Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided that may include a casing; an electric motor drive having a stator fixed within the casing, and a rotor rotatably provided within the stator; a rotational shaft coupled to the rotor to rotate along with the rotor; a compression device disposed at a lower portion of the electric motor drive to receive a rotational force from the rotational shaft and compress a refrigerant; and an oil storage space located within the casing. A plurality of oil discharge paths to allow oil accumulated at an upper portion thereof to be discharged to the oil storage space may be formed on an outer circumferential surface of the compression device to be separated from each other, and an overall cross-sectional area of the plurality of oil discharge paths may be about 2 to about 12% of an inner diameter cross-sectional area of the casing brought into contact with or separated from an outer circumferential surface of the compression device in the compression device.

Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided that may include a first scroll provided with a discharge port, a second scroll engaged with the first scroll to form a first compression chamber and a second compression chamber, and a rotational shaft provided with an eccentric portion eccentrically coupled to the first scroll or the second scroll The eccentric portion may overlap the first and second compression chambers in a radial direction. The discharge port may be provided with at least one discharge inlet and a discharge outlet The at least one discharge inlet may include a plurality of discharge inlets, which have different areas from each other, whereby a refrigerant of each compression chamber may be smoothly discharged, thereby preventing an over-compression loss due to a delay of discharge.

Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a flow path guide disposed between a motor unit and a compression unit to separate a refrigerant flow path and an oil flow path. A guide discharge hole communicating with a discharge passage of the compression unit is formed axially through the flow path guide and a guide passage communicating with the guide discharge hole is annularly defined, such that a discharge guide protrusion surrounding the guide discharge hole extends toward the motor unit. Accordingly, inner and outer spaces of the flow path guide can communicate with each other while the refrigerant flow path and the oil flow path are separated, which results in securing a space of an oil recovery passage to allow quick oil recovery and simplifying a structure of the flow path guide to reduce manufacturing costs.

Abstract: A compressor includes a driving motor, a centrifugation space, a discharge pipe, a rotary shaft, a compression portion, a pump assembly, and an oil pickup. The centrifugation space is defined inside a case by a downstream side of the driving motor and the case, and enables centrifugation of a compressed refrigerant and a lubricant oil. The discharge pipe can discharge the refrigerant from the centrifugation space outside the case. The rotary shaft is coupled to a rotor of the driving motor and defines an oil supply path. The compression portion is provided at an upstream side of the driving motor and can compress the refrigerant as the rotary shaft rotates. The pump assembly is provided below the rotary shaft and can pump oil as rotated with the rotary shaft. The oil pickup defines an oil supply path between the pump assembly and a low oil space formed inside the case.

Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided that may include an orbiting scroll having an orbiting wrap, and which performs an orbiting motion; and a fixed scroll having a fixed wrap to form a compression chamber including a suction chamber, an intermediate pressure chamber, and a discharge chamber, by being engaged with the orbiting wrap. In a state in which the orbiting scroll and the fixed scroll are concentric with each other, when a distance between the orbiting wrap and the fixed wrap is defined as an orbiting radius, there exists an offset section having an interval larger than the orbiting radius, between a side surface of the orbiting wrap and a side surface of the fixed wrap which faces the orbiting wrap. With such a configuration, even if the fixed scroll or the orbiting scroll is transformed due to thermal expansion, interference between the fixed wrap and the orbiting wrap at a portion having a large transformation amount may be prevented. This may prevent a frictional loss or abrasion between the fixed wrap and the orbiting wrap. Further, this may restrict or minimize a gap between the fixed wrap and the orbiting wrap at an opposite side to the suction chamber, resulting in enhanced compression efficiency.

Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided that may include an orbiting scroll having an orbiting wrap, and which performs an orbiting motion; and a fixed scroll having a fixed wrap to form a compression chamber including a suction chamber, an intermediate pressure chamber, and a discharge chamber, by being engaged with the orbiting wrap. A wrap thickness of the fixed wrap may be greater than a wrap thickness of the orbiting wrap within a range which forms the suction chamber. With such a configuration, even if the fixed scroll or the orbiting scroll is thermally-expanded, a transformation of the fixed wrap at a suction side may be prevented. This may prevent a gap between the fixed wrap and the orbiting wrap at an opposite side to the suction side, thereby enhancing compression efficiency.
