Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided that may include a block insertion groove configured to accommodate a discharge port and at least one bypass hole disposed in a rear surface of a non-orbiting end plate of a non-orbiting scroll, and a retainer block including at least one bypass valve configured to open or close the at least one bypass hole inserted into the block insertion groove. The at least one bypass hole may include a first bypass hole and a second bypass hole. The at least one bypass valve may include a first bypass valve configured to open or close the first bypass hole and a second bypass valve configured to open or close the second bypass hole, and may be disposed between the block insertion groove and the retainer block facing the block insertion groove. Accordingly, the first and second bypass valves that suppress or prevent overcompression in a compression chamber are not fastened to the non-orbiting end plate, which may allow the non-orbiting end plate to be made thin. As the non-orbiting end plate may be reduced in thickness, a length of the first and second bypass holes may be reduced, thereby decreasing a dead volume in the first and second bypass holes.

Abstract: A scroll compressor is disclosed. The scroll compressor may include a back pressure hole formed through a non-orbiting scroll and a back pressure chamber assembly such that a compression chamber and a back pressure chamber communicate with each other. A back pressure valve may be disposed inside of the back pressure hole and move along a longitudinal direction of the back pressure hole by a pressure difference between the compression chamber and the back pressure chamber, to vary a flow path area of the back pressure hole. The back pressure valve may include a valve body that extends in an axial direction and a plurality of holes formed through the valve body in the axial direction. With the configuration, pressure pulsation in the back pressure chamber may be suppressed or prevented.

Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided. In the scroll compressor, a valve accommodating groove that accommodates a discharge port and bypass holes is recessed by a predetermined depth into a rear surface of a non-orbiting scroll, and a valve guide is disposed between the rear surface of the non-orbiting scroll and a rear surface of the back pressure chamber assembly facing the rear surface of the non-orbiting scroll. Bypass valve guide holes into which bypass valves that open and close the bypass holes are slidably inserted are formed in the valve guide. Accordingly, the bypass valves that suppress or prevent overcompression in compression chambers are not fastened to a non-orbiting end plate, which may allow the non-orbiting end plate to be reduced in thickness. As the non-orbiting end plate is reduced in thickness, lengths of the bypass holes may be reduced, thereby decreasing dead volumes in the bypass holes.

Abstract: A compressor may include a casing, and a compression device installed inside of the casing and that compresses the refrigerant while rotating by receiving a rotational force of an electric motor through a rotational shaft. A high/low pressure separation plate may be installed at an upper portion of the compression device, and an insulation plate may be provided to block the high/low pressure separation plate and the suction tube from each other by being located therebetween. The insulation plate may reduce heat transfer between a refrigerant discharge space having a high temperature located at the upper portion of the high/low pressure separation plate and a refrigerant suction space having a relatively low temperature located at a lower portion of the high/low pressure separation plate.

Abstract: A scroll compressor may include a frame, an orbiting scroll provided with at least one first key groove, a non-orbiting scroll provided with at least one second key groove and coupled to the orbiting scroll to form a compression chamber, and an anti-rotation ring disposed between the frame and the orbiting scroll. The anti-rotation ring may include a ring, at least one first key that axially extends from a first surface of the ring and slidingly coupled to the at least one first key groove of the orbiting scroll, and at least one second key that axially extends from the first surface of the ring and slidingly coupled to the at least one second key groove of the non-orbiting scroll. The first and second keys may be provided along a circumferential direction. This may allow processability of a one-way anti-rotation ring. Further, increase in weight may be prevented while reducing deformation by providing a weight-reduced portion in addition to a reinforcing portion.

Abstract: A scroll compressor is disclosed. The scroll compressor has back pressure holes which are formed in a non-orbiting scroll and a back pressure chamber assembly, and communicate a compression chamber and a back pressure chamber. In addition, a back pressure valve is provided inside the back pressure hole to change the passage area of the back pressure hole by moving along the longitudinal direction of the back pressure hole due to the pressure difference between the compression chamber and the back pressure chamber. Due to the back pressure valve, pressure pulsation in the back pressure chamber can be improved.

Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided, the scroll compressor having a block insertion groove recessed by a predetermined depth into a rear surface of a non-orbiting scroll to accommodate a discharge port and a plurality of bypass holes, and a retainer block having a bypass valve that opens and closes the plurality of bypass holes fixedly inserted into the block insertion groove. The bypass valve may be fixed to a first axial side surface of the retainer block facing the block insertion groove. Through this, the bypass valve that suppresses or prevents overcompression of a compression chamber is not fastened to a non-orbiting end plate, which may allow the non-orbiting end plate to be reduced in thickness. This may shorten lengths of the plurality of bypass holes and the discharge port by the reduced thickness of the non-orbiting end plate, thereby decreasing a dead volume in the plurality of bypass holes and the discharge port.
