Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A scroll compressor is provided. That is, in a shaft penetration scroll compressor in which an eccentric portion of the rotational shaft is overlapped with an orbiting wrap of the orbiting scroll in a radial direction, an oil hole that supplies oil inhaled through an oil passage of the rotational shaft to a thrust bearing surface of the orbiting scroll may be formed at the fixed scroll, and thus, the orbiting scroll may be supported by pressure of oil supplied to the thrust bearing surface through the oil hole to prevent tilting of the orbiting scroll due to eccentricity of a gas force, thereby enhancing reliability and performance of the compressor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A scroll compressor, comprising: a fixed scroll having a fixed wrap; an orbiting scroll having an orbiting wrap engaged with the fixed wrap to form first and second compression chambers at an outer surface and an inner surface of the orbiting wrap, respectively, that performs an orbiting movement with respect to the fixed scroll; a rotational shaft having an eccentric portion, and an oil passage that extends in an axial direction, and combined with the o…
