Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air compressors, in particular to a two-stage tandem screw air compressor. Background Art

[0002] Air compressors, a key gas compression device, are primarily classified into two types: reciprocating piston and screw. In today's air compressor technology, two-stage screw compressors are increasingly being used to improve compression efficiency.

[0003] In existing technologies, two-stage screw compressors generally employ a design where the primary and secondary rotor groups are arranged in parallel. This design aims to reduce the compression ratio of a single rotor group, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving compression efficiency. However, during the gas compression process, the gas flow path between the rotor groups in this type of screw compressor with parallel rotor groups has many bends, resulting in increased flow losses and relatively low overall compression efficiency. Utility Model Content

The first-stage drive motor is installed on the front side of the first-stage compression assembly, connected to the first-stage positive rotor, and used to drive the first-stage positive rotor to rotate; the second-stage drive motor is installed on the rear side of the second-stage compression assembly, connected to the second-stage positive rotor, and used to drive the second-stage positive rotor to rotate.

[0018] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] At the same time, in order to clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application, the following are also defined: Figure 1 Upper, lower, front, back, left and right sides shown.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present application provides a two-stage tandem screw air compressor, which includes a first-stage compression assembly 11 , a first-stage drive motor 12 , a second-stage compression assembly 13 , a flow guide 14 , and a second-stage drive motor 15 .

[0021] Specifically, the first-stage compression assembly 11 includes a first-stage body 111 and a first-stage rotor assembly disposed within the first-stage body 111. The first-stage rotor assembly includes a first-stage male rotor 112 and a first-stage female rotor 113. Both the first-stage male rotor 112 and the first-stage female rotor 113 are rotatably disposed within the first-stage body 111 and mesh with each other. The first-stage female rotor 113 is at least partially disposed to the left of the first-stage male rotor 112. A first air inlet 114 is provided at the top of the first-stage body 111, and a first air outlet 115 is provided at the bottom rear end.

[0022] The first-stage driving motor 12 is installed at the front side of the first-stage compression assembly 11 and is connected to the first-stage male rotor 112 to drive the first-stage male rotor 112 to rotate.

[0023] The secondary compression assembly 13 is mounted to the rear of the primary compression assembly 11 and includes a secondary housing 131 and a secondary rotor assembly disposed within the secondary housing. The secondary rotor assembly includes a secondary male rotor 132 and a secondary female rotor 133. Both the secondary male rotor 132 and the secondary female rotor 133 are rotatably disposed within the secondary housing 131 and mesh with each other. The secondary female rotor 133 is at least partially disposed to the left of the secondary male rotor 132. A second air inlet 134 is provided at the rear bottom of the secondary housing 131, and a second air outlet 135 is provided at the top.

[0024] The flow guide 14 is installed at the bottom of the first-stage body 111 and the second-stage body 131 to form a gas flow channel connecting the first gas outlet 115 and the second gas inlet 134 .

[0025] The secondary drive motor 15 is installed at the rear side of the secondary compression assembly 13 and is connected to the secondary male rotor 132 to drive the secondary male rotor 132 to rotate.

[0026] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the air compressor uses a two-stage compression assembly to compress the gas, effectively reducing the pressure ratio of each stage of the compression assembly, reducing internal leakage, thereby improving compression efficiency and achieving energy conservation and emission reduction. During the operation of the air compressor, the compressed gas enters from the first air inlet 114, is compressed by the first-stage male rotor 112 and the first-stage female rotor 113, and is discharged from the first air outlet 115. Subsequently, the gas flows through the guide member 14 to the second air inlet 134, and is compressed by the second-stage male rotor 132 and the second-stage female rotor 133, and is discharged from the second air outlet 135. When the gas flows through the first-stage compression assembly 11 and the second-stage compression assembly 13, the number of turns is reduced, thereby reducing the flow loss of the gas in the air compressor and further improving the compression efficiency of the air compressor.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, an oil mist nozzle 141 is provided on the rear side of the guide member 14. The oil mist nozzle 141 is connected to the external oil circuit of the secondary compression assembly 13. The oil mist can be sprayed into the guide member 14 to cool it down, thereby achieving approximate isothermal compression in the gas compression process, effectively reducing the power consumption of the air compressor and improving the compression efficiency.

[0028] The first-stage drive motor 12 and the first-stage male rotor 112 are coaxially integrated, achieving efficient and lossless energy transmission. Compared with the common coupling or gear transmission structure in the industry, this design has significant transmission efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, the primary drive motor 12 and the primary male rotor 112 are integrally arranged, driving the primary male rotor 112 to rotate coaxially, thereby reducing transmission losses between the primary drive motor 12 and the primary male rotor 112. At the same time, the integrated design reduces the use of connecting structures, making the overall structure of the device more compact and reducing vibration and noise during use.

[0030] The secondary drive motor 15 and the secondary male rotor 132 are integrally arranged to drive the secondary male rotor 132 to rotate coaxially, thereby reducing transmission loss between the secondary drive motor 15 and the secondary male rotor 132 .

[0031] The two-stage compression components are integrated with their respective drive motors, making the overall layout of the air compressor more flexible and helping to optimize the overall weight distribution and space utilization.

[0032] Furthermore, the first-stage drive motor 12 adopts variable frequency control to achieve stepless speed regulation to match the optimal operating state under different pressure conditions.

[0033] The first-stage drive motor 12 also adopts variable frequency control to achieve stepless speed regulation. Both the first-stage drive motor 12 and the second-stage drive motor 15 adopt variable frequency control technology, which can control the air intake and pressure output of the air compressor in a wide range and can be applied to different industrial needs.

[0034] Specifically, by monitoring the operating pressure changes of the first-stage compression assembly 11 and the second-stage compression assembly 13, the first-stage drive motor 12 and the second-stage drive motor 15 can be controlled in a coordinated manner. By adjusting the speed of both, the air compressor can always operate at the optimal efficiency point, thereby optimizing the overall performance of the air compressor compression process.

[0035] The above is a description of the embodiments of the present invention. Through the above description of the disclosed embodiments, professional and technical personnel in the field can implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to professional and technical personnel in the field. The general principles defined in this article can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but should conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
