[0047] The following describes optional embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] Embodiment 1

[0049] The present embodiment provides a compressor support suitable for a horizontal compressor, which can realize the rotation self-adaptation of the compressor.

[0050] Figure 1 And Figure 2 is a schematic view of the compressor support provided by Embodiment 1 of the present application, the swivel air conditioner 10 comprises a compressor 20, the compressor support 30 is installed on the swivel 40, the compressor 20 is installed on the compressor support 30, and the inclination angle of the compressor 20 relative to the horizontal plane can be adjusted through the compressor support 30, so that the oil suction hole of the oil suction pump inside the compressor 20 is lower than the oil level.

[0051] The present embodiment adjusts the inclination angle of the compressor 20 relative to the horizontal plane automatically according to the oil level when the compressor 20 works in the rotation state through the adjustable angle compressor support 30 arranged below the compressor 20, ensures that the oil suction hole of the oil suction pump inside the compressor 20 is always lower than the oil level in the compressor 20, so that the lubricating oil can be normally sucked in the rotation state, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the compressor.

[0052] The compressor support 30 can be fixedly installed on the swivel 40 or detachably installed on the swivel 40. The compressor 20 can be fixedly installed on the compressor support 30 or detachably installed on the compressor support 30.

[0053] The compressor support 30 comprises a fixed part 31, a movable part 32 and a transmission part 33. The fixed part 31 is installed on the turntable 40. The movable part 32 is connected with the fixed part 31. The transmission part 33 is connected with the movable part 32 and used to drive the movable part 32 to move. The compressor 20 is installed on the movable part 32 and the inclination angle of the compressor 20 relative to the horizontal plane is adjusted by the movement of the movable part 32.

[0054] The end of the movable part 32 close to the rotation center is connected to the fixed part 31, so that the compressor is inclined with the rotation center as the reference, that is, the side of the compressor close to the rotation center is lower than the side of the compressor far from the rotation center.

[0055] The movable part 32 is connected with the transmission part 33 through a connecting piece 34, the connecting piece 34 is connected to the movable part 32 at a position corresponding to the center of the compressor, so that the force balance of the movable part 32 is ensured and the service life of the device is prolonged.

[0056] The movable part 32 is preferably a rotatable bearing. The transmission part 33 can be realized by using a motor and a transmission belt, one end of the connecting piece 34 is connected with the output shaft of the motor and the other end of the connecting piece 34 is connected with the movable part 32. Of course, the transmission part 33 can also be realized by using other ways, and the realization of the transmission part 33 is not limited in the embodiment.

[0057] Considering that the inclination angle of the compressor 20 is adjusted at any time, the suction pipe and the exhaust pipe of the compressor 20 are both realized by using a hose, so as to better cooperate with the adjustment of the compressor 20 and avoid the damage of the pipeline.

[0058] The compressor 20 can be provided with a rotation speed sensor used to detect the angular velocity of the compressor 20 when rotating. Of course, the rotation speed sensor can also be arranged on the air conditioner 10.

[0059] Embodiment 2

[0060] The embodiment provides a turntable air conditioner, which comprises a compressor and the compressor support described in the above embodiment.

[0061] Embodiment 3

[0062] The embodiment provides a compressor control method, which is realized based on the compressor support described in the above embodiment. The same or corresponding terms are explained as in the above embodiment, and the embodiment will not be described herein. Figure 3 The embodiment 3 provides a flow chart of the compressor control method, as shown in Figure 3 The method comprises the following steps:

[0063] S301, determining the oil level inclination angle in the compressor during the rotation of the compressor.

[0064] S302, determine whether the oil suction port of the oil suction pump inside the compressor is lower than the oil level based on the oil level tilt angle.

[0065] S303, if not, adjust the tilt angle of the compressor relative to the horizontal plane to be equal to the oil level tilt angle.

[0066] If the oil suction port of the oil pump is lower than the oil level, it means that the oil pump can draw in lubricating oil, and there is no need to adjust the compressor tilt angle. If the oil suction port of the oil pump is not lower than the oil level, it means that the oil pump cannot draw in lubricating oil, and the compressor tilt angle needs to be adjusted so that the oil suction port of the oil pump is lower than the oil level.

[0067] Specifically, by controlling the motor in the compressor bracket to drive the movable part to rotate to a preset position, the tilt angle of the compressor relative to the horizontal plane is equal to the oil level tilt angle, thus achieving the adjustment of the compressor tilt angle.

[0068] The oil suction pump is fixed inside the compressor. When the tilt angle of the compressor is equal to the tilt angle of the oil level, the oil suction pump is perpendicular to the tilted oil level, thus ensuring that the oil suction port of the oil suction pump is lower than the oil level.

[0069] In this embodiment, the oil level tilt angle inside the compressor is determined during the compressor rotation process. If it is determined from the oil level tilt angle that the oil suction port of the oil pump inside the compressor is not lower than the oil level, the tilt angle of the compressor relative to the horizontal plane is adjusted to be equal to the oil level tilt angle. This ensures that the oil suction port of the oil pump inside the compressor is always lower than the oil level inside the compressor, so that it can normally draw lubricating oil during rotation, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the compressor.

[0070] In one implementation, determining the oil level tilt angle within the compressor includes: acquiring the angular velocity of the compressor during rotation; and calculating the oil level tilt angle based on the rotation radius and angular velocity. Specifically, the angular velocity of the compressor during rotation can be acquired using a speed sensor. The rotation radius is a parameter that can be determined after the air conditioner and turntable are installed.

[0071] Specifically, the oil level tilt angle can be calculated using the following formula: β=90°-arctan(g / ω) 2 R), where β represents the oil level tilt angle, g represents the gravitational acceleration, ω represents the angular velocity of the compressor during rotation, and R represents the radius of rotation.

[0072] The lubricating oil in the compressor oil sump is taken as the object of force analysis. The force analysis is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the lubricating oil is considered as a point mass with a weight of m. When it moves with the turntable with a rotation radius R and an angular velocity ω, it is mainly subjected to three forces: centrifugal force, gravity, and support force. The oil level is always perpendicular to the direction of the support force N.

[0073] The cooperative force of gravity and centrifugal force is F, and the angle a between F and the horizontal plane is:

[0074] a = arctan(mg / mw 2 R) = arctan(g / w 2 R).

[0075] When the forces are balanced, the supporting force N and the cooperative force F act on the same straight line, and the angle between the supporting force N and the horizontal plane is also a, so the angle β between the oil level and the horizontal plane (i.e. the oil level inclination angle) is:

[0076] β = 90° - a = 90° - arctan(g / w 2 R).

[0077] In one embodiment, the oil suction hole of the oil suction pump in the compressor is determined to be below the oil level according to the oil level inclination angle, comprising: calculating the distance between the top end of the oil suction pump and the oil level in the vertical direction according to the oil level inclination angle; determining the size relationship between the length of the oil suction pump and the distance; if the length of the oil suction pump is less than or equal to the distance, it is determined that the oil suction hole of the oil suction pump is not below the oil level; if the length of the oil suction pump is greater than the distance, it is determined that the oil suction hole of the oil suction pump is below the oil level.

[0078] The distance d between the top end of the oil suction pump and the oil level in the vertical direction can be calculated by the following formula: d = (r - h) / cos β, wherein β represents the oil level inclination angle, r represents the compressor cylinder radius, and h represents the oil level height in the compressor.

[0079] Figure 5A Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the oil level in the normal working state of a horizontal compressor, Figure 5B Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the oil level in the rotating working state of a horizontal compressor, Figure 5A and Figure 5B are side views of a horizontal compressor, and the circle represents the compressor cylinder. Since the total amount of lubricating oil in the compressor is constant, the oil level height in the rotating state is equal to the oil level height in the normal working state, and the height is still h. The vertical distance between the center of the compressor cylinder and the oil level is r - h, and the distance d between the top end of the oil suction pump and the oil level in the vertical direction is (r - h) / cos β.

[0080] The size relationship between the length L of the oil suction pump and d is determined. If L > d, the inclination angle of the compressor does not need to be adjusted; if L ≤ d, the inclination angle of the compressor needs to be adjusted. Specifically, the motor is started to move the compressor (for reference Figure 2 ) until the angle between the oil suction pump of the compressor and the vertical direction is β (equivalent to the oil suction pump being inclined by β), so that the oil suction pump is perpendicular to the inclined oil level, and the oil suction hole at the bottom of the oil suction pump is kept below the oil level to prevent the lubricating oil from being unable to be sucked.
