Abstract
In a positioning apparatus, a fixed scroll engaged with a movable scroll is pressed against a housing member, and then, is stirred to an appropriate position by applying impact force to the fixed scroll in this state. Thus, the stirring of the fixed scroll terminates in the state that the fixed scroll is pressed against the housing member.
Claims6
An apparatus, for use in an assembling process of a scroll fluid machinery, for positioning a fixed scroll on the basis of a positional relationship between a rap of the fixed scroll and a rap of a movable scroll, the apparatus, comprising:
- a fixing member for fixing an assembly body of an integrated combination of the movable scroll, a crank shaft engaged with the movable scroll, and a housing member composing a bearing of the crank shaft;
- a pressing mechanism for pressing the fixed scroll engaged with the movable scroll against the housing member;
- a determining unit configured to determine a stirring distance and a stirring direction of the fixed scroll;
- a stirring mechanism for stirring the fixed scroll according to the stirring distance and the stirring direction which are determined by the determining unit by applying impact force to the fixed scroll being pressed against the housing member;
- and
- a guide, provided in the pressing mechanism, for inhibiting the fixed scroll from rotating while allowing the fixed scroll to stir in parallel to an X axis direction or a Y axis direction which intersect at a right angle with each other, wherein
- the X axis direction and the Y axis direction in which the guide allows the fixed scroll to stir agree with directions of the impact force that the pressing mechanism applies to the fixed scroll.
A method for positioning a fixed scroll, in a process of assembling a scroll fluid machinery, on the basis of a positional relationship between a rap of the fixed scroll and a rap of a movable scroll, the method comprising:
- a first step of fixing an assembly body of an integrated combination of the movable scroll, a crank shaft engaged with the movable scroll, and a housing member composing a bearing of the crank shaft and engaging the fixed scroll with the movable scroll;
- a second step of pressing a guide for inhibiting the fixed scroll from rotating while allowing the fixed scroll to stir in parallel to an X axis direction or a Y axis direction which intersect at a right angle with each other against the fixed scroll engaged with the movable scroll in the first step, and pressing the fixed scroll against the housing member;
- and
- a third step of adjusting the position of the fixed scroll by stirring by applying impact force to the fixed scroll being pressed against the housing member.
