Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compressor technology, and in particular to a rotor assembly for an electric motor, an electric motor, and a compressor. Background Technology

[0002] The main functions of refrigeration oil in a compressor are lubrication and sealing. However, during compressor operation, especially when a variable frequency compressor is running at high frequency, due to the large discharge flow, refrigeration oil is easily discharged out of the compressor along with the refrigerant through the discharge pipe. This can lead to insufficient oil inside the compressor, resulting in inadequate lubrication and affecting the reliability of compressor operation. At the same time, excessive refrigeration oil entering the air conditioning system reduces the heat exchange performance of the air conditioning system, leading to a decrease in the energy efficiency of the air conditioning system.

[0003] Currently, the rotor structure of a compressor generally consists of a rotor core, magnets, end plates, balance blocks, and oil baffles. The end plates are located on the end faces of the rotor core, the balance blocks are located on the end plates, and the oil baffles are located on the end faces of the balance blocks furthest from the rotor core. This changes the direction of the airflow discharged from the rotor core, causing the airflow to discharge radially and reducing the compressor's oil discharge. However, the fit between the oil baffles, balance blocks, and rotor core in this type of rotor structure is relatively poor, and the oil baffles are isolated from the rotor core, resulting in relatively low airflow discharge efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a rotor assembly for an electric motor, an electric motor and a compressor that can promote the settling of refrigeration oil, improve the airflow discharge efficiency and enhance the connection stability between the balance block and the oil baffle.

In addition, by setting a drainage channel on the oil baffle and connecting the drainage channel to the airflow channel of the rotor body, the oil baffle ensures that a large amount of refrigerant oil is blocked and settles, while not affecting the smooth passage of gaseous refrigerant. Furthermore, the drainage channel effectively improves the airflow discharge efficiency.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the balancing block and at least two of the drainage blocks are spaced apart along the circumferential direction.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the outer peripheral wall of the oil baffle is recessed inward to form an arc-shaped notch, and the two arc-shaped ends of the oil baffle adjacent to the arc-shaped notch are respectively formed with abutting parts, and the two abutting parts are respectively abutted and fixed to the two steps.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the outline of the arc-shaped notch is adapted to the shape of the protrusion, and the arc-shaped notch and the protrusion are fitted together.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims. In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used only to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence, nor should they be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] In related technologies, the rotor structure of a compressor generally consists of a rotor core, magnets, end plates, balance blocks, and oil baffles. The end plates are located on the end faces of the rotor core, the balance blocks are located on the end plates, and the oil baffles are located on the end faces of the balance blocks furthest from the rotor core. This changes the direction of the airflow discharged from the rotor core, causing the airflow to discharge radially and reducing the compressor's oil discharge. However, the fit between the oil baffles, balance blocks, and rotor core in this type of rotor structure is relatively poor, and the oil baffles are isolated from the rotor core, resulting in relatively low airflow discharge efficiency.

[0028] Therefore, this utility model embodiment provides a rotor assembly for an electric motor, an electric motor, and a compressor. The rotor assembly for an electric motor, the electric motor, and the compressor according to this utility model embodiment can promote the settling of refrigeration oil, improve airflow discharge efficiency, and enhance the connection stability between the balance block 20 and the oil baffle 30.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The first aspect of this utility model provides a rotor assembly for an electric motor, including a rotor body 10, a balance block 20, and an oil baffle 30; the rotor body 10 has an airflow channel; the balance block 20 is disposed on the end face of the rotor body 10, and the end face of the balance block 20 away from the rotor body 10 has a protrusion 21 and a stepped portion 22 located on both sides of the protrusion 21; the oil baffle 30 is disposed on the two stepped portions 22 and the rotor body 10, and the oil baffle 30 has a drainage channel 34, which is connected to the airflow channel.

[0030] The rotor body 10 of this invention includes a rotor core and magnets. The rotor core has a groove for accommodating the magnets, and an airflow channel extends through both ends of the rotor core along its axial direction. Furthermore, an end plate 11 is provided on the end face of the rotor core to prevent the balance block 20 and the oil baffle 30 from directly contacting the rotor core.

[0031] Therefore, according to the rotor assembly for motor of this utility model, by providing a stepped portion 22 on the balance block 20 and connecting and fixing the oil baffle 30 to the stepped portion 22 of the balance block 20 and the rotor body 10 respectively, the compactness of the connection between the balance block 20, the oil baffle 30 and the rotor body 10 is greatly improved, effectively enhancing the connection stability between the balance block 20 and the oil baffle 30. In addition, by providing a drainage channel 34 on the oil baffle 30 and connecting the drainage channel 34 to the airflow channel of the rotor body 10, the oil baffle 30 can ensure that a large amount of refrigerant oil is blocked and settles, while not affecting the smooth passage of gaseous refrigerant. Furthermore, the drainage effect of the drainage channel 34 effectively improves the airflow discharge efficiency.

[0032] In some embodiments of this utility model, the oil baffle 30 has a central hole 35 through which the crankshaft passes along the axial direction in the middle. The end face of the oil baffle 30 near the rotor body 10 has at least two guide blocks 33, and a guide channel 34 is formed between two adjacent guide blocks 33 and / or between the guide block 33 and the step portion 22. It can be understood that in these embodiments, a guide channel 34 can be formed between the guide blocks 33, and a guide channel 34 can also be formed between the guide block 33 closest to the step portion 22 and the step portion 22. In all these cases, the airflow discharged from the airflow channel can be changed to be discharged radially, and the gas discharge efficiency can be effectively improved by utilizing the guiding effect of the guide channel 34.

[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, the length of the diversion block 33 along the axial direction is equal to the length of the step portion 22 along the axial direction, and the end face of the diversion block 33 away from the oil baffle 30 is disposed on the rotor body 10. Furthermore, in these embodiments, the balance block 20 and at least two diversion blocks 33 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction, which can be understood as the balance block 20 and at least two diversion blocks 33 all being located on the same circle.

[0034] In some embodiments of this invention, the oil baffle 30 is integrally formed with at least two diversion blocks 33. Furthermore, in these embodiments, the diversion blocks 33 can be riveted to the rotor body 10.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, the outer peripheral wall of the oil baffle 30 is recessed inward to form an arc-shaped notch 32, and the two arc-shaped ends of the oil baffle 30 adjacent to the arc-shaped notch 32 are respectively formed with abutting parts 31, and the two abutting parts 31 are respectively abutted and fixed with the two step parts 22.

[0036] Furthermore, in these embodiments, the outline of the arc-shaped notch 32 is adapted to the shape of the protrusion 21, and the arc-shaped notch 32 and the protrusion 21 are closely connected. It can be understood that in these embodiments, by designing an arc-shaped notch 32 with clearance on the oil baffle 30, and making the outline of the arc-shaped notch 32 the same as the inner arc and the outlines on both sides of the protrusion 21, the oil baffle 30 can fit against the side wall of the protrusion 21 through the arc-shaped notch 32, and the abutment portions 31 on both sides of the arc-shaped notch 32 correspond one-to-one with the two stepped portions 22 of the balance block 20. The stepped portions 22 and the abutment portions 31 can be riveted to the rotor body 10. Similarly, the protrusion 21 can be riveted to the rotor body 10. In this way, the connection between the balance block 20 and the oil baffle 30 is more compact and reasonable, and the stability of the connection between the two is improved, making it less likely for them to detach.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, the balance block 20 has an arc-shaped structure, and the length of the protrusion 21 along the axial direction is less than or equal to the length of the step 22 along the axial direction.
