[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides a compressor comprising a cylinder head 1, a muffler 2, and a seal 3. The cylinder head 1 has a stepped structure 11 formed on its peripheral edge, with the stepped structure 11 forming a stepped surface along the horizontal direction. The muffler 2 includes a receiving cavity 21 and an opening communicating with the receiving cavity 21. The edge of the opening extends horizontally to form a crimping surface 22. The cylinder head 1 is inserted into the receiving cavity 21 and fixed to the muffler 2. The crimping surface 22 is crimped onto the stepped surface, with the seal 3 sandwiched between the two, thereby achieving a seal around the axis of the cylinder head 1.

[0038] For example, the muffler 2 is a device for reducing the airflow noise and mechanical vibration noise generated during the operation of the compressor. The muffler 2 is sleeved on the outside of the cylinder head 1. When the cylinder head 1 is assembled with the muffler 2 along the axial direction, the cylinder head 1 is only partially inserted into the accommodating cavity 21. A seal 3 is clamped between the step surface of the cylinder head 1 and the crimping surface 22 of the muffler 2. In this way, the sealing of the circumferential edge between the muffler 2 and the cylinder head 1 is completed, the sealing performance between the two is improved, and the oil output rate of the compressor can be reduced.

[0039] Exemplarily, the opening edge of the muffler 2 is folded outward and extends horizontally to form a crimping surface 22 .

[0040] Optionally, the step structure 11 includes a first end face 111, a second end face 112 and a third end face 113, which are parallel to each other and distributed in sequence in the axial direction of the cylinder head 1, and the second end face 112 is formed on the outer peripheral side of the first end face 111.

[0041] Optionally, in the axial direction of the cylinder head 1, the dimension of the cylinder head 1 is H, the depth of the accommodating cavity 21 of the muffler 2 is H1, the distance between the second end face 112 and the third end face 113 is H2, and the dimension H3 of the seal 3 satisfies the following relationship: H1 + H2 + H3 < H. In this way, the sealing effect between the muffler 2, the seal 3, and the cylinder head 1 can be ensured, and leakage between the muffler 2 and the journal portion 12 of the cylinder head 1 can be prevented.

[0042] Furthermore, the muffler 2 further includes a fourth end surface. When the crimping surface 22 abuts the second end surface 112 in the axial direction of the cylinder head 1 , the fourth end surface abuts the first end surface 111 in the axial direction of the cylinder head 1 .

[0043] Optionally, the sealing member 3 is a rubber member.

[0044] With such an arrangement, the seal 3 can undergo elastic deformation. When the cylinder head 1 and the muffler 2 are assembled along the axial direction of the cylinder head 1, the seal 3 is squeezed by the second end face 112 and the crimping surface 22, and can undergo elastic deformation, thereby filling the gap between the second end face 112 and the crimping surface 22 to form a seal.

[0045] Optionally, the sealing member 3 is an O-ring or a circular gasket.

[0046] Optionally, the step surface is a plane, and the width of the step surface, the width of the sealing member 3 and the width of the crimping surface 22 are all equal.

[0047] Exemplarily, the second end face 112 and the crimping surface 22 are both planes. When the muffler 2 is assembled with the cylinder head 1, the second end face 112 is parallel to the crimping surface 22. In the axial projection of the cylinder head 1, the projections of the second end face 112, the crimping surface 22 and the seal 3 are all circular rings with the axis of the cylinder head 1 as the center. The inner diameter of the second end face 112 is r1 and the outer diameter is R1. The inner diameter of the crimping surface 22 is r2 and the outer diameter is R2. The inner diameter of the seal 3 is r3 and the outer diameter is R3, satisfying the following: r1=r2=r3; R1=R2=R3.

[0048] Optionally, a groove 114 is formed on the step surface, the sealing member 3 is disposed in the groove 114 , and the crimping surface 22 can press the sealing member 3 against the bottom of the groove 114 .

[0049] Exemplarily, a groove 114 is formed on the second end face 112, and the depth direction of the groove 114 is parallel to the axial direction of the cylinder head 1. The cross-section of the groove 114 is U-shaped, including a first wall, a second wall and a third wall, wherein the first wall is arranged parallel to the third wall, and in the radial direction of the cylinder head 1, the third wall is located on the outside of the first wall, the second wall connects the first wall and the third wall, the second wall serves as the bottom of the groove 114, and the first wall and the third wall are the two side walls of the groove 114.

[0050] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, there is an embodiment in which the seal 3 is completely disposed in the groove 114, that is, the thickness of the seal 3 is less than the depth of the groove 114. When the muffler 2 and the cylinder head 1 are assembled, the crimping surface 22 of the muffler 2 can be at least partially inserted into the groove 114 along the axial direction, so that the seal 3 abuts the bottom of the groove 114.

[0051] like Figure 6 As shown, there is another embodiment in which the seal 3 is only partially located in the groove 114 and the other part extends out of the groove 114, that is, the thickness of the seal 3 is greater than the depth of the groove 114. When the muffler 2 and the cylinder head 1 are assembled, the seal 3 is clamped between the crimping surface 22 and the second end face 112. The crimping surface 22 squeezes the seal 3 so that the seal 3 abuts the bottom of the groove 114.

[0052] Optionally, the cylinder head 1 further includes a journal 12, and the muffler 2 includes a bottom wall 2a and a first peripheral side wall 2b. The first peripheral side wall 2b is connected end to end to form a cylindrical structure. The first peripheral side wall 2b and the bottom wall 2a are fixed to form an accommodating cavity 21. In the axial direction of the cylinder head 1, the journal 12 abuts the bottom wall 2a of the muffler 2. In this way, the abutment achieves a seal between the journal 12 and the bottom of the muffler 2.

[0053] Optionally, a boss 23 is provided on the bottom wall 2 a of the muffler 2 toward the accommodating cavity 21 , and an end of the journal portion 12 of the cylinder head 1 abuts against the boss 23 along the axial direction of the cylinder head 1 .

[0054] Exemplarily, the boss 23 is arranged in a circular shape around the axis of the cylinder head 1, and the end of the shaft neck 12 of the cylinder head 1 abuts against the boss 23, which can reduce the contact area between the shaft neck 12 and the bottom wall 2a of the muffler 2, and can reduce the process requirements for the shaft neck 12 and / or the muffler 2.

[0055] Preferably, the radial cross section of the boss 23 is semicircular, that is, the surface of the boss 23 is arc-shaped.

[0056] Optionally, a second peripheral side wall 115 is formed between the second end surface 112 and the first end surface 111 , and an outer surface of the second peripheral side wall 115 is gap-fitted with an inner wall of the muffler 2 .

[0057] For example, when the muffler 2 is assembled with the cylinder head 1 , the cylinder head 1 is inserted into the muffler 2 along the axial direction, and the clearance between the second circumferential side wall 115 and the first circumferential side wall 2 b is matched, making it easier to assemble the cylinder head 1 with the muffler 2 .

[0058] A refrigeration device is also provided, comprising the above-mentioned compressor.

[0059] Furthermore, the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions are possible for those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
