The refrigerant passes through the rotor through the refrigerant holes to exert its effect. The refrigerant absorbs, transfers and releases heat during the circulation process, enabling the system to effectively cool or heat the air, objects or environment.

[0003] Since the price of the balancing block is relatively high, in order to reduce the cost of the compressor, the use of the balancing block is usually reduced, and reducing the use of the balancing block will inevitably affect the use effect of the rotor.

[0004] Based on this, how to reduce the weight of the balancing weight without affecting the use effect of the rotor has become a technical problem that technicians in this field need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0023] The rotor assembly provided in the present application reduces the weight of the rotor core on the side away from the balancing block by enlarging the cross-sectional area of ​​the refrigerant hole arranged away from the balancing block, resulting in an uneven weight distribution of the rotor core, and thus requiring the weight of the balancing block to be reduced to maintain the use effect of the rotor assembly; and the reduction in the weight of the balancing block also reduces the cost of the balancing block, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the compressor.

[0039] The object of the present invention is to provide a rotor assembly and a compressor, so as to reduce the weight of the balancing block without affecting the use effect of the rotor.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 In the prior art, the original refrigerant hole 13 is arranged around the shaft hole of the rotor core 10, and the cross-sectional areas of the multiple original refrigerant holes 13 are equal. In order to ensure the use effect of the compressor rotor, the balancing block 11 needs to be sufficiently arranged on the two side end faces of the rotor core 10, which makes it impossible to reduce the weight of the balancing block 11, thereby causing the cost of the compressor to be unable to be effectively controlled. Based on this, this embodiment provides a rotor assembly and a compressor, which reduces the weight of the side of the rotor core away from the balancing block by increasing the cross-sectional area of ​​the refrigerant hole arranged away from the balancing block, so that the weight of the balancing block can be reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the compressor.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 The present invention provides a rotor assembly, comprising: a rotor core 10 and a balancing block 11; the balancing blocks 11 are respectively arranged on the end faces of the rotor core 10 on both sides along its own axial direction X; and the balancing blocks 11 cover part of the end face of the rotor core 10 along the circumferential direction Z of the rotor core 10; a plurality of coolant holes 12 penetrating the rotor core 10 along the axial direction X are opened on the end face of the rotor core 10; at least on one end face of the rotor core 10, the cross-sectional area of ​​the coolant hole 12 arranged away from the balancing block 11 is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the coolant hole 12 arranged close to the balancing block 11. It should be noted that the cross-sectional area of ​​the coolant hole 12 in the above text refers to the cross-sectional area of ​​the coolant hole 12 perpendicular to the axial direction X of the rotor core 10, and the coolant holes 12 mentioned in this article are all enlarged coolant holes 12, and the non-enlarged coolant holes 12 are referred to as original coolant holes 13. In the present embodiment, a plurality of refrigerant holes 12 are evenly arranged around the circumference Z of the rotor core 10, and each refrigerant hole 12 penetrates the rotor core 10 along the axial direction X of the rotor core 10 to form a channel for the circulation of the refrigerant. In order to reduce the cost of the balancing block 11, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the rotor core 10 on the side away from the balancing block 11. In the present embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the refrigerant hole 12 arranged away from the balancing block 11 is enlarged. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that enlarging the cross-sectional area of ​​the refrigerant hole 12 means that the volume of the channel for the circulation of the refrigerant increases, which results in a reduction in the weight of the rotor core 10 on the side away from the balancing block 11. The rotor that was originally able to maintain balance by the heavy balancing block 11 will fall to the side where the refrigerant hole 12 is not enlarged due to the uneven weight distribution of the rotor core 10. At this time, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the balancing block 11 to restore the balance of the rotor core 10; the reduction in the weight of the balancing block 11 also reduces the production cost of the compressor. In the present embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The enlarged refrigerant hole 12 only increases in size but does not change in shape compared to the original refrigerant hole 13. In some other embodiments, the enlarged refrigerant hole 12 may also have a shape different from that of the original refrigerant hole 13, as long as its cross-sectional area is greater than that of the original refrigerant hole 13.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, the enlarged coolant hole 12 may be provided only on one side end surface of the rotor core 10 (eg Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown), at this time, the coolant hole 12 corresponding to the other side end surface of the rotor core 10 is still the size of the original coolant hole 13; the enlarged coolant hole 12 can also be set on both side end surfaces of the rotor core 10 (as shown Figures 5 and 6As shown), at this time, the enlarged refrigerant holes 12 on the two side end faces are located on different sides, and the refrigerant holes 12 on the other side end faces corresponding thereto are still the size of the original refrigerant holes 13. With such a configuration, by changing the shape of the refrigerant holes 12 and expanding the cross-sectional area of ​​the refrigerant holes 12 away from the balancing block 11, the weight of this part of the rotor core 10 is reduced; and the rotor core 10 was originally able to maintain balance during rotation through the heavy balancing block 11. Now, due to the decrease in the weight of the rotor core 10, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the balancing block 11 so that the rotor core 10 can be balanced again. Figure 2 and Figure 4 In the embodiment, the weight of the balance block 11 on one side end surface of the enlarged refrigerant hole 12 can be reduced; Figures 5 and 6 In this embodiment, the weight of the balancing blocks 11 located on both side end surfaces of the rotor core 10 can be reduced.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 ,in, Figure 3 for Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of the end face of the rotor core 10 along the axis A, Figure 7 for Figure 6 The cross-sectional view of the end surface of the rotor core 10 along the axis B in FIG. The coolant hole 12 has a first end 120 and a second end 121 that are oppositely arranged along the axial direction X of the rotor core 10, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the coolant hole 12 at the first end 120 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the coolant hole 12 at the second end 121. It should be noted that for the enlarged coolant hole 12 (please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 ), the cross-sectional area at the first end 120 is greater than the cross-sectional area at the second end 121, wherein the cross-sectional area at the first end 120 and the cross-sectional area at the second end 121 can be understood as the cross-sectional area of ​​the opening of the coolant hole 12 on the two end surfaces of the rotor core 10; and for the original coolant hole 13 (please refer to Figure 3 ), whose cross-sectional area at the first end 120 is equal to its cross-sectional area at the second end 121.

[0044] As an optional embodiment, the refrigerant hole 12 has a first diameter section 122 and a second diameter section 123, the first diameter section 122 is arranged near the first end 120, the second diameter section 123 is arranged near the second end 121, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the first diameter section 122 is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second diameter section 123. Preferably, the length of the first diameter section 122 along the axial direction X of the rotor core 10 is less than or equal to half of the axial length X of the rotor core 10. Please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7In the refrigerant channel formed by an enlarged refrigerant hole 12, the first end 120 is provided with an enlarged refrigerant hole 12 opening, which is connected to the first diameter section 122; the second end 121 is provided with an original refrigerant hole 13 opening, which is connected to the second diameter section 123. The length of the first diameter section 122 along the axial direction X of the rotor core 10 does not exceed half of the axial length X of the rotor core 10, so as to prevent the length of the first diameter section 122 from being too long, the mass of the rotor core 10 from changing too much, and affecting the use effect of the rotor.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the extension direction of the coolant hole 12 is set at an angle to the axial direction X of the rotor core 10. Figure 3 For example, the extension direction of the coolant hole 12 is parallel to the axial direction X of the rotor core 10. In other real-time examples, the rotor core 10 is obtained by stacking rotor punchings. Therefore, after using the progressive die stamping process, it is possible to achieve different shapes of the coolant holes 12 on different rotor punchings in the axial direction X of the rotor core 10, and it can also be achieved that the coolant through hole area of ​​punching B is larger than the coolant through hole area of ​​punching A, that is, the coolant through hole of punching A is completely contained in the coolant through hole area of ​​punching B. Based on this, the extension direction of the entire coolant hole 12 can also have an angle with the axial direction X of the rotor core 10. The specific angle can be configured according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0046] Furthermore, the connection between the first diameter section 122 and the second diameter section 123 is arranged in a step shape; or, the diameter of the first diameter section 122 gradually decreases from the first end 120 to the second end 121. Figure 3 and Figure 7 In the illustrated example, the extension directions of the first diameter section 122 and the second diameter section 123 are both arranged parallel to the axial direction X of the rotor core 10, and the connection between the first diameter section 122 and the second diameter section 123 is in a step-like shape, that is, the large-diameter refrigerant hole 12 suddenly changes into a small-diameter refrigerant hole 12 at the connection between the first diameter section 122 and the second diameter section 123. In some other embodiments, the transition from the first diameter section 122 to the second diameter section 123 may also be a gradual transition, that is, the large-diameter refrigerant hole 12 gradually decreases to the small-diameter refrigerant hole 12, and the reduction may be made at the first end 120, or may start from a certain section, and the specific transition method may be flexibly configured by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 4 The opening of the coolant hole 12 at the first end 120 is formed by a plurality of sub-coolant holes 12 that are arranged away from the balancing block 11 and are connected to each other. Figure 4In the illustrated example, the number of refrigerant holes 12 is 6, of which 3 are arranged close to the balancing block 11, and the other 3 are arranged far from the balancing block 11. The enlarged refrigerant hole 12 merges the 3 refrigerant holes 12 arranged far from the balancing block 11 into one, while the original refrigerant hole 13 close to the balancing block 11 remains unchanged. In another embodiment, the enlarged refrigerant hole 12 may also be formed by merging 2 original refrigerant holes 13, or by merging other numbers of original refrigerant holes 13, and the remaining original refrigerant holes 13 arranged far from the balancing block 11 may also be formed as follows. Figure 2 As shown, an enlarged refrigerant hole 12 is formed.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 5 to 7 The balancing blocks 11 are relatively arranged on both side end surfaces of the rotor core 10 along the radial direction Y of the rotor core 10; on both side end surfaces of the rotor core 10, the cross-sectional area of ​​the refrigerant hole 12 arranged away from the balancing block 11 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the refrigerant hole 12 arranged close to the balancing block 11. Furthermore, the two refrigerant holes 12 relatively arranged on the radial direction Y of the rotor core 10, the first end 120 and the second end 121 are relatively arranged along the radial direction Y of the rotor core 10. It should be noted that Figure 5 and Figure 6 For example, in Figure 5 In the embodiment, on one side end surface of the rotor core 10, the weight of the balancing block 11 is concentrated below the drawing, so the plurality of refrigerant holes 12 located above the drawing can be expanded; Figure 6 In the embodiment, on the other side end surface of the rotor core 10, the weight of the balancing block 11 is concentrated on the upper side of the drawing, so the plurality of refrigerant holes 12 located below the drawing can be expanded. Figure 7 The refrigerant channels shown are two refrigerant channels arranged relatively along the radial direction Y of the rotor core 10. Such an arrangement can reduce the weight of the balancing blocks 11 located on the two side end faces of the rotor core 10 without affecting the performance of the rotor core 10, thereby further reducing the production cost.

[0049] In another embodiment, the present invention further provides a compressor, comprising the rotor assembly as described above. With such configuration, by enlarging the cross-sectional area of ​​the refrigerant hole 12 disposed away from the balancing block 11, the weight of the rotor core 10 on the side away from the balancing block 11 is reduced, thereby being able to reduce the weight of the balancing block 11 to adapt to the change in the weight distribution of the rotor core 10, thereby reducing the cost of the balancing block 11 while ensuring the performance of the rotor core 10, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the compressor.

[0050] In summary, in the rotor assembly and the compressor provided in the embodiments of the present invention, the rotor assembly includes: a rotor core and a balancing block; the balancing blocks are respectively arranged on the end faces of the rotor core on both sides along its own axial direction; and the balancing blocks cover part of the end face of the rotor core along the circumferential direction of the rotor core; a plurality of refrigerant holes are provided on the end face of the rotor core and penetrate the rotor core axially; at least on one end face of the rotor core, the cross-sectional area of ​​the refrigerant hole arranged away from the balancing block is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the refrigerant hole arranged close to the balancing block.

[0051] Such a configuration reduces the weight of the rotor core on the side away from the balance block by expanding the cross-sectional area of ​​the refrigerant hole arranged away from the balance block, making the weight distribution of the rotor core uneven. It is necessary to reduce the weight of the balance block to maintain the use effect of the rotor assembly. The reduction in the weight of the balance block also reduces the cost of the balance block, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the compressor.

[0052] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any changes or modifications made by a person skilled in the art in the field of the present invention based on the above disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims.
