Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electric scroll compressors, in particular to an electric scroll compressor with an oil return structure. Background Art

[0002] The electric scroll compressor is a positive displacement compressor. It is widely used in the field of new energy vehicles due to its simple structure, small size, smooth operation, low noise, high volumetric efficiency and high reliability. The scroll compressor realizes the compressor function mainly by a pair of meshing stator and moving plate. When the compressor is running, the moving plate revolves around a center relative to the stator to form three pairs of crescent-shaped compression chambers. The low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant passes from the outside to the inside through these three pairs of compression chambers with shrinking volumes and is compressed into a high-temperature and high-pressure state. It is finally discharged from the three exhaust holes in the center of the stator and finally from the exhaust port on the cylinder head. A frame supporting the dynamic and static disk compression unit is provided on the back of the moving plate. Wear-resistant gaskets are provided between the moving plate and the frame, and wear-resistant gaskets are also provided between the bottom of the stator teeth and the top of the moving plate teeth.

[0003] Theoretically, when the moving and stationary disks are meshing, the tooth walls just touch each other, and the friction is very small at this time. However, due to the influence of processing accuracy, the friction will inevitably increase. When the compressor is running, the parts with relative motion will inevitably produce friction at the contact point, which will produce sound, heat and wear. These problems will affect the life and use effect of the compressor. In order to reduce the friction between the components, refrigeration oil is usually used to lubricate and cool the components. Due to gravity, the refrigeration oil will be more distributed in the lower part of the compressor. Uneven distribution of refrigeration oil will cause the upper parts to not be fully lubricated, affecting the life of the compressor and even causing safety hazards. Therefore, an electric scroll compressor with an oil return structure is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The utility model provides an embodiment: an electric scroll compressor with an oil return structure, including a cylinder body 14 and a cylinder head 16, a frame 2 is arranged in the cylinder body 14, the frame 2 is the supporting frame of the whole compressor, the cylinder body 14 is installed at the bottom of the frame 2, and has a cylinder body air intake port 1 for introducing the gas to be compressed, the cylinder body 14 is provided with a cylinder body air intake port 1, the inner wall of the frame 2 is penetrated and rotatably connected with an eccentric shaft 5, the eccentric shaft 5 is fixedly connected with a moving plate 9, so that the rotation of the eccentric shaft 5 drives the moving plate 9 to rotate, the vortex line of the moving plate 9 is meshed with the static plate 3, so that the moving plate 9 can perform a rotational motion with a certain rotation radius on the inner wall of the static plate 3, and the outer wall of the static plate 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 2.

[0031] Reference Figure 4-Figure 9An annular groove is provided on the inner wall of the movable plate 9, and a back pressure cavity 10 is provided on the inner wall of the movable plate 9. The inner wall of the movable plate 9 is designed with an annular groove and a back pressure cavity 10. These structures are helpful to control the pressure balance during the compression process and ensure the compression efficiency. A ring body 13 is fixedly connected in the annular groove on the back of the movable plate 9. A compression cavity 7 is formed between the cylinder head 16 and the static plate 3. An anti-cylindrical pin 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 2. The outer wall of the anti-cylindrical pin 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the ring body 13. In order to prevent the movable plate 9 from generating unnecessary self-rotation during rotation, the anti-cylindrical pin 15 and the ring body 13 are designed. The ring body 13 is fixed to the anti-cylindrical pin 15 by a sliding connection, thereby stabilizing the rotation of the movable plate 9.

[0032] Reference Figure 4-Figure 9 A compression chamber 7 is provided on the inner wall of the frame 2. The compression chamber 7 is provided on the inner wall of the frame 2 for collecting compressed high-pressure gas. An exhaust port 6 is provided on the frame 2. The exhaust port 6 is provided on the frame 2 for exporting the compressed gas. An air inlet 4 is provided on the static plate 3. An oil groove 111 is provided on the frame 2. An oil return hole 8 is provided on the frame 2, so that the refrigeration oil in the high-pressure chamber flows back along the oil groove 111 to the bearing of the frame 2 to fully lubricate the upper parts. A static plate pressure relief hole 11 is provided on the static plate 3. The air inlet 4 and the static plate pressure relief hole 11 are respectively used for gas suction and pressure relief when necessary, helping to maintain the pressure balance inside the system. An oil return hole 12 is provided on the frame 2. The oil groove 111 and the oil return hole 8 and the oil return hole 12 on the frame 2 are used for lubricating and cooling system components, collecting and reusing oil, effectively maintaining mechanical components, and extending the service life of the compressor.

[0033] Working principle: When the compressor is not running, the refrigeration oil is mainly stored at the bottom of the low-pressure chamber. When the compressor is running, as the refrigerant enters from the cylinder suction port 1, the refrigerant will roll up the refrigeration oil and enter the compression chamber 7 through the air inlet 4 matched by the frame 2 and the stator 3. The air inlet 4 is evenly distributed on both sides of the compression chamber 7. After compression, the mixture of refrigerant and refrigeration oil is discharged from the exhaust hole of the stator 3 to open the valve plate;

[0034] When passing through the oil-gas separation structure on the cylinder head 16, the refrigeration oil and the refrigerant are separated, the refrigerant is discharged from the exhaust port 6, and the refrigeration oil flows back to the compression chamber 7, and flows to the oil return hole 8 on the stator 3 due to gravity;

[0035] The refrigerant oil passes through the oil return hole 8 along the oil groove 111 on the frame 2 and the gasket of the frame 2 to reach the back pressure chamber 10 on the back of the moving plate 9 to lubricate the bearing. When the pressure in the back pressure chamber 10 is too high, the refrigerant oil passes through the static plate pressure relief hole 11 connected to the other end of the oil groove 111 of the frame 2 to reach the low pressure chamber on the back of the static plate 3. A part of the refrigerant oil flows directly back to the low pressure chamber at the bottom of the cylinder body 14 from the gap between the static plate 3 and the cylinder body 14;

[0036] A part of it flows back to the compression chamber 7 through the oil return hole 12 on the back of the stator 3. The refrigerant oil circulates continuously in the compressor through this oil return system, providing back pressure and reaching the parts that need cooling and lubrication, ensuring the normal operation of the compressor.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
