Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an exhaust cover for a scroll compressor, belonging to the technical field of electric scroll compressors. Background Art
[0002] The scroll compressor of automobile air conditioner has high requirements on the oil content of discharged high-pressure gas. If the oil content of refrigerant gas is too high, an oil film will be formed on the wall of condenser and evaporator tube, which will affect the heat exchange effect of automobile air conditioning system, resulting in reduced refrigeration efficiency, and even insufficient oil return of scroll compressor, causing wear and jam of dynamic and static scroll disks, thus reducing the service life of scroll compressor. Nowadays, more and more passenger cars require compressors to operate in heat pump conditions. The ambient temperature is low, the compatibility of oil and refrigerant becomes worse, and oil return becomes more difficult. Therefore, it is very necessary to design an oil separation mechanism for automobile air conditioner scroll compressor.
[0003] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The working process of the oil separator is as follows: the oil-gas mixture discharged from the compressor exhaust chamber enters the exhaust port of the exhaust cover in the high-pressure chamber formed by the inner wall and the fixed plate, and flows in a rotational direction between the oil separator insert and the inner wall of the oil separator cylinder. The liquid particles in the mixture are thrown out by centrifugal force and gathered on the inner wall of the oil separator cylinder, and finally fall to the bottom of the oil separator cylinder. The refrigerant enters the small hole in the middle of the oil separator insert, is discharged from the exhaust joint port and enters the condenser, and the separated lubricating oil flows back to the back pressure chamber under the action of gas pressure. In order to avoid the situation where the compressor exhaust pressure is too high due to certain abnormal conditions, causing damage to the compressor, a safety valve is provided on the exhaust cover. The safety valve is connected to the high-pressure chamber formed by the inner wall and the fixed plate. When the pressure in the inner wall cavity exceeds the safety value, the air pressure will push open the safety valve, causing the pressure in the inner cavity to drop, thereby protecting the compressor.
[0004] When designing compressor solutions for different customers, we found a problem with the above design: different customers have different requirements for compressor appearance, but the required displacement is basically the same, that is, the mature compressor internal structure can be used in the design to meet customer needs by changing the outer shell. Figure 3, the position of the exhaust joint varies due to customer requirements, which is reflected in the design of the exhaust cover, that is, the values of A, B, and C are different. Because the oil return hole is connected to the oil return hole on the fixed plate, and the position of the fixed plate has been fixed due to the design of other structures of the compressor, the position of the oil return hole cannot be changed. If it is changed, the fixed plate needs to be redesigned, which increases the cost. If the oil return function is to be completed, the inner wall of the oil separator cylinder needs to be connected to the oil return hole, but A, B, and C cannot be connected to the oil return hole under certain values, resulting in the separated oil cannot return to the compressor. When the distance between the oil return hole and the inner wall of the exhaust hole oil separator is small, an oblique hole can be drilled to connect them, but the processing requires additional tooling and fixtures. When the distance between the two is large, it is impossible to connect them by processing the oblique hole, and there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that the existing automobile air-conditioning compressor exhaust cover exhaust joint hole position has a small degree of freedom in design. When the inner wall of the oil separator cylinder and the oil return hole can be connected by processing an inclined hole, it is necessary to increase the processing steps and tooling fixtures.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a scroll compressor exhaust cover, which can increase the design freedom of the exhaust hole without changing the oil separation design and the fixed plate design, reduce the processing difficulty, reduce the processing steps, and avoid adding tooling fixtures.
[0007] In order to achieve the above technical objectives and the above technical effects, this application is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0013] The scroll compressor exhaust cover provided by the utility model has the following advantages:
[0014] 1. When the utility model is used, the threaded bottom hole position of the safety valve is changed without adding any additional structure. The safety valve is still connected to the high-pressure chamber and the pressure relief function still exists. Therefore, the original structural function is not lost, and the design freedom of the exhaust hole joint hole position is greatly increased.
[0015] 2. The scroll compressor exhaust cover of the utility model can be used universally for compressors with the same displacement, avoiding the need to design a new fixed plate and reducing development costs.
