Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compressor technology, and more specifically, to a compressor valve group structure with anti-liquid slugging feature. Background Technology
[0002] The valve assembly structure of a reciprocating compressor is a core component affecting its performance and reliability. In existing technology, the valve assembly typically consists of an intake valve plate, an exhaust valve plate, a valve plate, and an exhaust valve plate limiting plate, such as... Figure 5-7 As shown, its working principle is as follows: when the pressure inside the cylinder is lower than the pressure at the intake end, the intake valve opens and the exhaust valve closes; when the pressure inside the cylinder is higher than the pressure at the exhaust end, the exhaust valve opens and the intake valve closes, thereby realizing the periodic intake and exhaust of gas.
[0003] However, this structure still has the following significant drawbacks in practical applications:
[0004] Liquid slugging risk: The suction valve plate is susceptible to liquid slugging caused by the retention of liquid refrigerant or lubricating oil, which can lead to fatigue fracture of the valve plate, especially under low temperature or high humidity conditions where the failure rate increases significantly.
[0005] Efficiency loss: Excessive exhaust port clearance volume causes residual high-pressure gas to expand during the intake phase, occupying cylinder volume and reducing compression efficiency. This effect is particularly pronounced in small-displacement engines.
[0006] Assembly risks: The interchangeable design of the valve plate and the exhaust valve disc makes them easy to mix during assembly, which can lead to sealing failure.
[0007] There is currently no effective solution to the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0008] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems in related technologies, this utility model proposes a compressor valve group structure with anti-liquid slugging, which can overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art.
[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0010] A compressor valve assembly structure with anti-liquid slugging feature includes a valve plate, a front end of which is provided with an intake valve plate, and a rear end of which is provided with an exhaust valve plate and an exhaust valve limiting plate. The valve plate is characterized in that an oil leakage groove is provided at the intake end, the oil leakage groove is arranged along the intake hole, and the end of the oil leakage groove is connected to the exhaust hole of the valve plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the oil leakage grooves corresponding to a single air intake hole are not connected, but the oil leakage grooves corresponding to two air intake holes are connected between the two air intake holes and then connected to the exhaust holes respectively.
[0012] Furthermore, the valve plate has a boss at the connection with the exhaust valve plate, and the exhaust valve plate has a groove that matches the boss.
[0013] Furthermore, the diameter of the exhaust port is 1-2 mm smaller than that of the original exhaust port.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model sets an oil leakage groove that connects to the exhaust hole at the intake end of the valve plate, thereby allowing the stagnant liquid to be discharged in a directional manner, thus eliminating liquid hammer and preventing valve plate breakage; the matching structure between the boss and the groove ensures that the exhaust valve plate is installed in only one direction, thus avoiding mixed installation; by reducing the diameter of the exhaust hole by 1-2mm, the clearance volume is reduced, thereby improving the compression efficiency.

The shape and depth of the oil leakage grooves can be set according to needs.
[0027] The valve plate 1 has a boss 9 at the connection with the exhaust valve plate 3, and the exhaust valve plate 3 has a groove 10 that matches the boss 9. The shape and position of the boss in the foolproof design can be set as needed.
[0028] The exhaust port 8 is 1-2mm smaller in diameter than the original exhaust port. The size of the exhaust port varies depending on the flow rate of different discharge volumes. The clearance volume is reduced while ensuring the flow rate. The specific size can be set according to needs.
