Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of compressor technology, and in particular to a fixed-scroll axial flexible scroll compressor. Background Technology

[0002] Existing hermetic scroll compressors have a partition plate in the pressure vessel, and within the low-pressure chamber separated by the partition plate, there are stationary and moving scrolls, as well as an electric actuator that drives the moving scroll. The refrigerant is compressed by the meshing of the stationary and moving scroll blades, and finally discharged into the high-pressure chamber through the exhaust port in the center of the stationary scroll. Because the stationary and moving scrolls are located on the low-pressure side, they generate forces in opposite directions during operation. To ensure the airtightness of the compression chamber, it is preferable to apply back pressure to either the moving or stationary scroll, causing their tooth tips to seal and improving compression efficiency.

[0003] However, in this method, the fixed vortex may sometimes overturn due to the force of the gas in the compression chamber.

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned existing technologies, it is necessary to research and design a new type of fixed-scroll axial flexible anti-tipping compressor to overcome the problems existing in the existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problem of overturning caused by axial floating of a fixed vortex compressor, a fixed vortex axial flexible anti-overturning compressor is provided.

[0006] The technical means employed in this invention are as follows: A fixed-scroll axially flexible anti-tipping compressor includes a sealed container formed by welding an upper cover, a lower cover, and a shell; a high-low pressure isolation assembly is provided at the upper part of the sealed container to divide a high-pressure space and a low-pressure space; a main support component is strongly connected to the upper middle part of the shell by welding; a floating mechanism is provided between the high-low pressure isolation assembly and the main support component; the floating mechanism consists of a moving scroll, a fixed scroll, and a cross ring to prevent the moving scroll from rotating; the scroll blades of the fixed scroll and the moving scroll cooperate to form a compression chamber; the fixed scroll is connected to the main support component by a cylindrical steel pin, which restricts the fixed scroll in the circumferential and radial directions; the moving scroll floats axially with the high-low pressure isolation assembly; the floating mechanism and the main support component are located within the low-pressure space; an annular channel is machined on the upper surface of the fixed scroll, and the high-low pressure isolation plate assembly seals the annular channel; Furthermore, the distance between the outer periphery R of the fixed vortex blade tooth tip and the center of the main support component accounts for 30% to 40% of the shell diameter D; by applying back pressure to the fixed vortex, the anti-overturning torque generated by the contact between the fixed vortex and the moving vortex can be increased, which can make the fixed vortex operate more stably, while meeting the size requirements of the cylindrical steel pin.

[0007] Furthermore, the fit width K between the outer circular through hole of the fixed vortex and the cylindrical steel pin accounts for 70% to 90% of the exposed length L of the cylindrical steel pin. Based on this structural relationship, the point of convergence of the radial and tangential gas forces generated by the meshing of the fixed and moving vortexes is within the range of K. The width K covers 70% to 90% of the exposed cylindrical steel pin, preventing point contact and reducing the risk of jamming when the fixed vortex floats axially. This relationship also effectively provides line contact space, preventing the fixed vortex from overturning.

[0008] Furthermore, the diameter of the housing ranges from Ф160mm to Ф180mm; if the diameter is too small, it is not conducive to the setting of the cylindrical steel pin, the anti-overturning torque of the fixed vortex is insufficient, and it is easy to cause the fixed vortex to overturn. If the diameter is too large, it is easy to cause the high and low partition assembly to be inaccurate in centering, which will cause the fixed vortex to tilt due to the structure of the partition assembly, resulting in reduced energy efficiency and also making the fixed vortex prone to overturning.

[0009] Furthermore, the main body of the high-low voltage isolation assembly is a high-low voltage isolation plate set above the fixed vortex, and its lower end face is provided with a limiting groove for restricting the axial movement of the fixed vortex. Furthermore, an annular fixing ring is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the high and low voltage isolation plate, and the lower end of the annular fixing ring extends into the interior of the annular channel; there is a gap between the lower end face of the annular fixing ring and the bottom of the annular channel. Furthermore, the annular fixing ring has a convex structure, and a first sealing ring and a second sealing ring are respectively assembled between the inner and outer edges of the upper surface of the lower protrusion and the high and low pressure isolation plate; Furthermore, the outer edge of the first sealing ring is located between the annular fixing ring and the inner wall of the annular channel; Furthermore, the outer edge of the second sealing ring is located between the inner wall of the annular channel and the high and low pressure isolation plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner and outer edges of the upper end face of the annular fixing ring are machined with tiny protrusions, which are used to compress the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring, respectively, to achieve a better sealing effect.

[0011] Furthermore, the high and low pressure isolation components and the annular channel form a medium pressure chamber.

[0012] Furthermore, a medium-pressure hole communicating with the compression chamber is provided on the fixed vortex at the bottom of the medium-pressure chamber. Gas in the compression chamber enters the medium-pressure chamber through the medium-pressure hole, and under the action of gas pressure, the fixed vortex and the moving vortex are axially sealed.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The fixed scroll axial flexible anti-tipping compressor provided by the present invention has a distance R between the outer periphery of the fixed scroll blade tooth tip and the center of the main support component that accounts for 30% to 40% of the shell diameter D. By applying back pressure to the fixed scroll, the anti-tipping torque generated by the contact between the fixed scroll and the moving scroll can be increased, which can make the fixed scroll run more stably, while meeting the size requirements of the cylindrical steel pin. 2. The fixed-scroll axially flexible anti-tipping compressor provided by this invention, through the mating width K of the fixed-scroll outer circular through hole and the cylindrical steel pin, accounts for 70% to 90% of the exposed length L of the cylindrical steel pin. This ensures that the resultant force of the radial and tangential gas forces generated by the meshing of the fixed and moving scrolls is within the range of K, and the width K covers 70% to 90% of the exposed cylindrical steel pin, avoiding point contact when the fixed scroll floats axially, thus preventing the risk of jamming. This relationship also effectively provides line contact space, preventing the fixed scroll from tipping over. 3. The fixed-scroll axial flexible anti-tipping compressor provided by this invention limits the diameter of the housing to between Ф160mm and Ф180mm. This facilitates the setting of cylindrical steel pins and prevents the high and low partition assemblies from becoming too large and thus ensuring energy efficiency and improving volumetric efficiency.

[0014] The combination of the above three factors can effectively reduce the risk of overturning in a fixed vortex. Furthermore, for an integrated partition structure, the shell diameter in this range is easier to process, resulting in higher positioning accuracy and lower processing costs.

[0015] In summary, the technical solution of this invention solves the problem of overturning that occurs easily when a fixed vortex floats axially in the prior art. Attached Figure Description
