[0038] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application.

[0039] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An oil-blocking end cover for improving oil circulation of a compressor, the oil-blocking end cover 100 comprises a first baffle 110 and a second baffle 120, the first baffle 110 is located at a middle position of the oil-blocking end cover 100, the second baffle 120 is located at an edge position of the oil-blocking end cover 100, and the second baffle 120 is located at an upper end position of the first baffle 110.

[0042] For example, the first baffle 110 is a circular plate structure, and the second baffle 120 is a circular ring plate structure. In combination with the positions of the first baffle 110 and the second baffle 120 on the oil-blocking end cover 100, it can be known that the first baffle 110 is located inside the second baffle 120, and there is a height difference between the first baffle 110 and the second baffle 120.

[0043] The difference in position distribution of the first baffle 110 and the second baffle 120 can shield the refrigerant and oil mist passing through different positions, and the height difference between the first baffle 110 and the second baffle 120 can disperse part of the refrigerant and oil mist, so as to further achieve the purpose of improving oil circulation.

[0044] A plurality of first through holes 130 for discharging the refrigerant and oil mist upward are arranged on the first baffle 110. As described above, the first baffle 110 is a circular plate structure, and the plurality of first through holes 130 can be uniformly or non-uniformly distributed on the first baffle 110. In the present embodiment, the distribution mode of the plurality of first through holes 130, the number and aperture size of the first through holes 130 are not specifically limited, and can be adjusted according to the implementation requirements.

[0045] The hole diameter of the first through hole 130 decreases from top to bottom. For example, the first baffle 110 includes an upper surface and a lower surface arranged oppositely, the first through hole 130 penetrates the upper surface and the lower surface, and the first through hole 130 is a tapered hole. The hole diameter gradually decreases along the upper surface of the first baffle 110 towards the lower surface of the first baffle 110. This structure design can reduce the flow rate of the refrigerant and oil mist when passing through, which is beneficial to retain the refrigerant oil in the compressor.

[0046] The second baffle 120 is provided with a plurality of side discharge structures 140 for laterally discharging the refrigerant and oil mist. As known, the second baffle 120 is located at the upper end of the first baffle 110. This height difference arrangement can disperse part of the refrigerant and oil mist. The side discharge structure 140 changes the original upward discharge of the refrigerant and oil mist to lateral discharge, i.e., diffuses towards the outer periphery of the oil blocking end cover relative to the center of the oil blocking end cover. When the oil blocking end cover is applied to the compressor, part of the oil mist can adhere to the inner wall of the compressor shell and flow back to the bottom of the compressor due to its own gravity, thereby improving the oil circulation of the compressor.

[0047] It should be noted that the number of side discharge structures 140 and the distribution relationship between the side discharge structures 140 are not specifically limited in the present embodiment and can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the number of side discharge structures 140 is six, and the six side discharge structures 140 are uniformly and circumferentially distributed on the second baffle 120 to achieve the effect of uniformly shielding and diffusing the refrigerant and oil mist in the circumferential direction.

[0048] In some embodiments, the side discharge structure 140 includes a second through hole 141 and a shielding portion 142. The shielding portion 142 is shielded above the second through hole 141, and the shielding portion 142 is provided with an opening 142a towards the outer periphery of the oil blocking end cover to achieve the effect of laterally diffusing the refrigerant and oil mist from the center to the outer periphery.

[0049] For example, the shielding portion 142 has a 7-shaped structure including a vertical shielding segment and a horizontal shielding segment. The vertical shielding segment is located on one side of the second through hole 141 and is close to the first baffle 110. The horizontal shielding segment is located above the second through hole 141. The opening 142a is located on the opposite side of the vertical shielding segment, i.e., towards the outer periphery of the oil blocking end cover. The structure design of the shielding portion 142 can make the refrigerant and oil mist laterally discharge through the opening 142a when discharging upwards through the second through hole 141, due to the shielding effect of the horizontal shielding segment in the upward direction and the shielding effect of the vertical shielding segment in the lateral direction, thereby achieving the effect of laterally diffusing the refrigerant and oil mist from the center to the outer periphery.

[0050] Of course, the structure of the shielding portion 142 is not specifically limited in the present embodiment, and can be appropriately adjusted according to actual needs, as long as the shielding effect on the upper side of the second through hole 141 and the effect of causing the refrigerant and the oil mist to laterally spread from the center to the outer circumferential direction are achieved.

[0051] In some embodiments, the oil blocking end cover further comprises a first surrounding plate 150 connected between the first baffle plate 110 and the second baffle plate 120, to ensure that the refrigerant and the oil mist can only be discharged outward through the first through hole 130 and the side discharge structure 140, thereby improving the compressor oil circulation.

[0052] That is, the first baffle plate 110 is designed to be sunken relative to the second baffle plate 120, and the first surrounding plate 150 is connected between the first baffle plate 110 and the second baffle plate 120. On the one hand, it can ensure that there is no gap between the first baffle plate 110 and the second baffle plate 120 for the refrigerant and the oil mist to pass through directly. On the other hand, it can ensure that part of the oil mist discharged upward through the first through hole 130 of the first baffle plate 110 adheres to the first surrounding plate 150, thereby reducing the refrigeration oil mist entering the air conditioning system and improving the compressor oil circulation.

[0053] Further, the cross-sectional area of the first surrounding plate 150 gradually increases in a direction away from the first baffle plate 110, so as to facilitate the oil mist adhering to the first surrounding plate 150 to fall back under the action of its own gravity.

[0054] For example, the first surrounding plate 150 is in the shape of a hollow circular truncated cone, and its diameter gradually increases from bottom to top. That is, the first surrounding plate 150 is designed to have a slope, which can increase the area for the oil mist to adhere to and facilitate the oil mist to fall back under its own gravity after being collected.

[0055] The oil blocking end cover for improving compressor oil circulation provided in the present embodiment can reduce the flow rate of the refrigerant and the oil mist when they pass through the first through hole 130 by setting the first through hole 130 to have a hole diameter that decreases from top to bottom, which is conducive to retaining the refrigeration oil in the compressor. The side discharge structure 140 can disrupt the movement track of the refrigerant and the oil mist, causing the refrigerant and the oil mist to laterally spread from the center to the outer circumferential direction and flow back to the bottom of the compressor, thereby effectively improving the compressor oil circulation and ensuring the performance of the compressor and prolonging the service life of the pump parts.

[0059] The second baffle 160 extends downward at the edge of the second baffle 120, and the second connecting part 161 is connected to the first connecting part 210 on the outer side of the frame body 200, so that the refrigerant and the oil mist can be enclosed in the second baffle 160, and it is further ensured that the refrigerant and the oil mist can only be discharged through the first through hole 130 and the side discharge structure 140, so that the purpose of improving the compressor oil circulation is achieved.

[0060] Further, the first connecting part 210 is a limiting hole, and the second connecting part 161 is a limiting block, the limiting block is limited in the limiting hole, and the connection relationship between the frame body 200 and the oil blocking end cover is established, the connection mode can be manually completed without the help of external installation tools, and the assembly efficiency is effectively improved.

[0061] In one example, the number of the first connecting part 210 and the second connecting part 161 is three, and the three first connecting parts 210 are uniformly and spacedly distributed along the outer side of the frame body 200, and it can be understood that the distribution positions of the three second connecting parts 161 on the second baffle 160 correspond to the three first connecting parts 210 one by one, so as to play a uniform and stable connection role.

[0062] The motor frame provided in the embodiment can reduce the discharge amount of the refrigeration oil while ensuring the circulation of the refrigerant after the oil blocking end cover for improving the compressor oil circulation is applied, so that the purpose of improving the oil circulation is achieved.

[0066] Since the rotor 300 rotates at the inner side of the stator 400, there is a certain gap between the rotor 300 and the inner side of the stator 400, and the refrigerant and the oil mist can be discharged through the gap, so that the oil blocking end cover covers the gap between the rotor 300 and the stator 400 to ensure the better shielding effect on the discharged refrigerant and oil mist.

[0067] Further, the outer periphery of the stator 400 is formed with a plurality of flow-through grooves 410 extending in the radial direction, and the oil blocking end cover covers the flow-through grooves 410 to ensure the oil blocking effect of the oil blocking end cover.
