage passage (46a) is drained via the internal flow passage (102) of the connection member (100) to the lower concave portion (71) of the support (70) through the outflow hole (40c). In the pump (80), the oil drained to the lower concave portion (71) of the support (70) is sucked by the oil drainage pump portion (82), and the oil sucked by the oil drainage pump portion (82) is discharged to the storage portion (26).
- Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing the drive shaft (40) of the scroll compressor (10) that is configured as described above will be described.
- First, the drive shaft (40) that has the main shaft (41) and the eccentric shaft (42) provided at one end of the main shaft (41), and an elongated pipe (90) are prepared. Next, the vertical hole (40a) is drilled over both ends of the drive shaft (40) in the axial direction. The shaft center of the vertical hole (40a) is made to be coaxial with the shaft center of the main shaft (41). Next, the upper cover (45e) is mounted to one end of the pipe (90), and the connection member (100) is mounted to the other end. Next, the pipe (90) in this state is inserted into the vertical hole (40a). At this time, the outflow end of the internal flow passage (102) of the connection member (100) and the outflow hole (40c) formed in the peripheral wall (40b) of the vertical hole (40a) in the drive shaft (40) are made to be in communication with each other. In addition, the shaft center of the vertical hole (40a) and the shaft center of the pipe (90) are disposed to be coaxial with each other. Through the above steps, the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) (first oil flow passage) can be formed in the inside of the pipe (90). The main oil supply passage (45a) (second oil flow passage) can be formed between the inner peripheral surface of the vertical hole (40a) and the outer peripheral surface of the pipe (90).
- In the present embodiment, the scroll compressor (10) includes the casing (20), the electric motor (60) that is accommodated in the casing (20), the drive shaft (40) that is driven by the electric motor (60), the compression mechanism (30) that is coupled to the drive shaft (40), and the housing (50) that is disposed below the compression mechanism (30) and fixed to the casing (20). The bottom portion of the casing (20) is provided with the storage portion (26) in which oil is stored. The drive shaft (40) has the main shaft (41) and the eccentric shaft (42) provided at the upper end of the main shaft (41). The compression mechanism (30) has the movable scroll (35) having the boss portion (38) to which the eccentric shaft (42) is fitted and the fixed scroll (31) that meshes with the movable scroll (35). The crank chamber (55) that accommodates the boss portion (38) is formed in the housing (50). The pump (80) that transports the oil of the storage portion (26) is provided at the lower end of the main shaft (41) .
- The drive shaft (40) is provided with the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) extending on the shaft center of the main shaft (41) in the axial direction of the drive shaft and having the inflow hole (46b) that opens in the upper end surface (42a) of the eccentric shaft (42), and the main oil supply passage (45a) having an annular cross-section and extending at the periphery of the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) in the axial direction. The main oil supply passage (45a) constitutes an oil supply path in which the oil that has been transported by the pump (80) is supplied to, at least, the sliding portion (43) between the boss portion (38) and the eccentric shaft (42). The oil-drainage-side communication passage (47) in which the oil that has flowed out from the sliding portion (43) to the crank chamber (55) is sent to the inflow hole (46b) of the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) is further included. The in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) constitutes an oil drainage path in which the oil that has flowed in through the inflow hole (46b) is returned to the storage portion (26).
- Therefore, the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) and the inflow hole (46b) thereof are present on the shaft center of the drive shaft (40). Consequently, a centrifugal force along with the rotation of the drive shaft (40) does not easily act on the oil near the inflow hole (46b). Thus, according to this aspect, it is possible to cause oil to easily enter the inflow hole (46b) of the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) and possible to return the oil that has been used for lubrication to the storage portion (26) quickly.
- As described above, by increasing the oil drainage capacity in the drive shaft (40), oil is prevented from being stored excessively in the crank chamber (55). It is thus possible to suppress a pressure increase in the crank chamber (55) and possible to reduce the load of the pump (80). Consequently, it is also possible to increase the reliability of the pump (80).
- In addition, by increasing the oil drainage capacity in the drive shaft (40), oil does not easily flow out from the lower end of the housing (50) to the lower space (25). Therefore, oil does not easily flow out from the discharge pipe (28) to the outside of the scroll compressor (10), and it is possible to reduce oil loss from the scroll compressor.
- Further, in the scroll compressor (10) of the present embodiment, the vertical hole (40a) extending in the axial direction and opening at at least the upper end of the drive shaft (40) is formed in the drive shaft (40), the pipe (90) disposed on the shaft center of the drive shaft (40) in the vertical hole (40a) and extending in the axial direction is included, the first oil flow passage (46) is formed in the inside of the pipe (90), and the main oil supply passage (45a) is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the vertical hole (40a) and the outer peripheral surface of the pipe (90).
- Therefore, by providing the pipe (90) disposed on the shaft center of the drive shaft (40) in the vertical hole (40a) formed in the drive shaft (40), the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) and the main oil supply passage (45a) can be easily formed.
- It is also possible to form the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) and the main oil supply passage (45a) by hollow drilling, not deep-hole drilling, and it is thus possible to reduce manufacturing costs.
- Further, in the scroll compressor (10) of the present embodiment, the annular upper cover (45e) that closes the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the vertical hole (40a) and the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the pipe (90) is included.
- Therefore, the upper end portion of the main oil supply passage (45a) is closed by the annular upper cover (45e), and it is thus possible to suppress oil leakage in the main oil supply passage (45a).
- Further, in the scroll compressor (10) of the present embodiment, the vertical hole (40a) passes through the drive shaft (40) in the axial direction, the lower cover (45f) that closes the lower end of the vertical hole (40a) is included, and the through passage (45i) that causes the discharge side of the pump (80) and the main oil supply passage (45a) to be in communication with each other is formed in the lower cover (45f).
- Therefore, by forming the vertical hole (40a) to pass through the drive shaft (40) and closing the lower end of the vertical hole (40a) by the lower cover (45f), it is possible to send the oil that has been transported by the pump (80), to the main oil supply passage (45a) via the through passage (45i) of the lower cover (45f).
- Due to the lower cover (45f) being included, it is possible to mount the pump (80) via the lower cover (45f), without performing processing directly for mounting the pump (80) to the drive shaft (40). It is thus possible to ease the processing of drive shaft (40).
- Further, in the scroll compressor (10) of the present embodiment, the connection member (100) having the connecting port (101) and the internal flow passage (102) is included, the connecting port (101) being connected to the lower end of the pipe (90), the internal flow passage (102) extending from the connecting port (101) outwardly in the radial direction, and the outflow hole (40c) in communication with the internal flow passage (102) is formed in the peripheral wall (40b) of the vertical hole (40a) of the drive shaft (40).
- Therefore, the oil that has flowed in the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) passes through the connecting port (101) of the connection member (100) and flows into the internal flow passage (102). The internal flow passage (102) extends outwardly in the radial direction. Therefore, when a centrifugal force acts on the oil in the internal flow passage (102) along with the rotation of the drive shaft (40), the oil in the internal flow passage (102) is moved outwardly in the radial direction and drained through the outflow hole (40c). Consequently, it is possible to transfer the oil of the main oil drainage passage (46a) to the storage portion (26) by using the centrifugal force of the drive shaft (40).
- In particular, the inflow end of the internal flow passage (102) is present on the shaft center of the main shaft (41) in the present embodiment. Since a distance from the inflow end of the internal flow passage (102) to the outflow hole (40c) of the drive shaft (40) is maximum, the centrifugal force that acts, along with the rotation of the drive shaft (40), on the oil that flows in the internal flow passage (102) is maximum. Consequently, it is possible to increase the oil drainage capacity.
- Further, in the scroll compressor (10) of the present embodiment, the housing (50) is provided with the slide bearing (52a) that supports the main shaft (41), and the drive shaft (40) is provided with the upper-side outflow passage (45b) extending from the main oil supply passage (45a) outwardly in the radial direction and in which oil is supplied to the slide bearing (52a).
- Therefore, it is possible to supply the oil in the main oil supply passage (45a) to the slide bearing (52a) from the upper-side outflow passage (45b) by using a centrifugal force. The main oil supply passage (45a) is a flow path having an annular cross-section. It is thus possible to provide the upper-side outflow passage (45b) at any position in the circumferential direction of the drive shaft (40).
- Further, in the scroll compressor (10) of the present embodiment, the support (70) having the bearing (72a) that supports the lower portion of the main shaft (41) is included, and the drive shaft (40) is provided with the lower-side outflow passage (45c) extending from the main oil supply passage (45a) outwardly in the radial direction and in which oil is supplied to the slide bearing (72a).
- Therefore, it is possible to supply the oil in the main oil supply passage (45a) to the slide bearing (72a) from the lower-side outflow passage (45c) by using a centrifugal force. The main oil supply passage (45a) is a flow path having an annular cross-section. It is thus possible to provide the lower-side outflow passage (45c) at any position in the circumferential direction of the drive shaft (40).
- Since the main oil supply passage (45a) is a flow path having an annular cross-section, it is possible to supply oil to each slide bearing (52a, 72a) via the upper-side outflow passage (45b) and the lower-side outflow passage (45c) that are in communication with one oil supply passage.
- Here, the direction of the load applied to the slide bearing (52a) and the direction of the load applied to the slide bearing (72a) in the rotation of the drive shaft (40) tend to be shifted from each other in the circumferential direction by about 180°. In the present embodiment, the main oil supply passage (45a) is an annular flow passage. It is thus possible to shift a relative angle between the lower-side outflow passage (45c) and the upper-side outflow passage (45b) easily by 180° in the circumferential direction. Therefore, it is possible to supply sufficient oil to each sliding portion.
- Further, in the scroll compressor (10) of the present embodiment, the oil-drainage-side communication passage (47) is formed in the inside of the movable scroll (35), and the outflow port (47c) of the oil-drainage-side communication passage (47) and the inflow hole (46b) of the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) overlap each other in the axial direction. Specifically, the outflow port (47c) of the oil-drainage-side communication passage (47) performs a turning movement of an amount of eccentricity (that is, turning radius) between the shaft center of the main shaft (41) and the shaft center of the eccentric shaft (42). In this turning movement, the outflow port (47c) of the oil-drainage-side communication passage (47) and the inflow hole (46b) of the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) overlap each other in the axial direction in a range of a predetermined eccentric angle.
- Accordingly, it is possible to cause the oil that has flowed out downwardly through the outflow port (47c) of the oil-drainage-side communication passage (47) to enter the inflow hole (46b) of the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) easily and possible to increase the oil drainage capacity.
- Further, by forming a plurality of the communication passages (47a), the inflow ports (47b), and the plugs (47d) of the oil-drainage-side communication passage (47), it is possible to further ease the entrance of the oil.
- Further, in the scroll compressor (10) of the present embodiment, the concave portion (42b) is formed on the upper end surface of the eccentric shaft (42), and the inflow hole (46b) of the in-shaft oil drainage passage (46) is formed at the bottom of the concave portion (42b).
- Therefore, the oil that has flowed out from the oil-drainage-side communication passage (47) can be caught in the concave portion (42b), and the oil of the concave portion (42b) can enter the inflow hole (46b). Thus, it is possible to improve the oil drainage capacity in the drive shaft (40).
- As illustrated in
Fig. 8 , the lower cover (45f) that closes the vertical hole (40a) of the drive shaft (40) is constituted by an upper stage portion (45k), an intermediate state portion (451), and a lower stage portion (45m) in Modification 1 of the present embodiment. - The upper stage portion (45k) and the intermediate stage portion (451) of the lower cover (45f) are formed in cylindrical shapes having outer diameters that differ from each other. Specifically, the outer diameter of the upper stage portion (45k) is smaller than the outer diameter of the intermediate stage portion (451). The cross-section of the outer periphery of the lower stage portion (45m) is formed in a D-shape. Here, the pump (80) has an internal gear (84a) and an external gear (84b). The cross-section of the inner periphery of the internal gear (84a) is formed in a D-shape. The lower stage portion (45m) of the lower cover (45f) meshes with the inner peripheral surface of the internal gear (84a). Consequently, when the drive shaft (40) rotates, the rotational force thereof is transmitted to the internal gear (84a) of the pump (80) via the lower cover (45f). Then, the transmitted rotational force is transmitted to the external gear (84b) that meshes with the internal gear (84a), the pump (80) is operated, and oil is transported.
- The through passage (45i) that passes through in the axial direction of the drive shaft (40) is formed in the inside of the lower cover (45f). As the pump (80) of Modification 1, a single trochoid pump is used. The oil supplied from the pump (80) passes through the through passage (45i) of the lower cover (45f) and is drained through an outflow port formed in the upper end surface of the lower cover (45f) to the in-shaft oil supply passage (45) in the drive shaft (40).
- As illustrated in
Fig. 9 andFig. 10 , the lower cover (45f) and the connection member (100) are formed integrally in Modification 2 of the present embodiment. An oil supply path and an oil drainage path are included in the inside of the lower cover (45f). Specifically, in contrast to Modification 1, the upper end surface of the upper stage portion (45k) of the lower cover (45f) is located above the outflow hole (40c) of the drive shaft (40). The connecting port (101) connected to the lower end of the pipe (90) is formed in the upper end surface of the lower cover (45f). The internal flow passage (102) connected to the outflow hole (40c) of the drive shaft (40) is formed in the inside of the upper stage portion (45k) of the lower cover (45f). This internal flow passage (102) constitutes part of the oil drainage path. - An oil supply passage (45n) extending in the radial direction of the drive shaft (40) is formed below the internal flow passage (102) in the inside of the lower cover (45f). The outflow end of the through passage (45i) of the lower cover (45f) is in communication with the oil supply passage (45n). This through passage (45i) and the oil supply passage (45n) constitute part of the oil supply path.
- According to this modification, the drive shaft (40) can be constituted by a small number of components. It is thus possible to obtain the scroll compressor (10) easily.
- Regarding the aforementioned embodiment, following configurations may be employed.
- In the scroll compressor (10) of the aforementioned embodiment, the pump (80) may have a different pump structure. For example, the oil supply pump portion (81) of the pump (80) may be constituted by a differential pressure pump and may be constituted by a centrifugal pump.
- In the method of manufacturing the drive shaft (40) of the aforementioned embodiment, the vertical hole (40a) may be molded together when the drive shaft (40) is molded.
- Although embodiments and modifications have been described above, it should be understood that various changes in the forms and the details are possible without departing from the gist and the scope of the claims. The above embodiments and modifications may be combined and replaced, as appropriate, as long as the directed functions of the present disclosure are not lost.
