Scroll type fluid machine having intermittent oil feed to working chamber

摘要

A scroll type fluid machine is provided with a mechanism for injecting oil into fluid working chambers such that a precise amount of oil is supplied without using any capillary tube, instead using intermittent oil feed from an oil sump through a communicating passage into the working chambers. Within a sealed casing, a first scroll having a spiral ridge and a second scroll having a spiral ridge are interleaved forming working chambers therebetween. A precise amount of oil is supplied to the working chambers from an oil sump which is in flow communication with an oil feed chamber provided on the end face of a cylinder member which is in sliding contact with the end plate of the second scroll. The oil feed chamber is in intermittent flow communication with a communicating passage which intermittently connects the oil feed chamber to the working chambers as the second scroll revolves.
