Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of single-screw compressors, and in particular to a precision liquid-injection star wheel with a stationary spindle. Background Art

[0002] In a single-screw compressor, the screw and star wheel mesh together, driving the star wheel, which then moves with the screw to compress the gas. Because compressors require tight sealing, the relative movement between the screw and star wheel causes wear. Over time, the seal between the screw and star wheel gradually becomes loose, leading to gas leakage, affecting the compression ratio and reducing efficiency. While existing technologies can spray lubricant on the star wheel teeth, which has a certain lubricating effect, the uneven spraying significantly reduces the lubrication effect. Furthermore, existing spraying methods consume a large amount of lubricant, resulting in high costs. Summary of the Invention

[0025] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the orientations or positional relationships in which the inventive product is usually placed when in use. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG, the overall diagram of the present application is shown, which adopts a single screw to replace the common twin screw in the prior art. Such a setting can shorten the length of the shaft and improve the operation stability.

[0030] like Figure 2-9 As shown, the star wheel of the present application includes a star wheel piece 1, a star wheel shaft 2 and a bearing 3, the star wheel piece 1 is fixedly arranged on the circumferential outside of the bearing 3, the bearing 3 is sleeved on the star wheel shaft 2, the star wheel shaft 2 is fixedly arranged and has a hole inside, the inside of the hole is filled with lubricating fluid, the liquid outlet of the star wheel shaft 2 is divided into a radial liquid outlet 202 and an axial liquid outlet 203, the bearing includes a bearing radial shell 301 and a bearing axial shell 302, the radial liquid outlet 202 corresponds to the position of the bearing radial shell 301, and the axial liquid outlet 203 corresponds to the position of the bearing axial shell 302. With such an arrangement, the lubricating fluid can be discharged from the radial liquid outlet 202 to the bearing radial shell 301's load-bearing area, and discharged from the axial liquid outlet 203 to the bearing axial shell 302's load-bearing area. The bearing drainage hole 303 of the bearing 3 communicates with the internal groove 103 of the star gear 1. The outlets of the internal groove 103 of the star gear 1 are located on both sides of the teeth of the star gear 1. The lubricating fluid discharged from the bearing drainage hole 303 enters the internal groove 103 of the star gear 1 and is then sprayed into the meshing area through the star gear outlets 104 on both sides of the star gear teeth of the star gear 1 for precise lubrication.

[0031] Furthermore, the bearing is a rolling bearing or a sliding bearing.

[0032] Furthermore, a liquid film with a certain stiffness and damping is filled between the bearing radial pad and the planetary wheel shaft to achieve radial limitation of the planetary wheel.

A liquid film with a certain stiffness and damping is filled between the thrust disc 201 and the bearing axial bushing 302 to achieve axial positioning of the planetary wheel. Furthermore, a liquid outlet is provided on the thrust disc 302.

[0034] Furthermore, during processing, the groove 103 inside the star wheel piece 1 is complex and cannot be processed as a whole. During processing, the star wheel piece needs to be divided into the star wheel piece upper layer 101 and the star wheel piece lower layer 102, and the grooves are processed separately. After the grooves are processed, the upper and lower pieces are combined into one by vacuum diffusion welding, and then the side of the star wheel is processed.
