[0010] Further, a tangential oil discharge groove is arranged on the edge side of each leg of the support body. One end of the tangential oil discharge groove is connected to the oil collecting groove, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the compressor shell.
[0011] Further, the tangential oil discharge groove is arranged in a direction tangent to the circle of the movement track of the scroll assembly. When the scroll assembly is in operation, the lubricating oil can be accelerated to be discharged by the rotating gas force.

[0018] Further, the tangential oil discharge groove is connected to the mirror oil groove.
[0019] After the compressor is operated, the movement of the crankshaft and the scroll assembly causes the lubricating oil in the upper support oil cup to overflow and flow around the support mirror. The lubricating oil exists in the form of oil droplets or oil mist in the compressor, and the refrigerant contacts part of the oil droplets or oil mist and is sucked into the scroll plate together, and then is discharged from the compressor exhaust port, so that the lubricating oil enters the refrigeration and heat system of each heat exchange equipment or pipeline, so that the lubricating oil in the compressor is continuously reduced, the lubrication of the mechanical parts is affected, and the reliability of the compressor is reduced. Therefore, the improved support structure with the oil collecting and guiding oil discharge functions is arranged in the compressor, the lubricating oil in the oil cup can flow back to the oil pool along the specific collection and guiding oil discharge groove arranged on the support structure under the action of gravity, so that the lubricating oil is prevented from being dissolved with the sucked refrigerant, and the reliability of the compressor and the efficiency of the system can be improved through the above method.
