Abstract

A scroll for a scroll compressor and a scroll compressor is disclosed. The scroll includes an end plate having first and second surfaces opposite to each other; a scroll wrap extending from the first surface of the end plate; and at least one oil hole including a first oil hole portion extending in the end plate, and a second oil hole portion extending in the end plate and the scroll wrap and extending from the first oil hole portion to a strip-shaped surface of the scroll wrap away from the end plate, the second oil hole portion having an opening in the strip-shaped surface of the scroll wrap. The oil hole reduces circulation rate of the lubricating oil and temperature of the discharged refrigerant.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified

         4 . The scroll for the scroll compressor according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first oil hole portion extends along a plane perpendicular to a rotation axis of the scroll, and the second oil hole portion extends in a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the scroll.   
     
     
         5 . The scroll for the scroll compressor according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first oil hole portion extends along a plane inclined relative to a rotational axis of the scroll, and the second oil hole portion extends in a direction parallel to the rotational axis of the scroll.   
     
     
         6 . The scroll for the scroll compressor according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first oil hole portion extends in a radial direction of the scroll.   
     
     
         7 . The scroll for the scroll compressor according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the opening of the second oil hole portion is located in an outer end of the strip-shaped surface of the scroll wrap.   
     
     
         8 . The scroll for the scroll compressor according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the opening of the second oil hole portion is spaced from an outer end of the strip-shaped surface of the scroll wrap by an angle of 175 to 185 degrees.   
     
     
         9 . The scroll for the scroll compressor according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the at least one oil hole comprises multiple oil holes, the opening of the second oil hole portion of a first oil hole among the multiple oil holes is located in an outer end of the strip-shaped surface of the scroll wrap, while the opening of the second oil hole portion of a second oil hole among the multiple oil holes is spaced from the opening of the second oil hole portion of the first oil hole by an angle of 175 to 185 degrees.   
     
     
         10 . The scroll for the scroll compressor according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a strip-shaped groove located in the strip-shaped surface of the scroll wrap, wherein the opening of the second oil hole portion is located on an outer side of the strip-shaped groove.   
     
     
         11 . The scroll for the scroll compressor according to  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a strip-shaped groove located in the strip-shaped surface of the scroll wrap, wherein the opening of the second oil hole portion is located on an outer side of an outer end of the strip-shaped groove in a circumferential direction of the scroll wrap.   
     
     
         12 . The scroll for the scroll compressor according to  claim 8 , further comprising:
 a strip-shaped groove located in the strip-shaped surface of the scroll wrap, wherein the opening of the second oil hole portion is located on an outer side of the strip-shaped groove in a radial direction of the scroll wrap.   
     
     
         13 . The scroll for the scroll compressor according to  claim 9 , further comprising:
 a strip-shaped groove located in the strip-shaped surface of the scroll wrap, wherein the opening of the second oil hole portion of the first oil hole among the multiple oil holes is located on an outer side of an outer end of the strip-shaped groove in a circumferential direction of the scroll wrap, and the opening of the second oil hole portion of the second oil hole among the multiple oil holes is located on an outer side of the strip-shaped groove in a radial direction of the scroll wrap.   
     
     
         14 . A scroll compressor, comprising:
 the scroll according to  claim 1 .   
     
     
         15 . A scroll compressor, comprising:
 a first scroll comprising a first end plate and a first scroll extending downwardly from the first end plate;   a second scroll comprising a second end plate and a second scroll wrap extending upwardly from the second end plate, the second scroll and the first scroll being engaged with each other to form a compression chamber for compressing a refrigerant, the second scroll being the scroll according to  claim 1 ;   a motor;   a driving member located below the second scroll, the motor driving a rotation of the first scroll by the driving member, and the first scroll driving a rotation of the second scroll; and   a bracket, on which the driving member being rotatably supported.
