Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of compressors, and specifically provides a cylinder and compressor with a gas replenishment structure. Background Technology
[0002] Conventional rotary compressors consist of a distributor, upper cover assembly, housing assembly, lower cover, pump body, motor, and refrigerant oil, and are used in heat pump heating systems. When the outdoor ambient temperature is below -15 degrees Celsius, the compressor's heating capacity is severely reduced because the refrigerant in the heat pump system has a low suction density at low evaporation temperatures. A common method to address this low-temperature performance reduction is medium-pressure gas injection technology. This technology introduces a portion of medium-pressure gas into the cylinder compression chamber through a medium-pressure gas injection channel. This gas mixes with the partially compressed refrigerant, is further compressed, and then discharged into the system. This increases the refrigerant flow rate in the condenser and the enthalpy difference in the heat pump system circuit. Consequently, rotary compressors using medium-pressure gas injection technology can significantly improve their low-temperature heating capacity and operate reliably over the long term, solving problems such as low-temperature heating capacity reduction and excessively high exhaust temperatures.
[0003] Existing medium-pressure gas-injected rotary compressors used in heat pump systems can effectively reduce the attenuation of heating capacity at low temperatures and improve low-temperature performance. Currently, there are two commonly used gas injection schemes for medium-pressure gas-injected rotary compressors: one is the roller cutting gas injection scheme, and the other is the check valve gas injection scheme. The check valve gas injection scheme typically involves arranging a gas injection channel and installing a gas injection check valve on the cylinder or pump body partition (dual cylinder). The check valve opens or closes the gas injection channel, thus enabling or disabling gas injection. For example, Chinese patent application CN105971879 B discloses a rotary compressor and its vane assembly, which includes a gas injection channel, valve plate, and baffle on the vane body; however, the gas injection effect of this scheme is unsatisfactory.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, this invention improves the air replenishment effect of the air replenishment structure by adjusting the cross-sectional area of the radial air replenishment channel and the cross-sectional area of the axial air replenishment channel. Since the two ends of the radial air replenishment channel are connected to the air replenishment device and the axial air replenishment channel respectively, the larger the cross-sectional area of the radial air replenishment channel, the greater the amount of air replenished from the air replenishment device into the radial air replenishment channel, and the better the air replenishment effect. Although increasing the cross-sectional area of the axial air replenishment channel can also increase the air replenishment effect, since the axial air replenishment channel is located close to the inside of the cylinder, increasing the size of the axial air replenishment channel would greatly increase the processing difficulty. Therefore, this invention limits the size of the axial air replenishment channel and increases the cross-sectional area of the radial air replenishment channel, effectively improving the air replenishment effect of the air replenishment structure and enhancing the low-temperature heating performance.
[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mounting groove is directly set on the end face of the cylinder, and the axial air supply channel, radial air supply channel and connecting groove are directly set on the cylinder. Compared with the method of setting them on the sliding vane and then installing the sliding vane in the sliding vane groove, the solution in this embodiment is easier to design and manufacture. Moreover, the valve cover is installed between the mounting groove and the pump body partition, which makes the installation method more reliable and the sealing performance better.

[0041] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.
[0042] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," and "outer," which indicate direction or positional relationships, are based on the direction or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are used merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the relevant devices or elements must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention. Furthermore, ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0043] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0044] Furthermore, in order to more clearly demonstrate the core technical solution of the present invention, the description of the known structure of the compressor is omitted in the following description. However, this omission is only for the convenience of description and does not mean that the compressor can be without these structures.
[0045] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the present invention proposes a cylinder with a gas replenishment structure, comprising: a cylinder 1, which has an installation groove 11 on its end face facing the pump body partition 43, an axial gas replenishment channel 12 at the bottom of the installation groove 11, a radial gas replenishment channel 13 and a connecting groove 14 on the cylinder 1, one end of the radial gas replenishment channel 13 being connected to a gas replenishment device 44, which is a gas replenishment liquid separator, and the other end being connected to the axial gas replenishment channel 12, wherein the cross-sectional area of the radial gas replenishment channel 13 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the axial gas replenishment channel 12; a valve cover 2, which is disposed in the installation groove 11, forming a clearance space 21 between the valve cover 2 and the installation groove 11, and a flow groove 24 on the valve cover 2, the clearance space 21 being connected to the compression chamber through the flow groove 24 and the connecting groove 14; and a gas replenishment valve 3, which is closably disposed between the clearance space 21 and the axial gas replenishment channel 12.
[0046] The medium-pressure gas in the gas replenishment device 44 enters the radial gas replenishment channel 13 and the axial gas replenishment channel 12 in sequence. If the gas replenishment valve 3 is closed, the clearance space 21 and the axial gas replenishment channel 12 are not connected, and the medium-pressure gas cannot flow into the clearance space 21 and cannot be replenished. If the gas replenishment valve 3 is open, the clearance space 21 and the axial gas replenishment channel 12 are connected, and the medium-pressure gas flows from the axial gas replenishment channel 12 into the clearance space 21, and then flows into the compression chamber of the cylinder 1 through the connecting groove 14 for gas replenishment.
[0047] In this embodiment, to address the problem of poor air replenishment effect in existing air replenishment structures, the cross-sectional area of the radial air replenishment channel 13 is set to be larger than that of the axial air replenishment channel 12. This is because the two ends of the radial air replenishment channel 13 are connected to the air replenishment device 44 and the axial air replenishment channel 12, respectively. A larger cross-sectional area of the radial air replenishment channel 13 allows for a greater amount of air replenishment from the air replenishment device 44 into the radial air replenishment channel 13, resulting in a better air replenishment effect. Increasing the cross-sectional area of the axial air replenishment channel 12 can also improve the air replenishment effect. However, since the axial air replenishment channel 12 is located close to the inside of the cylinder, increasing its size would significantly increase the manufacturing difficulty. Therefore, in this embodiment, the preferred range for the diameter D1 of the axial air replenishment channel 12 is: 2mm ≤ D1 ≤ 5mm.
[0048] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mounting groove 11 is directly set on the end face of the cylinder 1, and the axial air supply channel 12, radial air supply channel 13 and connecting groove 14 are directly set on the cylinder 1. Compared with the method of setting them on the sliding plate and then installing the sliding plate in the sliding plate groove, the solution in this embodiment is easier to design and process. Moreover, the valve cover 2 is installed between the mounting groove 11 and the pump body partition 43. This installation method is more reliable and has better sealing performance.
[0049] In this embodiment, by adjusting the cross-sectional area of the radial air supply channel 13 and the cross-sectional area of the axial air supply channel 12, the air supply effect of the air supply structure can be effectively improved, the low-temperature heating performance can be enhanced, and the design and processing can be facilitated.
[0050] When both the radial air supply channel 13 and the axial air supply channel 12 have circular cross-sections, the diameter of the radial air supply channel 13 is greater than the diameter of the axial air supply channel 12, which makes the cross-sectional area of the radial air supply channel 13 greater than the cross-sectional area of the axial air supply channel 12.
[0051] It should be noted that, Figure 3 Both the radial air supply channel 13 and the axial air supply channel 12 have circular cross-sections. However, this is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the basic principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can set the cross-sections of the radial air supply channel 13 and the axial air supply channel 12 to other shapes, as long as the air supply device 44 can be connected to the clearance space 21 and the cross-sectional area of the radial air supply channel 13 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the axial air supply channel 12. For example, setting the cross-sections of the radial air supply channel 13 and / or the axial air supply channel 12 to rectangles, etc., does not depart from the principles of the present invention and therefore falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the air replenishment valve 3 includes: a valve body 31, which is disposed in the clearance space 21 and has an installation through hole 32; and a valve plate 33, which is located in the installation through hole 32. The valve plate 33 includes a connecting part 34 and a movable part 35. One end of the connecting part 34 is disposed on the inner wall of the installation through hole 32, and the other end is connected to the movable part 35. The movable part 35 is closably covered on the air outlet of the axial air replenishment channel 12. The movable part 35 is opened and closed under the pressure difference between the clearance space 21 and the axial air replenishment channel 12.
[0053] When the replenishment pressure is less than the refrigerant pressure in the cylinder volume, the pressure in the axial replenishment channel 12 is less than the pressure in the clearance space 21. Under the action of the pressure difference, the movable part 35 in the clearance space 21 covers the outlet of the axial replenishment channel 12, the replenishment valve 3 is closed, the clearance space 21 and the axial replenishment channel 12 are not connected, the medium-pressure gas cannot flow into the clearance space 21, and replenishment cannot be performed.
[0054] When the replenishment pressure is greater than the refrigerant pressure in the cylinder volume, the pressure in the axial replenishment channel 12 is greater than the pressure in the clearance space 21. The movable part 35 in the clearance space 21 is blown toward the valve cover 2 under the action of the pressure difference, the replenishment valve 3 opens, and the clearance space 21 is connected to the axial replenishment channel 12. The medium-pressure gas flows from the axial replenishment channel 12 into the clearance space 21, and then flows into the compression chamber of the cylinder 1 through the connecting groove 14 for replenishment.
[0055] Furthermore, when the cross-sectional shape of the axial air supply channel 12 is circular, its diameter is D1, and the cross-section of the movable part 35 is also circular, with a diameter of D. In this embodiment, in order to enable the movable part 35 to completely cover the air outlet of the axial air supply channel 12 and enhance the sealing performance of the air supply structure to prevent air leakage, D needs to be greater than D1. However, the movable part 35 cannot be too large, as this would increase the force required when it is blown up. Therefore, the difference between the diameter of the axial air supply channel 12 and the diameter of the movable part 35 is limited to: 0.5mm < D - D1 < 1mm.
[0056] It should be noted that although the diameter of the axial air supply channel 12 is specified above, those skilled in the art can use other shapes of movable parts 35 without departing from the basic principles of the present invention, as long as the movable part 35 can cover the axial air supply channel 12. For example, the cross-section of the movable part 35 can be set to rectangular, etc., which do not depart from the principles of the present invention and therefore will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, in order to better fix the air supply valve 3, the valve cover 2 is provided with a protrusion 22, and the valve body 31 located around the valve plate 33 is pressed against the bottom surface of the mounting groove 11 by the protrusion 22. Figure 4A flow groove 24 is provided on the protrusion 22 at a position corresponding to the connecting groove 14, so that the clearance space 21 is connected to the connecting groove 14. A receiving groove 23 is provided in the middle of the protrusion 22, and the valve plate 33 is received in the receiving groove 23. The receiving groove 23 and the mounting groove 11 form a clearance space 21, and the movable part 35 opens and closes within the clearance space 21.
[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, the bottom surface of the receiving groove 23 is inclined away from the moving part 35. The end face of the protrusion 22 adjacent to the valve body 31 forms a certain angle θ with the bottom surface of the receiving groove 23, where 3° < θ < 12°. The bottom surface of the receiving groove 23 is used to limit the lift of the moving part 35. Therefore, the angle θ cannot be too large or too small. If it is too small, it will easily lead to unsmooth air supply. If it is too large, it will be difficult for the moving part 35 to return to the initial position, which will result in the inability to accurately cover the axial air supply channel 12. Therefore, setting the range of θ to 3° < θ < 12° is more appropriate.
[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 6-7 As shown, the width of the receiving groove 23 along the first direction is greater than the width of the connecting part 34 along the first direction. Since the middle of the protrusion 22 is the receiving groove 23, this can avoid the protrusion 22 interfering with the opening of the connecting part 34. Figure 7 The X direction is used to represent the first direction.
[0060] The position on the mounting through hole 32 corresponding to the connection between the movable part 35 and the connecting part 34 has a width difference of ΔL with the inner wall of the receiving groove 23 in the first direction, where 0.3mm < ΔL < 0.6mm. The smaller the width of the connection between the movable part 35 and the connecting part 34 in the first direction, the smaller the force required for the movable part 35 to be blown up.
[0061] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of the flow channel 24 and / or the connecting channel 14 cannot be too small. If it is too small, it will obstruct the air supply, resulting in high flow resistance and large air supply loss. However, the cross-sectional area of the flow channel 24 and / or the connecting channel 14 cannot be too large either. If it is too large, it will increase the clearance volume of the air supply and reduce the energy efficiency of the compressor. In this embodiment, preferably: the thickness of the valve cover 2 along the axial direction is H1, where 3mm < H1 < 10mm; the depth of the flow channel 24 along the axial direction is h, where 0.5mm < H1 - h < 1.5mm; the width of the flow channel 24 along the first direction is W, where 1mm < W < 3mm. The depth of the connecting channel 14 along the axial direction is h1, where 1mm < h1 < 2mm; the width of the connecting channel 14 along the first direction is M, where 1mm < M < 3mm.
[0062] To avoid axial height assembly errors, the depth of the flow groove 24 is slightly greater than the depth of the connecting groove 14.
[0063] like Figure 5-7 As shown, since the valve plate 33 includes two parts, a connecting part 34 and a movable part 35, in order to cover the axial air supply channel 12, the size of the movable part 35 is larger than the size of the axial air supply channel 12. In order to facilitate the blowing of the movable part 35, the width of the connecting part 34 along the first direction is relatively narrow. In order to reduce the air supply clearance volume formed by the receiving groove 23 and the flow groove 24, the shape of the connecting groove 14 has also been adapted. The connecting groove 14 is also divided into two parts: the first groove is wider along the first direction to accommodate the movable part 35, and the second groove is narrower along the first direction to accommodate the connecting part 34. Figure 4-6 As shown, for ease of processing and manufacturing, the first groove and the cross-section of the first groove are rectangular.
[0064] It should be pointed out that, although Figure 4 and Figure 6 The first groove and its cross-section shown are rectangular, but this is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the basic principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can set the first groove and its cross-section to other shapes, as long as it does not affect the opening and closing of the valve plate 33. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the first groove can be the same as the cross-sectional shape of the movable part 35, such as a circle, etc. These do not depart from the principles of the present invention and therefore fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0065] Furthermore, the valve cover 2 is made of an elastic material. The elastic material can be rubber or similar materials, and the hardness of the valve cover 2 can be 20HS to 40HS. In this embodiment, the elastic valve cover 2 can effectively fix the air supply valve 3 and reduce the air supply clearance volume between the valve cover 2 and the mounting groove 11, thereby improving the volumetric efficiency and performance of the compressor.
[0066] Furthermore, when the valve cover 2 is made of an elastic material, the radial length of the valve cover 2 is slightly greater than the radial length of the mounting groove 11. This way, after the valve cover 2 is installed in the mounting groove 11, a gap can be avoided between the valve cover 2 and the mounting groove 11. The gas supplied can then pass through the flow groove 24 and directly enter the compression chamber through the connecting groove 14, preventing the supplied gas from entering the gap between the valve cover 2 and the mounting groove 11 and creating additional gas supply clearance, which would affect the gas supply effect.
[0067] Furthermore, the thickness of the air supply valve 3 is H, the thickness of the valve cover 2 is H1, and the depth of the mounting groove 11 is H2, where 0.2 < H + H1 - H2 < 0.5 mm. Since the valve cover 2 is made of an elastic material, the sum of the thickness of the air supply valve 3 and the valve cover 2 is slightly greater than the depth of the mounting groove 11. This allows the valve cover 2 to deform during installation, making the installation more stable and allowing the air supply valve 3 to be better secured.
[0068] During installation, cylinder 1 is installed adjacent to pump body partition 44, and valve cover 2 is installed in the mounting groove 11 on the end face of cylinder 1 facing pump body partition 43. When the sum of the thickness of the air supply valve 3 and the thickness of valve cover 2 is slightly greater than the depth of mounting groove 11, the air supply valve 3 will be squeezed and undergo elastic deformation during installation, making the installation more stable. It can also prevent gaps from appearing in valve cover 2, reduce the air supply clearance volume, and improve compressor performance.
[0069] A compressor includes a first cylinder 41 and a second cylinder 42 formed by cylinders having a gas-injection structure as described above, and a pump body partition 43; the first cylinder 41 is axially disposed on one side of the second cylinder 42, and the pump body partition 43 is disposed between the first cylinder 41 and the second cylinder 42; it also includes: a gas-injection device 44 communicating with the gas-injection structure, a crankshaft 45 disposed in the cylinder, an upper bearing assembly 46 and a lower bearing assembly 47 for supporting the crankshaft 45, and a compressor housing 48.
