An annular reinforcing rib 83 is fixedly connected between the mounting seat 84 and the cylinder head 8. It should be noted that the scroll compressor in this embodiment adopts a semi-closed structure.

[0051] In this embodiment, the number of the mounting seats 84 is six, and they are spaced apart and evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the cylinder head 8. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the mounting seats 84 can also be set according to actual needs and will not be further limited here.

[0052] Optionally, to facilitate the discharge of the compressed gas, a sound-absorbing cavity 82 and an exhaust port 81 communicating with the sound-absorbing cavity 82 are provided within the cylinder head 8. The sound-absorbing cavity 82 communicates with the compression chamber.

[0053] In this embodiment, a plurality of first air suction grooves 21 and oil return grooves 22 are arranged at intervals on the side wall of the stationary scroll 2. The plurality of first air suction grooves 21 and the oil return grooves 22 are both communicated with the compression chamber. The housing 7 is provided with an air suction port 71 and a plurality of second air suction grooves 72 that are communicated with the air suction port 71 and arranged at intervals, and an oil sump 73 is arranged at the bottom. The bracket 3 is provided with a plurality of air suction holes 32 and oil return holes 33 at intervals. The position of the oil sump 73 corresponds to and cooperates with the oil return holes 33 and the oil return grooves 22 to form an oil return passage, so as to meet the oil return of the scroll compressor. The position of the air suction port 71 corresponds to and cooperates with the second air suction grooves 72, the air suction holes 32, and the first air suction grooves 21 to form an air supply passage, so as to supply air to the compression chamber.

[0054] Optionally, the compression mechanism further includes a second vibration damping ring 9. The bracket 3 is arranged between the stationary scroll 2 and the inner wall of the housing 7, and the second vibration damping ring 9 is arranged between the bracket 3 and the inner wall of the housing 7.

The plurality of first convex segments 13 and the plurality of second convex segments 14 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the bracket 3 is partially supported on the first convex segments 13 and the second convex segments 14. With such a setting, during actual assembly, the bracket 3 is axially pressed on the second vibration damping ring 9. As the axial locking force gradually increases, the second vibration damping ring 9 is compressed until the bracket 3 reaches and abuts against the first convex segments 13 and the second convex segments 14, so as to achieve the function of axial positioning and ensure the axial assembly accuracy between the housing 7 and the bracket 3. It adopts an intermittent rigid-flexible cooperation method, which not only retains the stability of the rigid cooperation but also utilizes the damping effect and vibration isolation effect of the elastic material of the second vibration damping ring 9 to achieve the purpose of ensuring the fitting accuracy and improving vibration and noise, that is, it not only ensures the axial assembly accuracy of the bracket 3, the stationary scroll 2 arranged on the bracket 3, and other related parts, but also weakens the transmission of vibration and noise from the bracket 3 to the housing 7. It should be noted that Figure 10 the arrow direction in

[0057] Specifically, when the scroll compressor is actually operating, the vibration and noise generated by the moving scroll 1 act on the thrust plate 4. During the process of the vibration and noise being transmitted to the bracket 3, they are attenuated by the first vibration damping ring 5 between the thrust plate 4 and the bracket 3. The attenuated vibration and noise will continue to be transmitted to the bracket 3. At the same time, the vibration and noise generated by the stationary scroll 2 will also be directly transmitted to the bracket 3. When the two continue to be transmitted to the housing 7, they will encounter the second vibration damping ring 9 and be further attenuated by it, so as to optimize the overall vibration and noise performance of the scroll compressor.
