Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration and air conditioning, and in particular to an expansion-compression integrated machine capable of continuously adjusting working conditions based on speed coupling. Background Art

[0002] Steam compression refrigeration has always been one of the most important and widely used refrigeration methods in refrigeration and air-conditioning technology. The basic steam compression refrigeration cycle generally has the following four processes: 1) Compression process. The medium-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant vapor coming out of the evaporator is compressed into high-temperature and high-pressure superheated vapor in the compressor; 2) Heat release process. The high-temperature and high-pressure steam coming out of the compressor enters the condenser to release heat. In this process, the refrigerant vapor releases heat to the outside, thereby lowering the temperature, and condenses into liquid under saturated pressure; 3) Throttling process. The refrigerant after heat release and condensation passes through the throttling device and begins the throttling expansion process. The pressure and temperature are reduced, and it becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid and enters the evaporator; 4) Heat absorption process. The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant absorbs heat and evaporates in the evaporator to become refrigerant vapor.

[0003] According to the refrigeration conditions and the different thermal properties of the refrigerant, the vapor compression refrigeration cycle can be divided into subcritical cycle, transcritical cycle and supercritical cycle. For the vapor compression refrigeration cycle with Freon as the refrigerant, most of them belong to subcritical cycle, while for working fluids such as carbon dioxide, due to the high critical temperature and critical pressure (the critical temperature of carbon dioxide is 31.1℃, and the critical pressure is 7.3MPa), the heat release process usually takes place in the supercritical region, so most of them are transcritical cycle or supercritical cycle. Regardless of the form of refrigeration cycle, the throttling process is generally carried out in the throttling valve. The throttling process is essentially an irreversible isenthalpic process. This irreversible process will cause serious energy loss, especially for the transcritical cycle of working fluids such as carbon dioxide. The pressure difference before and after throttling is large, and the irreversible loss is large.

[0004] The expander is a device that can recover energy (expansion work) during the throttling process. After the high-pressure and high-temperature refrigerant vapor enters the expander, the pressure and temperature decrease, and at the same time, the thermodynamic energy of the gas is converted into kinetic energy to output the expansion work. The output of the expansion work can significantly reduce the overall power consumption of the refrigeration system, which is of great significance for improving the energy efficiency of the refrigeration cycle system.

[0005] At present, the application of expander technology in refrigeration cycles faces some problems. First, the traditional common turbine expander is often only suitable for large refrigeration units due to its large size; second, the expansion work output by the expander cannot be integrated with the input work of the compressor, resulting in a complex system structure and low energy utilization efficiency; in addition, traditional expanders are generally mechanical devices designed under standard conditions. When the system operates under non-design conditions, there are over-expansion and under-expansion in the expander. A motorless variable expansion ratio scroll expander compressor and its heat pump system (201911288781.8). The invention sets three air intake ports on the expansion side to achieve three different expansion ratio conditions, and sets three exhaust ports on the compression side to achieve three different compression ratio conditions. The invention essentially designs three operating conditions for the expander and compressor, and cannot achieve continuous adjustment of the expansion condition. When the operating condition deviates from the design condition, the system performance will be greatly reduced. In addition, the expansion side and the compression side of the invention are coaxially linked, and the expansion disk and the compression disk are connected at the same speed through a connecting shaft, which will cause the problem of flow imbalance between the expansion side and the compression side in the refrigeration cycle. Therefore, how to design an expansion-compression integrated machine that can continuously adjust the working conditions, couple the expansion recovery work with the compressor power consumption, and has a compact and efficient structure is the key technical problem to be solved by the present invention. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0047] This embodiment takes a carbon dioxide transcritical refrigeration cycle as a specific implementation object, and it can be extended to vapor compression refrigeration cycles of other refrigerants according to actual conditions.

[0052] The compression scroll plate includes a compression stator plate, a compression movable plate and a compression cross; the compression movable plate and the compression stator plate are assembled with a phase difference of 180 degrees, and the bottom surface of the compression movable plate presses the compression cross.

[0053] The compression stator comprises a compression stator end cover and a compression stator vortex, wherein the compression stator end cover is connected to the upper half of the outer shell by fixing screws, and a compression stator pressure chamber is provided on the compression stator end cover, and the chamber is a spiral structure, and its structural dimensions match those of the compression stator vortex;

[0054] The compression stator vortex is an elastic spiral structure, which is gradually pressed down / springs up under the pressure of the compression stator pressure chamber, and matches the compression stator pressure chamber on the compression stator end cover, and the compression stator end cover is partially embedded in the compression stator pressure chamber;

[0055] The planetary gear comprises a sun gear, a planetary gear, a planetary gear carrier and a ring gear;

[0056] The sun gear is located inside the planetary gear and is connected to the expansion disk via a transmission shaft;

[0057] The ring gear is located outside the planetary gear and is connected to the compression movable plate through a transmission shaft;

[0058] The planetary gear is located between the sun gear and the ring gear, and the planetary gear is connected to the planetary gear carrier via a connecting shaft on the planetary gear carrier;

[0059] The outer edge of the planetary gear carrier is also provided with a helical gear;

[0060] An air inlet connected to the expansion air inlet on the outer shell is provided at the center of the expansion stator;

[0061] An exhaust port connected to the expansion exhaust port on the outer shell is provided at the outermost edge of the expansion stator;

[0062] The expansion and static disk is also provided with a pressure regulating port which is connected with the pressure regulating port of the expansion and static disk on the outer shell;

[0063] An air inlet connected to the compression air inlet on the outer shell is provided at the center of the compression stator disk;

[0064] An exhaust port connected to the compression exhaust port on the outer shell is provided at the outermost edge of the compression stator;

[0065] The compression stator plate is also provided with a pressure regulating port which is in communication with the compression stator plate pressure regulating port on the outer shell.

[0066] The motor comprises a motor stator, a motor rotor and a motor transmission gear;

[0067] The motor stator is fixed to the lower half of the outer shell;

[0068] The motor rotor is connected to the motor transmission gear via a motor transmission shaft;

[0069] The motor transmission gear is meshed with the helical gear on the outer edge of the planetary gear carrier.

[0070] The expansion scroll, the planetary gear, the compression scroll, the transmission shaft and the gear are made of metal materials such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy;

[0071] The pressure in the pressure chamber of the expansion static disk is regulated by mechanical pressure or other pressure regulating methods;

[0072] The pressure in the compression static disk pressure chamber is regulated by mechanical pressure, liquid pressure or gas pressure.

[0073] The expansion work is coupled with the motor input work through the planetary gear, and they are used as the input work on the compression side. At the same time, the static disk is designed to be elastic, and the expansion ratio / compression ratio can be continuously adjusted. In the steam refrigeration cycle, the medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant from the condenser (subcritical cycle) or the gas cooler (transcritical cycle or supercritical cycle) enters the crescent-shaped suction cavity of the expansion scroll from the expansion inlet, and drives the expansion disk to move around the expansion static disk in a plane under the action of the pressure difference. The expansion disk continuously moves to seal the cavity. As the expansion disk moves, the sealed cavity gradually moves toward the outside of the expansion scroll, and the volume increases, and the temperature and pressure decrease. When the cavity reaches the edge of the expansion exhaust port, the maximum expansion is formed, and the low-temperature and low-pressure gas is discharged from the expansion exhaust port, forming a complete expansion process. Expansion is a continuous process, and suction, expansion and exhaust are carried out simultaneously. The expansion disk driven by the pressure difference outputs shaft work to the outside.

[0074] The shaft work output by the expansion scroll is transmitted to the sun gear on the planetary gear through the transmission shaft, causing the sun gear to rotate. On this basis, the input work from the motor is transmitted to the planetary gear carrier on the planetary gear through the transmission shaft, causing the planetary gear to revolve around the sun gear. The direction of the planetary gear's revolution is opposite to the direction of the sun gear's rotation, thereby achieving the speed coupling of the two. The coupled speed is transmitted to the ring gear of the planetary gear and finally transmitted to the compression scroll through the transmission shaft.

[0075] In the steam refrigeration cycle, the medium-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant from the evaporator enters the crescent-shaped suction cavity of the compression scroll from the compression inlet, and drives the compression moving disk to move around the compression static disk in a plane under the action of the pressure difference. The compression moving disk continuously moves to seal the cavity. As the compression moving disk moves, the volume of the sealed cavity gradually moves toward the center of the compression scroll, and the temperature and pressure increase. When the cavity reaches the compression exhaust port at the center of the compression scroll, the maximum compression is formed, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas is discharged from the compression exhaust port, forming a complete compression process. Compression is a continuous process, and suction, compression, and exhaust are carried out simultaneously. The power consumption of the compressor is provided by the shaft power output of the expansion and the input power of the motor.

[0076] The elastic spiral of the expansion and static disk can achieve the downward pressure / elasticity of the expansion and static disk spiral by adjusting the pressure in the expansion and static disk pressure chamber. When the pressure in the expansion and static disk pressure chamber is increased, the elastic expansion and static disk spiral gradually presses down, the initial crescent-shaped suction chamber volume of the expansion process gradually decreases, and the expansion ratio gradually increases; when the pressure in the expansion and static disk pressure chamber is reduced, the elastic expansion and static disk spiral gradually bounces up, the initial crescent-shaped suction chamber volume of the expansion process gradually increases, and the expansion ratio gradually decreases. Thus, continuous adjustment of the expansion ratio is achieved.

[0077] The elastic spiral of the compression stator can achieve the downward pressure / elasticity of the compression stator spiral by adjusting the pressure in the compression stator pressure chamber. When the pressure in the compression stator pressure chamber is increased, the elastic compression stator spiral gradually presses down, the volume of the crescent-shaped exhaust chamber in the compression process gradually decreases, and the compression ratio gradually increases; when the pressure in the compression stator pressure chamber is reduced, the elastic compression stator spiral gradually bounces up, the volume of the crescent-shaped exhaust chamber in the compression process gradually increases, and the compression ratio gradually decreases. Thus, the continuous adjustment of the compression ratio is achieved.

[0078] When the operating conditions of the vapor compression refrigeration cycle change, the expansion ratio / compression ratio of the refrigeration cycle can be adjusted by adjusting the pressure in the expansion plate pressure chamber / compression plate pressure chamber.

[0079] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, an expansion-compression integrated machine with a continuously adjustable working condition based on speed coupling includes an outer shell 7, and the upper half of the outer shell 7 is provided with an expansion stator end cover 29, an expansion stator vortex 22, an expansion moving disc 28, an expansion cross 21, a planetary gear, a compression cross 16, a compression moving disc 12, a compression stator vortex 10, and a compression stator end cover 9 in sequence along the axial direction.

[0089] like Figure 2a~Figure 2bAs shown, an expansion-compression integrated machine of the present invention with continuously adjustable working conditions based on speed coupling has an expansion ratio adjustment example as follows:

[0090] like Figure 2a As shown, when the internal pressure of the expansion plate pressure chamber 27 is increased to the maximum through the expansion plate pressure regulating port 25, the expansion plate vortex 22 is completely pressed down to fit the expansion plate 28. At this time, the bottom surface of the entire expansion plate vortex 22 is completely on the same plane. At this time, the expansion process starts to inhale from point A, the initial crescent-shaped inhalation volume is the smallest, and the expansion process expansion ratio is the largest (state 1). Figure 2b As shown, when the internal pressure of the expansion static disk pressure chamber 27 is reduced through the expansion static disk pressure regulating port 25, the expansion static disk vortex 22, under the action of the rebound force, starts to leave the bottom surface (BC section) from the center (state 2), at this time, the initial suction volume of the crescent becomes larger, and the expansion ratio of the expansion process decreases. As the internal pressure of the expansion static disk pressure chamber 27 continues to decrease, the expansion ratio can be continuously adjusted from large to small.

[0091] As shown in FIG3 , an expansion-compression integrated machine of the present invention with continuously adjustable working conditions based on speed coupling has a compression ratio adjustment example as follows:

[0092] like Figure 3a As shown in FIG. 1 , when the internal pressure of the compression stator plate pressure chamber 11 is increased to the maximum through the compression stator plate pressure regulating port 13, the compression stator plate vortex 10 is completely pressed down to fit the compression moving plate 12.

[0094] The shaft work generated from the expansion process is transmitted to the sun gear 23 via the transmission shaft 24 between the expansion disk and the sun gear, causing the sun gear 23 to rotate. The input work from the motor is transmitted to the planetary gear carrier 2 via the motor transmission gear 17. Driven by the planetary gear carrier 2, the planetary gear 3 revolves around the sun gear, and the rotation direction of the sun gear 23 is opposite to the direction of the planetary gear 3 revolving around the sun gear, thereby coupling the speed to the ring gear 4. The rotation of the ring gear 4 is then transmitted to the compression disk 12 via the transmission shaft 15 between the ring gear and the compression disk, thereby completing the compression process. In the process of speed coupling transmission, part of the work consumed in the compression process comes from the shaft work recovered in the expansion process, and part is supplemented by the input work of the motor.
