A scroll compressor is provided in which a boss of an orbiting scroll is inserted into and coupled to a boss coupling recess of a crank shaft, so that friction loss of a bearing portion of the crank shaft may be reduced, compression efficiency and reliability of the compressor may be enhanced, and noise and material costs may be reduced. A bush bearing may be formed as a coating on the boss of the orbiting scroll, so that a thickness of the bearing portion of the crank shaft may be reduced. Since an outer circumferential surface of the bearing portion is in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the boss coupling recess, damage to the bearing portion may be prevented.

Scroll compressor having a bush bearing provided on a boss of orbiting scroll

A scroll compressor is provided that includes an oil recollecting pump to recollect oil discharged from a shell, thus to effectively recollect oil discharged out of the compressor, and a differential pressure hole formed at a position where it communicates with compression chambers after a suction completion timing, such that oil stored in an inner space of the shell can be supplied into the compression chambers using a pressure difference between a high-pressure inner space of the shell and a low-pressure compression chambers, resulting in allowing oil to be smoothly supplied to a compression unit even during low-speed driving of the compressor and preventing an occurrence of a suction loss due to oil.

Scroll compressor with differential pressure hole and communication hole

A scroll compressor is provided that may include a differential pressure hole formed at or in an orbiting scroll that communicates a high pressure part with an intermediate pressure part, a decompression portion formed in the differential pressure hole and having a pin member inserted therein to decompress oil. An inner diameter Dof the decompression portion may be greater than an outer diameter Dof the pin member. The decompression portion may include an inlet through which oil may be introduced from the high pressure part into the differential pressure hole, and an outlet through which oil from the differential pressure hole may be discharged into the intermediate pressure part.
