Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of compressors, and in particular to a fixed scroll axially flexible scroll compressor. Background Art

[0002] Existing hermetic scroll compressors feature a partition plate within a pressure vessel. Within the low-pressure chamber separated by the partition plate are located a fixed scroll, an orbiting scroll, and an electric component driving the orbiting scroll. Refrigerant is compressed by the meshing blades of the fixed and orbiting scrolls, ultimately discharging into the high-pressure chamber through the exhaust port at the center of the fixed scroll. Because the fixed and orbiting scrolls are positioned adjacent to the low-pressure chamber, they generate a force moving away from each other during operation. To maintain the tightness of the compression chamber, back pressure is preferably applied to either the orbiting or fixed scroll, promoting a seal between the tooth tips and improving compression efficiency.

[0003] However, in this method, the fixed scroll may sometimes overturn due to the force of the gas in the compression chamber.

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, it is very necessary to research and design a new type of fixed scroll axially flexible anti-overturning compressor to overcome the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the technical problem in the prior art that the fixed scroll is prone to overturning due to axial floating, a fixed scroll axially flexible anti-overturning compressor is provided.

[0006] The technical means adopted in the present invention are as follows: A fixed scroll axially flexible anti-overturning compressor comprises a sealed container formed by welding an upper cover, a lower cover and a shell; a high-low pressure isolation assembly is provided on the upper part of the sealed container to divide the high-pressure space and the low-pressure space; the middle and upper part of the shell is strongly connected to the main support component by a welding process; a floating mechanism is provided between the high-low pressure isolation assembly and the main support component; the floating mechanism is composed of an orbiting scroll, a fixed scroll and a cross ring to prevent the orbiting scroll from rotating; the fixed scroll and the vortex blades of the orbiting scroll cooperate with each other to form a compression chamber; the fixed scroll is connected to the main support component by a cylindrical steel pin, and the cylindrical steel pin restricts the fixed scroll in the circumferential direction and the radial direction; the orbiting scroll floats in the axial direction with the high-low pressure isolation assembly; the floating mechanism and the main support component are arranged in the low-pressure space; an annular channel is processed on the upper surface of the fixed scroll, and the high-low pressure isolation plate assembly seals the annular channel; Furthermore, the distance between the outer periphery R of the fixed scroll blade tooth end and the center of the main support component accounts for 30% to 40% of the shell diameter D; based on such a structural relationship, the contact range between the fixed scroll blade teeth and the movable scroll can be increased as much as possible, and by applying back pressure to the fixed scroll, the anti-overturning torque generated by the contact between the fixed scroll and the movable scroll can be increased, which can make the fixed scroll operate more stably and meet the size requirements of the cylindrical steel pin setting.

[0007] Furthermore, the width K of the fixed scroll's outer through-hole and the cylindrical steel pin accounts for 70% to 90% of the cylindrical steel pin's exposed length L. This structural relationship ensures that the point where the resultant radial and tangential gas forces generated by the meshing of the fixed and orbiting scrolls meet within the K value range, with the width K covering 70% to 90% of the exposed cylindrical steel pin. This prevents point contact and the increased risk of jamming when the fixed scroll floats axially. This relationship effectively provides linear contact space, preventing the fixed scroll from tipping over.

[0008] Furthermore, the housing diameter ranges from 160mm to 180mm. A diameter that is too small will hinder the placement of the cylindrical steel pin, resulting in insufficient anti-overturning torque for the fixed scroll and a tendency to overturn the fixed scroll. A diameter that is too large will easily misalign the high and low baffle assemblies, causing the fixed scroll to tilt due to the baffle assembly structure, reducing energy efficiency and making it more likely to overturn.

[0009] Furthermore, the main body of the high and low pressure isolation assembly is a high and low pressure isolation plate arranged above the fixed scroll, and a limit groove is provided on the lower end surface thereof for limiting the axial movement of the fixed scroll; Furthermore, an annular fixing ring is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the high and low voltage isolation plate, and the lower end of the annular fixing ring extends into the interior of the annular channel; there is a gap between the lower end surface of the annular fixing ring and the bottom of the annular channel; Furthermore, the annular fixing ring is a convex-shaped structure, and a first sealing ring and a second sealing ring are respectively installed between the inner edge and the outer edge of the upper end surface of the lower end boss and the high and low pressure isolation plates; Furthermore, the outer edge of the first sealing ring is located between the annular fixing ring and the inner wall of the annular channel; Furthermore, the outer edge of the second sealing ring is located between the inner wall of the annular channel and the high and low pressure isolation plates.

[0010] Furthermore, tiny protrusions are processed on the inner edge and outer edge of the upper end surface of the annular fixing ring, which are used to squeeze the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring respectively to achieve a better sealing effect.

[0011] Furthermore, the high and low pressure isolation components and the annular channel form a medium pressure chamber.

[0012] Furthermore, a medium-pressure hole communicating with the compression chamber is provided on the fixed scroll at the bottom of the medium-pressure chamber. The gas in the compression chamber enters the medium-pressure chamber through the medium-pressure hole. Under the action of gas pressure, the fixed scroll and the movable scroll are axially sealed.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. In the fixed scroll axially flexible anti-overturning compressor provided by the present invention, the distance between the outer periphery R of the fixed scroll blade tooth tip and the center of the main support component accounts for 30% to 40% of the casing diameter D. This increases the contact range between the fixed scroll blade teeth and the orbiting scroll. By applying back pressure to the fixed scroll, the anti-overturning torque generated by the contact between the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll can be increased, making the fixed scroll operate more stably while meeting the dimensional requirements for the cylindrical steel pin. 2. The fixed scroll axially flexible anti-overturning compressor provided by the present invention has a width K that occupies 70% to 90% of the exposed length L of the cylindrical steel pin through the outer circular through hole of the fixed scroll and the cylindrical steel pin. This ensures that the point of the resultant force of the radial gas force and the tangential gas force generated by the meshing of the fixed scroll and the movable scroll is within the K value range, and the width K covers 70% to 90% of the exposed cylindrical steel pin, avoiding point contact when the fixed scroll floats axially, which increases the risk of jamming. Such a relationship can effectively provide a linear contact space to prevent the fixed scroll from overturning; 3. The fixed scroll axially flexible anti-overturning compressor provided by the present invention limits the casing diameter to between 160 mm and 180 mm. This facilitates the placement of cylindrical steel pins and prevents the high and low baffles from being too large to be easily centered, thereby ensuring energy efficiency and improving volumetric efficiency.

[0014] The combination of the above three can effectively reduce the risk of the fixed scroll overturning, and for the integrated partition structure, the shell diameter in this range is easier to process, resulting in higher positioning accuracy and reduced processing costs.

[0015] In summary, the technical solution of the present invention solves the problem in the prior art that the fixed scroll is prone to overturning due to axial floating. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
