Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of compressor technology, and more specifically, to a cylinder, a pump assembly, a compressor, and an air conditioning system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most air conditioning systems use inverter compressors to adjust capacity output according to load demand. This means that the compressor frequency is adjusted to regulate capacity output. When the load on the air conditioning system is too low, the compressor frequency needs to be continuously reduced.

[0003] However, due to the limitation of the compressor's minimum operating frequency, the minimum cooling capacity that the compressor can output is restricted. When the load of the air conditioning system is less than the minimum capacity that the compressor can output at its minimum operating frequency, the compressor will frequently start and stop, resulting in high power consumption. At the same time, when the compressor frequency is too low, both the compressor's volumetric efficiency and the motor efficiency are low, which leads to low energy efficiency of the compressor during low-frequency operation. Therefore, existing technologies typically use variable frequency variable capacity compressors to solve this problem.

[0004] The common method for changing the displacement of a variable displacement compressor is to insert a pin head into the pin slot of the variable displacement vane to lock the vane, thereby reducing the compressor's displacement. However, in pursuit of miniaturization and high efficiency, variable displacement compressors typically employ a flattened design with a large eccentricity. Excessive eccentricity in the variable displacement cylinder limits the design space for the variable displacement mechanism. The tail groove of the vane in the variable displacement cylinder is prone to deformation due to its low rigidity. Therefore, a raised structure is used in the tail groove of the cylinder vane to enhance its rigidity, while the corresponding concave tail groove of the vane avoids the raised structure of the cylinder vane tail groove. Because of the pin slot on the variable displacement vane, to enhance the rigidity of the vane tail on the pin slot side and prevent breakage, both the raised structure of the cylinder tail groove and the recess of the vane tail employ asymmetrical structures. However, the phenomenon of vane tail breakage still occurs.

[0005] In addition, the switching method of variable displacement compressors, which uses a pin head to insert into the pin slot of the variable displacement vane to hold the vane, has a long-term problem of single-cylinder switching. The pin head wears a flange into the vane pin slot. Due to the high-speed reciprocating motion of the vane, the flange can easily wear a relatively deep scratch on the end face of the first flange, which leads to increased power consumption of the compressor and even causes the vane to become unstable and generate noise.

[0035] Thus, by optimizing the cylinder structure, this invention solves the problem of scratches easily appearing on the first flange end face due to the flanged edge of the pin groove of the variable displacement vane. It also avoids the phenomenon that the tail of the variable displacement vane, during reciprocating motion, will collide with the edge of the pin hole due to being suspended and tilted at the pin hole. Furthermore, it avoids the formation of an impact arm between the lower end of the vane tail and the pin groove when the tail of the variable displacement vane collides with the cylinder vane tail groove. This also prevents fatigue fracture caused by repeated impacts between the tail of the variable displacement vane and the cylinder vane tail groove. This invention solves the problem of easy damage to the vane in the variable displacement cylinder of the existing variable displacement compressor, improves the reliability of the tail of the variable displacement vane, improves the reliability of the cylinder, and enables the variable displacement compressor to maintain a high-efficiency and stable operating state for a long time.

This solves the problem that the end face of the first flange is easily scratched, improves the reliability of the variable capacity mechanism of the compressor, and enables the variable capacity compressor to maintain efficient and stable operation for a long time.

[0041] like Figure 6 As shown, the width of the clearance groove 54 in the direction parallel to the rotation axis of the crankshaft 4 is H, and the depth of the insertion groove 53 in the direction parallel to the rotation axis of the crankshaft 4 is h, wherein -0.2h ≤ (Hh) ≤ 0.2h, to avoid forming a large suspended impact arm, solving the problem that the tail of the variable displacement vane and the cylinder vane tail groove are prone to fatigue fracture due to repeated impacts, and improving the reliability of the tail of the variable displacement vane; and / or the insertion groove 53 in the direction parallel to the rotation axis of the crankshaft 4 is H.

Thus, by optimizing the cylinder structure, this invention solves the problem of scratches easily appearing on the first flange end face due to the flanged edge of the pin groove of the variable displacement vane. It also avoids the phenomenon that the tail of the variable displacement vane, during reciprocating motion, will collide with the edge of the pin hole due to being suspended and tilted at the pin hole. Furthermore, it avoids the formation of an impact arm between the lower end of the vane tail and the pin groove when the tail of the variable displacement vane collides with the cylinder vane tail groove. This also prevents fatigue fracture caused by repeated impacts between the tail of the variable displacement vane and the cylinder vane tail groove. This invention solves the problem of easy damage to the vane in the variable displacement cylinder of the existing variable displacement compressor, improves the reliability of the tail of the variable displacement vane, improves the reliability of the cylinder, and enables the variable displacement compressor to maintain a high-efficiency and stable operating state for a long time.
