[0002] The compressor cylinder is the core component of a compressor, and its main function is to compress gas. Because gas has a certain degree of compressibility, it needs to be compressed to a certain pressure before it can be used in actual production. The compressor cylinder plays a crucial role in this process.
[0003] A compressor cylinder typically consists of a cylinder head, cylinder body, piston, and piston rings. The piston is a freely movable component inside the cylinder, reciprocating within it. Under the action of the piston, the gas is gradually compressed and eventually discharged.
[0004] The cylinder is one of the core components of a compressor, and its maintenance is crucial. During use, piston rings, as critical wear parts, require regular replacement and maintenance. However, existing piston rings typically use a tight-fitting design embedded in the piston ring groove, requiring the application of external force to disassemble and reassemble the piston ring, making maintenance cumbersome and inconvenient. Therefore, this invention provides a piston structure for an air conditioning compressor cylinder to solve the problems mentioned in the background section. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a piston structure in the cylinder of an air conditioner compressor. The piston is composed of a base plate, a top plate, a connecting plate, a first piston ring, and a second piston ring. It is easy to disassemble and assemble, and each component is installed and separated layer by layer, reducing the complexity of disassembly and maintenance. Furthermore, the first piston ring and the second piston ring are positioned by the cooperation of the insertion part and the insertion groove, rather than the traditional interference fit. After wear, it is easy to replace any piston ring. Regular replacement of the piston ring can prevent cylinder leakage and wear.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a piston structure in an air conditioning compressor cylinder is provided, including a base plate, a top plate disposed above the base plate, and a connecting plate disposed between the base plate and the top plate, wherein a second piston ring and a first piston ring are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the connecting plate;
[0007] The bottom plate, top plate and connecting plate are all provided with insertion grooves, and the first piston ring and the second piston ring are all formed with insertion parts, which are inserted into the corresponding insertion grooves.
[0008] A fixing block is fixed in the middle of the base plate, and a bolt is inserted inside the top plate, with the bolt threaded to the fixing block.
[0009] According to the piston structure in the cylinder of an air conditioner compressor, both the bottom plate and the top plate are provided with a first weight reduction groove.
[0010] According to the piston structure in the cylinder of an air conditioning compressor, a gap is provided between the top plate and the cylinder wall.
[0011] According to the piston structure in the cylinder of an air conditioner compressor, a connecting rod is fixedly provided at the bottom of the base plate, and a second weight reduction groove is provided inside the connecting rod.
[0012] According to the piston structure in the cylinder of an air conditioner compressor, the connecting plate is sleeved on the outside of the fixing block, the fixing block is also provided with a second weight reduction groove, and the top side of the fixing block is provided with a threaded groove.
[0013] According to the piston structure in the cylinder of an air conditioner compressor, the outer sides of the bottom plate, top plate and connecting plate are all provided with a nano-Al2O3-TiC composite coating, and the surface of the bolt is provided with a CrAlN coating.
[0014] According to the piston structure in the cylinder of an air conditioner compressor, both the outer surfaces of the first piston ring and the second piston ring are provided with DLC coating.
