[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 6 In this embodiment, the compressor includes a housing 11, a cylinder 12, a liquid receiver, and a return gas and oil pipe 33. The liquid receiver is integrally disposed below the housing 11, and the return gas and oil pipe 33 is located inside the housing 11. The liquid receiver has a liquid storage chamber 31, which is connected to the cylinder 12 through the return gas and oil pipe 33. An oil cap 41 is connected to the lower bearing 21 and located inside the liquid storage chamber 31. The cylinder 12 and the lower bearing 21 are also provided with a first return gas channel 121 and a second return gas channel 211, respectively. The liquid storage chamber 31 is connected to the cylinder 12 through the first return gas channel 121 and the second return gas channel 211, so that the refrigerant in the liquid storage chamber 31 can smoothly enter the cylinder 12 for compression.
[0047] Understandably, by placing the liquid receiver on the lower side of the compressor body, thus integrating it into the compressor's axial direction, the radial dimension of the compressor is greatly shortened, making the compressor structure more compact and facilitating compressor miniaturization. Integrating the liquid receiver with the compressor body means that any vibration in either the liquid receiver or the compressor body will cause the other object to vibrate, thereby reducing the compressor's vibration amplitude and noise, and also contributing to compressor miniaturization. Furthermore, by integrating the liquid receiver with the compressor body, only the exposed outer casing needs rust prevention treatment, reducing the area requiring rust prevention and lowering the production costs associated with rust prevention operations.
[0048] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the compressor also includes a lower bearing 21 and an oil cap 41. The cylinder 12 is provided with a first oil return channel 122. The upper part of the cylinder 12 and the housing 11 encloses a high-pressure chamber 17. The lower bearing 21 is connected to the cylinder 12. The lower bearing 21 is provided with a second oil return channel 212. The oil cap 41 is connected to the lower part of the lower bearing 21. The oil cap 41 is provided with an oil storage chamber 42. The oil storage chamber 42 is connected to the high-pressure chamber 17 through the first oil return channel 122 and the second oil return channel 212.
[0049] Meanwhile, since the oil cap 41 is also installed inside the liquid storage chamber 31, the return gas and oil pipe 33 needs to be installed in the gap between the wall of the liquid storage chamber 31 and the oil cap 41. This results in the return gas and oil pipe 33 being far from the first return gas passage 121 on the cylinder 12. If the return gas and oil pipe 33 were directly connected to the first return gas passage 121, the first return gas passage 121 would need to have a large bending angle. If the bending angle of the first return gas passage 121 is too large, it will cause the refrigerant to generate a lot of noise when flowing in the first return gas passage 121, thereby reducing the user experience. Therefore, the return gas and oil pipe 33 and the first return gas passage 121 are far apart. The transition between channels 121 is achieved through the lower bearing 21. By opening a second return air channel 211 inclined on the lower bearing 21, the bending angle of the first return air channel 121 is reduced, thereby reducing the noise generated when the refrigerant flows. Therefore, the lower bearing 21 needs to be set with a larger diameter to connect with the return air and oil pipe 33. If so, the lower bearing 21 will block the passage of the first return oil channel 122 on the cylinder 12 into the oil storage chamber 42. Therefore, this application needs to open a second return oil channel 212 on the lower bearing 21 so that the lubricating oil flowing back in the first return oil channel 122 on the cylinder 12 can fall smoothly into the oil storage chamber 42.
[0050] Therefore, in the technical solution of the present invention, a first oil return channel 122 is provided on the cylinder 12, a second oil return channel 212 is provided on the lower bearing 21, an oil cap 41 is located below the lower bearing 21, and an oil storage chamber 42 is provided inside the oil cap 41. The oil storage chamber 42 is connected to the high pressure chamber 17 in sequence through the second oil return channel 212 and the first oil return channel 122, so that the lubricating oil flowing back in the high pressure chamber 17 can flow smoothly into the oil storage chamber 42 in sequence through the first oil return channel 122 and the second oil return channel 212.
[0051] In this embodiment, the compressor further includes a connector. The oil cap 41 is provided with a flange. The flange, the lower bearing 21, and the cylinder 12 are each provided with at least one mounting hole 213. The oil cap 41, the lower bearing 21, and the cylinder 12 are fixedly connected by the connector and the mounting hole 213.
[0052] In one embodiment, the connecting member is a rivet or a screw. The flange, the lower bearing 21, and the mounting holes 213 on the cylinder 12 are arranged opposite to each other. The rivet or the screw passes through multiple mounting holes 213 in sequence to fix the oil cap 41, the lower bearing 21, and the cylinder 12 to each other. That is, a screw or a rivet passes through the flange of the oil cap 41, the lower bearing 21, and the three mounting holes 213 on the cylinder 12 at the same time to fix the three to each other. The number of screws or rivets is not limited. There can be only one or multiple screws.
[0053] In another embodiment, the connector includes a first rivet or a first screw and a second rivet or a second screw. The mounting hole 213 includes a first mounting hole 213 and a second mounting hole 213. The lower bearing 21 and the cylinder 12 are each provided with at least one first mounting hole 213. The flange and the lower bearing 21 are each provided with at least one second mounting hole 213. The cylinder 12 and the lower bearing 21 are fixedly connected by the cooperation of the first rivet or the first screw and the corresponding first mounting hole 213. The oil cap 41 and the lower bearing 21 are fixedly connected by the cooperation of the second rivet or the second screw and the corresponding second mounting hole 213.
[0054] Reference Figures 1 to 8Specifically, the compressor body also includes a crankshaft 14, which passes through the cylinder 12. The crankshaft 14 is provided with an oil inlet channel 145, and the oil storage chamber 42 is connected to the cylinder 12 through the oil inlet channel 145. Further, the crankshaft 14 includes a main shaft portion 141, an eccentric portion 142, and a secondary shaft portion 143 arranged sequentially. The outer wall surfaces of the main shaft portion 141, the eccentric portion 142, and the secondary shaft portion 143 are each provided with at least one... An oil inlet hole 144 is connected to the oil inlet channel 145, so that the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 42 enters the corresponding positions of the main shaft 141, eccentric part 142 and auxiliary shaft 143 through the oil inlet channel 145 and the oil inlet hole 144 respectively. This ensures that the three contact positions of the main shaft 141, eccentric part 142 and auxiliary shaft 143 have sufficient lubricating oil, thereby reducing friction, improving the service life of the compressor, and improving the energy consumption and reliability of the compressor.
[0055] Reference Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 The compressor also includes an oil inlet vane 15, which is installed in the oil inlet channel 145 and located near the oil cap 41. When the crankshaft 14 rotates, it will drive the oil inlet vane to rotate together, thereby guiding the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 42 to flow through the oil inlet channel 145 of the crankshaft 14 into the corresponding areas such as the main shaft 141, the eccentric part 142, and the auxiliary shaft 143. The principle of lubricating oil entering the crankshaft 14 from the oil storage chamber 42 is that centrifugal force is generated when the crankshaft 14 rotates, and the lubricating oil will be sucked into the oil inlet channel 145 under the action of centrifugal force.
[0056] Reference Figure 12 In one embodiment, the compressor further includes an oil pump housing 16, which is installed on one end of the secondary shaft portion 143 away from the eccentric portion 142. The oil pump housing 16 is located in the oil storage chamber 42, and the oil pump housing 16 makes it easier for the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 42 to enter the oil inlet channel 145 through the oil pump housing 16.
[0057] Reference Figure 13 In another embodiment, the secondary shaft portion 143 extends toward the oil reservoir 42 so that the secondary shaft portion 143 extends into the oil reservoir 42. By extending the secondary shaft portion 143, the lubricating oil in the oil reservoir 42 can more easily enter the oil inlet channel 145.
[0058] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10It should be noted that the crankshaft 14 is hollow, and although it runs through the entire crankshaft 14 and extends into the motor 13 from the top, the motor 13 does not require lubrication. The motor 13 consists of a stator and a rotor. The crankshaft 14 and the rotor are fixed together, and there is a gap between the rotor and the stator, so they do not contact each other and there is no friction, so no lubricating oil is needed. Secondly, the lubricating oil generally does not flow into the motor 13 through the top of the crankshaft 14, because the lubricating oil is carried up by the centrifugal force of the crankshaft 14 rotation and the agitation of the oiling blades. Depending on the position of the oiling blades, the lubricating oil cannot reach that high.
[0059] In this embodiment, multiple second oil return channels 212 are provided, and the multiple second oil return channels 212 are arranged along the circumference of the lower bearing 21. By providing multiple channels along the circumference of the lower bearing 21, the lubricating oil flowing back into the cylinder 12 can flow back through the corresponding oil return channels, and can flow back into the oil storage chamber 42 in a timely and sufficient manner, thereby improving the oil return efficiency.
[0060] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the second oil return channel 212 is T-shaped, or L-shaped, or straight. Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be arc-shaped, stepped, or other irregular shapes.
[0061] Specifically, the second oil return channel 212 includes a first oil passage 2121 and a second oil passage 2122. The first oil passage 2121 is located close to the cylinder 12, and the second oil passage 2122 is located away from the cylinder 12. The width of the first oil passage 2121 is greater than or equal to the width of the second oil passage 2122. By making the first oil passage 2121 larger than the second oil passage 2122, the lubricating oil returning from the cylinder 12 can fall into the first oil passage 2121 as quickly as possible, and then flow into the oil storage chamber through the second oil passage 2122. Within 42, the transition surface between the first oil passage 2121 and the second oil passage 2122 can be a plane or an inclined plane. If it is an inclined plane, it should be inclined downward from the outer wall of the first oil passage 2121 towards the center, so that the lubricating oil in the first oil passage 2121 can flow into the second oil passage 2122. Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be arranged in an arc shape, that is, the opening of the second oil return channel 212 towards the cylinder 12 is larger than the opening of the second oil return channel 212 towards the oil storage chamber 42, and the two openings are arc-shaped transitions.
[0062] Preferably, the total cross-sectional area of the plurality of second oil return channels 212 is S1, the total cross-sectional area of the oil inlet holes 144 is S2, the radius of the main shaft portion 141 is r1, the radius of the secondary shaft portion 143 is r2, r0 = max{r1, r2}, S1 ≥ 500r0S2, and the minimum value of S1 is 229.8 mm. 2 In one embodiment of this application, S1 = 432mm 2 Of course, in other embodiments, S1 can also be 430, 320, etc.
[0063] S1≥500r0S2 indicates that the oil return efficiency is greater than the oil extraction efficiency. Understandably, the oil return efficiency should be greater than the oil extraction efficiency. This ensures that the lubricating oil injected into the cylinder 12 from the oil reservoir 42 can return to the oil reservoir 42 promptly after one lubrication cycle, providing sufficient lubricating oil for the next lubrication cycle. If the oil return efficiency is less than the oil extraction efficiency, excessive lubricating oil will clog the lower part of the cylinder 12, preventing it from receiving sufficient lubricating oil for the next lubrication cycle. This also results in insufficient lubrication in the upper part of the cylinder 12, while the lower part receives excessive lubricating oil, leading to insufficient lubrication in certain areas of the cylinder 12 and reducing its service life. Furthermore, excessive lubricating oil in the cylinder 12 will cause more lubricating oil to mix into the high-pressure refrigerant during compression, thus reducing the refrigerant's cooling and heating efficiency.
[0064] It should be noted that after the lubricating oil is lubricated in the corresponding parts through the oil inlet channel 145 and the oil inlet hole 144, most of the lubricating oil liquefies after contacting the high-temperature motor 13 coil and rotor, and then flows back to the oil storage chamber 42 through the first oil return channel 122 and the second oil return channel 212, and repeats the lubrication process for the next time. However, a small amount of lubricating oil will mix with the refrigerant and enter the condenser through the exhaust pipe in the upper space of the motor 13 along with the high-pressure refrigerant, thereby participating in heat exchange. Finally, the refrigerant mixed with the high-pressure refrigerant will enter the liquid storage chamber 31.
[0065] Understandably, long-term reciprocating operation will cause the lubricating oil in the receiver to accumulate more and more. This will not only increase the lubricating oil content in the refrigerant and affect the refrigerant's cooling and heating efficiency, but also reduce the lubricating oil in the oil sump. Over time, this will lead to insufficient lubricating oil supply, resulting in insufficient lubrication inside cylinder 12, which in turn reduces the working efficiency of cylinder 12, reduces the compression efficiency of the compressor, and also reduces the service life of cylinder 12.
[0066] It should be noted that the term "gaseous refrigerant" in this invention should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be understood as a gaseous refrigerant containing very little oil, or it can be a relatively pure gaseous refrigerant. Similarly, the term "oil" in this invention should also be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be understood as a relatively pure lubricating oil, or it can be interpreted as lubricating oil containing a very small amount of gaseous refrigerant dissolved in it.
[0067] Therefore, to solve the above problems, in this embodiment, the compressor further includes a return gas and oil pipe 33. The return gas and oil pipe 33 is installed between the side wall of the liquid storage chamber 31 and the side wall of the oil cap 41. One end of the return gas and oil pipe 33 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 31, and the other end of the return gas and oil pipe 33 is connected to both the first return gas channel 121 and the second return gas channel 211. Through the return gas and oil pipe 33, the lubricating oil in the liquid storage chamber 31 can be returned to the cylinder 12. This is because when the compressor is running, the pressure near the air inlet of the cylinder 12 is very low, while the pressure in the liquid storage chamber is higher than that at the air inlet of the cylinder 12. The refrigerant flows near the air inlet of cylinder 12. Through the pressure difference and pulsation, the oil at the bottom of the receiver is pumped into the cylinder 12 through the return air and oil pipe 33, thereby lubricating the inside of cylinder 12. Most of the lubricating oil liquefies after contacting the high-temperature motor coil and rotor, and then flows back to the oil storage chamber 42 through the first return oil channel 122 and the second return oil channel 212. This ensures that the oil storage chamber 42 always has enough lubricating oil to lubricate the inside of cylinder 12, thereby improving the working efficiency of cylinder 12, which in turn improves the working efficiency of the compressor and also extends the service life of the compressor.
[0068] The return gas and oil pipe 33 can not only return oil, but also allow the refrigerant in the liquid storage chamber 31 to flow into the cylinder 12 for compression. Furthermore, the return gas and oil pipe 33 can be a single pipe, which can return both gas and oil. Alternatively, the return gas and oil pipe 33 can be divided into two pipes: a return gas pipe and a return oil pipe. Since the lubricating oil is liquid, most of it settles at the bottom of the liquid storage chamber. The return oil pipe in the return gas and oil pipe 33 extends into the bottom of the liquid storage chamber, thus allowing the return oil pipe to return oil. The return gas pipe only needs to not extend into the lubricating oil in the liquid storage chamber 31.
[0069] The second return gas passage 211 is inclined inward from bottom to top. Understandably, the oil cap 41 is installed in the middle of the liquid storage chamber 31. In order to reduce the size of the compressor and make the compressor miniaturized, the gap between the side wall of the liquid storage chamber 31 and the side wall of the oil cap 41 is small. At the same time, the cylinder 12 is installed in the middle of the bearing. Therefore, in order to facilitate the connection between the liquid storage chamber 31 and the cylinder 12, the second return gas passage 211 is inclined. This makes it easier to reduce the size of the compressor, and also makes the angle between the cylinder 12 and the bearing smaller, reducing the noise generated during the transmission of refrigerant in the first return gas passage 121 and the second return gas passage 211.
[0070] Of course, in other embodiments, a bend-shaped oil return channel can be provided in the second oil return channel 212. However, the angle of the bend should not be too large. For example, it should not be a right angle as much as possible. The bend should be set as arc-shaped as possible. This is because if the bend is a right angle when the refrigerant flows from the liquid storage chamber 31 into the cylinder 12, it will cause turbulence when the refrigerant flows, which will generate noise and reduce the user's experience.
[0071] Furthermore, the inner wall of the first return air channel 121 is arc-shaped. By arc-shaped inner wall of the first return air channel 121, the possibility of turbulence generated when the refrigerant flows from the second return air channel 211 into the first return air channel 121 is reduced, the noise generated in the first return air channel 121 is reduced, and the user experience is further improved.
[0072] Reference Figure 14 In one embodiment, the compressor further includes a suction pipe 32. The housing 1111 is provided with a suction hole. The suction pipe 32 is sealed to the suction hole. The suction pipe 32 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 31 through the suction hole. Through the suction pipe 32, the refrigerant in the evaporator flows into the liquid storage chamber 31, so that the high-pressure refrigerant discharged into the condenser can flow back into the liquid storage chamber 31 for further compression, thereby realizing the cooling and heating process.
[0073] Furthermore, during the operation of the compressor, the gaseous refrigerant entering the compressor may contain impurities such as dust and small particles. If impurities enter the compressor, it will not only affect the efficiency of gas compression, but also reduce the efficiency of the compressor. Therefore, in this embodiment, a filter is installed at the suction pipe 32. By setting the filter, the gaseous refrigerant can be filtered before entering the compressor body, reducing the content of impurities in the gaseous refrigerant, improving the compression efficiency of the compressor body, reducing the impact of impurities on the compressor body, and thus improving the life of the compressor body.
[0074] This invention also proposes a refrigeration device, which can be categorized into compression refrigeration devices, absorption refrigeration devices, vapor jet refrigeration devices, heat pump refrigeration devices, and electric heating refrigeration devices. The refrigeration device mainly consists of a compressor, expansion valve, evaporator, condenser, accessories, and piping. Examples include refrigerators and air conditioners. The refrigeration device in this application includes the aforementioned compressor and employs all the technical solutions of the above embodiments.
