Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field related to pneumatic components, and more specifically, relates to a reciprocating compressor with an active flow distribution valve. Background Art

[0002] Reciprocating compressors are widely used in economy and construction, especially in industrial fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, and power, and have become essential key equipment.

[0003] Traditional reciprocating compressors adopt a crank - connecting rod structure. Each piston and cylinder body are equipped with independent suction valves and discharge valves. The suction valves and discharge valves include valve seats, valve plates, and springs. When the piston moves, the volume of the cylinder cavity changes, resulting in a pressure difference across the suction valve or discharge valve, thereby achieving the passive opening or passive closing of the suction valve or discharge valve.

[0004] The timely opening of the suction valve and the timely closing of the discharge valve have a significant impact on the discharge volume and efficiency of the reciprocating compressor. Limited by the working principle, the response frequencies of traditional passive suction valves and discharge valves are low, and the problems of late opening of the suction valve and late closing of the discharge valve are relatively prominent, resulting in difficulties in increasing the rotational speed of the reciprocating compressor and achieving miniaturization and light weight. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above - mentioned defects or improvement requirements of the prior art, the present invention provides a reciprocating compressor with an active flow distribution valve. The compressor can effectively solve the problems of late opening of the suction valve, late closing of the discharge valve, low response frequency, and difficulty in increasing the rotational speed of traditional reciprocating compressors, achieve high - speed operation of the reciprocating compressor, and realize miniaturization and light weight while increasing the discharge volume of the reciprocating compressor.

In this way, the present invention can realize the active opening of the intake valve and the active closing of the exhaust valve, complete the normal intake and exhaust actions, avoid the phenomenon of delayed opening of the traditional intake valve and delayed closing of the exhaust valve, and thus is beneficial to realizing the high-speed operation of the reciprocating compression, and realizing small size and light weight while increasing the exhaust volume of the reciprocating compressor.

[0030] The valve seat 51 is located between the first cylinder and the second cylinder and is provided with a receiving hole which penetrates through the valve seat 51 and is used for receiving the flow-through plate 6. On one side of the valve seat 51, a second through hole, a third connection hole, a fourth connection hole and a second communication hole are provided at intervals. The second through hole, the third connection hole and the fourth connection hole are all in communication with the receiving hole. A second groove is provided on the inner wall of the receiving hole adjacent to the second communication hole, and the second groove communicates the second through hole and the receiving hole.

A first groove is provided on the inner wall of the receiving hole adjacent to the first communication hole, and the first groove communicates the first communication hole and the receiving hole and is used for receiving the first exhaust valve plate 72.

[0033] The air inlet is in a T shape and includes a communicating air inlet main hole, a first air inlet branch hole and a second air inlet branch hole. The central axis of the first air inlet branch hole coincides with the central axis of the second air inlet branch hole and coincides with the central axis of the second through hole. The first air inlet branch hole is in communication with the first through hole, and the second air inlet branch hole is in communication with the second through hole.

[0034] The exhaust port is T-shaped and includes a communicating exhaust main hole, a first exhaust branch hole, and a second exhaust branch hole.

On the opposite sides of the flow-through plate 6, a third groove and a fourth groove are respectively formed.

The third groove and the first groove are arranged in a dislocation manner and partially opposite to each other, and the fourth groove and the second groove are partially opposite to each other.

[0035] The first internal flow channel includes a first horizontal section, a first communication section, and a second horizontal section that are connected in sequence.

The second internal flow channel includes a third horizontal section, a second communication section, and a fourth horizontal section that are connected in sequence. The third horizontal section communicates with the fourth connection hole, and the fourth horizontal section communicates with the first connection hole.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 , at the end of the first connection hole facing the inner cavity 32A of the first cylinder, a first isolation diaphragm 82 is provided. At the end of the third connection hole facing the inner cavity 31A of the second cylinder, a second isolation diaphragm 81 is provided. The second intake valve plate 41 is located in the inner cavity 31A of the second cylinder. One end of it is fixed on the valve seat 51 and this end is located between the third connection hole and the fourth connection hole, and the other end is movably arranged. When the second intake valve plate 41 is closed, it covers the third connection hole and the second through hole, so that the intake port is separated from the inner cavity 31A of the second cylinder, and the first internal flow channel is separated from the inner cavity 31A of the second cylinder.

[0037] The first intake valve plate 42 is arranged in the inner cavity 32A of the first cylinder. One end of it is fixed on the valve seat 51 and this end is located between the first connection hole and the second connection hole. When the first intake valve plate 42 is closed, it covers the first connection hole and the first through hole, so that the intake port is separated from the inner cavity 32A of the first cylinder, and the second internal flow channel is separated from the inner cavity 32A of the first cylinder.

[0038] One end of the second exhaust valve plate 71 is fixed in the area of the bottom surface of the fourth groove far from the second communication hole, and the other end is movable. When the second exhaust valve plate 71 is closed, it covers the second communication hole, so that the inner cavity 31A of the second cylinder is separated from the exhaust port. One end of the first exhaust valve plate 72 is fixed in the area of the bottom surface of the first groove far from the first communication hole, and the other end is movable. When the first exhaust valve plate 72 is closed, it covers the first communication hole, so that the inner wall of the first cylinder is separated from the exhaust port.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first intake valve sheet 42, the second intake valve sheet 41, the first exhaust valve sheet 72, and the second exhaust valve sheet 71 are all sheet-shaped and are all made of spring sheets with good elasticity. The first piston 22 and the second piston 21 move synchronously, that is, their relative positions remain unchanged. When one piston compresses air, the other piston intakes air. The gas in the working chamber of the cylinder block can directly act on the isolation diaphragm, causing the corresponding isolation diaphragm to undergo elastic deformation, so that the corresponding intake valve sheet actively opens. The isolation diaphragm is fixed on the valve seat 51 by welding to achieve the sealing of the gas at both ends and only undergoes elastic deformation under the action of the pressure difference.

[0040] When the second linear motor 11 drives the second piston 21 to move rightward in the inner cavity 31A of the second cylinder formed by the second cylinder block, the first linear motor 12 drives the first piston 22 to move rightward in the inner cavity 32A of the first cylinder formed by the first cylinder block. At this time, the volume of the inner cavity 31A of the second cylinder decreases, the volume of the inner cavity 32A of the first cylinder increases, the high-pressure gas in the inner cavity 31A of the second cylinder lifts one end of the second exhaust valve sheet 71, so that the inner cavity 31A of the second cylinder is communicated with the exhaust port, and the high-pressure gas enters the exhaust port and acts on the first exhaust valve sheet 72 to achieve the timely closing of the second exhaust valve sheet 71. At the same time, the high-pressure gas in the inner cavity 31A of the second cylinder acts on the first isolation diaphragm 82 through the fourth connection hole, the second internal flow channel, and the first connection hole in sequence, causing the first isolation diaphragm 82 to undergo elastic deformation to push open the first intake valve sheet 42, achieving the active opening of the first intake valve sheet 42, so that the low-pressure gas enters the inner cavity 32A of the first cylinder from the intake port and the first communication hole, realizing the intake action of the first piston 22.

[0041] When the first linear motor 12 drives the first piston 22 to move leftward in the inner cavity 32A of the first cylinder, the second linear motor 11 drives the second piston 21 to move leftward in the inner cavity 31A of the second cylinder. At this time, the volume of the inner cavity 31A of the second cylinder increases, the volume of the inner cavity 32A of the first cylinder decreases, the high-pressure gas in the inner cavity 32A of the first cylinder enters the exhaust port through the first exhaust valve sheet 72 and acts on the second exhaust valve sheet 71 to achieve the timely closing of the second exhaust valve sheet 71. At the same time, the gas in the inner cavity 32A of the first cylinder acts on the second isolation diaphragm 81 through the first internal flow channel, causing the second isolation diaphragm 81 to undergo elastic deformation to push open the second intake valve sheet 41, achieving the active opening of the second intake valve sheet 41, so that the low-pressure gas enters the inner cavity 31A of the second cylinder through the second intake valve sheet 41, realizing the intake action of the second piston 21.

[0042] Compared with the traditional passive flow distribution valve, the suction valve plate of the present invention can be actively opened, and the exhaust valve plate can be actively closed, effectively solving the problem of lag in opening or closing, which is beneficial to improving the volumetric efficiency of the compressor. At the same time, the influence of the rotational speed on the active flow distribution valve composed of the flow passage plate 6, the suction valve plate, the exhaust valve plate, the isolation diaphragm and the valve seat 51 of the present invention is significantly weakened, which is beneficial to realizing the high-speed operation of the reciprocating compressor, and realizing miniaturization and light weight while increasing the exhaust volume of the reciprocating compressor.

[0043] Those skilled in the art can easily understand that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
