[0003] The working pressure of the CO2 transcritical refrigeration cycle is about 6-8 times that of traditional refrigerants, presenting potential safety hazards. Therefore, when designing, manufacturing, and installing the compressor, it is necessary to ensure its pressure resistance strength. Summary of the Utility Model

[0033] As the environmental crisis caused by global climate change intensifies day by day, people pay more and more attention to environmental protection issues. The use of refrigerant has a great impact on environmental pollution. Therefore, reducing the amount of refrigerant used or even finding new alternatives has become an issue of continuous concern. The ozone depletion potential ODP of CO2 is 0, and the global warming potential GWP is 1, which is much lower than that of other refrigerants. At the same time, CO2 is non-toxic, non-flammable, and has stable chemical properties, ensuring the safety of personnel and food during the operation of the equipment. The working pressure of the CO2 transcritical refrigeration cycle is about 6 to 8 times that of traditional refrigerants, presenting potential safety hazards. Therefore, when designing, manufacturing, and installing the compressor, it is necessary to ensure its pressure resistance strength.

[0034] The present utility model provides a compressor, aiming to provide a compressor that can ensure the pressure resistance strength of the compressor. Figure 1 It is a partial structural cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the compressor provided by the present utility model;

[0035] Figure 2 is Figure 1 the cross-sectional view of the middle housing; Figure 3 is Figure 2 the partial enlarged view at A in Figure 4 is Figure 1 the three-dimensional view of the middle housing; Figure 5 is Figure 1 the relationship diagram between the pressure resistance strength of the compressor in

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the compressor includes a housing 1 and a conduit 2. The housing 1 is penetrated with a welding hole a along its wall thickness direction. The welding hole a is successively provided with a first hole section a1 and a second hole section a2 along the wall thickness direction of the housing 1 from outside to inside. The aperture of the first hole section a1 is at least partially expanded in the outward direction, and the second hole section a2 is set as a straight hole section. The conduit 2 is inserted through the welding hole a and is used to communicate with a cylinder arranged inside the housing 1, and the conduit 2 is welded to the inner wall of the welding hole a.

[0037] It should be noted that the housing 1 is an external protective housing of the compressor, which is used to protect internal components and provide a closed space to accommodate components such as motors and compression cylinders.

[0038] The conduit 2 is inserted through the welding hole a on the housing 1. The conduit 2 can be understood as a suction pipe connecting the intake port of the compression cylinder, or it can be a supplementary air pipe for supplementary air enthalpy increase. Of course, it can also be an exhaust pipe connected to a heat exchanger. Of course, the conduit 2 can also be used to connect the cylinder inside the housing 1 and other components outside the housing 1.

[0039] It should be noted that the welding hole a refers to a hole opened for welding with the conduit 2. When welding the conduit 2 to the housing, first insert the conduit 2 through the welding hole a, and then melt the solder and fill the gap between the welding hole a and the conduit 2.

[0040] It can be understood that the aperture of the first hole section a1 is at least partially expanded in the outward direction. Looking at the welding hole a in cross-section, the side wall of the first hole section a1 can be set as an inclined straight line, or it can be an inclined arc. Of course, it can also be an irregular line formed by connecting multiple curves. Specifically, it can be designed according to actual situations, and the embodiments of this specification do not limit this.

[0041] Compared with a straight hole, the expanded inner wall surface formed by the first hole section a1 can increase the contact area between the conduit 2 and the hole wall. The solder can be better distributed to form a wider weld seam, thereby improving the strength and stability of the welding. At the same time, the slope of at least part of the side wall of the welding hole a helps the solder to flow better.

[0042] It should also be noted that the second hole section a2 is set as a straight hole section, which can form a surface contact with the outer peripheral wall of the conduit 2. The second hole section a2 provides stable support for the conduit 2 after it passes through the welding hole a, ensuring that the position of the conduit 2 is accurate and not easy to move after installation.

[0043] In the technical solution of the present utility model, when welding the catheter 2 to the housing 1, the catheter 2 is passed through the welding hole a, and the melted solder is filled in the welding hole a. Since the aperture of the first hole section a1 is set to expand outward, more solder can be accommodated in the welding hole a than when it is set as a straight hole, increasing the welding surface and improving the welding reliability; the second hole section a2 is set as a straight hole section, forming a surface contact with the catheter 2, providing stable support for the catheter 2. The catheter 2 and the inner wall of the welding hole a are welded to ensure that the catheter 2 is firmly connected to the housing 1, and good sealing performance is ensured to prevent gas leakage. When the pressure in the housing 1 is relatively high, reliable connection and pressure resistance strength between the fixing component and the housing 1 are ensured.

[0044] Further, in this embodiment, at least a part of the first hole section a1 is set to expand gradually in the outward direction. The inner wall surface of the first hole section a1 forms a continuous guiding inclined surface, which is beneficial for the welding liquid to quickly flow to the first hole section a1.

[0045] In one embodiment, the first hole section a1 is set as a tapered hole section. Since the shape of the tapered hole is relatively regular, it can usually be directly processed by conventional machining methods such as drilling, reaming, boring or turning, which can ensure high machining accuracy and good repeatability. Avoiding the processing of special-shaped holes requires special tools, increasing the manufacturing difficulty and cost, as well as the complexity of the processing process.

[0046] In another embodiment, the first hole section a1 is set as at least a stepped hole section, and the aperture suddenly changes at one or more points, forming one or more stepped structures. The stepped hole section can enhance the welding strength by increasing the contact area between the catheter 2 and the hole wall, and provide additional support for the catheter 2 to ensure its more stable position after installation.

[0047] Further, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 , in this embodiment, the length of the first hole section a1 is L1, and the length of the second hole section a2 is L2, where L1 ≤ L2. In this way, with the limited wall thickness of the housing 1, setting the length of the second hole section a2 longer than the length of the first hole section a1 can ensure the contact area between the catheter 2 and the housing 1, and further improve the sealing performance and reliability of the welding between the two.

[0048] Furthermore, in this embodiment, 0.1 ≤ L1 / L2 ≤ 1. When the length of the first hole section a1 is too small, the effect of the first hole section a1 in expanding the welding surface is not significant, and the effect of increasing the welding strength is not obvious. Also, restricting the ratio range between the length of the first hole section a1 and the length of the second hole section a2 to be between 0.1 and 1 ensures that the catheter 2 meets the pressure resistance strength after being welded to the housing 1.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the diameter of the second hole section a2 is D2, the outer diameter of the catheter 2 is D3, and 0.06 mm ≤ (D2 - D3) / 2 ≤ 0.15 mm. It can be understood that D2 - D3 is the gap size between the catheter 2 and the straight hole section. Setting the gap between the two to be between 0.06 mm and 0.15 mm can not only accommodate enough solder but also ensure the strength and quality of the weld seam, guarantee the mechanical strength of the welded part, and at the same time, facilitate the smooth flow of solder during welding to improve the welding quality.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the housing 1 is annularly arranged, the wall thickness of the housing 1 is T, the inner diameter of the housing 1 is D, and 0.03 ≤ T / D ≤ 0.1.

[0051] It can be understood that the choice of the wall thickness directly affects the strength and durability of the compressor housing 1. An overly thin wall thickness may cause the housing 1 to deform or rupture under high-pressure environments, while an overly thick wall thickness will increase the weight and manufacturing cost.

[0052] A higher T / D ratio (close to 0.1) generally means stronger structural strength but may cause the compressor to become heavier, increasing the material cost; a lower T / D ratio (close to 0.03) helps to reduce the weight of the compressor, and the housing 1 is still strong enough to withstand the internal pressure.

[0053] Generally, when the ratio of the wall thickness to the inner diameter of the housing 1 is set within this range, the compressor is generally a thick-shell type compressor, which is more suitable for the compressor type using carbon dioxide as the refrigerant medium.

[0054] Specifically, since the carbon dioxide compressor needs to withstand high pressure during operation, especially when carbon dioxide is in the supercritical state, the pressure can be as high as 70 - 100 bar or higher. Therefore, the housing needs to have a sufficient wall thickness to withstand this pressure. In this embodiment, the wall thickness of the housing 1 is d, and 6 mm ≤ d ≤ 8 mm. To ensure that it can operate safely and reliably under the expected working conditions.

[0055] Of course, when the compressor is in different operating conditions, or when the material of the housing 1 is set to (carbon steel, stainless steel or other alloys) with different yield strengths and tensile strengths, the minimum wall thickness of the housing 1 under a specific pressure can also be appropriately adjusted to ensure that the housing 1 does not undergo plastic deformation or rupture. For carbon dioxide compressors for different purposes, the wall thickness of the casing may be between a few millimeters and more than ten millimeters. Those skilled in the art may also make other changes under the inspiration of the technical essence of the embodiments of this specification. However, as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same as or similar to those of the embodiments of this specification, they should all be covered within the protection scope of the embodiments of this specification.

[0056] Specifically, the compressor includes a carbon dioxide compressor, which is a special compressor that uses carbon dioxide as the working medium and is usually used in a refrigeration system called "carbon dioxide transcritical cycle" and has no destructive effect on the ozone layer. In some application scenarios, the carbon dioxide system can achieve higher energy efficiency than traditional refrigeration systems.

[0057] The present utility model also proposes a refrigeration device, which may be an air conditioner or a refrigerator, etc. The refrigeration device includes a compressor and a heat exchanger. The specific structure of the compressor refers to the above embodiments. Since this refrigeration device adopts all the technical solutions of the above all embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0058] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the technical concept of the present utility model by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
