Abstract
A suction chamber and the oil injection port are linked, under a certain range of revolution angle, via a suction working chamber formed in the radially outer side by a orbiting scroll outer curve and a fixed scroll inner curve under a certain range of revolution angle. An opening of the oil injection port is provided on a bottom surface between teeth of the fixed scroll so that the suction working chamber formed, in a radially inner side, by a orbiting scroll inner curve and a fixed scroll outer curve and the suction chamber are positioned not to be linked with the oil injection port.
Claims5
A sealed scroll compressor for helium in which a working gas is a helium gas, comprising:
- a scroll compression mechanism part and a motor part that are contained in a sealed container,
- a compression chamber configured by a fixed scroll in which a scroll-shaped wrap is vertically provided on a fixed side plate and an orbiting scroll engaging the wraps with each other in the scroll compression mechanism part, wherein
- the orbiting scroll is engaged with an eccentric mechanism connected to a rotating shaft, and revolves relative to the fixed scroll without rotating on an axis of the orbiting scroll,
- the fixed scroll is provided with a discharge port with an opening to the center portion of the fixed scroll and a suction port with an opening to the outer periphery of the fixed scroll,
- the helium gas which is suctioned from the suction port is compressed as the helium gas advances in the compression chamber toward the center portion thereof, and then discharged from the discharge port,
- an oil injection tube for cooling the helium gas is provided so as to penetrate the sealed container and be connected to an oil injection port provided on the fixed side plate,
- a suction chamber located at terminal end portions of both the scroll wraps communicates with the oil injection port, during a suction process and until the suction process is completed, via a suction working chamber formed in a radially outer side by an orbiting scroll outer curve and a fixed scroll inner curve, and
- an opening of the oil injection port is provided on a bottom surface between teeth of the fixed scroll so that a suction working chamber formed, in a radially inner side, by an orbiting scroll inner curve and a fixed scroll outer curve and the suction chamber, is not always communicated with the oil injection port during the suction process.
