TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of air conditioners, and particularly relates to a compressor and an air conditioner. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, a scroll compressor is a volumetric compression compressor, and a compression component is composed of a moving scroll disc and a fixed scroll disc. During compression, relative revolution of the moving scroll disc and the fixed scroll disc forms continuous change of a closed volume, so as to achieve the purpose of compressing gas. Since the closed cavity formed by meshing of the moving scroll disc and the fixed scroll disc has a certain gas pressure, the moving scroll disc will bear an axial gas force opposite to the fixed disc during compression. In order to increase bearing life, reduce damage of the axial force to the bearing during high-speed operation, and reduce problems of scroll disc wear and compression chamber leakage caused by imbalance of the axial force, it is particularly necessary to adopt a structure design capable of balancing the axial gas force of the moving scroll disc. Therefore, most of the existing scroll compressor designs adopt a back pressure chamber structure. By arranging mounting racks, shaft seals and other components on the back of the moving scroll disc, a closed cavity is formed on the back of the moving scroll disc. The intermediate pressure refrigerant between suction pressure and discharge pressure is introduced into the closed cavity. Due to the existence of the gas pressure, an axial thrust towards the fixed disc is generated on the moving scroll disc, so as to balance the axial gas force generated by the compression cavity.
[0003] However, in the related art, the pressure gas introduced from the compression cavity of the moving and fixed scroll discs enters the back pressure cavity at the bottom of the moving scroll disc. The back pressure cavity is adjacent to the lubricating oil channel of the moving and fixed scroll discs. After the scroll compressor is high-speedized, the lubricating oil film of the moving and fixed scroll discs becomes thin. The gas in the back pressure cavity occupies the space of the lubricating oil, resulting in insufficient lubrication of the moving and fixed scroll discs, and eccentric wear of the moving and fixed scroll discs, which is particularly serious during super high-speed operation.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a compressor and an air conditioner capable of providing back pressure while ensuring lubrication effect has become a problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. SUMMARY

The position and size of the oil supply cavity 41 of the application are equivalent to the back pressure cavity in the related art, that is, the structure of the back pressure cavity is not cancelled in the application, and only the injection of gas into the back pressure cavity is cancelled relative to the related art; lubricating oil is injected into the back pressure cavity to form the oil supply cavity 41 of the application, the oil supply cavity 41 is in communication with the high-pressure cavity (the high-pressure gas discharged in the scroll structure is in the compressor housing, so that the entire housing is a high-pressure cavity, and the oil supply cavity 41 is in communication with the housing, so the oil supply cavity 41 is also a high-pressure cavity), and the oil supply cavity 41 can be pressed by oil pressure.
[0044] The support structure 4 is an upper support, the moving scroll 2 is pressed on the cross slide ring 3, the cross slide ring 3 is pressed on the upper support, the two bosses at the bottom of the cross slide ring 3 are matched with the grooves of the upper support to realize the up-down movement of the cross slide ring 3, the two bosses at the top of the cross slide ring 3 are matched with the grooves of the moving scroll 2 to guide the rotation of the moving scroll 2 and realize the revolution without rotation of the moving scroll 2. The oil groove 31 of the cross slide ring 3 and the bottom of the moving scroll 2 form a first sealed oil pool, and the raised sealing surface of the cross slide ring 3 and the groove sealing surface of the moving scroll 2 form a second sealed oil pool.
[0045] The application also discloses some embodiments, the compressor further comprises an adjusting bolt 5; the support structure 4 is provided with a threaded hole, the threaded hole is in communication with the oil supply cavity 41; the adjusting bolt 5 is arranged in the threaded hole and can move in the threaded hole to adjust the oil amount in the oil supply cavity 41.
[0046] The present application also discloses some embodiments, in which a mounting hole is further provided on the support structure 4; the compressor also includes a crankshaft 6, which is rotatably mounted in the mounting hole, and the movable scroll 2 includes a mounting sleeve, which is sleeved on the crankshaft 6; the mounting sleeve can rotate with the rotation of the crankshaft 6; the oil storage structure includes an oil pool; the crankshaft 6 has a central oil hole, which connects the hollow cavity 21 and the oil pool.
[0047] The present invention provides an oil channel inside the movable scroll 2, one end of which is connected to the upper end of the crankshaft 6 and the other end is connected to the oil pool of the cross ring 3. The oil pool of the cross ring 3 is composed of an upper and lower pair of cross rings 3 and a left and right pair. The upper and lower pairs are provided on the cross ring 3, and the left and right pairs are composed of the guide surface of the cross ring 3 of the movable scroll 2 (the sealing oil pool of the cross ring 3 of the movable scroll 2) and the upper sealing surface of the cross ring 3, i.e., the first sealing surface 322 and the lower sealing surface, i.e., the first sealing surface 321. Figure 7 / 8 / 9. As the compressor crankshaft 6 rotates, an oil pump at its base presses lubricating oil into the upper end of the crankshaft 6. The oil hole at the upper end of the crankshaft 6 passes through the oil hole inside the orbiting scroll 2 and into the oil reservoir of the Oldham ring 3. The high-pressure oil reservoir propels the upper and lower contact surfaces between the orbiting scroll 2 and the Oldham ring 3. The Oldham ring 3 is restrained and immovable by the shaft system. The axial upward pressure generated by the oil pushes up the orbiting scroll 2, achieving a contact seal between the orbiting and stationary scrolls 1. The oil flows through the oil groove 31 of the Oldham ring 3 and then into the backpressure chamber between the orbiting scroll 2 and the upper bracket. Once the backpressure chamber is full, the lubricating oil enters the lubrication passages of the orbiting and stationary scrolls, continuously lubricating the contact surfaces. The pressure in the backpressure chamber can be adjusted using the oil volume adjustment screw 5. Excess lubricating oil can then flow back to the bottom of the crankshaft 6, completing the cycle. This structure eliminates the backpressure cavities in the orbiting and stationary scrolls 2 and 1, completely filling the backpressure chambers with lubricating oil. This eliminates oil film failure caused by backpressure between the orbiting and stationary scrolls, improving high-speed reliability.
