Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of compressors, and in particular to a fixed scroll plate with an exhaust check function, a pump body assembly and a scroll compressor. Background Art
[0002] The scroll compressor consists of a sealed shell, a fixed scroll, a movable scroll, a bracket, an eccentric crankshaft, an anti-rotation mechanism and a motor. The profiles of the movable and fixed scrolls are both spiral. The movable scroll is eccentric to the fixed scroll and installed 180° apart, so multiple crescent-shaped spaces are formed between the movable and fixed scrolls. The movable scroll rotates with the center of the fixed scroll as the center and rotates at a certain rotation eccentric radius without self-rotation. The outer crescent-shaped space moves continuously toward the center. At this time, the refrigerant is gradually pushed toward the center space, and its volume continues to shrink while the pressure continues to increase until it is connected to the central exhaust hole, and the high-pressure refrigerant is discharged from the pump body.
[0003] When the scroll compressor stops, the high-pressure refrigerant on the exhaust side will flow back to the suction side, causing reverse noise and even damage to the pump structure. Therefore, scroll compressors are equipped with an anti-reverse mechanism, which is usually a set of one-way check valves. Currently, scroll compressors are developing towards high speed and large displacement, and often operate under conditions with a large pressure difference between the discharge pressure and the suction pressure. Under this condition, the one-way check valve plate repeatedly hits the pump body and the baffle, which is prone to valve plate breakage. Summary of the invention

[0057] The scroll compressor consists of a sealed shell, a fixed scroll, a movable scroll, a bracket, an eccentric crankshaft, an anti-rotation mechanism and a motor. The profiles of the movable and fixed scrolls are both spiral. The movable scroll is eccentric to the fixed scroll and installed 180° apart, so multiple crescent-shaped spaces are formed between the movable and fixed scrolls. The movable scroll rotates with the center of the fixed scroll as the center and rotates at a certain rotation eccentric radius without self-rotation. The outer crescent-shaped space moves continuously toward the center. At this time, the refrigerant is gradually pushed toward the center space, and its volume continues to shrink while the pressure continues to increase until it is connected to the central exhaust hole, and the high-pressure refrigerant is discharged from the pump body.
[0058] When the scroll compressor stops, the high-pressure refrigerant on the exhaust side will flow back to the suction side, causing reverse noise and even damage to the pump structure. Therefore, scroll compressors are equipped with an anti-reverse mechanism, which is usually a set of one-way check valves. Currently, scroll compressors are developing towards high speed and large displacement, and often operate under conditions with a large pressure difference between the discharge pressure and the suction pressure. Under this condition, the one-way check valve plate repeatedly hits the pump body and the baffle, which is prone to valve plate breakage.
[0059] Example 1
[0060] Based on this, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, in a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a fixed scroll with an exhaust check function is provided, which is used to cooperate with a movable scroll of a scroll compressor, and the fixed scroll includes:
[0061] The end plate 100 has a front side 101 facing the orbiting scroll and a back side 102 opposite to the front side 101. The front side of the end plate 100 is provided with a fixed scroll gear 103. The end plate 100 is also provided with an exhaust hole 104 penetrating the front side 101 and the back side 102 of the end plate; preferably, the exhaust hole 104 is provided in the middle of the end plate 100;
[0062] The exhaust check device 200 is installed on the back side 102 of the end plate 100. The exhaust check device 200 includes a check valve seat 201 fixed on the back side of the end plate 100 and a check valve plate 202 installed in the check valve seat 201. The check valve plate 202 is arranged corresponding to the exhaust hole 104 and can move up and down relative to the check valve seat 201 to open or close the exhaust hole 104. When the exhaust hole 104 is exhausted, the check valve plate 202 can move upward under the upward push of the refrigerant to open the exhaust hole 104. When the exhaust hole 104 stops exhausting, the check valve plate 202 can move downward under the downward push of the refrigerant to close the exhaust hole 104.
[0063] The exhaust check device 200 further includes a buffer structure disposed between the check valve plate 202 and the back side 102 of the end plate, and the buffer structure is used to cooperate with the check valve plate 202 when the check valve plate 202 moves downward to reduce the impact force of the check valve plate 202 when it moves downward.
[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, a buffer structure is provided between the check valve plate 202 and the back side 102 of the end plate 100, so that the impact force of the check valve plate 202 when moving downward can be reduced, thereby effectively protecting the check valve plate 202 and preventing the check valve plate 202 from breaking.
[0065] Specifically, by providing a buffer structure to slow down the impact force of the check valve plate 202 when it moves downward, the impact force of the check valve plate 202 when it moves downward can be effectively reduced, and the check valve plate 202 can be prevented from breaking. Thereby improving the durability of the check valve plate 202 and the reliability of the entire scroll compressor. The check valve plate 202 can automatically open or close the exhaust hole 104 according to the pressure change of the refrigerant, ensuring that the high-pressure refrigerant can be discharged smoothly during exhaust, and can prevent the refrigerant from flowing back when the exhaust is stopped, which helps to improve the exhaust efficiency and the overall performance of the compressor. The effective exhaust check function can prevent unnecessary leakage of the refrigerant, reduce energy loss, and thus improve the energy efficiency of the entire system. It is worth noting that the design can adapt to different working conditions, especially under conditions where the pressure difference between the exhaust pressure and the suction pressure is large, it can still maintain stable performance, which enhances the adaptability of the compressor to different working conditions.
[0066] Further, in some possible implementations, the buffer structure includes a buffer member 203 fixed on the back surface 102 of the end plate, the buffer member 203 includes a lower mating surface 2031 fixedly matched with the back surface 102 of the end plate and an upper mating surface 2032 opposite to the lower mating surface 2031, and an air outlet 2033 penetrating the upper mating surface 2032 and the lower mating surface 2031 is formed on the buffer member 203;
[0067] The air outlet hole 2033 is arranged corresponding to the exhaust hole 104 on the end plate 100 and an air flow channel is formed between the two. When the check valve plate 202 moves downward, the check valve plate 202 can cooperate with the upper mating surface 2032 of the buffer component 203 and seal the air outlet hole 2033 of the buffer component 203 to close the air flow channel formed by the air outlet hole 2033 and the exhaust hole 104.
[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, an air outlet hole 2033 is provided on the buffer 203, and the air outlet hole 2033 and the exhaust hole 104 form an air flow channel. When the check valve plate 202 moves downward, the air flow channel can be closed, which helps to control the air flow more accurately, prevent the refrigerant from flowing back at inappropriate times, and improve the efficiency of the compressor. The matching design of the check valve plate 202 and the upper matching surface 2032 of the buffer 203 enhances the sealing performance, ensuring that when the compressor stops exhausting, the refrigerant will not leak through the channel between the air outlet hole 2033 and the exhaust hole 104, thereby improving the sealing and reliability of the system.
[0069] Further, in some possible implementations, the buffer member 203 includes a disc spring fixedly disposed on the back surface 102 of the end plate, and the disc spring is formed with a lower mating surface 2031 with a large diameter and an upper mating surface 2032 with a small diameter in its compression direction;
[0070] When the disc spring is mated with the back side 102 of the end plate through the lower mating surface 2031 of the large diameter, a compression chamber 300 is formed between the inner cavity of the disc spring and the back side 102 of the end plate.
[0071] The disc spring in the embodiment of the present application is an elastic element with good buffering and vibration reduction effects. The large-diameter lower mating surface 2031 of the disc spring cooperates with the back side 102 of the end plate to effectively absorb the impact force of the check valve plate 202 when it moves downward, reducing damage to the check valve plate 202. The large-diameter lower mating surface 2031 of the disc spring cooperates with the back side 102 of the end plate to provide a stable support point, which helps to maintain the stability of the check valve plate 202 during movement and reduce wear and noise caused by vibration. The compression chamber 300 between the disc spring and the back side 102 of the end plate is designed to store compression energy. When the check valve plate 202 falls rapidly, the compressed air in the compression chamber 300 can further slow down the impact of the check valve plate 202 and improve the buffering effect. The upper mating surface 2032 of the disc spring has a small contact area with the check valve plate 202, which helps to seal the air outlet 2033 more tightly when the check valve plate 202 moves downward, thereby improving the sealing performance of the system.
[0072] Further, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 4As shown, the back side 102 of the end plate is formed with a first mounting surface 1021 and a second mounting surface 1022 which are located at the periphery of the exhaust hole 104 and are in a stepped shape. The first mounting surface 1021 is arranged away from the exhaust hole 104 relative to the second mounting surface 1022. A threaded hole 10211 is formed on the first mounting surface 1021. A mounting hole 2011 corresponding to the threaded hole 10211 is formed on the check valve seat 201. The check valve seat 201 is fixed to the first mounting surface 1021 of the end plate 100 by a positioning bolt 400 which penetrates the mounting hole 2011 and the threaded hole 10211, wherein a part of the bottom end of the check valve seat 201 is interference-fitted with the first mounting surface 1021, and another part is clearance-fitted with the second mounting surface 1022 to form an embedded area.
[0073] The outer periphery of the disc spring is also formed with an annular conical transition surface 2034 between the upper mating surface 2032 and the lower mating surface 2031, and an annular pressing surface 2035 is also formed between the bottom end of the annular conical transition surface 2034 and the outer periphery of the lower mating surface 2031;
[0074] At least a portion of the annular pressing surface 2035 is embedded in the embedding area and is interference fit with the second mounting surface 1022 on the end plate 100 and the bottom end surface of the check valve seat 201 .
[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, a stepped first mounting surface 1021 and a second mounting surface 1022 are provided on the back side 102 of the end plate. On the one hand, the check valve seat 201 is fixed by the cooperation between the first mounting surface 1021 and the check valve seat 201. On the other hand, a part of the bottom end of the check valve seat 201 is interference fit with the first mounting surface 1021, and the other part is gap fit with the second mounting surface 1022 to form an embedding area, and at least a part of the annular pressing surface 2035 of the disc spring is embedded in the embedding area. In this way, when the check valve seat 201 is fixed by the positioning bolt 400, the disc spring can also be fixed to the back side 102 of the end plate, thereby eliminating the need to separately provide a locking structure to fix the disc spring.
[0076] Furthermore, in some possible implementations, the central axis of the air outlet hole 2033 of the buffer member 203 coincides with the central axis of the air outlet hole 104 on the end plate 100 , and the aperture of the air outlet hole 2033 is greater than or equal to the aperture of the air outlet hole 104 .
[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the central axis of the air outlet hole 2033 and the exhaust hole 104 is set to coincide, thereby ensuring the linearity of the airflow channel, reducing the disturbance and pressure loss of the airflow when passing through, thereby optimizing the flow characteristics of the airflow. By setting the aperture of the air outlet hole 2033 to be greater than or equal to the aperture of the exhaust hole 104, this design can reduce the resistance of the airflow when passing through the buffer 203, and improve the exhaust efficiency, especially under high pressure difference conditions.
[0078] Further, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the check valve seat 201 includes a seat body 201a, and a connecting column 201b connected to the bottom of the seat body 201a and extending downward, the seat body 201a is fixed to the back side 102 of the end plate through the connecting column 201b, and a plurality of connecting columns 201b are provided, and the plurality of connecting columns 201b are distributed circumferentially at the bottom of the seat body 201a, and an airflow cavity 500 connected to the exhaust cavity of the scroll compressor is defined between the seat body 201a, the plurality of connecting columns 201b and the back side 102 of the end plate; it is worth noting that the above-mentioned connecting column 201b can be integrally formed with the seat body 201a, or can be fixedly installed on the seat body 201a as a split component.
[0079] When the exhaust hole 104 is exhausting, the check valve plate 202 can move upward under the upward push of the refrigerant to open the exhaust hole 104, and be discharged into the exhaust chamber of the scroll compressor through the air flow chamber 500. When the exhaust hole 104 stops exhausting, the refrigerant in the exhaust chamber can flow back to the check valve plate 202 and push the check valve plate 202 downward to close the exhaust hole 104 through the check valve plate 202.
[0080] The check valve seat 201 in the embodiment of the present application is fixed to the back side 102 of the end plate by a connecting column 201b. The design of multiple connecting columns provides multiple fixing points, which enhances the structural stability of the check valve seat 201 and reduces the risk of deformation under high pressure difference conditions. The design of the airflow chamber 500 makes the exhaust path more direct and smooth, reduces the resistance and energy loss of the airflow during the exhaust process, and improves the exhaust efficiency. When the exhaust hole 104 is exhausted, the check valve plate 202 moves upward to open the exhaust hole 104, and discharges the high-pressure refrigerant into the exhaust chamber of the scroll compressor through the airflow chamber 500. When the exhaust stops, the refrigerant in the exhaust chamber can smoothly flow back to the check valve plate 202 and push it downward to close the exhaust hole 104. This design improves the exhaust efficiency.
[0081] It is worth noting that if Figure 2As shown, a plurality of air holes corresponding to the upper end of the check valve plate 202 are also provided on the top of the check valve seat 201 in the embodiment of the present application, so that when the exhaust hole 104 stops exhausting, the refrigerant in the exhaust chamber can also push the check valve plate 202 to move downward through the air holes on the plurality of check valve seats 201, thereby achieving a rapid fall back of the check valve plate 202 while avoiding the check valve plate 202 from generating a large degree of rotational freedom when falling back.
[0082] Further, in some possible implementations, a limited position structure is formed between the check valve seat 201 and the check valve plate 202;
[0083] When the check valve plate 202 moves up and down, the limiting structure can reduce the rotational freedom of the check valve plate 202 when it moves up and down.
[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, the limit structure is provided to limit the rotational freedom of the check valve disc 202 when it moves up and down, reduce the friction and wear between the valve disc and the valve seat, and thus extend the service life of the check valve disc 202. The limit structure is provided to ensure that the check valve disc 202 works within the designed motion trajectory, reducing the risk of valve disc breakage caused by valve disc deviation or excessive rotation.
[0085] Specifically, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the check valve seat 201 includes a seat body 201a and a plurality of connecting posts 201b connected to the bottom of the seat body 201a and extending downward, and the seat body 201a is fixed to the back side 102 of the end plate through the plurality of connecting posts 201b;
[0086] The limiting structure includes a slide groove 501 formed on the inner side of the plurality of connecting columns 201b and extending up and down, a limiting pin 502 formed on the bottom of the seat body 201a and extending downward, and a pin hole 503 formed on the check valve plate 202;
[0087] The outer peripheral surface of the check valve plate 202 slides with the slide groove 501 in the up and down direction, and the check valve plate 202 slides with the limit pin 502 through the pin hole 503 to limit the rotational freedom of the check valve plate 202 when moving up and down.
[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, a precise limiting structure is formed by the slide groove 501 formed on the inner side of the connecting column 201b, the limiting pin 502 at the bottom of the seat body 201a, and the pin hole 503 on the check valve plate 202, which effectively controls the rotation and sliding of the check valve plate 202, thereby improving the accuracy and controllability of the valve plate movement. The design of this limiting structure enhances the stability and durability of the check valve plate 202 under high-frequency operation, and reduces the wear and damage caused by excessive rotational freedom. By limiting the rotational freedom of the check valve plate 202, the abnormal contact between the valve plate and the valve seat can be reduced, thereby reducing the noise generated by impact and vibration.
[0089] Furthermore, the second aspect of the embodiment of the present application also provides a pump body assembly, which includes a movable scroll and the fixed scroll provided by the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application, and the movable scroll teeth of the movable scroll and the fixed scroll teeth of the fixed scroll cooperate to form a compression chamber.
[0090] Furthermore, the third aspect of the embodiment of the present application also provides a scroll compressor, which includes the fixed scroll provided in the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application or the pump body assembly provided in the second aspect of the embodiment of the present application.
[0091] In order to more clearly understand the working principle of the scroll compressor in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 1-Figure 4 To explain in detail:
[0092] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the exhaust check device 200 of the scroll compressor in the embodiment of the present application is composed of a check valve seat 201, a check valve plate 202, a buffer 203, and a limit pin 502, which are fixed to the back side 102 of the end plate of the fixed scroll disk by a positioning screw 400, wherein the buffer 203 is a disc spring structure that can absorb impact energy. When the scroll compressor is started, the motor drives the crankshaft assembly to move, and the anti-rotation mechanism European ring is installed in the upper bracket of the scroll compressor. Under the drive of the crankshaft assembly and the restriction of the anti-rotation mechanism European ring, when the movable scroll disk rotates with the center of the fixed scroll disk as the center and performs non-rotation rotational translation at a certain rotation eccentric radius, the outer crescent-shaped space continuously moves toward the center.
[0093] When operating under light load conditions, the refrigerant can be discharged from the unloading valve assembly 600 into the exhaust cavity surrounded by the upper cover assembly. When operating under high pressure difference conditions, the refrigerant is gradually pushed to the central space, its volume is continuously reduced and the pressure is continuously increased until it is connected with the central exhaust hole 104. The exhaust refrigerant pushes the check valve plate 202 to the check valve seat 201. One end of the limit pin 502 is fixed on the check valve seat 201 by interference {the fixing method is not limited to this, and it can also be integrated with the check valve seat 201}, and the other end cooperates with the air outlet 2033 opened on the check valve plate 202 to reduce the rotational freedom of the check valve plate 202. The high-pressure refrigerant is discharged from the air flow cavity 500 on both sides of the check valve seat 201 into the exhaust cavity surrounded by the upper cover assembly. When the previous exhaust cycle ends and the next exhaust cycle just begins, the check valve plate 202 falls quickly to the buffer 203 under the push of the high-pressure refrigerant backflow. During the process of the check valve plate 202 repeatedly rising and falling, its freedom of movement is simplified and restricted. Due to the limiting pin 502, its rotational freedom is restricted and the swing amplitude is restricted. At the same time, under the buffering and damping action of the buffer member 203, the energy of the impact of the check valve plate 202 is reduced, the dimensional wear of the check valve plate 202 is reduced, and the check valve plate 202 is prevented from breaking due to excessive freedom of movement, thereby avoiding failure.

[0097] The check valve plate 202 is slidably matched with the multiple connecting posts 201b through the multiple pin holes 503 to limit the rotational freedom of the check valve plate 202 when it moves up and down. It is worth noting that the connecting posts 201b can be integrally formed with the seat body 201a, or can be fixedly installed on the seat body 201a as a separate part.
