[0057] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be pointed out that the embodiments are only detailed explanations of the present invention and should not be regarded as limitations of the present invention. All features disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention, or all steps in the methods or processes disclosed, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps, can be combined in any way.

[0058] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical improvements of the present invention, the oil supply structure of a conventional compressor is briefly described first: the oil supply structure includes a crankshaft 10 and a counterweight 20, the counterweight 20 including a counterweight portion 30 and an annular portion 21, the crankshaft 10 having an eccentric shaft 11, and one function of the counterweight portion 30 is to balance the inertial force generated when the eccentric shaft 11 rotates. Therefore, the counterweight portion 30 is usually arranged on the side of the crankshaft 10 opposite to (away from) the eccentric shaft 11. When the compressor is started, the lubricating oil is pumped up from the longitudinal channel 80 of the crankshaft 10, and the pumped lubricating oil falls onto the upper surface of the annular portion 21 of the counterweight 20 through the first gap 96 between the eccentric shaft 11 and the orbiting scroll hub 98. The upper surface of the annular portion 21 of the counterweight 20 receives the lubricating oil and collides with the rotating counterweight 20, thereby splashing onto the orbiting scroll end plate or thrust surface. The lubricating oil needs to enter the upper surface of the ring portion 21 of the counterweight 20 through the longitudinal channel 80 and the first gap 96 in sequence, and then collide with the counterweight 20 to complete the splashing. This oil supply method is slow to oil and the amount of oil supplied is small, which will increase the risk of thrust surface wear.

[0059] Example 1.

[0060] In order to solve the technical problem of poor lubrication effect in the background technology, this embodiment provides an oil supply structure, including a counterweight 20 directly or indirectly mounted on the crankshaft 10, a longitudinal channel 80 for pumping lubricating oil is provided in the crankshaft 10, and at least one of the counterweight 20 and the crankshaft 10 is provided with or connected to an oil supply channel, the oil supply channel is connected to the longitudinal channel 80, and the outlet of the oil supply channel is provided in the non-counterweight area, which is other areas outside the counterweight area. The oil supply channel is constructed to be able to directly supply oil to the movable scroll end plate or the thrust surface. The so-called direct oil supply means that the oil sprayed from the oil supply channel outlet can directly enter the movable scroll end plate or the thrust surface. This method has the highest oil supply efficiency. By setting the outlet of the oil supply channel in the non-counterweight area, the lubricating oil can be supplied through the oil supply channel in addition to the oil supply by collision with the counterweight part 30, and the oil supply areas that can be provided by the oil supply by collision with the counterweight part 30 and the oil supply through the oil supply channel are different, so that the lubrication area of ​​the thrust surface is wider and the lubricating oil can more easily enter the opening side 198.

[0061] Preferably, in order to allow more lubricating oil to enter the opening side 198. The outlet of the oil supply channel is located in the area of ​​the opening side 198 of the thrust surface. At this time, the flow rate (aperture) of the oil supply channel can be controlled so that, except for the lubricating oil that lubricates the movable scroll hub area, the rest of the lubricating oil is supplied to the movable scroll end plate or the thrust surface through the oil supply channel. In the oil supply structure under this structure, the lubricating oil no longer needs to flow through the movable scroll hub position, but is directly supplied to the rotating end plate or the thrust surface through the oil supply channel, which can achieve an extremely short oil supply time. At the same time, there is no temperature rise through the bearing, the oil temperature is lower, and the lubrication effect is better; in addition, the outlet of the oil supply channel directly supplies oil to the opening side 198 accurately, which is conducive to the formation of an oil wedge, thereby generating a fluid dynamic lubrication effect and a better lubrication effect. As for how to realize that the outlet of the oil supply channel is located in the area of ​​the opening side 198 of the thrust surface, when the basic design of the counterweight is completed, the thrust surface contact of the compressor can be simulated and calculated to obtain the attached Figure 2 The thrust surface contact simulation data in is used, and the outlet position of the oil supply channel is set according to the position of the opening side 198 relative to the crankshaft and the counterweight.

[0062] It should be noted that when the outlet position of the oil supply channel is determined, it does not mean that the connection position of the oil supply channel with the counterweight 20 and / or the crankshaft 10 is determined, or in other words, the position of the oil supply channel on the counterweight 20 and / or the crankshaft 10 is determined. Because the oil supply channel is not necessarily installed vertically, it may also be installed at an angle (for example, with Figure 21 Therefore, there is no relationship between the outlet position of the oil supply passage and the connection position of the oil supply passage on the counterweight 20 and / or the crankshaft 10, or the location of the oil supply passage on the counterweight 20 and / or the crankshaft 10.

[0063] Regarding how to set up the oil supply channel, the present invention provides multiple methods:

[0064] Method 1: The oil supply channel is provided in the crankshaft, and a longitudinal channel for pumping lubricating oil is provided in the crankshaft. One end of the oil supply channel is connected to the longitudinal channel, and the other end of the oil supply channel is constructed to face the movable scroll end plate or the thrust surface. Figure 4 The crankshaft 10 is provided with a longitudinal passage 80 and an oil supply passage 106. One end of the oil supply passage 106 is connected to the longitudinal passage 80, and the other end of the oil supply passage 106 is configured to face the orbiting scroll end plate or thrust surface. When oil is introduced into the longitudinal passage 80, some lubricating oil enters the oil supply passage 106 and is directly sprayed onto the orbiting scroll end plate or thrust surface.

[0065] Method 2: The oil supply channel is arranged in the crankshaft and the counterweight. A longitudinal channel for pumping lubricating oil is provided in the crankshaft. The crankshaft and the counterweight both have flow paths. The longitudinal channel is connected to the flow path of the crankshaft, and the flow path of the crankshaft is connected to the flow path of the counterweight. One end of the counterweight flow path is constructed to face the movable scroll end plate or the thrust surface. The flow path of the crankshaft and the flow path of the counterweight constitute the oil supply channel.

[0066] In a specific embodiment, referring to the attached Figure 5 The crankshaft 10 is provided with a first flow path 107, which is communicated with the longitudinal channel 80. Figure 6 A second flow path 108 is provided in the annular portion 21 of the counterweight 20. One end of the second flow path 108 is constructed to face the movable scroll end plate or the thrust surface. When the crankshaft 10 and the counterweight 20 are assembled, the first flow path 107 is connected to the second flow path 108. When oil is introduced into the longitudinal channel 80, part of the lubricating oil will enter the first flow path 107 and flow into the second flow path 108, and finally be directly sprayed onto the movable scroll end plate or the thrust surface. The first flow path 107 in the crankshaft 10 and the second flow path 108 in the counterweight 20 constitute an oil supply channel. In this embodiment, the first flow path 107 and the second flow path 108 are both hole-shaped flow paths.

[0067] Preferably, refer to the attached Figure 6 , the second flow path 108 is straight. Further, the second flow path 108 is inclined.

[0068] Preferably, refer to the attached Figure 7 The second flow path 108 is L-shaped. Regarding how to form the L-shaped second flow path 108, a vertical blind hole and a horizontal blind hole can be machined in the counterweight 20, and the two blind holes can be connected at the same time; alternatively, a vertical blind hole and a horizontal through hole can be machined in the counterweight 20, and the blind hole and the through hole can be connected at the same time, and the through hole on the outer surface of the ring portion 21 can be blocked with a wire plug 109.

[0069] Method three: The oil supply channel is arranged in the crankshaft and on the counterweight. A longitudinal channel for pumping lubricating oil is provided in the crankshaft. A flow path is provided in the crankshaft. The longitudinal channel is connected to the flow path of the crankshaft. The flow path can transport the lubricating oil to the upper surface of the ring portion. An oil guide slope is provided on the ring portion of the counterweight. The oil guide slope allows at least part of the lubricating oil on the upper surface of the ring portion to be transported to the movable scroll end plate or the thrust surface. The flow path of the crankshaft and the oil guide slope on the counterweight constitute the oil supply channel.

[0070] In a specific embodiment, a first flow path 107 is provided in the crankshaft 10, and one end of the first flow path 107 is connected to the longitudinal channel 80. Figure 8The ring portion 21 of the counterweight 20 is provided with an oil guide slope 130. The oil guide slope 130 allows the lubricating oil on the upper surface of the ring portion 21 to be guided to the orbiting scroll end plate or the thrust surface. When the crankshaft 10 and the counterweight 20 are assembled, it is necessary to ensure that the first flow path 107 is not blocked by the ring portion 21, so that the oil flowing out of the first flow path 107 can enter the upper surface of the ring portion 21. When oil is introduced into the longitudinal channel 80, the lubricating oil will enter the first flow path 107 and flow to the upper surface of the ring portion 21. At least part of the lubricating oil is guided by the oil guide slope 130 to the orbiting scroll end plate or the thrust surface. The first flow path 107 in the crankshaft 10 and the oil guide slope on the counterweight 20 constitute an oil supply channel.

[0071] Preferably, blocking surfaces 114 are further provided on the upper surface of the ring portion 21 on both sides of the oil guide slope. The blocking surfaces 114 and the oil guide slope 130 form guide grooves that help guide as much lubricating oil as possible from the upper surface of the ring portion 21 to the orbiting scroll end plate or thrust surface. Furthermore, the blocking surfaces 114 extend to the position of the first flow path 107.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first flow path 107 is a hole-shaped flow path.

[0073] Method 4: An oil pipe is provided or installed on the crankshaft, and a mounting hole is opened in the crankshaft to connect the longitudinal channel and the internal cavity of the compressor. The crankshaft is connected to the oil pipe through the mounting hole. One end of the oil pipe is constructed to face the end plate of the movable scroll or the thrust surface. The hollow area in the oil pipe constitutes the oil supply channel. For details, refer to the attached Figure 9 A first mounting hole 111 is correspondingly formed in the crankshaft 10, connecting the longitudinal passage 80 with the internal cavity of the compressor. The crankshaft 10 is connected to an oil pipe 110 through the first mounting hole 111. One end of the oil pipe 110 is configured to face the orbiting scroll end plate or thrust surface. The hollow area within the oil pipe 110 constitutes an oil supply passage. When oil enters the longitudinal passage 80, some of the lubricating oil is sprayed through the oil pipe 110 onto the orbiting scroll end plate or thrust surface.

[0074] Preferably, the first mounting hole 111 can be arranged horizontally or tilted. Figure 9 , the first mounting hole 111 is arranged obliquely, and the oil pipe 110 is a straight pipe. Figure 10 The first mounting hole 111 is arranged horizontally, and the oil pipe 110 is a bent pipe, such as an L-shaped pipe. The L-shaped oil pipe can be obtained by bending or other processing methods. The bent pipe can be pre-bent or bent after installation.

[0075] Method 5: An oil pipe is provided or installed on the counterweight, a longitudinal channel for pumping lubricating oil is provided in the crankshaft, a flow path is provided in the crankshaft, the longitudinal channel is connected to the flow path in the crankshaft, a mounting hole is provided in the counterweight, the flow path in the crankshaft is connected to the mounting hole in the counterweight, the counterweight is connected to the oil pipe through the mounting hole, one end of the oil pipe is constructed to face the movable scroll end plate or the thrust surface, the flow path in the crankshaft and the hollow area in the oil pipe constitute the oil supply channel. For details, refer to the attached Figure 5 The crankshaft 10 is provided with a first flow path 107, which is communicated with the longitudinal channel 80. Figure 11 A second mounting hole 112 is provided in the annular portion 21 of the counterweight 20. When the crankshaft 10 and the counterweight 20 are assembled, the first flow path 107 is connected to the second mounting hole 112. The oil pipe 110 is installed in the second mounting hole 112. One end of the oil pipe 110 is constructed to face the movable scroll end plate or the thrust surface. The first flow path 107 in the crankshaft 10 and the hollow area in the oil pipe constitute an oil supply channel. When oil is introduced into the longitudinal channel 80, part of the lubricating oil will enter the first flow path 107 and will eventually be sprayed onto the movable scroll end plate or the thrust surface through the oil pipe 110. In method four, the first flow path 107 is a hole-shaped flow path.

[0076] In a specific embodiment, referring to the attached Figure 11 、 12 The second mounting hole 112 is a straight hole that passes through the ring portion 21 , and the oil pipe 110 is a curved pipe, such as an L-shape.

[0077] In a specific embodiment, referring to the attached Figure 13 、 14 The second mounting hole 112 is L-shaped, and the oil pipe 110 is a straight pipe. The L-shaped second mounting hole 112 can be formed by first machining a vertical blind hole and a horizontal blind hole in the counterweight 20, and then connecting the two blind holes. Alternatively, a vertical blind hole and a horizontal through hole can be machined in the counterweight 20, and then connecting the blind hole and the through hole. The through hole on the outer surface of the ring portion 21 can be blocked with a screw plug 109.

[0078] In a specific embodiment, referring to the attached Figure 15 、 16 The second mounting hole 112 is a three-way hole, the oil pipe 110 is a straight pipe, and the end of the oil pipe 110 inserted into the second mounting hole 112 is pointed. When the oil pipe 110 and the second mounting hole 112 are installed, the oil pipe 110 can block one end of the second mounting hole 112. Figure 16 shown.

[0079] Other methods: freely combine any of the methods 1 to 5. Since there are too many free combination methods, the present invention does not list them one by one.

[0080] Preferably, in the fourth and fifth methods, the oil pipe 110 and the counterweight 20 or the crankshaft 10 are connected in an integrated manner, or the oil pipe 110 and the counterweight 20 or the crankshaft 10 are detachably connected. The detachable connection includes plug-in connection, threaded connection or other conventional connection methods, such as the attached Figure 17 Integration can be achieved through powder metallurgy, welding, powder metallurgy + prefabricated tubes, or interference fit.

[0081] In order to allow the lubricating oil to be supplied to the movable scroll end plate or the thrust surface more quickly and comprehensively, the connection position of the oil supply channel and the counterweight 20 and / or the crankshaft 10 is preferably close to one side of the eccentric shaft 11 on the crankshaft, such as in the attached Figure 18 In the solution, the rotation center of the crankshaft 10 is the rotation axis A, and the oil supply channel formed by the first flow path 107 and the hollow area inside the oil pipe 110 is located on the side of the counterweight 20 close to the eccentric shaft 11. This technical solution can bring two advantages:

[0082] 1. Compared with the oil supply channel located on the side of the counterweight 30, the oil supply channel close to the eccentric shaft 11 is farther away from the rotation axis A. Therefore, the oil supply channel located on the side of the eccentric shaft 11 can provide a greater centrifugal force to the lubricating oil in the channel, making it easier for the lubricating oil to be sprayed onto the movable scroll end plate or the thrust surface. Figure 19 , for attachment Figure 18 The scheme in the simulation was simulated, and the simulation result was that the oil pipe can spray the oil directly onto the thrust surface. At the same time, the applicant also conducted a physical simulation test. The physical simulation test was: without installing the movable scroll disk, the top of the longitudinal channel was sealed with an oil plug (the seal here completely simulates the characteristics and flow channel of the movable scroll hub during the actual operation of the compressor, and will not affect the experimental results) to simulate the movable scroll hub 98, and add a layer of plastic wrap above the crankshaft counterweight to directly observe the oil supply to the thrust surface. In the physical simulation test, when the compressor was started for 1 second, lubricating oil appeared on the plastic wrap, that is, the oil pipe 110 can spray the lubricating oil directly onto the movable scroll end plate / thrust surface of the compressor. Compared with an assembled upward channel structure shown in Example 3 of Patent No. CN119288869A, it still needs to rely on an annular channel to increase the oil pressure. The present invention sets the oil supply channel on one side of the eccentric shaft 11. Without setting an annular channel, it can achieve an efficient upward oil supply effect and has a lower manufacturing cost. For example, the attached Figure 18 The solution only needs to open through holes in the crankshaft and the counterweight respectively on the basis of the existing structure and install the oil pipe 110 to achieve the above functions, which simplifies the structure and facilitates processing.

[0083] 2. The oil supply channel close to the side of the eccentric shaft 11 will help to supplement the oil supply area of ​​the thrust surface. In the prior art, the thrust surface is lubricated only by throwing oil through the counterweight part 30, and the lubrication area is limited. In the solution of the present invention, there is an oil supply channel on one side of the eccentric shaft 11, and the eccentric shaft 11 is located on the opposite side of the counterweight part 30. At this time, the oil supply channel can supply oil to the area that was originally unable to be lubricated, making the lubrication area complete. This solution is applicable to all compressors. Even if the thrust surface contact is not simulated, since the lubrication area of ​​the compressor is complete at this time, it can also ensure that the opening side 198 is sufficiently lubricated.

[0084] Although the technical solution of the present invention allows technicians to directly supply oil from the oil supply channel to the orbiting scroll or thrust surface without providing an annular groove, in some cases, technicians still want to increase the oil pressure in the oil supply channel. Preferably, the oil supply structure also includes an annular groove, which is provided on the counterweight and / or crankshaft, and is configured to communicate with the longitudinal channel and the oil supply channel. In some embodiments, an annular groove 81 is provided on the crankshaft 10. When the crankshaft and the counterweight are assembled, a closed annular groove is formed, which communicates with the longitudinal channel and the oil supply channel.

[0085] The technicians of the present invention tested oil supply channels with different inner diameters and found that the inner diameter of the oil supply channel is preferably 1-6 mm, and more preferably, 2-4 mm.

[0086] Example 2.

[0087] This embodiment provides a compressor having any one of the oil supply passages in embodiment 1.
