Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of scroll compressor technology, and more specifically, to an internal pressure relief mechanism for a scroll compressor. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasingly widespread application of electric scroll compressors in the field of new energy vehicles, higher requirements are being placed on their safety and reliability. To protect the compressor and its system from overpressure damage, most electric scroll compressors are equipped with pressure relief devices to ensure that the system operates within a safe pressure range. Since new energy vehicles generally use non-flammable and highly safe refrigerants such as R134a, traditional electric scroll compressors mostly employ external pressure relief methods: that is, by installing an external pressure relief valve with a specific pressure specification on the high-pressure chamber or exhaust side of the compressor, when the exhaust pressure exceeds the set value, the valve automatically opens, directly venting the refrigerant gas to the atmosphere, thus releasing the high-pressure gas.

[0003] With the development and increasing application of new energy vehicles in recent years, and the growing attention people pay to environmental issues such as global warming, the traditional external pressure relief method for electric scroll compressors is increasingly showing its limitations.

[0004] 1) Refrigerant upgrades. Non-flammable refrigerants such as R134a will be gradually replaced by environmentally friendly R290. Because R290 is a Class A3 highly flammable refrigerant, using external pressure relief poses a significant safety hazard.

[0005] 2) Traditional R134a refrigerant has a high warming potential, and long-term release into the air will cause a high greenhouse effect, which is not conducive to long-term development.

[0006] 3) Safety issues. The working environment of compressors is usually harsh, and external pressure relief methods can easily cause the pressure relief valve to become clogged and malfunction, preventing high-pressure gas from being discharged in time and creating certain safety hazards;

[0007] 4) Cost issues. Long-term direct release of refrigerant gas into the external environment prevents the refrigerant from being effectively recycled, resulting in high waste rates and increased operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0054] Example 1

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides an internal pressure relief mechanism for a scroll compressor, including a main housing 100, a rear housing 200, a main frame 300, a stationary scroll 400, a moving scroll 500, and a pressure relief valve 600.

[0056] The end face of the main housing 100 is connected to the end face of the opening of the rear housing 200, and the main frame 300 is disposed at the end of the main housing 100 near the rear housing 200;

[0057] The stationary vortex disk 400 is enclosed in the rear housing 200, and the top of the stationary vortex disk 400 and the rear housing 200 enclose a high-pressure chamber, which includes an exhaust high-pressure chamber 11 and an oil return high-pressure chamber 13.

[0058] The moving scroll 500 meshes with the stationary scroll 400 so that the moving scroll 500 moves in a circular motion around the stationary scroll 400.

[0059] A through pressure relief channel 700 is provided in the stationary vortex disk 400; along the extending direction of the pressure relief channel 700, the pressure relief channel 700 has a first end 701 and a second end 702; the first end 701 of the pressure relief channel 700 extends to the top of the stationary vortex disk 400, and the second end 702 of the pressure relief channel 700 is connected to the intake chamber 12.

[0060] The first end 701 is directly opposite the high-pressure chamber, and the pressure relief valve 600 is located at the first end 701.

[0061] The internal pressure relief mechanism of this scroll compressor includes a main housing 100, a rear housing 200, a main frame 300, a stationary scroll 400, a moving scroll 500, and a pressure relief valve 600. A through pressure relief channel 700 is provided in the stationary scroll 400; along the extending direction of the pressure relief channel 700, the pressure relief channel 700 has a first end 701 and a second end 702; the first end 701 of the pressure relief channel 700 extends to the top of the stationary scroll 400, and the second end 702 of the pressure relief channel 700 is connected to the suction chamber 12. By placing the pressure relief channel 700 inside the compressor, the safety deficiencies and environmental pollution problems caused by external pressure relief can be improved, while also effectively circulating the refrigerant and reducing operating costs. This pressure relief mechanism has the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation, energy saving and environmental protection, and low operating costs.

[0062] from Figure 1As can be seen, in the optional embodiment, the inner wall of the main housing 100 and the main frame 300 enclose to form an air intake chamber 12; the second end 702 of the pressure relief channel 700 extends to the bottom of the stationary vortex disk 400 to form a vent 710, and the main frame 300 has a through vent groove 310; the vent 710 and the vent groove 310 are directly opposite each other so that the pressure relief channel 700 is connected to the air intake chamber 12.

[0063] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first end 701 of the pressure relief channel 700 is directly opposite the exhaust high-pressure chamber 11.

[0064] In use, the pressure relief valve 600 is installed inside the stationary vortex plate 400. The pressure relief channel 700 of the stationary vortex plate 400 and the pressure relief channel 700 of the main frame 300 together constitute the internal pressure relief channel 700. The first end 701 of the pressure relief valve 600 is connected to the high-pressure exhaust chamber 11 inside the rear housing 200, and the second end 702 is connected to the low-pressure intake chamber 12 of the housing through the internal pressure relief channel 700.

[0065] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, in an optional embodiment, the pressure relief valve 600 includes a valve body 610, a ball 620, a plunger 630, an elastic element 640, and a front cover 650. The valve body 610 has a sealed inner cavity, in which the ball 620, plunger 630, elastic element 640, and front cover 650 are sequentially arranged. A through air inlet 611 is provided at the top of the valve body 610. The bottom of the elastic element 640 is supported against the bottom wall of the inner cavity by the front cover 650, and the top of the elastic element 640 is supported against the ball 620 by the plunger 630. The elastic element 640 is configured to provide an elastic force that keeps the ball 620 moving towards and blocking the air inlet 611. An air outlet 612 is provided on the valve body 610. Optionally, the elastic element 640 is a spring.

[0066] Furthermore, a pressure relief path for the pressure relief valve 600 is formed from the air inlet 611 to the air outlet 612. The curve with arrows in the figure represents the pressure relief path in the pressure relief valve 600.

[0067] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As can be seen from the figure, in the optional embodiment, the air outlet 612 penetrates the side wall of the valve body 610, and the air outlet 612 is located on the side wall of the valve body 610 near the air inlet 611; when the ball 620 moves away from the air inlet 611, the air inlet 611 and the air outlet 612 are connected.

[0068] The working principle of the pressure relief valve 600 is: to balance the pressure difference between the high-pressure exhaust chamber 11 and the low-pressure intake chamber 12 of the housing by means of spring pressure; when the pressure difference between the high and low chambers does not exceed the spring pressure, the pressure relief valve 600 is in the closed state, and all the gas compressed by the vortex chamber is discharged into the system through the compressor exhaust port.

[0069] When the pressure difference between the high and low pressure chambers exceeds the spring pressure, the ball 620 of the pressure relief valve 600 opens. The opening degree of the ball 620 is positively correlated with the magnitude of the pressure difference. At this time, some of the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas enters the annular channel formed by the outer ring of the valve body 610 and the inner ring of the mounting hole from the outlet 612 on the side of the valve body 610, and then is discharged to the low-pressure suction chamber 12 of the housing through the internal pressure relief channel 700, thereby achieving the purpose of pressure relief. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged to the low-pressure suction chamber 12 of the housing undergoes sufficient expansion, pressure reduction, and convective heat transfer, becoming a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas, which then enters the vortex suction low-pressure suction chamber 12 to continue to be compressed.

[0070] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, along the axial direction of the valve body 610, the valve body 610 includes an upper part 661 and a lower part 662 connected in sequence; the outer diameter of the lower part 662 is smaller than the outer diameter of the upper part 661; an air inlet 611 is disposed on the upper part 661, and an air outlet 612 is disposed on the lower part 662 near the end of the upper part 661. This arrangement allows the refrigerant flowing out from the air outlet 612 to flow smoothly along the outer wall of the lower part 662 to the low-pressure suction chamber 12, while also allowing the outer wall of the lower part 662 and the inner wall of the pressure relief channel 700 to form a gap space for refrigerant flow.

[0071] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In an optional embodiment, the air outlet 612 penetrates the bottom of the valve body 610; the plunger 630 is provided with a plurality of airflow channels 631, each airflow channel 631 extending along the axis of the plunger 630, and the plurality of airflow channels 631 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the plunger 630; a pressure relief air passage is formed from the air inlet 611, the airflow channels 631 to the air outlet 612.

[0072] The working principle of such a pressure relief valve 600 is as follows: axial airflow channels 631 are evenly opened around the plunger 630 of the pressure relief valve 600. The number and diameter of the airflow channels 631 need to be determined according to the flow area entering the pressure relief valve 600. When the exhaust pressure difference exceeds the set value, the pressure relief valve 600 opens, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas enters the internal pressure relief channel 700 through the straight channel formed by the airflow channels 631, and is then discharged to the low-pressure suction chamber 12 of the housing.

[0073] The installation of the pressure relief valve 600 must ensure good sealing performance. An interference fit, welding, or tapered thread fit can be selected to ensure that high-pressure gas can only enter the pressure relief channel 700 through the ball 620. In this embodiment, the pressure relief port is located in the low-pressure intake chamber 12 of the housing. This helps to utilize the large buffer volume of the low-pressure intake chamber 12 to ensure sufficient expansion and convective heat transfer of the high-temperature, high-pressure gas. Consequently, the gas re-entering the vortex intake chamber 12 is a milder, lower-temperature, low-pressure gas, which helps to reduce the airflow impact within the vortex intake chamber 12, reduce exhaust temperature rise and exhaust pulses, and improve safety and reliability.

[0074] It should be noted that the rear housing 200 has a high-pressure return oil chamber 13. The first end 701 of the pressure relief channel 700 can also be directly opposite the high-pressure return oil chamber 13 (i.e., the pressure relief valve 600 relieves pressure on the high-pressure return oil chamber 13), but a sufficient height difference must be ensured with respect to the oil return hole to ensure that the lubricating oil does not enter the low-pressure intake chamber 12 from the pressure relief channel 700.

[0075] Example 2

[0076] like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment is largely the same as the previous embodiment, except that the outer circumferential wall of the stationary vortex disk 400 and the inner circumferential wall of the rear housing 200 form an air intake chamber 12; the second end 702 of the pressure relief channel 700 extends through to the outer circumferential wall of the stationary vortex disk 400.

[0077] The intake chamber 12 here is formed by an annular installation gap between the outer wall of the stationary vortex plate 400 and the inner wall of the rear housing 200. This annular low-pressure intake chamber 12 is connected to the vortex intake port 430. The pressure relief valve 600 and the internal pressure relief channel 700 are both set in the stationary vortex plate 400. The first end 701 of the pressure relief valve 600 is connected to the high-pressure exhaust chamber 11 inside the rear housing 200, and the second end 702 is connected to the annular low-pressure intake chamber 12 through the internal pressure relief channel 700.

[0078] When the pressure difference between the high-pressure and low-pressure suction chambers 12 exceeds a set value, the pressure relief valve 600 opens. The high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas in the exhaust high-pressure chamber 11 is directly discharged into the annular low-pressure suction chamber 12 through the internal pressure relief channel 700. Utilizing this annular space, the gas undergoes sufficient expansion, pressure reduction, and heat exchange, transforming into a low-temperature, low-pressure gas before entering the vortex suction chamber 12 for further compression. The direction of the pressure relief valve 600 mounting hole and the path of the pressure relief channel 700 can be determined according to the structure of the stationary vortex 400, ensuring manufacturing and installation feasibility.

[0079] In this embodiment, the pressure relief port is set in the annular low-pressure intake chamber 12, making full use of the annular installation gap between the stationary vortex disk 400 and the rear housing 200. This reduces the number of parts to be processed. At the same time, while ensuring a certain distance between the pressure relief port and the vortex intake port 430, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas can be fully expanded and heat exchanged before entering the vortex intake chamber 12.

[0080] Example 3

[0081] like Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment is largely the same as the previous embodiment, except that the static vortex disk 400 in this embodiment includes a static vortex substrate 410 and a static vortex profile 420; the static vortex profile 420 is disposed on the end face of the static vortex substrate 410; a through air intake 430 is disposed on the outer wall of the static vortex disk 400, and two adjacent vortex profiles opposite to the air intake 430 enclose an air intake cavity 12.

[0082] The pressure relief valve 600 is installed inside the stationary vortex plate 400. Its first end 701 is connected to the exhaust high-pressure chamber 11, and its second end 702 is directly connected to the vortex low-pressure intake chamber 12.

[0083] When the pressure difference between the high and low pressure suction chambers 12 exceeds the set value, the pressure relief valve 600 opens, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas in the exhaust high-pressure chamber 11 directly enters the vortex suction chamber 12 through the pressure relief valve 600. To ensure a larger pressure relief space and sufficient expansion and heat exchange, the pressure relief port should be located as close as possible to the vortex suction port 430.

[0084] In an optional embodiment, the extending direction of the pressure relief channel 700 is perpendicular to the surface of the vortex substrate 410. This shortens the length of the pressure relief channel 700, improving pressure relief efficiency and circulation effect.

[0085] like Figure 8 As shown, the internal pressure relief structure of the above embodiment is simple and easy to implement, but the high temperature and high pressure of the gas can easily cause a large airflow impact on the intake chamber 12, resulting in a pressure imbalance between the two vortex intake chambers 12 and an increase in exhaust pulses. In order to effectively solve the problem of pressure imbalance in the vortex intake chamber 12 caused by airflow impact, this embodiment proposes a dual pressure relief valve 600 structure.

[0086] In an optional embodiment, the stationary vortex disk 400 is provided with at least two pressure relief channels 700 and an air intake port 430; each pressure relief channel 700 is provided with a pressure relief valve 600; two adjacent vortex lines opposite each air intake port 430 enclose an air intake chamber 12; multiple pressure relief channels 700 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the stationary vortex disk 400.

[0087] Furthermore, this embodiment illustrates the pressure relief mechanism of the dual pressure relief valve 600. From Figure 8 As can be seen, pressure relief valves 600 are installed in both low-pressure intake chambers 12 of the stationary vortex plate 400. To ensure that both pressure relief valves 600 can open simultaneously, the position of the pressure relief valves 600 needs to be adjusted according to whether the vortex is symmetrical or not, to ensure that the pressure difference across the two ends of the pressure relief valves 600 is consistent. The dual pressure relief valve 600 structure in this embodiment can effectively reduce exhaust pulses caused by a single valve.

[0088] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides an internal pressure relief mechanism for a scroll compressor, which has at least the following advantages:

[0089] Through a specific pressure relief channel 700 and a built-in pressure relief valve 600, high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas is discharged from the high-pressure chamber of the compressor to the low-pressure suction chamber 12 (such as the housing low-pressure suction chamber 12, the scroll suction chamber 12, the annular low-pressure suction chamber 12, etc.):

[0090] 1) It can be used with A3-class flammable refrigerants such as R290, avoiding safety hazards caused by refrigerant discharge, and has a wider range of applications.

[0091] 2) It enables the refrigerant to be effectively recycled, reducing refrigerant waste and avoiding environmental problems caused by direct refrigerant emissions.

[0092] 3) The pressure relief valve 600 is built-in, which can avoid the blockage problem caused by harsh environment, making it more adaptable and safer.

[0093] 4) The refrigerant can circulate repeatedly inside the compressor, which has the advantages of saving energy and reducing costs.

[0094] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
