发明名称 Bearing lubrication system for a scroll compressor
摘要 A scroll compressor having a suction chamber into which fluid is received substantially at suction pressure and a discharge chamber from which the fluid is discharged substantially at discharge pressure, including mutually engaged fixed and orbiting scroll members, in fluid communication with the suction and discharge chambers, an intermediate pressure chamber defined in part by one of fixed and orbiting scroll members, an oil reservoir, an electric motor, and a shaft operably coupling the motor and the orbiting scroll member. The shaft is provided with a longitudinal passageway extending longitudinally therethrough, the longitudinal passageway in fluid communication with the oil reservoir and provided with oil therefrom. The shaft is provided with a first passage in fluid communication with the longitudinal passageway and which extends substantially laterally outward from the longitudinal passageway to a radially outer surface of the shaft. A roller is disposed about the shaft radially outer surface, the orbiting scroll member linked to the shaft through the roller. The roller is provided with inner and outer circumferential surfaces and a second passage extending therebetween, the first and second passages in fluid communication, whereby oil from the oil reservoir is provided to the roller outer circumferential surface through the longitudinal passageway and the first and second passages. A bearing is disposed between the roller outer circumferential surface and the orbiting scroll member. An oil receiving space is provided adjacent the bearing, the oil receiving space defined in part by a surface provided on the orbiting scroll member which is opposite its substantially planar surface, an axially facing surface of the roller, and an end surface of the shaft. The intermediate pressure chamber and the oil receiving space are substantially out of fluid communication. Oil is provided from the second passage to the oil receiving space through the bearing. A third passage extends between the oil receiving space and an intermediate pressure space between the fixed and orbiting involute wrap elements, and oil is provided to the intermediate pressure space from the oil receiving space through the third passage.
