[0013] The drawings are used to better understand the present utility model and do not constitute an improper limitation to the present utility model. Among them:

[0014] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an online lubricating oil filling device for a refrigeration compressor according to an embodiment of the present utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0015] The following describes exemplary embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the drawings. Various details of the embodiments of the present utility model are included to facilitate understanding, and they should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present utility model. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted below.

[0016] At least one embodiment of the present utility model provides an online lubricating oil filling device for a refrigeration compressor, asFigure 1 As shown in the figure, the on-line lubricating oil filling device for a refrigeration compressor may include an oil storage barrel 1, a first stop valve 3, a second stop valve 4, a filter 7, a filling pump 6, a first pipeline 9, a second pipeline 10, and an oil separator 8. In an embodiment, the oil separator 8 is connected to the inside of the oil storage barrel 1 through the first pipeline 9, and the first stop valve 3 and the second stop valve 4 are sequentially arranged on the first pipeline 9. The first stop valve 3 is close to the oil storage barrel 1, and the second stop valve 4 is close to the oil separator 8. A filter 7 and a filling pump 6 are sequentially arranged on the second pipeline 10. One end of the second pipeline 10 close to the filter 7 extends below the oil surface of the oil storage barrel 1, and one end of the second pipeline 10 close to the filling pump 6 is connected to the first pipeline 9 between the first stop valve 3 and the second stop valve 4. That is to say, the liquid in the oil storage barrel 1 circulates through the second pipeline 10, the filter 7, the filling pump 6, the first stop valve 3, and the first pipeline 9 to discharge the air bubbles in the pipeline and the liquid. Then, the second stop valve 4 is opened, and the first stop valve 3 is closed, and the liquid in the oil storage barrel 1 enters the oil separator 8.

[0017] Exemplary: The oil storage tank 1 used by the manufacturer to store the lubricating oil of the refrigerating machine for easy transportation, through the filling pump 6 that provides power for filling the lubricating oil, conveys the lubricating oil passing through the filter 7 that can filter the impurities contained in the lubricating oil in the oil storage barrel to the first pipeline 9, and then conveys it to the oil separator 8.

[0018] Therefore, the on-line lubricating oil filling device for the refrigeration compressor of the present invention can stabilize the pressure and flow rate during the lubricating oil filling process of the refrigeration compressor during operation, and effectively avoid the air bubbles that may be generated during the filling process.

[0019] In some embodiments worthy of note, the on-line lubricating oil filling device for the refrigeration compressor may be provided with a flow sensor on the second pipeline 10, and the flow sensor is connected to a controller, and the controller is connected to the filling pump 6.

[0023] Furthermore, it may further include a display screen for displaying parameters such as the state of the lubricating oil transported to the refrigerant compressor and the filling speed. For example, the display screen is connected to the flow sensor and the liquid level sensor, receives the transmitted signals and displays them, and can observe the operation situation in real time.
