Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of positive displacement compressor lubrication technology, and in particular to a directional lubrication system for a compressor crankcase. Background Technology
[0002] A positive displacement compressor relies on a motor to sequentially drive the crankshaft, connecting rod, crosshead, and piston rod in the crankcase. The piston rod then pushes the diaphragm in the diaphragm head, thereby compressing the gas. During this process, the moving parts located in the crankcase require adequate lubrication.
[0003] However, the existing compressor crankcase lubrication system has the following defects: parallel oil circuits cause the oil pressure in the remote oil passages to drop by more than 40%, resulting in insufficient bearing lubrication, dry friction, and easy wear; the contact surface between the crosshead and the slide rail is severely worn in some areas; and the lubricating oil recovery rate is low.

[0030] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] Please see Figure 1-4 The embodiments of this utility model include:
[0032] This utility model discloses a directional lubrication system for a compressor crankcase, comprising: a crankcase body 10, a crankshaft 20, a linkage assembly 30, a slide rail 40, a rotary two-stage distributor 50, a V-shaped oil guide ramp 60, and an oil collection groove 70.
[0033] The crankcase body 10 has an oil outlet at its bottom, which is connected to the oil inlet 11 of a rotary two-stage distributor 50 via a pipeline. The rotary two-stage distributor 50 is installed on the crankshaft 20 to achieve dynamic and balanced distribution of oil pressure.
[0034] Specifically, the rotary two-stage distributor 50 includes a primary spiral guide rotor 51 and a secondary pressure distribution valve 52. The primary spiral guide rotor 51 has an involute guide groove with a helix angle of 25°-35° on its outer wall, a groove depth of 2-3 mm, and a groove width 1.5-2.0 times the groove depth, used to reduce turbulence of the lubricating oil. The secondary pressure distribution valve 52 consists of an elastic valve plate 521 and a dual-outlet flow regulating chamber 522, used to evenly distribute lubricating oil to both ends of the crankshaft 20. The elastic valve plate 521 is made of beryllium bronze, with a thickness of 0.3-0.8 mm, preferably 0.5 mm, and a response pressure difference range of 0.1-0.5 MPa. The output end of the primary spiral guide rotor 51 is connected to the inlet chamber of the secondary pressure distribution valve 52, and its end is axially clearance-fitted with the elastic valve plate.
[0035] The crankshaft 20 extends vertically through the middle of the crankcase body 10.
[0036] The linkage assembly 30 consists of two sets, located on both sides of the crankshaft 20, and includes a connecting rod body 31 and a crosshead body 32. The connecting rod body 31 is a hollow tubular structure, with one end connected to the oil outlet of the crankshaft 20 and the other end connected to the inner cavity of the crosshead body 32, forming an oil passage.
[0037] The slide rail 40 is installed inside the crankcase body 10 and is located below the crosshead body 32 of the linkage assembly 30. The lubricating oil flowing out of the crosshead body 32 will enter the slide rail 40.
[0038] The V-shaped oil guide ramp 60 is located at the bottom of the slide rail 40, and its width is greater than that of the slide rail. Combined with the V-shaped structure design, it allows all the lubricating oil to fall onto the V-shaped oil guide ramp. The V-shaped oil guide ramp 60 is an inclined structure, specifically, it slopes downward at an angle of 50-55° from the starting section to the end, and the surface of the ramp is provided with an oil-repellent layer.
[0039] The oil collecting trough 70 is installed at the end of the V-shaped oil guide ramp 60 to collect the lubricating oil collected by the V-shaped oil guide ramp 60. Its inner wall has an oleophobic coating. Specifically, the oil collecting trough 70 is an ultrasonic oil collecting trough, which embeds a piezoelectric ceramic oscillator with a vibration frequency of 10-20kHz and an amplitude of 15-20μm. The vibration of the piezoelectric ceramic oscillator breaks the surface tension of the oil and increases the oil return speed. Through the design of the V-shaped oil guide ramp 60 and the oil collecting trough 70, a closed loop of directional lubricating oil recovery is formed, improving the recovery efficiency.
[0040] The contact surface between the crosshead body 32 and the slide rail 40 is also covered with a honeycomb microporous lubricating layer 33, specifically a laser-processed microporous array with a pore size of 0.5-0.8 mm and a density of 10-15 pores / cm², such as 12 pores / cm². 2 The lubricating oil inside the crosshead body 32 continuously seeps out from the honeycomb microporous lubrication layer through capillary action, ensuring full oil film coverage in high-load areas and improving lubrication performance.
[0041] The working principle of the above-mentioned compressor crankcase directional lubrication system is as follows: after the lubricating oil is steadily distributed from the oil inlet 11 by the rotary two-stage distributor 50, it enters the oil passages at both ends of the crankshaft 20; it flows through the connecting rod body 31 to the inner cavity of the crosshead body 32, and continuously seeps oil through the honeycomb microporous lubrication layer to the slide rail 40; the waste oil flows along the V-shaped oil guide ramp 60 into the oil collection tank 70, and after being demulsified by ultrasonic vibration, it is pumped back to the oil inlet 11 by the return oil pipeline.
[0042] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
