Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rotary compressor technology and relates to a rotary compressor sealing structure. Background Technology

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, during operation, the rotary compressor discharges the compressed gas into the silencer P1, and finally discharges it through the through-hole in the pump body. Figure 1 As shown by the middle arrow (path S1), the sealing effect is not ideal because the cylinder head P2 and the muffler P1 are pressed together by the cylinder head end face P4 of the cylinder head boss P3 and the muffler ring P5 on the inner wall of the muffler P1.

[0003] On the one hand, when the compressed gas is expelled and enters the crankshaft through the poorly sealed cylinder head end face P4, Figure 1 As indicated by the middle arrow (path S2), bubbles are generated, which disrupts the establishment of the oil film, causing wear on the short shaft. The bursting of bubbles also makes the oil film uneven, thereby weakening the lubrication effect of the pump body and reducing reliability. On the other hand, the gas dissolves into the oil, reducing the amount of refrigerant participating in the circulation, thus leading to a decline in performance.

[0004] Patent CN103362816A discloses a rotary compressor, including a washer integrally formed from a planar ring and cylindrical ribs erected along the outer periphery of the ring. The ring of the washer is pressed against the entire surface of the lower boss end face of the lower bearing constituting the compression mechanism by a discharge muffler, and the ribs of the washer engage with the inner circumferential surface of the lower boss of the lower bearing. However, the function of the washer ribs in this patent is to fix the washer to the lower cylinder head boss, and the airtightness still mainly relies on the pressure between the muffler boss and the ring of the washer. The sealing effect of the ring of the washer, as a planar end face, pressing against the muffler boss is still not ideal.

[0005] Patent CN110319009A discloses a rotary compressor and its oil supply sealing structure. This oil supply sealing structure includes a cylinder head, a lower exhaust muffler cover, a tray, and a sealing gasket. The cylinder head has an annular boss with a limiting protrusion on its inner edge. The sealing gasket is fitted over the limiting protrusion, and the tray presses the sealing gasket against the annular boss. The lower exhaust muffler cover is fixedly connected to the cylinder head and presses against the tray. However, this patent, on the one hand, increases the number of components by including the sealing gasket and tray, increasing costs and improving installability; on the other hand, the increased number of components increases the number of contact pairs between parts, potentially leading to welding leaks and failing to fundamentally solve the airtightness problem; while the tray and oil suction pipe compress the sealing gasket (hard-soft) to solve the sealing problem, the contact point between the protrusion of the lower exhaust muffler cover and the tray creates a new contact pair (hard-hard), potentially creating new leakage points. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art and provide a rotary compressor sealing structure. This invention can effectively strengthen the seal between the cylinder head and the muffler, and has the advantages of convenient installation and being less prone to falling off or shifting.

[0007] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] One of the technical solutions of the present invention is to provide a rotary compressor sealing structure, which includes a muffler, a sealing bushing, and a cylinder head.

[0009] The cylinder head includes a disc-shaped portion and a cylinder head boss disposed on the disc-shaped portion, the end face of which is configured as the cylinder head end face.

[0010] The sealing bushing is fitted onto the outer wall of the cylinder head boss. The end face of the sealing bushing away from the junction of the cylinder head boss and the disc-shaped part is designated as the upper end face of the bushing, and the end face closer to the junction is designated as the lower end face of the bushing.

[0011] The muffler is provided with a muffler ring that protrudes into the muffler and abuts against the cylinder head end face.

[0012] After the sealing bushing is installed, the upper end face of the bushing is higher than the end face of the cylinder head;

[0013] During the installation of the muffler, the muffler convex ring is pressed against the cylinder head end face, and the sealing bushing higher than the cylinder head end face is compressed and deformed to fit against the curved surface of the outer periphery of the muffler convex ring, sealing the muffler convex ring and the cylinder head boss inside.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner wall of the sealing bushing is in the form of an inverted frustum, the inner diameter D1 of the upper end face of the bushing is smaller than the outer diameter d of the cylinder head boss (D1 < d), and the outer diameter d of the cylinder head boss is not greater than the inner diameter D2 of the lower end face of the bushing (d ≤ D2).

[0015] When the sealing bushing is assembled, since the inner diameter D1 of the upper end face of the bushing is smaller than the outer diameter d of the cylinder head boss (D1 < d), the cylinder head boss is pressed against the upper part of the sealing bushing, and the upper part of the sealing bushing undergoes compression deformation to fit against the outer wall of the cylinder head boss. The interference fit makes the upper part of the sealing bushing hold tightly, increasing the sealing effect.

[0016] Since the outer diameter d of the cylinder head boss is not greater than the inner diameter D2 of the lower end face of the bushing (d≤D2), the lower part of the sealing bushing is squeezed by the upper end face, filling the space between the lower part and the outer wall of the cylinder head boss. The deformation of the upper part of the sealing bushing during the assembly process forces the lower part of the sealing bushing to tighten, thereby increasing the sealing effect.

[0017] Furthermore, there is a gap between the lower end face of the bushing and the disc-shaped portion of the cylinder head.

[0018] Furthermore, the material of the sealing bushing is selected from a soft material such as rubber or silicone.

[0019] Furthermore, there are other assembly and limiting processes between the sealing bushing and the cylinder head boss, and the inner wall of the sealing bushing and the outer wall of the cylinder head boss are in a concave-convex fit.

[0020] Furthermore, the inner wall of the sealing bushing is provided with one or more of the following: protrusions and grooves, and the outer wall of the cylinder head boss is correspondingly provided with one or more of the following: grooves and protrusions.

[0021] Furthermore, the shape of the protrusion is selected from one or more of the following: protruding ring, protruding ridge, and protruding dot.

[0022] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion is selected from one or more of the following: semicircle, square, and triangle.

[0023] Furthermore, the triangle is a right triangle, with one of the upper or lower sides of the protrusion being a right-angled side and the other being a hypotenuse.

[0024] Furthermore, the inner wall of the sealing bushing is spirally connected to the outer wall of the cylinder head boss.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] (1) The present invention adds a sealing bushing to the outside of the cylinder head boss to achieve a sealing effect;

[0027] (2) The sealing bushing of the present invention is radially fitted with the cylinder head boss to increase the sealing effect and prevent loosening;

[0028] (3) After the sealing bushing of the present invention is assembled with the cylinder head boss, the upper end face of the sealing bushing is slightly higher than the cylinder head end face of the cylinder head boss. When the muffler is installed, the upper end face of the bushing contacts the muffler and is squeezed. After the sealing bushing is assembled, the sealing effect is increased by increasing the sealing contact area.

[0029] (4) When the sealing bushing in this invention is correctly assembled, it can effectively strengthen the seal between the cylinder head and the muffler, avoid the problem of exhaust gas entering the pump body during operation to form bubbles, destroy the oil film and reduce reliability, and reduce the amount of refrigerant participating in the circulation by dissolving gas into the oil, thereby reducing performance; at the same time, it has the advantages of convenient installation and not easy to fall off or shift.

[0049] Example 1:

[0050] A rotary compressor sealing structure, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes a muffler 1, a sealing bushing 2, and a cylinder head 3.

[0051] The cylinder head 3 includes a disc-shaped portion and a cylinder head boss 31 disposed on the disc-shaped portion. The end face of the cylinder head boss 31 is configured as a cylinder head end face 32.

[0052] The sealing bushing 2 is fitted onto the outer wall of the cylinder head boss 31. The end face of the sealing bushing 2 away from the junction of the cylinder head boss 31 and the disc-shaped part is designated as the upper end face 21 of the bushing, and the end face closer to the junction is designated as the lower end face 22 of the bushing.

[0053] The muffler 1 is provided with a muffler convex ring 11 that protrudes into the muffler 1, and the muffler convex ring 11 abuts against the cylinder head end face 32.

[0054] After the sealing bushing 2 is installed, the upper end face 21 of the bushing should be slightly higher than the cylinder head end face 32;

[0055] When the muffler 1 is installed, the muffler convex ring 11 is pressed against the cylinder head end face 32. The sealing bushing 2, which is higher than the cylinder head end face 32, will be compressed and deformed to fit against the curved surface of the outer periphery of the muffler convex ring 11, sealing the muffler convex ring 11 and the cylinder head boss 31 inside.

[0056] Example 2:

[0057] A rotary compressor sealing structure, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it is basically the same as in Embodiment 1, except that the inner wall of the sealing bushing 2 can be machined into an inverted frustum shape, that is, the inner diameter D1 of the upper end face 21 of the bushing is smaller than the outer diameter d of the cylinder head boss 31, and the outer diameter d of the cylinder head boss 31 is not greater than the inner diameter D2 of the lower end face 22 of the bushing (D1<d≤D2).

[0058] The sealing bushing 2 can be made of soft materials such as rubber or silicone, and in this embodiment, rubber is preferred;

[0059] During the assembly of the sealing bushing 2, since the inner diameter D1 of the upper end face 21 of the bushing is smaller than the outer diameter d of the cylinder head boss 31 (D1 < d), the cylinder head boss 31 is pressed against the upper part of the sealing bushing 2, and the upper part of the sealing bushing 2 will undergo compression deformation to fit against the outer wall of the cylinder head boss 31. The interference fit makes the upper part of the sealing bushing 2 hold tightly, increasing the sealing effect.

[0060] Since the outer diameter d of the cylinder head boss 31 is not greater than the inner diameter D2 of the lower end face 22 of the bushing (d≤D2), the lower part of the sealing bushing 2 is squeezed by the upper end face, filling the space between the lower part and the outer wall of the cylinder head boss 31. The deformation of the upper part of the sealing bushing 2 during the assembly process forces the lower part of the sealing bushing 2 to tighten, thereby increasing the sealing effect.

[0061] Example 3:

[0062] A rotary compressor sealing structure, such as Figure 6 As shown, it is basically the same as in Embodiment 1, except that the lower end face 22 of the bushing can be spaced apart from the disc-shaped part of the cylinder head 3.

[0063] Examples 4 to 9:

[0064] A rotary compressor sealing structure, such as Figure 7 As shown, it is basically the same as in embodiment 3, except that there should be other assembly limiting processes between the sealing bushing 2 and the cylinder head boss 31. There should be at least one limiting process between the inner wall of the sealing bushing 2 and the outer wall of the cylinder head boss 31 for concave-convex fit. The inner wall of the sealing bushing 2 is provided with protrusions, grooves, etc., and the outer wall of the cylinder head boss 31 is provided with corresponding grooves, protrusions, etc. The shape of the protrusions includes protruding rings, protruding ridges, protruding points, etc., and the cross-sectional shape includes semi-circular, square, triangular, etc., to prevent the sealing bushing 2 from shifting downward during the operation of the compressor after assembly, thereby losing the sealing effect.

[0065] Example 4:

[0066] A rotary compressor sealing structure, such as Figure 8 As shown, the inner wall of the sealing bushing 2 is provided with a protrusion, and the outer wall of the cylinder head boss 31 is provided with a corresponding groove. The protrusion is a raised ring, and the cross-sectional shape is a semi-circular shape.

[0067] Example 5:

[0068] A rotary compressor sealing structure, such as Figure 9 As shown, the inner wall of the sealing bushing 2 is provided with a protrusion, and the outer wall of the cylinder head boss 31 is provided with a corresponding groove. The protrusion is a raised ridge and the cross-sectional shape is square.

[0069] Example 6:

[0070] A rotary compressor sealing structure, such as Figure 10 As shown, the inner wall of the sealing bushing 2 is provided with a protrusion, and the outer wall of the cylinder head boss 31 is provided with a corresponding groove. The protrusion is a raised point, and the cross-sectional shape is a triangle. The triangle is a right triangle, with the lower side of the protrusion being a right-angled side and the upper side being a hypotenuse.

[0071] Example 7:

[0072] A rotary compressor sealing structure, such as Figure 11 As shown, the inner wall of the sealing bushing 2 is provided with a groove, and the outer wall of the cylinder head boss 31 is provided with a corresponding protrusion. The protrusion is a raised ring in shape and a semi-circular cross-section.

[0073] Example 8:

[0074] A rotary compressor sealing structure, such as Figure 12 As shown, the inner wall of the sealing bushing 2 is provided with a groove, and the outer wall of the cylinder head boss 31 is provided with a corresponding protrusion. The protrusion is shaped as a ridge and has a square cross-section.

[0075] Example 9:

[0076] A rotary compressor sealing structure, such as Figure 13 As shown, the inner wall of the sealing bushing 2 is provided with a groove, and the outer wall of the cylinder head boss 31 is provided with a corresponding protrusion. The protrusion is a raised dot, and the cross-sectional shape is a triangle. The triangle is a right triangle, with the upper side of the protrusion being a right-angled side and the lower side being a hypotenuse.

[0077] Example 10:

[0078] A rotary compressor sealing structure is basically the same as that in Embodiment 3, except that the inner wall of the sealing bushing 2 is spirally connected to the outer wall of the cylinder head boss 31.

[0079] The above description of the embodiments is provided to enable those skilled in the art to understand and use the invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to these embodiments, and the general principles described herein can be applied to other embodiments without inventive effort.
