Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model discloses a structure for reducing the working temperature of a motor in an aluminum wire and copper clad aluminum wire compressor, relates to the technical field of compressors, and in particular to a structure for reducing the working temperature of a motor in an aluminum wire and copper clad aluminum wire compressor. Background Art
[0002] For scroll compressors, motor temperature is a key technical parameter to monitor. To reduce costs, some new compressors are developed using more economical aluminum / copper-clad aluminum wire for the compressor motor. Because aluminum and copper-clad aluminum wire have lower electrical conductivity than copper wire, more electrical energy is converted into heat in the motor windings during compressor operation, causing the motor temperature to rise above that of traditional copper-wire motors. This is particularly true for high-horsepower and high-speed models. When the motor operates at high temperatures, in the short term, it increases power consumption, reducing the compressor's cooling efficiency and failing to achieve performance targets. Furthermore, the motor protector's operating parameters are closely related to motor temperature. When the motor temperature is high, the protector may not activate under appropriate operating conditions, weakening its protective effect. In the long term, prolonged operation of the motor at high winding temperatures significantly reduces its service life, failing to achieve compressor reliability targets.
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, it is very necessary to research and design a new structure for reducing the operating temperature of the motor in the aluminum wire and copper-clad aluminum wire compressor, so as to overcome the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the technical problem raised in the above-mentioned prior art that the high heat generation of aluminum wire / copper clad aluminum wire motors leads to insufficient compressor performance and reliability, a structure for reducing the operating temperature of motors in aluminum wire and copper clad aluminum wire compressors is provided. The utility model mainly provides an air deflector at the air inlet of the compressor to drain the low-temperature refrigerant sucked into the compressor, so that the refrigerant is no longer directly blown into the vortex assembly for the compression process, but is blown to the motor and the motor winding for convection heat exchange to cool the motor. In addition, a small amount of refrigerant is blown to the refrigerator oil pool to cool the refrigerator oil, and then the oil is sucked into the hollow interior of the crankshaft through the oil suction port at the bottom of the crankshaft. Finally, the refrigerator oil with a lower temperature is splashed onto the point machine through a specially processed oil spray hole to cool the motor again, and then flows back to the lower cover oil pool under the action of gravity to complete the cooling motor cycle.
[0005] The technical means adopted by this utility model are as follows:
[0006] A structure for reducing the operating temperature of a motor in an aluminum wire and copper-clad aluminum wire compressor comprises: a movable scroll, an upper support, an intake pipe, a crankshaft, a motor, and a lower support; the motor is mounted on the crankshaft and the compressor housing; the crankshaft is a hollow structure, limited in the axial direction by the bearing mating surfaces of the movable scroll, the upper support, and the lower support, and limited in the thrust surface of the lower support; the intake pipe is provided on the compressor housing;
[0007] Furthermore, the intake pipe is provided with an air-bending plate at the inner opening of the compressor housing, so that part of the low-temperature refrigerant entering the compressor from the intake pipe is directly blown to the motor to cool the motor, and the other part of the low-temperature refrigerant is blown to the refrigeration oil at the bottom of the compressor to cool it;
[0008] Furthermore, the crankshaft is machined with oil holes at the positions of the respective bearing mating surfaces, and the oil holes are communicated with the hollow interior of the crankshaft;
[0009] Furthermore, during the operation of the crankshaft, the oil suction port at the bottom of the crankshaft sucks the cooled refrigeration oil into the hollow interior of the crankshaft, and then splashes the refrigeration oil around the motor through the oil hole, thereby achieving a cooling effect again.
[0010] Furthermore, when the compressor is in operation, low-temperature refrigerant continuously enters the interior of the compressor, and the motor can be maintained at a relatively low operating temperature, thereby stabilizing various parameters of the compressor, such as cooling capacity, power, and current.
[0011] Furthermore, the deflector is a suitable structure with four-sided rings, welded to the inner side of the compressor housing through three welding points, facing the intake pipe, located on the upper part of the motor, with the mouth facing downward.
[0012] Furthermore, the deflector is composed of a left baffle, a front baffle, an upper baffle and a right baffle, forming a suitable structure surrounded by four sides, which blocks the refrigerant entering from the suction pipe from directly rushing towards the moving scroll, forcing the low-temperature refrigerant to flow in the direction of the motor and the refrigeration oil to achieve a cooling effect.
[0013] Furthermore, after the special deflector guides the low-temperature refrigerant, it is either cooled by blowing it directly to the motor, or the refrigeration oil is cooled first and then indirectly to the motor through the oil holes on the crankshaft, forming a cooling solution for high-heat-generating motors (aluminum wire / copper-clad aluminum wire), thereby improving the performance and reliability of the compressor.
[0014] Furthermore, the oil hole adopts a bell-mouth design with a flaring angle of 60°, so that the refrigeration oil in the crankshaft can form a large-scale splash at the oil outlet. In addition to lubricating the bearing mating surface, the refrigeration oil can also achieve the purpose of cooling the motor through splashing.
[0015] The working process of this utility model is:
[0016] When the scroll compressor is operating, a steady stream of refrigerant enters the compressor cavity through the air intake. Normally, the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant drawn in has a low density and flows toward the upward moving scroll, undergoing the compression process. After the air vents are installed, the surrounding structure of the air vents acts as a guide, forcing the refrigerant to flow toward the bottom of the compressor, with some of the refrigerant blowing directly toward the motor. Because the winding of the aluminum / copper-clad aluminum motor generates a significant amount of harmful heat during operation, the motor temperature will always be higher than the temperature of the low-temperature refrigerant drawn into the compressor. The low-temperature refrigerant airflow continuously flushes through the motor, cooling it through convection heat transfer.
[0017] In addition, another portion of the low-temperature refrigerant flows downward and is blown toward the refrigeration oil sump, cooling the refrigeration oil at the bottom of the compressor. When the compressor is running, the crankshaft rotates at high speed. Centrifugal force draws the refrigeration oil from the oil intake into the crankshaft cavity, where it flows upward against gravity. This low-temperature refrigerant oil is then splashed onto the motor surface through special oil holes on the outside, where it is cooled again. The splashed oil then flows back to the oil sump under the lower cover under the action of gravity, completing the motor cooling cycle.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:
[0019] 1. The design provided by this utility model for reducing the operating temperature of the motor in aluminum wire and copper-clad aluminum wire compressors achieves the purpose of controlling the flow direction of the refrigerant in the compressor cavity by providing an air deflector at the compressor suction port. Compared with other methods for guiding air flow inside the compressor, this method is low-cost, relatively simple in process, suitable for mass production, and does not require changes to the external dimensions of the compressor or the structure of other internal components.
[0020] 2. The utility model provides a design for reducing the operating temperature of the motor in the aluminum wire and copper clad aluminum wire compressor. The crankshaft oil hole is processed into a bell mouth to achieve dual functions, which can not only complete the basic lubrication function, but also achieve the effect of splashing out the refrigeration oil.
[0021] 3. The design provided by the present invention for reducing the operating temperature of the motor in aluminum wire and copper-clad aluminum wire compressors involves machining of the deflector and crankshaft oil hole with relatively low machining difficulty, and does not require changes to the structure and assembly relationship of other components inside the compressor. Therefore, this design is highly economical in cost-reduction solutions for compressors that switch from copper wire motors to aluminum wire motors.
[0022] 4. The design provided by the present invention for reducing the operating temperature of the motor in the aluminum wire and copper-clad aluminum wire compressor significantly reduces the operating temperature of the motor and increases the service life of the motor, thereby improving the overall reliability of the compressor;
[0023] 5. The design provided by the present invention reduces the operating temperature of the motor in the aluminum wire and copper clad aluminum wire compressors, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the compressor by reducing the motor power, making it possible for low-cost aluminum wire / copper clad aluminum wire compressors to be applied in markets such as Europe and North America that have more stringent energy efficiency requirements.
[0024] In summary, the technical solution of the present invention solves the problem in the prior art that the aluminum wire / copper clad aluminum wire motor generates high heat, resulting in insufficient compressor performance and reliability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the intake pipe 4 is located at the inner side of the compressor housing and is provided with an air-bending plate 3, so that a part of the low-temperature refrigerant entering the compressor from the intake pipe 4 is directly blown to the motor 6 to cool the motor 6, and the other part of the low-temperature refrigerant is blown to the refrigeration oil 8 at the bottom of the compressor for cooling; the crankshaft 5 is processed with oil holes 5-1 at the positions of the bearing mating surfaces, and the oil holes 5-1 are connected to the hollow interior of the crankshaft 5; the oil suction port 5-2 at the bottom of the crankshaft 5 sucks the cooled refrigeration oil 8 into the hollow interior of the crankshaft 5, and then splashes the refrigeration oil 8 to the surrounding of the motor 6 through the oil hole 5-1, thereby achieving the cooling effect again.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the deflector 3 is a four-sided ring structure, which is welded to the inner side of the compressor housing through three welding points 3-1, facing the intake pipe 4, located on the upper part of the motor 6, with the mouth facing downward.
[0041] like Figure 3As shown, the air folding piece 3 is composed of a left baffle 3-2, a front baffle 3-3, an upper baffle 3-4 and a right baffle 3-5, forming a four-sided ring structure, which blocks the way of the refrigerant from the suction pipe 4 directly rushing to the direction of the moving scroll 1, forces the low-temperature refrigerant to flow in the direction of the motor 6 and the refrigerating oil 8, and achieves the cooling effect.
[0042] As shown, Figure 4 As shown, the oil hole 5-1 adopts a bell mouth design, and the flared angle of the oil hole 5-1 is 60°, so that the refrigerating oil 8 in the crankshaft 5 can form a large range of splashing at the oil outlet, and the refrigerating oil 8 can not only lubricate the bearing matching surface, but also achieve the purpose of cooling the motor 6 through splashing.
[0043] The air folding piece 3 is welded on the inner side of the compressor shell, and the front baffle 3-3 faces the compressor suction pipe 4.
