Abstract
In some examples, a scroll compressor may include an orbiting scroll and a fixed scroll having spiral involutes intermeshed together. A slider block may be disposed on the eccentric portion of a main shaft and the slider block may be attached to a compliant counterweight. The counterweight may be supported by a counterweight guide plate that is supported by the main shaft. The counterweight guide plate may also have an arm securing a top portion of the counterweight thereby securing the slider block. In some implementations, a spring assembly may be provided between an outer edge of the counterweight and the counterweight guide plate. These components may, in part, allow for a constant involute contact between the fixed scroll and orbiting scroll involutes at high speeds thereby achieving high compression efficiency.
