Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing technology, and in particular to a bearing structure for a scroll compressor. Background Technology

[0002] Scroll compressors are widely used in refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump industries due to their high efficiency, small size, light weight, and stable operation. Currently, scroll compressors are developing rapidly in my country and are gaining popularity due to their advantages such as high volumetric efficiency, high energy efficiency ratio, low vibration, fewer parts, and high speed. Specifically, the main structure of a scroll compressor includes a scroll assembly that compresses the refrigerant and a motor that drives the compression mechanism. The motor drives the moving scroll component in the scroll assembly to rotate relative to the stationary scroll component via a rotating shaft, thereby compressing the refrigerant gas. To enable the rotating shaft to rotate within the scroll compressor, upper and lower bearings are typically installed on both sides of the shaft. These bearings are aligned to ensure the rotational accuracy of the moving scroll component and prevent leakage or excessive wear. This invention relates to a bearing structure for a scroll compressor.

[0003] According to the published patent CN202321965761.1, "A Compressor Bearing," the compressor bearing includes an outer ring and an inner ring. The outer surface of the outer ring has a ball-removing hole. A cylindrical block is movably installed inside the ball-removing hole. The cylindrical block has two retaining cavities inside, and two retaining blocks are movably installed on the inner walls of the retaining cavities. The outer ring has two retaining grooves inside, and the inner walls of the retaining grooves are in contact with the outer surfaces of the retaining blocks. This invention uses retaining blocks to engage with the grooves, securing the cylindrical block within the ball-removing hole, thus enabling rapid installation of the bearing. A metal block quickly removes the cylindrical block from the ball-removing hole, allowing the balls to be quickly removed through the hole, facilitating easy removal of the balls from the bearing and simplifying installation and disassembly.

[0004] However, this utility model has the following problems in actual use: it is not convenient to lubricate the rolling elements between the outer ring and the inner ring of the bearing, the lubricating oil injection is troublesome, and the lubricating oil is unevenly distributed.
