Compressor and oil blocking device therefor

A compressor, comprising:

• a casing;
• a compression device having a compression chamber and configured to receive, compress, and discharge a refrigerant;
• and
• an oil blocking device configured to block oil from the compression device from spreading onto certain mechanical parts, wherein the oil blocking device comprises a blocking plate with a plurality of oil directing flanges extending therefrom.

A compressor, comprising:

• a casing;
• a drive motor disposed within the casing;
• a compression device having a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll forming a compression chamber therebetween and driven by the drive motor via a rotational shaft to receive, compress, and discharge a refrigerant, the orbiting shaft being supported on a bearing surface of a main frame;
• a first oil passage formed in the rotational shaft to supply oil to the compression device;
• a second oil passage formed in the main frame in communication with the first oil passage to supply oil to the compression device;
• and
• an oil blocking device configured to block oil from spreading onto certain mechanical parts disposed below the drive motor.
