Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compressor technology, and in particular to a scroll compressor applicable to all refrigerants. Background Technology

[0002] A scroll compressor is a compressible volumetric compressor consisting of a fixed stationary scroll and an eccentrically rotating moving scroll. During the intake, compression, and exhaust processes, the stationary scroll is fixed inside the casing, while the moving scroll, driven and constrained by an anti-rotation mechanism, rotates in a plane around the base circle of the stationary scroll with a very small radius. Gas is drawn into the periphery of the stationary scroll through the intake port. As the moving scroll rotates, the gas is gradually compressed within several crescent-shaped compression chambers formed by the engagement of the moving and stationary scrolls, and then continuously discharged outwards through the exhaust port.

[0003] In existing technologies, some application scenarios require the deployment of multiple scroll compressors to work together to meet the operating requirements. However, deploying multiple compressors individually would take up more space and involve more connecting pipes, power supplies, and other accessories, which would limit the use of the equipment.

[0036] This embodiment provides a scroll compressor applicable to all refrigerants. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 3As shown, the scroll compressor includes a housing 1, a compression assembly, and a drive unit. The housing 1 has an intake port 111 and an exhaust port 121. The compression assembly is located inside the housing 1 and includes at least two corresponding moving scroll plates 21 and stationary scroll plates 22. The moving scroll plates 21 are rotatably connected to the housing 1, and the stationary scroll plates 22 are fixedly connected to the housing 1. The corresponding moving scroll plates 21 and stationary scroll plates 22 together form a compression chamber communicating with the intake port 111 and the exhaust port 121. The drive unit is located inside the housing 1 and is used to drive all the moving scroll plates 21 to rotate.

[0037] In this embodiment, at least two moving scroll plates 21 and stationary scroll plates 22 are provided within the housing 1 of an independent compressor. Compared with setting multiple separate scroll compressors, this effectively reduces the number of accessories, lowers operating costs, and reduces space occupation, resulting in a more compact overall structure. This makes it suitable for applications with limited space, such as small air conditioning units and vehicle air conditioning systems, thus improving applicability. Furthermore, the compression assembly includes at least two corresponding moving scroll plates 21 and stationary scroll plates 22, meaning the housing 1 can have at least two compression chambers. All the moving scroll plates 21 are driven to rotate by a drive unit, and air is drawn into the housing 1 through the intake port 111. After being compressed simultaneously by multiple compression chambers, the air is continuously discharged outwards through the exhaust port 121, effectively improving compression efficiency, reducing refrigerant pressure loss and heat exchange loss inside the housing 1, increasing the energy efficiency ratio of the entire refrigeration system, reducing energy consumption, and maintaining high performance over a wider operating range.

[0038] In this embodiment, the driving component includes a through-shaft motor 31, which includes a motor housing 311 and a motor shaft 312 rotatably disposed within the motor housing 311. The motor housing 311 is fixed inside the outer casing 1, and both ends of the motor shaft 312 extend out of the motor housing 311. The compression assembly includes two corresponding moving scroll plates 21 and stationary scroll plates 22. The two moving scroll plates 21 are correspondingly disposed at opposite ends of the motor shaft 312, and each moving scroll plate 21 is connected to the corresponding end of the motor shaft 312. Specifically, when the motor shaft 312 of the through-shaft motor 31 rotates, it can simultaneously drive the two moving scroll plates 21 at both ends to rotate, thereby enabling the two compression chambers to compress air simultaneously.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, a sleeve 211 is provided on the side of the moving scroll plate 21 facing the motor shaft 312, and the moving scroll plate 21 is fixedly sleeved on the motor shaft 312 through the sleeve 211. The sleeve 211 enables effective fixation between the moving scroll plate 21 and the corresponding side of the motor shaft 312. Specifically, one of the motor shaft 312 and the sleeve 211 has a keyway, and the other has a corresponding connecting key 212, which is inserted into the keyway. The keyway is formed on the side wall of the sleeve 211, and the connecting key 212 is fixedly mounted on the motor shaft 312. When the sleeve 211 is sleeved on the motor shaft 312, the connecting key 212 is inserted into the keyway. This arrangement can prevent the moving scroll plate 21 from rotating relative to the motor shaft 312, ensuring reliable fixation between the moving scroll plate 21 and the motor shaft 312.

[0040] In some alternative embodiments, the moving scroll plate 21 has a connecting shaft (not shown) on the side facing the motor shaft 312, and the connecting shaft is connected to the corresponding end of the motor shaft 312 via a coupling. By providing a coupling, an effective connection between the moving scroll plate 21 and the corresponding side of the motor shaft 312 can also be achieved.

[0041] Optionally, a support bearing (not shown) is provided inside the housing 1, through which the motor shaft 312 passes and is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The support bearing effectively supports the suspended portion of the motor shaft 312 within the housing 1 and provides a rotatable connection with the housing 1, further ensuring structural reliability and stability.

[0042] In this embodiment, the scroll compressor applicable to all refrigerants also includes an electrical control 4, which drives the motor shaft 312 of the through-shaft motor 31 to rotate. Optionally, the electrical control 4 can be configured as a PCB circuit board.

[0043] In this embodiment, the number of intake ports 111 corresponds one-to-one with the number of moving scroll plates 21. The number of exhaust ports 121 corresponds one-to-one with the number of moving scroll plates 21.

[0044] In this embodiment, the outer casing 1 is provided with an air intake connector 11, and an air intake port 111 is opened on the air intake connector 11. The outer casing 1 is provided with an exhaust connector 12, and an exhaust port 121 is opened on the exhaust connector 12. By providing the air intake connector 11 and the exhaust connector 12, it is possible to connect to external pipelines as needed.

[0045] In some other alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 4As shown, the drive unit includes two non-through-shaft motors 32, each corresponding to one of the two moving scroll plates 21. It can be understood that the non-through-shaft motors 32 are conventional motors with only one end extending from the output shaft. The output shafts of both non-through-shaft motors 32 are connected to their corresponding moving scroll plates 21. By using two non-through-shaft motors 32, the rotation speed of the two moving scroll plates 21 can be independently controlled, thereby adapting to the compression conditions of the two compression chambers and improving performance to a certain extent.

[0046] In some alternative embodiments, the compression assembly may also be provided with two or more moving scroll disks 21 and stationary scroll disks 22, for example, three moving scroll disks 21 and stationary scroll disks 22. (Refer to...) Figure 5 As shown, corresponding to the three moving scroll plates 21 and the stationary scroll plate 22, the driving component includes a through-shaft motor 31 and a gear assembly 33 for transmitting power. Specifically, the gear assembly 33 is located inside the housing 1 and includes a first transmission gear 331, a second transmission gear 332, a third transmission gear 333, a fourth transmission gear 334, and a transmission shaft 335. Among the three moving scroll plates 21, two are connected via the through-shaft motor 31, while a transfer shaft 213 is provided on one side of the remaining moving scroll plate 21. Specifically, the first transmission gear 331 is fixedly mounted on the motor shaft 312 of the through-shaft motor 31, the fourth transmission gear 334 is fixedly mounted on the transfer shaft 213, and the second transmission gear 332 and the third transmission gear 333 are respectively fixedly mounted on the transmission shaft 335, which is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The first transmission gear 331 is meshed with the second transmission gear 332, and the third transmission gear 333 is meshed with the fourth transmission gear 334.

[0047] Specifically, when the through-shaft motor 31 is working, the motor shaft 312 rotates to drive the two moving scroll plates 21 connected to it to rotate. The rotation of the motor shaft 312 can transmit power to the other moving scroll plate 21 in sequence through the first transmission gear 331, the second transmission gear 332, the transmission shaft 335, the third transmission gear 333, the fourth transmission gear 334, and the adapter shaft 213, so that the three moving scroll plates 21 rotate at the same time and realize the synchronous operation of the three compression chambers.

[0048] In summary, the scroll compressor provided in this embodiment effectively enhances the cooling / heating capacity compared to conventional compressors. It features at least two corresponding moving scroll plates 21 and stationary scroll plates 22, allowing for simultaneous refrigerant compression. This enables the handling of a larger refrigerant flow rate within the same timeframe. The electrical control 4 allows for simultaneous control of at least two moving scroll plates 21, facilitating convenient control and high integration. Compared to using multiple individual scroll compressors, this design effectively reduces component requirements, lowers operating costs, and minimizes space requirements, resulting in a more compact overall structure. This makes it suitable for applications in space-constrained environments such as small air conditioning units and vehicle air conditioning systems, enhancing its applicability. Because at least two sets of moving scroll plates 21 and stationary scroll plates 22 operate simultaneously, the compression capacity is significantly enhanced. Therefore, it can rapidly compress and deliver the refrigerant to the heat exchanger after startup, allowing the indoor or cooled space to reach the set temperature more quickly. Furthermore, the compressor can be operated under partial load conditions, enabling flexible control of the two compression units and enhancing its practicality.

[0049] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
