A unique bearing system for particular use in scroll compressors includes a pair of spaced tapered portions. Upon misalignment of the shaft, the tapered portions contact the bearing and provide surface contact between the shaft and the bearing. This allows the bearing to more easily distribute the loads that are placed onto the bearing during shaft misalignment.

A unique protection circuit for a sealed compressor incorporates oil structure which directs a heated oil onto a motor protection circuit. The motor protection circuit is of the type which shuts down operation of an electric motor when a predetermined temperature is sensed. The motor protection circuit is positioned adjacent to an oil return path which is opened when a high temperature is experienced in the compressor pump unit. The valve in the path opens to allow flow of the returned oil onto the motor protection switch. The motor protection switch is then actuated to stop further operation of the motor. In another embodiment, the motor protection switch is immersed in the oil sump. Again, when the oil temperature increases to a predetermined amount, the motor protection switch stops further operation of the motor.

A compact Oldham coupling has an inner surface defined by two sections of a circle joined by a pair of chords with an outer surface defined by three circular sections located radially outward of each of the two sections of a circle. The center portion of the three circular sections has the same center as the two sections of a circle such that the central portions of the coupling are of uniform radial thickness and the adjacent curved sections are of varying radial thickness.

The annular piston of a rolling piston compressor coacts with a groove in valving action such that the groove serves as a supplemental discharge flow area but gas therein is prevented from constituting part of the suction flow. The groove may be in the motor end bearing and/or pump end bearing and permits flow from the compression chamber to the interior of the piston which is in fluid communication with the interior of the shell while the compression chamber is undergoing discharge.

An improved scroll compressor lubrication system includes a number of embodiments wherein a lubricant port in the orbiting scroll supplies lubricant to the compression chambers throughout its entire orbiting cycle. The lubricant port is aligned with a recess in a flange of the fixed scroll throughout its entire orbiting cycle. In a further embodiment, the lubricant port is exposed to the compression chamber throughout its entire cycle. In other embodiments, the fixed scroll is provided with recesses spaced from each other by approximately 180. degree. The lubricant port moves sequentially into and out of communication with these spaced recesses to supply lubricant to the compression chambers.

Co-orbiting scroll members are maintained in a fixed angular relationship. An anti-rotation structure limits one of the scroll members to orbiting motion with respect to the separator plate. In a first embodiment the scroll members coact with a common anti-rotation structure while in a second embodiment the other scroll coacts with an anti-rotation structure which coacts with the crankcase. The scroll members orbit in orbits of different radii.

A scroll compressor that includes a shell and scroll compressor bodies disposed in the shell. The scroll bodies include a first scroll body and a second scroll body, where the first and second scroll bodies have respective bases and respective scroll ribs that project from the respective bases. The scroll ribs are configured to mutually engage, and the second scroll body is movable relative to the first scroll body for compressing fluid. A pilot ring engages a perimeter surface of the first scroll body to limit movement of the first scroll body in the radial direction. Further, the shell includes different inner diameters to facilitate press fitting a motor into the shell where the motor includes lubricant flow passages.

A scroll compressor is provided with a generally spiral wrap having an abradable or conformable coating on radially inner portions of its tip. The coating is not applied to radially outer portions. During operation of the scroll compressor, the coating will eliminate tip gap leakage adjacent radially inner, higher discharge pressure portions of the compression process. The outer, non-coated portions will bear the axial load, and ensure the coating will not wear away to an undue amount.

An abradable coating is formed on portions of the flank wall of the wraps of a scroll compressor. The radially outer portions of the flank wall are left uncoated, and can bear a force between the scroll wraps. In this manner, the load is not transferred through a coated portion, but rather through the uncoated portion. As the scroll wraps move relative to each other at run-in, the abradable coating wears away leaving a tight fit between the flank walls at the radially inner locations.
