AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

After a fixed-frequency compressor stops working, the pressure difference between the high-pressure side and the low-pressure side inside the compressor cylinder is large, making it difficult for the rotor to rotate. The coil temperature rises rapidly, posing a risk of burnout and making it difficult to restart immediately.

Method used

Pressure relief holes and seals are installed on the cylinder body. The seals are driven by telescopic components to open or block the pressure relief holes when the temperature changes, thereby achieving pressure balance and ensuring normal rotor rotation.

Benefits of technology

After the compressor stops working, it quickly releases pressure to reduce the high-pressure side pressure of the cylinder, ensuring that the rotor can rotate normally. This solves the problem of the compressor being difficult to restart immediately and reduces the risk of burnout.

Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0027] The technical schemes in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0028] The pressure relief structure, compressor and refrigerator provided in the embodiments of the present application are provided to solve the problem that it is difficult to immediately restart the compressor after the compressor stops working. The following will be described in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiments of the present application provide a pressure relief structure, which comprises a cylinder 1, a sealing member 2 and a telescopic member 3. The cylinder 1 is provided with a compression cavity. The cylinder 1 is provided with a pressure relief hole 11, which is in communication with the compression cavity. The sealing member 2 covers the pressure relief hole 11 and is used to block the pressure relief hole 11. The telescopic member 3 connects the cylinder 1 and the sealing member 2. The sealing member 2 is used to drive the sealing member 2 to move to make the pressure relief hole 11 communicate with the outside when the cylinder 1 is raised to a predetermined temperature, and to drive the sealing member 2 to block the pressure relief hole 11 when the cylinder 1 is lowered to the predetermined temperature.

[0030] When the compressor needs to be started again immediately after stopping, the temperature in the compressor rises rapidly, the telescopic part 3 drives the sealing part 2 to move to make the pressure relief hole 11 communicate with the outside, so that the pressure on the high-pressure side of the cylinder 1 rapidly decreases, and then the rotor in the compressor can rotate normally; after the rotor rotates normally, the temperature in the compressor gradually decreases, the telescopic part 3 drives the sealing part 2 to block the pressure relief hole 11, so that the compressor can normally compress; in this process, the high-pressure side inside the cylinder 1 of the compressor is immediately relieved, so that the rotor in the compressor can quickly recover rotation, and the problem that the compressor is difficult to start again immediately after stopping is solved.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the sealing part 2 includes a sealing cover 21 and a sealing ring 22, the sealing cover 21 is disc-shaped, and the sealing ring 22 is ring-shaped, the sealing ring 22 is integrally formed on the side of the sealing part 2 close to the cylinder 1, and at least one pressure relief hole 221 for discharging pressure is formed in the sealing ring 22; when the pressure relief hole 221 communicates with the pressure relief hole 11, the compression chamber can communicate with the outside through the pressure relief hole 221 and the pressure relief hole 11 to realize pressure relief on the high-pressure side in the compression chamber. The cylinder 1 is provided with a sealing groove 12 matched with the sealing ring 22, when the sealing part 2 blocks the pressure relief hole 11, the sealing ring 22 is placed in the sealing groove 12, and the groove wall of the sealing groove 12 blocks the pressure relief hole 221, so as to improve the sealing performance of the compression chamber during normal operation of the compressor.

[0032] In the embodiment, the pressure relief hole 221 is a circular hole, and the diameter of the pressure relief hole 221 remains unchanged along the direction in which the pressure relief hole 221 is formed. In some embodiments of the present application, the diameter of the pressure relief hole 221 gradually increases along the radial direction of the sealing ring 22, so that the pressure relief hole 221 is horn-shaped, and the flow rate of the high-pressure gas suddenly decreases after passing through the pressure relief hole 221, thereby reducing the influence of the discharged high-pressure gas on other equipment.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the telescopic part 3 includes a thermal expansion part 31 and a spring 32, the thermal expansion part 31 is made of a material that expands when heated, and in the embodiment, the thermal expansion part 31 is ring-shaped, and the diameter of the thermal expansion part 31 is the same as that of the sealing ring 22. The thermal expansion part 31 is accommodated in the sealing groove 12, one side of the thermal expansion part 31 abuts against the groove bottom of the sealing groove 12, and the other side abuts against the sealing ring 22. After the thermal expansion part 31 is heated, the thermal expansion part 31 pushes the sealing ring 22 to move away from the cylinder 1, so that the pressure relief hole 221 is exposed from the sealing groove 12, thereby realizing the communication between the compression chamber and the outside.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, the thermal expansion piece 31 is provided in a block shape, the sealing piece 2 or the cylinder body 1 is provided with a containing groove 13, the thermal expansion piece 31 is contained in the containing groove 13, and the thermal expansion piece 31 connects the cylinder body 1 and the sealing piece 2. The thermal expansion piece 31 directly pushes the sealing cover 21 to move after being heated, so that the pressure relief hole 221 is exposed from the sealing groove 12, thereby realizing the communication between the compression cavity and the outside.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cylinder body 1 is provided with a containing groove 13, the pressure relief hole 11 is communicated with the containing groove 13, one end of the spring 32 is fixedly connected with the sealing cover 21, and the other end is fixedly connected with the groove bottom of the containing groove 13. The spring 32 is beneficial to provide the force required by the sealing cover 21 to seal the pressure relief hole 11, thereby being beneficial to maintaining the sealing property of the cylinder body 1 in the normal working state.

[0036] The present application also provides a compressor comprising the pressure relief structure as described above. Since the compressor has the pressure relief structure as described above, it has at least part or all of the beneficial effects of the pressure relief structure, which will not be repeated here.
