[0055] In order to make the purpose and technical scheme of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings of the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0056] It should be understood that although the terms "first", "second" and the like can be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the utility model, the first element can be called the second element, and similarly, the second element can be called the first element.

[0057] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in this embodiment are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this utility model. Although the illustrations only show the components related to this utility model and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed in actual implementation, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0058] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a scroll compressor in the prior art, such as... Figure 1 As shown, in the prior art, when the scroll compressor 1 is operating, the uncompressed, low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant enters the housing 13, forming a low-pressure zone L in the working chamber outside the compression assembly 14. When the refrigerant enters the compression assembly 14 for compression, the refrigerant pressure begins to rise, but has not yet reached the final discharge pressure; this area forms a medium-pressure zone M. The compressed, high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant is discharged between the muffler cover 12 and the top cover 15, forming a high-pressure zone H. The high-pressure zone H and the low-pressure zone L are separated by the muffler cover 12, and the medium-pressure zone M is separated from the other two zones by a sealing assembly 11. Figure 1 It is known that the sealing ring 111 has an L-shaped cross section. Under normal conditions, the outer side of the sealing ring 111 contacts the inner wall of the stationary vortex 141 to achieve sealing. Under abnormal conditions, if the pressure in the medium-pressure zone M is less than that in the low-pressure zone L, the sealing ring 111 is easily deformed by downward and inward forces, which in turn causes a gap to be generated at the contact point between the sealing ring 111 and the inner wall of the stationary vortex 141, which has a negative impact on the sealing performance.

[0067] In combination with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the drawings, a plurality of drainage grooves 2161 are uniformly arranged on the outer edge of the partition plate 216. The drainage grooves 2161 can provide a specific flow path for the refrigerant under abnormal working conditions, so as to reduce the pressure difference on both sides of the sealing assembly 21, realize the balance of pressure, and then reduce the force borne by the third sealing ring 215 and reduce the risk of damage to the third sealing ring 215.

[0068] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a scroll compressor with an anti-deformation sealing component according to the present invention, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, the scroll compressor 2 further includes a housing 22, a silencing assembly 23, a compression assembly 24, a bearing housing 25, and a drive assembly 26. The silencing assembly 23, the sealing assembly 21, the compression assembly 24, the bearing housing 25, and the drive assembly 26 are sequentially and axially mounted inside the housing 22. The silencing assembly 23 is fixedly connected to the housing 22. The sealing assembly 21 is axially connected to the compression assembly 24 and the silencing assembly 23. The bearing housing 25 is mounted at the bottom end of the compression assembly 24. One end of the drive assembly 26 passes through the bearing housing 25 and is connected to the compression assembly 24. The compression assembly 24 includes a stationary scroll plate 241 and a moving scroll plate 242, which mesh with each other.

[0069] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 It is known that, under normal operating conditions, there are gaps between the second flange 2125 and the inner wall of the second protrusion 2412 of the stationary scroll plate 241, and between the third flange 2126 and the third sealing ring 215. Furthermore, because the pressure in the area formed by the sealing assembly 21 and the compression assembly 24 is higher than the pressure in the area formed by the outer shell 22 and the sealing assembly 21, under the influence of the pressure difference, the upper end face of one end of the third sealing ring 215 abuts against the top wall of the second mounting groove 2127, and the outer wall of one end of the leg 2151 of the third sealing ring 215 abuts against the inner wall of the second protrusion 2412 of the stationary scroll plate 241, thus ensuring that the connection maintains a sealed state.

[0070] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 8It can be known that if an abnormal condition occurs, that is, the pressure of the region formed by the sealing assembly 21 and the compression assembly 24 is lower than the pressure of the region formed by the shell 22 and the sealing assembly 21, the third sealing ring 215 bears a load opposite to that in a normal working condition, at this time, the bottom end of one end of the third sealing ring 215 abuts against the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 2127, and the bottom end of the leg portion 2151 of the third sealing ring 215 can abut against the partition plate 216. The partition plate 216 provides an upward force for the third sealing ring 215, can offset a part of the downward force, prevents single force bearing, and thus slows down the deformation of the third sealing ring. Even if the third sealing ring 215 is deformed when bearing a larger force, a channel will be generated between the outer side wall of the third sealing ring 215 and the inner side wall of the static scroll 241, and a plurality of flow relief grooves 2161 are formed on the partition plate 216, which are communicated to form a path for the refrigerant to pass through, so as to communicate the regions on both sides of the sealing assembly 21, and achieve the effect of timely flow relief. Timely flow relief can not only prevent the third sealing ring 215 from being crushed, but also further avoid negative effects such as scroll wear and motor overload.

[0071] Embodiment two

[0072] In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 9 The partition plate 216 can further include an elastic sheet 2162, which is arranged at one end of the flow relief groove 2161 close to the center of the partition plate 216, and the elastic sheet 2162 is arranged at an angle with the partition plate 216. Preferably, the angle is an acute angle. Figure 10 and Figure 11 It can be known that the elastic sheet 2162 abuts against the bottom of the second sealing element 212, the elastic sheet 2162 directly contacts the second sealing element 212 to provide an upward force, and assists the sealing assembly 21 to abut against the sound insulation cover 231, and effectively improves the sealing performance.

[0073] In summary, the sealing assembly and the scroll compressor provided by the utility model can provide an upward supporting force for the third sealing ring 215 when the working condition is abnormal, so as to prevent deformation; a plurality of flow relief grooves 2161 are uniformly formed on the outer edge of the partition plate 216, a flow relief path is provided between the third sealing ring 215 and the partition plate, and the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the sealing ring is prevented from being too large when the working condition is abnormal. In addition, the elastic sheet 2162 can be further arranged on the partition plate 216 to assist the sealing assembly 21 to abut against the sound insulation cover 231, so as to improve the sealing performance.

[0074] Although the utility model has disclosed as above with examples, it is not used to limit the utility model, anyone with ordinary knowledge in the art can make some changes and decorations without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, so the protection scope of the utility model is defined by the appended patent application scope.
