[0003] During the operation of an oil-injected screw compressor, lubricating oil is injected into the compression chamber to lubricate and cool the rotor in the compression chamber, thereby reducing the working temperature.

In detail, the compressor housing 110, the oil groove 120, and the oil-gas bucket 130 are integrally casted into a structure, which not only can significantly improve the structural strength, reduce the assembly process, improve the manufacturing efficiency, and reduce the manufacturing cost, but also can improve the sealing performance to effectively reduce the oil-gas leakage phenomenon. In addition, since the compressor housing 110, the oil groove 120, and the oil-gas bucket 130 are integrally casted, not only can the complex geometric modeling design be realized, but also the compactness of the structural configuration can be improved to reduce the volume.
[0039] As shown in FIG. 1A , FIG. 1B , FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B , the motor 140 and the first mounting base 150 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the compressor housing 110, wherein the oil filter 160 is arranged on the first mounting base 150 and located outside the first mounting base 150. In addition, the second mounting base 170 is arranged on the oil-gas bucket 130, wherein the oil fine separator 180 is arranged on the second mounting base 170 and located outside the second mounting base 170. Based on the above mounting configuration, the compactness of the structural configuration can be improved to reduce the volume.
[0040] For example, the first mounting base 150 can be locked and fixed to the compressor housing 110 by bolts, screws, or other locking parts. In addition, the second mounting base 170 can be locked and fixed to the top 131 of the oil-gas bucket 130 by bolts, screws, or other locking parts.
[0041] As shown in FIG. 1B to FIG. 1DAs shown, the first mount 150 includes an oil filter seat 151 and a bearing seat 152, and the oil filter seat 151 and the bearing seat 152 are integrally cast into a structure, which not only can significantly improve the structural strength, reduce the assembly process, improve the manufacturing efficiency and reduce the manufacturing cost, but also can improve the sealing to effectively reduce the oil and gas leakage phenomenon. In addition, because the oil filter seat 151 and the bearing seat 152 are integrally cast, not only can the complex geometric modeling design be realized, but also the compactness of the structural configuration can be improved to reduce the volume.
[0042] As FIG. 1D , FIG. 1E , FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C In the present embodiment, the oil filter 160 is arranged on the oil filter seat 151, and the first mount 150 has an oil and gas flow channel 152a and a bearing mounting space 152b formed in the bearing seat 152. In detail, the oil and gas flow channel 152a and the bearing mounting space 152b are separated from each other, the oil and gas flow channel 152a extends along an arc-shaped path from the lower to the upper of the periphery of the bearing mounting space 152b to the oil and gas bucket 130, and the compression chamber 111 of the compressor housing 110 is communicated with the oil and gas bucket 130 through the oil and gas flow channel 152a.
[0043] The compressor structure 100 further includes a first rotor 101 and a second rotor 102 arranged in parallel in the compression chamber 111 and a first bearing 103 and a second bearing 104 arranged in parallel in the bearing mounting space 152b, wherein the first rotor 101 is coupled to the motor 140, and the first rotor 101 and the second rotor 102 can be two screw rods engaged with each other. On the other hand, the end 101a of the first rotor 101 is inserted into the bearing mounting space 152b, and the first bearing 103 is sleeved on the end 101a of the first rotor 101. The end 102a of the second rotor 102 is inserted into the bearing mounting space 152b, and the second bearing 104 is sleeved on the end 102a of the second rotor 102.
[0044] For example, the first rotor 101 and the second rotor 102 engaged with each other can be arranged horizontally left and right, but not limited thereto, the first rotor 101 and the second rotor 102 engaged with each other can also be arranged vertically up and down, or arranged with a height difference between the long axes (or rotation axes) of each other in the direction of gravity GD.
[0045] As FIG. 1A , FIG. 1C and FIG. 2CAs shown, the first mounting base 150 further comprises a bearing seat cover 153 arranged on the bearing seat 152 to cover or enclose the bearing mounting space 152b and the oil-gas flow channel 152a. For example, the bearing seat cover 153 can be locked and fixed on the bearing seat 152 by bolts, screws or other locking parts to cover or enclose the bearing mounting space 152b and the oil-gas flow channel 152a, which not only prevents oil leakage, foreign matter invasion or water vapor invasion, but also improves the convenience of cleaning, replacement or maintenance.
[0046] As shown in FIG. 1A , FIG. 1B and FIG. 1E , the oil groove 120 is arranged below the compressor housing 110, and the oil-gas bucket 130 is arranged at the side of the oil groove 120. In addition, the motor 140 and the first mounting base 150 are arranged at opposite sides of the compressor housing 110, respectively, and the oil-gas bucket 130 is in communication with the oil-gas flow channel 152a of the bearing seat 152 to be arranged opposite to the motor 140 through the bearing seat 152.
[0047] As shown in FIG. 1C , FIG. 2B , FIG. 2C and FIG. 2D , the oil filter 160 can be in communication with the compression cavity 111 through the first mounting base 150, specifically through the oil filter seat 151. In detail, the oil filter seat 151 has a first internal oil passage 151a, and the compressor housing 110 further has a second internal oil passage 112 in communication with the compression cavity 111. The first internal oil passage 151a is in communication with the second internal oil passage 112, and the oil filter 160 is in communication with the compression cavity 111 through the first internal oil passage 151a and the second internal oil passage 112. On the other hand, the compressor housing 110 further has a first oil injection hole 113 arranged corresponding to the first rotor 101 and a second oil injection hole 114 arranged corresponding to the second rotor 102, and the second internal oil passage 112 is in communication with the compression cavity 111 through the first oil injection hole 113 and the second oil injection hole 114.
[0048] Firstly, solid impurities in the lubricating oil can be filtered out by the oil filter 160, then the lubricating oil is transported from the oil filter 160 to the first internal oil passage 151a, and then transported from the first internal oil passage 151a to the second internal oil passage 112. Then, the lubricating oil is injected or sprayed into the compression cavity 111 from the second internal oil passage 112 through the first oil injection hole 113 and the second oil injection hole 114 to lubricate and cool the first rotor 101 and the second rotor 102.
[0049] For example, the hole axes of the first oil injection hole 113 and the second oil injection hole 114 are not perpendicular to the long axes or rotation axes of the first rotor 101 and the second rotor 102, but are inclined to the long axes or rotation axes of the first rotor 101 and the second rotor 102. Therefore, the design of injection or injection of lubricating oil into the compression chamber 111 is a design of oblique injection or oblique injection, so as to lubricate and cool the first rotor 101 and the second rotor 102 in a larger range.
[0050] As shown in FIG. 1A , FIG. 1E , FIG. 2C and FIG. 2E , the oil separator 180 can be connected to the oil-gas bucket 130 through the second mounting seat 170. In detail, the second mounting seat 170 includes an oil-gas separation cylinder 171 and a bucket cover 172 connected to the oil-gas separation cylinder 171, and the oil-gas separation cylinder 171 and the bucket cover 172 can be an integral structure. The top 131 of the oil-gas bucket 130 has a top opening 131a, wherein the second mounting seat 170 is arranged on the top 131 and covers or seals the top opening 131a, specifically the bucket cover 172 covers or seals the top opening 131a.
[0051] For example, the bucket cover 172 can be locked and fixed to the top 131 of the oil-gas bucket 130 by bolts, screws or other locking parts, so as to cover or seal the internal space of the oil-gas bucket 130, which not only prevents oil-gas leakage, foreign matter intrusion or water vapor intrusion, but also improves the convenience of cleaning, replacement or maintenance.
[0052] As shown in FIG. 1E , FIG. 2C and FIG. 2E , the oil-gas separation cylinder 171 is inserted into the oil-gas bucket 130 from the top opening 131a and extends to the bottom 132 of the oil-gas bucket 130. The oil-gas separation cylinder 171 is located in the upper half of the internal space of the oil-gas bucket 130, and an annular flow channel 10 is formed between the inner wall surface 133 of the oil-gas bucket 130 and the outer wall surface 1711 of the oil-gas separation cylinder 171 in the upper half of the internal space of the oil-gas bucket 130, and the oil-gas flow channel 152a is connected to the annular flow channel 10. In detail, the oil-gas separation cylinder 171 can be a hollow cylinder and has an oil-gas separation space 171a surrounded by the annular flow channel 10. The connection position 11 of the oil-gas flow channel 152a and the annular flow channel 10 is close to the top opening 131a, and the oil-gas separation space 171a has a bottom opening 1712 facing the bottom 132. That is, the oil-gas separation space 171a is connected to the internal space of the oil-gas bucket 130 and is also connected to the annular flow channel 10.
[0053] The oil fine separator 180 is disposed on the lid 172 and outside the lid 172. In addition, the lid 172 has an oil gas passage 1721, which is in communication with the oil gas separation space 171a. Therefore, the oil fine separator 180 can be in communication with the oil gas separation space 171a through the oil gas passage 1721, and in communication with the inner space of the oil gas cartridge 130 and the annular flow passage 10 through the oil gas separation space 171a.
[0054] As shown in FIG. 1, the oil gas cartridge 130 is disposed in the bearing mounting space 152b of the annular flow passage 10. The oil gas cartridge 130 has an oil gas separation space 171a, which is in communication with the oil gas passage 1721 of the lid 172. In addition, the oil gas cartridge 130 has an oil gas outlet 1722, which is in communication with the oil gas separation space 171a and the oil gas passage 1721. FIG. 1D 、 FIG. 1E 、 FIG. 2C and FIG. 2D As shown in FIG. 1, the oil gas cartridge 130 is disposed in the bearing mounting space 152b of the annular flow passage 10. The oil gas cartridge 130 has an oil gas separation space 171a, which is in communication with the oil gas passage 1721 of the lid 172. In addition, the oil gas cartridge 130 has an oil gas outlet 1722, which is in communication with the oil gas separation space 171a and the oil gas passage 1721.
[0055] In the present embodiment, the oil gas flow passage 152a has a first port 1521, which is in communication with the compression chamber 111, and a second port 1522, which is in communication with the oil gas cartridge 130. In the gravitational direction GD, the second port 1522 is higher than the first port 1521 by a height difference H. Therefore, in the process of the mixed fluid flowing from the first port 1521 to the second port 1522, the lubricating oil separated from the compressed gas can be affected by gravity and drop to the bottom of the oil gas flow passage 152a.
[0056] Specifically, in order to make the overall configuration of the compressor structure 100 more in line with the actual application requirements, when the top 131 of the oil-gas tank 130 is higher than the height of the first port 1521 of the compression chamber 111, the second port 1522 of the oil flow channel 152a is higher than the first port 1521 (that is, there is a height difference H between the second port 1522 and the first port 1521 in the direction of gravity GD), so that the mixed fluid formed by the lubricating oil and the compressed gas can enter the oil-gas tank 130 from bottom to top along the oil flow channel 152a after being discharged from the compression chamber 111. Furthermore, when the top 131 of the oil-gas tank 130 is not higher than the height of the first port 1521 of the compression chamber 111, the second port 1522 of the oil-gas passage 152a is at the same height as the first port 1521 (i.e., there is no height difference between the second port 1522 and the first port 1521 in the direction of gravity GD) or the second port 1522 of the oil-gas passage 152a is lower than the first port 1521, so that the mixed fluid formed by the lubricating oil and the compressed gas is discharged from the compression chamber 111 and smoothly enters the oil-gas tank 130 along the oil-gas passage 152a.
[0057] Next, as FIG. 1E , FIG. 2C and FIG. 2E As shown, the mixed fluid flows into the annular channel 10 from the second port 1522, and flows along a spiral path from the top 131 to the bottom 132 of the oil-gas tank 130 within the annular channel 10. This cyclone separation process separates most of the lubricating oil from the compressed gas, constituting the second oil-gas separation. Simultaneously, the lubricating oil drips to the bottom 132 of the oil-gas tank 130 under gravity. Since the oil-gas tank 130 is connected to the oil tank 120, the lubricating oil can be further recycled back to the oil tank 120.
[0058] like FIG. 1E and FIG. 2E As shown, after most of the lubricating oil is separated from the compressed gas, the compressed gas flows into the oil-gas separation space 171a from the bottom opening 1712, and then flows to the oil-gas separator 180 from the oil-gas inlet 1721. In detail, the oil-gas separator 180 can filter out the tiny oil droplets remaining in the compressed gas to prevent them from entering the system with the compressed gas; this is the third oil-gas separation.
[0059] like FIG. 1E As shown, the oil-gas separator 171 is located approximately in the upper half of the internal space of the oil-gas tank 130, and the lower half of the internal space of the oil-gas tank 130 is connected to the oil trough 120. This design helps to increase the oil storage capacity of the compressor structure 100. In addition, since the oil trough 120 is not directly connected to the oil flow channel 152a, the mixed fluid from the oil flow channel 152a does not directly enter the oil trough 120, but first undergoes oil-gas separation in the oil-gas tank 130 to improve the oil-gas separation effect.
[0060] likeFIG. 1D , FIG. 1E , FIG. 2C and FIG. 2E As shown, the bearing housing 152 and the oil-gas separator 130 are two connected castings, wherein the oil flow channel 152a is located in the bearing housing 152, and the connecting position 11 is located in the oil-gas separator 130. Furthermore, the oil flow channel 152a and the connecting position 11 can form an inner channel of the two castings, wherein one end of the inner channel (i.e., the first port 1521 of the oil flow channel 152a) is connected to the exhaust port of the compression chamber 111, and the other end of the inner channel (i.e., the connecting position 11) is connected to the oil-gas separator 130 in the tangential direction of the outer wall surface 1711 of the oil-gas separator 171.
[0061] like FIG. 1A , FIG. 1B , FIG. 1C and FIG. 1E As shown, in this embodiment, the oil trough 120 is disposed below the compressor housing 110, and the oil-gas separator 130 is disposed on the side of the oil trough 120. Based on this configuration, the extension path of the oil flow channel 152a connected to the oil-gas separator 130 is an arc-shaped path surrounding the bearing mounting space 152b, and the bearing mounting space 152b and this arc-shaped path can fall on the same plane in the space.
[0062] like FIG. 1B , FIG. 1E , FIG. 1F and FIG. 2C As shown, in this embodiment, the compressor structure 100 further includes a first external oil passage 190, a second external oil passage 191, a third external oil passage 192, and at least one fourth external oil passage 193. Specifically, the bottom 132 of the oil-gas separator 130 has a connecting port 134, wherein one end of the first external oil passage 190 is connected to the connecting port 134, and the other end of the first external oil passage 190 is connected to the external cooler 20. That is, the oil-gas separator 130 is connected to the external cooler 20 through the first external oil passage 190.
[0063] On the other hand, the motor 140 includes a motor housing 141, wherein the motor housing 141 has a cooling channel 141a, and the cooling channel 141a has a first channel opening 141b and a second channel opening 141c. Specifically, one end of the second external oil passage 191 is connected to the external cooler 20, and the other end of the second external oil passage 191 is connected to the first channel opening 141b. That is, the external cooler 20 is connected to the motor 140 through the second external oil passage 191, specifically to the cooling channel 141a of the motor housing 141.
[0064] In the present embodiment, the oil filter seat 151 has a communication port 151b, wherein one end of the third external oil passage 192 is connected to the second flow passage port 141c, and the other end of the third external oil passage 192 is connected to the communication port 151b. That is, the motor 140 is communicated to the oil filter 160 through the third external oil passage 192, specifically, the cooling flow passage 141a of the motor housing 141 is communicated to the oil filter 160 through the third external oil passage 192 and the oil filter seat 151.
[0065] Specifically, the first flow passage port 141b connected to the external cooler 20 can be the input port of the cooling flow passage 141a, and the second flow passage port 141c connected to the oil filter seat 151 can be the output port of the cooling flow passage 141a. In other examples, the external cooler 20 can be connected to the second flow passage port 141c, and the oil filter seat 151 can be connected to the first flow passage port 141b, so as to take the second flow passage port 141c as the input port and the first flow passage port 141b as the output port of the cooling flow passage 141a. That is, the input port and the output port of the cooling flow passage 141a can be arranged according to actual application requirements, without affecting the cooling effect of the motor 140.
[0066] As shown in FIG. 1B As shown in FIG. 1F In the present embodiment, the bearing mounting space 152b of the first mounting seat 150 is covered or closed by the bearing seat cover 153, and the bearing seat cover 153 has two communication ports 153a, 153b. On the other hand, the two oil separators 180 are arranged on the second mounting seat 170, and are communicated to the first mounting seat 150, specifically, to the bearing mounting space 152b, through the two fourth external oil passages 193, 193a.
[0067] Further, the oil separator 180 relatively close to the first mounting seat 150 has a communication port 181a, and the other oil separator 180 relatively far from the first mounting seat 150 has a communication port 181b. One end of the fourth external oil passage 193 is connected to the communication port 181a, and the other end of the fourth external oil passage 193 is connected to the communication port 153a relatively close to the two oil separators 180. In addition, one end of the fourth external oil passage 193a is connected to the communication port 181b, and the other end of the fourth external oil passage 193a is connected to the communication port 153b relatively far from the two oil separators 180.
[0068] As shown in FIG. 1B , FIG. 1E , FIG. 1F and FIG. 2CThe lubricating oil stored in the oil-gas barrel 130 can be delivered to the external cooler 20 through the first external oil passage 190 to perform the action of cooling. Then, the cooled lubricating oil can be delivered to the cooling flow passage 141a of the motor housing 141 through the second external oil passage 191 to cool the motor 140 to avoid the motor 140 from malfunctioning or being damaged due to high operating temperature.
[0069] Then, the lubricating oil in the cooling flow passage 141a can be delivered to the oil filter 160 through the third external oil passage 192 and the oil filter seat 151, and the solid impurities in the lubricating oil can be filtered out by the oil filter 160. Then, as shown in FIG. 2B to FIG. 2D the lubricating oil is delivered from the oil filter 160 to the first internal oil passage 151a, and then delivered from the first internal oil passage 151a to the second internal oil passage 112. Then, the lubricating oil is injected or sprayed into the compression chamber 111 through the first oil injection hole 113 and the second oil injection hole 114 from the second internal oil passage 112 to perform the action of lubricating and cooling the first rotor 101 and the second rotor 102.
[0070] Then, as shown in FIG. 1D , FIG. 1E , FIG. 2C and FIG. 2E the mixed fluid formed by the lubricating oil and the compressed gas is discharged from the compression chamber 111 and sequentially flows through the oil-gas flow passage 152a and the annular flow passage 10 to sequentially perform the first oil-gas separation and the second oil-gas separation. Then, the compressed gas flows into the oil-gas separation space 171a from the bottom opening 1712 and then flows to the two oil fine separators 180 from the oil-gas passage 1721 to perform the third oil-gas separation.
[0071] As shown in FIG. 1B , FIG. 1F and FIG. 2E after the two oil fine separators 180 filter out the tiny oil droplets remaining in the compressed gas, the oil droplets can be delivered to the bearing mounting space 152b through the two fourth external oil passages 193, 193a to perform the action of lubricating the first bearing 103 and the second bearing 104. As shown in FIG. 1A , FIG. 1F and FIG. 2E the oil fine separators 180 have communication openings 182 connected to the external gas passage 194 to be connected to the system through the external gas passage 194. After the two oil fine separators 180 filter out the tiny oil droplets remaining in the compressed gas, the compressed gas with low oil content can be delivered to the system through the external gas passage 194.
[0072] Through the flow passage design in the compressor structure 100, the lubricating oil can be fully utilized and recovered, and most of the lubricating oil can be separated from the compressed gas to avoid high-oil-content compressed gas from entering the system, while reducing the consumption of lubricating oil.
[0073] In this embodiment, after the two oil micro-separators 180 filter out the tiny oil droplets remaining in the compressed gas, the oil droplets can pass through the communication port 181a into the fourth external oil passage 193, and the oil droplets can pass through the communication port 181b into the fourth external oil passage 193a. Then, the oil droplets can be transported through the fourth external oil passage 193 to the communication port 153a to be transported to the bearing mounting space 152b through the communication port 153a, and the oil droplets can be transported through the fourth external oil passage 193a to the communication port 153b to be transported to the bearing mounting space 152b through the communication port 153b. Therefore, the oil droplets filtered by the two oil micro-separators 180 can be transported to the bearing mounting space 152b through two transport paths.
[0074] In other examples, the two oil micro-separators 180 can share a single communication port, and the bearing cover 153 has a single communication port. On the other hand, the communication port shared by the two oil micro-separators 180 is connected to the communication port of the bearing cover 153 through a single fourth external oil passage to communicate with the bearing mounting space 152b. Therefore, the oil droplets filtered by the two oil micro-separators 180 can be transported to the bearing mounting space 152b through a single transport path.
[0075] In other examples, the two communication ports of the two oil micro-separators 180 are respectively connected to two fourth external oil passages, and the two fourth external oil passages are connected to one communication port of the bearing cover 153 through a common valve or a common communication pipe. In actual applications, the communication ports of the oil micro-separators 180 and the bearing cover 153 and one or more fourth external oil passages matched therewith will be configured according to the design requirements of different compressor models.
[0076] Please refer to FIG. 1E and FIG. 2C to FIG. 2E In this embodiment, the oil-gas bucket 130 further includes an oil level gauge 135, wherein the oil level gauge 135 is disposed between the top portion 131 and the bottom portion 132 and close to the lower half of the oil-gas bucket 130 to facilitate observation of the liquid level of the lubricating oil stored in the oil-gas bucket 130, thereby determining the inventory of the lubricating oil. On the other hand, the oil-gas bucket 130 is internally provided with two flow straightening plates 136 extending from the bottom portion 132 to the top portion 131, and the two flow straightening plates 136 are located between the oil level gauge 135 and the oil sump 120.
[0077] When the mixed fluid is subjected to cyclonic separation in the annular flow passage 10 or the lubricating oil is dripping to the bottom portion 132, the liquid level of the lubricating oil stored in the oil-gas bucket 130 will be disturbed, causing fluctuations in the liquid level. Since the two flow straightening plates 136 can block or weaken the fluctuations transmitted to the oil level gauge 135, the liquid level of the lubricating oil close to the oil level gauge 135 is prevented from generating excessive fluctuations, thereby reducing the risk of misjudgment of the inventory of the lubricating oil.
[0078] FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the oil groove and the external cooler of the compressor structure of another embodiment of the present application. In the compressor structure 100 of the previous embodiment, the oil-gas bucket 130 is communicated with the external cooler 20 through the first external oil passage 190, please refer to FIG. 3 In the compressor structure 100A of the present embodiment, the first external oil passage 190 can be connected between the oil groove 120 and the external cooler 20. That is, the oil groove 120 is communicated with the external cooler 20 through the first external oil passage 190, so as to transport the lubricating oil stored in the oil groove 120 to the external cooler 20 through the first external oil passage 190, and perform the action of cooling.
[0079] FIG. 4 is a schematic view of the compressor structure of another embodiment of the present application. Please refer to FIG. 4 Unlike the compressor structure 100 shown in FIG. 1A to FIG. 1C , in the compressor structure 100B of the present embodiment, the motor 140 and the first mounting seat 150 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the compressor housing 110, and the bearing seat 152 is arranged between the oil-gas bucket 130 and the compressor housing 110. That is, the oil-gas bucket 130 is arranged opposite to the motor 140 through the bearing seat 152. Based on this configuration, the oil-gas flow channel 152a1 extends from the bearing seat 152 to the oil-gas bucket 130, so as to be communicated with the oil-gas bucket 130, and falls in different planes in space with the bearing seat 152 and the bearing mounting space inside it.
[0080] In summary, in the compressor structure of the present application, the mixed fluid formed by the lubricating oil and the compressed gas is first subjected to the first oil-gas separation in the oil-gas flow channel by the centrifugal force after being discharged from the compression chamber, then the mixed fluid enters the oil-gas bucket from the oil-gas flow channel and is subjected to the second oil-gas separation in the oil-gas bucket by the cyclone separation action, so as to separate most of the lubricating oil from the compressed gas. Then, the compressed gas flows into the oil-gas separation space from the bottom opening, and then flows to the oil fine separator from the oil-gas passage for the third oil-gas separation. That is, unlike the conventional compressor structure which directly sends the mixed fluid from the compression chamber to the oil groove for oil-gas separation, the compressor structure of the present application adopts a three-step oil-gas separation procedure to greatly reduce the oil content of the compressed gas. Therefore, the compressor structure of the present application not only avoids the entry of compressed gas with high oil content into the system, but also reduces the consumption of lubricating oil.
[0081] Further, in the compressor structure of the present application, the oil filter and the oil separator are designed in an external type, which helps to improve the compactness of the structure configuration to reduce the volume. On the other hand, the compressor housing, the oil groove and the oil gas bucket are integrally cast into a structure, which can not only significantly improve the structural strength, reduce the assembly process, improve the manufacturing efficiency and reduce the manufacturing cost, but also improve the sealing performance to effectively reduce the oil gas leakage phenomenon. The advantage of the integrally cast structure is that the relative position of the compressor housing, the oil groove and the oil gas bucket can be changed according to the actual application requirements, and the connected oil groove and oil gas bucket help to improve the oil storage capacity. In addition, the lubricating oil cooled by cooling can first cool the motor, and then be injected or sprayed into the compression chamber to lubricate and cool the first rotor and the second rotor, which greatly improves the integration of the oil circuit and the utilization rate of the lubricating oil.
