Scroll compressor having recesses on the scroll wraps

Starting method for scroll-type compressor

The space in a closed container is divided into two parts by a partition wall member, gas jetting holes through which a high pressure gas released from a compression mechanism section is passed are formed in the partition wall member and a gas collision plate is disposed in opposed relation to the gas jetting holes, and therefore, there is provided a compressor of high achievement factor which is capable of preventing the discharge of oil from the compressor to a refrigerating cycle from being increased even if operated at high rotational frequency.

A compressor includes a communication hole 42 through which lubrication oil in an oil reservoir 5 is supplied to a back pressure chamber 39 at least through an eccentrically driving bearing 15, and a communication bore 45 or gap through which the lubrication oil in the back pressure chamber 39 is fed into compression spaces, and a constricted resistance member 44 for regulating the oil flow rate is provided on the communication hole 42. The passage resistance can be made larger in comparison with the case where resistance is caused in a small space of a sliding portion of a bearing, and an accurate value of the passage resistance can be preset with the oil flow rate being low, thereby preventing flow of the lubrication oil to the compression operating spaces from increasing in quantity. Thus, there is provided a highly reliable scroll compressor which has a high compression efficiency, consumes power constantly, and has no risk of compression of the lubrication oil in the compression operating spaces.

The compression capacity of a rotary compressor may be changed by a cylinder bypass system. The change of compression capacity is achieved by a slide wall member which composes part of an inside wall of a cylinder containing a compression mechanism and which is movable, thereby bypassing gas being compressed to a suction side of the compressor. The slide wall member is caused to slide forward by gas pressure applied and to slide backward by a spring force. By controlling such gas pressure, the capacity of the compressor may be changed. A relatively large opening is formed in the cylinder when the slide wall member is moved backward, so that the compression capacity can be greatly reduced without a large decrease in efficiency.
