Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of compressors, in particular to a filtering and throttling structure of a compressor and a compressor including the filtering and throttling structure. Background Art

[0002] As the core component of an automotive air conditioner, the performance and reliability of a compressor play a very important role in the overall performance of the air conditioning system. In the operation of existing compressors, mechanical components require lubrication with lubricating oil. The lubricating oil in the oil sump reaches the gaps between bearings and sliding components through various oil passage channels inside the compressor by means of differential pressure oil supply and other methods to achieve the lubrication purpose. However, various impurities (such as iron filings or other solids) inevitably exist in the pipeline of the refrigeration system. These impurities fall into the lubricating oil sump and are supplied to each sliding component along with the lubricating oil, causing abnormal wear of each sliding component (such as pistons, cylinders, crankshafts, valve plates, etc.) and shortening the service life of the compressor.

[0003] In addition, an external oil separator is usually not provided for an automotive air conditioner compressor. When the oil content in the exhaust gas of the compressor is too high, the lubricating oil enters the system, which in turn affects the heat exchange effect of the two heat exchangers, thereby reducing the performance of the system. Moreover, too high an oil content in the exhaust gas is not conducive to oil return and easily affects the reliability of the compressor. Summary of the Utility Model

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0047] In addition, in the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0048] As Figures 1 to 9 shown, it is an embodiment of the filter throttling structure of the compressor provided by the present utility model.

[0049] Refer to Figure 1 , the conventional compressor structure includes components such as a crankshaft 101, a cylinder 102, a piston 103, an intermediate plate 104, a main bearing 105, and a sub-bearing 106. The eccentric part of the crankshaft 101 penetrates inside the cylinder 102, the piston 103 is sleeved on the eccentric part of the crankshaft 101, and the eccentric part of the crankshaft 101, the cylinder 102, and the piston 103 constitute a compression structure. When the compression structure is a multi-stage compression structure, the adjacent cylinders 102 and pistons 103 are separated from each other by the intermediate plate 104, and both the main bearing 105 and the sub-bearing 106 are sleeved on the crankshaft 101 and are respectively located on both ends of the compression structure. An oil passage is provided inside the compressor for delivering lubricating oil to the sliding components of the compressor, such as the crankshaft 101, the cylinder 102, the piston 103, the main bearing 105, and the sub-bearing 106, etc.

[0050] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, the filtering and throttling structure of the compressor in this embodiment includes an oil inlet passage 1, an oil plug 2, and a filter screen 3.

[0051] Among them, the oil inlet passage 1 is connected to the oil sump and leads to the oil passage inside the compressor. The oil inlet passage 1 is used to suck lubricating oil from the oil sump and deliver the sucked lubricating oil to the oil passage inside the compressor to achieve lubrication. The oil inlet passage 1 can be provided on any one or more of the intermediate plate 104, the main bearing 105, and the auxiliary bearing 106 of the compressor. The oil inlet passage 1 has an oil inlet 11 immersed in the oil sump for sucking the lubricating oil in the oil sump.

[0052] The oil plug 2 is provided in the oil inlet passage 1 and blocks the oil inlet passage 1. A first through hole 21 communicating with the oil inlet passage 1 is provided on the oil plug 2. The diameter of the first through hole 21 is smaller than the diameter of the oil inlet passage 1, which can play a throttling role, reduce the amount of oil delivered from the oil inlet passage 1 to the oil passage inside the compressor, and further reduce the amount of oil finally discharged from the oil passage inside the compressor, that is, reduce the oil content in the exhaust gas of the compressor, that is, reduce the oil output rate of the compressor, and ensure the reliability of the compressor.

[0053] The filter screen 3 is provided on the oil plug 2, and the filter screen 3 covers the first through hole 21. The filter screen 3 plays a role in filtering the lubricating oil. Then, the lubricating oil flowing through the first through hole 21 is filtered by the filter screen 3 to remove impurities and then delivered to the oil passage inside the compressor through the oil inlet passage 1, which can effectively prevent impurities in the lubricating oil from entering the sliding parts of the compressor from the oil inlet passage 1, and has high reliability.

[0054] Thus, the filtering and throttling structure of the compressor in this embodiment, by combining the oil plug 2 and the filter screen 3 and setting them at the oil inlet passage 1 of the compressor, can effectively reduce the oil output rate of the compressor and prevent impurities from entering the sliding parts of the compressor along with the lubricating oil, thereby ensuring the reliability of the compressor, effectively reducing the wear of each sliding part of the compressor, prolonging the service life of the compressor, and having the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation, and easy operation.

[0055] In this embodiment, preferably, the oil plug 2 is provided at one end of the oil inlet passage 1 close to the oil inlet 11 to effectively prevent impurities in the oil sump from entering the inside of the oil inlet passage 1 through the filter screen 3 provided on the oil plug 2.

[0058] Preferably, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the oil plug 2 includes a retaining piece 22 and an anti-disengagement piece 23. The outer peripheral contour of the retaining piece 22 is adapted to the inner peripheral contour of the oil inlet passage 1, so that the oil inlet passage 1 can be blocked by the retaining piece 22. The first through hole 21 on the oil plug 2 is formed on the retaining piece 22 and penetrates through the retaining piece 22, thereby communicating with the oil inlet passage 1. The anti-disengagement piece 23 extends from the outer edge of the retaining piece 22 along the axial direction of the first through hole 21. The anti-disengagement piece 23 includes a plurality of fins arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the retaining piece 22. Each fin inclines towards the outer peripheral side of the retaining piece 22 along the extending direction away from the retaining piece 22, so as to form an interference fit structure with the oil inlet passage 1, and the oil plug 2 can be fixedly embedded in the oil inlet passage 1. To prevent the oil plug 2 from moving in the oil inlet passage 1 along with the flow of the lubricating oil, referring to Figure 3 , a stepped surface 12 facing the oil inlet 11 is formed on the inner peripheral contour of the oil inlet passage 1. The retaining piece 22 of the oil plug 2 abuts against the stepped surface 12, so that the stepped surface 12 can prevent the oil plug 2 from moving towards the inside of the oil inlet passage 1.

[0059] In this embodiment, the filter screen 3 is arranged on the retaining piece 22 of the oil plug 2 and covers the first through hole 21 on the retaining piece 22. The diameter of the first through hole 21 on the oil plug 2 is preferably 0.15 mm - 5 mm. The shape of the filter screen 3 is not limited, and it can be any shape that can cover the first through hole 21 on the oil plug 2. The outer peripheral edge of the filter screen 3 and the inner peripheral contour of the retaining piece 22 can be in clearance fit or interference fit.

A second through hole 41 communicating with the first through hole 21 is formed in the fixing piece 4 to ensure smooth oil flow. Fixing the filter screen 3 and the oil plug 2 by the fixing piece 4 has the advantage of simpler operation, and can also ensure the stability of the connection between the filter screen 3 and the oil plug 2, avoiding the filter screen 3 from moving or falling off on the oil plug 2. Preferably, both the fixing piece 4 and the filter screen 3 are arranged on one side of the retaining piece 22 of the oil plug 2 facing the oil inlet 11 of the oil inlet passage 1.
