Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The development trend of automotive electric scroll compressors is to have a wider speed range and a larger operating range. When the compressor runs at a lower speed, the refrigerant flow is small, and the cooling effect on the controller becomes worse. This makes it impossible for the heat generated by the controller power module to be taken away in time, and the power module temperature rises, resulting in the compressor's load capacity at low speed being limited, affecting its operating range at low speed.

[0003] The patent (CN113404668A) discloses a scroll compressor, which includes a shell, a suction pipe, a cold rod and a controller. The shell is divided into an electric control area and a high-pressure area. The suction pipe is arranged on the side of the shell. The cold rod enters the electric control area to connect to the suction pipe and is fixed to the shell wall of the high-pressure area. The cold rod has an internal channel for circulating refrigerant. The controller is arranged on the outer surface of the cold rod, and the waste heat generated by the controller is dissipated by the cold rod. The limitations of this solution are: First, the cold rod is installed in the controller cavity, which will occupy a large space of the controller cavity and the printed circuit board (PCB), which is not conducive to the arrangement of electronic components; second, since the internal channel of the cold rod is in a straight line and directly connected to the air intake, the position of the air intake is determined by the position of the controller, which limits the position of the compressor air intake and is not conducive to meeting the needs of different customers; third, natural cooling can only be achieved through suction, and the heat dissipation effect is poor when the compressor is running at low speed.

[0004] In the existing technology, a heat dissipation structure is added to the compressor to address the cooling problem of the controller, thereby improving the reliability of the controller. However, these solutions also have some shortcomings. For example, patent (CN214617019U) discloses a scroll compressor with a heat dissipation structure, comprising a housing, a top cover and a bottom cover at both ends of the housing, a PCB controller connected to one end of the bottom cover, an air intake opening on the side connected to the bottom cover for drawing in refrigerant, a fin-shaped baffle for guiding the refrigerant on the air intake opening corresponding to the bearing seat in the bottom cover, when the refrigerant enters the housing through the air intake opening, it is finally transferred to the PCB controller through thermal grease, thereby achieving good heat dissipation, prolonging the service life of the scroll compressor, thereby improving the efficiency of the compressor, and also reducing some noise. That is, the disclosure adds a fin-shaped baffle in the bottom cover to guide part of the refrigerant to the PCB controller. There are three limitations to this solution. First, the refrigerant guided by the fin-shaped baffle can only cool the outer area of ​​the bearing seat, and the cooling effect on the controller in the corresponding area of ​​the bearing seat is poor; second, the refrigerant entering the compressor from the intake port flows more toward the scroll disk, and only a small part flows along the fin baffle to participate in cooling, and the cooling effect is limited; third, the controller and the low-temperature refrigerant are separated by a thicker bottom cover. This design increases the thermal resistance and affects the cooling effect.

[0005] Patent (CN211764820U) discloses a heat dissipation structure for a vehicle air-conditioning compressor controller, which includes a compressor housing, a compressor, a controller housing, a controller, and a work box. A water tank is installed below the work box, and a micro pump is fixedly installed in the water tank. A water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the micro pump, and one end of the water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to a condenser pipe. The end of the condenser pipe away from the water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to a water outlet. The end of the water outlet away from the condenser pipe is fixedly connected to the wall of the water tank away from the water inlet pipe. A fixture is also fixedly installed on the outer wall of the work box, and the fixture is fixedly connected to the condenser pipe. A semiconductor refrigeration plate is installed on the wall of the condenser pipe. That is, the disclosure uses an external water tank to cool the controller. Its limitations are: a larger space is required to meet the installation requirements of the heat dissipation structure; water is used as the cooling medium, which needs to be replenished in time; and the use of semiconductor refrigeration to cool the circulating water brings additional energy consumption, which is not friendly to the battery life of electric vehicles.

[0006] Therefore, the cooling problem of the controller in the scroll compressor is still a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field.

[0007] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present invention, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to ordinary technicians in this field.

[0041] In response to the existing technical problems, the present invention provides a scroll compressor, comprising a front shell; a rear shell, provided with a bearing bracket and a first cavity capable of accommodating at least one power module; a hollow shell connecting the front shell and the rear shell, wherein one end of the shell connected to the rear shell is provided with an air intake; a crankshaft and a secondary bearing accommodated in the shell, one side of the secondary bearing being sleeved on one end of the long axis of the crankshaft, and the other side of the secondary bearing being mounted on the bearing bracket; and a heat dissipation structure fixed to the long axis of the crankshaft, wherein the rotation of the crankshaft drives the heat dissipation structure to rotate to generate wind flow toward the rear shell.

[0042] The present invention reasonably utilizes the existing internal space of the compressor and does not add additional cooling pipelines. By adding a heat dissipation structure, the heat dissipation effect of the power module and the auxiliary bearing of the controller is enhanced, so that the power module can be cooled by the refrigerant sucked into the compressor to the greatest extent, and the heat exchange between the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant and the power module of the controller is enhanced, thereby realizing the cooling of the power module of the controller and improving the overall reliability of the compressor; in some embodiments, more refrigerant is allowed to flow through the auxiliary bearing through the second cavity between the rear shell and the auxiliary bearing, providing more oil and gas lubrication for the auxiliary bearing, thereby ensuring efficient operation of the compressor. The compressor heat dissipation mechanism of the present invention has a simple structure and its manufacturing process is correspondingly simple. While ensuring the reliability of oil and gas supply, it realizes sufficient lubrication of the auxiliary bearing and sufficient cooling of the controller power module.

[0043] The structure of the scroll compressor of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] Figure 1 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a scroll compressor according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the scroll compressor includes:

[0045] front shell 11;

[0046] The rear housing 13 is provided with a bearing bracket 131 and a first cavity a for accommodating at least one power module;

[0047] A hollow shell 12 connects the front shell 11 and the rear shell 13 , and an air inlet 121 is provided at one end of the shell 12 connected to the rear shell 13 ;

[0048] The crankshaft 2 and auxiliary bearing 3 are housed in the housing 12. Typically, the crankshaft 2 includes a long shaft portion, one end of which is connected to one side of the auxiliary bearing 3. An eccentric pin is provided at the other end. A shoulder portion is provided between the long shaft portion and the eccentric pin. The compressor's main bearing is sleeved onto the shoulder portion of the crankshaft and rotatably engages with it. The other side of the auxiliary bearing 3 is mounted on the bearing bracket 131.

[0049] Of course, the scroll compressor also includes a motor and a compression scroll disposed in the interior space of the housing 12. The motor includes a rotor assembly 41 and a stator assembly 42. The rotor assembly 41 is interference-fitted with the crankshaft 2, and the stator assembly 42 is located on the periphery of the rotor assembly 41. The compression scroll includes an orbiting scroll 51 and a fixed scroll 52 that cooperate to form a plurality of compression chambers. The eccentric pin of the crankshaft 2 drives the orbiting scroll 51 to rotate.

[0050] The scroll compressor of the present invention also includes a heat dissipation structure 8, which is fixed to the long axis of the crankshaft 2, that is, arranged between the rotor assembly 41 and the auxiliary bearing 3. The rotation of the crankshaft 2 drives the heat dissipation structure 8 to rotate in the same direction and speed to generate airflow toward the rear shell 13.

[0051] In some embodiments, the heat dissipation structure has a blade-shaped structure. Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of the heat dissipation structure of an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the heat dissipation structure 8 includes a fan base 81 and at least one fan blade 82; the fan base 81 is fixed to the outer wall of the long axis portion 2; the fan blade 82 is circumferentially arranged on the side wall of the fan base 81.

[0052] The fan blades 82 can be made of materials such as metal, plastic or rubber materials; the fan blades 82 can be made by injection molding, 3D printing, machining or casting. The base 81 can also be made of materials such as metal, plastic or rubber materials, and the same process can be used as the fan blades 82. In this case, the base 81 and the fan blades 82 can be made into an integral piece. In the present invention, there is no limitation on the number and shape of the fan blades, and they can be set according to the specific model of the compressor, such as the space between the rotor assembly 41 and the secondary bearing 3 in the casing. When a heat dissipation structure includes multiple fan blades, the multiple fan blades can be evenly distributed on the circumference of the side wall of the fan base 82. It should be noted that,

[0053] Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the heat dissipation structure of another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the heat dissipation structure includes a plurality of fan blades 82 and a circular frame 83 arranged on the periphery of the plurality of fan blades 82. The frame 83 arranged on the periphery of the plurality of fan blades can fix the fan blades to increase the rigidity of the heat dissipation mechanism of the blade-type structure.

[0054] In the present invention, the fixed connection method of the fan base 81 and the outer wall of the long axis portion 2 is not limited. In order to ensure that the heat dissipation structure does not loosen during operation, preferably, the fan base 81 and the long axis portion 2 can be connected by interference fit, spring connection, key connection, shrink fit connection, threaded connection or riveted connection, etc. Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown.

[0055] The connection method between the fan blades 82 and the fan base 81 is also not limited, and can be a T-bolt connection, a pre-embedded bolt connection, an implanted bolt connection, etc. As mentioned above, the fan blades and the base can also be formed in one piece, in which case no additional connection is required. The above connections can effectively prevent the fan blades from loosening during operation.

[0056] When the scroll compressor of the present invention is in operation, the refrigerant gas enters the cavity between the motor of the compressor and the rear shell 13 from the air intake port 121, and the rotation of the crankshaft 2 drives the heat dissipation structure 8 to rotate in the same direction and speed, generating a flow of refrigerant gas toward the rear shell 13, which can effectively enhance the heat exchange between the refrigerant gas and the first cavity a of the rear shell 13. When the power module of the controller is set in the first cavity a of the rear shell 13, the heat dissipation of the power module can be effectively enhanced accordingly.

[0057] The power module 9 provided in the present invention can be an IGBT power module, that is, a power module composed of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). It is essentially a composite power device that integrates the advantages of a bipolar power transistor and a power MOSFET. It is mainly used in the main circuit inverter of the frequency converter and all inverter circuits, that is, DC / AC conversion, and is a key component of the controller. The IGBT power module has the advantages of large input impedance, low drive power, simple control circuit, low switching loss, fast on-off speed, high operating frequency, and large component capacity. Usually, the IGBT power module has a heat dissipation surface 91, such as Figure 6 When the compressor of the present invention further comprises a plurality of power modules, the heat dissipation surface thereof can be arranged on the cavity wall between the cavity formed by the rear shell and the motor and the first cavity a.

[0058] In some embodiments, the scroll compressor further includes a baffle 7 disposed on the inner wall of the housing 12 at the air inlet 121. Figure 1As shown, the baffle 7 is mounted on the inner wall of the housing 12 between the air intake and the motor. The baffle 7 can be an open ring structure, such as a semicircular ring structure. When the refrigerant gas enters the compressor from the air intake 121, the vortex suction structure causes the refrigerant gas to flow toward the motor. The arrangement of the baffle 7 allows as much refrigerant gas as possible to pass through the cavity formed by the rear housing and the motor before flowing to the motor, thereby enhancing the heat exchange between the refrigerant gas and the first cavity a of the rear housing 13. At the same time, the refrigerant gas can still flow toward the compression scroll side from the open portion of the baffle 7.

[0059] In some embodiments, the bearing bracket 131 provided on the rear housing 13 may be as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the bearing support 131 forms a protrusion facing away from the first cavity a. In this case, a second cavity b is formed between the bearing support 131 and the auxiliary bearing 3. Typically, the auxiliary bearing 3 is connected to the bearing support 131 via the inner bearing ring, bearing balls, and outer bearing ring. Refrigerant gas can flow into the second cavity b through the gaps between the inner bearing ring, bearing balls, and outer bearing ring. The bearing support 131 may also be provided with at least one exhaust hole 1311, which connects the second cavity b with the cavity formed by the rear housing 13 and the motor.

[0060] The compressor of the above structure may further include at least one power module 9 housed in the first cavity a, and the heat dissipation surface 91 of each of the power modules 9 is arranged on the cavity wall between the first cavity a and the second cavity b. Of course, in actual use, in order to facilitate the installation of the power module 9, a slot for accommodating the power module may be provided in the cavity wall between the first cavity a and the second cavity b. Figure 7 The figure is a schematic diagram of the airflow state of the scroll compressor of this embodiment. When the scroll compressor is running, the refrigerant gas enters the cavity between the motor and the rear shell 13 of the compressor from the air intake port 121. There is a baffle 7 blocking the channel near the air intake port 121, so that as much refrigerant gas as possible flows in the direction of the rear shell 13. At the same time, the rotation of the crankshaft 2 drives the heat dissipation structure 8 to rotate in the same direction and speed, generating a wind flow of refrigerant gas toward the rear shell 13. The refrigerant gas flows into the second cavity b through the gap between the inner ring of the bearing, the bearing ball and the outer ring of the bearing. The refrigerant gas then flows out from the exhaust through hole 1311 into the cavity formed by the rear shell 13 and the motor. The refrigerant gas flow state of the above process is shown as follows. Figure 7 As shown by the arrows, the heat exchange between the refrigerant gas and the cavity wall between the first cavity a and the second cavity b is effectively enhanced, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the power module 9 on the cavity wall.

[0061] Figure 7In the embodiment, the at least one exhaust through-hole 1311 can be disposed on a side of the bearing support 131 away from the air intake 121. Accordingly, the unclosed portion of the baffle 7 is disposed on a side of the bearing support away from the air intake 121. That is, the unclosed portion of the baffle 7 and the exhaust through-hole 1311 are located on one side of the compressor, which facilitates the refrigerant gas flowing into the cavity formed by the rear housing 13 and the motor to flow from the unclosed portion of the baffle 7 to the compression scroll, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the compressor.

[0062] In existing compressors, the auxiliary bearing and the first chamber housing the controller's power module are cooled naturally only by the inhaled refrigerant gas, resulting in weak heat exchange between the two. The present invention, with its heat dissipation structure 8 and second cavity b within the rear housing 13, utilizes the crankshaft 2 to drive the heat dissipation structure 8 to rotate during operation, generating forced convection. This improves the convective heat exchange between the auxiliary bearing 3 and the second cavity b, thereby alleviating the controller's high-temperature issues. Furthermore, when the heat dissipation structure 8 generates forced convection, it also blows the oil mist from the refrigerant gas toward the auxiliary bearing 3, optimizing its lubrication and ensuring the compressor's reliability.
