Abstract

An eccentric bush assembly structure of a scroll compressor, in which an orbiting scroll is eccentrically coupled to a rotary shaft of a drive motor, including a bush body rotatably coupled to the orbiting scroll while being pinned to the rotary shaft of the drive motor by an eccentric shaft, the bush body having a friction prevention groove formed in a surface facing a tip surface of the rotary shaft so as not to come into frictional contact with the tip surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An eccentric bush assembly structure of a scroll compressor, in which an orbiting scroll is eccentrically coupled to a rotary shaft of a drive motor, comprising:
a bush body rotatably coupled to the orbiting scroll while pinned to the rotary shaft of the drive motor by an eccentric shaft, the bush body having a bushing surface facing a tip surface of the rotary shaft, wherein a friction prevention groove is formed in at least one of the bushing surface of the bush body and the tip surface of the rotary shaft and forms a non-contact portion between the bush body and the rotary shaft, wherein the bush body has a rotary shaft receiving groove receiving a tip portion of the rotary shaft of the drive motor and the bushing surface is formed in the rotary shaft receiving groove.

2. The eccentric bush assembly structure according to claim 1 , wherein the eccentric shaft is integrally formed with either the rotary shaft or the bush body.

3. The eccentric bush assembly structure according to claim 2 , wherein a pin hole in which the eccentric shaft is fitted is formed on the other of the rotary shaft and the bush body.

4. The eccentric bush assembly structure according to claim 1 , wherein the eccentric shaft is formed separately from the rotary shaft and the bush body.

5. The eccentric bush assembly structure according to claim 4 , wherein a pin hole in which one end portion of the eccentric shaft is fitted is formed on the rotary shaft, and wherein a pin hole in which the other end portion of the eccentric shaft is fitted is formed on the bush body.

6. The eccentric bush assembly structure according to claim 1 , wherein the friction prevention groove has a circular shape.

7. The eccentric bush assembly structure according to claim 6 , wherein a centerline of rotation of the rotary shaft is located in the circular shape of the friction prevention groove.

8. The eccentric bush assembly structure according to claim 6 , wherein a center of the circular shape of the friction prevention groove is located within a range of the tip surface of the rotary shaft.

9. The eccentric bush assembly structure according to claim 1 , wherein the friction prevention groove overlaps a pin hole of the bush body.

10. The eccentric bush assembly structure according to claim 1 , wherein a relationship between an area of the friction prevention groove S 1 and an area of the bushing surface S 0 of the rotary shaft receiving groove satisfies the following condition:

11. The eccentric bush assembly structure according to claim 10 , wherein the friction prevention groove has a depth of 1 millimeter or less.

12. The eccentric bush assembly structure according to claim 1 , wherein the bush body is integrally formed with a balance weight.

13. A scroll compressor comprising the eccentric bush assembly structure according to claim 1 .
