Abstract

The objective of the present invention is to provide a scroll-type fluid machine for which the service life can be improved by reducing the load applied to a rotation prevention mechanism. To solve this problem, this scroll-type fluid machine is characterized by being equipped with a stationary scroll, an orbiting scroll that is provided opposing the stationary scroll and undergoes turning movement, a casing provided on the outside of the orbiting scroll, a drive shaft that drives and turns the orbiting scroll, a boss plate part that is provided separated from the orbiting scroll and is connected to the drive shaft, and multiple rotation prevention mechanisms provided between the boss plate part and the casing, and is characterized in that the boss plate part has multiple rotation-prevention-mechanism-side boss plate parts connected to the rotation prevention mechanisms, and a drive-shaft-side boss plate part connected to the drive shaft, and spaces are provided between the rotation-prevention-mechanism-side boss plate parts and the drive-shaft-side boss plate part.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A scroll-type fluid machine, comprising:
a stationary scroll;
an orbiting scroll that is provided opposing the stationary scroll and undergoes turning movement;
a casing provided on the outside of the orbiting scroll;
a drive shaft that drives and turns the orbiting scroll;
a boss plate part that is provided separated from the orbiting scroll and is connected to the drive shaft; and
a plurality of rotation prevention mechanisms provided between the boss plate part and the casing, wherein
the boss plate part includes a plurality of rotation prevention mechanism-side boss plate parts connected to the rotation prevention mechanisms and a drive shaft-side boss plate part connected to the drive shaft,
the boss plate part defines through holes that are provided immediately adjacent to: i) the rotation prevention mechanism-side boss plate parts, and ii) the drive shaft-side boss plate part, the through holes defining pairs of adjacent through holes in a circumferential direction of the boss plate part, and
arranged between each pair of adjacent through holes, along a radial direction of the boss plate part, there are three openings configured to receive fasteners, the three openings being arranged so as to define vertices of a triangle.

2. The scroll-type fluid machine according to claim 1 , wherein cooling wind passes through the through holes.

3. The scroll-type fluid machine according to claim 1 , wherein the through holes are formed at least on straight lines that connect the center part of the boss plate part and the center parts of the rotation prevention mechanisms.

4. The scroll-type fluid machine according to claim 1 , wherein cooling fins are provided in the orbiting scroll, and the cooling fins and the boss plate part are separated from each other.

5. The scroll-type fluid machine according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of the rotation prevention mechanism side boss plate parts are connected to each other by support parts, and the support parts and the drive shaft side boss plate part are connected to each other.

6. The scroll-type fluid machine according to claim 5 , wherein fastening parts that fasten the boss plate part and the orbiting scroll with each other are provided in the support part or the drive shaft side boss plate part, and are not provided in the rotation prevention mechanism side boss plate parts.

7. The scroll-type fluid machine according to claim 5 , wherein the dimension in the drive shaft direction of the support parts is longer than the dimension in the radial direction of the support parts.

8. A scroll-type fluid machine, comprising:
a stationary scroll;
an orbiting scroll that is provided opposing the stationary scroll and undergoes turning movement;
a drive shaft that drives and turns the orbiting scroll;
a boss plate part that is provided separated from the orbiting scroll and is connected to the drive shaft; and
a plurality of rotation prevention mechanisms that prevent the orbiting scroll from rotating, wherein
the boss plate part includes a plurality of rotation prevention mechanism-side boss plate parts connected to the rotation prevention mechanisms and a drive shaft-side boss plate part connected to the drive shaft,
the rotation prevention mechanism-side boss plate parts and the drive shaft-side boss plate part are not connected to each other in a radial direction of the boss plate part,
the boss plate part defines through holes that are provided immediately adjacent to: i) the rotation prevention mechanism-side boss plate parts, and ii) the drive shaft-side boss plate part, the through holes defining pairs of adjacent through holes in a circumferential direction of the boss plate part, and
arranged between each pair of adjacent through holes, along the radial direction of the boss plate part, there are three openings configured to receive fasteners, the three openings being arranged so as to define vertices of a triangle.

9. The scroll-type fluid machine according to claim 8 , wherein the through holes between the rotation prevention mechanism-side boss plate parts and the drive shaft-side boss plate part are ventilation holes through which cooling wind passes.

10. The scroll-type fluid machine according to claim 9 , wherein at least through holes on straight lines that connect the center part of the boss plate part and the center parts of the rotation prevention mechanisms to each other are the ventilation holes.

11. The scroll-type fluid machine according to claim 8 , wherein cooling fins are provided in the orbiting scroll, and the cooling fins and the boss plate part are separated from each other.

12. The scroll-type fluid machine according to claim 8 , wherein the boss plate part includes support parts that connect the plurality of the rotation prevention mechanism-side boss plate parts to each other, and the support parts and the drive shaft-side boss plate part are connected to each other.

13. The scroll-type fluid machine according to claim 12 , wherein fastening parts that fasten the boss plate part and the orbiting scroll with each other are provided in the support part or the drive shaft side boss plate part, and the fastening parts are not provided in the rotation prevention mechanism side boss plate parts.

14. The scroll-type fluid machine according to claim 12 , wherein the dimension in the drive shaft direction of the support parts is longer than the dimension in the radial direction of the support parts.
