Abstract
In a scroll compressor with a first line VL passing through a center line CL0 of a rotary shaft 30 and a center line CL2 of an eccentric bushing 72, and with a second line HL passing through the line CL0 and being orthogonal to the line VL, a center of gravity G1 of a bushing balancer 721 integral with the bushing 72 is located opposite to the line CL2 across the line HL and opposite to a center line CL1 of an eccentric pin 71 across the line VL, while a center of gravity G2 of a shaft balancer 31 integral with the shaft 30 is located opposite to the line CL2 across the line HL, and on the same side as the line CL1 relative to the line VL.
Claims5
A scroll compressor including:
- a fixed scroll having a fixed base plate and a fixed spiral wall erected on the fixed base plate;
- an orbiting scroll having an orbiting base plate, an orbiting spiral wall that is erected on one surface of the orbiting base plate and meshes with the fixed spiral wall, and a cylindrical portion formed on and protruding from the other surface of the orbiting base plate;
- compression chambers formed between the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll;
- and
- a driving force transmission mechanism having a rotary shaft that is rotatably driven, an eccentric pin provided at one end of the rotary shaft, and an eccentric bushing rotatably attached to the eccentric pin and rotatably inserted into the cylindrical portion via a bearing, the driving force transmission mechanism being configured to transmit a driving force to the orbiting scroll, the scroll compressor being configured in such a manner that the driving force causes the orbiting scroll to perform an orbital motion relative to the fixed scroll to change volume of the compression chamber, thereby compressing fluid taken into the compression chamber, wherein
- the scroll compressor comprises:
- a bushing balancer provided integrally with the eccentric bushing, the bushing balancer including a first weight portion located radially outward of the eccentric bushing;
- and
- a shaft balancer provided integrally with the rotary shaft, the shaft balancer including a second weight portion located radially outward of the rotary shaft, and
- as viewed in an axial direction of the rotary shaft, letting a straight line passing through a center line of the rotary shaft and a center line of the eccentric bushing be a first straight line, and letting a straight line passing through the center line of the rotary shaft and being orthogonal to the first straight line be a second straight line, a center of gravity of the bushing balancer is located on an opposite side to the center line of the eccentric bushing relative to the second straight line and on an opposite side to a center line of the eccentric pin relative to the first straight line, and a center of gravity of the shaft balancer is located on an opposite side to the center line of the eccentric bushing relative to the second straight line and on the same side as the center line of the eccentric pin relative to the first straight line.
