Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0021] In order to further illustrate the principle and structure of the present invention, preferred embodiments of the present invention are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a large pressure ratio compression and expansion integrated machine, including: a motor 1, a rotor 11, a compression device 2 and an expansion device 4.

[0023] The motor 1 is used as a power source to provide power for the operation of the entire integrated machine. The rotor 11 extends from the motor 1 to both ends of the motor 1 housing, playing the role of connecting and transmitting power. A compression device 2 is provided at one end of the motor 1 housing, and an expansion device 4 is provided at the other end. The compression device 2 and the expansion device 4 are both driven by the rotor 11, so that the compression and expansion processes are completed simultaneously under the drive of a single motor 1.

[0024] The compression device 2 includes a compression volute 21, which provides installation space and a gas circulation channel for internal compression impellers and other components. A first-stage compression impeller 2112 and a second-stage compression impeller 2122 are arranged in the compression volute 21, which are connected to the rotor 11 in sequence from far to near. The first-stage compression impeller 2112 and the second-stage compression impeller 2122 are driven to rotate by the rotation of the rotor 11, thereby compressing the gas. A first-stage compression wheel cover 2111 corresponding to the first-stage compression impeller 2112 and a second-stage compression wheel cover 2121 corresponding to the second-stage compression impeller 2122 are also fixedly arranged in the compression volute 21, and a compression wheel back 2124 is arranged on the side of the second-stage compression impeller 2122 away from the first-stage compression impeller 2112. The secondary compression wheel cover 2121 is located between the primary compression impeller 2112 and the secondary compression impeller 2122. It plays an important role. On the one hand, it provides a wheel back function for the primary compression impeller 2112. On the other hand, a first flow channel 2123 is formed inside the primary compression impeller 2112 to connect the outlet of the primary compression impeller 2112 and the inlet of the secondary compression impeller 2122. The gas after primary compression can flow smoothly to the secondary compression impeller 2122 through the first flow channel 2123, ensuring the continuous flow of gas during the compression process and the effective implementation of multi-stage compression. The design of the first flow channel 2123 formed in the secondary compression wheel cover 2121 enables the gas after primary compression to flow directly to the secondary compression impeller 2122 through the flow channel, without the need for complex external pipeline connections to guide the gas to flow between the two-stage compression impellers. Traditional multi-stage compression equipment without such an integrated flow channel design requires additional pipes, valves and other components to realize the transition of the gas from the flow after primary compression to the secondary compression, which not only increases the number of components, but also easily causes leakage and pressure loss at the connection parts, increasing the complexity of the design of the flow part. However, this solution simplifies the flow path of the gas inside the compression part and reduces the difficulty of flow design by directly constructing the flow channel inside the second-stage compression wheel cover 2121.

[0025] Furthermore, the compression volute 21 includes a primary compression volute 211 and a secondary compression volute 212. The primary compression volute 211 and the secondary compression volute 212 together form a storage space for accommodating the primary compression impeller 2112 and the secondary compression impeller 2122, providing a stable installation and working environment for the two-stage compression impellers. The primary compression volute 211 and the secondary compression volute 212 are connected in a detachable sealed manner. During the installation of the equipment, the detachable design facilitates the assembly of various components. For example, during factory production or equipment maintenance, the primary compression volute 211 and the secondary compression volute 212 and their internal components can be separately installed and debugged, and then the two can be accurately docked and sealed, thereby improving the convenience of production and maintenance. The sealed connection ensures that the gas will not leak from the connection part of the volute during the compression process, maintains the pressure stability inside the system, and ensures the compression efficiency. The first-stage compression wheel cover 2111 and the first-stage compression impeller 2112 are both located in the first-stage compression volute 211, and the first-stage compression wheel cover 2111 is fixedly connected to the first-stage compression volute 211. The second-stage compression wheel cover 2121 and the second-stage compression impeller 2122 are both located in the second-stage compression volute 212, and the second-stage compression wheel cover 2121 is fixedly connected to the second-stage compression volute 212.

[0026] When actually manufacturing and installing the high-pressure ratio compression-expansion integrated machine, for the compression volute 21 part, first prepare the first-stage compression volute 211 and the second-stage compression volute 212. In the first-stage compression volute 211, accurately install the first-stage compression impeller 2112 and the corresponding first-stage compression wheel cover 2111, and firmly fix the first-stage compression wheel cover 2111 on the first-stage compression volute 211 by bolt connection or other suitable fixing methods to ensure that its position is stable and well sealed.

[0027] For the secondary compression volute 212, the secondary compression impeller 2122 and the secondary compression wheel cover 2121 are also installed inside and firmly fixed. During the installation process, special attention should be paid to the unobstructed first flow channel 2123 in the secondary compression wheel cover 2121 to ensure that it can accurately connect the outlet of the primary compression impeller 2112 and the inlet of the secondary compression impeller 2122.

[0028] Then, the first-stage compression volute 211 and the second-stage compression volute 212 are butt-jointed, and sealing materials such as sealing gaskets and sealants are used in conjunction with connecting parts such as bolts to achieve a detachable sealed connection.

[0029] Further, the compression inlet 22 is arranged on the primary compression volute 211, and the compression outlet 23 is arranged on the secondary compression volute 212. When the system is running, the gas enters the primary compression volute 211 from the outside through the compression inlet 22, and then enters the inlet of the primary compression impeller 2112 without any hindrance. The primary compression impeller 2112 rotates at a high speed driven by the rotor 11, and performs the first compression on the incoming gas to increase its pressure. The gas after the primary compression enters the secondary compression impeller 2122 through the first flow channel 2123 for further compression to achieve high pressure ratio compression. At this time, the secondary compression impeller 2122 is located in the secondary compression volute 212, and the compression outlet 23 is arranged on the secondary compression volute 212 and is connected to the outlet of the secondary compression impeller 2122. In this way, after the gas after the primary compression completes the second compression in the secondary compression impeller 2122, it can be smoothly discharged from the compression volute 21 through the compression outlet 23, enter the subsequent equipment or pipeline system connected to the compression outlet 23, and continue to participate in the entire workflow.

[0030] Furthermore, the expansion device 4 is mainly composed of an expansion volute 41 and components such as a primary expansion impeller 411 and a secondary expansion impeller 412 arranged inside the expansion volute 41. In the expansion volute 41, the primary expansion impeller 411 and the secondary expansion impeller 412 are sequentially connected to the rotor 11 from near to far. The rotor 11 serves as a power transmission component, driving the primary expansion impeller 411 and the secondary expansion impeller 412 to rotate synchronously. When the high-pressure gas enters the expansion device 4, it passes through the primary expansion impeller 411 and the secondary expansion impeller 412 in sequence. Under the rotation of the impeller, the gas expands and performs work externally.

[0031] Further, a first-stage expansion impeller 411 is provided with a first-stage expansion wheel back 415 opposite to the first-stage expansion wheel cover 413 on one side close to the motor 1 housing, and a second-stage expansion impeller 412 is provided with a second-stage expansion wheel back 416 opposite to the second-stage expansion wheel cover 414 on one side close to the motor 1 housing. Among them, the second-stage expansion wheel back 416 is located between the first-stage expansion impeller 411 and the second-stage expansion impeller 412, and the gas after the first-stage expansion can enter the second-stage expansion impeller 412 through the second-stage expansion wheel back 416. Compared with the traditional multi-stage expansion device 4, the flow of gas between the expansion impellers at each stage does not require complex external pipeline connections and steering devices, which reduces the number of components and avoids problems that easily lead to increased gas flow resistance, increased pressure loss, and increased leakage risk. The solution of this embodiment, by reasonably arranging the internal components and using the second-stage expansion wheel back 416 as a transition, allows the gas to flow naturally and smoothly between the two-stage expansion impellers, reduces the dependence of the flow-through part on the external complex pipeline, and thus simplifies the difficulty of the flow-through design.

[0032] Furthermore, the expansion volute 41 is provided with an expansion inlet 42 and an expansion outlet 43 . The expansion inlet 42 is communicated with the inlet of the first-stage expansion impeller 411 , and the expansion outlet 43 is communicated with the outlet of the second-stage expansion impeller 412 .

[0033] Furthermore, a second flow channel for gas to flow from the primary expansion outlet 43 to the secondary expansion inlet 42 is provided on the secondary expansion wheel back 416. Specifically, the second flow channel is a plurality of through holes provided on the secondary expansion wheel back 416, and the gas after primary expansion can enter the secondary expansion impeller 412 through the through holes of the secondary expansion wheel back 416.

[0034] Furthermore, the output shaft of the motor 1 rotor 11 described above adopts a rotary stepped shaft structure, and the design of the rotary stepped shaft structure provides precise axial positioning for the compression impeller and the expansion impeller. At the same time, by arranging the pull rod 3 at both ends of the rotor 11, and matching the corresponding threaded structure and the pre-tightening nut 31, the first-stage compression impeller 2112 and the second-stage expansion impeller 412 are reliably fixed, ensuring the stability and safety of the entire impeller system during high-speed rotation.

[0035] Specifically, the rotating stepped shaft structure of the rotor 11 has multiple steps, which provide a clear positioning reference for the impeller in the axial direction, so that the impeller can be accurately in the predetermined position during installation, ensuring that the gap between the impeller and other components such as the volute and wheel cover is uniform, thereby optimizing the flow performance of the gas and improving the compression and expansion efficiency.

[0036] The tie rods 3 at both ends of the rotor 11 are key components for fixing the impeller. Both ends of the tie rod 3 are provided with external threads, and threaded holes matching the external threads are provided at both ends of the rotor 11. During the installation process, the tie rod 3 is first installed at both ends of the rotor 11 through the matching of the external threads and the threaded holes, laying the foundation for the subsequent installation of the impeller. The first-stage compression impeller 2112 and the second-stage expansion impeller 412 are both sleeved on the tie rod 3. This sleeve arrangement allows the impeller to be initially positioned along the axial direction of the tie rod 3.

[0037] Subsequently, the pre-tightening nut 31 threaded on the tie rod 3 comes into play. During installation, a large pulling force is applied to the tie rod 3 with the help of special bolt tensioners and other tools, so that the tie rod 3 is subjected to the pre-tightening force. At this time, the pre-tightening nut 31 tightly fixes the first-stage compression impeller 2112 and the second-stage expansion impeller 412 on the rotor 11 under the action of rotational extrusion. The existence of the pre-tightening force can not only prevent the axial displacement of the impeller during operation and ensure the relative position of the impeller and other components remains stable, but also enable the impeller to better withstand various loads such as centrifugal force and gas force when rotating at high speed, thereby improving the overall rigidity and reliability of the impeller system, thereby ensuring the long-term stable operation of the compression and expansion machine.

[0038] In addition to the aforementioned structures such as the motor 1, the rotor 11, the compression device 2 and the expansion device 4, the high-pressure ratio integrated compression and expansion machine of the present invention also has corresponding designs in terms of refrigeration.

[0039] In the compression device 2, if intermediate cooling is required, an outlet can be provided on the first compression volute 211, and an inlet can be provided on the second compression volute 212. At the same time, the second compression wheel cover 2121 is deformed by the structure to cut off the first flow channel 2132 of the fluid after the first compression to the second compression impeller 2122. In this way, the high-temperature fluid after the first compression can be discharged, cooled by the external cooling device, and then returned to the inlet of the second compression volute 212, thus realizing the intermediate cooling process. This design helps to reduce the temperature of the gas during the compression process and improve the compression efficiency, which is of great significance in the refrigeration cycle that is more sensitive to temperature.

[0040] In the expansion device 4, when intermediate temperature control is required, an outlet structure corresponding to the primary expansion and an inlet structure corresponding to the secondary expansion can be provided on the expansion volute 41, and the second flow channel on the secondary expansion wheel back 416 can be cut off, and the fluid after the primary expansion can be exported through the outlet structure. For example, in some refrigeration applications, the temperature of the gas after the primary expansion may not meet the requirements of the subsequent process. By exporting it and adjusting the temperature through a processing device such as a heat exchanger, and then returning it to the inlet structure of the secondary expansion, the gas temperature during the expansion process can be accurately controlled, thereby optimizing the performance of the entire refrigeration cycle.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any slight modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
