Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of compressors, and in particular relates to a liquid storage modal adjustment device. Background Art
[0002] Compressor liquid shock refers to the phenomenon in which liquid refrigerant or lubricating oil is sucked into the compressor in the refrigeration system, causing the compressor to be subjected to sudden liquid shock;
[0003] The liquid receiver in the compressor is an important component that is responsible for storing refrigerant, preventing liquid hammer, and separating gas and liquid.
[0004] Under certain working conditions, a large amount of liquid refrigerant will enter the compressor accumulator. In order to change the cavity mode of the accumulator, there will be a partition in the middle of the accumulator, and a through hole is opened on the partition to connect the upper and lower cavities; the liquid refrigerant enters the lower cavity from the upper cavity through the through hole on the partition, thereby ensuring that the liquid refrigerant does not accumulate too much in the upper cavity and enter the cylinder in large quantities to cause liquid hammer.
[0005] The existing through-hole state will cause the liquid refrigerant to cover the entire through-hole when flowing into the lower cavity, resulting in the collision of the gaseous refrigerant and the liquid refrigerant in the lower cavity, giving the flowing liquid refrigerant a resistance, reducing the refrigerant flow rate and causing the liquid refrigerant to accumulate in the upper cavity, ultimately leading to liquid hammer in the cylinder. Summary of the invention
[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a liquid reservoir modal adjustment device, comprising a connecting channel of adjacent cavities, wherein a liquid-blocking protrusion is arranged on the edge of the connecting channel to prevent liquid from entering the connecting channel, thereby obtaining space in the connecting channel for exhaust.
[0007] A technical solution provided by this application also has the following technical features:
[0008] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present application, the height of the liquid-blocking protrusion is smaller than the height of the inner tube.

[0020] Gas-liquid separation: The partition of the liquid storage device divides the inner cavity of the liquid storage device into multiple parts, so that the liquid refrigerant and the gaseous refrigerant can be stored separately, thereby achieving gas-liquid separation. The liquid refrigerant is stored in the inner cavity below the partition, while the gaseous refrigerant is stored in the inner cavity above the partition; above and below are relative to the direction of gravity, because under the action of gravity, the liquid refrigerant and the gaseous refrigerant are separated by the influence of density. Generally, the density of liquid refrigerant is greater than that of gaseous refrigerant;
[0021] Although under certain working conditions, the density of liquid refrigerant may be less than or equal to that of gaseous refrigerant, this does not exist under the current operating conditions of the liquid receiver;
[0022] Improve the natural frequency: By changing the internal structure of the reservoir, the partition can change the natural frequency of the reservoir, reduce the resonance with the compressor, and thus reduce noise;
[0023] Prevent liquid hammer: The design of the flow holes and connecting pipes on the partition can ensure that only gaseous refrigerant is sent to the compressor, while the liquid refrigerant is retained in the reservoir, preventing the liquid refrigerant from directly entering the compressor.
[0024] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present application, a connecting channel is formed through a flow hole and a connecting tube; a liquid-blocking protrusion is provided for the flow hole and the connecting tube to ensure that at least a portion of the space of the connecting channel is used for exhaust and to prevent liquid from completely covering the connecting channel.
[0025] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present application, the partition is arranged at an angle so that the liquid refrigerant has better conductivity in the liquid reservoir, thereby avoiding liquid retention and reducing local pressure accumulation.
[0026] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present application, multiple layers of partitions are provided, each layer being equipped with flow holes of different sizes, so as to gradually achieve gas-liquid separation and smooth transition of refrigerant flow and reduce the risk of liquid hammer.

[0029] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present application, an anti-corrosion coating or lipophilic material is added to the inner wall of the flow hole and the connecting pipe to reduce the adhesion of refrigerant droplets and reduce the probability of liquid refrigerant being sucked into the compressor.

[0033] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present application, a liquid buffer area is provided at the bottom of the liquid reservoir to store excess liquid refrigerant to prevent liquid shock caused by instantaneous pressure fluctuations.
[0034] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present application, the inner surface of the liquid reservoir is microstructured, such as by providing grooves or patterns, which helps to ensure smooth flow of the refrigerant and promotes gas-liquid separation.
