Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of compressors, and in particular to a compressor oil return structure, a compressor and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] The aluminum alloy scroll compressor for automobiles does not have a stable oil pool inside the compressor to supply oil to the mechanical lubrication parts of the compressor's internal oil pumping system. Instead, it relies on the compressor's suction refrigerant to carry the lubricating oil, and the exhaust gas centrifugal separation of the refrigerant and lubricating oil is followed by a throttling return oil design for the lubricating oil. Therefore, the oil return efficiency of the exhaust gas centrifugal separation is crucial to the performance and reliability of the compressor. The existing centrifugal separation structure is very mature, and the simple centrifugal separation structure has a high separation efficiency, which can fully meet the requirements of separating most of the lubricating oil from the refrigerant. However, with regard to the return of the separated lubricating oil to the compressor, the existing technical solutions all have major problems, mainly focusing on:

[0003] 1. The oil return lubrication structure of the existing technology directly returns the high-temperature lubricating oil after centrifugal separation of the exhaust gas to the lubrication parts inside the compressor. The lubricating oil temperature is high and the lubrication effect is poor;

[0004] 2. The position of the oil return storage structure is unreasonable: the oil storage chamber and the centrifugal separation structure are arranged in parallel, so the maximum liquid level of the oil storage chamber can only reach the bottom height of the centrifugal separation structure. Otherwise, the liquid will enter the exhaust pipe from the bottom inlet of the centrifugal separator. Therefore, the oil storage chamber space of this structure cannot be fully utilized. In addition, the oil storage structure is easily affected by the centrifugal separation structure, resulting in a small amount of oil stored in the actual oil storage structure or the separated lubricating oil being carried away by the refrigerant;

[0005] 3. The oil return structure directly adopts a throttling structure to connect the high-pressure to the low-pressure or medium-pressure lubrication parts. Due to the large throttling pressure difference, when there is a large pressure difference during actual operation, the throttling is insufficient, resulting in high-pressure gas entering the low-pressure or medium-pressure parts, affecting the performance of the compressor; under small pressure difference conditions, the return flow is too small, and the lubricating oil separated by the centrifugal separation structure cannot be returned to the compressor in time. The excess lubricating oil in the separation structure is carried away by the refrigerant again, resulting in poor heat exchange effect of the system.

[0006] Patent No. US6511530B2 discloses a structure for separating and storing exhaust oil inside a compressor. An exhaust chamber 13a, an oil-gas separation chamber, and a lubricating oil storage chamber are provided between the back of the compressor's fixed scroll and the exhaust cover. The oil storage chamber returns to the compressor's internal suction chamber through an oil return channel, enabling the lubricating oil to circulate inside the compressor. However, there are the following problems: in order not to affect the oil separation efficiency of the separation chamber, the oil storage chamber must be located below the oil return chamber (in the direction of gravity) and the maximum liquid level in the oil storage chamber must be lower than the oil return chamber outlet. Otherwise, the lubricating oil enters the separation chamber and affects the oil separation effect. Therefore, the problem with this type of oil storage chamber technology is that the oil storage volume is small, and excess lubricating oil will still be carried into the refrigeration system by the refrigerant. Otherwise, in order to increase the volume of the oil storage chamber, the axial height of the oil storage chamber needs to be increased, resulting in problems such as large compressor size, heavy weight, and high production costs. At the same time, the pressure in this type of oil storage chamber is the exhaust high pressure. Affected by the exhaust fluctuations of the pump body, the exhaust pressure fluctuates greatly, making it difficult to stabilize the liquid level in the oil storage chamber and also fluctuating greatly with the exhaust.

[0007] Patent number CN107605726A discloses another oil return structure. The oil return passage in the compressor exhaust cover connects the stator and bracket, and a throttling channel is set in the bracket. The lubricating oil in the oil return passage is introduced into the lubrication cavity in the bracket to achieve lubrication of the bearings in the lubrication cavity. Although the lubricating oil is directly introduced into the key lubricating components in the compressor, the lubrication cavity is a accommodating cavity with limited space. Most of the lubricating oil in the oil return passage cannot be returned to the compressor in time, resulting in a large amount of lubricating oil entering the refrigeration system with the exhaust gas, affecting the heat exchange effect of the system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] See also Figure 1 As shown, the compressor mechanism of prior art a mainly includes a compressor cover body 1, a stator 2, a rotor 3 and a bracket 4. An exhaust chamber 14, an oil return chamber 15 and an oil storage chamber 10 are formed between the compressor stator 2 and the cover body 1. The oil storage chamber 10 is relatively arranged below the oil return chamber 15. The highest oil storage level in the oil storage chamber 10 corresponds to the oil outlet 28 at the bottom of the oil return chamber 15. The oil storage chamber 10 of the prior art is set in the high-temperature exhaust area. The lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 10 is the exhaust high temperature. The high-temperature oil directly enters the lubrication part after throttling, resulting in a decrease in the lubrication effect. At the same time, the structural position setting of the exhaust chamber 14, the oil return chamber 15 and the oil storage chamber 10 requires the cover body 1 to be set very large, resulting in a large size and heavy weight of the compressor. The axial oil separation length of the oil return chamber 15 is limited, resulting in a decrease in the actual oil separation efficiency.

[0057] See also Figure 2As shown, the compressor of prior art b includes a housing 5, a bracket 4, a moving plate 3, a static plate 2, a cover body 1 and a drive motor 6. By arranging an oil return channel in the compressor cover body 1, the static plate 2 and the bracket 4, the lubricating oil separated by the exhaust oil separation structure of the cover body 1 is returned to the two bearings in the second cavity 11 (bearing lubrication cavity) in the bracket 4. Since the high-temperature lubricating oil of the exhaust gas directly enters the lubricating components after throttling, the lubrication effect is reduced. At the same time, since the second cavity 11 (bearing lubrication cavity) is a space for accommodating moving parts, the cavity space is limited, and there are moving parts eccentric sleeves and moving plates 3, which affect the oil storage capacity of the cavity, resulting in the separated lubricating oil not being able to be completely stored in the compressor, and the excess lubricating oil will still be carried away by the exhaust gas into the system, affecting the heat exchange of the system.

[0058] See also Figure 3-18 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a compressor oil return structure is provided, including: a cover body 1, a shell 5, a drive unit and a compression unit, the cover body 1 is connected to the shell 5 to form a hollow cavity, the drive unit and the compression unit are located in the hollow cavity, an oil storage cavity 10 is provided between the drive unit and the compression unit, the oil discharged by the compression unit can enter the oil storage cavity 10, a first cavity 9 for air intake is provided in the hollow cavity, and the gas sucked into the first cavity 9 can move through the outer wall of the oil storage cavity 10, and the outer wall of the oil storage cavity 10 can generate heat exchange with the gas in the first cavity 9. Specifically, the housing 5 is provided with a first cavity 9 for air intake, and the gas absorbed into the first cavity 9 can move through the outer wall of the oil storage cavity 10. The oil storage cavity 10 can be connected to the first cavity 9. The oil-gas mixture discharged from the compression unit can be separated into oil and gas within the cover 1. The separated oil can enter the oil storage cavity 10. The outer wall of the oil storage cavity 10 can exchange heat with the gas in the first cavity 9. At least part of the oil in the oil storage cavity 10 can flow into the first cavity 9, and the gas can drive the oil in the first cavity 9 to move.

[0059] See also Figure 3As shown, an oil separation structure is provided in the oil return chamber 15, the cover body 1 and the shell 5 are both hollow structures, and the cover body 1 and the shell 5 are connected to form a shell with a hollow cavity structure. A movable plate 3 is provided between the stator plate 2 and the bracket 4, and a crankshaft 7 is rotatably connected to the bracket 4. The crankshaft 7 can drive the movable plate 3 to move, so that the movable plate 3 cooperates with the stator plate 2 to produce a compression effect. A drive motor 6 is provided on the crankshaft 7, and the drive motor 6 can drive the crankshaft 7 to rotate. A shell air intake port 8 is also provided on the shell 5, and the shell air intake port 8 is located away from the stator plate 2 and close to the stator plate 2. Near the end of the crankshaft 7 away from the bracket 4, the first cavity 9 is located near the housing suction port 8, the cover body 1 is provided with a compressor exhaust port 16, the compressor exhaust port 16 is connected to the oil return chamber 15, the exhaust chamber 14 is above the exhaust port of the stator 2, the exhaust chamber 14 and the oil return chamber 15 are connected through the oil return chamber intake channel 152, the oil return chamber intake channel 152 is provided on the cover body 1, a pump body compression chamber 13 is provided between the movable plate 3 and the stator 2, and a third cavity 12 (pump body suction chamber) is also provided between the movable plate 3 and the stator 2. Figure 3 The dynamic plate 3 and the static plate 2 are arranged on the right side of the driving motor 6, and the lubricating oil then flows from left to right with the refrigerant. The refrigerant (refrigerant) after cooling the motor reaches the oil storage chamber 10 on the right side of the driving motor 6, cools the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 10, and finally reaches the third cavity 12. Under the action of the third cavity 12, it enters the pump body compression chamber 13, and reaches the exhaust chamber 14 after compression is completed. The lubricating oil and the refrigerant are separated in the oil return chamber 15, and the separated lubricating oil enters the oil storage chamber 10 from the oil inlet channel 103. Finally, the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 10 is discharged into the first cavity 9, and enters the lubrication part inside the compressor driven by the gas in the first cavity 9, thereby realizing the storage and circulation of the lubricating oil inside the compressor. In this technical solution, an oil storage chamber 10 is provided between the drive unit and the compression unit. The gas sucked into the first cavity 9 can move through the outer wall of the oil storage chamber 10. As the low-temperature refrigerant flows through the outside of the oil storage chamber 10, the high-temperature oil-gas mixture discharged from the stator 2 is separated in the oil return chamber 15 to obtain high-temperature lubricating oil. After the high-temperature lubricating oil flows from the oil return chamber 15 into the oil storage chamber 10, the low-temperature refrigerant outside the oil storage chamber 10 cools the high-temperature lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 10. A portion of the cooled lubricating oil is discharged into the first cavity 9 and, driven by the gas, enters the lubrication part of the compressor, forming an oil return structure. The oil storage chamber 10 stores the refluxed high-temperature lubricating oil and is arranged close to the low-temperature area so that the low-temperature refrigerant cools the high-temperature lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 10 before returning to other parts to be lubricated inside the compressor. The temperature of the lubricating oil is reduced, taking away more heat from the lubricating parts, which can greatly improve the lubricating effect of the lubricating oil.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, the drive unit includes a drive motor 6 and a crankshaft 7; the compressor oil return structure also includes a bracket 4, the oil storage chamber 10 is arranged in the bracket 4, and a second cavity 11 is enclosed between the bracket 4 and the crankshaft 7, and the oil storage chamber 10 is located radially outside the second cavity 11. In this technical solution, since the low-temperature refrigerant flows through the outside of the bracket 4, the high-temperature oil and gas mixture discharged from the stator 2 is separated in the oil return chamber 15 to obtain high-temperature lubricating oil. After the high-temperature lubricating oil flows from the oil return chamber 15 into the oil storage chamber 10, the low-temperature refrigerant outside the bracket 4 cools the high-temperature lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 10. After a part of the cooled lubricating oil is discharged, it contacts the low-temperature refrigerant flowing through, undergoes secondary cooling, and flows with the low-temperature refrigerant into the lubrication part in the compressor to complete the lubrication effect.

In this technical solution, the oil return chamber 15 is connected to the exhaust chamber 14. As the low-temperature refrigerant flows through the outside of the bracket 4, the high-temperature oil-gas mixture discharged from the stator 2 is separated in the oil return chamber 15 to obtain high-temperature lubricating oil. After the high-temperature lubricating oil flows from the oil return chamber 15 into the oil storage chamber 10, the low-temperature refrigerant outside the bracket 4 cools the high-temperature lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 10. A portion of the cooled lubricating oil is discharged and contacts the low-temperature refrigerant flowing through. After secondary cooling, it flows with the low-temperature refrigerant into the lubrication part in the compressor to complete the lubrication effect. It is then discharged through the exhaust port of the stator 2 and into the oil return chamber 15. After the gas-liquid separation is completed in the oil return chamber 15, it flows into the oil storage chamber 10 to form an oil return structure. The oil in the oil return chamber 15 can enter the oil storage chamber 10. After the first cavity 9 inhales the gas, the outer wall of the oil storage chamber 10 can exchange heat with the gas to exchange heat with the oil in the oil storage chamber 10.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, the oil storage chamber 10 can be connected to the oil return chamber 15 via an oil inlet channel 103; the oil inlet channel 103 includes a first channel 403 and a second channel 201.

In this technical solution, the oil return chamber 15 has an oil return chamber drain channel 151, which communicates with the second channel 201. The second channel 201 is disposed throughout the stator 2. The oil inlet channel 103 allows lubricating oil to enter the oil storage chamber 10 from the oil return chamber 15. The oil inlet passage 103 allows lubricating oil to flow from the oil return chamber into the oil storage chamber. Because the size of the oil inlet passage 103 is limited within the compressor, and its diameter is relatively small, the passage of liquid through the oil inlet passage 103 produces a pressure-reducing and throttling effect, thereby reducing the pressure in the oil storage chamber to a value lower than that in the oil return chamber. The oil inlet passage 103 allows lubricating oil to flow from the oil return chamber 15 into the oil storage chamber 10. Because the size of the oil inlet passage 103 is limited within the compressor, and its diameter is relatively small, the passage of liquid through the oil inlet passage 103 produces a pressure-reducing and throttling effect, thereby reducing the pressure in the oil storage chamber 10 to a value lower than that in the oil return chamber 15.

In this technical solution, in combination with reference to Figure 12 and Figure 11 As shown, the throttling member 21 is cylindrical, and an outer peripheral oil outlet channel 211 is wound around its outer surface. An internal oil outlet channel 212 is provided in the middle of the throttling member 21. The diameter of the internal oil outlet channel 212 is smaller than that of the outer peripheral oil outlet channel 211.

The sealing fitting portions a171 and b172 cooperate with corresponding positions on the bracket 4 to seal the oil storage chamber 10. The sealing fitting portions a171 and b172 are both interference fit with the bracket 4. The lubricating oil discharged from the oil storage chamber 10 moves along with the gas sucked into the first cavity 9 to reach the lubrication position, thereby achieving the recycling of the lubricating oil. The third channel 174 throttles and reduces the pressure of the liquid flowing in the oil drain groove 173, creating a pressure difference between the first cavity 9 and the oil storage chamber 10, facilitating the drainage of the oil from the oil storage chamber 10. The third channel 174 is provided on the sealing fitting portion a171 on the outer periphery of the first cover plate 17. The third channel 174 connects the oil drain groove 173 and the oil storage chamber 10.

A third channel 174 is provided on the sealing mating portion a171 on the outer periphery of the first cover plate 17, connecting the oil drain groove 173 and the first cavity 9 (the motor low-pressure cavity). This allows the lubricating oil in the oil storage cavity 10 to enter the first cavity 9 through the oil drain channel a101 and then enter the pump body compression cavity 13 through the third cavity 12 for lubrication. The third channel 174 utilizes a smaller diameter to achieve a throttling effect. The sealing mating portions a171 and b172 provide a seal between the oil storage cavity and the low-pressure cavity. Furthermore, the methods for achieving fastening and sealing are not limited to those described above; at least conventional technologies such as screws, sealing rings, or gaskets can be used to achieve reliable sealing.

[0067] In a specific embodiment, the first cover plate 17 is connected to the bracket 4 via a locking member 26, which is provided with a seal 27.

[0070] In one specific embodiment, a second cover plate 22 is provided within the oil storage chamber 10. The second cover plate 22 divides the space of the oil storage chamber 10 into an oil storage chamber and a buffer chamber 1005.

In this technical solution, the sixth channel 102 ensures that the pressure in the oil storage chamber 10 is substantially the same as that in the second cavity 11. However, the present invention can also be configured such that the sixth channel 102 is provided with a throttling feature, thereby increasing the pressure in the oil storage chamber 10 to be higher than that in the second cavity 11. This configuration can reduce the throttling pressure drop between the oil storage chamber 10 and the oil return chamber 15, allowing the throttling pressure drop in the oil inlet channel to be smaller, allowing the lubricating oil in the oil return chamber 15 to enter the oil storage chamber 10 more quickly.

[0071] In a specific embodiment, the bracket 4 is provided with a fifth channel 29, the stator plate 2 is provided with a ninth channel 203, and the stator plate 2 is further provided with a first through-hole 202.

[0074] In a specific embodiment, the housing 5 includes a second housing 25 and a first housing 24. The first housing 24 and the second housing 25 are of an integrated structure. The first housing 24 can support the compression unit. The oil storage chamber 10 is disposed in the first housing 24. Figure 18 As shown in FIG, an alternative embodiment of the present invention.

[0075] The present invention also provides a compressor, comprising the above-mentioned compressor oil return structure.

[0076] The present invention also provides an air conditioner comprising the above-mentioned compressor.

[0077] The present invention relates to a compressor oil return structure, a compressor and an air conditioner. An oil storage chamber 10 is provided between the compressor rotor 3 and the bracket 4. The oil storage chamber 10 is located in the low-temperature suction area of ​​the compressor. The oil storage chamber 10 stores the high-temperature lubricating oil separated from the exhaust gas and refluxed. By being arranged close to the low-temperature area, the low-temperature refrigerant cools the high-temperature lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 10 before it flows back to other parts to be lubricated inside the compressor. The temperature of the lubricating oil is reduced, and more heat is taken away from the lubricated parts, which can greatly improve the lubricating effect of the lubricating oil. The oil storage chamber 10 is located between the rotor 3 and the drive motor 6. Due to the structural characteristics of this area, this area has a space with a certain axial height and radial dimensions. The existing technology does not utilize this space. A larger oil storage space can be obtained without increasing the height of the compressor cover. Compared with the oil storage technology set in the upper cover in the existing technology, the present invention can effectively reduce the axial dimension of the upper cover, and the compressor size is smaller, which is more conducive to the lightweight design of the system.
