DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, and it should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0031] It should be pointed out that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further description of the present application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0032] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, and furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in the specification, there is a presence of the features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0033] In order to solve the problems of increased oil discharge rate of the compressor and deteriorated lubrication, and to ensure sufficient lubrication of the crankshaft and the bearing, the present application provides a crankshaft and a rolling rotor type compressor with the crankshaft.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the rolling rotor compressor of this embodiment mainly includes a crankshaft 1, a main bearing 2 and a secondary bearing 3. The inner surface of the main bearing 2 is sleeved on the long shaft section 11 of the crankshaft 1, and the inner surface of the secondary bearing 3 is sleeved on the short shaft section 12 of the crankshaft 1. Two eccentric parts 15 are provided between the long shaft section 11 and the short shaft section 12, corresponding to a dual rotor compressor.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, an oil supply micro-groove 20 is provided on the long shaft section 11 of the crankshaft 1, and a central oil hole 13 is provided in the center of the crankshaft 1 along its axial direction. A radial oil outlet hole 14 is provided on one side of the oil supply micro-groove 20, and the oil outlet hole 14 is connected to the central oil hole 13.

[0037] The oil supply micro-groove 20 includes a first micro-groove 21 and a second micro-groove 22 arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the crankshaft 1. The extension directions of the first micro-groove 21 and the second micro-groove 22 are both intersecting the axial direction of the crankshaft 1, and the extension direction of the first micro-groove 21 is opposite to the extension direction of the second micro-groove 22.

[0038] To further improve the lubrication effect of the oil supply microgrooves 20, multiple oil supply microgrooves 20 are provided and distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the crankshaft 1, forming a microgroove group that circles the central axis of the crankshaft 1.

[0039] Specifically, the micro-groove group consisting of multiple first micro-grooves 21 is the first micro-groove group 210, which is located near the eccentric part 15, and the micro-groove group consisting of multiple second micro-grooves 22 is the second micro-groove group 220, which is located away from the eccentric part 15, and the oil outlet 14 is located on the side of the first micro-groove group 210 near the eccentric part 15.

[0040] Optional, such as Figure 3 As shown, the angle between the extension direction of the first microgroove 21 and the second microgroove 22 and the axial direction of the crankshaft 1 is α, and its value ranges from 10 to 80°. In this embodiment, the value is 30°.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, a groove platform 23 is formed between two adjacent oil supply micro-grooves 20. That is, there is a groove platform 23 between two adjacent first micro-grooves 21 and between two adjacent second micro-grooves 22. It should be noted that the groove platform 23 is a spacer structure left on the outer surface of the crankshaft 1 due to the micro-grooving process, and it does not protrude from the outer surface of the crankshaft 1.

[0042] To improve lubrication, the oil supply micro-groove 20 has a certain width ratio to the groove platform 23. Specifically, the first micro-groove 21 will be used as an example for explanation. Figure 3In the embodiment, the width of the first micro groove 21 is w, the sum of the width of the first micro groove 21 and the width of the groove table 23 is t, and w / t can be set to 0.1-0.9, and in the embodiment, w / t is 0.5.

[0043] As shown in Figure 2 , the first micro groove 21 and the second micro groove 22 are arranged at intervals, so that the groove dam 24 is formed between the first micro groove group 210 and the second micro groove group 220, and similarly, the groove dam 24 is also an interval structure left on the outer surface of the crankshaft 1 due to micro groove processing, which does not protrude from the outer surface of the crankshaft 1.

[0044] In order to enhance the control of the oil discharge rate and improve the lubrication effect, the first micro groove 21, the second micro groove 22 and the groove dam 25 have a certain length ratio, and specifically, as shown in Figure 3 , the length of the entire oil supply micro groove 20 in the axial direction of the crankshaft 1 is L, the length of the first micro groove 21 in the axial direction of the crankshaft 1 is g1, the length of the second micro groove 22 in the axial direction of the crankshaft 1 is g2, and (g1+g2) / L can be set to 0.2-1, and when the value is 1, it means that the first micro groove 21 and the second micro groove 22 are connected and there is no groove dam 24 in between.

[0045] As can be easily understood, the total length L of the oil supply micro groove 20 should not be greater than the corresponding bearing height.

[0046] In order to ensure the pump oil return effect of the oil supply micro groove 20, the running direction of the first micro groove 21 and the second micro groove 22 needs to be opposite to the rotation direction of the crankshaft 1, and specifically, for the first micro groove 21, the direction in which the first micro groove 21 extends from the side away from the second micro groove 22 to the other side thereof is opposite to the rotation direction of the crankshaft 1, that is, as an example, Figure 2 , the direction in which the first micro groove 21 extends from the side close to the eccentric part 15 to the other side away from the eccentric part 15 is opposite to the rotation direction of the crankshaft 1, and corresponding to Figure 3 , the running direction of the first micro groove 21 is from left to right, and the rotation direction of the crankshaft 1 is from right to left.

[0047] Since the extension direction of the second micro groove 22 is opposite to that of the first micro groove 21, after the running direction of the first micro groove 21 is determined, the running direction of the second micro groove 22 is correspondingly determined.

[0048] As can be easily understood, when the oil outlet hole 14 is arranged on one side of the first micro groove 21, the first micro groove 21 functions as a pump, and the second micro groove 22 functions as a return; when the oil outlet hole 14 is arranged on one side of the second micro groove 22, the second micro groove 22 functions as a pump, and the first micro groove 21 functions as a return.

[0049] In order to make the micro groove generate step dynamic pressure effect while supplying oil, the depth of the oil supply micro groove 20 is set to 2-50 μm, that is, the depth of the first micro groove 21 and the second micro groove 22 is set to 2-50 μm.

[0050] In the embodiment, the shapes of the first micro groove 21 and the second micro groove 22 are not required, and the linear shapes thereof include but are not limited to straight lines, curves or helical lines.

[0051] By using the technical solution of the embodiment, the outer surface of the long axis section 11 of the crankshaft 1 is provided with the first micro groove group 210 and the second micro groove group 220, the fluid medium is axially pumped along the central oil hole 13 of the crankshaft 1 and flows out from the radial oil outlet hole 14, and the fluid medium is pumped to the bearing surface of the crankshaft 1 by the first micro groove group 210 to achieve the oil supply effect, accompanied by the circumferential shearing action and the axial pressure difference of the crankshaft 1. When the fluid medium flows along the first micro groove group 210 to the second micro groove 220, the second micro groove group 220 is opposite to the first micro groove group 210, and the second micro groove group 220 plays a reverse pumping role, that is, a back oil effect. That is, the first micro groove group 210 plays a role of pumping oil, and the second micro groove group 220 plays a role of back oil. In this way, the bearing can be fully lubricated, and the oil discharge rate can be effectively controlled, so as to ensure the stable and reliable operation of the compressor pump body.

[0052] Meanwhile, the micron-level depth of the first micro groove 21 and the second micro groove 22 does not destroy the oil film bearing capacity, ensures reliable lubrication, and along the flow direction of the fluid medium, at the groove table 23 and the groove dam 25, due to the convergence of the lubrication gap, a significant step dynamic pressure effect generates a local high pressure, as shown in Figure 4 , which further improves the overall bearing capacity of the oil film, ensures the reliability of lubrication, avoids problems such as oil film rupture caused by changes in operating conditions or external disturbances during work, reduces contact wear failure, and can further realize refrigerant lubrication to achieve an oil-free compressor design.

[0053] In addition, compared with the traditional oil groove on the inner surface of the bearing, the micro groove on the outer surface of the crankshaft reduces the machining difficulty and avoids the problem of design limitation of the position distribution and groove angle of the oil groove on the inner surface of the bearing in the non-bearing area.

[0054] Embodiment Two

[0055] This embodiment only describes the differences from Embodiment One, specifically, the first micro groove group 210 and the second micro groove group 220 are connected, and there is no groove dam 24 in the middle. The other components and principles are the same as those of Embodiment One, and will not be described here.

[0056] Embodiment Three
