Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compressor technology, and more specifically, to a low-vibration variable displacement compressor. Background Technology

[0002] Variable displacement compressors are a new type of compressor that can automatically adjust their displacement as needed. The advantage of variable displacement compressors lies in their ability to adjust displacement according to actual demand, avoiding the energy waste problem of traditional compressors under high pressure, thus improving compressor efficiency and performance. Compared with fixed displacement compressors, variable displacement compressors are not affected by engine speed and can automatically adjust power output according to cooling demand, thus having less impact on engine fuel consumption. They are widely used in automotive air conditioning systems, automatically adjusting cooling capacity according to the vehicle's interior temperature and load, providing more stable cooling effects and lower energy consumption. Existing variable displacement compressors use a swashplate assembly to drive the piston to compress the refrigerant. The swashplate needs to perform periodic reciprocating motion. During the swashplate's movement, it is disturbed by high-pressure gas, resulting in random fluctuations and potential rigid collisions with other components, inevitably producing periodic vibrations and noise.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors discovered that existing vibration reduction solutions generally use springs or rubber damping sleeves to buffer the swashplate. However, existing buffers use the same specifications, while the reciprocating motion of the swashplate is subject to different forces. If the buffer's elasticity is too high, it may not be able to completely alleviate the swashplate's vibration; if the buffer's elasticity is too low, it may generate additional vibration, meaning that the vibration cannot be effectively reduced. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors researched and improved the existing structure to provide a low-vibration variable displacement compressor, aiming to achieve a more practical purpose.

[0014] 3. Beneficial effects

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0016] (1) This solution reduces the unstable vibration during the movement of the swashplate by setting buffer one and buffer two on both sides of the swashplate, thereby reducing the probability of the swashplate resonating with other components, and thus reducing the probability of the compressor body resonating as a whole, improving the reliability of the compressor and the life of the bracket.

[0017] (2) This solution, by setting a sealing component in the groove, can reduce the intrusion of external dust, reduce the probability of damage to the main shaft, suppress the vibration increase caused by damage to the drive shaft, and greatly improve the vibration reduction effect of the compressor.

[0018] (3) In this scheme, by setting the rubber damping pad, the elasticity of the rubber damping pad is less than the stiffness of the corresponding spring, so as to reduce the influence of the rubber damping pad on the stiffness and resonance of the spring, and the preload of the spring can be adjusted by adjusting the specifications of the rubber damping pad.

[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0037] Example:

[0038] Please see Figure 1-4 A low-vibration variable displacement compressor includes a housing 1, with a front cover 2 and a rear cover 3 installed at both ends of the housing 1. A cylinder 4 is installed inside the housing 1. A main shaft 5 is rotatably connected between the cylinder 4 and the front cover 2. A rotating body 6 is installed on the outer periphery of one end of the main shaft 5. A swash plate 7 is slidably sleeved on the outer periphery of the main shaft 5, and the swash plate 7 is located between the cylinder 4 and the rotating body 6. A buffer element 1 8 and a buffer element 2 9 are provided on the outer periphery of the main shaft 5. The buffer element 1 8 is located between the rotating body 6 and the swash plate 7, and the buffer element 2 9 is located between the swash plate 7 and the cylinder 4. A pulley assembly 10 is provided on the outer periphery of the end of the front cover 2 away from the housing 1. A groove is provided on one end of the pulley assembly 10, and a sealing component 11 is installed in the groove.

[0039] In the above scheme, buffer components 8 and 9 are located on both sides of the swashplate 7, and the preload of buffer components 8 and 9 is different. This reduces unstable vibrations during the movement of the swashplate 7, lowers the probability of resonance between the swashplate 7 and other components, and also lowers the probability of resonance of the compressor body as a whole, thereby improving the reliability of the compressor and the life of the bracket. At the same time, a sealing component 11 is set in the groove.

[0040] In at least one embodiment, the preload of the buffer component in the direction of greater force is set to be larger, so as to reduce the compression distance of the buffer component of the swashplate 7, thereby reducing the vibration generated during the rebound of the buffer component. The preload of the buffer component in the direction of less force is set to be smaller, so as to prevent the swashplate 7 from directly colliding with the buffer component due to insufficient elasticity, thereby effectively reducing the vibration caused by the movement of the swashplate 7. The preload of the buffer component can be adjusted by adjusting the material of the buffer component, adding preload components, etc. to achieve the difference in preload.

[0041] See Figure 3 and Figure 4The cylinder body 4 is internally provided with a support part 401 and a support part 402. The buffer component 8 includes a rubber damping pad 801 and a spring 802. The rubber damping pad 801 is installed at one end of the rotating body 6, and the spring 802 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the main shaft 5, with both ends contacting the rubber damping pad 801 and the swashplate 7, respectively. The buffer component 9 includes a rubber damping pad 901 and a spring 902. The rubber damping pad 901 is installed at one end of the support part 401, and the spring 902 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the main shaft 5, with both ends contacting the swashplate 7 and the rubber damping pad 901, respectively. A positioning part is provided at one end of the main shaft 5 near the cylinder body 4, and a thrust bearing 12 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the positioning part. The thrust bearing 12 is located between the main shaft 5 and the support part 402 provided in the cylinder body 4. In use, the thrust bearing 12 can effectively prevent the main shaft 5 from moving axially, support and guide it, and reduce friction and wear, thereby reducing the vibration of the main shaft 5 and thus reducing the vibration of the compressor.

[0042] In the above scheme, the elasticity of rubber damping pad 801 is less than the stiffness of spring 802, and the elasticity of rubber damping pad 901 is less than the stiffness of spring 902, so as to reduce the influence of the stiffness of spring 802 and spring 902, and the influence of resonance between rubber damping pad 801 and spring 802, and between rubber damping pad 901 and spring 902. Furthermore, the preload of spring 802 and spring 902 can be adjusted by adjusting the specifications of rubber damping pad 801 and rubber damping pad 901, thereby improving the vibration damping effect of the compressor.

[0043] See Figure 2 The sealing assembly 11 includes a seal 1101 and a fixing bolt 1102. An annular sleeve is provided on one side of the seal 1101, and one end of the main shaft 5 near the front cover 2 extends into the annular sleeve. An annular groove is provided on the other side of the seal 1101, and a mounting hole penetrating the seal 1101 is provided at the center of the annular groove. The fixing bolt 1102 is provided in the annular groove, and one end of the fixing bolt 1102 passes through the mounting hole and is threadedly connected to the main shaft 5.

[0044] In the above solution, the cooperation between the seal 1101 and the fixing bolt 1102 greatly improves the overall sealing performance of the equipment, reduces the intrusion of external dust, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the main shaft 5, suppressing the vibration increase caused by damage to the main shaft 5, and greatly improving the vibration reduction effect of the compressor.
