Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of air compressors, and in particular to a centrifugal compressor with high-efficiency heat energy recovery. Background Art

[0002] Air compressors are used in many industrial environments to provide compressed air. In the metal welding industry, air compressors are needed to provide compressed air as a welding gas source. When the air compressor is running, a large amount of heat is generated, most of which exists in the circulating lubricating oil. The heat in the circulating lubricating oil is usually absorbed and utilized by the air compressor heat recovery device.

[0003] In existing compressors, such as Chinese patent application CN116292195A, a heat exchange mechanism is optimized and arranged, including a wind energy heat recovery mechanism that uses wind power to take away heat and a water energy heat recovery mechanism that uses water flow to take away heat. The outer surface of the water energy heat recovery mechanism is wrapped with an outer frame that plays a protective role to avoid the risk of scalding when the surface temperature of the water energy heat recovery mechanism is high, thereby improving the safety of use. In addition, wind energy and water energy are used in two forms to respectively perform heat recovery treatment, and water energy is used to absorb the heat in the air compressor oil multiple times, so as to more effectively cool and recover the heat energy in the air compressor oil, and make the temperature in the air compressor oil uniform, so as to avoid the air compressor oil temperature on one side of the heat dissipation point being lower than the temperature at the center position, thereby ensuring the use effect of the air compressor oil.

[0004] However, there are still the following problems: during the heat recovery process of the compressor, the heat exchange time is short. If the heat generation rate of the compressor is greater than the speed of air cooling and water cooling, the temperature of the compressor will become higher and higher, which may easily cause compressor operation failure.

This improves the efficiency of heat energy recovery, ensures efficient heat dissipation of the air compressor, and improves the stability of the operation of the air compressor.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a centrifugal compressor with high efficiency heat recovery, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The centrifugal compressor with high-efficiency heat energy recovery starts the compressor, and the air compressor draws external air into the air compressor cylinder. The air compressor cylinder uses centrifugal compressed gas to press the air into the air storage tank. At the same time, when the compressor is working, the heat generated in the air compressor cylinder will be heat-exchanged to the water in the heat exchange cylinder.

[0019] 2. The centrifugal compressor with high efficiency heat recovery can store water after heating by setting a water storage tank, so as to transport the hot water to other places where hot water is needed, so that the hot water can be utilized, the use cost of the compressor can be reduced, and the waste of water resources can be avoided.

[0020] 3. The centrifugal compressor with high-efficiency heat energy recovery, through the setting of the air chamber and the closed door, enables the air to enter the connecting pipe at the same time as the air is pressed into the air tank. The air in the connecting pipe presses the sliding pipe to move, and the sliding pipe drives the closed door to move in the air chamber, thereby opening the closed door to seal the two ends of the air chamber. At the same time, the closed door presses the telescopic rod to contract and the spring to contract, so that the air chamber will open the passage for compressed air to be used when the pressure in the air tank is greater than the overall elastic force of the spring. When the air pressure in the air tank is small and not greater than the elastic force of the spring, the closed door closes the air chamber, thereby ensuring that the air pressure in the air tank always remains stable for use, avoiding problems caused by low air pressure, causing other equipment to malfunction, and ensuring the stability and safety of compressed air supply.

[0041] Furthermore, a stirring blade 33 is rotatably mounted in the heat exchange tube 32. The stirring blade 33 is a three-blade fan-shaped structure.

When the valve 39 detects that the water in the heat exchange cylinder 32 reaches a certain temperature, that is, when the temperature difference between the water temperature in the heat exchange cylinder 32 and the lubricating oil temperature in the air compressor cylinder 22 becomes smaller and smaller, resulting in a serious reduction in heat exchange efficiency, the temperature control valve 39 opens to discharge the hot water in the heat exchange cylinder 32, and the hot water flows into the water storage tank 310 along the water supply pipe 311. The hot water in the water storage tank 310 is used in other places where hot water is used.

At this time, the temperature control valve 39 is in a closed state, and the second motor 34 is started. The second motor 34 drives the first traction roller 35 to rotate, the first traction roller 35 drives the toothed belt 37 to rotate, the toothed belt 37 drives the second traction roller 36 to rotate, and the second traction roller 36 drives the stirring blade 33 to rotate, so that the stirring blade 33 mixes and stirs the water in the heat exchange cylinder 32, so that the whole water in the heat exchange cylinder 32 is evenly heat-exchanged with the lubricating oil in the air compressor cylinder 22 by the heat conducting member 31, and then the temperature control valve 39 is turned on. When the valve 39 detects that the water in the heat exchange cylinder 32 reaches a certain temperature, that is, when the temperature difference between the water temperature in the heat exchange cylinder 32 and the lubricating oil temperature in the air compressor cylinder 22 becomes smaller and smaller, resulting in a serious reduction in heat exchange efficiency, the temperature control valve 39 opens to discharge the hot water in the heat exchange cylinder 32, and the hot water flows into the water storage tank 310 along the water delivery pipe 311. The hot water in the water storage tank 310 is used in other places where hot water is used. At the same time, the water inlet pipe 38 simultaneously flows new cold water into the heat exchange cylinder 32 to replace and cool the water in the heat exchange cylinder 32;

[0052] As the air is compressed into the gas storage tank 21, the air enters the connecting pipe 314 at the same time. The air in the connecting pipe 314 presses the sliding pipe 315 to move, and the sliding pipe 315 drives the closing door 313 to move in the air chamber 312, thereby opening the closing door 313 on both ends of the air chamber 312. At the same time, the closing door 313 presses the telescopic rod 317 to contract, and presses the spring 318 to contract, so that the air chamber 312 will open the passage for compressed air to be used when the pressure in the gas storage tank 21 is greater than the overall elastic force of the spring 318. When the air pressure in the gas storage tank 21 is small and not greater than the elastic force of the spring 318, the closing door 313 closes the air chamber 312.

[0053] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
