[0047] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that this disclosure will be more comprehensive and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0048] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities.

[0049] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the compressor exhaust structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the compressor exhaust structure includes a crankshaft 100, an upper cylinder head 200, a lower cylinder head 300, and a cylinder 400 between the upper cylinder head 200 and the lower cylinder head 300. The upper cylinder head 200, the lower cylinder head 300, and the cylinder 400 together define a compression space. The crankshaft 100 transmits the rotational force of the compressor motor to the cylinder 400 to compress the refrigerant.

[0050] The upper cylinder head 200 is provided with a first exhaust port 210; such as Figure 1 As shown, the first exhaust port 210 passes through the upper cylinder head 200.

[0051] The cylinder 400 is provided with a second exhaust port 410; the second exhaust port 410 is provided on the side wall of the cylinder 400.

[0052] The first exhaust port 210 and the second exhaust port 410 are connected by an exhaust column 500 disposed on the side wall of the cylinder 400;

[0053] The exhaust column 500 specifically comprises an exhaust column body 510, a channel 520, and a third exhaust hole 530 in communication with the channel 520 of the exhaust column body 510;

[0054] One end of the exhaust column 500 abuts against a disc-shaped cam 600 rotating with the crankshaft 100, Figure 1 In an embodiment, the disc-shaped cam 600 is installed on the short shaft part of the crankshaft 100, and one end of the exhaust column 500 stands on the upper surface of the disc-shaped cam 600. The upper surface of the disc-shaped cam 600 has a first path and a second path with different heights. When the disc-shaped cam 600 rotates with the crankshaft 100, the height of the surface of the disc-shaped cam 600 at the abutting position with one end of the exhaust column 500 reciprocates, thereby driving the exhaust column 500 to reciprocate up and down. In other words, the rotational movement of the disc-shaped cam 600 is converted into the up-and-down linear movement of the exhaust column 500. The up-and-down reciprocation of the exhaust column 500 causes the second exhaust hole 410 to be in communication with or closed from the third exhaust hole 530. Specifically, when the exhaust column 500 moves along the first path on the disc-shaped cam 600, the third exhaust hole 530 of the exhaust column 500 is staggered up and down with the second exhaust hole 410 on the cylinder, and the exhaust column body 510 closes the cylinder 210. When the exhaust column 500 moves along the second path on the disc-shaped cam 600, the third exhaust hole 530 of the exhaust column 500 overlaps with the second exhaust hole 410 on the cylinder, thereby connecting the inside of the cylinder 210 with the outside of the cylinder 210. Specifically, the first path is a flat section, and the second path is a concave circular arc section.

[0055] Further, in the present application, the exhaust column body 510 is adapted to the limiting groove 420 provided on the side wall of the cylinder 400, and the exhaust column body 510 is not rotatable relative to the limiting groove 420. The exhaust column body 510 does not rotate, thereby eliminating the situation that the exhaust hole thereon cannot be connected with the cylinder when exhaust is needed, and increasing the stability and reliability of the compressor operation.

[0056] Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 are structural schematic diagrams of exhaust columns of some embodiments of the present application; the exhaust column body 510 can be an elliptical column, Figure 2 a flat column, Figure 4 or a polygonal column, such as a square exhaust column. Figure 6

[0057] Correspondingly, Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 ​These are schematic diagrams of a cylinder having a limiting groove 420 adapted to the exhaust column of the above embodiment. The limiting groove 420 on the cylinder sidewall has a cross-section that is elliptical, flat, or polygonal (square) on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the crankshaft 100.

[0058] The exhaust column body 510 is not limited to the aforementioned non-axisymmetric structure. It can also be as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the exhaust column body 510 includes a circular column and a limiting pin disposed on the side of the circular column. The limiting pin is a long column with a quadrilateral cross-section. The circular column and the quadrilateral long column can be connected by welding or are an integral structure. Correspondingly, the cross-section of the limiting groove 420 on the cylinder sidewall in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the crankshaft 100 is as shown. Figure 9 As shown.

[0059] When the second exhaust port 410 on the side wall of cylinder 400 overlaps with the third exhaust port 530 of exhaust column 500, the cylinder is connected to the first exhaust port 530 through the second exhaust port 410, the third exhaust port 530, and the channel 520 respectively.

[0060] The channel 520 can connect the third exhaust port 530 and the first exhaust port 210. Preferably, the channel 520 is a circular, elliptical, or polygonal hollow channel disposed within the exhaust column body 510.

[0061] The rotational movement of the disc cam 600 causes one end of the exhaust column 500 to ( Figure 1 The lower end of the disc-shaped cam 600 (at its lower end) reciprocates at its inclined surface, causing the exhaust column 500 to move up and down linearly. Because the lower end of the exhaust column 500 abuts against the inclined surface of the disc-shaped cam 600, the exhaust column 500 will not fly downwards out of the limiting groove 420 on the cylinder sidewall. However, when the exhaust column 500 moves upwards, due to the high rotational speed of the disc-shaped cam 600, the exhaust column 500 may fly upwards out of the limiting groove 420 on the cylinder sidewall. In some embodiments of the present invention, the exhaust column 500 also includes a retaining spring 540, which is disposed on the exhaust column body 510 near the end of the exhaust column 500 close to the disc-shaped cam 600. When the height of the upward movement of the exhaust column 500 exceeds a certain threshold, the retaining spring 540 abuts against the surface of the lower cylinder head 300 away from the cylinder 400, thus preventing the exhaust column 500 from moving upwards on a large scale.

[0062] Meanwhile, in order to prevent rigid collision when the snap spring 540 collides with the surface of the lower cylinder cover 300 away from the cylinder 400, the compressor exhaust structure further comprises an elastic component 700, which is sleeved between the snap spring 540 and the surface of the lower cylinder cover 300 away from the cylinder 400. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the elastic component 700 is a coil spring sleeved between the snap spring 540 and the surface of the lower cylinder cover 300 away from the cylinder 400. The elastic component plays a good reset and damping effect when the exhaust column 500 moves up and down.

[0063] The exhaust column body 510 can be an entire elliptical column ( Figure 2 ), a flat column ( Figure 4 ) or a polygonal column from top to bottom, but is not limited to these embodiments in the drawings, the exhaust column body 510 at the snap spring 540 is a cylindrical column, and the cylindrical mechanism is beneficial to reduce the resistance of the exhaust column in the process of reciprocating up and down, that is, the exhaust column body 510 can include a part with the function of preventing the exhaust column from rotating and a cylindrical part with the snap spring.

[0064] Some other embodiments of the present application provide a compressor comprising the above-mentioned compressor exhaust structure, and the compressor exhaust condition of the compressor with the above exhaust structure is more stable, and the compressor has better performance.

[0065] In summary, the present application aims to provide a compressor exhaust structure and a compressor comprising the same. Through the arrangement of the exhaust column and the limiting groove matched therewith, the exhaust column of the compressor exhaust structure of the present application will not rotate, thereby excluding the condition that the exhaust hole thereon cannot be communicated with the cylinder when exhaust is required, and increasing the stability and reliability of the operation of the compressor.
