Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A scroll type fluid machine, for improving a dimensional accuracy with easy working, includes a fixed scroll, an orbiting scroll arranged so as to oppose to the fixed scroll and executing an orbiting motion, a driving shaft driving the orbiting scroll, an eccentric shaft decentered from the driving shaft and connected to the orbiting scroll, and an eccentric bush connecting the driving shaft and the eccentric shaft to each other, in which the eccentric bush includes a main hole into which the driving shaft is fitted and an eccentric hole into which the eccentric shaft is fitted, and the eccentric hole is decentered with respect to the main hole.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A scroll type fluid machine, comprising: a fixed scroll; an orbiting scroll arranged so as to oppose to the fixed scroll and executing an orbiting motion; a driving shaft driving the orbiting scroll; an eccentric shaft decentered from the driving shaft and connected to the orbiting scroll; an eccentric bush connecting the driving shaft and the eccentric shaft to each other; and a fixing bolt fixing the eccentric bush and the eccentric shaft to the driving shaft, wherein the eccentric bush has a main hole into which the driving shaft is fitted and an eccentric hole into which the eccentric shaft is fitted, and the eccentric hole is decentered with respect to the main hole. 2. The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 1 , wherein the main hole and the eccentric hole penetrate the eccentric bush. 3. The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 1 , wherein the main hole and the eccentric hole are formed at positions so that one of the main and eccentric holes does not protrude from the other of the main and eccentric holes outward in a radial direction as viewed in a direction where the driving shaft extends. 4. The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 1 , wherein, when a diameter of one of the main hole and the eccentric hole is made A, a diameter of the other is made B, and an eccentricity amount of the orbiting scroll is made ε, (A/2−ε)>B/2 is achieved. 5. The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 1 , wherein the eccentric bush and a balance weight that adjusts weight balance of the eccentric shaft are formed integrally. 6. The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 1 , wherein a main bearing supporting the driving shaft is arranged between the eccentric bush and a balance weight that adjusts weight balance of the eccentric shaft. 7. The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 1 , wherein an eccentric bearing supporting the eccentric shaft is arranged between the eccentric bush and the orbiting scroll. 8. The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of a first part of the eccentric bush into which the eccentric shaft is fitted is not decentered with respect to an outer surface of a second part of the eccentric bush into which the driving shaft is fitted. 9. A scroll type fluid machine, comprising: a fixed scroll; an orbiting scroll arranged so as to oppose to the fixed scroll and executing an orbiting motion; a driving shaft driving the orbiting scroll; an eccentric shaft decentered from the driving shaft and connected to the orbiting scroll; an eccentric bush in which a main hole into which the driving shaft is fitted and an eccentric hole into which the eccentric shaft is fitted are arranged; and a fixing bolt fixing the eccentric bush and the eccentric shaft to the driving shaft, wherein the eccentric shaft is decentered with respect to the driving shaft by decentering the eccentric hole with respect to the main hole. 10. The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 9 , wherein the main hole and the eccentric hole penetrate the eccentric bush. 11. The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 9 , wherein the main hole and the eccentric hole are formed at positions so that one of the main and eccentric holes does not protrude from the other of the main and eccentric holes outward in a radial direction as viewed in a direction where the driving shaft extends. 12. The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 8 , wherein, when a diameter of one of the main hole and the eccentric hole is made A, a diameter of the other is made B, and an eccentricity amount of the orbiting scroll is made ε, (A/2−ε)>B/2 is achieved. 13. The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 9 , wherein the eccentric bush and a balance weight that adjusts weight balance of the eccentric shaft are formed integrally. 14. The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 9 , wherein a main bearing supporting the driving shaft is arranged between the eccentric bush and a balance weight that adjusts balance of the eccentric shaft. 15. The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 9 , wherein an eccentric bearing supporting the eccentric shaft is arranged between the eccentric bush and the orbiting scroll. 16. The scroll type fluid machine according to claim 9 , wherein an outer surface of a first part of the eccentric bush into which the eccentric shaft is fitted is not decentered with respect to an outer surface of a second part of the eccentric bush into which the driving shaft is fitted.
