[0038] To solve the problems in the prior art, the utility model provides a baffle for a compressor, the compressor comprising a pump body and a silencer, the pump body comprising an upper cylinder cover, the silencer being arranged on the side of the upper cylinder cover close to a motor, the baffle comprising: at least one shielding part, which is in contact with at least part of the outer wall of the silencer and extends outward in a direction away from the silencer, the plane in which the shielding part is located and the plane in which the silencer is located having an included angle θ, and the side of the shielding part away from the silencer and the upper cylinder cover having a spacing; and a flow-through hole arranged between two adjacent shielding parts. In the technical solution, the baffle is arranged outside the silencer, the amount of lubricating oil entering the upper space of the motor is reduced, the amount of lubricating oil discharged out of the compressor along with the refrigerant is reduced, the amount of lubricating oil returning to the oil pool at the bottom of the compressor is increased, the stability of the oil pool surface at the bottom of the compressor is improved, and the reliability of the compressor in operation is improved.

[0039] The baffle provided by the utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments shown are not intended to limit the protection scope of the utility model.

[0040] Figures 1 to 3 Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of the baffle provided by an embodiment of the utility model at different angles; Figure 4 And Figure 5 Fig. 2 shows a schematic view of a compressor provided with the baffle provided by an embodiment of the utility model. In combination with Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, Figures 1 to 5 It can be seen that the baffle 10 provided by the embodiment of the utility model comprises a shielding part 11 and a flow-through hole 12. The baffle 10 is used in a compressor 100, and the compressor 100 comprises a pump body 110 and a silencer 120 arranged on the upper end of the pump body 110. The shielding part 11 is in contact with at least part of the outer wall of the silencer 120 and extends outward in a direction away from the silencer 120; and the flow-through hole 12 is arranged between two adjacent shielding parts 11.

[0041] By setting a baffle 10 on the outer wall of the muffler 120, the shielding part 11 can block the lubricating oil from flowing upward under the action of the flow field, thereby reducing the amount of lubricating oil entering the upper space of the motor, reducing the amount of oil discharged with the refrigerant from the compressor 100, increasing the amount of lubricating oil falling back to the oil sump at the bottom of the compressor 100, improving the stability of the oil sump surface at the bottom of the compressor 100, and thus improving the reliability of the compressor operation.

[0042] The flow hole 12 can accelerate the return of lubricating oil from the motor channel to the bottom oil sump of the compressor. On the other hand, it can connect the lower space of the motor with the upper space, preventing excessive pressure in the lower space of the motor and making the return of lubricating oil from the upper space of the motor to the bottom oil sump more smoothly.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the baffle 10 also includes a mounting portion 13, located on the side of the shielding portion 11 near the muffler 120. The mounting portion 13 secures the shielding portion 11 to the outer wall of the muffler chamber of the muffler 120. The mounting portion 13 facilitates the securing of the shielding portion 11 to the outer wall of the muffler chamber of the muffler 120. Furthermore, the mounting portion 13 can be connected to the muffler 120 by welding or gluing, etc.

[0044] Further, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The pump body 110 includes an upper cylinder head 111, and a muffler 120 is located on the side of the upper cylinder head 111 near the motor. The plane containing the shield 11 and the plane containing the muffler 120 form an angle θ, meaning the shield 11 is an inclined surface. By setting the shield 11 as an inclined surface, the lubricating oil flowing back to the upper surface of the baffle 10 can be directly and quickly returned to the oil sump, improving the oil return efficiency.

[0045] Furthermore, there is a gap between the side of the shield 11 away from the muffler 120 and the upper cylinder head 111, so that the lubricating oil flowing downward along the housing of the compressor 100 can flow back to the oil sump from below the shield 11 through this gap, in order to prevent the upward airflow discharged from the muffler 120 above the shield 11 from carrying away the lubricating oil flowing downward along the housing of the compressor 100 away from the compressor 100 again.

[0046] Furthermore, the angle θ between the plane where the shielding part 11 is located and the plane where the muffler 120 is located satisfies: 5°≤θ≤15°. By limiting the tilt angle of the shielding part 11, a better oil return effect is achieved.

[0047] Further, the upper cylinder cover 111 is provided with a plurality of through holes (not shown in the figure) penetrating along the axial direction thereof, and the flow-through holes 12 are arranged alternately with the through holes. The through holes on the upper cylinder cover 111 are used for reducing weight and improving oil return efficiency, and the alternate arrangement of the flow-through holes 12 and the through holes can avoid the lubricating oil flowing upward through the through holes of the upper cylinder cover 111, and at the same time, avoid the oil return of the motor channel directly impacting the oil pool, so that the liquid level of the oil pool is less fluctuated.

[0048] Further, the baffle 10 is integrally formed in the embodiment, so that the manufacturing steps of the baffle 10 can be simplified. Further, the muffler 120 and the baffle 10 can also be integrally formed, so that the installation steps of the muffler 120 and the baffle 10 can be simplified.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 1, Figures 6 to 8 In another embodiment, the baffle 10 includes a plurality of separated shielding parts 11, and each shielding part 11 is provided with at least one mounting part 13, that is, the baffle 10 is in a split type. The split type baffle 10 can save material and reduce the cost of the baffle 10. As shown in FIG. 2, Figures 6 to 8 The baffle 10 includes three separated shielding parts 11, each shielding part 11 is provided with one mounting part 13, each shielding part 11 is attached to part of the outer wall of the cavity part of the muffler 120, and the flow-through holes 12 are arranged between the adjacent two shielding parts 11.

[0050] Further, the side of the shielding part 11 away from the muffler 120 is located on the circumference of an outer circle, the diameter of the outer circle is D1, the outer diameter of the upper cylinder cover 111 of the compressor is D2, the upper cylinder cover 111 is connected to the inner wall of the compressor shell, and D1 < D2. This arrangement can make the lubricating oil flowing along the inner wall of the shell quickly return to the oil pool, thereby improving the oil return efficiency. Preferably, in some embodiments, D1 and D2 satisfy: 4mm < D2-D1 < 10mm.

[0051] The side of the shielding part 11 close to the muffler 120 is located on the circumference of an inner circle, the diameter of the inner circle is d1, the diameter of the outer wall of the muffler 120 is d2, and d1 > d2. This arrangement can make the lubricating oil flowing to the upper surface of the muffler 120 quickly return to the oil pool, thereby improving the oil return efficiency. Preferably, in some embodiments, d1 and d2 satisfy: 2mm < d1-d2 < 6mm.

[0052] Further, the utility model discloses an embodiment also provides a kind of compressor, including the baffle 10 as described above, the compressor can obtain all technical effects of above-mentioned baffle 10, this place is not repeated here.For further confirming the beneficial effects of the compressor provided by the utility model, the oil-gas distribution in the exhaust cavity of the compressor before and after setting baffle 10 is detected using simulation experiment. Figure 9 And Figure 10 Respectively show the oil-gas distribution nephogram of the compressor at the same time when running before and after setting baffle. Figure 9And Figure 10 It can be seen that, at the same time, the compressor without the baffle 10 has an oil mass at the lower part of the motor (the position shown by the dashed black box), while the compressor with the baffle 10 has no oil mass at the lower part of the motor (the position shown by the dashed black box). Therefore, it is shown that, after the baffle 10 is added, the flow field of the compressor during operation weakens the flow guiding effect of the lubricating oil, the amount of lubricating oil distributed to the motor channel is reduced, and the stability of the oil surface of the oil pool at the bottom of the compressor is improved.

[0053] Further, the average flow of lubricating oil of the compressor without the baffle 10 and the compressor with the baffle 10 in one operating cycle is calculated through simulation experiments. Table 1 shows the comparison results of the average flow of lubricating oil of the compressor without the baffle 10 and the compressor with the baffle 10 in one operating cycle.

[0054] Table 1 Average flow of lubricating oil of the compressor without the baffle 10 and the compressor with the baffle 10 in one operating cycle.

[0055]

[0056] According to the above table, after the baffle 10 is used, the oiling amount on the rotor through hole and the stator cutting edge is reduced, and the oil return amount of the gap between the stator and the rotor and the winding gap is increased, so that the oil surface height of the compressor lubricating oil is improved.

[0057] In summary, the baffle provided by the utility model and the compressor comprising the same have the following advantages:

[0058] By arranging the baffle on the outer wall of the muffler, the shielding part can block the lubricating oil from being guided upward under the action of the flow field, thereby reducing the amount of lubricating oil entering the upper space of the motor, reducing the oil discharge amount with the refrigerant out of the compressor, increasing the amount of lubricating oil falling back to the oil pool at the bottom of the compressor, improving the stability of the oil surface of the oil pool at the bottom of the compressor, and further improving the reliability of the compressor.

[0059] The above content is a further detailed description of the utility model in combination with specific preferred embodiments, and the specific implementation of the utility model cannot be limited to these descriptions. For ordinary skilled persons in the technical field to which the utility model belongs, without departing from the concept of the utility model, a number of simple deductions or substitutions can be made, and all of them should be regarded as falling within the protection scope of the utility model.
