Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of compressor equipment technology, and more specifically, to a scroll compressor. Background Technology
[0002] Scroll compressors are high-efficiency, low-noise, and stable-operating positive displacement compressors. As the third generation of automotive compressors, they are widely used in automotive air conditioning systems. In recent years, with the development of new energy vehicles, the requirements for noise, vibration, and durability of automotive air conditioning scroll compressors have further increased.
[0003] During operation, scroll compressors require lubricating oil to lubricate the friction pairs within the compressor, thereby reducing noise generated during operation. In existing technology, an oil separator and an oil reservoir are installed within the scroll compressor. The oil separator separates the refrigerant and lubricating oil mixture discharged from the compressor's compression chamber. The oil reservoir is located below the oil separator and stores the lubricating oil separated and discharged by the oil separator. Simultaneously, a throttling oil return structure is installed between the oil reservoir and the scroll compressor's oil return channel. An oil return hole at the bottom of the oil reservoir connects to the inlet of the throttling oil return structure, allowing the lubricating oil in the oil reservoir to ultimately return to the scroll compressor's oil return channel via the throttling oil return structure, lubricating the friction pairs within the scroll compressor and forming a circulating oil circuit.
[0004] Currently, compressors used in new energy vehicles generally employ horizontal compressors (i.e., scroll compressors) with a low-pressure chamber structure. These compressors have a high oil discharge rate, and compared to vertical high-pressure chamber structures, the exhaust chamber of a horizontal compressor occupies less space. However, during exhaust, the refrigerant and refrigeration oil carried by the horizontal compressor cannot be effectively separated and deposited in the exhaust chamber before being carried out of the compressor. To address this issue, existing technologies typically install a cyclone oil-gas separator at the exhaust outlet to effectively separate some lubricating oil during exhaust. However, as the compressor's operating frequency increases, under high-speed and high-flow exhaust conditions, the lubricating oil separated by the cyclone oil-gas separator is agitated by the high-speed gas and carried out of the compressor. The proportion of lubricating oil carried away is greater than the proportion separated by the cyclone oil-gas separator, thus reducing the separation of lubricating oil from gas, the deposition of lubricating oil, and the compressor's oil storage effect.
[0005] When the lubricating oil inside the compressor is discharged from the compressor system or when the lubricating oil return circulation is poor, the compressor is prone to malfunction due to insufficient lubricating oil. In actual tests, the lower part of the compressor is often lighter than the upper part, resulting in less and less oil remaining in the compressor over a long period of operation, which in turn adversely affects the reliability of long-term operation.
[0006] In summary, existing scroll compressors have problems such as high oil carryover rate during discharge and large oil discharge volume at high speeds. Furthermore, existing scroll compressors have weak oil storage capacity, poor oil return, and are prone to adverse problems such as poor bearing lubrication during long-term operation.

[0060] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention or its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0061] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a scroll compressor, comprising:
[0062] The compressor housing 10 has a main mounting cavity 11 and an oil distribution cavity 12 inside;
[0063] The vortex compression structure 20 has an outlet 21 located within the main mounting cavity 11.
[0064] The oil-separating and air-guiding structure 30 is disposed within the main mounting cavity 11. The oil-separating and air-guiding structure 30 is used to separate the refrigerant from the lubricating oil. The oil-separating and air-guiding structure 30 has an oil-separating and air-guiding chamber 31 inside, and the inlet and outlet of the oil-separating and air-guiding chamber 31 are connected. The end of the oil-separating and air-guiding structure 30 away from the scroll compression structure 20 is a connecting air-guiding end, which is inserted into the inner wall of the main mounting cavity 11. The connecting air-guiding end has a connecting cavity 32 inside, one end of which is connected to the main mounting cavity 11, and the other end of which is connected to the oil-separating cavity 12. The oil-separating and air-guiding chamber 31 is connected to the oil-separating cavity 12 through the main mounting cavity 11 and the connecting cavity 32.
[0065] This invention effectively separates the refrigerant and lubricating oil discharged from the outlet 21 of the scroll compressor structure 20 by setting an oil-separating and air-guiding structure 30. By setting the oil-separating and air-guiding chamber 31 to connect to the oil-separating chamber 12 through the main mounting chamber 11 and the connecting chamber 32 in sequence, it realizes multi-chamber graded oil separation, thereby effectively reducing the oil carryover rate and oil discharge volume during the exhaust of the scroll compressor. While effectively avoiding lubricating oil waste, it improves the reliability of the scroll compressor during long-term high-speed operation. By setting the oil-separating and air-guiding chamber 31 and the connecting chamber 32 to the main mounting chamber 11 respectively, the lubricating oil separated in the oil-separating and air-guiding chamber 31 and the connecting chamber 32 can be effectively stored and circulated, thereby improving the oil storage capacity of the scroll compressor. In addition, it also provides the necessary structural support for the subsequent oil return of the scroll compressor, so that the scroll compressor structure 20 can be lubricated efficiently and stably.
[0066] It should be noted that the vortex compression structure 20 of the present invention is used to compress the refrigerant entering from the air inlet and blow out a mixture containing refrigerant and lubricating oil from the air outlet 21; wherein, the mixture blown out from the air outlet 21 passes through the oil separator 31 and the oil separator 70 in sequence, and the separated lubricating oil can be returned to lubricate the vortex compression structure 20.
[0067] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the compressor housing 10 also has a positioning through hole 13 inside, which connects the oil distribution chamber 12 and the main mounting chamber 11; the connecting air guide end extends into the positioning through hole 13 and is limited and matched with the inner wall of the positioning through hole 13. By setting the positioning through hole 13, the oil distribution chamber 12 and the main mounting chamber 11 are effectively connected, and the oil distribution air guide structure 30 is reliably fixed.
[0068] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the oil-separating and air-guiding structure 30 includes a multi-stage oil separator 33 and an air guide 34. The air guide 34 fixes the multi-stage oil separator 33 onto the scroll compression structure 20; the connecting air guide end is located on the air guide 34. This arrangement makes the oil-separating and air-guiding structure 30 easy to install and process, while also ensuring the operational reliability of the oil-separating and air-guiding structure 30.
[0069] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the end of the air guide 34 furthest from the connecting air guide end is the connecting insertion end; the interior of the connecting insertion end has an air inlet chamber 35, which is connected to the air outlet 21; the multi-stage oil separator 33 has an oil-gas separation chamber 331, and the connecting insertion end is inserted into the oil-gas separation chamber 331; the oil-gas separation chamber 331 is connected to both the air inlet chamber 35 and the main mounting chamber 11; the air inlet chamber 35 and the oil-gas separation chamber 331 together form the oil-separating air guide chamber 31; wherein, the mixed material blown out of the air outlet 21 passes through the air inlet chamber 35 and the oil-gas separation chamber 331 in sequence and enters the main mounting chamber 11. By setting the air inlet chamber 35 and the oil-gas separation chamber 331 together to form the oil-separating air guide chamber 31, the refrigerant and lubricating oil are separated in multiple stages within the oil-separating air guide chamber 31, and the separated lubricating oil can be effectively deposited and collected from the inner walls of the air inlet chamber 35 and the oil-gas separation chamber 331.
[0070] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the connecting insertion end passes through the oil-gas separation chamber 331 and is threadedly connected to the vortex compression structure 20; the outer periphery of the air guide 34 has a positioning shoulder 341, one end of the multi-stage oil separator 33 abuts against the vortex compression structure 20, and the other end of the multi-stage oil separator 33 abuts against the positioning shoulder 341. This arrangement ensures reliable fixation of the multi-stage oil separator 33 and the air guide 34, thereby guaranteeing the operational reliability of the oil-gas separation and air guiding structure 30.
[0071] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the oil-gas separation chamber 331 includes a first oil-gas separation chamber 3311, a second oil-gas separation chamber 3312, and a third oil-gas separation chamber 3313 connected in sequence. The first oil-gas separation chamber 3311 is connected to the air intake chamber 35 and to the main mounting chamber 11 through the first oil passage 3314; the second oil-gas separation chamber 3312 is connected to the main mounting chamber 11 through the second oil passage 3315; and the third oil-gas separation chamber 3313 is connected to the main mounting chamber 11. By setting the oil-gas separation chamber 331 to include the first oil-gas separation chamber 3311, the second oil-gas separation chamber 3312, and the third oil-gas separation chamber 3313 connected in sequence, the refrigerant and lubricating oil can be separated in multiple stages within the oil-gas separation chamber 331, and the separated lubricating oil can be effectively deposited and collected from the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 331.
[0072] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 331 has an insertion hole 3316, through which the connecting insertion end passes. The first oil-gas separation chamber 3311 is connected to the second oil-gas separation chamber 3312 through the insertion hole 3316. The second oil-gas separation chamber 3312 is connected to the third oil-gas separation chamber 3313 through a circumferential air passage 38, which is arranged around the circumference of the multi-stage oil separator 33. By setting the circumferential air passage 38, centrifugal force is effectively utilized during the process of the mixture entering the third oil-gas separation chamber 3313 (circle 5) from the second oil-gas separation chamber 3312 (circle 3). Under the action of centrifugal force, the lubricating oil and the refrigerant will achieve spiral separation within the circumferential air passage 38, thereby improving the oil-gas separation effect.
[0073] It should be noted that: such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the arrows and circled numbers indicate the movement sequence of the mixture, that is, the mixture of refrigerant and lubricating oil passes through the intake chamber 35 (circle 1), the first oil-gas separation chamber 3311 (circle 2), the second oil-gas separation chamber 3312 (circle 3), the circumferential air passage 38 (circle 4), and the third oil-gas separation chamber 3313 (circle 5) in sequence for oil-gas separation.
[0074] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the multi-stage oil separator 33 includes a cylindrical body 3317 and an end cap 3318 disposed on the cylindrical body 3317. A first oil passage 3314 penetrates the cylindrical body 3317; a second oil passage 3315 sequentially penetrates the cylindrical body 3317 and the end cap 3318 (e.g., ...). Figure 5 As shown, this is the technical solution of Embodiment 3; or, there is a gap between the cylinder portion 3317 and the end cap portion 3318 to form a second oil passage 3315 (as shown). Figure 2As shown in the figure, this is the technical solution of Embodiment 2; the cross-sectional area of the second oil passage 3315 is not greater than a circular area with a diameter of 2mm. By setting the cross-sectional area of the second oil passage 3315 to be no greater than a circular area with a diameter of 2mm, it is not only convenient to precisely process the second oil passage 3315, but also ensures that the fluid velocity and fluid pressure in the second oil passage 3315 meet the actual use requirements by controlling the inner diameter.
[0075] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting insertion end also has a first air passage 36 inside, and the air inlet chamber 35 is connected to the oil-gas separation chamber 331 through the first air passage 36; the connecting air guide end also has a second air passage 37 inside, and the connecting chamber 32 is connected to the main installation chamber 11 through the second air passage 37; wherein, the cross-sectional areas of the first air passage 36, the air inlet chamber 35, the second air passage 37 and the connecting chamber 32 are all larger than the cross-sectional area of the air outlet 21. By setting the cross-sectional areas of the first air passage 36, the air inlet chamber 35, the second air passage 37 and the connecting chamber 32 to be larger than the cross-sectional area of the air outlet 21, the efficient and reliable flow of the mixture within the oil-gas separation and air guide structure 30 is ensured.
[0076] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the scroll compressor also includes a plug 40 for sealing the positioning through-hole 13, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the sleeve 40 has a frustum-shaped annular structure with a through hole 41 inside. The connecting end of the air guide 34 passes through the through hole 41 and abuts against the inner wall of the through hole 41. The annular conical surface 42 on the outer circumference of the frustum-shaped annular structure fits against the inner wall of the positioning through hole 13. This design ensures the sealing effect of the sleeve 40 and also makes the sleeve 40 easy to process and install.
[0077] It should be noted that the design of the annular conical surface 42 on the outer periphery of the frustum structure enables the sleeve 40 to have anti-vibration deformation function, thereby reducing the vibration of gas acting on the connection between the gas guide 34 and the positioning through hole 13.
[0078] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the circumferential section connecting the air guide end has a stepped shoulder 342, which abuts against the inner wall of the through hole 41; the stepped shoulder 342 abuts against one end of the sleeve 40 to axially limit the sleeve 40; the sleeve 40 is made of elastic material and is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the positioning through hole 13. By setting the interference fit between the sleeve 40 and the inner wall of the positioning through hole 13, the sealing effect of the sleeve 40 on the positioning through hole 13 is further improved.
[0079] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the scroll compressor also includes a high-low pressure separator 50, which is located at one end of the scroll compressor structure 20 near the outlet 21 and within the main mounting cavity 11. The oil distribution and air guiding structure 30 and the high-low pressure separator 50 divide the main mounting cavity 11 from top to bottom into a high-pressure zone 111, a first oil accumulation zone 112, and a first oil collection zone 113, wherein the high-pressure zone 111, the first oil accumulation zone 112, and the first oil collection zone 113 are connected in sequence. The first oil accumulation zone 112 is located between the oil distribution and air guiding structure 30 and the high-low pressure separator 50. The first oil collection zone 113 and the first oil accumulation zone 112 are used to collect lubricating oil, and the high-pressure zone 111 is connected to the oil distribution and air guiding cavity 31 and the oil distribution cavity 12, respectively. By setting up a high-pressure zone 111, a first oil accumulation zone 112, and a first oil collection zone 113, the mixed substances can be collected and managed in separate zones, and the lubricating oil can be effectively collected in the first oil accumulation zone 112 and the first oil collection zone 113 to facilitate the subsequent circulation of the lubricating oil.
[0080] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the high-low pressure separator 50 has an oil collection channel 51, which connects the first oil accumulation area 112 and the first oil collection area 113. Lubricating oil flows from the first oil accumulation area 112 into the first oil collection area 113 under gravity through the oil collection channel 51. By providing the oil collection channel 51, it is ensured that the lubricating oil in the first oil accumulation area 112 can flow from the first oil accumulation area 112 into the first oil collection area 113 under gravity through the oil collection channel 51.
[0081] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the high-low pressure separator 50 includes a sealing body 52 and a separator 53. The sealing body 52 is connected to one end of the vortex compression structure 20 near the outlet 21 and is sealed to the inner wall of the main mounting cavity 11. One axial end of the separator 53 is connected to the sealing body 52, and the other axial end of the separator 53 abuts against the inner wall of the main mounting cavity 11. An oil collection channel 51 passes through the separator 53. A first oil accumulation area 112 is formed between the separator 53 and the oil distribution and air guiding structure 30, and a first oil collection area 113 is formed below the separator 53. This configuration simplifies the structure of the high-low pressure separator 50, ensures reliable operation, and also creates a first oil accumulation area 112 and a first oil collection area 113 arranged sequentially in the direction of gravity.
[0082] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the outer periphery of the sealing body 52 has a sealing ring groove 521. The scroll compressor also includes a sealing ring 60, which is disposed within the sealing ring groove 521 and engages with the inner wall of the sealing ring groove 521. The sealing body 52 and the inner wall of the main mounting cavity 11 are sealed together by the sealing ring 60. This arrangement ensures the sealing performance of the high and low pressure separator 50 with respect to the main mounting cavity 11, thereby preventing refrigerant and lubricating oil leakage.
[0083] Optionally, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in Embodiment 4 of the present invention, the sealing body 52 is a cylindrical structure, the partition body 53 is disposed inside the cylindrical structure, the lower part of the first oil collecting area 113 is the inner wall of the cylindrical structure, and the inner wall of the cylindrical structure has a through fourth oil passage 522, which is connected to the lower part of the first oil collecting area 113; the outer periphery of the cylindrical structure has a spiral oil passage 523, which is connected to the fourth oil passage 522; the compressor housing 10 has a return oil channel 14, which is connected to the spiral oil passage 523; wherein, the lubricating oil in the first oil collecting area 113 enters the interior of the scroll compressor structure 20 in sequence through the fourth oil passage 522, the spiral oil passage 523, and the return oil channel 14. By setting the spiral oil passage 523 to be connected to the fourth oil passage 522, it is ensured that the lubricating oil can smoothly enter the return oil channel 14. At the same time, the spiral oil passage 523 also realizes the effective regulation of the lubricating oil pressure.
[0084] It should be noted that when lubricating oil with a certain pressure enters the scroll compressor structure 20, it can not only lubricate the scroll compressor structure 20, but also effectively increase the pressure of the back pressure chamber 81, thereby ensuring the seal between the moving scroll and the stationary scroll inside the scroll compressor structure 20.
[0085] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the scroll compressor also includes an oil separator 70 disposed within the oil separation chamber 12, which is used to separate the refrigerant from the lubricating oil. A second oil collection area 121 is formed at the bottom of the oil separation chamber 12, which is used to collect the lubricating oil separated by the oil separator 70. The second oil collection area 121 is connected to the first oil collection area 113. By providing the oil separator 70, the oil-gas separation effect is further improved.
[0086] It should be noted that in this invention, the lubricating oil in the second oil collection area 121 enters the interior of the vortex compression structure 20 through the first oil collection area 113, the fourth oil passage 522, the spiral oil passage 523, and the return oil passage 14 in sequence to lubricate the vortex compression structure 20.
[0087] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the sealing body 52 is a disc structure, the partition body 53 is disposed in the middle of the disc structure, and the lower part of the first oil collecting area 113 is the inner wall of the compressor housing 10 (i.e., the bottom wall of the total mounting cavity 11). The compressor housing 10 has an oil return channel 14, which communicates with the lower part of the first oil collecting area 113. The lubricating oil in the first oil collecting area 113 enters the interior of the scroll compressor structure 20 through the oil return channel 14. This arrangement ensures that the lubricating oil in the first oil collecting area 113 can smoothly enter the oil return channel 14.
[0088] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the oil-gas separation and air-guiding structure 30 includes a multi-stage oil separator 33 and an air guide 34. The multi-stage oil separator 33 has an oil-gas separation chamber 331, and the air guide 34 has an air inlet chamber 35, which is connected to the air outlet 21. The oil-gas separation chamber 331 is connected to both the air inlet chamber 35 and the main mounting chamber 11. The air inlet chamber 35 and the oil-gas separation chamber 331 together form the oil-gas separation and air-guiding chamber 31. The oil-gas separation chamber 331 includes a first oil-gas separation chamber 3311, a second oil-gas separation chamber 3312, and a third oil-gas separation chamber 3313 connected in sequence. The first oil-gas separation chamber 3311 is connected to the air inlet chamber 35 and is connected to the first oil accumulation area 112 through a first oil passage 3314. The second oil-gas separation chamber 3312 is connected to the first oil accumulation area 112 through a second oil passage 3315. The third oil-gas separation chamber 3313 is connected to the high-pressure area 111. This is the configuration. This allows the first oil-gas separation chamber 3311, the second oil-gas separation chamber 3312, and the third oil-gas separation chamber 3313 to be connected to their respective areas, facilitating the zoned management of lubricating oil and mixed substances within the three chambers.
[0089] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a second oil accumulation area 33111 for containing lubricating oil is formed at the bottom of the first oil-gas separation chamber 3311, and the second oil accumulation area 33111 is connected to the first oil accumulation area 112 through the first oil passage 3314; a third oil accumulation area 33121 for containing lubricating oil is formed at the bottom of the second oil-gas separation chamber 3312, and the third oil accumulation area 33121 is connected to the first oil accumulation area 112 through the second oil passage 3315. By setting the second oil accumulation area 33111 and the third oil accumulation area 33121, the lubricating oil collected in the first oil-gas separation chamber 3311 and the second oil-gas separation chamber 3312 is effectively contained and circulated.
[0090] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the compressor housing 10 has an oil return channel 14, which connects the first oil collection area 113 and the interior of the scroll compressor structure. This arrangement allows the lubricating oil in the first oil collection area 113 to enter the interior of the scroll compressor structure 20 through the oil return channel 14 to lubricate the scroll compressor structure 20.
[0091] It should be noted that: in one specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the scroll compressor also includes a throttling pressure reducer 110, which is disposed in the oil return passage 14 to regulate the flow and pressure in the oil return passage 14.
[0092] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the scroll compressor also includes an oil separator 70 disposed in the oil separator chamber 12, which is used to separate the refrigerant from the lubricating oil; the compressor housing 10 has an oil return channel 14, which is used to connect the oil separator chamber 12, the main mounting chamber 11 and the interior of the scroll compressor structure; the lubricating oil separated by the oil separator chamber 31 and the oil separator 70 is concentrated at the bottom of the main mounting chamber 11 and / or the oil separator chamber 12, and enters the interior of the scroll compressor structure through the oil return channel 14.
[0093] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a second oil collecting area 121 is formed at the bottom of the oil separating chamber 12. The second oil collecting area 121 is used to collect the lubricating oil separated by the oil separator 70; the second oil collecting area 121 is connected to the return oil channel 14. By setting the second oil collecting area 121, the lubricating oil collected in the oil separating chamber 12 can be effectively contained and circulated.
[0094] It is worth noting that when the scroll compressor is running, the mixture is discharged from the outlet 21 and first enters the inlet chamber 35. It stays briefly in the inlet chamber 35 to suppress exhaust noise and divert the flow. The mixture flows sequentially through the first oil-gas separation chamber 3311, the second oil-gas separation chamber 3312, and the third oil-gas separation chamber 3313 for oil-gas separation. It then enters the oil separator 12 through the main mounting chamber 11 and the connecting chamber 32. The oil separator 70 (e.g., a cyclone oil separator) performs oil-gas separation on the mixture again, thereby reducing the amount of lubricating oil discharged, improving the reliability of the scroll compressor, enhancing the heat exchange performance and overall energy efficiency of the scroll compressor, and reducing exhaust noise.
[0095] like Figure 1As shown, the scroll compressor also includes: a bracket 80, mounted on the compressor housing 10 and sealed to the housing 10; a bearing 90, mounted inside the bracket 80 and fitted with the inner wall of the bracket 80; wherein, a back pressure chamber 81 is provided between the bracket 80 and the scroll compression structure 20, and a bracket oil passage 82 is provided inside the bracket 80, which is connected to the oil return passage 14 and the back pressure chamber 81 respectively; a drive unit 100, the shaft 101 of which passes through the bearing 90; the shaft 101 is connected to the scroll compression structure 20, and the drive unit 100 is used to drive the scroll compression structure 20 to compress the refrigerant entering from the inlet. By providing the back pressure chamber 81, lubricating oil can flow to the bearing 90 for lubrication and be effectively stored in the back pressure chamber 81.
[0096] like Figure 1 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the support oil passage 82 includes an oil inlet passage 821, multiple radial lubrication oil passages 822, a surrounding oil passage 823, and an oil outlet passage 824. The two ends of the oil inlet passage 821 are connected to the back pressure chamber 81 and the return oil channel 14, respectively. The radial lubrication oil passages 822 are connected to the back pressure chamber 81 and the surrounding oil passages 823, respectively. The multiple radial lubrication oil passages 822 are spaced apart circumferentially along the bearing 90, and are used to guide lubricating oil into the bearing 90. The surrounding oil passages 823 are arranged circumferentially around the bearing 90 and are connected to the oil outlet passage 824. The oil outlet passage 824 is connected to the interior of the drive unit 100 to deliver lubricating oil into the drive unit 100. This arrangement allows the support oil passage 82 to efficiently lubricate the bearing 90 through the multiple radial lubrication oil passages 822, thereby improving the reliability of the scroll compressor during long-term high-speed operation.
[0097] like Figure 1 As shown, the scroll compressor also includes a throttling pressure reducer 110, which is installed in the oil outlet passage 824 to regulate the flow and pressure in the oil outlet passage 824.
[0098] In summary, this invention provides a scroll compressor. By setting up an oil-separating and air-guiding structure 30, the invention effectively separates the refrigerant and lubricating oil discharged from the outlet 21 of the scroll compressor structure 20. By setting the oil-separating and air-guiding chamber 31 to connect sequentially through the main mounting chamber 11 and the connecting chamber 32 to the oil-separating chamber 12, multi-chamber graded oil separation is achieved, thereby effectively reducing the oil carryover rate and oil discharge volume during the scroll compressor's discharge. This effectively avoids lubricating oil waste and improves the reliability of the scroll compressor during long-term high-speed operation. By setting the oil-separating and air-guiding chamber 31 and the connecting chamber 32 to connect to the main mounting chamber 11 respectively, the lubricating oil separated in the oil-separating and air-guiding chamber 31 and the connecting chamber 32 can be effectively stored and circulated, thereby improving the oil storage capacity of the scroll compressor. Furthermore, it also provides the necessary structural support for the subsequent oil return of the scroll compressor, enabling the scroll compressor structure 20 to be lubricated efficiently and stably.
