compression portion can be attached and detached as one structure.
[0021] Additionally, in the compressor according to one aspect of the present invention,
the housing may extend in a vertical direction, the first compression portion may
be a rotary compression portion that is disposed at a bottom portion in the housing,
and the second compression portion may be a scroll compression portion that is disposed

[0111] The orbiting wrap 86B having the above configuration is disposed so as to mesh with
the fixed wrap 85B. Accordingly, a compression chamber for compressing the refrigerant
is formed between the orbiting wrap 86B and the fixed wrap 85B. Then, as the orbiting
wrap 86B orbits with respect to the fixed scroll 85, the volume of the compression
chamber changes, and the refrigerant in the compression chamber is compressed.
[0112] The boss part 86C is provided on the lower surface of the end plate 86A and protrudes
downward. The boss part 86C is a member having a cylindrical shape, and a lower side
thereof is disposed in the recessed portion 64.
[0113] The scroll compression portion 79 having the above configuration further compresses
the refrigerant compressed by the two-cylinder rotary compression portion 78.
[0114] The fourth bolt 22 is fastened to the bolt hole 66 and the fourth bolt hole 41F
from the other side in the axis direction.
[0115] The fourth bolt 22 is a bolt for fixing the second compression mechanism 21 to the
motor stator support 42 in a state where the second compression mechanism 21 is detachable
from the motor stator support 42 (housing 11).
[0116] By fixing the second compression mechanism 21 to the housing main body 41 with the
fourth bolt 22 from the other side in the axis direction in this way, it is possible
to remove the second lid portion 45 from the housing main body 41 and then remove
the second compression mechanism 21 from the housing main body 41.
[0117] Accordingly, the maintenance of the second compression mechanism 21 and the components
of the compressor 10 disposed on the second compression mechanism 21 side and housed
in the housing 11 can be easily performed.
[0118] The motor 23 is housed in the housing 11 and has a motor rotor 58 and a motor stator
59.
[0119] The motor rotor 58 is fixed to an outer peripheral surface located at an intermediate
region of the rotary shaft main body 55 in the Z direction. The motor rotor 58 rotates
together with the rotary shaft 13.
[0120] The motor stator 59 is disposed on the motor stator support 42 such that an outer
portion of the lower surface 59a of the motor stator 59 comes into contact with the
upper surface 42a of the motor stator support 42. The motor stator 59 is disposed
outside the motor rotor 58 so as to face an outer peripheral surface of the motor
rotor 58.
[0121] A plurality of bolt holes 59A are formed in the motor stator 59. Each bolt hole 59A
is formed in the motor stator 59 facing each fifth bolt hole 42B in the Z direction.
The bolt hole 59A penetrates the motor stator 59 in the Z direction.
[0122] The fifth bolt 24 is fastened to the bolt hole 59A and the fifth bolt hole 42B from
the other side in the axis direction. The fifth bolt 24 is a bolt for fixing the motor
stator 59 to the motor stator support 42.
[0123] By having the bolt hole 59A formed in the motor stator 59 described above, the motor
stator support 42 in which the fifth bolt hole 42B is formed, and the fifth bolt 24,
the motor stator 59 can be easily positioned in the Z direction when the motor stator
59 is installed in the housing 11.
[0124] The bush assembly 27 is provided between the orbiting scroll 86 and the rotary shaft
13. The bush assembly 27 connects the orbiting scroll 86 and the rotary shaft 13 to
each other. The bush assembly 27 has a bush 27A provided between the eccentric shaft
portion 56 and the boss part 86C.
[0125] The thrust plate 29 is provided between the end plate 86A and the second bearing
portion 72. The thrust plate 29 is a member for holding a thrust load generated in
the orbiting scroll 86.
[0126] The Oldham ring 30 is provided between the end plate 86A and the end plate 85A. The
Oldham ring 30 has a protrusion fitted into grooves (not shown) formed in the end
plate 86A and the end plate 85A. The Oldham ring 30 is a member for suppressing the
rotation of the orbiting scroll 86 (rotation around the axis O
2) and converting the rotary motion of the rotary shaft main body 55 into an orbiting
motion.
[0127] The cover 31 is housed in the housing 11 and is provided on the upper surface of
the end plate 85A. The cover 31 forms a discharge chamber 31A between an inner surface
of the cover 31 and the upper surface of the end plate 85A.
[0128] When the discharge port 85C is opened by the discharge valve 26, the refrigerant
compressed by the scroll compression portion 79 is discharged into the discharge chamber
31A.
[0129] The discharge pipe 35 is provided in the housing 11 in a state of communicating with
the discharge chamber 31A. The discharge pipe 35 discharges the refrigerant compressed
by the compressor 10 to the outside of the compressor 10.
[0130] According to the compressor 10 of the present embodiment, by fixing the first lid
portion 44 to the housing main body 41 in a detachable state with the first bolts
46 from one side in the axis direction and by fixing the first compression mechanism
18 to the housing main body 41 with the third bolt 19 from one side in the axis direction,
it is possible to remove the first lid portion 44 from the housing main body 41 and
then remove the first compression mechanism 18 from the housing main body 41.
[0131] Accordingly, the maintenance of the first compression mechanism 18 and the components
of the compressor 10 disposed on the first compression mechanism 18 side and housed
in the housing 11 can be easily performed.
[0132] Additionally, by fixing the second lid portion 45 to the housing main body 41 in
a detachable state with the second bolts 47 from the other side in the axis direction
and by fixing the second compression mechanism 21 to the housing main body 41 with
the fourth bolt 22 from the other side in the axis direction, it is possible to remove
the second lid portion 45 from the housing main body 41 and then remove the second
compression mechanism 21 from the housing main body 41.
[0133] Accordingly, the maintenance of the second compression mechanism 21 and the components
of the compressor 10 disposed on the second compression mechanism 21 side and housed
in the housing 11 can be easily performed.
[0134] That is, the maintenance of the components of the compressor 10 housed in the housing
11 including the first and second compression mechanisms 18 and 21 can be easily performed.
[0135] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described
in detail above, the present invention is not limited to such specific embodiments,
and various modifications and changes can be made within the spirit of the present
invention described within the claims.
[0136] In addition, in the present embodiment, as an example of the compressor 10, a vertical
compressor in which the housing 11 and the rotary shaft 13 extend in the vertical
direction has been described as an example. However, for example, the present invention
is also applicable to a horizontal compressor in which the housing 11 and the rotary
shaft 13 extends in a horizontal direction orthogonal to the vertical direction.
[0137] Additionally, in the present embodiment, a case where the two-cylinder rotary compression
portion 78 is used as an example of the rotary compression portion has been described
as an example. However, instead of this, a single-cylinder rotary compression portion
may be used.
