Radially compliant scroll compressor

摘要

A compressor may include a compression mechanism, a driveshaft, and a lever. The compression mechanism may include orbiting and non-orbiting scroll members meshingly engaging each other. The driveshaft may include an eccentric crank pin engaging the orbiting scroll member such that rotation of the driveshaft about a first axis causes orbital motion of the orbiting scroll relative to the non-orbiting scroll. The lever may be mounted for rotation with the driveshaft about the first axis and may be rotatable relative to the driveshaft about a second axis.

1. A compressor comprising:
a compression mechanism including orbiting and non-orbiting scroll members meshingly engaging each other; a driveshaft having an eccentric crank pin engaging said orbiting scroll member such that rotation of said driveshaft about a first axis causes orbital motion of said orbiting scroll relative to said non-orbiting scroll; and a lever mounted to said driveshaft for rotation with said driveshaft about said first axis, said lever rotatable coupled to said driveshaft by a pin that extends through an aperture in said lever such that said lever is rotatable about said pin relative to said driveshaft about a second axis that extends through said pin and is perpendicular to said first axis.
