A scroll type fluid machinery has a stationary scroll and a revolving scroll in which spiral wraps are set up at end plates, and are engaged with each other. A drive bushing is fitted rotatably into a boss projected at the central part of the outer surface of the end plate of the revolving scroll, and a drive pin projecting from the rotary shaft is fitted slidably into a slide hole bored in the drive bushing. A counter weight which generates a centrifugal force having an opposite direction to a centrifugal force acting on the revolving scroll at the time of revolving motion in a solar motion thereof is provided on the drive bushing. Further, the contact pressure between the wrap of the revolving scroll and the wrap of the stationary scroll is prevented from becoming excessive even at the time of high speed rotation of the rotary shaft.

Scroll type fluid machinery with counter weight on drive bushing

A scroll type fluid machinery has a stationary scroll and a revolving scroll having spiral wraps set up on inner surfaces of respective end plates in engagement with each other. A drive bushing is inserted rotatably into a boss which is projected at a central part of an outer surface of the end plate of the revolving scroll. An eccentric driving pin of a rotary shaft is fitted slidably into a slide groove bored through the drive bushing. A gap between one end of the slide groove in a direction that the radius of revolution becomes larger and the eccentric driving pin is set to a preset very small distance .delta. (here, .delta. is a value determined based on processing error, deformation due to temperature and pressure and the like of the above-mentioned respective scrolls) when the revolving scroll occupies a position of theoretical radius of revolution thereof. With this, it is possible to prevent the drive bushing from tiltably rotating beyond what has been predetermined while the revolving scroll is revolving.
