Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide a scroll type fluid machine including a rotation stopping mechanism that can reduce noise released to the outside of the scroll type fluid machine by damping vibration transmitted from a movable scroll to a casing. In a scroll type fluid machine ( 1 ) including a rotation stopping mechanism ( 36 ) for stopping rotation of a movable scroll without hindering revolving motion of the movable scroll ( 16 ) relative to a fixed scroll ( 14 ) fixed to a casing ( 4 ), the rotation stopping mechanism includes: a support hole ( 42 ) drilled in either one of a base plate ( 16 a ) of the movable scroll and a pedestal part ( 4 a ) of the casing; a rotation stopping pin ( 38 ) that is fitted into the support hole, and is protruded to the side of the other of the base plate and the pedestal part; a restriction hole ( 46 ) that is drilled in the other of the base plate and the pedestal part, and is loosely fitted with the rotation stopping pin; and a buffer member ( 44 ) interposed, at least in the support hole out of the support hole and the restriction hole, between the support hole and the rotation stopping pin.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A scroll type fluid machine provided with a rotation stopping mechanism for stopping rotation of a movable scroll without hindering revolving movement of the movable scroll relative to a fixed scroll fixed to a casing, wherein the rotation stopping mechanism comprises: a support hole that is drilled in either one of a base plate on which a spiral wall of the movable scroll is uprightly installed, and a pedestal part of the casing, which is positioned opposed to the base plate; a rotation stopping pin that is fitted into the support hole, and is protruded to the side of the other of the base plate and the pedestal part; a restriction hole that is drilled in the other of the base plate and the pedestal part, and is loosely fitted with the rotation stopping pin; and a buffer member interposed, at least in the support hole out of the support hole and the restriction hole, between the support hole and the rotation stopping pin. 2 . A scroll type fluid machine provided with a rotation stopping mechanism for stopping rotation of a movable scroll without hindering revolving movement of the movable scroll relative to a fixed scroll fixed to a casing, wherein the rotation stopping mechanism comprises: a buffer member that is an annular plate disposed between a base plate on which a spiral wall of the movable scroll is uprightly installed, and a pedestal part of the casing, which is positioned opposed to the base plate; a first support hole that is drilled in the buffer material; a first rotation stopping pin that is fitted into the first support hole, and is protruded to the side of either one of the base plate and the pedestal part; a first restriction hole that is drilled in either one of the base plate and the pedestal part, and is loosely fitted with the rotation stopping pin; and restriction means for restricting movement of the buffer material relative to the other of the base plate and the pedestal. 3 . The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 2 , wherein the restriction means comprises: a second support hole that is drilled in the buffer member; a fixed pin that is fitted into the second support hole, and is protruded to the side of the other of the base plate and the pedestal part; and a third support hole that is drilled in the other of the base plate and the pedestal part, and is fitted with the fixed pin. 4 . The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 2 , wherein the restriction means comprises: a second support hole that is drilled in the buffer member; a second rotation stopping pin that is fitted into the second support hole, and is protruded to the side of the other of the base plate and the pedestal part; and a second restriction hole that is drilled in the other of the base plate and the pedestal part, and is loosely fitted with the second rotation stopping pin. 5 . The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 1 , wherein the buffer member is formed of a material having a vibration damping rate higher than that of the rotation stopping pin. 6 . The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 2 , comprising a back pressure structure, wherein as a result of revolving movement of the movable scroll relative to the fixed scroll, a back pressure chamber for working fluid including lubricant oil is formed between the pedestal part and the buffer member, and the movable scroll is pressed and biased against the fixed scroll via the buffer member by the back pressure chamber. 7 . The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 2 , wherein the buffer member is formed of a material having a vibration damping rate higher than that of the rotation stopping pin.
