Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of compressors, in particular to a variable capacity scroll compressor. Background Art
[0002] Due to the change in load, the conventional fixed-frequency system adjusts the load by starting and stopping the compressor during cooling or heating, resulting in large system temperature fluctuations and low overall energy efficiency. With the increasing requirements for temperature control accuracy and energy efficiency, there is an increasing demand for variable load cooling or heating systems. Variable load methods generally include multiple machines in parallel, variable capacity, and variable frequency. The variable capacity system adopts a mechanical variable capacity method. The compressor always maintains a constant speed operation, which will not cause frequent current shocks to the power grid. The compressor will not start and stop frequently, thereby reducing the risk of liquid hammer and oil loss. There is no need to use a frequency converter, and the system is simple and easy to maintain.
[0003] The compressor in the prior art usually adopts a variable volume channel provided on the upper side of the compressor to cooperate with the variable volume piston inside the compressor to achieve compressor capacity adjustment. The structure is complex, and high-precision cooperation is required, resulting in high cost. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a variable capacity scroll compressor, which realizes the change of compressor capacity, has a simple structure, requires high precision, and is suitable for different processing environments.
[0005] Specifically, the utility model discloses a variable capacity scroll compressor, comprising:
[0006] The housing has a motor disposed inside and an air inlet disposed on the side;
[0007] A scroll assembly, comprising a movable scroll and a stationary scroll, wherein the movable scroll is connected to the motor, and the stationary scroll is located on the upper side of the movable scroll and cooperates with the movable scroll to compress gas;
[0008] A control member is fixedly connected to the housing, and the control member is provided with an output end, and the output end is fixedly connected to the static vortex for changing the distance between the static vortex and the movable vortex.
[0009] The benefit of adopting the above technical solution is that the distance between the movable scroll and the stationary scroll can be changed to achieve compressor capacity adjustment, and it has a simple structure, low cost and long service life.
[0010] Furthermore, the control component is a piston cylinder, which includes a cylinder body and a piston. The piston is provided with an adapter, and the adapter is detachably connected to the static scroll.
[0011] The benefit of adopting the above technical solution is that the distance between the static scroll and the movable scroll is controlled by the extension and retraction of the piston, so as to realize the change of the compressor capacity. When the distance between the static scroll and the movable scroll is the smallest, it is the full-load working state. When the distance between the static scroll and the movable scroll becomes larger, a part of the gas is directly discharged without being compressed. By changing the distance, different power working states can be achieved.
[0012] Furthermore, an air outlet is provided in the middle of the static vortex, a through hole is provided inside the adapter, and a plurality of exhaust holes are provided around the through hole.
[0013] The benefit of adopting the above technical solution is that the setting of the adapter facilitates the connection between the piston cylinder and the static vortex, and at the same time the adapter will not cause blockage to the air outlet on the static vortex. The setting of multiple exhaust ports is conducive to the discharge of high-pressure gas.
[0014] Furthermore, the piston is provided with a sealing ring.
[0015] The benefit of adopting the above technical solution is that the provision of the sealing ring ensures the sealing of the piston and prevents leakage of high-pressure gas.
[0016] Furthermore, the piston cylinder is provided with an exhaust port, the exhaust port is connected to the air intake port through a pipeline, and a stop valve is provided on the pipeline.
[0017] The benefit of adopting the above technical solution is that the setting of the stop valve realizes the control of the piston position of the piston cylinder. When the stop valve is opened, the upper part of the piston becomes low pressure, while the lower part of the piston is still in a high pressure state. The piston moves upward, and the distance between the static vortex and the movable vortex increases, thereby changing the working state of the compressor and changing the compressor workload.
[0018] Furthermore, a top cover is provided on the upper side of the shell, a silencer cover is provided inside the shell on the upper side of the static vortex, and the control component is fixedly connected to the silencer cover.
[0019] The benefit of adopting the above technical solution is that the setting of the silent cover realizes the silent function and reduces the noise emitted by the compressor when it is working. The control component is arranged in the silent cover so that its main body is in the high-pressure chamber, and the pressure applied to each part is consistent, which effectively extends the service life of the control component and reduces maintenance and replacement.
[0020] Furthermore, an exhaust pipe is provided on the side of the top cover.
[0021] Furthermore, a connecting hole is provided in the middle of the piston, and the gas compressed by the vortex assembly overflows into the piston cylinder.
[0022] Furthermore, a floating seal assembly is arranged on the upper side of the static scroll, including a floating block and a floating seal ring. An annular groove is arranged on the upper surface of the static scroll, and the floating seal ring is arranged in the annular groove.
[0023] The benefit of adopting the above technical solution is that the setting of the floating seal realizes the sealing between the static vortex and the silencer cover. When the working load of the compressor is adjusted, the distance between the static vortex and the silencer cover will also change. The floating seal ensures the sealing state between the static vortex and the silencer cover to prevent high-pressure gas leakage and affect the compression efficiency of the compressor.

[0037] In some embodiments, the piston 52 is provided with a sealing ring, which is arranged around the piston 52 to ensure the sealing between the piston 52 and the piston cylinder 5 to prevent leakage of high-pressure gas.
[0038] In some embodiments, the piston cylinder 5 is provided with an exhaust port, and the exhaust port is connected to the air intake port 12 via a pipeline 7 , and a stop valve 8 is provided on the pipeline 7 .
[0039] When the compressor is 100% working, the stop valve 8 is closed, the piston 52 and the piston cylinder 5 are in the high-pressure chamber as a whole, the static scroll 4 is pressed down by the exhaust pressure and the force of the back pressure chamber and is axially close to the movable scroll 2, achieving 100% load operation; when the compressor is partially loaded (not 100% working), the stop valve 8 is opened, the exhaust passage on the upper part of the piston cylinder 5 is connected to the suction pipe of the compressor, becoming low pressure, while the lower part of the piston 52 is high pressure, the piston 52 is pushed upward under the pressure difference, the static scroll 4 is lifted, and the static scroll 4 and the movable scroll 2 form a certain axial gap for axial unloading, and the compressor is in 0% working state; when the stop valve 8 is closed again, the compressor is in 100% working state again.
