Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of compressors, and more specifically to a screw main engine. Background Art

[0002] A compressor is a driven fluid machine that lifts low-pressure gas to high-pressure gas. The screw main unit is the core component of the screw compressor. A pair of intermeshing screw rotors are arranged in parallel in the cylinder of the screw main unit. One end of the screw rotor is the suction end, which is connected to the suction port of the machine body, and the other end of the screw rotor is the exhaust end, which is connected to the exhaust port of the machine body. As the screw rotor rotates, the gas is sucked in from the suction end and discharged from the exhaust end after compression, thus completing the gas compression process. Because the screw main unit runs at high speed, lubricating oil is required to lubricate its compression mechanism, bearings and other parts to avoid wear and damage, and at the same time help heat dissipation and sealing. In the screw main unit, oil return is an important circulation process in the screw main unit to ensure the effective circulation and use of lubricating oil. The oil return of lubricating oil usually refers to the process in which the lubricating oil returns to the lubrication system after completing the lubrication task to be reused or recycled. At present, the oil return pipe of the screw main unit on the market has one end inserted into the oil-gas separator and the other end connected to the compression main unit. This connection method must be equipped with a one-way valve. Otherwise, when the machine stops, the lubricating oil may flow back into the oil-gas separator due to the internal pressure, which will increase the failure points and costs, and the usability of the screw main unit is not stable enough. For example, the utility model patent with publication number: CN210178544U discloses an air compressor with switchable secondary oil return, in which one end of the oil-gas mixing pipeline is connected to the oil outlet of the compressor main unit, and the other end is connected to the oil inlet of the oil-gas separator; one end of the first oil return branch pipe is directly or indirectly connected to the oil separated by the oil-gas separator, and the other end is connected to the oil return port of the compressor main unit; two first valves are arranged on the first oil return branch pipe; the first check valve is arranged on the first oil return branch pipe and is located between the two first valves; one end of the second oil return branch pipe is directly or indirectly connected to the oil separated by the oil-gas separator, and the other end is connected to the oil inlet of the intake valve; the second valve is arranged on the second oil return branch pipe; the second check valve is arranged on the second oil return branch pipe and is located between the second valve and the oil inlet of the intake valve; this technical solution avoids the backflow of lubricating oil by arranging a check valve, but the pipeline design of this external check valve method is relatively complicated and cumbersome, the degree of integration is low and its production cost is high.
