Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compressor technology, and in particular to a compression assembly and a rotary compressor. Background Technology

[0002] In the development of rotary compressors, miniaturization is a trend. For fixed-speed compressors in dehumidifiers, heat pump dryers, and water heaters, single-cylinder compressors often suffer from high noise and vibration. Therefore, it is necessary to develop dual-cylinder fixed-speed models on the small-diameter A-series to reduce compressor noise and vibration in the system. However, due to the overall height limit, the cylinder needs to be as flat as possible and as low as possible. To ensure the minimum safe wall thickness between the suction port and the cylinder end face, the suction port size is small, which increases suction resistance and reduces compressor performance.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a compression assembly and a rotary compressor to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

The side wall of the cylinder has an intake port in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the crankshaft, and one end of the intake port is connected to the compression chamber.

[0009] The first intermediate plate is located on one side of the cylinder on the axis of the crankshaft and is fixed relative to the cylinder. The first intermediate plate is provided with a first boss on the axial end face of the crankshaft. The first boss is inserted into the compression chamber. In the compression chamber, the first boss and the piston are arranged sequentially along the axis of the crankshaft.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned compression assembly, there are two cylinders, which are located between the two cylinder heads and fixed relative to the cylinder heads. The first intermediate plate is sandwiched between the two cylinders and fixed relative to the cylinders. The first intermediate plate is provided with the first boss on each of the two axial end faces of the crankshaft. In the axial direction of the crankshaft, the first boss is inserted into the compression cavity on the corresponding side.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned compression assembly, it further includes a second intermediate plate. Two second intermediate plates are provided, which are located between the two cylinder heads. Each cylinder is sandwiched between the first intermediate plate and the second intermediate plate. A second boss is provided on the side of the second intermediate plate facing away from the cylinder head. The second boss is inserted into the compression chamber, and the piston is located between the first boss and the second boss.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution for the above-mentioned compression assembly, the cylinder and the second intermediate plate are connected by a third threaded fastener.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned compression assembly, a sealing layer is provided between the second intermediate plate and the cylinder head;

[0014] And / or, a sealing layer is provided between the second intermediate plate and the cylinder.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution for the above-mentioned compression assembly, the cylinder head and the cylinder are connected by a first threaded fastener.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution for the above-mentioned compression assembly, the cylinder is connected to the first intermediate plate via a second threaded fastener.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned compression assembly, a sealing layer is provided between the first intermediate plate and the cylinder.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned compression assembly, there are two first intermediate plates, the cylinder is sandwiched between the two first intermediate plates, the first bosses of the two first intermediate plates are inserted into the same compression chamber, and the piston is located between the two first bosses in the axial direction of the crankshaft.

[0019] A rotary compressor is also provided, including the compression assembly described above.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] This utility model provides a compression assembly, including a crankshaft and a piston. The piston is sleeved on the eccentric part of the crankshaft. It also includes a cylinder head, a cylinder, and a first intermediate plate, all sleeved on and rotatably connected to the crankshaft. Two cylinder heads are provided, spaced apart from and fixed relative to each other along the crankshaft axis. The cylinder is located between the two cylinder heads and has a compression chamber. The piston is placed within the compression chamber. An intake port is formed on the side wall of the cylinder along a direction perpendicular to the crankshaft axis, with one end of the intake port connected to the compression chamber. The first intermediate plate is located on one side of the cylinder along the crankshaft axis and is fixed relative to the cylinder. A first boss is provided on the axial end face of the first intermediate plate on the crankshaft. The first boss is inserted into the compression chamber, and within the compression chamber, the first boss and the piston are sequentially arranged along the crankshaft axis.

[0022] For example, two cylinder heads are provided, referred to as the first cylinder head and the second cylinder head respectively. The first cylinder head and the second cylinder head are fixed relative to each other and spaced apart along the axis of the crankshaft. A first intermediate plate has a first boss protruding along the axial direction of the crankshaft. The first boss is inserted into the compression chamber of the cylinder. In the compression chamber, the first boss and the piston are arranged along the axial direction of the crankshaft. Let the axial dimension of the compression chamber in the crankshaft be H, the axial dimension of the first boss in the crankshaft be H1, and the axial dimension of the piston in the crankshaft be H2, satisfying that H1 + H2 ≤ H. Thus, the axial dimension of the cylinder relative to the crankshaft is H. However, since the first boss is inserted into the compression chamber, the height of the area in the compression chamber used for piston movement is the difference between H and H1. The operating cylinder height is reduced to achieve the same displacement. The relative eccentricity of the rotor ψ = e / R increases, where e is the rotor eccentricity and R is the cylinder radius. The cylinder volume utilization rate K = ψ × (ψ - 2) increases. After the cylinder is disassembled, the height of a single cylinder is still H. The height of a single cylinder is higher than H - H1. In this way, the diameter φD of the intake port on the single cylinder can be made larger during processing, which can reduce intake resistance and improve compressor performance.

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a compression assembly, including a crankshaft 1 and a piston 2. The piston 2 is sleeved on the eccentric part of the crankshaft 1. It also includes a cylinder head 3, a cylinder 4, and a first intermediate plate 5, which are sleeved on the crankshaft 1 and rotatably connected to the crankshaft 1. There are two cylinder heads 3, which are spaced apart from and fixed relative to each other on the axis of the crankshaft 1. The cylinder 4 is located between the two cylinder heads 3 and has a compression chamber 41. The piston 2 is placed in the compression chamber 41. The side wall of the cylinder 4 has an intake port 42 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the crankshaft 1. One end of the intake port 42 is connected to the compression chamber 41. The first intermediate plate 5 is located on one side of the cylinder 4 on the axis of the crankshaft 1 and is fixed relative to the cylinder 4. The first intermediate plate 5 has a first boss 51 on the axial end face of the crankshaft 1. The first boss 51 is inserted into the compression chamber 41. In the compression chamber 41, the first boss 51 and the piston 2 are arranged sequentially along the axis of the crankshaft 1.

[0040] For example, two cylinder heads 3 are provided, referred to as the first cylinder head 3a and the second cylinder head 3b respectively. The first cylinder head 3a and the second cylinder head 3b are fixed relative to each other and spaced apart along the axis of the crankshaft 1. The first intermediate plate 5 has a first boss 51 protruding from the crankshaft 1 along its axial direction. The first boss 51 is inserted into the compression chamber 41 of the cylinder 4. In the compression chamber 41, the first boss 51 and the piston 2 are arranged along the axial direction of the crankshaft 1. Let the axial dimension of the compression chamber 41 in the crankshaft 1 be H, the axial dimension of the first boss 51 in the crankshaft 1 be H1, and the axial dimension of the piston 2 in the crankshaft 1 be H2, satisfying that H1 + H2 ≤ H. Thus, the axial dimension of cylinder 4 relative to crankshaft 1 is H. However, since the first boss 51 is inserted into the compression chamber 41, the height of the area in the compression chamber 41 used for piston 2 movement is the difference between H and H1. The height of cylinder 4 is reduced to achieve the same displacement. The relative eccentricity of the rotor ψ = e / R increases, where e is the rotor eccentricity and R is the radius of cylinder 4. The volume utilization rate of cylinder 4 K = ψ × (ψ - 2) increases. After cylinder 4 is disassembled, the height of a single cylinder 4 is still H. The height of a single cylinder 4 is higher than H - H1. In this way, the diameter φD of the intake port 42 on the single cylinder 4 can be made larger during processing, which can reduce intake resistance and improve compressor performance.

[0041] Optionally, there are two cylinders 4, which are located between two cylinder heads 3 and fixed relative to the cylinder heads 3. The first intermediate plate 5 is sandwiched between the two cylinders 4 and fixed relative to the cylinders 4.

The first cylinder 4a has a first compression chamber, and the second cylinder 4b has a second compression chamber. The first intermediate plate 5 has a first boss A protruding from one end face and a first boss B protruding from the other end face along the axial direction of the crankshaft 1. Along the axial direction of the crankshaft 1, the first cylinder head 3a, the first cylinder 4a, the first intermediate plate 5, the second cylinder 4b, and the second cylinder head 3b are arranged sequentially. The lower end face of the first cylinder head 3a, the first cylinder 4a, and the upper end face of the first intermediate plate 5 enclose a relatively closed first compression chamber, and the upper end face of the second end cover, the second cylinder 4b, and the lower end face of the first intermediate plate 5 enclose a relatively closed second compression chamber. The first boss A of the first intermediate plate 5 is inserted into the first compression chamber, and the first boss B is inserted into the second compression chamber.

[0043] Adaptively, two pistons 2 are fitted on the crankshaft 1, referred to as the first piston and the second piston respectively. The first piston and the second piston are arranged sequentially along the axis of the crankshaft 1, wherein the first piston is located in the first compression chamber and the second piston is located in the second compression chamber.

[0044] Optionally, the compression assembly also includes a second intermediate plate. Two second intermediate plates are provided, located between the two cylinder heads 3, and each cylinder 4 is sandwiched between the first intermediate plate 5 and the second intermediate plate. A second boss is provided on the side of the second intermediate plate facing away from the cylinder head 3. The second boss is inserted into the compression chamber 41, and the piston 2 is located between the first boss 51 and the second boss.

Along the axial direction of the crankshaft 1, the first cylinder head 3a, the second intermediate plate A, the first cylinder 4a, the first intermediate plate 5, the second cylinder 4b, the second intermediate plate B and the second cylinder head 3b are arranged in sequence. The lower end face of the second intermediate plate A, the first cylinder 4a and the upper end face of the first intermediate plate 5 enclose a relatively sealed first compression chamber. In the first compression chamber, the second boss, the first piston and the first boss A are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the crankshaft 1. The lower end face of the first intermediate plate 5, the second cylinder 4b and the second intermediate plate B enclose a relatively sealed second compression chamber. In the second compression chamber, the first boss B, the second piston and the second boss are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the crankshaft 1.

[0046] Optionally, cylinder 4 is connected to the second intermediate plate via a third threaded fastener. This arrangement facilitates assembly between cylinder 4 and the second intermediate plate.

[0049] Optionally, the cylinder 4 is connected to the first intermediate plate 5 via a second threaded fastener. This arrangement facilitates the assembly of the cylinder 4 and the first intermediate plate 5.

[0050] Optionally, a sealing layer is provided between the first intermediate plate 5 and the cylinder 4.

[0052] Optionally, there are two first intermediate plates 5, and the cylinder 4 is sandwiched between the two first intermediate plates 5. The first bosses 51 of the two first intermediate plates 5 are inserted into the same compression chamber 41.

[0053] For example, the compression assembly includes only one cylinder 4 and two first intermediate plates 5, which are respectively referred to as first intermediate plate A and first intermediate plate B. First intermediate plate A is sandwiched between the first cylinder head 3a and the cylinder 4. A first boss A is protruding on the side of the first intermediate plate A opposite to the first cylinder head 3a. The first boss A is inserted into the compression chamber 41.
