[0017] The utility model will be further explained in detail below by combining with the drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model, and not limited to the utility model. In addition, it needs to be explained that in order to facilitate the description, only the part related to the utility model is shown in the drawing, not all the structures.
[0018] In the description of the utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", "fixed" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or it can be integrated; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through the intermediate medium; it can be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship of two elements.

[0020] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0021] In the current technology, the air inlet in the compressor housing is cylindrical in shape, and the air inlet is tightly fitted with the connector. The inner wall of the air inlet is entirely solid with high thermal conductivity, which results in high efficiency in transferring heat from the compressor body to the connector. This causes the refrigerant to absorb more heat in a short period of time, causing the refrigerant to expand. Consequently, the flow rate of refrigerant entering the compressor through the air inlet per unit time decreases, reducing the compressor's working efficiency.
[0022] To solve the above problems, such as Figs. 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a compressor intake structure, including a compressor housing 1 and a connector 2. An intake hole 11 is formed on the compressor housing 1, and a connector 2 is installed in the intake hole 11. The connector 2 is interference-fitted with the intake hole 11. A groove 12 is provided on the inner wall of the intake hole 11, and a heat insulation cavity is formed between the groove 12 and the connector 2.
[0023] A groove 12 can be formed on the inner wall of the air inlet 11 to reduce the direct contact area between the compressor cylinder and the connector 2. The groove 12 and the connector 2 form a heat insulation cavity. The air in the heat insulation cavity comes into contact with the connector 2. During the operation of the compressor, the compressor itself will generate a large amount of heat. The heat of the compressor will be transferred to the connector 2 through the air in the heat insulation cavity. Since the thermal conductivity of air is low, the heat absorbed by the refrigerant in the connector 2 will be reduced, and the volume of refrigerant expansion due to heat will be reduced. In this way, the flow rate of refrigerant entering the compressor through the air inlet 11 per unit time can be higher.
[0024] It needs to be particularly pointed out that the recess 12 is annular, the recess 12 surrounds the circumference of the plug-in pipe 2, the middle position of the plug-in pipe 2 directly contacts with air, the area of contact with the inner wall of the compressor cylinder is reduced, the heat conduction effect is reduced, the heat absorbed by the refrigerant is reduced, and then the volume of the refrigerant that can be expanded is reduced, the efficiency of the compressor is improved, the utility model also can be opened on the inner wall of the air inlet hole 11 at any position, under the condition that the plug-in pipe 2 and the air inlet hole 11 are matched tightly, the area of contact between the inner wall of the compressor cylinder and the plug-in pipe 2 can be further reduced, and then the refrigerant transmission can be reduced.
[0025] The lower side of the recess 12 is a first entering cavity 13, the first entering cavity 13 is conical, the plug-in pipe 2 comprises a first sealing part 21, the first sealing part 21 is conical, and the diameter of the far end of the first sealing part 21 from the recess 12 is greater than the diameter of the far end of the first entering cavity 13 from the recess 12.
[0026] The contact area between the plug-in pipe 2 and the air inlet hole 11 is small after the recess 12 is added, in order to increase the contact area, the length of the plug-in pipe 2 needs to be lengthened, in the plug-in process, in order to avoid the phenomenon that the plug-in pipe 2 is offset in the air inlet hole 11, the first entering cavity 13 is usually conical, and the first sealing part 21 is also conical, so that the first entering cavity 13 and the first sealing part 21 can be positioned, the first entering cavity 13 and the first sealing part 21 are coaxial, the above-mentioned two will not appear offset phenomenon, since the diameter of the far end of the first sealing part 21 from the recess 12 is greater than the diameter of the far end of the first entering cavity 13 from the recess 12, when the first sealing part 21 is completely plugged into the bottom of the first entering cavity 13, due to the different tapers of the first entering cavity 13 and the first sealing part 21, the first sealing part 21 and the first entering cavity 13 can realize interference fit, the first sealing part 21 and the first entering cavity 13 realize sealing, and refrigerant leakage is avoided.
[0027] The diameter of the end of the first sealing part 21 close to the recess 12 is the same as the diameter of the end of the first entering cavity 13 close to the recess 12, after the first sealing part 21 is plugged to the specified position, the first sealing part 21 can be completely plugged into the first entering cavity 13, the plug-in pipe 2 can be installed at the specified position, the second sealing part 22 can be plugged to the specified position, the second sealing part 22 has a large enough contact area with the air inlet hole 11, and refrigerant leakage is reduced.
[0028] The upper side of the recess 12 of the utility model is a second entering cavity 14, the second entering cavity 14 is conical, the plug-in pipe 2 comprises a second sealing part 22, the second sealing part 22 is conical, and the diameter of the side of the second entering cavity 14 away from the recess 12 is smaller than the diameter of the side of the second sealing part 22 away from the recess 12.
[0029] Since the second entering cavity 14 and the second sealing part 22 are both conical, the second sealing part 22 can be automatically centered during the insertion process, the second entering cavity 14 and the second sealing part 22 are coaxial, and the insertion pipe 2 is prevented from being offset, since the diameter of the second entering cavity 14 away from the groove 12 is smaller than the diameter of the second sealing part 22 away from the groove 12, the second sealing part 22 can be gradually locked during the insertion process, the insertion pipe 2 is finally fixed with the air inlet hole 11, and there is no gap between the insertion pipe 2 and the air inlet hole 11 on the end surface of the air inlet hole 11, so that leakage of refrigerant is prevented.
[0030] The diameter of the second entering cavity 14 close to the groove 12 is the same as the diameter of the second sealing part 22 close to the groove 12, so that the second sealing part 22 can be smoothly inserted into the specified position, the insertion process is more labor-saving, and the upper side of the second sealing part 22 is flush with the end surface of the air inlet hole 11.
