Definitions
- a compressor and more particularly, a scroll compressor with a bypass are disclosed herein.
- a scroll compressor refers to a compressor that utilizes a first or orbital scroll having a spiral wrap and a second or fixed scroll having a spiral wrap, the first scroll performing an orbital motion with respect to the second scroll. While the first scroll and the second scroll are engaged with each other in operation, a capacity of a pressure chamber formed therebetween may be reduced as the first scroll performs the orbital motion. Hence, the pressure of a fluid in the pressure chamber may be increased, and the fluid discharged from a discharge opening formed at a central portion of the second scroll.
- the scroll compressor performs a suction process, a compression process, and a discharge process consecutively while the first scroll performs the orbital motion. Because of operational characteristics, the scroll compressor may not require a discharge valve and a suction valve in principle, and its structure may be simple with a small number of components, thus making it possible to perform a high speed rotation. Further, as the change in torque required for compression is small and the suction and compression processes consecutively performed, the scroll compressor is known to create minimal noise and vibration.
- an occurrence of leakage of a refrigerant between the first scroll and the second scroll should be avoided or kept at a minimum, and lubricity (lubrication characteristic) should be enhanced therebetween.
- lubricity lubrication characteristic
- an end of a wrap portion should be adhered to a surface of a plate portion.
- resistance due to friction should be minimized. The relationship between the prevention of the refrigerant leakage and the enhancement of the lubricity is contradictory.
- a back pressure chamber having an intermediate pressure between a discharge pressure and a suction pressure may be formed on a rear surface of the first scroll or the second scroll. That is, the first scroll and the second scroll may be adhered to each other with proper force, by forming a back pressure chamber that communicates with a compression chamber having an intermediate pressure, among a plurality of compression chambers formed between the first scroll and the second scroll. With such a configuration, leakage of refrigerant may be prevented and lubricity enhanced.
- the back pressure chamber may be positioned on a lower surface of the first scroll or an upper surface of the second scroll.
- the scroll compressor with such a back pressure chamber may be referred to as a ‘lower back pressure type scroll compressor’ or an ‘upper back pressure type scroll compressor’ for convenience.
- the structure of the lower back pressure type scroll compressor is simple, and its bypass holes easily formed.
- the form and position of the back pressure chamber may change due to the orbital motion. This may cause the first scroll to tilt, resulting in the occurrence of vibration and noise. Further, an O-ring to prevent leakage of a compressed refrigerant may be rapidly abraded.
- the structure of the upper back pressure type scroll compressor is complicated. However, as the back pressure chamber of the upper back pressure type scroll compressor is fixed in form and position, the probability of the second scroll tilting is low, and sealing for the back pressure chamber is excellent.
- FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view of an upper back pressure type scroll compressor.
- the scroll compressor 1 of FIG. 1 may include a first or orbital scroll 30 configured to perform an orbital motion on a main frame 20 fixedly-installed in a casing 10 and a second or fixed scroll 40 engaged with the first scroll 30 to create a plurality of compression chambers upon the orbital motion.
- a back pressure chamber BP may be formed at an upper portion of the second scroll 40 , and a floating plate 60 to seal the back pressure chamber BP may be installed so as to be slidable up and down along an outer circumferential surface of a discharge passage 45 .
- a discharge cover 2 may be installed at an upper surface of the floating plate 60 , thereby dividing an inner space of the scroll compressor 1 into a suction space (S) and a discharge space (D).
- a lip seal (not shown) may be installed between the floating plate 60 and the back pressure chamber BP, so that refrigerant may be prevented from leaking from the back pressure chamber BP.
- the back pressure chamber BP may communicate with one of the plurality of compression chambers, and may be at a receiving end of an intermediate pressure from the plurality of compression chambers. With such a configuration, pressure may be applied upward to the floating plate 60 , and pressure may also be applied downward to the second scroll 40 . If the floating plate 60 moves upward due to pressure of the back pressure chamber BP, the discharge space D may be sealed as an end of the floating plate 60 contacts the discharge cover 2 . In this case, the second scroll 40 moves downward to be adhered to the first scroll 30 . With such a configuration, a gap between the second scroll 40 and the first scroll 30 may be effectively sealed.
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a fixed or second scroll of an upper back pressure type scroll compressor.
- the compressor of FIG. 2 may include a hub member 76 positioned at a central portion of the back pressure chamber BP and formed to pass through the back pressure chamber BP in upper and lower directions, and a valve assembly 28 disposed below the hub member 76 .
- bypass holes 90 and 92 formed on an upper surface of the second scroll 40 may be open and closed while the valve assembly 28 moves the hub member 76 up and down.
- the bypass holes 90 and 92 may be open when the intermediate pressure is higher than the discharge pressure, thus pushing the valve assembly 28 up. Accordingly, overload in the upper back pressure type scroll compressor may be prevented by alleviating the pressure imbalance using the bypass holes.

- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a second scroll of an upper back pressure type scroll compressor

- FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of a bypass valve according to another embodiment.
- FIG. 13 is a perspective view of a bypass valve according to yet another embodiment.
- overload in the upper back pressure type scroll compressor may be prevented by alleviating pressure imbalance using the bypass holes and associated components of the scroll compressor.
- the hub member 76 may be disposed in the back pressure chamber BP, the position of the bypass holes 90 , 92 may not be set arbitrarily. That is, in order to obtain a sufficient back pressure with the back pressure chamber BP, the back pressure chamber BP should be formed at a predetermined position with a predetermined size. This may limit a size of the hub member 76 . Therefore, positions of the bypass holes 90 , 92 may be restricted to a region below the hub member 76 .
- the floating plate 60 should seal the back pressure chamber BP while contacting an inner surface of the back pressure chamber BP of the second scroll 40 and an outer circumferential surface of the hub member 76 .
- a sealing performance of the floating plate 60 may be compromised due to a quality of surface processing performed on the outer circumferential surface of the hub member 76 , that is a processing allowance (tolerance) and a coupling allowance (tolerance) of the hub member 76 .
- embodiments disclosed herein further provide a scroll compressor capable of forming bypass holes at arbitrary positions of the second scroll.

- the second scroll 140 which engages the orbital scroll 130 , may be disposed above the first scroll 130 .
- the second scroll 140 may be installed to be movable up and down with respect to the first scroll 130 .

- a stepped portion 158 e may be formed in a connection portion between the first ring-shaped wall 158 and the supporting plate 152 .
- a discharged refrigerant reaches a space defined by the stepped portion 158 e , and then moves to the one or more intermediate discharge opening(s) 158 d.
- a groove portion 161 to form a bypass path may be formed outside the stepped portion 158 e in a radial direction.
- the groove portion 161 may have a circular arc shape to enclose a portion of an outer circumferential portion of the stepped portion 158 e , and may be concaved from a lower surface of the supporting plate 152 .
- regions adjacent to the bolt coupling holes 154 may protrude inward in a radial direction. This may allow a peripheral portion of the bolt coupling holes 154 to maintain a sufficient strength.
- An inner circumferential portion of the groove portion 161 in the radial direction may be open towards the stepped portion 158 e .
- an inner space of the groove portion 161 may communicate with the one or more intermediate discharge opening(s) 158 d via the stepped portion 158 e.

- the open degree restrictor 161 a may be in a shape corresponding to the valve body 124 c , and may protrude toward the stepped portion 158 e .
- the open degree restrictor 161 a may be positioned above the valve body 124 c . Accordingly, in a case in which the valve body 124 c moves upward by a distance more than a predetermined value, the valve body 124 c may contact the open degree restrictor 161 a to prevent the valve body 124 c from moving any further.
- an additional retainer may be provided. As shown in FIG. 10 , a retainer 161 b to restrict an open degree of the valve body 124 c when the valve body 124 c is open may be formed on an upper surface of the groove portion 161 .
- the stepped portion 158 e may not be provided, but rather, a communication hole to communicate the valve guide portion 158 b and the one or more intermediate discharge opening(s) 158 d with each other may be provided. In any case, a refrigerant having passed through the discharge opening 145 may not be discharged to the one or more intermediate discharge opening(s) 158 d if the discharge check valve 108 is closed.
- the stepped portion 158 e may be formed in the plate portion 143 of the second scroll 140 , rather than on the back pressure plate 150 .
- the groove portion may be formed on an upper surface of the plate portion 143 of the second scroll 140 , rather than on a lower surface of the supporting plate.
- the bypass hole and the bypass valve may be formed on a bottom surface of the groove portion.
- the second ring-shaped wall 159 may be spaced from the first ring-shaped wall 158 by a predetermined distance, and a first sealing insertion groove 159 a may be formed on an inner circumferential surface of the second ring-shaped wall 159 .
- the first sealing insertion groove 159 a may serve to receive and fix an O-ring 159 b , to prevent leakage of a refrigerant from a contact surface to a floating plate 160 , which is discussed hereinbelow.
- the first sealing insertion groove 159 a may be formed on an outer circumferential surface of the floating plate 160 .
- the first sealing insertion groove 159 a formed on the floating plate 160 may be less stable than the first sealing insertion groove 159 a formed on the back pressure plate 150 , because the floating plate 160 continuously moves up and down.
- a space having an approximately ‘U’-shaped section may be formed by the first ring-shaped wall 158 , the second ring-shaped wall 159 , and the supporting plate 152 .
- the floating plate 160 may be installed to cover the space.
- the floating plate 160 may have a ring shape, and be configured such to have an inner circumferential surface thereof face an outer circumferential surface of the first ring-shaped wall 158 , and to have an outer circumferential surface thereof face an inner circumferential surface of the second ring-shaped wall 159 .
- the back pressure chamber (BP) may be implemented, and the aforementioned O-rings 159 b and 162 a interposed between the respective facing surfaces may serve to prevent a refrigerant inside the back pressure chamber (BP) from leaking to the outside.
- bolt accommodation portions 106 a which may prevent interference with the bolts 106 , may be formed on a lower surface of the floating plate 160 . However, in a case in which heads of the bolts 106 do not protrude from a surface of the supporting plate 152 , the bolt accommodation portion 106 a may be omitted.
- a second sealing insertion groove 162 to receive and fix the O-ring 162 a may be formed on the inner circumferential surface of the floating plate 160 .
- the second sealing insertion groove 162 may be provided at or in the inner circumferential surface of the floating plate 160
- the first sealing insertion groove 159 a may be formed or in at the second ring-shaped wall 159 .
- the first ring-shaped wall 158 may have an insufficient margin to process the grooves due to the valve guide portion 158 b and the one or more intermediate discharge opening(s) 158 d formed therein, and a diameter of the first ring-shaped wall 158 may be smaller than a diameter the second ring-shaped wall 159 .
- the second sealing insertion groove 162 may be formed in the first ring-shaped wall 158 .
- a sealing end 164 may be provided at an upper end of the floating plate 160 .
- the sealing end 164 may protrude upward from the surface of the floating plate 160 , and may have an inner diameter large enough not to cover the one or more intermediate discharge opening(s) 158 d .
- the sealing end 164 may contact a lower side surface of the discharge cover 102 , thereby sealing the discharge path so that a discharged refrigerant may be discharged to the discharge space (D) without leaking to the suction space (S).
- the rotational shaft 116 When power is supplied to the stator 112 , the rotational shaft 116 may rotate. As the rotational shaft 116 rotates, the first scroll 130 fixed to the upper end of the rotational shaft 116 may perform an orbital motion with respect to the second scroll 140 . As a result, the plurality of compression chambers formed between the wrap 144 and the wrap 134 may move toward the discharge opening 145 , thereby compressing a refrigerant.
- the plurality of compression chambers communicate with the intermediate pressure discharge opening 147 before the refrigerant reaches the discharge opening 145 , a portion of the refrigerant may be introduced into the intermediate pressure suction opening 153 of the supporting plate 152 . Accordingly, an intermediate pressure may be applied to the back pressure chamber (BP) formed by the back pressure plate 150 and the floating plate 160 . As a result, pressure may be applied downward to the back pressure plate 150 , whereas pressure may be applied upward to the floating plate 160 .
- BP back pressure chamber
- an intermediate pressure of the back pressure chamber (BP) may also influence the second scroll 140 .
- the floating plate 160 may move upward because the second scroll 140 cannot move downward due to contact with the plate portion 132 of the first scroll 130 .
- the sealing end 164 contacts the lower end of the discharge cover 102 , the floating plate 160 stops moving. Then, as the second scroll 140 is pushed toward the first scroll 130 by the pressure of the back pressure chamber (BP), the refrigerant may be prevented from leaking from a gap between the first scroll 130 and the second scroll 140 .
- the discharge check valve 108 may move upward so that the refrigerant may be discharged to the space defined by the stepped portion 158 e . Then, the refrigerant may be introduced into the one or more intermediate discharge opening(s) 158 d , and may then be discharged to the discharge space (D). If the scroll compressor 100 is stopped or a pressure of the discharge space (D) temporarily increases, the discharge check valve 108 may move downward to block the discharge opening 145 . This may prevent counter rotation of the second scroll 140 resulting from backflow of the refrigerant.
- a discharge pressure may be applied to the groove portion 161 .
- Pressure of the intermediate pressure chamber may be applied to a lower surface of the valve body 124 c .
- the valve body 124 c may maintain a contact state to the wall portion 149 a and the bypass hole 149 may be closed, because the discharge pressure is greater than the intermediate pressure.
- the intermediate pressure which is normally about 1.5 times higher than the suction pressure
- the discharge pressure has a value obtained by multiplying the suction pressure with a compression ratio, while the compression ratio is fixed. Accordingly, if the suction pressure exceeds a proper range, the discharge pressure may excessively increases causing overload.
- the discharge pressure inside the intermediate pressure chamber is excessive, refrigerant should be discharged even if it has not yet reached the discharge chamber.
- the valve body 124 c may move upward to open the bypass hole 149 .
- the refrigerant disposed in the intermediate pressure chamber may be discharged into the groove portion 161 , and may then move to the discharge space via the discharge path. With such a configuration, pressure of the intermediate pressure chamber may be prevented from excessively increasing.
- An operating condition of a system to which a compressor, for example, a scroll compressor, is to be applied may be predetermined. Accordingly, a range of the suction pressure and the discharge pressure of the compressor may be predicted. Based on the predicted range, a position or positions where the intermediate pressure chamber has an excessive pressure may be determined, and overload may be solved by forming bypass holes at those position(s).
- bypass holes cannot be formed at the necessary positions.
- the bypass holes may be formed at any position on the plate portion of the second scroll. Further, as the bypass valve may be installed, overload may be effectively solved.
- the shape of the bypass valve is not limited to the illustrated example.
- FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a bypass valve according to an embodiment.
- the bypass valve has a structure in which the valve bodies 124 c may be connected to an edge portion 124 d .
- the valve supporting portions 124 a may be coupled to the plate portion 143 of the second scroll 140 , for example, by bolts 106 , and may be connected to each other by the edge portion 124 d .
- the two connection portions 124 b may be connected to a portion of the valve supporting portions 124 a , and the valve bodies 124 c may be formed at ends of the connection portions 124 b.
- the bypass valve may be fixed by bolts used to connect the second scroll and the back pressure plate to each other, without using an additional coupling device. Accordingly, this may simplify the assembly processes.

- a valve installation hole 152 a may be formed in the groove portion 161
- a bypass valve 220 may be installed in the valve installation hole 152 a .
- the bypass valve 220 may include a valve body 224 to open and close the bypass hole 149 and a stem 222 formed on a rear surface of the valve body 224 .
- the stem 222 may be installed so as to be movable up and down in the valve installation hole 152 a .
- a coil spring 226 to press the valve body 224 downward when an external force is not applied to the valve body 224 may be installed on an outer circumferential part of the stem 222 .
- the bypass valve 220 may apply a force greater than an elastic force of the coil spring 226 to the coil spring 226 . As a result, the bypass valve 220 may move upward. Accordingly, the bypass hole may open, and refrigerant inside the intermediate pressure chamber may be discharged to the discharge space.
- the coil spring 226 may not be provided. However, even if the coil spring 226 is not provided, the pressure of the discharge space may be applied to an upper surface of the valve body 224 . Accordingly, in a case in which the pressure of the intermediate pressure chamber is lower than the pressure of the discharge space, the valve body 224 may cover the bypass hole. If the coil spring 226 is provided, the open valve body may move downward more rapidly, thus enhancing a response of the valve.
