Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the oil guide plate mechanism of a scroll refrigeration compressor, and particularly to an oil guide plate mechanism for a scroll refrigeration compressor. Background Technology
[0002] When scroll compressors are used for refrigeration or heat pump applications, the poor miscibility between refrigeration oil and refrigerant can cause them to separate into layers over a long period of time. The upper part of the oil sump contains more refrigeration oil, while the lower part contains more refrigerant. In traditional structures, the oil suction pipe is inserted directly into the lower part of the oil sump. When the compressor is started, a large amount of liquid refrigerant will be drawn in, resulting in poor lubrication of the friction surfaces and damage to the compressor.
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, it is necessary to study and design a new type of scroll refrigeration compressor oil guide plate mechanism to overcome the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The prior art addresses the technical problem of oil guide pipes being inserted into the bottom of the oil sump, leading to the intake of a large amount of liquid refrigerant during startup, causing poor lubrication of the friction surfaces and resulting in compressor damage. This invention provides an oil guide plate mechanism for a scroll-type refrigeration compressor. The main feature of this invention is the arrangement of an oil guide plate within the oil sump, dividing it into upper and lower sections. The system prioritizes drawing refrigerant oil from the upper section, reducing the impact of refrigerant oil stratification on the compressor.
[0005] The technical means adopted in this utility model are as follows:
[0006] An oil guide plate mechanism for a scroll refrigeration compressor includes: an oil suction pipe, a lower cover, and a compressor cylinder; the lower part of the compressor cylinder and the lower cover form an oil sump; the oil suction pipe is inserted into the oil sump;
[0007] Furthermore, an oil guide plate is installed inside the oil tank;
[0008] Furthermore, the oil suction pipe is inserted into the oil guide plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the oil guide plate consists of a flat plate and a cylinder;
[0010] Furthermore, the cylinder is positioned at the lower center of the oil guide plate;
[0011] Furthermore, the center of the oil guide plate has a through hole identical to that of the cylinder.
[0012] Furthermore, the oil suction pipe is inserted into the interior of the cylinder at the bottom of the oil guide plate;
[0013] Furthermore, a relatively wide annular channel is formed between the oil suction pipe and the cylinder.
[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the inside of the lower cover, with a narrow gap between them.
[0015] Furthermore, the plate is located in the upper layer of refrigeration oil after the refrigeration oil and refrigerant oil have separated due to long-term standing.
[0016] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0017] Dividing the oil tank into upper and lower layers through physical measures and rationally allocating the flow area to create different resistances, and prioritizing the extraction of refrigeration oil from the upper part of the oil tank, will reduce the impact of refrigeration oil stratification.
[0018] The flat section of the oil guide plate directly divides the oil sump into upper and lower parts. When left for a long time, the refrigerant will settle in the lower part under the action of gravity. The cylinder of the oil guide plate forms two channels with different areas, one large and one small, with a large area difference. This results in a large flow resistance, which causes more refrigerant oil to enter the oil inlet of the oil suction pipe from the top of the oil sump through the annular channel on the outside of the oil suction pipe when the compressor is running, and then to various friction surfaces, ensuring effective lubrication of the compressor.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0020] 1. The scroll-type refrigeration compressor oil guide plate mechanism provided by this utility model achieves separation of liquid refrigerant and refrigeration oil through the oil guide plate surface in working conditions such as low ambient temperature, defrosting, and long-term shutdown when a large amount of liquid refrigerant enters the compressor suction pipe. This ensures that the liquid on the oil suction pipe pump during compressor operation is as much as possible refrigeration oil, thus ensuring the reliability of the compressor under harsh working conditions.
[0021] 2. The scroll-type refrigeration compressor oil guide plate mechanism provided by this utility model has a gap between the oil guide plate and the lower cover. When the amount of oil in the compressor decreases during operation and the oil level is lower than the height of the oil guide plate, the refrigeration oil can flow into the oil guide plate through the gap, ensuring that the oil suction pipe can continuously pump oil and ensuring the reliability of the compressor.
[0022] 3. The scroll-type refrigeration compressor oil guide plate mechanism provided by this utility model has a simple structure and strong feasibility.
[0023] In summary, the technical solution of this utility model solves the problem in the prior art where the oil guide pipe is inserted into the bottom of the oil sump, causing a large amount of liquid refrigerant to be drawn in when the machine is started, resulting in poor lubrication of the friction surfaces and damage to the compressor.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an oil guide plate mechanism for a scroll refrigeration compressor, including: an oil suction pipe 1, a lower cover 3 and a compressor cylinder; the lower part of the compressor cylinder and the lower cover 3 form an oil sump 4; the oil suction pipe 1 is inserted into the oil sump 4; an oil guide plate 2 is provided in the oil sump 4; the oil suction pipe 1 is inserted into the oil guide plate 2.
[0037] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the oil guide plate 2 is composed of a flat plate 5 and a cylinder 6; the cylinder 6 is located at the lower center of the oil guide plate 2; the center of the oil guide plate 2 has a through hole identical to that of the cylinder 6.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the oil suction pipe 1 is inserted into the interior of the cylinder 6 at the lower part of the oil guide plate 2; a relatively wide annular channel 7 is formed between the oil suction pipe 1 and the cylinder 6.
[0039] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the bottom protrusion 8 of the cylinder 6 is welded to the inner side of the lower cover 3, and the other parts 9 at the bottom of the cylinder 6 form a narrow gap channel 10 with the lower cover 3.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, plate 5 is located in the upper refrigeration oil layer after the refrigeration oil and refrigerant oil have separated after a long period of standing.
[0041] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the flow area of the annular channel 7 is much larger than that of the slit channel 10, resulting in a much smaller flow resistance in the annular channel 7 compared to the slit channel 10. This makes it easier for the refrigeration oil in the upper part of the oil tank 4 to be sucked into its inlet 11 by the oil suction pipe 1.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
