Claims
- 1. A scroll fluid machine, characterized by comprising:
- a first scroll rotated about a first central axis by a drive source, wherein said first scroll comprises a disk-shaped end plate;
- a second scroll eccentric from said first central axis of said first scroll, said second scroll cooperating with said first scroll to form compression means to compress fluid, wherein said second scroll comprises a disk-shaped end plate;
- a planar shaped coupling which is provided on an outer rear surface of said disk-shaped end plate of one of said first and second scrolls on the opposite side of the compression means and engaged with said one scroll through by means at two positions in the periphery thereof so that said scrolls are movable in diametrical directions which are perpendicular to each other, respectively; and
- a pair of coupling arms which are provided on the other of said first and second scrolls and engaged with said coupling at two positions in the periphery thereof, in such a manner that the phantom line connecting the positions of engagement of said coupling arms is perpendicular to the phantom line connecting the positions of engagement of said coupling.
- 2. A scroll fluid machine as claimed in claim (1), in which said coupling is provided on an outer surface of said disk-shaped end plate of said first scroll.
- 3. A scroll fluid machine as claimed in claim (1), in which said coupling is provided on the side of said second scroll.
- 4. A scroll fluid machine as claimed in claim (1), (2) or (3), in which said coupling comprises: an annular base; and ribs having guide grooves which are radially outwardly extended from said annular base.
- 5. A scroll fluid machine as claimed in claim (1), (2) or (3), in which said coupling comprises: an annular member in the surface of which opposite to the adjacent end plate, guide grooves are formed in such a manner that said guide grooves are radially extended.
- 6. A scroll fluid machine as claimed in claim (5), in which each of said guide grooves is formed by ribs.
- 7. A scroll fluid machine as claimed in claim (1), in which each of said coupling arms is substantially L-shaped in section.
- 8. A scroll fluid machine as claimed in claim (1) or (7), in which said coupling arms are integral with the one of said first and second scrolls.
- 9. A scroll fluid machine as claimed in claim (1) or (8) in which said coupling arms are separated from the one of said first and second scrolls.
- 10. A scroll fluid machine, characterized by comprising:
- a first scroll rotated about a first central axis by a drive source, wherein said first scroll comprises a disk-shaped end plate;
- a second scroll eccentric from said first central axis of said first scroll, said second scroll cooperating with said first scroll to compress fluid, wherein said second scroll comprises a disk-shaped end plate;
- a coupling which is provided on an outer surface of said disk-shaped end plate of one of said first and second scrolls and engaged with said one scroll at two positions in the periphery thereof so that said scrolls are movable in diametrical directions which are perpendicular to each other, respectively; and
- a pair of U-shaped coupling arms which are provided on the other of said first and second scrolls and engaged with said coupling at two positions in the periphery thereof, in such a manner that the phantom line connecting the positions of engagement of said coupling arms is perpendicular to the phantom line connecting the positions of engagement of said coupling, wherein each of said coupling arms is substantially U-shaped in section.
