Abstract
A horizontal type scroll compressor includes a main scroll through which a crankshaft is rotatably inserted, the main scroll having a fixed wrap formed on a front surface thereof, and an orbiting scroll coupled to the crankshaft inserted through the main scroll and having an orbiting wrap. A discharge port is formed toward one side surface in an axial direction of the main scroll facing a driving motor. A guide member is coupled to the one side surface of the main scroll, and has a discharge guide portion accommodating the discharge port.
Claims12
A horizontal type scroll compressor, comprising:
- a casing;
- a driving motor installed within an inner space of the casing and having a stator and a rotor;
- a crankshaft coupled to the rotor of the driving motor to transfer a rotational force;
- a main scroll through which the crankshaft is rotatably inserted, the main scroll having a fixed side wrap portion on a surface of the main scroll;
- and
- an orbiting scroll coupled to the crankshaft inserted through the main scroll, and having an orbiting scroll wrap engaged with the fixed side wrap portion to form a first compression chamber and a second compression chamber on an outer surface of the fixed side wrap portion and an inner surface of the fixed side wrap portion, wherein a discharge port is formed toward one side surface in an axial direction of the main scroll facing the driving motor, and wherein a guide is coupled to the one side surface of the main scroll, and has a discharge guide portion that accommodates the discharge port therein to guide a refrigerant into the inner space of the casing.
A horizontal type scroll compressor, comprising:
- a motor housing having an inner space for installation of a driving motor therein;
- a main scroll coupled to one side of the motor housing to seal the inner space of the motor housing and having a fixed wrap forming compression chambers;
- an orbiting scroll having an orbiting wrap engaged with the fixed wrap of the main scroll and coupled to a crankshaft inserted through the main scroll, the orbiting scroll forming a first compression chamber and a second compression chamber on an outer surface and an inner surface of the orbiting wrap while performing an orbiting motion;
- and
- a front housing hermetically coupled to the main scroll, wherein the front housing accommodates the orbiting scroll, and wherein a bearing guide for installation of a main bearing that supports the crankshaft is coupled toward one side surface in an axial direction of the main scroll facing the inner space of the motor housing.
