Abstract

A scroll compressor includes a discharge port formed at a central portion thereof, a pair of two compression chambers continuously moving toward the discharge port, and a plurality of bypass portions formed at each interval along a movement path of each compression chamber in the both compression chambers. Compression gradients of the both compression chambers are different from each other. An interval between a bypass portion closest to the discharge port and another bypass portion adjacent to the bypass portion among the bypass portions of each compression chamber is defined as a first interval. The first interval of a second bypass portion belonging to a compression chamber having a relatively larger compression gradient is smaller than the first interval of a first bypass portion belonging to the other compression chamber.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A compressor, comprising:
a casing;
a drive motor provided in an inner space of the casing;
a rotating shaft coupled to the driving motor to rotate;
an orbiting scroll comprising an orbiting end plate coupled to the rotating shaft, and an orbiting wrap extended along a circumference of the orbiting end plate; and
a fixed scroll comprising a fixed end plate provided to face the orbiting scroll and a fixed wrap extending from the fixed end plate to engage the orbiting wrap to compress refrigerant,
wherein the fixed scroll further comprises:
a suction port penetrating through the fixed end plate to receive the refrigerant and spaced apart from an outermost of the fixed wrap,
a discharge port penetrating the fixed end plate to discharge the refrigerant, and spaced apart from an innermost of the fixed wrap, and
a bypass portion comprising a first hole portion including holes of bypass hole groups located inside from the fixed wrap with respect to a second shaft receiving hole of the fixed scroll to discharge the refrigerant, and a second hole portion including holes of bypass hole groups located outside far away from the fixed wrap with respect to the second shaft receiving hole of the fixed scroll to discharge the refrigerant, and wherein a total area of the second hole portion is greater than a total area of the first hole portion.

2. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein a diameter of each hole of the bypass hole groups constituting the second hole portion is larger than a diameter of each hole of the bypass hole groups constituting the first hole portion.

3. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein a number of the holes of the bypass hole groups constituting the second hole portion is greater than a number of the holes of the bypass hole groups constituting the first hole portion.

4. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the first hole portion and the second hole portion are provided in plurality in an extending direction of the fixed wrap, and
wherein each interval of the second hole portion is provided smaller than each interval of the first hole portion.

5. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the first hole portion and the second hole portion are provided in plurality in an extending direction of the fixed wrap, and
wherein each minimum interval of the second hole portion is smaller than each minimum interval of the first hole portion.

6. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the first hole portion and the second hole portion are provided in plurality in an extending direction of the fixed wrap, and
wherein each interval of the second hole portions disposed closest to the rotating shaft is smaller than each interval of the first hole portion disposed closest to the rotating shaft.

7. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein a total area of the holes of the bypass hole groups through which the gaseous refrigerant is discharged from the second hole portion is larger than a total area of the holes of the bypass hole groups through which the gaseous refrigerant is discharged from the first hole portion.

8. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the orbiting end plate comprises a shaft coupling portion coupled to the rotating shaft,
wherein the orbiting wrap that extends toward the casing along the circumference of the orbiting end plate from the shaft coupling portion, and
wherein the discharge port is provided spaced apart from the shaft coupling portion.

9. A compressor, comprising:
a casing;
a drive motor provided in an inner space of the casing;
a rotating shaft coupled to the driving motor to rotate;
an orbiting scroll comprising an orbiting end plate coupled to the rotating shaft, and an orbiting wrap extended along a circumference of the orbiting end plate; and
a fixed scroll comprising a fixed end plate provided to face the orbiting scroll and a fixed wrap extending from the fixed end plate to engage the orbiting wrap to compress refrigerant,
wherein the fixed scroll further comprises:
a suction port penetrating through the fixed end plate to receive the refrigerant and spaced apart from an outermost of the fixed wrap,
a discharge port penetrating the fixed end plate to discharge the refrigerant, and spaced apart from an innermost of the fixed wrap, and
a bypass portion comprising a first hole portion including holes of bypass hole groups located inside from the fixed wrap with respect to a second shaft receiving hole of the fixed scroll to discharge the refrigerant, and a second hole portion including holes of bypass hole groups located outside far away from the fixed wrap with respect to the second shaft receiving hole of the fixed scroll to discharge the refrigerant, and wherein the discharge port is provided to be spaced apart from a center of the fixed end plate.
