Abstract
A scroll compressor with high efficiency is provided according to the present invention. The scroll compressor compresses a refrigerant by meshing of an orbiting scroll and a fixed scroll, wherein the orbiting scroll includes a back pressure hole which intermittently connects a compression chamber and a back pressure chamber per one orbit of the orbiting scroll, and the back pressure hole communicates with the compression chamber and also with the back pressure chamber and shuts off the communication with the back pressure chamber after the communication with the compression chamber is shut off.
Claims10
A scroll compressor, comprising:
- a fixed scroll in which a spiral wrap is vertically provided on a base plate;
- an orbiting scroll in which a spiral wrap is vertically provided on an end plate, the orbiting scroll meshing with the fixed scroll to form a compression chamber;
- a discharge space to which a working fluid having been compressed in the compression chamber is discharged;
- a back pressure chamber provided in a back surface of at least any one of the orbiting scroll and the fixed scroll to press at least one of both members of the orbiting scroll and the fixed scroll against the other one of the members;
- and
- a back pressure hole formed in an end plate of at least any one of the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll to provide communication between the compression chamber and the back pressure chamber to keep a pressure in the back pressure chamber at a pressure between a suction pressure and a discharge pressure, wherein
- the compression chamber and the back pressure chamber intermittently communicate with each other through the back pressure hole per one orbit of the orbiting scroll, and
- a communication port of the back pressure hole on a back pressure chamber side is blocked later than a communication port of the back pressure hole on a compression chamber side.
