SCROLL COMPRESSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18554387 titled 'SCROLL COMPRESSOR

Simplified Explanation

The scroll compressor described in the patent application features a vertical groove in the journal, with oil supply holes that enhance lubrication and cooling, ultimately improving the compressor's efficiency and reducing wear on the bearing.

  • The scroll compressor has a vertical groove in the journal.
  • Oil supply holes in the groove improve lubrication.
  • Enhanced cooling ability and efficiency are achieved.
  • Reduced damage to the bearing due to improved oil supply.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various air conditioning systems, refrigeration units, and other industrial applications where scroll compressors are used.

Problems Solved

The technology addresses issues related to insufficient lubrication and cooling in scroll compressors, which can lead to increased wear and reduced efficiency.

Benefits

- Increased efficiency and cooling ability - Reduced wear on the bearing - Enhanced overall performance of the compressor

Commercial Applications

  • HVAC systems
  • Refrigeration units
  • Industrial air compressors

Prior Art

There may be prior art related to scroll compressor designs that aim to improve lubrication and cooling, but the specific configuration of the vertical groove and oil supply holes as described in this patent application may be unique.

Frequently Updated Research

Questions about Scroll Compressor Technology

How does the vertical groove in the journal improve lubrication in the compressor?

The vertical groove allows for better oil distribution to critical components, reducing friction and wear.

What are the potential drawbacks of the oil supply hole configuration in the scroll compressor?

The oil supply holes may require precise machining and maintenance to ensure proper lubrication over time.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to a scroll compressor of the present invention, a vertical groove is formed in the journal such that the vertical groove has a predetermined length measured from an upper end of the journal , a first oil supply hole and a second oil supply hole which are in communication with the main shaft oil supply hole and which open from the vertical groove are formed, a first opening of the first oil supply hole is located on a side of a lower end of the vertical groove , and a second opening of the second oil supply hole is located on a side of an upper end of the vertical groove . According to this configuration, an amount of oil supplied to the bearing can be increased, damage of the bearing can be reduced, and cooling ability and COP can be enhanced.
