Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of compressors, in particular to a rotor balancing structure and a compressor. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to improve the stability of the compressor, a balancing block is usually arranged on the rotor to offset the radial force of the compressor rotor on the motor rotating shaft, thereby ensuring reliable operation of the compressor.

[0003] In order to reduce the disturbance of the rotor to the gas during high-speed movement and reduce the influence of air resistance, the windward surface and the leeward surface of the balancing block are arranged as a streamline curved surface. This not only causes a significant increase in the volume of the balancing block, but also causes the balancing effect of the balancing block to be slightly weakened due to the offset of the center of mass. Therefore, the balancing block needs to be further increased in height to achieve the balancing effect, which ultimately leads to an increase in the overall weight of the rotor, wasting materials and increasing the operating load of the motor rotating shaft.

The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary, only for explaining the application, and cannot be understood as a limitation on the application.

[0038] As Figures 1-5As shown, the embodiment provides a rotor balancing structure, which comprises a counterweight 1 and a streamlined shell 2. The counterweight 1 is a semi-circular ring structure, and the counterweight 1 comprises an inner arc surface 11 and an outer arc surface 12 oppositely arranged along the thickness direction T thereof. It can be understood that the inner arc surface 11 and the outer arc surface 12 are both arc surfaces. At least one of the opposite ends of the counterweight 1 along the length direction L thereof is provided with the streamlined shell 2. The streamlined shell 2 comprises a streamlined curved surface 21, and the streamlined curved surface 21 comprises a streamlined end surface 211, an inner connecting surface 212 and an outer connecting surface 213. The inner connecting surface 212 is connected between the streamlined end surface 211 and the inner arc surface 11, and the outer connecting surface 213 is connected between the streamlined end surface 211 and the outer arc surface 12. The streamlined end surface 211 is outwardly inclined from top to bottom along the height direction H of the counterweight 1, that is, the distance between the streamlined end surface 211 and the counterweight 1 gradually increases from top to bottom along the height direction H of the counterweight 1. It should be noted that the height direction H of the counterweight 1 is perpendicular to the thickness direction T of the counterweight 1, that is, the height direction H of the counterweight 1 is the axial direction of the rotor.

[0039] It should be noted that the streamlined curved surface 21 is the outer surface of the streamlined shell 2, that is, the outer surface of the streamlined shell 2 is streamlined, so that the fluid on the surface of the streamlined curved surface 21 mainly exhibits laminar flow, and there is little or no turbulent flow, which can reduce the air resistance when the rotor moves at high speed. By arranging the streamlined curved surface 21 on the streamlined shell 2, compared with the balancing block which is completely solid in the prior art, the weight of the rotor balancing structure is greatly reduced, and the volume of the rotor balancing structure is not greatly increased. Not only can the air resistance be reduced, but also the weight of the rotor balancing structure is not excessively increased, the material is saved, the cost is reduced, and the load of the motor rotating shaft is reduced.

[0040] Optionally, the counterweight 1 further comprises a top end surface 13 and a bottom end surface 14 oppositely arranged along the height direction H thereof, and the inner arc surface 11 and the outer arc surface 12 are connected by the top end surface 13 and the bottom end surface 14 at opposite ends along the height direction of the counterweight 1. The streamlined curved surface 21 comprises a shell top end 22 and a shell bottom end 23 oppositely arranged along the height direction H of the counterweight 1. The shell top end 22 is fixedly connected with the top end surface 13, and the shell bottom end 23 is flush with the bottom end surface 14, so that the effect of reducing air resistance of the streamlined shell 2 is better.

[0041] In the embodiment, the opposite ends of the counterweight 1 along the length direction L thereof are both provided with the streamlined shell 2. In other words, the streamlined curved surface 21 of one of the two streamlined shells 2 is a windward surface, and the streamlined curved surface 21 of the other is a leeward surface, further reducing the influence of air resistance on the rotor.

[0042] Optionally, the weight of the rotor balancing structure is G, and the total weight of the two streamlined housings 2 is g, and g≤20%G. In this way, the streamlined housing 2 can ensure that the wind resistance is reduced without significantly increasing the overall weight of the rotor balancing structure.

[0043] Optionally, the streamlined housing 2 is formed by stamping a plate material; the thickness of the plate material is t, and 0.5mm≤t≤1.5mm. For example, the thickness t of the plate material can be any value between 0.5mm and 1.5mm, such as 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 0.10mm, 0.11mm, 0.12mm, 0.13mm, 0.14mm, 0.15mm, etc. In this way, the plate material can be stamped, and the strength of the streamlined housing 2 can be ensured.

[0044] For example, the streamlined housing 2 is formed by stamping a non-magnetic stainless steel plate material.

[0045] Optionally, the rotor balancing structure further comprises a connecting plate 3, and in this embodiment, one end of the connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected with one streamlined housing 2, and the other end is fixedly connected with the other streamlined housing 2. The streamlined housing 2 and the counterweight 1 are connected by the connecting plate 3 to form a circular ring-shaped whole, which not only facilitates the connection of the rotor balancing structure and the rotor, but also improves the installation stability of the rotor balancing structure.

[0046] In other embodiments, the streamlined housing 2 can also be provided only one, in other words, the counterweight 1 is provided with a streamlined housing 2 at one of the opposite ends along the length direction L, and the other end is not provided with a streamlined housing 2, and one end of the connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected with the streamlined housing 2, and the other end is fixedly connected with the counterweight 1.

[0047] Optionally, the connecting plate 3 is a semi-circular ring structure, which facilitates matching with the rotor and improves the connection stability of the rotor balancing structure and the rotor. At the same time, compared with the connecting plate 3 of the circular ring structure in the prior art, the weight of the connecting plate 3 can be reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the rotor balancing structure.

[0048] In this embodiment, the bottom end surface 14 of the counterweight 1, the bottom end 23 of the streamlined housing 2, and the bottom surface of the connecting plate 3 are flush, so as to match with the rotor and improve the installation stability of the rotor balancing structure.

[0049] Optionally, the streamlined housing 2 and the connecting plate 3 are integrally formed, which reduces the assembly steps and improves the structural stability.

[0050] In this embodiment, the counterweight 1 is provided with a first mounting hole 15, and a rivet or the like connecting piece can be used to pass through the first mounting hole 15 to rivet the counterweight 1 with the rotor; the connecting plate 3 is provided with a second mounting hole 31, and a rivet or the like connecting piece can be used to pass through the second mounting hole 31 to rivet the connecting plate 3 with the rotor.

[0051] In the projection of the rotor balancing structure on a preset plane, the center of the first mounting hole 15 and the center of the second mounting hole 31 are located on the same circle with a diameter of D; the preset plane is perpendicular to the height direction H of the counterweight 1, in other words, the preset plane is a plane perpendicular to the rotor axial direction; the diameter of the projection of the inner connecting surface 212 on the preset plane is not less than 60% D; and the diameter of the projection of the outer connecting surface 213 on the preset plane is not greater than 140% D. In this way, the streamlined shell 2 can ensure that the wind resistance is reduced without excessively increasing the overall volume of the rotor balancing structure.

[0052] Optionally, the top end 22 is provided with a connecting end plate 221, which is fixedly connected with the top end surface 13 through surface-to-surface connection, thereby increasing the contact area of the streamlined shell 2 and the counterweight 1 and improving the connection stability of the streamlined shell 2 and the counterweight 1.

[0053] Optionally, the connecting end plate 221 is provided with a third mounting hole 2211 corresponding to the first mounting hole 15, and a connecting member such as a rivet can be inserted into the third mounting hole 2211 to fixedly connect the connecting end plate 221 and the top end surface 13, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0054] Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting end plate 221 and the top end surface 13 can also be fixedly connected by means of interference fitting, welding, bonding, etc., which are not limited herein.

[0055] The embodiment also provides a compressor comprising a rotor and the rotor balancing structure as described above, wherein the counterweight 1 and the streamlined shell 2 are fixedly connected with the rotor. The compressor of the embodiment has the same beneficial effects as the rotor balancing structure described above.

[0056] Note that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and the technical principles applied. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions without departing from the scope of the present application. Therefore, although the present application has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and can include more other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present application, and the scope of the present application is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
