Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of refrigeration equipment, and in particular to a scroll compressor. Background Art

[0002] Scroll compressors are widely used in refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pumps and other fields due to their high efficiency, small size, light weight and smooth operation.

[0003] Specifically, the main structure of the scroll compressor includes a scroll assembly for compressing refrigerant and a motor for driving the compression mechanism. The motor generates a lot of heat during operation, and the heat of the motor needs to be taken away by the inhaled refrigerant, thereby reducing the temperature of the motor and extending the life of the motor.

[0004] Among them, since the lower coil of the motor is far away from the air intake, it is more difficult to cool. An existing technical route is to force the airflow into the lower cooling coil, then return to the upper coil through the air gap between the motor stator and rotor, and finally enter the compression chamber. However, since the air gap between the motor stator and rotor and the cross-sectional area of ​​the stator cut edge are very small, the refrigerant vapor will have a large power loss when passing through these smaller cross-sectional areas, which will increase the suction resistance of the scroll compressor and reduce the energy efficiency of the scroll compressor.

[0005] Another technical route is to force part or all of the air to enter the lower coil of the motor, and then use the pipeline to bypass the air gap and merge at the upper coil. This solution has a good motor cooling effect, but it is difficult to manufacture and has high costs. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present disclosure provides a scroll compressor.

[0007] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a scroll compressor, comprising:

[0011] a scroll assembly, wherein a compression chamber for compressing refrigerant gas is formed in the scroll assembly and configured to be controlled by the motor to compress the refrigerant gas;

[0012] In which, an air outlet gap is arranged between the stator and the rotor and / or between the stator and the inner shell, the area between the motor and the scroll assembly in the inner shell is an upper chamber, and an upper air inlet is opened on the upper chamber; the temperature of the refrigerant gas entering from the air inlet is lower than the temperature of the motor, and the refrigerant gas entering from the air inlet is configured to enter the compression chamber partially from the upper air inlet and partially from the air outlet gap to absorb heat from the motor.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the area of ​​the motor in the inner shell away from the scroll assembly is a lower chamber, and a lower air vent is opened in the lower chamber, and the lower air vent includes a lower air inlet hole and a lower air outlet hole, and the refrigerant gas entering from the air inlet is configured to at least partially enter the lower air inlet hole; the lower air outlet hole is connected to the upper air inlet hole through the gap between the inner shell and the outer shell.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the motor further includes an upper wire package and a lower wire package, the upper wire package is located in the upper chamber, the lower wire package is located in the lower chamber, the refrigerant gas in the upper chamber is configured to cool the upper wire package, the refrigerant gas in the upper chamber includes refrigerant gas entering the upper chamber from the air inlet through the lower chamber and the air outlet gap, refrigerant gas entering the upper chamber from the air inlet through the upper air inlet hole, and refrigerant gas entering the upper chamber from the air inlet through the lower chamber, the lower air vent and the upper air inlet hole, and the refrigerant gas in the lower chamber is configured to cool the lower wire package.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, an air guide portion is further included, which is arranged on the inner shell or the outer shell, and one end of the air guide portion is connected to the lower air inlet hole, and the opening of the other end is opposite to the outlet of the air inlet.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the air guide portion is disposed on the inner shell, the inlet of the air guide portion is opposite to the opening of the outer shell, and the distance between the outer contour of the air guide portion and the inner side surface of the outer shell is 2 to 15 mm.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the refrigerant gas entering from the air inlet is configured to enter the lower air inlet hole entirely.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, an air guide portion is further included, and the air guide portion is configured to be connected to the air inlet and the lower air inlet hole at both ends respectively.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the area of ​​each of the upper air inlet holes is configured to be smaller than the sum of the areas of the lower air outlet holes.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the number of the upper air inlet holes is greater than the number of the lower air outlet holes, and the area of ​​each of the upper air inlet holes is smaller than the area of ​​the lower air outlet holes.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the upper air inlet holes and the lower air vent holes are configured to be evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the inner shell.

[0023] Among them, since the air outlet gap is located between the stator and the rotor and / or between the stator and the inner shell, and the temperature of the refrigerant gas is lower than the temperature of the motor, the refrigerant gas can cool the motor when passing through the air outlet gap, thereby effectively dissipating the heat on the motor, reducing the temperature of the motor, and thus extending the service life of the motor.

[0024] Moreover, since only a part of the refrigerant gas passes through the steam outlet gap, the rest of the refrigerant gas enters the upper chamber from the upper air inlet holes on the upper chamber. In this way, the amount of refrigerant gas passing through the steam outlet gap is relatively small, which can achieve the effect of cooling the motor without causing a lot of power loss. It can achieve a balance between cooling the motor and reducing the suction loss, thereby effectively improving the energy efficiency of the compressor and improving the user experience.

[0025] Moreover, compared with the prior art, the scroll compressor disclosed in the present invention has a simple air guide structure, low manufacturing difficulty and relatively low processing cost.

[0041] In this article, "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish each other, and do not indicate the importance and order, or the premise of each other's existence.

[0042] In this document, “equal”, “same”, etc. are not strictly limited in a mathematical and / or geometric sense, but also include errors that can be understood by those skilled in the art and are allowed in manufacturing or use.

[0043] Unless otherwise stated, the numerical ranges herein include not only the entire range within its two endpoints but also include several sub-ranges contained therein.

[0044] The present disclosure provides a scroll compressor, which comprises at least an outer shell, an inner shell, a motor and a scroll assembly; wherein the outer shell is provided with an air inlet; the inner shell is provided in the outer shell; the motor is provided in the inner shell and comprises a stator and a rotor provided in the stator; a compression chamber for compressing refrigerant gas is formed in the scroll assembly and is configured to be controlled by the motor to compress the refrigerant gas;

[0045] Among them, an air outlet gap is arranged between the stator and the rotor and / or between the stator and the inner shell, the area between the motor and the scroll assembly in the inner shell is the upper chamber, and an upper air inlet is opened on the upper chamber; the temperature of the refrigerant gas entering from the air inlet is lower than the temperature of the motor, and the refrigerant gas entering from the air inlet is configured to enter the compression chamber partially from the upper air inlet and partially from the air outlet gap to absorb the heat on the motor.

[0046] During the operation of the scroll compressor disclosed herein, the refrigerant gas will enter the outer shell from the air inlet, and then part of the refrigerant gas will enter the upper chamber from the upper air inlet hole, and part of the refrigerant gas will enter the upper chamber from the steam outlet gap, and then the refrigerant gas in the upper chamber will enter the compression chamber of the scroll assembly, be compressed, and then be discharged from the scroll compressor.

[0047] Among them, since the air outlet gap is located between the stator and the rotor and / or between the stator and the inner shell, and the temperature of the refrigerant gas is lower than the temperature of the motor, the refrigerant gas can cool the motor when passing through the air outlet gap, so that the heat on the motor can be effectively discharged, the temperature of the motor can be reduced, and the service life of the motor can be extended. Moreover, since only part of the refrigerant gas passes through the steam outlet gap, the remaining refrigerant gas enters the upper chamber from between the upper air inlet holes on the upper chamber. In this way, the amount of refrigerant gas passing through the steam outlet gap is relatively small, which can achieve the effect of cooling the motor without causing a large power loss. It can achieve a balance between cooling the motor and reducing the suction loss, thereby effectively improving the energy efficiency of the compressor and improving the user experience. Moreover, compared with the prior art, the air guide structure of the scroll compressor disclosed in the present invention is simple, the manufacturing difficulty is small, and the processing cost is relatively low.

[0048] For ease of understanding, refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the specific structure and working principle of the scroll compressor disclosed in the present invention are explained in detail in combination with an embodiment.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present disclosure provides a scroll compressor, which includes at least an outer shell 1, an inner shell 2, a motor 3 and a scroll assembly 4.

[0050] Among them, the housing 1 is provided with an air inlet 11. It can be understood that, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer shell 1 is also provided with an outlet 12 for the compressed refrigerant gas to be discharged from the scroll compressor. The inner shell 2 is arranged in the outer shell 1 and is used to install various structures required by the scroll compressor.

[0051] The motor 3 is disposed in the inner shell 2 and includes a stator 31 and a rotor 32 disposed in the stator 31. It can be understood that the motor 3 can also include an upper wire package 33 and a lower wire package 34, and the upper wire package 33 and the lower wire package 34 are used to pass current to drive the rotor 32 to rotate relative to the stator 31.

[0052] A compression chamber 41 for compressing refrigerant gas is formed in the scroll assembly 4, and the scroll assembly 4 is configured to be controlled by the motor 3 to compress the refrigerant gas. Specifically, a rotating shaft 35 is provided in the rotor 32, and the scroll assembly 4 may include a movable scroll member 42 and a fixed scroll member 43 provided in the compression chamber 41, the movable scroll member 42 is connected to the rotating shaft 35 through an eccentric shaft, and the rotating shaft 35 can drive the movable scroll member 42 to rotate and translate relative to the fixed scroll member 43.

[0053] The profiles of the movable scroll 42 and the fixed scroll 43 are both spiral. The movable scroll 42 is installed eccentrically relative to the fixed scroll 43 and they are in contact on several straight lines in the axial direction. Therefore, a series of crescent-shaped spaces, i.e., elementary volumes, are formed between the movable scroll 42 and the fixed scroll 43. When the movable scroll 42 rotates with the center of the fixed scroll 43 as the center and performs a non-rotating rotational translation at a certain rotation radius, the outer crescent-shaped space will continuously move toward the center. At this time, the refrigerant gas is gradually pushed toward the center space, and its volume is continuously reduced while the pressure is continuously increased until it is connected with the center exhaust hole and discharged from the exhaust port on the housing 1.

[0054] The area between the motor 3 and the scroll assembly 4 in the inner shell 2 is the upper chamber 21. An air outlet gap 23 is provided between the stator 31 and the rotor 32 and / or between the stator 31 and the inner shell 2. The air outlet gap 23 and the upper chamber 21 are interconnected, so that the refrigerant gas can enter the upper chamber 21 from the air outlet gap 23.

[0055] Specifically, since the rotor 32 rotates relative to the stator 31 during the operation of the motor 3, a gap must be reserved between the stator 31 and the rotor 32, and the gap can be used as the gas outlet gap 23. When the stator 31 is installed on the inner side of the inner shell 2, it can be tightly fitted with the inner side of the inner shell 2, or a partial gap can be left. When a gap that runs vertically between the stator 31 and the inner side of the inner shell 2 is left, the gap can also be used as the steam outlet gap.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, an upper air inlet 24 is opened on the upper chamber 21; the temperature of the refrigerant gas entering from the air inlet 11 is lower than the temperature of the motor 3, and the refrigerant gas entering from the air inlet 11 is configured to partially enter the compression chamber 41 from the upper air inlet 24 and partially enter the compression chamber 41 from the air outlet gap 23 to absorb the heat on the motor 3.

[0057] During the operation of the scroll compressor disclosed herein, the refrigerant gas will enter the outer shell 1 from the air inlet 11, and then part of the refrigerant gas will enter the upper chamber 21 from the upper air inlet hole 24, and part of the refrigerant gas will enter the upper chamber 21 from the steam outlet gap, and then the refrigerant gas in the upper chamber 21 will enter the compression chamber 41 of the scroll assembly 4, be compressed, and then be discharged from the scroll compressor.

[0058] Among them, since the air outlet gap 23 is located between the stator 31 and the rotor 32 and / or between the stator 31 and the inner shell 2, and the temperature of the refrigerant gas is lower than the temperature of the motor 3, the refrigerant gas can cool the motor 3 when passing through the air outlet gap 23, thereby effectively dissipating the heat on the motor 3, reducing the temperature of the motor 3, and thereby extending the service life of the motor 3.

[0059] Moreover, since only part of the refrigerant gas passes through the steam outlet gap, the rest of the refrigerant gas enters the upper chamber 21 from between the upper air inlet holes 24 on the upper chamber 21. In this way, the amount of refrigerant gas passing through the steam outlet gap is relatively small, which can achieve the effect of cooling the motor 3 without causing a large power loss, and can achieve a balance between cooling the motor and reducing the suction loss, thereby effectively improving the energy efficiency of the compressor and improving the user's experience. Moreover, compared with the prior art, the scroll compressor disclosed in the present invention has a simple air guide structure, low manufacturing difficulty, and relatively low processing cost.

[0060] It is understandable that if Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the scroll compressor of the present disclosure further includes a frame 5, which is disposed between the motor 3 and the scroll assembly 4 and is configured to support the scroll assembly 4, and an air inlet passage is disposed on the frame 5, and the refrigerant gas is configured to enter the compression chamber 41 through the air inlet passage. During the operation of the scroll compressor of the present disclosure, the refrigerant gas entering the upper chamber 21 then enters the compression chamber 41 of the scroll assembly 4 through the air inlet passage on the frame 5.

[0061] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the area on the side of the motor 3 in the inner shell 2 away from the scroll assembly 4 is a lower chamber 22, and a lower air vent 25 is opened on the lower chamber 22. The lower air vent 25 includes a lower air inlet 251 and a lower air outlet 252. The refrigerant gas entering from the air inlet 11 is configured to at least partially enter the lower air inlet 251; the lower air outlet 252 is connected to the upper air inlet 24 through the gap between the inner shell 2 and the outer shell 1.

[0062] During the operation of the scroll compressor disclosed herein, at least part of the refrigerant gas entering from the air inlet 11 enters the lower air inlet hole 251, and then enters the lower chamber 22, and then part of the refrigerant gas in the lower chamber 22 flows from the air outlet gap 23 to the upper chamber 21, and part of the refrigerant gas flows out from the lower air outlet hole 252 and then flows from the gap between the inner shell 2 and the outer shell 1 to the upper chamber 21.

[0063] Among them, the up and down in the upper chamber 21 and the lower chamber 22 in the present disclosure only refer to the directions in the figure, and do not represent the actual installation direction of the scroll compressor. The same applies to other structures, which will not be repeated here.

[0064] In this way, the scroll compressor disclosed in the present invention can allow part of the refrigerant gas to enter the lower chamber 22 and then be diverted in the lower chamber 22, with part of it flowing into the air outlet gap 23 and part of it flowing out from the lower air outlet hole 252 of the lower chamber 22. In this way, the amount of refrigerant gas flowing into the air outlet gap can be guaranteed, thereby ensuring that the motor 3 can be fully cooled, and avoiding the situation where the motor 3 is overheated or even burned; and because the cross-sectional area of ​​the air outlet gap 23 is small, when a large amount of refrigerant gas enters the lower chamber 22, the excess refrigerant gas can flow out from the lower air outlet hole 252 and flow from the gap between the inner shell 2 and the outer shell 1 to the upper chamber 21, thereby reducing the power loss of the refrigerant gas when it flows from the air outlet gap 23 and reducing the suction resistance of the scroll compressor.

[0065] like Figure 2As shown, it can be understood that the upper wire package 33 is located in the upper chamber 21, and the lower wire package 34 is located in the lower chamber 22. Therefore, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the refrigerant gas in the upper chamber 21 is configured to cool the upper wire package 33, and the refrigerant gas in the upper chamber 21 includes the refrigerant gas entering the upper chamber 21 from the air inlet 11 through the lower chamber 22 and the air outlet gap 23, the refrigerant gas entering the upper chamber 21 from the air inlet 11 through the upper air inlet hole 24, and the refrigerant gas entering the upper chamber 21 from the air inlet 11 through the lower chamber 22, the lower air vent 25 and the upper air inlet hole 24; the refrigerant gas in the lower chamber 22 is configured to cool the lower wire package 34.

[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, the refrigerant gas in the upper chamber 21 comes from two paths, one path comes from the air outlet gap 23, and the other path comes from the upper air inlet 24. The refrigerant gas from the upper air inlet 24 can be divided into two parts, one part directly enters the upper air inlet 24 from the air inlet 11, and the other part enters the lower chamber 22 from the air inlet 11, and then flows out from the lower air vent 25 to the gap between the inner shell 2 and the outer shell 1, and enters the lower chamber 22 from the upper air inlet 24.

[0067] Since at least part of the refrigerant gas can enter the lower chamber 22 to cool the lower wire package 34, and all the refrigerant gas will enter the upper chamber 21 to cool the upper wire package 33, and then flow to the compression chamber 41, there will be no situation where part of the refrigerant gas fails to cool the motor 3. In this way, although the refrigerant gas that cools the lower wire package 34 is only part of the refrigerant gas that enters from the air inlet 11, the temperature is relatively low, and the lower wire package 34 can be effectively cooled; and after all the refrigerant gas enters the upper chamber 21, the upper wire package 33 can also be effectively cooled. In this way, the scroll compressor disclosed in the present invention can avoid uneven cooling between the upper wire package 33 and the lower wire package 34 to a certain extent, prevent the local temperature of a certain wire package from being too high, and thus effectively extend the service life of the motor 3.

[0068] It can be understood that in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the refrigerant gas entering from the air inlet 11 is configured to partially enter the lower air inlet hole 251, and partially flow directly from the lower air outlet hole 252 and the upper air inlet hole 24 to the upper chamber 21 through the gap between the inner shell 2 and the outer shell 1. By controlling the amount of refrigerant gas entering the lower air inlet hole 251, the lower line package 34 can be effectively cooled to prevent the lower line package 34 from overheating.

[0069] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the refrigerant gas entering from the air inlet 11 is configured to enter the lower air inlet hole 251. During the operation of the scroll compressor of the present disclosure, the refrigerant gas entering from the air inlet 11 enters the lower air inlet hole 251, and then enters the lower chamber 22, and then part of the refrigerant gas in the lower chamber 22 flows from the air outlet gap 23 to the upper chamber 21, and part of the refrigerant gas flows out from the lower air outlet hole 252 and then flows from the gap between the inner shell 2 and the outer shell 1 to the upper chamber 21.

[0070] In this way, the scroll compressor disclosed in the present invention can allow all the refrigerant gas to enter the lower chamber 22 and then be divided in the lower chamber 22, with part of it flowing into the air outlet gap 23 and part of it flowing out from the lower air outlet hole 252 of the lower chamber 22. In this way, the amount of refrigerant gas flowing into the air outlet gap can be guaranteed, thereby ensuring that the motor 3 can be fully cooled, and avoiding the situation where the motor 3 is overheated or even burned; and because the cross-sectional area of ​​the air outlet gap 23 is small, when a large amount of refrigerant gas enters the lower chamber 22, the excess refrigerant gas can flow out from the lower air outlet hole 252 and flow from the gap between the inner shell 2 and the outer shell 1 to the upper chamber 21, thereby reducing the power loss of the refrigerant gas when it flows from the air outlet gap 23 and reducing the suction resistance of the scroll compressor.

[0071] Since all the refrigerant gas can enter the lower chamber 22 to cool the lower coil 34, and then enter the upper chamber 21 to cool the upper coil 33 before flowing to the compression chamber 41, there will be no situation where part of the refrigerant gas fails to cool the motor 3. In this way, the scroll compressor disclosed in the present invention can also avoid uneven cooling between the upper coil 33 and the lower coil 34, prevent a certain coil from having a local temperature that is too high, and thus effectively extend the service life of the motor 3.

[0072] Specifically, in order to allow the refrigerant gas entering from the air inlet 11 to enter the lower air inlet hole 251 of the scroll member, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the scroll compressor of the present disclosure further includes an air guide portion 26, which is disposed on the inner shell 2, and one end of the air guide portion 26 is connected to the lower air inlet hole 251, and the opening of the other end is directly opposite to the outlet of the air inlet 11. Since the opening of the air guide portion 26 is directly opposite to the outlet of the air inlet 11, when the refrigerant gas flows into the outer shell 1 from the air inlet 11, part of the refrigerant gas will enter the opening of the air guide portion 26, and thus flow from the lower air inlet hole 251 to the lower chamber 22 along the air guide portion 26. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, one end of the air guide portion 26 is connected to the lower air inlet hole 251, and the opening of the other end is connected to the outlet of the air inlet 11, so that after the refrigerant gas flows into the outer shell 1 from the air inlet 11, part of the refrigerant gas will enter the opening of the air guide portion 26. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the air guide portion 26 may also be disposed on the housing 1 , with one end connected to the air inlet 11 and the other end connected to the lower air inlet hole 251 . The principle is similar and will not be repeated here.

[0073] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to allow more refrigerant gas to enter the opening of the air guide portion 26, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the diameter of the opening of the air guide portion 26 is greater than the diameter of the air inlet 11. Since the diameter of the opening of the air guide portion 26 is greater than the diameter of the outlet of the air inlet 11, and the opening of the air guide portion 26 is directly opposite to the outlet of the air inlet 11, in this way, during the operation of the scroll compressor of the present disclosure, most of the refrigerant gas flowing out of the outlet of the air inlet 11 will enter the air guide portion 26, thereby ensuring that the refrigerant gas entering the lower chamber 22 can effectively cool the lower line package 34, avoiding the overheating of the lower line package 34.

[0074] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the air guide portion 26 is arranged on the inner shell 2, the inlet of the air guide portion 26 is directly opposite to the opening of the outer shell 1, and the distance between the outer contour of the air guide portion 26 and the inner side surface of the outer shell 1 is 2 to 15 mm. When the distance between the outer contour of the air guide portion 26 and the inner side surface of the outer shell 1 is greater than or equal to 2 mm, the assembly accuracy between the air guide portion 26 and the outer shell 1 can be effectively guaranteed, and the contact between the outer contour of the air guide portion 26 and the inner side surface of the outer shell 1 can be prevented; when the distance between the outer contour of the air guide portion 26 and the inner side surface of the outer shell 1 is less than or equal to 15 mm, it can be ensured that a large amount of refrigerant gas will not enter the upper air inlet 24 from the gap between the air guide portion 26 and the inner side surface of the outer shell 1, thereby ensuring the cooling effect on the motor 3.

[0075] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the distance between the outer contour of the air guide portion 26 and the inner side surface of the housing 1 is 5 mm, which can effectively improve the cooling effect on the motor 3 and ensure the assembly accuracy between the air guide portion 26 and the housing 1.

[0076] In the above embodiment, the distance between the outer contour of the air guide portion 26 and the inner side surface of the shell 1 is 5 mm, while in other embodiments, the distance between the outer contour of the air guide portion 26 and the inner side surface of the shell 1 can also be adjusted as needed, which is not limited here.

[0077] In order to make all the refrigerant gas entering from the air inlet 11 enter the lower air inlet hole 251 of the scroll member, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the scroll compressor of the present disclosure further includes an air guide 26, and the air guide 26 is configured to be connected to the air inlet 11 and the lower air inlet hole 251 at both ends. In this way, during the operation of the scroll compressor of the present disclosure, the refrigerant gas entering from the air inlet 11 can enter the lower air inlet hole 251 along the air guide 26, and then enter the lower chamber 22, and then part of the refrigerant gas in the lower chamber 22 flows from the air outlet gap 23 to the upper chamber 21, and part of the refrigerant gas flows out from the lower air outlet hole 252 and then flows from the gap between the inner shell 2 and the outer shell 1 to the upper chamber 21.

[0078] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the area of ​​each upper air inlet hole 24 is configured to be smaller than the sum of the areas of the lower air outlet holes 252. By making the area of ​​each upper air inlet hole 24 smaller than the sum of the areas of the lower air outlet holes 252, the amount of refrigerant gas flowing to the air outlet gap 23 can meet the requirements, so that the motor 3 can be effectively cooled and the temperature of the motor 3 can be effectively reduced.

[0079] It can be understood that the area ratio between the upper air inlet hole 24 and the lower air outlet hole 252 can ensure that the amount of refrigerant gas flowing to the air outlet gap 23 is neither too much nor too little, so that the motor 3 can be effectively cooled without causing excessive power loss of the refrigerant gas.

[0080] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the number of the upper air inlet holes 24 is greater than the number of the lower air outlet holes 252, and the area of ​​each upper air inlet hole 24 is smaller than the area of ​​the lower air outlet hole 252. By making the number of the upper air inlet holes 24 greater than the number of the lower air outlet holes 252, and the area of ​​each upper air inlet hole 24 smaller than the area of ​​the lower air outlet hole 252, the refrigerant gas flowing out of the lower air outlet holes 252 can enter the upper chamber 21 through multiple upper air inlet holes 24, so that the refrigerant gas is distributed more evenly when flowing in the gap between the inner shell 2 and the outer shell 1.

[0081] Specifically, in the scroll compressor disclosed in the present invention, the cooling effect of the motor 3 and the suction loss of the scroll compressor can be balanced by adjusting the area and number of the upper air inlet holes 24. The structure is simple and the processing cost is relatively low.

[0082] Further, such as Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, each upper air inlet hole 24 and each lower air vent hole 25 are configured to be evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the inner shell 2. Since each upper air inlet hole 24 and each lower air vent hole 25 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the inner shell 2, the distance from each lower air outlet hole 252 to the upper upper air inlet hole 24 can be relatively close, and the amount of refrigerant gas at each circumferential position of the inner shell 2 can be relatively balanced, and there will not be an excessive amount of gas on one side.

[0083] The embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above, and the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The choice of terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, practical applications, or technical improvements in the marketplace, or to enable other persons of ordinary skill in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein. The scope of the present disclosure is defined by the appended claims.
