Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automobile air-conditioning maintenance, and relates to a filling tank for automobile air-conditioning refrigeration oil. Background Art

[0002] The lubricating oil used in air-conditioning compressors is called refrigeration oil or refrigeration oil. It is a special lubricating oil that can work normally under high and low temperature conditions. Its general functions are:

[0003] 1) Lubrication: It can lubricate the surface of moving parts of the compressor, reduce resistance and friction, reduce power consumption and extend service life.

[0004] 2) Cooling effect: It can promptly take away the heat generated by the friction of the moving surface to prevent the compressor from overheating or burning out.

[0005] 3) Sealing effect: Lubricating oil penetrates into the sealing surfaces of each friction part to form an oil seal, which prevents refrigerant leakage.

[0006] 4) Reduce compressor noise: Lubricating oil continuously flushes the friction surface, takes away the debris, and reduces the wear of friction parts.

[0007] The refrigeration oil is completely dissolved in the refrigerant in the air conditioning refrigeration system and circulates in the refrigeration system with the refrigerant. In order to ensure the reliable operation of the rotating moving parts inside the compressor, a certain amount of refrigeration oil must be added to the compressor and the air conditioning refrigeration system pipeline for lubrication to ensure the reliable operation of the air conditioning compressor. When the air conditioner is working, part of the refrigeration oil in the air conditioning refrigeration system exists in the compressor to lubricate the moving parts inside the compressor, and the other part of the refrigeration oil is dissolved in Freon and circulates in the refrigeration system pipeline with Freon. When the air conditioning equipment refrigeration system pipeline is reduced for some reason, the overall amount of refrigeration oil in the air conditioning refrigeration system will be reduced. When the amount of refrigeration oil is reduced to a certain extent, the refrigeration oil stored in the compressor to lubricate its moving parts will also be reduced accordingly. The compressor will burn and get stuck due to lack of oil and the internal parts cannot be reliably lubricated. In order to avoid such failure of the compressor, when the amount of refrigeration oil in the compressor of the air conditioning refrigeration system is detected to be low, a certain amount of refrigeration oil is added from the oil filling port of the compressor. The existing ones are filled by using a car air conditioning maintenance machine, the output pipe of the car air conditioning maintenance machine is connected to the oil filling port, and the input pipe of the car air conditioning maintenance machine is connected to the oil storage bottle. However, the upper end of the current oil storage bottle is open, the sealing is poor, and it is easy to enter dust and cause pollution when it is in contact with air for a long time.
