Scroll compressor having a baffle plate and oil passages in the orbiting

Abstract

A compression chamber of a scroll compression element driven by a crank shaft of an electromotive element and stored in an upper portion of a closed container is formed by engaging spiral wraps formed on the mirror plates of a fixed scroll member and an orbiting scroll member with each other, a bush portion having an engagement hole to be engaged with an upper end portion of the crank shaft is formed in a central axis portion of the under surface of the mirror plate of the orbiting scroll member, a space formed between the engagement hole of the bush portion and the upper end portion of the crank shaft serves as an oil input port, lubricating oil which is stored in an oil reservoir in an inner bottom portion of the closed container and goes up through an oil passage formed within the crank shaft by an oil pump unit is supplied from the oil input port into the compression chamber, oil injection communication passages communicating with the compression chamber from the oil input port are formed in the mirror plate of the orbiting scroll member, and the open ends on the compression chamber side of the oil injection communication passages are made open to positions near terminal portions of the spiral wraps for an initial-stage compression room formed in the fixed scroll member and the orbiting scroll member.
