Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

One of a pair of a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll is the scroll including a step portion provided only at a predetermined position along a spiral direction on a blade bottom surface of a spiral wrap, and the other one of the scrolls is the scroll including a step portion provided only at a predetermined position along a spiral direction on a blade tip surface of a spiral wrap. A blade bottom surface of an end plate of the fixed scroll is set as a reference surface for setting a chip gap between both the scrolls. When a wrap height of the spiral wrap of the orbiting scroll is represented by (L) (Lo, Li) and a wrap height of the spiral wrap of the fixed scroll is represented by (lo, li), L (Lo, Li)>1 (lo, li) is satisfied.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A scroll fluid machine comprising: a pair of a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll having a structure in which spiral wraps are erected on end plates, respectively, and the spiral wraps engage with each other, wherein one of the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll is a scroll including a step portion provided only at a predetermined position along a spiral direction on a blade bottom surface of the spiral wrap, and the other one of the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll is a scroll including a step portion provided only at a predetermined position along a spiral direction on a blade tip surface of the spiral wrap, an entire blade bottom surface of the end plate of the scroll which does not include the step portion on the blade bottom surface is set as a reference surface for setting a chip gap between the blade bottom surface of the end plate of the scroll and the blade tip surface of the spiral wrap of a counterpart scroll to engage with the scroll, a wrap height of the spiral wrap of the scroll including the step portion on the blade bottom surface is made to be equal to a distance from the reference surface to the blade bottom surface on which the step portion is formed, and when the wrap height of the spiral wrap of the scroll including the step portion on the blade bottom surface is represented by L and a wrap height of the spiral wrap of the scroll which does not include the step portion on the blade bottom surface is represented by 1, L>1 is satisfied, so that the blade tip surface of the scroll including the step portion on the blade bottom surface is brought into contact with the reference surface, and the blade tip surface of the scroll which does not include the step portion on the blade bottom surface is not brought into contact with the blade bottom surface of the scroll including the step portion on the blade bottom surface. 2. The scroll fluid machine according to claim 1 , wherein the fixed scroll is the scroll which does not include the step portion on the blade bottom surface.
