Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of scroll compressors, and in particular relates to a scroll compressor with an axially flexible pressure balancing mechanism. Background Art
[0002] Scroll compressor is a common air compression equipment, which is often used in industrial and manufacturing fields. It compresses gas into high-pressure gas through rotational motion. This type of compressor is usually highly efficient, low-noise and has a small size, so it is widely used in many fields.
[0003] As the scroll displacement increases, the back pressure of the scroll compressor using axial flexibility technology is continuously pushed up, causing the pressure on the thrust surface of the movable scroll and the main bearing to continue to rise, which also leads to frequent wear and failure of large-displacement scroll compressors. For compressors using air-injection and enthalpy-increasing technology, the force on the thrust surface is even worse and the failure rate is higher.
[0004] In the prior art, lubricating oil is usually used to lubricate the thrust surface to reduce the wear of the thrust surface. However, the lubricating oil may be affected by external impurities or debris generated during operation during use, resulting in a decrease in the cleanliness of the thrust surface, increased friction and wear, and it is difficult for the lubricating oil to maintain a stable temperature under high-speed rotation, which may cause the thrust surface temperature to be too high or too low, thereby affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a mechanism that balances the back pressure of the thrust surface and reduces the wear of the thrust surface. Utility Model Content

[0046] The utility model arranges a static vortex back-pressure chamber 23 above the compression part 2, and an orbiting vortex back-pressure chamber 24 below the compression part, and arranges a specific channel to connect the compression chamber, the static vortex back-pressure chamber 23, and the orbiting vortex back-pressure chamber 24, so that the high-pressure gas in the compression chamber enters the static vortex back-pressure chamber 23 and the orbiting vortex back-pressure chamber 24, thereby reducing the friction between the orbiting scroll plate 22 and the thrust surface 40, and improving the reliability of the compressor.
[0047] In some embodiments of the utility model, the main bearing seat 4 has a thrust surface 40 abutting against the movable scroll 22, and the thrust surface 40 is provided with a back pressure groove 41, and the two sides of the back pressure groove 41 have sealing parts, and the movable scroll 22, the sealing part, and the back pressure groove 41 form a movable scroll back pressure chamber 24, wherein the transverse cross section of the back pressure groove 41 is an annular structure, and the width of the back pressure groove 41 is not less than the rotation diameter of the movable scroll 22. When the movable scroll 22 performs a vortex motion, the high-pressure gas in the compression chamber enters the movable scroll back pressure chamber 24 through the back pressure channel 221, providing an upward support force for the movable scroll 22 and reducing the wear of the thrust surface 40. On the other hand, the width of the back pressure groove 41 is adjustable, thereby changing the contact force between the main bearing seat 4 and the thrust surface 40.
