Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically relating to a liquid receiver connection structure, a compressor, and an air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] The receiver is an important component of a rotary compressor and also one of the main sources of noise. In particular, the tangential first-order mode of the receiver in the low-frequency range often coincides with the operating frequency or harmonic frequency of the compressor, causing resonance and generating noise. When the system piping design is unreasonable, this resonance can also cause system piping resonance, resulting in a significant increase in noise.
[0003] In existing technologies, noise generation is often reduced by increasing the rigidity of the connection between the reservoir and the housing, thereby increasing the fixed frequency of the reservoir.
[0004] Patent CN 119802912 A welds the liquid receiver directly to the compressor body via a rigid bracket, which can improve the connection rigidity of the liquid receiver, but it will reduce the connection damping and cannot attenuate the vibration transmitted from the compressor body, which is prone to high-frequency noise problems. Patent CN 118088448 A makes the rigid bracket more flexible, which reduces the vibration transmission of the body, but does not make full use of the shear deformation of the rubber pad to dissipate vibration energy.

A first assembly hole is formed in the connection area between the first welding plate and the intermediate plate, and a second assembly hole is formed in the connection area between the second welding plate and the intermediate plate.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself.

[0033] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0034] See details Figures 1 to 3 The diagram shown illustrates the connection between the compressor and the receiver in the prior art. For details, please refer to... Figure 1 As shown, the compressor and the receiver are connected as one unit by a rigid connecting bracket. To reduce the transmission of compressor vibration to the receiver, in the prior art, a rubber pad (such as...) is installed between the connecting bracket and the receiver's outer casing in the clamping section. Figure 2 As shown), this receiver connection structure can reduce the transmission of compressor vibration to the receiver via the connecting bracket to a certain extent, thereby reducing the tangential oscillation of the receiver during compressor operation (e.g., Figure 3 As shown in the figure, however, since the rubber pad is confined within the space between the connecting bracket and the reservoir housing, the shear deformation of the rubber pad cannot be fully utilized to dissipate vibration energy, resulting in poor vibration reduction effect of the compressor and system in the prior art.
[0035] Modal damping ratio is an important parameter describing the energy dissipation capacity of a structure under a specific vibration mode. It reflects the decay rate of the vibration energy of the structure under that mode and is directly related to the dynamic response and stability of the system. It is one of the key indicators in structural design and vibration control. Therefore, by making full use of the shear deformation of the shear material to reduce the damping ratio of the first-order tangential mode of the reservoir, the effect of vibration reduction and noise reduction can be achieved without increasing the structural stiffness. Based on the aforementioned objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution.
[0036] See also Figures 4 to 9 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a liquid reservoir connection structure is provided, including a first connecting bracket 1 for fixed connection with the housing of a compressor 100 and a second connecting bracket 2 for fixed connection with the housing of a liquid reservoir 200. The first connecting bracket 1 and the second connecting bracket 2 are detachably connected, and the first connecting bracket 1 and the second connecting bracket 2 are isolated from each other by a vibration damping member 5.
[0037] In this technical solution, the vibration damping component 5, which is located between the connecting bracket and the liquid reservoir shell in the traditional technology, is changed to be located between the first connecting bracket 1 and the second connecting bracket 2. This allows full use of the shear deformation of the vibration damping material, improves the first-order mode damping ratio of the liquid reservoir connection structure, increases the dissipation of vibration energy, and thus significantly reduces the tangential vibration of the liquid reservoir, thereby improving the vibration reduction and noise reduction effect during compressor operation.
[0038] Specifically, in a single-degree-of-freedom system there are |H(ω)| is the amplification factor of the system, representing the ratio of the amplitude X of the system response to the static displacement of the system under the action of a constant force F (generated by the vibration during the operation of the compressor). When ω / ω n When ≈1, that is, the excitation frequency ω is approximately equal to the undamped natural frequency ω of the system. n When the amplitude-frequency characteristic curve shows a peak, the damping ratio ξ is inversely proportional to the peak value. The larger ξ is, the smaller the peak value. The increase of the first-order damping ratio of the liquid storage connection structure in this utility model can reduce the tangential swing amplitude of the liquid storage, thereby achieving the design purpose of vibration reduction and noise reduction.
[0039] The aforementioned first connecting bracket 1 and second connecting bracket 2 are specifically brackets with a certain degree of elasticity. In some embodiments, they can be made of cast iron or carbon steel or a composite material of the two.
[0040] The aforementioned vibration damping component 5 can be made of nitrile rubber, or it can be made of other high-damping rubber materials of different thicknesses, such as polysulfide rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc.
[0041] Example 1:
[0042] See also Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the first connecting bracket 1 includes a first fixed connecting member 11 welded to the housing of the compressor 100 and a first docking plate 12 detachably assembled on the first fixed connecting member 11. The second connecting bracket 2 includes two second fixed connecting members 21 welded to the housing of the liquid reservoir 200 and a second docking plate 22 for docking with the first docking plate 12. The vibration damping member 5 is clamped between the first docking plate 12 and the second docking plate 22. In one feasible embodiment, the two second fixed connecting members 21 can be integrally formed (including welding) at both ends of the second docking plate 22.
[0043] In this technical solution, the aforementioned first fixed connector 11 and second fixed connector 21 are welded together with the outer shell of the compressor 100 and the outer shell of the liquid receiver 200, respectively, which can ensure a reliable and stable connection between the liquid receiver connection structure and the compressor 100 and the liquid receiver 200. At the same time, the vibration damping member 5 is clamped between the first docking plate 12 and the second docking plate 22, so that the rigid first docking plate 12 and the second docking plate 22 are connected by a flexible member, which can make full use of the shear deformation of the vibration damping member 5 to dissipate vibration energy.
[0044] See details Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the first fixing connector 11 includes an intermediate plate 111 and a first welding plate 112 and a second welding plate 113 located at both ends of the length of the intermediate plate 111. The first welding plate 112, the intermediate plate 111, and the second welding plate 113 form an isosceles trapezoidal structure. A first assembly hole 1111 is formed in the connection area between the first welding plate 112 and the intermediate plate 111, and a second assembly hole 1112 is formed in the connection area between the second welding plate 113 and the intermediate plate 111. Both ends of the first mating plate 12 pass through. At the first assembly hole 1111 and the second assembly hole 1112, the two ends of the second docking plate 22 are detachably connected to the two ends of the first docking plate 12, and the second docking plate 22 and the first docking plate 12 are respectively located on both sides of the intermediate plate 111. The vibration damping component 5 is a rubber plate (in a specific embodiment, it is a 1.5mm thick nitrile rubber pad). There are two rubber plates, one of which is sandwiched between the first docking plate 12 and the intermediate plate 111, and the other is sandwiched between the second docking plate 22 and the intermediate plate 111.
[0045] In this technical solution, the vibration damping component 5 is implemented using two rubber plates. These two rubber plates are respectively sandwiched between the first mating plate 12 and the intermediate plate 111, and between the intermediate plate 111 and the second mating plate 22. This effectively isolates the interconnected rigid components, allowing the rubber plates to undergo greater shear deformation. It is worth emphasizing that because the first mating plate 12 passes through the assembly holes at both ends of the intermediate plate 111 and forms a mating point with the second mating plate 22 on the other side of the intermediate plate 111, the simultaneous placement of two rubber plates between them completely surrounds and encloses the intermediate plate 111. This objectively eliminates rigid contact between the first mating plate 12, the first fixed connector 11, and the second mating plate 22. (See [reference]). Figure 5 As shown, the two rubber sheets are bonded together at both ends of the intermediate plate 111, thus forming flexible support for both ends of the intermediate plate 111 (support in the tangential swing direction of the reservoir 200). Furthermore, the aforementioned first mating plate 12 is bent at both ends of the intermediate plate 111, and this bend is supported on the side of the two bonded rubber sheets away from the intermediate plate 111. That is, objectively, the two rubber sheets form a surrounding arrangement of the intermediate plate 111.
[0046] In some embodiments, the two ends of the first docking plate 12, the two ends of the second docking plate 22, and the two second fixed connecting members 21 are respectively bolted together by bolt assembly 4. That is, the components in this technical solution are assembled into one unit by a splicing method, which can facilitate the assembly of the liquid reservoir connection structure with the compressor 100 and the liquid reservoir 200, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty.
[0047] In some embodiments, the two ends of the rubber sheet limit the bolt assembly 4. That is, the two ends of the rubber sheet are provided with corresponding through holes, and the bolt assembly 4 passes through the through holes to ensure that the positions of the two rubber sheets are reliable and stable.
[0048] Calculations show that the liquid storage connection structure of this utility model is compatible with... Figure 2 Compared to the traditional liquid reservoir connection structure, the compressor of this invention, by placing the vibration damping component 5 between the first connecting bracket 1 and the second connecting bracket 2, increases the modal damping ratio by 3 times. (See [reference]). Figure 9 As shown, the vibration acceleration of the reservoir is 400 mm / s², which is lower than that of the traditional structure. 2 Reduced to 150 mm / s according to this utility model 2 The amplitude of the reservoir was significantly reduced.
[0049] Example 2:
[0050] For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the first connecting bracket 1 includes a first fixed connecting member 11 welded to the outer casing of the compressor 100 and a connecting plate 31 fixedly connected to the first fixed connecting member 11. The second connecting bracket 2 includes two second fixed connecting members 21 welded to the outer casing of the liquid reservoir 200 and a connecting sleeve 32 fixedly connected (preferably welded) between the two second fixed connecting members 21. The connecting plate 31 passes through the connecting sleeve 32 and forms an annular gap between the connecting plate 31 and the connecting sleeve 32. The vibration damping member 5 is embedded in the annular gap. In a specific embodiment shown in the figure, the central through hole of the aforementioned connecting sleeve 32 is rectangular, which roughly matches the cross-section of the connecting plate 31. Thus, the aforementioned annular gap is specifically a rectangular annular gap.
[0051] In this technical solution, by setting a vibration damping component 5 in the annular gap, a surrounding arrangement is formed around the insertion mating area of the connecting sleeve 32 and the connecting plate 31. The rigid connecting plate 31 and the connecting sleeve 32 are isolated by the vibration damping component 5. The shear deformation of the shear material is fully utilized to reduce the damping ratio of the first tangential mode of the liquid reservoir and increase the dissipation of vibration energy. The vibration reduction and noise reduction effect can be achieved without increasing the structural stiffness.
[0052] In some embodiments, the vibration damping element 5 is injection molded into the annular gap. The injection molding of the vibration damping element 5 ensures that the vibration damping element 5 can be more reliably positioned between the connecting sleeve 32 and the connecting plate 31.
[0053] In some embodiments, the first fixed connector 11 includes an intermediate plate 111 and a first welding plate 112 and a second welding plate 113 located at both ends of the length of the intermediate plate 111. The first welding plate 112, the intermediate plate 111, and the second welding plate 113 form an isosceles trapezoidal structure. A clearance structure 1113 is formed in the area corresponding to the position of the connecting sleeve 32 on the intermediate plate 111. The clearance structure 1113 can be a clearance hole or a clearance groove. By setting the clearance structure 1113, part of the structure of the connecting sleeve 32 is located within the clearance structure 1113, thereby making the structure of the liquid reservoir connecting bracket more compact and reasonable.
[0054] The welding mentioned above can be done by electric welding or by welding on both sides.
[0055] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a compressor is also provided, including the above-described liquid receiver connection structure.

[0057] It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that, without conflict, the advantageous technical features of the above-mentioned methods can be freely combined and superimposed.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model.
