Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of compressor technology, and in particular to an installation structure and method for a lower silencer of a horizontal compressor. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, compressors are classified into horizontal compressors and vertical compressors based on their installation method. Horizontal compressors are widely used in refrigerators, air conditioners, and other applications due to their advantages such as low center of gravity and low vibration. The lower silencer is a key component in horizontal compressors used to reduce exhaust noise. Compared to vertical compressors, horizontal compressors have an additional oil suction pipe structure in their lower silencer, commonly referred to as an oil suction hood. Due to this design difference, horizontal compressors cannot be assembled with the lower cylinder head and oil suction hood as a single unit as vertical compressors. This characteristic necessitates step-by-step or independent installation procedures for related components in the assembly process of horizontal compressors to ensure proper connection and sealing performance between the oil suction hood and the lower cylinder head, thereby guaranteeing the overall stability and reliability of the compressor's operation.
[0003] The existing assembly scheme for the lower silencer of a horizontal compressor is usually as follows: first, the lower cylinder head is assembled to the pump body using several concentric bolts. After the rotor is pressed in and its positioning is ensured, another set of bolts is used to assemble the lower silencer (i.e., the oil suction hood) to the pump body. However, this assembly method has obvious shortcomings: on the one hand, the assembly process of the lower silencer and the lower cylinder head needs to share the same set of assembly equipment. This not only places higher demands on the machining accuracy, positioning function, and assembly torque of the assembly equipment, but may also lead to excessive occupation of equipment resources, affecting overall production efficiency. On the other hand, the lower silencer is fixed with only a small number of bolts, and the bolts are not evenly distributed, which can easily lead to uneven stress during assembly, resulting in poor sealing or even leakage problems. For horizontal compressors, if refrigerant leakage occurs inside the lower silencer, it will directly affect the compressor's working performance and significantly shorten its service life.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an installation structure and method for the lower silencer of a horizontal compressor to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

The plurality of second mounting holes are opened one-to-one with the second lugs. The plurality of second lugs and the plurality of first lugs are axially corresponding to each other. The second bolt passes through the second mounting hole and is connected to the corresponding first lug.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution for the installation structure of the lower muffler of the above-mentioned horizontal compressor, the lower muffler has a downward flange protruding from its outer periphery toward the lower cylinder head. The downward flange is attached to the outer peripheral wall of the lower cylinder head. The thickness of the lower muffler is t, the height of the lower cylinder head is h1, and the height of the downward flange is h2. Wherein, h1, t and h2 satisfy: t < h2 ≤ (t + 0.8h1).
[0016] As a preferred technical solution for the installation structure of the lower silencer of the above-mentioned horizontal compressor, the length of the second bolt is h3, wherein h1, t and h3 satisfy: t<h3≤(t+0.5h1).

Similarly, each of the second bolts corresponds to one of the second mounting holes, with the second bolts passing through the second mounting holes and connecting to the lower cylinder head.

[0043] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0044] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment provides an installation structure for a lower muffler of a horizontal compressor. The installation structure includes: a lower cylinder head 1, a lower muffler 2, multiple first bolts 3 and multiple second bolts 4. The lower cylinder head 1 has multiple first mounting holes 111, and the lower muffler 2 has multiple second mounting holes 211. The first mounting holes 111 and the second mounting holes 211 are arranged radially offset along the lower cylinder head 1. The multiple first bolts 3 are correspondingly set with the multiple first mounting holes 111, and each first bolt 3 passes through the corresponding first mounting hole 111 and is connected to the pump body section of the horizontal compressor. The multiple second bolts 4 are correspondingly set with the multiple second mounting holes 211, and each second bolt 4 passes through the corresponding second mounting hole 211 and is connected to the lower cylinder head 1. This design differs from the existing assembly method where the lower cylinder head 1 and lower muffler 2 share a single set of bolt holes. Instead, the bolt holes for assembling the lower cylinder head 1 and lower muffler 2 are separated, with each using its own independent first mounting hole 111 and second mounting hole 211 for fixation. This significantly simplifies the assembly process and improves assembly efficiency. Furthermore, due to the structural characteristics of the lower muffler 2, the torque required for its assembly is relatively low, allowing for manual assembly without the need for additional tooling. This further reduces the operational difficulty during assembly, improves installation efficiency and convenience, and helps reduce the risk of component damage due to improper torque, thereby enhancing overall assembly quality and reliability.
[0045] Alternatively, please refer to the appendix. Figure 2As shown, the center of the lower muffler 2 and the center of the lower cylinder head 1 are on the same axis. Multiple first mounting holes 111 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the lower cylinder head 1, and the center of the multiple first mounting holes 111 is located on the first section circle with a diameter of PCD1. Multiple second mounting holes 211 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the lower muffler 2, and the center of the multiple second mounting holes 211 is located on the second section circle with a diameter of PCD2. The outer diameter of the lower cylinder head 1 is D1, where D1, PCD1 and PCD2 satisfy: PCD1 < PCD2 < D1. This configuration, by optimizing the spatial layout of the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 211, evenly distributes the clamping force, increases the effective contact area, and forms a more continuous sealing ring, thereby significantly improving the end-face sealing performance and reducing the risk of lubricating oil or working medium leakage from the joint. It also provides more usable space for the installation of the lower cylinder head 1 and the lower muffler 2, enabling separate assembly of the two components. Furthermore, during assembly, the aforementioned dimensional differences facilitate precise positioning and installation by operators, reducing assembly difficulty and improving production efficiency. The smaller pitch circle diameter also reduces uneven bolt stress, resulting in a more reasonable load distribution among the bolts, thus extending the service life of the bolts and connections and improving the overall system reliability.
[0046] In this embodiment, there are four first bolts 3 and four second bolts 4. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of first bolts 3 and two bolts 4 can be set according to actual needs, and no further limitation is made here.
[0047] Alternatively, please refer to the appendix. Figure 3 As shown, the lower muffler 2 has a cavity 212. The cavity 212 forms a sufficiently concave accommodating cavity or flared structure in the area corresponding to the axial distribution of the first bolts 3. The inner diameter of the cavity 212 is D2, and the diameter of the head of the first bolt 3 is D3. D2, PCD1, and D3 satisfy: D2 > PCD1 + D3. This setting allows for precise design and positioning of relevant structural components. Through reasonable layout, the cavity 212 of the lower muffler 2 effectively covers all the first bolts 3. This ensures assembly stability while providing dust and impact protection for the connection parts of the first bolts 3, avoiding potential safety hazards or performance impacts caused by exposed first bolts 3. This enhances the durability and safety of the structure. It not only avoids interference from external protruding parts on the airflow field and acoustic performance but also helps maintain the flatness and integrity of the compressor's external structural outline. Furthermore, it effectively increases the volume of the cavity 212, resulting in a significant improvement in noise levels.
[0048] In this embodiment, the pump body section is encapsulated within the housing 6 of the horizontal compressor. The pump body section includes an upper cylinder 7, a lower cylinder 8, an intermediate plate 9, and an upper cylinder head 10. The intermediate plate 9 is encapsulated between the upper cylinder 7 and the lower cylinder 8. The upper cylinder 7 and the lower cylinder 8 are encapsulated between the upper cylinder head 10 and the lower cylinder head 10. The upper muffler 13 is installed to the upper cylinder head 10. The first bolt 3 passes through the first mounting hole 111, the lower cylinder 8, and the intermediate plate 9 in sequence, and is connected to the upper cylinder 7. The inner diameter of the housing 6 is D0, and the outer diameters of the lower cylinder 8 and the upper cylinder 7 are both D, wherein D, D1, and D0 satisfy: D < D1 ≤ D0. Of course, in other embodiments, the pump body section can also be configured with a single cylinder.
[0049] Optionally, the outer diameter of the lower muffler 2 is D4, where D1, D4, and D0 satisfy: D1≤D4<D0. With this setting, the outer diameter of the lower muffler 2 should not be less than the outer diameter of the lower cylinder head 1 to ensure the compatibility and sealing performance of the two during assembly, prevent leakage or functional failure due to insufficient size, and ensure that the lower muffler 2 can completely cover and tightly fit the outer circular surface of the lower cylinder head 1.
[0050] Optionally, the lower muffler 2 has a convex ring portion 11, which is located at the center of the cover 201 and has an inner hole. The lower cylinder head 1 has a protruding journal 12, and the inner hole wall is interference-fitted with the outer wall of the journal 12. The interference fit can directly form a high-strength, gapless physical connection. This fit causes the end face of the journal 12 to undergo radial elastic deformation after being pressed into the convex ring portion 11 of the lower muffler 2, thereby establishing continuous compressive stress and friction on the contact surface. This not only effectively resists axial displacement and circumferential rotation, ensuring accurate structural positioning and reliable connection, but also forms a continuous physical barrier on the sealing interface, significantly preventing lubricating oil leakage.
[0051] It should be noted that if the outer diameter of the lower cylinder head 1 is large, in order to ensure good flow of refrigerant gas and oil inside the housing 6, several first flow holes 14 can be added to the lower cylinder head 1. The size of the first flow holes 14 should be as large as possible while ensuring the mounting surface of the first bolt 3. At the same time, several second flow holes corresponding to the first flow holes 14 are added to the lower muffler 2. However, it is not required that the outer circular surface design of the lower cylinder head 1 be the same as the end face design of the lower muffler 2.
[0052] Specifically, this embodiment provides the following exemplary technical solution: Please refer to the appendix. Figures 5 to 8As shown, to further meet the space constraints of the small shell diameter and reduce manufacturing costs, the lower cylinder head 1 includes a cylinder head body 101 and a plurality of first lugs 102. The cylinder head body 101 is disc-shaped, with a journal 12 protruding from the center of the cylinder head body 101. The plurality of first lugs 102 protrude from the outer peripheral wall of the cylinder head body 101, and a plurality of first mounting holes 111 are formed in the cylinder head body 101. The lower muffler 2 includes a cover 201 and a plurality of second lugs 202. The plurality of second lugs 202 protrude circumferentially from the outer peripheral wall of the cover 201, and a plurality of second mounting holes 211 are formed one-to-one with the plurality of second lugs. The plurality of second lugs 202 and the plurality of first lugs 102 are axially corresponding to each other. The second bolt 4 passes through the second mounting hole 211 and is connected to the corresponding first lug 102. Further, there are four first lugs 102, which are evenly arranged circumferentially.
[0053] Alternatively, please refer to the appendix. Figure 9 As shown, the lower muffler 2 has a lower flange 5 protruding from its outer periphery toward the lower cylinder head 1. The lower flange 5 is attached to the outer peripheral wall of the lower cylinder head 1. This arrangement can effectively enhance the sealing between the two by tightly fitting the lower flange 5 with the outer peripheral wall of the lower cylinder head 1, reducing noise leakage and gas leakage caused by gaps, thereby improving the overall system's quietness and operational stability.
[0054] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the continuity of the lower flange 5. The lower flange 5 does not have to adopt the traditional continuous folding edge, but can be designed as a segmented intermittent folding edge or a corrugated structure according to specific needs.
[0055] In this embodiment, the thickness of the lower muffler 2 is t, the height of the lower cylinder head 1 is h1, and the height of the lower flange 5 is h2, wherein h1, t and h2 satisfy: t < h2 ≤ (h1 + t).
[0056] Furthermore, t < h2 ≤ (t + 0.8h1), where t < h2, fundamentally stipulates that the lower flange 5 must exist and be effective, ensuring that the height of the lower flange 5 must be greater than the thickness of the lower muffler 2, thereby forming an annular wrapping structure with sufficient sidewall height. This allows the lower flange 5 to provide a stable contact surface with the outer peripheral wall of the lower cylinder head 1 and provides the necessary space for the installation (such as O-ring grooves, gasket pressing surfaces) or welding of related sealing elements. Meanwhile, h2 ≤ 4(h1 + t) / 5 ensures that the lower flange 5 does not extend beyond the bottom of the lower cylinder head 1. This forcibly reserves a theoretical space of up to 20% of the height of the cylinder head body 101 as an assembly safety margin. While ensuring assembly accuracy, this further avoids unnecessary interference with other components during installation or use, reduces the risk of damage, and improves the durability and safety of the product. Furthermore, this structure provides a clear design space for the dimensional tolerance allocation of each related part, allowing the parts to be assembled in a qualified manner within a certain tolerance range. It optimizes the overall assembly process of the lower muffler 2 and the lower cylinder head 1, simplifies the installation steps, improves production efficiency, and ensures the adaptability and reliability of the compressor under different operating conditions.
[0057] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the second bolt 4 is fixed only inside the lower cylinder head 1 and that the length of the second bolt 4 does not exceed the contact end face between the lower cylinder head 1 and the lower cylinder 8, so as to avoid interference with other structural components during assembly, the bolt length of the second bolt 4 is h3, where h1, t and h3 satisfy: t < h3 ≤ (h1 + t), which realizes axial compression and fixation, and its length constraint ensures the effectiveness of the connection and internal safety.
[0058] Furthermore, t < h3 ≤ (t + 0.5h1). This setting, by limiting the length of the second bolt 4 to no more than half of the total structural height (h1 + t), achieves a dual effect: on the one hand, this length restriction ensures that the second bolt 4 can be connected by countersunk head or blind hole screwing in from one side, making the non-operating side surface flat, optimizing the internal flow field and simplifying assembly; on the other hand, this restriction forces at least half of the axial space to be reserved for the internal functional structures (such as the muffler cavity and airflow channel) of the lower cylinder head 1 and the lower muffler 2, thereby maximizing the aerodynamic performance and space utilization efficiency of the compressor while meeting the fastening requirements.
[0059] It should be noted that, in order to save costs and reduce changes in process tooling, the outer circular end face of the lower cylinder head 1, which is larger than that of the lower cylinder 8, can retain the original blank shape and does not require finishing processing. The height h1 of the cylinder head body 101 is less than h. That is, the finishing surface of the lower cylinder head 1 is still a circular surface with a diameter of D, the same as the finishing surface of the lower cylinder 8, and the same set of machining equipment can be used without additional modification to the equipment.
[0060] This embodiment also provides an installation method for a horizontal compressor lower silencer, applicable to the installation structure of the horizontal compressor lower silencer in the above scheme, including the following steps:
[0061] S100: First, use the upper eccentric bolts to fix the upper cylinder head 10 and the upper cylinder 7, then use the lower eccentric bolts to assemble the intermediate plate 9 and the lower cylinder 8, and then use multiple first bolts 3 to assemble the lower cylinder head 1 to the pump body section.
[0062] S200: The rotor of the horizontal compressor.
[0063] S300: The lower muffler 2 is manually assembled to the lower cylinder head 1 using multiple second bolts 4.
[0064] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
