Abstract
A scroll-type compressor includes a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll each having an end plate and a spiral element. Each of the spiral elements interfits and form at least one pair of sealed-off fluid pockets. The fixed scroll is connected to a front housing. A driving mechanism includes a drive shaft rotatably supported by the front housing. A first and a second pin hole for aligning of the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll are formed in an end surface of the spiral element of the fixed scroll and in an end surface of the front housing, respectively, and the first pin hole formed in the fixed scroll and the second pin hole formed in the front housing have different diameters. The configuration of the scroll-type fluid compressor according to this invention may be finely adjusted to align the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll.
