[0002] A centrifugal compressor is a type of turbine compressor that converts mechanical energy into gas pressure energy. Its working principle is to use a high-speed rotating impeller to perform work on the gas, using centrifugal force to compress the gas, increasing its pressure and kinetic energy.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0028] like Figure 1 — Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a centrifugal compressor with a volute heat dissipation structure, including a motor system 1, an automatic balancing system 2, a first compression system 3 and a second compression system 4. The motor system 1 has two output ends, the first compression system 3 and the second compression system 4 are installed on both sides of the motor system 1, and the first compression system 3 and the second compression system 4 are respectively connected to the corresponding output ends. The motor system 1 is used to drive the first compression system 3 and the second compression system 4 to compress gas. The motor system 1 includes a stator 11, a rotor device 12, a casing 13, two motor end covers 14, two bearings 15, two copper sleeves 16, two end cover inner covers 17 and two end cover outer covers 18. The rotor device 12 forms two output ends, and the stator 11 is installed in the casing 13. The rotor device 12 is mounted on the corresponding motor end cover 14 through each bearing 15, and each copper sleeve 16 is sleeved on the corresponding bearing 15. The copper sleeve 16 and the outer ring of the bearing 15 are both provided with openings. The motor end cover 14 is provided with an oil supply channel 141, which is connected to the opening on the copper sleeve 16 and the opening on the outer ring of the bearing 15. The copper sleeve 16 and the motor end cover 14 are clearance-matched. The pressurized lubricating oil injected from the oil supply channel 141 enters the gap between the copper sleeve 16 and the motor end cover 14, so that when the rotor device 12 rotates, the rotor device 12 vibrates due to dynamic balance problems. The vibration of the rotor device 12 is buffered because the gap between the copper sleeve 16 and the motor end cover 14 is filled with pressurized oil, and a heat dissipation effect is produced, thereby increasing the service life of the equipment.

[0029] Each end cover inner cover 17 is installed on the side of the corresponding motor end cover 14 close to the stator 11, and each end cover outer cover 18 is installed on the side of the corresponding motor end cover 14 away from the stator 11. The end cover inner cover 17 and the end cover outer cover 18 are connected to the rotor device 12 through a sealing sleeve to prevent lubricating oil leakage. The automatic balancing system 2 includes a plurality of eccentric rings 21 and a plurality of reference columns 22. Each reference column 22 is evenly distributed and installed in the housing 13 along the inner side of the housing 13. Each eccentric ring 21 is sleeved and installed outside the rotor device 12. The diameter of the cylindrical surface where the vertex of each reference column 22 is located is defined as the first diameter. The diameter of the eccentric ring 21 is defined as the first diameter. The outer diameter is defined as the second diameter. The difference between the first diameter and the second diameter is equal to twice the gap between the copper sleeve 16 and the motor end cover 14. The distance between the center of the eccentric ring 21 and the rotation axis of the rotor device 12 is smaller than the gap between the copper sleeve 16 and the motor end cover 14. When the rotor device 12 vibrates, causing the rotation axis of the rotor device 12 to deviate slightly, the reference column 22 rubs against the deviated eccentric ring 21, causing the eccentric ring 21 to rotate. Since the eccentric ring 21 rotates relative to the rotor device 12, the rotor device 12 automatically adjusts the dynamic balance, the equipment has little impact, and the equipment life is long.

[0030] Please note that because the difference between the first diameter and the second diameter is equal to twice the gap between the copper sleeve 16 and the motor end cover 14, when the rotor device 12 rotates, if the rotor device 12 rotates smoothly, the eccentric ring 21 should not touch the reference column 22. When the rotor device 12 vibrates severely, the eccentric ring 21 will touch the reference column 22. It is worth noting that the side that touches the reference column 22 must be the heavier side of the rotor device 12. After the protruding eccentric ring 21 touches the reference column 22, the eccentric ring 21 will rotate so that the eccentric ring 21 will not be blocked by the reference column 22, and then the eccentric ring 21 passes through the position of the reference column 22, which causes the weight of the heavier side of the rotor device 12 to be reduced, thereby automatically adjusting the dynamic balance of the rotor device 12 and ensuring the smooth rotation of the rotor device 12.

[0031] Specifically, the first compression system 3 includes a No. 1 volute end cover 31, a first volute 32, a first collector 33 and a first impeller 34. The No. 1 volute end cover 31 is installed on the motor end cover 14, the first volute 32 is installed on the No. 1 volute end cover 31, the first collector 33 is installed on the side of the No. 1 volute end cover 31 away from the motor end cover 14, the first collector 33 is connected to the first volute 32, the first impeller 34 is installed on the rotor device 12, the first impeller 34 is located in the first collector 33, the No. 1 volute end cover 31 and the rotor device 12 are sealed by a stepped sealing sleeve, and the rotation of the first impeller 34 realizes primary pressurization.

[0032] Specifically, the second compression system 4 includes a No. 2 volute end cover 41, a second volute 42, a second collector 43 and a second impeller 44. The No. 2 volute end cover 41 is installed on the motor end cover 14, the second volute 42 is installed on the No. 2 volute end cover 41, and the second collector 43 is installed on the side of the No. 2 volute end cover 41 away from the motor end cover 14. The second volute 42 is connected to the second collector 43, and the air after one pressurization flows into the second collector 43. The second impeller 44 is installed on the rotor device 12, and the second impeller 44 is located in the second collector 43. The No. 2 volute end cover 41 and the rotor device 12 are sealed by a stepped sealing sleeve, and the rotation of the second impeller 44 realizes secondary pressurization.

[0033] Specifically, the rotor device 12 includes two output shafts 121 and an intermediate sleeve 122 . The two output shafts 121 are mounted on both sides of the intermediate sleeve 122 to ensure synchronous rotation of the two output shafts 121 . Each eccentric ring 21 is sleeved outside the intermediate sleeve 122 .

[0034] Specifically, the end of the oil supply channel 141 of the motor end cover 14 is provided with a flared pipe joint and an extended joint in sequence for oil intake.

[0035] Specifically, the gap between the copper sleeve 16 and the motor end cover 14 is 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm, thereby forming a buffer gap to prevent rigid collision and increase service life.

[0036] Specifically, a plurality of pressure-maintaining grooves 161 are provided on the side of the copper sleeve 16 close to the motor end cover 14. When the copper sleeve 16 vibrates, the pressure-maintaining grooves 161 block the outflow of the pressure oil and reduce the flow rate of the pressure oil, so that the pressure oil between the copper sleeve 16 and the motor end cover 14 can ensure sufficient oil pressure.

[0037] Specifically, the mutually adjacent positions of the eccentric ring 21 and the plurality of reference posts 22 are all arc-shaped, which reduces the impact force of collision and increases the service life.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, which shall fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected.
