Scroll-type compressor assembly means

Abstract

A scroll-type compressor assembly means has one or multiple positioning holes provided on a positioning post of the frame, and a positioning element to fix a retaining spacer to the frame for the retaining spacer to limit the stationary scroll and to define an ideal spacing between the positioning post and the stationary scroll; the ideal spacing not affected by the locking location of the positioning element to the positioning post that is far away from the ideal spacing or the stationery scroll for assurance of assembly quality of the compressor and prevention of operation noise or frustrated operation due to unpredictable change or narrowed ideal spacing between the positioning post and stationary scroll because that the positioning post is deformed.

1 - 4 . (canceled)  
   
   
       5 . An assembly device for a scroll-type compressor comprising: 
 a) a frame having: 
 i) a bottom protrusion extending downwardly from a bottom thereof; and  
 ii) at least one positioning post extending upwardly from a top thereof, each of the at least one positioning post having at least one positioning hole extending through the at least one positioning post and having a bottom portion extending into the bottom protrusion, the at least one positioning hole having a locking device located in the bottom protrusion;  
   b) a retaining element securing a stationary scroll of the scroll-type compressor in a predetermined position; and    c) a positioning element inserted through the retaining element and into each of the at least one positioning hole, the positioning element having a first end locking the retaining element to the frame and a second end connected to the locking device of one of the at least one positioning hole,    wherein, in the predetermined position, the stationary scroll is spaced apart from each of the at least one positioning post.    
   
   
       6 . The assembly device according to  claim 5 , wherein the locking portion of the at least one positioning hole is an internal thread connected to an external thre ad of the positioning element.
