The upper cylinder head 32 and the lower cylinder head 35 cooperate with each other to support the crankshaft 31 and seal the compression chamber of the cylinder 33 to ensure the normal operation of the pump assembly.

[0023] The housing 1 has openings at both the top and bottom. Inside the housing 1, there are a main body cavity and a liquid storage cavity 63 distributed radially to the left and right, with a partition wall 11 extending axially between them. The main body cavity includes a motor cavity 61 and a pump body cavity 62 connected sequentially from top to bottom. The motor assembly is disposed in the motor cavity 61, and the cylinder 33 of the pump body assembly is disposed in the pump body cavity 62.

[0024] Preferably, the housing 1 is made of aluminum alloy.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the assembly method of the rotary compressor provided by the present invention includes the following steps: S1: Insert the stator 21 from the top opening of the housing 1 into the motor cavity 61, and complete the assembly of the pump body assembly outside the housing 1.

[0026] Specifically, the stator 21 is installed in the motor cavity 61 using a heat-shrink process. The pump body assembly includes fitting the upper cylinder head 32 and the lower cylinder head 35 onto both sides of the cylinder 33, and then allowing the crankshaft 31 to pass through the upper cylinder head 32, the cylinder 33, the piston 34, and the lower cylinder head 35. Further, a suction pipe 7 is also provided in the liquid storage cavity 63; step S1 also includes installing the suction pipe 7 in the liquid storage cavity 63 and inserting it into the refrigerant outlet 631.

One end of the air intake channel 331 passes through the end face of the pump body assembly, and the other end is connected to the inner cavity of the cylinder 33. The upper end face of the pump body assembly is attached to the lower end face of the liquid storage chamber 63, so that the refrigerant outlet 631 is connected to the air intake channel 331.

[0029] S4: While ensuring the clearance between the rotor 22 and the stator 21, fix the pump body assembly and the housing 1. Preferably, the pump body assembly and the housing 1 are fixed by welding.

[0030] S5: Complete the electrical connection of the motor assembly, merge and fix the upper cover 51 at the top of the housing 1, and merge and fix the lower cover 52 at the bottom of the housing 1, sealing the main body cavity and the liquid storage cavity 63. Specifically, the upper cover 51 and the lower cover 52 are both fixedly connected to the housing 1 by multiple bolts.

[0031] In summary, the present invention provides an assembly method for an integrated rotary compressor, which can achieve a tight connection between the pump body assembly and the housing, and the assembly method is simple and accurate to operate.

[0032] Furthermore, step S4 also includes forming a stepped surface 12 at the junction of the motor cavity 61 and the pump body cavity 62, and a connecting part is provided on the outer periphery of the pump body assembly. The upper end face of the pump body assembly is attached to the stepped surface 12, and a fastener 4 is used to pass through the connecting part and the stepped surface 12 to fasten the two together. The fastener 4 is specifically a bolt. The stepped surface 12 and the lower end face of the liquid storage cavity 63 are located on the same horizontal plane, which facilitates the vertical insertion of the fastener 4 and helps to improve the connection tightness between the pump body assembly and the stepped surface 12.

[0033] The pump body assembly specifically has the following two embodiments.

[0034] like Figure 1As shown, in Embodiment 1 of the pump body assembly, the connecting portion includes a first connecting lug 322 extending outward from the outer periphery of the main body portion 321 of the upper cylinder head 32, and a first connecting hole is provided on the first connecting lug 322. Meanwhile, one end of the intake passage 331 passes through the main body portion 321 and is connected to the refrigerant outlet 631.

[0035] In Embodiment 1 using the pump body assembly, step S4 further includes: abutting the first connecting lug 322 against the stepped surface 12, and passing the fastener 4 through the first connecting hole and the mounting hole on the stepped surface 12 to achieve a secure connection between the first connecting lug 322 and the stepped surface 12. In the rotor compressor of Embodiment 1 with the pump body assembly assembled, the main body 321 is located in the pump body cavity 62, and the journal 323 is located in the motor cavity 61, with the main body 321 separating the motor cavity 61 and the pump body cavity 62.

Meanwhile, an intake passage 331 is formed on the cylinder wall of the cylinder 33 and communicates with the refrigerant outlet 631.

[0037] In Embodiment Two using the pump body assembly, step S4 further includes: abutting the second connecting lug 332 against the stepped surface 12, and passing the fastener 4 through the second connecting hole and the mounting hole on the stepped surface 12 to achieve a secure connection between the second connecting lug 332 and the stepped surface 12. In the rotor compressor of Embodiment Two with the pump body assembly assembled, the cylinder 33 separates the motor cavity 61 and the pump body cavity 62, while the upper cylinder cover 32 is completely located within the motor cavity 61.

[0038] Furthermore, to ensure the clearance between the stator 21 and the rotor 22, step S2 further includes providing a plurality of positioning components on the pump body assembly and / or housing 1. Each positioning component includes a positioning pin and a positioning hole. When the rotor 22 is inserted into the stator 21, the clearance between the rotor 22 and the stator 21 is ensured by aligning the positioning pin and the positioning hole. For example, a first positioning hole is provided on the upper cylinder cover 32 or cylinder 33 of the pump body assembly, and a second positioning hole is provided on the stepped surface 12. The positioning pin passes through the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole in sequence to achieve relative positioning between the pump body assembly and the stepped surface 12.

[0039] Furthermore, a seal is provided at least one of the following three locations: between the refrigerant outlet 631 and the suction channel 331, between the top of the housing 1 and the upper cover 51, and between the bottom of the housing 1 and the lower cover 52, to ensure a gas-tight connection and prevent gas leakage. Specifically, the seal is a rubber sealing ring.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
