Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioner compressor noise reduction, in particular to a bridge type noise reduction gas guide path for vehicle air conditioner compressor. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, the gas of rotary vane compressor is compressed into high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the cylinder compression chamber, and then is discharged at high speed through the cylinder exhaust hole, enters the first-stage noise reduction cavity after hitting the valve assembly, and advances into the gas inlet on the rear end plate under the action of pressure difference. Due to the flow mutation of the gas in the cylinder exhaust hole (small diameter) and the first-stage noise reduction cavity, a large pressure gradient change is formed, and the structure of the valve assembly and the large open space of the first-stage noise reduction cavity are affected, which causes the refrigerating capacity (hereinafter referred to as performance) of the compressor to decrease and the aerodynamic noise to increase. Specifically, the first-stage noise reduction cavity has the effect of reducing noise in some frequency bands, but due to its simple structure, it is mainly composed of existing parts assembled to form a new area, and the noise reduction frequency range and size are limited. The gas flows at high speed from the cylinder exhaust hole to the first-stage noise reduction cavity, and the first-stage noise reduction cavity refers to the area formed by the shell, cylinder, rear end plate and front end plate. The gas flow will be dispersed to various positions in the first-stage noise reduction cavity, causing pressure loss. At the same time, the gas in the first-stage noise reduction cavity will also be affected by the structure of the valve assembly (valve piece, valve plate, gasket and screw assembly), which will change the flow state (the flow resistance and flow state are changed under the influence of pressure difference before and after the obstruction). When the gas flows at high speed, under the combined action of the first-stage noise reduction cavity and the obstruction of the valve assembly, more vortices will be formed in the first-stage noise reduction cavity and near the valve assembly (the boundary layer separation occurs in the valve assembly towards the inlet hole direction of the rear end plate), and the gas will flow in the form of turbulent flow, and the long space of the first-stage noise reduction cavity provides the condition for breaking large eddies into small eddies. According to the vibration principle, the aerodynamic noise generated by the gas flow is caused by many factors such as turbulent flow (vortex is a form of turbulent flow), pressure difference (pressure fluctuation) and vortex breaking, and the turbulent flow flow is chaotic and produces shear flow, which dissipates a lot of momentum, causing flow loss, i.e. the kinetic energy of the fluid is converted into heat energy, thereby reducing the flow and reducing the performance of the compressor. At the same time, the high-speed gas ejected from the cylinder exhaust hole hits the wall surface of the shell and the cylinder, causing vibration and causing structural vibration noise, and the shell also needs a larger wall thickness to withstand the impact of high-pressure gas, causing the weight of the parts to increase (secondary factor). In summary, the compressor is prone to generate a large noise under the combined action of aerodynamic noise and structural vibration noise, reducing comfort. Due to the influence of turbulent flow dissipation in the first-stage noise reduction cavity, the performance will also be greatly reduced, ultimately affecting the overall competitiveness of the product.

[0027] The embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] As Figures 1-7 The vehicle air conditioner compressor bridge type silencing guide path is arranged in the air conditioner compressor, which comprises a shell, a rear end plate 1 arranged in the shell, a cylinder body 2 and a front end plate 5, a first stage silencing cavity 4 is formed between the shell, the front end plate 5, the rear end plate 1 and the cylinder body 2, a valve assembly 8 is arranged on the cylinder body 2, and a silencing guide pipe 3 is arranged at the position of the first stage silencing cavity 4 and fixedly connected with the cylinder body 2 through a screw 7, the silencing guide pipe 3 is internally provided with a cavity 31, which is communicated with a cylinder exhaust hole 10 and a rear end plate air inlet hole 11, high pressure gas in the compressor is directly discharged from the cylinder exhaust hole 10 and then directly enters the rear end plate air inlet hole 11 through the cavity 31 of the silencing guide pipe 3, thereby forming the bridge type silencing guide path.

[0029] In order to ensure that the outlet of the built-in silencing guide pipe 3 is completely aligned with the rear end plate air inlet hole 11 on the rear end plate 1 and reduce the gas leakage, in the embodiment, the silencing guide pipe 3 is a cylindrical pipe with one open end and one closed end, the open end is arranged at the rear end plate 1, the rear end plate air inlet hole 11 is communicated with the cavity 31 of the silencing guide pipe, the shape of the silencing guide pipe 3 can be designed as a straight line type or a curved type according to the position of the rear end plate air inlet hole 11 on the rear end plate 1, the silencing guide pipe 3 is provided with three lugs 6, which are integrally formed with the silencing guide pipe, the lugs close to the valve assembly mounting position are two, a through hole is formed in each lug, the silencing guide pipe 3 is fixedly mounted on the cylinder body 2 through the lugs 6, the valve assembly 8 is mounted on the cylinder body 2, the silencing guide pipe 3 is designed with a silencing guide pipe accommodation groove 12 for accommodating the valve assembly 8, which is arranged at one end of the valve assembly 8 and the cylinder body 2 mounting position, and two are arranged to ensure the normal work of the valve assembly 8.

[0030] The cylinder body 2 is designed with three threaded holes in the first stage silencing cavity 4, which correspond to the through hole positions of the lugs 6, and the silencing guide pipe 3 is connected and fixed with the cylinder body 2 through the screw 7.

[0031] The silencing guide pipe is arranged in the first stage silencing cavity of the compressor, the high pressure gas in the compressor passes through the cylinder exhaust hole 10, the silencing guide pipe 3 and the rear end plate air inlet hole 11 to form a new bridge type silencing guide path, thereby forming a new gas flow path, and simplifying the existing complex three-dimensional flow into a simple two-dimensional pipe flow.

[0032] When the compressor is working, the compression chamber 9 compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure gas into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which is discharged through the cylinder exhaust hole 10, and then enters the muffler guide pipe 3, which is connected with the rear end plate gas inlet hole 11.
