In order to prevent oil mist in the return flow cavity for a long time, the oil is returned to the low-pressure cavity through the oil return port, and then the liquid flows back to the inside of the compressor body through the oil inlet and the inclined plate, so that the risk of direct compression of the low-temperature suction gas with liquid vortex is reduced and controllable after gas-liquid separation;

[0018] (2) The refrigerant flowing from the suction port is discharged in the cavity, and the airflow is turned to form a buffer cavity to weaken the airflow, thereby optimizing the suction pulsation;

[0028] The refrigerant enters the low-pressure cavity 6 through the air inlet pipe 8. Since the side surface of the low-pressure cavity 6 is provided with a plurality of exhaust ports 10 communicating with the circulation cavity 4, the side surface where the exhaust ports 10 are located is a plane, and the air inlet pipe 8 and the plane where the exhaust ports 10 are located are arranged vertically, the refrigerant will directly impact on the side surface where the exhaust ports 10 are located, and the refrigerant enters the circulation cavity 4 through the exhaust ports 10. The liquid in the refrigerant falls under its own gravity, and the exhaust ports 10 located on the plane ensure vertical contact with the air inlet pipe 8, weakening the impact force of the airflow.

[0029] See Figure 2As shown, the top of the inner shell 3 is provided with a circulation port 11 communicating with the reflux cavity 7, the side of the inner shell 3 corresponding to the circulation port 11 is a horizontal plane, further weakening the impact force of the gas flow, the side of the reflux cavity 7 corresponding to the compressor body 1 is provided with a reflux port 12, the height of the reflux port 12 is higher than the height of the partition plate 5, and the higher height of the reflux port 12 can avoid that the liquid on the partition plate 5 enters the compressor body 1 through the reflux port 12.

[0030] The gas after passing through the low-pressure cavity 6 and the circulation cavity 4 is in the form of gaseous refrigerant, enters the side of the compressor body 1 through the exhaust port 10 and the reflux port 12, and after gas-liquid separation, the risk of fracture caused by low-temperature suction gas with liquid vortex direct compression is controllable, and the refrigerant flowing into the suction port is discharged through the cavity, and the gas flow is turned to form a buffer cavity to weaken the gas flow, thereby optimizing the suction pulsation.

[0031] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the low-pressure cavity 6 is provided with an oil leakage port 9 communicating with the circulation cavity 4, the oil leakage port 9 is located at the lowest side of the inner cavity, facilitating the outflow of the liquid and avoiding residual accumulation, the side of the partition plate 5 is provided with a plurality of oil return ports 13 for communicating the reflux cavity 7 and the low-pressure cavity 6, the partition plate 5 is an arc plate, and the oil return ports 13 are located at the lowest part of the partition plate 5, facilitating the outflow of the liquid and avoiding residual accumulation, the inner bottom of the circulation cavity 4 is provided with an inclined plate 14 opposite to the oil leakage port 9, one end of the inclined plate 14 away from the compressor body 1 is higher than the other end close to the compressor body 1, and the compressor body 1 is provided with an oil inlet port 15 on one end inside the circulation cavity 4, the oil inlet port 15 corresponds to the inclined plate 14, and the lower edge of the oil inlet port 15 and the upper side of the inclined plate 14 are in contact with each other.

[0032] The liquid in the refrigerant enters the inclined plate 14 through the oil leakage port 9 under the action of its own gravity, and the height difference of the upper end surface of the inclined plate 14 pushes the liquid to flow into the oil inlet port 15, thereby realizing the circulation of the liquid and ensuring the normal circulation of the compressor body oil and sufficient oil amount.
