[0061] When the crankshaft 32 is controlled to rotate, the slide rod 21 can reciprocate in the pump oil cavity 15 under the action of the elastic piece 23 and the first eccentric part 321, and then the oil in the oil pool 34 can enter the pump oil cavity 15 through the oil hole 17 when the pressure in the pump oil cavity 15 decreases, and the oil in the pump oil cavity 15 can enter the lubricating cavity 13 through the oil channel when the pressure in the pump oil cavity 15 increases.
[0062] Without the need to increase an additional power system, the structure is compact and the design is ingenious; as long as the horizontal scroll compressor is in a running state, the pump oil cavity 15 can continuously supply oil to the lubricating cavity 13 to circulate lubrication of the first bearing 33, so that the first bearing 33 is always in a lubricated state, solves the problem of poor lubrication of the first bearing 33 under extreme working conditions, improves the reliability of the first bearing 33, greatly reduces the failure rate of the first bearing 33, and thus prolongs the service life of the first bearing 33; the lubricating oil is stirred when flowing through the first bearing 33, and the refrigerant in the lubricating oil can be separated; at the same time, the lubricating oil flows to the first eccentric part 321 after passing through the first bearing 33, and rotates with the first eccentric part 321, and the refrigerant in the oil can be effectively separated under the centrifugal action; thus, the lubrication of the first bearing 33, the cooling of the lubricating oil, and the separation of the refrigerant in the lubricating oil can be realized; at the same time, the suction efficiency and the reliability of the compressor are improved; in addition, the first bearing 33 can be lubricated when the crankshaft 32 rotates forward and reversely.
[0063] Specifically, when the slide rod 21 slides away from the pump oil cavity 15, the pressure in the pump oil cavity 15 decreases, and the oil in the oil pool 34 can enter the pump oil cavity 15 through the oil hole 17; when the slide rod 21 slides towards the pump oil cavity 15, the pressure in the pump oil cavity 15 increases, and the oil in the pump oil cavity 15 can enter the lubricating cavity 13 through the oil channel.
[0064] The positions of the pump oil cavity 15 and the first eccentric part 321 affect the arrangement of the components in the housing cavity 311 and the timely delivery of the oil pool 34 to the lubricating cavity 13. The positions of the pump oil cavity 15 and the first eccentric part 321 are described as follows: the pump oil cavity 15 and the first eccentric part 321 are arranged in front of the first bearing hole 12; in the axial direction of the crankshaft 32, the position of the pump oil cavity 15 corresponds to the position of the first eccentric part 321; the pump oil cavity 15 extends in the radial direction of the crankshaft 32, so that the slide rod 21 can smoothly slide in the pump oil cavity 15 as the first eccentric part 321 rotates;
[0065] In the rotation direction of the first eccentric part 321, the first eccentric part 321 includes a near end and a far end; the first eccentric part 321 has a first state in which the near end abuts against the slide rod 21 and a second state in which the far end abuts against the slide rod 21 as the first eccentric part 321 rotates with the crankshaft 32; when the near end abuts against the slide rod 21, the slide rod 21 is away from the pump oil cavity 15; when the far end abuts against the slide rod 21, the slide rod 21 is close to the pump oil cavity 15;
[0066] When the first eccentric part 321 switches from the first state to the second state, the near end abutting against the slide rod 21 switches to the far end abutting against the slide rod 21, and the pump oil cavity 15 sucks oil from the oil pool 34; when the first eccentric part 321 switches from the second state to the first state, the far end abutting against the slide rod 21 switches to the near end abutting against the slide rod 21, and the pump oil cavity 15 delivers oil to the lubricating cavity 13.
[0067] Preferably, the oil pool 34 is formed between the lower end of the rear cover 1, the lower end of the boss 11, and the lower end of the housing 31; the pump oil cavity 15 is arranged below and in front of the first bearing hole 12, extends in the up-down direction, and the slide rod 21 can slide in the up-down direction under the action of the first eccentric part 321 and the elastic member 23 as the first eccentric part 321 rotates; the pump oil cavity 15 is provided with a guide block 16, the guide block 16 is formed with a guide hole, and the slide rod 21 is slidably arranged in the guide hole; one end of the slide rod 21 is arranged in the pump oil cavity 15, and the other end of the slide rod 21 abuts against the first eccentric part 321 through the guide hole, and the guide hole guides the slide rod 21; the lower end of the pump oil cavity 15 and the oil pool 34 are communicated through the oil hole 17; specifically, the oil hole 17 is located at the bottom of the pump oil cavity 15, so that when the oil content in the oil pool 34 is small, part of the oil can still enter the pump oil cavity 15, and then the part of the oil can enter the lubricating cavity 13 to lubricate the first bearing 33, prolong the service life of the first bearing 33, and ensure the reliable operation of the first bearing 33;
[0068] When the first eccentric part 321 switches from the first state to the second state, the slide rod 21 slides upward, and the pump oil cavity 15 sucks the oil in the oil pool 34 into the pump oil cavity 15; when the first eccentric part 321 switches from the second state to the first state, the slide rod 21 slides downward, and the pump oil cavity 15 can deliver the oil in the pump oil cavity 15 to the lubricating cavity 13 through the oil channel; in this way, when the first eccentric part 321 rotates one circle with the crankshaft 32, the pump oil cavity 15 completes a cycle of the process of sucking oil first and then discharging oil.
[0069] The structure and position of the oil channel have an influence on whether the oil can smoothly enter the lubricating cavity 13 from the pump oil cavity 15, and the structure and position of the oil channel are further described below. The lubricating cavity 13 is arranged at the rear of the first bearing hole 12, the contact area between the lubricating oil in the lubricating cavity 13 and the first bearing 33 is increased, and the lubricating effect of the first bearing 33 is ensured; preferably, the lubricating cavity 13 has a cylindrical structure, the lubricating cavity 13 and the first bearing hole 12 are coaxially arranged, the inner diameter of the lubricating cavity 13 is greater than the outer diameter of the outer ring of the first bearing 33 and less than the inner diameter of the outer ring of the first bearing 33; the oil in the lubricating cavity 13 can flow through the gap between the inner ring and the outer ring of the first bearing 33, so that the lubricating oil can fully lubricate the inner ring, the outer ring, the retainer and the rolling elements of the first bearing 33, and the lubrication is sufficient and comprehensive;
