Axial sealing device for a scroll type fluid displacement apparatus
Abstract
Abstract A scroll type fluid displacement apparatus is disclosed having a pair of scroll members (25, 26) each comprising an end plate (251, 261) and a spiral wrap (252, 262) extending from one side of the end plate (251, 261). The spiral wraps interfit at an angularand radial offsetto make a plurality of line contacts to define et least one pair of sealed off fluid pockets. At least one of the scroll members has a discharge port or fluid hole (258) at position nearthe center of the spiral element (25) and is provided with an anti-wear plate at its end surface facing the other scroll member. The anti-wear plate (40) is an involute platethat covers those areas of the end surface of the end plate (251) where the spiral wrap (262) of the other scroll member (26) makes contact during the orbital motion of the orbiting scroll member (26). The center portion of the anti-wear plate (40) which is closely placed on the fluid hole (258) has a cut out portion to avoid the contact with or cover up the fluid hole thereby. Therefore, the repeatedly movement of center portion of anti-wear plate by passing fluid flowed through the hole is avoided.
