Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a compressor and vehicle technical field, concretely relates to a compressor and vehicle. BACKGROUND
[0002] The high-low back pressure electric compressor for vehicle is the core component of the new energy automobile thermal management system, and its performance and reliability directly affect the efficiency, energy consumption and service life of the whole vehicle air conditioner refrigeration. During the operation of the compressor, the refrigerant completes the cycle compression through the pressure difference of the high-low pressure cavity, and the thermodynamic characteristics and cleanliness inside the compressor are the key factors to determine its energy efficiency and durability. However, the existing technology still faces the following two types of outstanding problems in actual application, which restricts the comprehensive performance improvement of the compressor.
[0003] Firstly, the heat conduction between the high-pressure cavity and the low-pressure cavity leads to the problem of refrigerant overheating. The high-pressure cavity and the low-pressure cavity of the current compressor are physically isolated by an intermediate partition plate made of metal material. However, the heat generated during the compression of the refrigerant in the high-pressure cavity (including friction heat and compression heat) will be conducted to the low-pressure cavity through the intermediate partition plate. Since the low-pressure cavity carries the low-temperature and low-pressure suction refrigerant, the invasion of heat causes the refrigerant to be heated before entering the pump body suction port, significantly increasing its superheat. Excessive superheat will reduce the actual compression efficiency of the refrigerant, which is manifested as a decrease in refrigeration capacity per unit mass of refrigerant, and more power needs to be consumed to achieve the target refrigeration effect; the increase of suction port refrigerant temperature leads to the increase of compressor discharge temperature, aggravating the risk of thermal aging of internal seals and lubricating oil; the system may be forced to increase the refrigerant circulation amount to balance the overheating, further increasing the compressor load and energy consumption. Although some technologies attempt to reduce heat conduction by optimizing the partition plate structure or adding a thermal insulation coating, the actual thermal insulation effect is limited due to the compact space of the compressor and the use of high-thermal-conductivity metal materials, and it is difficult to meet the heat dissipation demand under high-power working conditions.
[0004] Secondly, the problem of moving part wear caused by system impurity invasion. During the long-term operation of the compressor, impurities (such as metal abrasion, oxidation particles or residual contaminants) in the refrigeration cycle system may enter the compressor interior through the refrigerant flow. When such impurities enter the gap between the crankshaft, vane, bearing and other moving parts with lubricating oil or refrigerant, they will cause abrasive wear, which is manifested as surface scratches on key moving parts, leading to deterioration of sealing performance, increase of internal leakage and decrease of volumetric efficiency; the expansion of the friction pair gap produces abnormal vibration and noise, shortening the service life of the compressor; the secondary generation of wear particles forms a vicious cycle, accelerating the contamination and lubrication failure of the lubricating oil. Traditional solutions rely on external filtering devices to intercept impurities, but under complex working conditions (such as high-low temperature alternation and refrigerant flow rate fluctuation), the filter screen is easy to be blocked or the risk of micron-sized particles penetrating is high. In addition, if the internal flow channel design of the compressor does not fully consider the impurity deposition and discharge path, it may further aggravate the impurity retention and local wear.
