Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration compressor technology, and more specifically, to a cooling structure for a refrigeration compressor. Background Technology
[0002] A refrigeration compressor is a mechanical device used to compress and transport gaseous refrigerant. It is the core and heart of a refrigeration system. The working process of a conventional refrigeration compressor is as follows: it draws in gaseous, low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant, and through the compression process of the compressor, it finally discharges high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant.
[0003] During the entire operation of the compressor, the temperature of the compressor cylinder head (the overall functional unit at the top of the cylinder, usually referring to the combined structure of the cylinder head and cylinder block, including the valve installation area and sealing components) will be particularly high. This will cause the reliability and lifespan of the internal parts of the compressor to be greatly affected when they are running at high temperatures.
[0004] Therefore, improving the heat dissipation effect of the refrigeration compressor is the key to improving compressor performance. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes a cooling structure for a refrigeration compressor, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:
[0006] A cooling structure for a refrigeration compressor includes a reflux cooling pipe. A first end and a second end of the top of the reflux cooling pipe are respectively connected to both sides of the cylinder head. High-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged from the compressor cylinder seat flows into the reflux cooling pipe through the first end and then flows out of the cylinder through the second end. A portion of the reflux cooling pipe extends into a lubricating oil storage pool at the bottom of the compressor cavity and is immersed in the oil.
[0007] Preferably, the portion of the reflux cooling pipe immersed in the oil is U-shaped.
[0008] Preferably, the first pipe end and the second pipe end are welded and fixed to both sides of the cylinder head and connected.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0010] This invention involves welding a reflux cooling pipe onto the cylinder head of a refrigeration compressor. This reflux cooling pipe is partially immersed in the oil in the lubricating oil storage pool at the bottom of the compressor. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor cylinder seat can have its temperature reduced by passing through this reflux cooling pipe, thereby reducing the temperature of the compressor cylinder head and preventing the compressor from operating at excessively high temperatures, thus improving the reliability of the compressor.
[0011] Especially when the compressor is in a high-temperature environment or working under high load, this cooling structure of the present invention can play a more obvious advantage. Attached Figure Description

Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0019] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0020] Example:
[0021] See Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a cooling structure for a refrigeration compressor, including a reflux cooling pipe 1, with the first pipe end 2 and the second pipe end 3 at the top of the reflux cooling pipe 1 respectively connected to both sides of the cylinder head 4.
[0022] Specifically, to ensure the airtightness of the connection, the first pipe end 2 and the second pipe end 3 are welded and fixed to both sides of the cylinder head 4 and connected.
[0023] In the prior art, the cylinder head 4, the body, and the exhaust valve together constitute the exhaust chamber of the compressor. This chamber is the necessary passage for the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas to exit the cylinder. Therefore, in this embodiment, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged from the compressor cylinder seat flows into the return cooling pipe 1 through the first pipe end 2 connected to the cylinder head 4, and then flows out of the cylinder through the second pipe end 3 on the cylinder head 4. At the same time, part of the return cooling pipe 1 extends into the lubricating oil storage pool 5 at the bottom of the compressor cavity and is immersed in the oil.
[0024] In conventional compressors, lubricating oil is required. This lubricating oil is located at the bottom of the compressor housing. The internal structure of the compressor uses an oil pump to transport the oil from bottom to top to the moving parts, forming an oil film for lubrication. Simultaneously, the oil also cools the compressor pump body. Excess oil falls to the bottom of the housing, completing the oil circulation. In this embodiment, by immersing a section of the return cooling pipe 1 in lubricating oil, the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas inside the return cooling pipe 1 can be cooled through the oil cooling effect of the lubricating oil.
[0025] In a further specific embodiment, the portion of the reflux cooling pipe 1 immersed in the oil body is U-shaped, which can extend the cooling path of the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas as much as possible.
[0026] In this embodiment, the reflux cooling pipe 1 is a U-shaped pipe with a bent lower part. The U-shaped part of the reflux cooling pipe is completely immersed in the oil body for oil cooling. The two vertical pipes on the upper side of the reflux cooling pipe extend upward and are connected to the cylinder head 4 on both sides through corresponding bends.
[0027] This invention involves welding a reflux cooling pipe onto the compressor cylinder head. This reflux cooling pipe is partially immersed in the oil at the bottom of the compressor housing, which can reduce the refrigerant temperature and thus directly reduce the compressor cylinder head temperature. This prevents the compressor from operating at excessively high temperatures and improves the compressor's reliability. This cooling structure is particularly advantageous when the compressor is operating in a high-temperature environment or under high load.
[0028] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. For the apparatus disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the method section.

Therefore, the invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
