Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical sealing connection structure technology, specifically to a novel sealing terminal for a refrigerator compressor. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component connecting the motor and external power supply, the sealed terminal of the refrigerator compressor directly determines the compressor's operational stability through its structural reliability. Traditional solutions use an iron-nickel alloy pin and a cold-rolled steel column sealed with a glass body, relying on an interference fit between the pin and the motor lead terminals for fixation. While this structure meets basic insulation and sealing requirements, it has inherent defects in terms of material thermal expansion coefficient matching and resistance to mechanical vibration.

[0003] In existing technologies, the fastening methods for interference fits are limited by the differences in the linear expansion coefficients of different materials (such as iron-nickel alloy pins and copper terminals). The high-temperature environment during compressor operation can easily cause changes in the fit dimensions, turning the interference fit into a clearance fit. Furthermore, the lack of an effective constraint mechanism for the lateral alternating stress generated by compressor vibration further exacerbates the risk of terminal loosening.

[0004] To address the above issues, there is an urgent need for a technology solution that balances structural strength, ease of assembly, and long-term stability in preventing detachment. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems in related technologies, this utility model proposes a novel sealed terminal for refrigerator compressors, which can overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art.

A glass body for fusion sealing is provided between the terminal body and the metal pin. A radially protruding limiting block is provided at the tail of the metal pin. The outer diameter of the limiting block is larger than the inner diameter of the first motor lead terminal, and the end of the limiting block is provided with a guide chamfer.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting block consists of at least two limiting blocks evenly distributed along the circumference of the metal pin, and the interval area between each limiting block forms an assembly channel.

[0011] Furthermore, the limiting block is an annular boss surrounding the metal pin, and the axial cross-section of the annular boss is trapezoidal.

A glass body for fusion sealing is provided between the terminal body and the metal pin. A limiting groove is provided at the tail of the metal pin. A matching second motor lead terminal is provided with an elastic snap-fit ​​structure that cooperates with the limiting groove. The elastic snap-fit ​​structure includes at least two symmetrically distributed barbed springs.

[0013] Furthermore, the depth h of the limiting groove and the thickness t of the elastic buckle structure satisfy h≥1.2t, and the bottom diameter D3 of the limiting groove and the diameter D2 of the metal pin body satisfy D3≤D2-0.4mm.

[0014] Furthermore, the free end of the barbed spring is provided with a guide slope, and the angle between the guide slope and the axis of the metal pin is 20°-35°.

[0015] Furthermore, the elastic snap-fit ​​structure is made of shape memory alloy material, and the phase change temperature of the elastic snap-fit ​​structure is lower than the lower limit of the normal operating temperature range of the compressor.

[0016] Furthermore, the metal pin is made of iron-nickel alloy material, and the ratio of its coefficient of linear expansion to the coefficient of linear expansion of copper material in the first motor lead terminal or the second motor lead terminal is controlled within the range of 1:1.2-1:1.5.

[0035] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the following detailed description of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model is provided through specific usage methods.

[0036] In practical use, this utility model describes a novel sealed terminal block for a refrigerator compressor.

[0037] In the first embodiment: The sealing terminal consists of a terminal body 1 made of cold-rolled steel and a metal pin 2 made of iron-nickel alloy, which are hermetically sealed by a high-temperature molten borosilicate glass body. The metal pin 2 has three circumferentially distributed limiting blocks 3 machined at its tail. The limiting block height H = 0.8 mm, the maximum outer diameter D1 = 3.3 mm, and the metal pin body diameter D2 = 3.0 mm, meeting the technical requirement of D1-D2 = 0.3 mm. The limiting block 3 has a 45° guide chamfer at its end, with an axial length of 0.6 mm. During assembly, the copper first motor lead terminal 4 is pressed in along the assembly channel. When the terminal end face contacts the limiting block 3, the limiting structure generates a radial constraint force of 1.2 kN. Vibration testing shows that the terminal displacement is less than 0.05 mm, and the change in the fitting clearance is controlled within 0.04 mm within the operating temperature range of -30℃ to 120℃.

[0038] In the second embodiment: An annular limiting groove 5 with a depth h = 0.6 mm and a bottom diameter D3 = 2.6 mm is machined at the tail of the metal pin 2. The matching second motor lead terminal 8 is made of alloy, and its elastic snap-fit ​​structure 6 includes two symmetrically distributed barbed springs 7 with a thickness t = 0.5 mm. A 30° guide slope is provided at the free end of the springs. When the second motor lead terminal 8 is press-fitted, the guide slope guides the barbed springs 7 to deform and slide into the limiting groove 5. After the elastic snap-fit ​​structure 6 engages with the limiting groove 5, a retaining force is generated. The elastic snap-fit ​​structure 6, made of shape memory alloy, has a phase change temperature set to -10℃ (5℃ lower than the compressor's minimum operating temperature). The shape memory effect at high temperatures increases the snap-fit ​​retaining pressure, effectively reducing the contact resistance change rate.

[0039] In summary, by utilizing the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model and through the optimized and improved design of the product of this utility model, the metal pin tail limiting structure and the terminal form a multi-dimensional constraint, thereby achieving a dual terminal anti-detachment effect that suppresses thermal expansion deformation and vibration displacement; through the coordinated design of guide chamfer and limiting height, the terminal pressing resistance is reduced, thereby achieving an effective balance between non-destructive assembly and rigid locking.
