[0038] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0039] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 An oil baffle structure includes an oil baffle plate 100, which is provided with a first through hole 110 and a second through hole 120. The first through hole 110 is used for limiting the installation of the oil baffle plate 100, and the second through hole 120 is used for upward flow of gas.

[0042] The oil baffle 100 is installed above the upper silencer cover in the compressor. The shape of the oil baffle 100 is designed in combination with the internal structure of a traditional compressor. The oil baffle 100 is in the shape of a circular oil baffle 100 to provide better fixing and balancing effects.

[0043] The first through hole 110 is located in the middle of the oil baffle 100. It is a circular through hole, and its axis coincides with the rotation axis of the oil baffle 100. The first through hole 110 plays a role in the central limiting installation of the oil baffle 100. The second through hole 120 is used for the upward flow of gas. The second through holes 120 are distributed in the area between the inner edge and the outer edge of the oil baffle 100. The number of the second through holes 120 can be two or three, and there is no specific restriction here. In terms of shape, the second through hole 120 can be a circular through hole or a semicircular through hole, etc.

[0044] The oil baffle 100 has a first surface and a second surface arranged in opposite directions. A shielding portion 130 is provided on the first surface. The shielding portion 130 is arranged around the edge of the second through hole 120 for discharging gas laterally. A plurality of oil baffles 140 for oil and gas separation are provided on the second surface.

[0045] It can be seen that the oil baffle 100 is located above the upper silencer cover. Combined with the usage requirements, it can be seen that the first surface is the upper surface of the oil baffle 100, and the second surface is the lower surface of the oil baffle 100. A shielding portion 130 is provided on the first surface to change the discharge path of the refrigerant. For example, the second through hole 120 is a semicircular hole, including an arcuate side and a straight side connected to each other. The shielding portion 130 is curved and arranged along the arcuate side, which is equivalent to forming a convex structure above the second through hole 120, and a lateral opening is jointly constructed between the shielding portion 130 and the straight side of the second through hole 120 for lateral discharge of gas. For example, the lateral opening is oriented between the inner edge and the outer edge of the oil baffle 100, that is, it is not directly facing the inner edge or the outer edge of the oil baffle 100.

[0046] The second surface is the lower surface of the muffler cover facing upward on the oil baffle plate 100. A plurality of oil baffles 140 for oil and gas separation are provided on the second surface, which can separate the oil and gas of the refrigerant discharged from the upper muffler cover.

[0047] In terms of position distribution, the multiple oil baffles 140 can be evenly or unevenly distributed on the second surface, that is, in this example, there is no restriction on the specific distribution positions of the multiple oil baffles 140. The distribution positions and quantities of the multiple oil baffles 140 can be adjusted according to actual operational requirements to achieve the purpose of oil and gas separation.

[0048] For example, multiple oil baffles 140 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction, or multiple oil baffles 140 are staggered along the circumferential direction. As for the specific shape of the oil baffle 140, an arc-shaped oil baffle 140 or a flat oil baffle 140 can be adopted. The shape can be adjusted according to actual needs, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0049] During specific use, the oil baffle 100 is set above the upper silencer cover in the compressor, and the refrigerant discharged from the upper silencer cover is directly sprayed onto the second surface of the oil baffle 100, so that the oil mist entrained in the refrigerant will adhere to multiple oil baffles 140, and the refrigerant gas will continue to be discharged through the second through hole 120. After the oil mist attached to the oil baffle 140 gathers into oil droplets, it will fall back into the oil pool due to its own gravity, thereby reducing the oil circulation rate.

[0050] In some embodiments, a first enclosure 150 is enclosed at the edge of the oil baffle 100, and the cross-sectional area of the first enclosure 150 gradually increases from the second surface toward the first surface, forming a slope structure, which can facilitate the adhesion and falling of oil mist.

[0051] As is known, the oil baffle 100 is a circular oil baffle 100, and the first enclosure 150 is enclosed at the edge of the oil baffle 100. Here, the first enclosure 150 is equivalent to a circular ring shape, having an inner edge and an outer edge. Since the cross-sectional area of the first enclosure 150 gradually increases from the second surface toward the first surface, that is, the height of the outer edge of the first enclosure 150 is higher than the height of the inner edge of the first enclosure 150, the inclined structure design provides a larger attachment area for the oil mist, and also facilitates the oil mist to fall back on the first surface of the oil baffle 100 with the help of the inclined structure, thereby avoiding excessive entry into the air-conditioning system.

[0052] In some embodiments, a second enclosure 160 is provided on the second surface. The second enclosure 160 is enclosed at the edge of the first through hole 110 . The second enclosure 160 is provided to block the refrigerant and oil mist to prevent them from being directly discharged through the first through hole 110 .

[0053] It is known that the first through hole 110 is used for the limiting installation of the oil baffle 100. In order to prevent the refrigerant from carrying part of the oil mist through the gap between the first through hole 110 and the connected components, a second enclosure 160 is set at the edge of the first through hole 110, so that the refrigerant can only pass from the outside of the second enclosure 160, that is, through the area of multiple oil baffles 140.

[0054] In some embodiments, a third through hole 170 is opened on the oil baffle plate 100, and the third through hole 170 is used for positioning and connecting the oil baffle plate 100, ensuring the positioning stability and connection stability of the oil baffle plate 100, thereby ensuring the use stability of the oil baffle structure.

[0055] Here, bolts or other connecting parts can be used to pass through the third through holes 170 to lock the oil baffle 100 on the connected components. The number of third through holes 170 can be four, and the four third through holes 170 are evenly spaced on the oil baffle 100, which plays a balanced connection role for the oil baffle 100.

[0056] An oil baffle structure provided in this embodiment is installed above the upper silencer cover in the compressor, so that the refrigerant discharged from the upper silencer cover is directly sprayed onto the oil baffle plate 100. A plurality of oil baffle plates 140 for oil-gas separation are arranged on the second surface of the oil baffle plate 100, so that the oil mist entrained in the refrigerant can be gathered and fall back into the oil pool, thereby reducing the oil circulation rate. Compared with methods such as optimizing the lubrication system and improving the oil-gas separator, it has the advantages of low cost and easy promotion. At the same time, since the oil baffle plate 100 is arranged above the silencer cover, it can buffer the refrigerant discharged from the silencer cover, reduce the transmission path and reflection of the noise, and thus achieve a noise reduction effect.

[0057] Example 2:

[0058] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that this embodiment further optimizes the structure of the oil retaining structure of the utility model. Figure 3-Figure 5 .

[0059] In this embodiment, a sealing cover 200 is provided on the second surface, and a plurality of oil baffles 140 are covered in the sealing cover 200; a fourth through hole 210 for upward flow of gas and a fifth through hole 220 for oil droplet backflow are provided on the side of the sealing cover 200 away from the second surface. The provision of the sealing cover 200 can achieve a better effect of reducing noise.

[0060] For example, the sealing cover 200 includes a sealing bottom surface and a side enclosure, the side enclosure is enclosed at the edge of the sealing bottom surface, and the sealing cover 200 forms a cavity structure with an opening, and the end of the side enclosure away from the sealing bottom surface is connected to the second surface, so that a closed cavity is formed between the sealing cover 200 and the second surface, and a plurality of oil baffles 140 are located in the closed cavity, and the closed cavity is in a non-sealed state. Specifically, a fourth through hole 210 and a fifth through hole 220 are provided on the side of the sealing cover 200 away from the second surface, that is, the fourth through hole 210 and the fifth through hole 220 are provided on the sealing bottom surface of the sealing cover 200.

[0061] When in use, the oil baffle plate 100 is set above the upper silencer cover in the compressor. The refrigerant discharged from the upper silencer cover enters the closed cavity formed between the sealing cover 200 and the second surface through the fourth through hole 210. After the oil and gas are separated by multiple oil baffles 140, the refrigerant gas continues to be discharged through the second through hole 120. The oil mist attached to the oil baffle 140 is gathered into oil droplets and, under the action of its own gravity, falls back into the oil pool through the fifth through hole 220, thereby reducing the oil circulation rate.

[0062] Here, in this embodiment, the specific shapes, distribution positions and numbers of the fourth through holes 210 and the fifth through holes 220 are not limited and can be adjusted accordingly according to actual needs.

[0063] In some embodiments, the fourth through hole 210 and the second through hole 120 are staggered, and the staggered arrangement enables the refrigerant discharged from the upper silencer to pass through the oil baffle 140 for oil and gas separation before being discharged through the second through hole 120 .

[0064] As is known, the fourth through hole 210 is used for the refrigerant discharged from the upper silencer to enter the interior of the sealing cover 200 from the fourth through hole 210, so that the refrigerant passes through multiple oil baffles 140 for oil and gas separation, and the second through hole 120 is used for the discharge of the refrigerant after oil and gas separation. Therefore, the fourth through hole 210 and the second through hole 120 are staggered. This can avoid the refrigerant that enters the interior of the sealing cover 200 through the fourth through hole 210 from being directly discharged from the second through hole 120, ensuring a better oil and gas separation effect, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the oil circulation rate.

[0065] Furthermore, a gap is provided between the end of the oil baffle 140 away from the second surface and the sealing cover 200 , thereby ensuring sufficient circulation of the refrigerant inside the sealing cover 200 , that is, ensuring the oil-gas separation effect of the oil baffle 140 .

[0066] Example 3:

[0067] Based on the above embodiment 2, the present invention also provides a compressor, see Figure 6-Figure 8 .

[0068] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 A compressor includes a compression pump 300, an upper support 400, an upper silencer cover 500, a crankshaft 600 and the oil retaining structure in Example 2.

[0069] The upper support 400 includes a base plate 410 and a sleeve 420 extending upward from the middle of the base plate 410. The sleeve 420 passes through the upper silencer 500 and the first through hole 110 of the oil baffle 100 in sequence. That is, the oil baffle 100 is limitedly installed by the sleeve 420 of the upper support 400, and the oil baffle 100 is located above the upper silencer 500. The crankshaft 600 passes through the compression pump 300 and the sleeve 420 in sequence.

[0070] Here, the oil baffle 100 is installed in a limited position through the upper support 400 and is located above the upper silencer 500. Compared with the traditional method of setting the oil baffle 100 at the upper end of the rotor to block oil, this embodiment can effectively reduce the oil circulation rate of the compressor while also achieving a noise reduction function.

[0071] See also Figure 8 Furthermore, a sixth through hole 510 for upward gas circulation is provided on the upper silencer cover 500; the fourth through hole 210 is opposite to the sixth through hole 510, ensuring that the refrigerant discharged through the upper silencer cover 500 directly enters the interior of the sealing cover 200 through the fourth through hole 210, and the oil baffle 140 plays the role of oil and gas separation.

[0072] The utility model provides a compressor which, after applying the above-mentioned oil retaining structure, has the advantages of reducing the oil circulation rate of the compressor, improving the performance of high-speed working conditions, increasing pump reliability, ensuring lubrication, reducing noise and optimizing hearing feeling.
