Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of compressors, in particular to a labyrinth piston for a compressor. Background Art

[0002] The labyrinth piston for compressors features a specially designed piston structure, featuring a series of annular grooves (labyrinth grooves) machined into the piston's flanks, creating a tortuous sealing path. Its core principle is to utilize the multiple expansions, throttling effects, and eddy current dissipation of gas as it passes through the labyrinth grooves to significantly reduce leakage while avoiding the friction and wear associated with traditional piston ring contact seals. This system relies on gas dynamics to prevent leakage and reduce mechanical friction between the piston and cylinder wall. It is primarily used in the transportation of gases containing particulates.

[0003] Labyrinth pistons are typically equipped with dedicated support rings. These rings consist of two to four curved lobes and are mounted on the top and bottom of the piston, away from the labyrinth grooves. Dedicated mounting grooves are located on the piston's outer wall to secure the rings and maintain contact with the cylinder wall. These rings are made from self-lubricating, low-thermal-expansion non-metallic materials, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-filled materials, graphite composites, and ceramic coatings. These materials release lubricants or form a lubricating layer on the contact surface during friction, effectively reducing friction and wear. Self-lubricating materials have limited sealing performance under high differential pressures (they can be squeezed and deformed under these conditions, leading to seal failure). Therefore, the support rings' primary function is limited to radial support and guidance of the piston, while the labyrinth groove structure provides airtightness. This combined design offers advantages such as oil-free lubrication, low overall wear, and long service life, while completely eliminating the risk of lubricant contamination of the medium.

[0004] The existing labyrinth piston gradually exposed its shortcomings during use, mainly in the following aspects:

[0005] Labyrinth compressors are primarily used for compressing and conveying gases containing dust or particulate impurities. During operation, solid particles in the medium are carried by the airflow into the labyrinth grooves and deposited there. As the operating time increases and the particle accumulation in the labyrinth grooves reaches a critical value, the high-speed reciprocating motion of the pistons causes these particles to become abrasives, which not only intensifies scratches on the cylinder walls but also causes abnormal wear of key sealing areas in the labyrinth grooves. This wear significantly reduces sealing effectiveness, increases gas leakage, and irreversibly increases the piston clearance, seriously affecting the operating efficiency and service life of the compressor. This wear problem is particularly prominent in conditions with high dust concentrations or those containing hard particles.

[0006] In summary, the existing technology has obvious inconveniences and defects in actual use, so it is necessary to improve it. Summary of the Invention

A ventilation pipe connected to the air inlet valve is fixed in one of the mounting holes, and the ventilation pipe extends downward into the air inlet hole and is slidingly and sealingly connected to the piston upper body.

[0011] As an optimized solution, the outer wall of the ventilation pipe is fixedly sleeved with a sealing ring that is in frictional contact with the inner wall of the air inlet hole.

[0012] As an optimized solution, the cylinder head, valve plate and cylinder body are detachably connected, the casing and cylinder body are detachably connected, a crankshaft is rotatably provided inside the casing, a connecting rod is provided between the piston body and the crankshaft, both ends of the connecting rod are rotatably connected to the piston body and the crankshaft, and one end of the crankshaft extends through the casing to the outside and is connected to the driving device.

[0013] As an optimized solution, a plurality of positioning columns are fixed on the top of the piston body, and a plurality of positioning holes are penetrated on the top of the piston upper body and the piston lower body.

[0017] As an optimized solution, the support ring and the fixing ring are both made of non-metallic materials with self-lubricity and low thermal expansion coefficient.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. The rotation of the crankshaft drives the piston body to move vertically back and forth in the cylinder sleeve. The support rings on the upper body of the piston and the outer wall of the piston body are in contact with the cylinder sleeve and provide radial support. The gas on the upper and lower sides of the labyrinth groove undergoes multiple expansions, throttling effects and eddy current dissipation when passing through the labyrinth groove, and finally forms a pressure gradient, which significantly reduces the gas leakage and achieves a sealing effect. When the piston body moves downward, the air pressure inside the cylinder sleeve decreases, and the gas containing dust enters the cylinder sleeve in one direction through the intake valve. When the piston body moves upward, the air pressure inside the cylinder sleeve increases. When the pressure in the cylinder exceeds the back pressure of the outlet valve, the outlet valve is pushed open, and the high-pressure gas containing dust is discharged in one direction through the outlet valve. The gas containing dust enters the cylinder sleeve through the intake valve. During the process of passing through the cylinder sleeve, some dust is adsorbed on the inner wall of the cylinder sleeve. When the piston body moves upward, the fixed ring scrapes the dust adsorbed on the inner wall of the cylinder sleeve to prevent the dust from entering the labyrinth groove. When the piston body moves upward, the air pressure inside the cylinder sleeve increases, and a pressure difference is formed inside and outside. Part of the high-pressure gas in the cylinder sleeve escapes into the labyrinth groove. The high-pressure gas containing dust in the cylinder sleeve must pass through the filter plate when escaping into the labyrinth groove. The filter plate filters the dust in the gas, and the filtered gas enters the labyrinth groove through the circular groove and the connecting channel. The labyrinth piston can effectively prevent solid particles in the medium from entering the labyrinth groove, avoiding abnormal wear of the cylinder sleeve inner wall and the labyrinth groove section due to particle accumulation, and significantly improving the service life of the equipment.

[0020] 2. The retaining ring is made of a non-metallic material with self-lubrication and low thermal expansion coefficient. It cannot work under high pressure differentials (self-lubricating materials will be squeezed and deformed under high pressure differentials). The connecting channel on the piston lower body and the outer wall of the piston main body ensures that the pressure on the upper and lower sides of the retaining ring is equal, effectively preventing the retaining ring from being deformed due to high pressure differentials. In turn, the retaining ring can continuously scrape dust from the inner wall of the cylinder liner to prevent dust from entering the labyrinth groove.

[0021] 3. When the piston body moves downward, the piston upper body and the vent pipe slide relative to each other, the internal air pressure of the cylinder liner decreases, and a pressure difference is formed inside and outside. The external air enters the vent groove through the intake valve and the vent pipe. The gas in the vent groove is sprayed to the top surface of the filter plate through the exhaust hole, thereby blowing up the dust trapped on the top surface of the filter plate to prevent the filter plate from being blocked by dust. Part of the blown gas flows through the connecting channel on the outer wall of the piston lower body, thereby blowing up the dust deposited on the top surface of the fixed ring. The labyrinth piston can effectively prevent dust from depositing on the top surface of the fixed ring and prevent the filter plate from being blocked, thereby improving practicality.

[0022] 4. The labyrinth piston adopts a modular detachable connection design. During maintenance, only the connecting parts need to be removed for repair and replacement, which improves the convenience of maintenance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0038] A sealing ring 11 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the vent pipe 12 and is in frictional contact with the inner wall of the air inlet hole 22 .

[0039] The cylinder head 4, the valve plate 3 and the cylinder body 2 are detachably connected, and the casing 1 and the cylinder body 2 are detachably connected. A crankshaft 5 is rotatably provided inside the casing 1, and a connecting rod 6 is provided between the piston body 14 and the crankshaft 5. Both ends of the connecting rod 6 are rotatably connected to the piston body 14 and the crankshaft 5 respectively.

[0040] A plurality of positioning columns 15 are fixedly provided on the top of the piston body 14 , and a plurality of positioning holes 25 are penetrated through the tops of the piston upper body 19 and the piston lower body 17 . Positioning bolts 20 threadedly connected to the positioning columns 15 are provided in the positioning holes 25 of the piston upper body 19 .

[0041] The outer walls of the piston upper body 19 and the piston main body 14 are provided with a built-in groove 35 around them. The outer walls of the piston upper body 19 and the piston main body 14 are provided with a plurality of insertion grooves 34 along the circumferential direction. The support ring 23 is inserted into the insertion groove 34. The support ring 23 is fixed to the piston upper body 19 or the outer wall of the piston main body 14 by a retaining spring 24, and the retaining spring 24 is located in the built-in groove 35.

[0042] A plurality of fixing columns 29 are fixedly provided at the bottom of the fixing groove 31 of the piston body 14 , and the fixing rings 32 are inserted into the fixing columns 29 .

[0043] The fixing ring 32 and the filter plate 26 are both located between the communicating passage 30 of the piston lower body 17 and the communicating passage 30 of the piston main body 14 .

[0044] The support ring 23 and the fixing ring 32 are both made of non-metallic materials with self-lubricity and low thermal expansion coefficient.

[0045] The working principle of this device is:

[0046] The rotation of the crankshaft 5 drives the piston body 14 to move vertically back and forth in the cylinder liner 7. The piston upper body 19 and the support ring 23 on the outer wall of the piston body 14 are in contact with the cylinder liner 7 and provide radial support. The gas on the upper and lower sides of the labyrinth groove 27 undergoes multiple expansions, throttling effects and eddy current dissipation when passing through the labyrinth groove 27, and finally forms a pressure difference gradient, which significantly reduces the gas leakage, thereby achieving a sealing effect. When the piston body 14 moves downward, the air pressure inside the cylinder liner 7 decreases, and the gas containing dust enters the cylinder liner 7 in a one-way manner through the intake valve 9. When the piston body 14 moves upward, the air pressure inside the cylinder liner 7 increases. When the pressure in the cylinder liner 7 exceeds the back pressure of the outlet valve 8, the outlet valve 8 is pushed open, and the high-pressure gas containing dust is discharged in a one-way manner through the outlet valve 8. The gas containing dust enters the cylinder liner 7 through the intake valve 9. During the internal process, some dust is adsorbed on the inner wall of the cylinder liner 7. When the piston body 14 moves upward, the fixed ring 32 scrapes the dust adsorbed on the inner wall of the cylinder liner 7 to prevent the dust from entering the labyrinth groove 27. When the piston body 14 moves upward, the internal air pressure of the cylinder liner 7 increases, and a pressure difference is formed inside and outside. Part of the high-pressure gas in the cylinder liner 7 escapes into the labyrinth groove 27. The high-pressure gas containing dust in the cylinder liner 7 must pass through the filter plate 26 when escaping into the labyrinth groove 27. The filter plate 26 filters the dust in the gas, and the filtered gas enters the labyrinth groove 27 through the circular groove 28 and the connecting channel 30. The labyrinth piston can effectively prevent solid particles in the medium from entering the labyrinth groove 27, avoiding abnormal wear of the inner wall of the cylinder liner 7 and the labyrinth groove section due to particle accumulation, thereby significantly improving the service life of the equipment.

[0047] The retaining ring 32 is made of a non-metallic material with self-lubrication and a low thermal expansion coefficient. It cannot operate under high pressure differentials (self-lubricating materials would be squeezed and deformed under high pressure differentials). The connecting channel 30 on the outer wall of the piston lower body 17 and the piston main body 14 ensures that the pressure on the upper and lower sides of the retaining ring 32 is the same, effectively preventing the retaining ring 32 from being deformed due to the high pressure differential. This ensures that the retaining ring 32 can continuously scrape dust from the inner wall of the cylinder liner 7 and prevent dust from entering the labyrinth groove 27.

[0048] When the piston body 14 moves downward, the piston upper body 19 and the vent pipe 12 slide relative to each other, the internal air pressure of the cylinder liner 7 decreases, and a pressure difference is formed inside and outside. The external gas enters the vent groove 16 through the intake valve 9 and the vent pipe 12, and the gas in the vent groove 16 is sprayed toward the top surface of the filter plate 26 through the exhaust hole 18, thereby blowing up the dust trapped on the top surface of the filter plate 26 to prevent the filter plate 26 from being blocked by dust. Part of the blown gas flows through the connecting channel 30 on the outer wall of the piston lower body 17, thereby blowing up the dust deposited on the top surface of the fixing ring 32. The labyrinth piston can effectively prevent dust from being deposited on the top surface of the fixing ring 32, and can also prevent the filter plate 26 from being blocked, thereby improving practicality.

[0049] The labyrinth piston adopts a modular detachable connection design. During maintenance, only the connecting parts need to be removed for repair and replacement, which improves the convenience of maintenance.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features therein.
