Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of vehicle-mounted refrigeration equipment, and specifically to a horizontal compressor and a new energy vehicle. Background Art
[0002] Scroll compressors require sufficient oil to lubricate key components such as the rotating and stationary scrolls and bearings. Typically, the lubricating oil is discharged from the compressor along with the refrigerant. Maximizing oil-gas separation and maximizing oil storage space are crucial for compressor reliability. Furthermore, compressors generate noise during operation, typically originating from compressor gas noise, scroll meshing, and valve plate vibration. Therefore, equipping the compressor's exhaust side with a silencer is commonplace.
[0003] Existing scroll compressors usually use a centrifugal rotating oil-gas separation structure, which has a poor oil-gas separation effect and no obvious silencing or noise reduction function. At the same time, the oil storage tank space is limited to the internal space of the high-pressure cover, and the oil storage space is small, resulting in poor oil return effect of the compressor and greatly reduced reliability.
[0004] Patent CN115370572A provides an oil separation hood and a scroll compressor. The oil separation hood is used for oil and gas separation in a scroll compressor and includes a base and a hood body connected to the base. The hood body is provided with an air inlet chamber that can be connected to the exhaust port of the static scroll of the compressor, an oil separation structure, and an oil pool that can be connected to the oil storage chamber of the front shell of the scroll compressor. The oil separation structure includes a channel housing provided with an oil and gas passage, an air inlet, an oil outlet passage, and a first exhaust port. The air inlet connects the air inlet chamber and the oil and gas passage. The oil outlet passage is provided in the channel housing and has an oil inlet hole that connects the oil and gas passage and the oil pool. The first exhaust port is provided at the other end of the channel housing and can be connected to the exhaust port of the scroll compressor. The oil separation hood of the utility model is provided with an oil separation structure and an oil pool, which greatly increases the oil storage space of the compressor, allowing the entire compressor to obtain better oil return and lubrication. At the same time, the oil separation hood is designed with a noise reduction and vibration reduction structure, which effectively reduces the exhaust noise of the compressor. However, this structure is difficult to meet the oil return requirements. At high speeds and high oil circulation rates, the oil-air mixture tumbles disorderly on the compressor's exhaust side, making it impossible to accurately measure the oil level on the compressor's front housing, which means poor oil return. Consequently, the lubrication and sealing of the orbiting and static scrolls cannot be effectively achieved, and the overall temperature rise of the compressor cannot be effectively controlled, resulting in poor heat dissipation and a shortened compressor lifespan.
[0005] Patent CN215633776U provides an oil-gas separator, a compressor and an air conditioner. The compressor includes a static scroll exhaust port. The oil-gas separator includes a cover body. An air inlet cavity is provided in the cover body. The air inlet cavity is connected to the static scroll exhaust port. At least one oil-gas separation channel is also provided in the cover body. One end of each oil separation channel in the oil-gas separation channel is connected to the air inlet cavity, and the other end is connected to the outside of the cover body. At least one oil return channel is also provided in the cover body. The oil return channel is constructed to discharge the lubricating oil in the oil-gas separation channel and / or the air inlet cavity. The oil-gas separator disclosed in the present invention is used for oil and gas separation of a scroll compressor. A plurality of oil-gas separation channels and oil return channels are provided in the cover body. The oil-gas separation channel has an oil-gas separation function, which reduces the amount of lubricating oil discharged, improves the reliability of the compressor, enhances the heat exchange performance of the compressor and the energy efficiency of the entire machine, reduces exhaust noise, and reduces the temperature of high-temperature refrigerant gas. However, the oil-gas separator structure is complex and expensive, with multiple oil-gas separation channels, oil return channels, and various internal structures (such as rotating oil baffles and a labyrinth structure). This structure also occupies a large space, which may impose certain limitations on the overall structural design of the compressor.
[0006] In the above structure, the scroll compressor has the following disadvantages:
[0007] (1) The oil-gas separation effect on the exhaust side is poor. During the operation of the compressor, the oil-gas separation link on the exhaust side has obvious defects and fails to achieve the ideal separation effect. Specifically, when the oil-gas mixture passes through the exhaust side, the gaseous refrigerant and the refrigeration oil cannot be effectively separated. This results in the gaseous refrigerant still containing a large amount of refrigeration oil, and the refrigeration oil cannot be completely returned to the area where it should be.
[0008] (2) Poor oil return performance at high compressor speeds and high oil circulation rates (OCR). Poor oil return performance becomes a prominent issue when the compressor is operating at high speeds and high oil circulation rates. Under these high-load operating conditions, the flow rate of the oil-air mixture inside the compressor increases, and the interaction between the oil and air becomes more complex.
[0009] (3) The existing design structure is complex and the cost is high. The current compressor oil separation design is too complex in structure.
[0010] In view of this, the utility model provides a horizontal compressor and a new energy vehicle. Utility Model Content

The outer sidewall of the oil-gas separation chamber 30 at least partially forms the wall of the oblique oil channel 365, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The L-shaped oil outlet line 36 not only serves as an oil outlet channel but also serves to block bubbles generated during the oil separation process, preventing them from flowing downward and affecting the stable oil pool within the front housing.
[0076] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the oil-gas separation chamber 30 forms a separation chamber bottom plate 363, and the first oil outlet 361 provided on the separation chamber bottom plate 363 is connected to the top of the first end of the horizontal oil circuit away from the oblique oil circuit 365, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

A rectifying channel 31 connecting the oil expansion chamber 54 and the first separation chamber 351 is provided inside the oblique boss. The extension direction of the rectifying channel 31 is tangent to the annular flow channel where the first separation chamber 351 is located. The first projection of the first separation chamber 351 based on the horizontal plane and the second projection of the rectifying channel 31 based on the horizontal plane do not overlap with each other, but are not limited to this.
[0080] In a preferred embodiment, the oil-gas separation cover 3 also includes a horizontal baffle 33 and a vertical baffle 34. The horizontal baffle 33 covers the bottom oil pool and is distributed with a plurality of through holes 331. The edge of the horizontal baffle 33 is also provided with a plurality of notches 332.

The vertical baffle 34 is arranged on the upper surface of the horizontal baffle 33 and separates the exhaust hole and the refrigerant outlet 32 in the high-pressure chamber, but is not limited to this.
[0081] In a preferred embodiment, an expansion chamber oil drain port 362 is provided at the bottom of the oil expansion chamber 54, and the expansion chamber oil drain port 362 is connected to the inverted L oil outlet pipeline 36.

[0082] The following is in conjunction with the instructions Figures 1 to 10 To introduce the specific implementation of the horizontal compressor of the utility model:
[0083] Continue to refer Figures 1 to 10(In order to clearly see the oil-gas separation cover 3 inside the compressor, the front shell is omitted in the drawing). The utility model provides a horizontal scroll compressor, wherein the middle shell 1 and the rear shell 2 together form a cavity for accommodating the motor 4, the movable scroll, the static scroll 5, and the oil-gas separation cover 3. The first side of the static scroll 5 facing away from the cavity is provided with an exhaust hole 51 and an oil return port 52. The oil-gas separation cover 3 is covered by the front shell and connected to the first side of the static scroll 5. The oil-gas separation cover 3 includes an oil-gas separation chamber 30 with a core rod 35 therein. The oil-gas separation cover 3 and the static scroll 5 together form an oil expansion chamber 54 connected to the exhaust hole 51. The oil-gas separation chamber 30 is connected to the oil expansion chamber 54 laterally through at least one rectifying channel 31. The bottom of the oil-gas separation chamber 30 is provided with at least one first oil outlet 361 to connect to an inverted L-shaped oil outlet pipeline 36. The upper end of the inverted L-shaped oil outlet pipeline 36 is provided with a second oil outlet 367. The first distance between the first oil outlet 361 and the oil pool surface is less than the second distance between the second oil outlet 367 and the oil pool surface. The refrigerant lubricating oil flowing from the oil-gas separation chamber 30 into the L-shaped oil outlet pipeline 36 flows at least in the direction counter to gravity before overflowing from the second oil outlet 367. The L-shaped oil outlet pipeline 36 comprises a horizontal oil passage and an inclined oil passage 365 extending upward along the outer wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 30. The horizontal oil passage connects to the bottom of the inclined oil passage 365 and is located at the bottom of the oil-gas separation chamber 30. The exterior of the sidewall of the oil-gas separation chamber 30 at least partially forms the wall of the inclined oil passage 365. The bottom of the oil-gas separation chamber 30 forms the separation chamber bottom plate 363. The first oil outlet 361, located on the separation chamber bottom plate 363, connects to the top of the first end of the horizontal oil passage, facing away from the inclined oil passage 365. The horizontal oil circuit also features an arc-shaped guide 366, located below the first oil outlet 361 and directing oil toward the second end of the circuit. A pipeline drain port 364 is also located at the bottom of the second end, connecting it to the oil sump. A high-pressure chamber is formed between the front housing and the stationary scroll 5. This chamber has an exhaust port connected to the outside. A refrigerant outlet 32, connecting to the high-pressure chamber, is located at the top of the oil-gas separation chamber 30. A first tubular separation chamber 351 is formed between the outer wall of the core rod 35 and the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 30. The oil-gas separation cover 3 is provided with a protruding oblique boss on the side facing the static vortex 5. The bottom of the first separation chamber 351 is gathered inward to form a funnel structure. The inner wall of the core rod 35 is surrounded to form a second separation chamber 352. The second separation chamber 352 is a rod-shaped separation chamber. A rectifying channel 31 connecting the oil expansion chamber 54 and the first separation chamber 351 is provided inside the oblique boss. The extension direction of the rectifying channel 31 is tangent to the annular flow channel where the first separation chamber 351 is located. The first projection of the first separation chamber 351 based on the horizontal plane and the second projection of the rectifying channel 31 based on the horizontal plane do not overlap with each other.The oil-gas separation cover 3 also includes a horizontal baffle 33 and a vertical baffle 34. The horizontal baffle 33 covers the bottom oil pool and is distributed with a number of through-holes 331. The edge of the horizontal baffle 33 is also provided with a number of notches 332. The notches 332 and the inner wall of the front shell form a flow channel for the refrigerant lubricating oil after oil and gas separation on the upper portion of the horizontal baffle 33 to pass through and drip into the bottom oil pool. The vertical baffle 34 is arranged on the upper surface of the horizontal baffle 33 and separates the exhaust port from the refrigerant outlet 32 within the high-pressure chamber. An expansion chamber oil drain port 362 is provided at the bottom of the oil separation expansion chamber 54. The expansion chamber oil drain port 362 is connected to the inverted L-shaped oil outlet line 36 to prevent oil accumulation in the inverted L-shaped oil outlet line 36, thereby avoiding oil flow problems.
[0084] During operation of the system of the present invention, the compressed, high-temperature, high-pressure oil-gas mixture is discharged from the exhaust port 51 of the fixed scroll 5 and then enters the oil expansion chamber 54 enclosed by the oil-gas separation cover 3 and the fixed scroll 5. Here, a small portion of the oil-gas mixture escapes through a small opening below the oil expansion chamber 54, while the remaining oil-gas mixture is directed into three inclined rectification channels 31 for rectification before entering the oil-gas separation chamber 30 for oil-gas separation.
[0085] As the oil-gas mixture rotates at high speed around the core rod 35, the dense refrigerant oil, influenced by gravity, flows downward along the sidewalls of the first and second separation chambers 351, 352, and flows rapidly into the horizontal oil path of the L-shaped oil outlet pipe 36 through the first oil outlet 361 at the bottom of the oil-gas separation chamber 30. The accumulated refrigerant oil rises in the horizontal oil path, filling the inclined oil path 365 and overflowing from the L-shaped oil outlet pipe 36 through the second oil outlet 367, dripping into the bottom oil sump. A small buffer oil pool is formed in the L-shaped oil outlet pipe 36 to cushion the impact of high-speed lubricant on the bottom oil sump. Even if a significant impact is caused on the small buffer oil pool in the L-shaped oil outlet pipe 36, only a small amount of refrigerant oil will overflow from the second oil outlet 367. During this process, the L-shaped oil outlet pipe 36 effectively prevents the high-speed refrigerant oil from directly impacting the bottom oil sump, preventing oil level instability and improving separation efficiency and stability. The bottom oil sump of the compressor is connected to the oil return port 52. The oil is then drawn into the low-pressure side through the oil return port by the pressure differential. Furthermore, an expansion chamber drain port 362 is provided at the bottom of the oil expansion chamber 54. This drain port 362 communicates with the L-shaped oil outlet line 36, effectively preventing oil from accumulating in the L-shaped oil outlet line 36 and thus preventing oil flow problems.
[0086] Since the density of the gaseous refrigerant is lower than that of the refrigerant oil, it flows in the opposite direction to the refrigerant oil. After lifting the valve plate 53, the gaseous refrigerant rotates and separates along the first separation chamber 351, then flows downward over the end of the core rod 35, upward into the second separation chamber 352, and then into the high-pressure chamber. Ultimately, it is above the refrigerant oil level and flows out of the compressor (discharged through the exhaust port). However, during this process, a small amount of refrigerant oil will still be carried out of the core rod by the gaseous refrigerant, similarly through the openings in the horizontal baffle, and eventually flow into the refrigerant oil area.
[0087] During operation, the compressor of the present invention displays a clearly discernible oil level, regardless of whether it is operating at high or low speeds, or at high or low oil circulation rates. Compared to previous oil separation structures, the current structure exhibits significantly reduced oil level fluctuations. Specifically, the oil distribution and flow conditions within the compressor are effectively optimized under different combinations of speeds and oil circulation rates. At high speeds, despite the accelerated flow and more complex interactions of the oil-air mixture, the new structural design ensures a relatively stable and clearly measurable oil level. At low speeds, where the oil flow is relatively smooth, the new structure also effectively suppresses potential oil level fluctuations. Across different oil circulation rates, whether rapidly circulating large quantities of oil at high circulation rates or relatively slow flowing oil at low circulation rates, the compressor maintains a clear oil level display with minimal fluctuations. This stable oil level provides strong support for accurate oil quantity monitoring and effective oil return control. Excellent oil level stability directly contributes to excellent oil return performance. The new structure precisely guides oil back to the designated location, reducing oil retention and loss in the system. The optimized oil return path and improved oil return efficiency significantly enhance the lubrication inside the compressor, effectively reducing wear and friction between components, thereby improving the overall performance and reliability of the compressor.
[0088] The present invention also provides a new energy vehicle utilizing the aforementioned horizontal compressor. The remaining relevant technical features and effects are as previously described and will not be elaborated upon here. This invention contributes to improving the overall NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) of new energy vehicles. This is a comprehensive measure of vehicle manufacturing quality that is most directly and superficially perceived by vehicle users.
[0089] In summary, the horizontal compressor and new energy vehicle of the present invention can effectively prevent high-speed flowing lubricating oil from directly impacting the bottom oil pool, avoid causing an unstable oil surface, and improve separation efficiency and stability.

For those skilled in the art of the present invention, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made, which should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
