[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 7As shown, this utility model proposes an adapter assembly 100 for use on the magnetic bearing 200 of a magnetic levitation compressor. The adapter assembly 100 includes a lead pin holder 10 and a terminal block 20 connected to each other. The lead pin holder 10, as part of the adapter assembly 100, is mainly responsible for connecting to the housing of the magnetic bearing 200, providing basic support for subsequent wiring connections. It consists of a first housing 11 and a pin slot unit 12, wherein the first housing 11 includes a main body 111 and fixing plates 112 located at both ends of the main body 111. The main body 111 is the core load-bearing structure of the entire lead pin holder 10, providing installation space for the pin slot unit 12. The pin slot unit 12 is located inside the main body 111, with both ends extending out of the main body 111 to form a second terminal block 12a and a slot end 12b. The second terminal 12a is used to connect the wire 30. By connecting the wire 30 inside the magnetic bearing 200 here, preliminary connection with the external circuitry is achieved. The slot end 12b is the key part that mates with the terminal block 20, providing precise positioning and a stable connection environment for the insertion of the pin unit 22. The terminal block 20 is installed on the compressor housing and plays a crucial role in connecting the circuitry of the magnetic bearing 200 with the circuitry of other parts of the compressor. The terminal block 20 consists of a second housing 21 and a pin unit 22. The second housing 21 includes a base plate 211 and a protrusion 212 extending from the base plate 211 towards the lead pin seat 10. This structural design ensures the stability of the terminal block 20 itself and provides a reasonable installation position for the pin unit 22. The pin unit 22 is located inside the protrusion 212, with its two ends extending out from the base plate 211 and the protrusion 212, respectively, forming the first terminal 22a and the insertion end 22b. The first terminal 22a is used to connect the wire 30 to the internal wiring of the compressor; the insertion end 22b is inserted into the slot end 12b of the lead pin seat 10. Through this tight insertion connection, the electrical connection between the terminal 20 and the lead pin seat 10 is achieved, thereby ensuring the circuit conduction between the magnetic bearing 200 and the compressor.
[0032] Traditional solutions use connectors for connection. This method requires multiple structures, such as positioning mechanisms, pins, and positioning steps, to ensure accurate connector placement when installing the connector onto the pin header. Additionally, fastening structures like slots or screws are needed to secure the connector. These additional structures not only increase the number of parts in the pin header but also complicate its overall structure, leading to a significant increase in its size. A larger pin header occupies excessive space in the compact environment of a magnetic levitation compressor, affecting the layout and installation of other components, reducing the utilization of the compressor's internal space, and failing to meet the installation requirements within the compressor.
[0033] This application adopts a pin-insertion method, with the core components being the pin insertion unit 22 and the pin slot unit 12. During installation, the connection is completed simply by inserting the pin insertion unit 22 into the corresponding pin slot unit 12, eliminating the need for numerous complex positioning and fastening structures as in traditional solutions. This simple and direct connection method greatly simplifies the structure of the pin holder and reduces unnecessary parts. Therefore, the size of the pin holder in this solution can be significantly reduced compared to the original solution. The smaller size allows for more flexible and convenient installation of the pin holder inside the magnetic levitation compressor, better adapting to the limited and complex space environment inside the compressor, improving the utilization efficiency of the compressor's internal space, and providing more possibilities for the rational layout of other components, thus better meeting the installation requirements inside the compressor.
[0034] Furthermore, the pin unit 22 includes six pin terminals 221; the pin slot unit 12 includes six pin slot terminals 121 respectively adapted to the six pin terminals 221.
[0035] Specifically, the pin unit 22 consists of six pin terminals 221. These six pin terminals 221 are evenly distributed within the protrusion 212 of the terminal block 20, and each works independently yet collaboratively. The first terminal 22a of each pin terminal 221 is used to connect to the wires 30 led out from other parts of the compressor, introducing different electrical signals or currents into the terminal block 20. The slot unit 12 contains six slot terminals 121, which are adapted one-to-one with the six pin terminals 221 of the pin unit 22. These six slot terminals 121 are disposed within the body 111 of the lead pin holder 10, evenly arranged, with their corresponding slot ends 12b precisely aligned with the insertion ends 22b of the pin unit 22. The second terminal 12a of the slot terminals 121 is used to connect to the wires 30 inside the magnetic bearing 200, realizing the communication between the internal circuit of the magnetic bearing 200 and the external terminal block 20. The shape and size of the pin slot terminal 121 are highly matched with the insertion end 22b of the pin terminal 221, allowing for a tight fit when the pin terminal 221 is inserted, forming a stable connection structure. This tight fit not only ensures the stability of the electrical connection but also effectively prevents poor contact caused by vibration, shaking, or other factors, ensuring stable transmission of current or signals in the connection line.
[0036] In this embodiment, the precise matching design of the six pin terminals 221 and the six pin slot terminals 121 makes the adapter assembly 100 more reliable in achieving electrical connection. The tight fit between the pin terminals 221 and the pin slot terminals 121, as well as the distributed layout of the six connection points, can effectively distribute the load during current and signal transmission, reduce the pressure on individual connection points, further improve the stability and durability of the connection, and better meet the requirements of long-term and stable operation of the magnetic levitation compressor.
[0037] Furthermore, the six pin terminals 221 are arranged in two rows, with three in each row, and the pin terminals 221 in the two rows are staggered.
[0038] Specifically, the six pin terminals 221 are arranged in two rows of three, staggered from each other, which further optimizes the performance of the adapter assembly 100 and plays an important role in improving space utilization, enhancing connection stability, and ensuring electrical performance. Arranging the six pin terminals 221 in this way within the limited space of the terminal block 20 effectively avoids space waste caused by overly concentrated pins. Compared to a neat arrangement, this staggered layout makes the pin distribution more even and reasonable, making full use of the space within the protruding surface 212 of the terminal block 20. The three pins per row ensure that the number of pins meets the wiring requirements of the magnetic bearing 200, while the staggered arrangement of the two rows reduces the spacing between pins, making the entire pin unit 22 occupy a smaller area. This helps the terminal block 20 to be installed more compactly on the compressor housing, improving the utilization of the compressor's internal space. The staggered arrangement of the pin terminals 221 increases the stability when connected to the pin slot terminal 121. When the pins are inserted into the pin slot, the staggered arrangement of the two rows of pins forms a more stable support structure within the pin slot unit 12. This structure can better resist external forces such as vibration and impact generated during compressor operation, preventing the pins from shifting or loosening within the pin slots. For example, in the vibration environment generated by the high-speed operation of the compressor, the staggered pins can provide support from different angles, maintain tightness of the connection, avoid poor electrical contact caused by loose connection, ensure the reliability of power supply to the magnetic bearing 200, and thus ensure the stable operation of the magnetic levitation compressor.
[0039] From an electrical performance perspective, the staggered arrangement of the pins helps reduce electromagnetic interference. When current flows through the pins, a certain electromagnetic field is generated between adjacent pins. The staggered arrangement increases the distance between adjacent pins, reducing the mutual influence of electromagnetic fields and thus minimizing electromagnetic interference. This is particularly important for the precision electronic components and sensitive signal transmission in the magnetic bearing 200, ensuring the accuracy and stability of current and signal transmission, avoiding signal distortion or electrical faults caused by electromagnetic interference, and improving the electrical performance and operational reliability of the entire magnetic levitation compressor system.
[0040] Furthermore, the protruding platform 212 is cylindrical, and the adapter assembly 100 also includes a sealing ring sleeved on the outside of the protruding platform 212 and fitted to the base plate 211.
[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the protruding platform 212 is designed as a cylinder. From a structural mechanics perspective, a cylinder has good resistance to compression and deformation. During compressor operation, the terminal block 20 is subjected to various forces, such as vibration and pressure. The cylindrical protruding platform 212 can evenly distribute these external forces. Compared to other shapes, it can better maintain its structural integrity and avoid deformation caused by uneven force, thereby ensuring that the pin unit 22 is always in the correct position and maintains precise docking with the pin slot unit 12. From a manufacturing process perspective, the cylindrical shape is simple and regular, facilitating processing and production, effectively reducing production costs and improving production efficiency. Moreover, the cylindrical shape makes it easier to position and assemble during installation, reducing installation errors and improving the overall installation accuracy of the adapter assembly 100. The adapter assembly 100 is equipped with a sealing ring that fits around the protruding platform 212 and conforms to the base plate 211, mainly for sealing and protection. Inside the magnetic levitation compressor, there is usually high pressure, sometimes even reaching 3 MPa. The sealing ring forms an effective sealing barrier between the terminal 20 and the compressor housing, preventing leakage of internal high-pressure gas or liquid. When the terminal 20 is installed on the compressor housing, the sealing ring is compressed and deformed, tightly fitting the contact surfaces of the protrusion 212, the base plate 211, and the compressor housing, filling tiny gaps, preventing media leakage, and ensuring stable operation of the terminal 20 under high-pressure conditions.
[0042] Furthermore, mounting holes 2111 are provided at the four corners of the base plate 211. Bolts are passed through the mounting holes 2111 to fix the terminal block 20 to the compressor housing.
[0043] Specifically, mounting holes 2111 are provided at the four corners of the base plate 211, and bolts are used to connect it to the compressor housing through the mounting holes 2111, forming a stable four-point fixing structure. This structure can evenly distribute various external forces on the terminal 20 during operation, including vibrations and impacts generated during compressor operation, as well as electromagnetic forces generated by current transmission.
[0044] Furthermore, a receiving cavity 1111 is provided at the position of the main body 111 near the second terminal 12a, the pin groove terminal 121 extends into the receiving cavity 1111, and the receiving cavity 1111 is filled with potting compound 1112.
[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the design of providing a receiving cavity 1111 and filling it with potting compound 1112 near the second terminal 12a in the main body 111 of the first housing 11 of the lead pin holder 10 has a significant effect on improving the electrical performance, mechanical stability and protection capability of the adapter assembly 100.
[0046] The cavity 1111 is filled with potting compound 1112, which encapsulates the pin slot terminal 121, effectively enhancing its electrical insulation performance. During operation of the magnetic levitation compressor, current is transmitted through the pin slot terminal 121. The potting compound 1112 prevents leakage and short circuits between pin slot terminals 121 of different circuits. Due to the excellent electrical insulation properties of the potting compound 1112, it forms a reliable insulation barrier between each pin slot terminal 121. Even in complex environments with high voltage and strong electromagnetic interference, it ensures stable current transmission along a predetermined path, preventing abnormal operation of the magnetic bearing 200 due to electrical faults and guaranteeing the normal operation of the magnetic levitation compressor.
[0047] The potting compound 1112 fills the receiving cavity 1111 and, after curing, bonds tightly to the pin slot terminal 121, reinforcing and stabilizing it. When the compressor operates and generates vibrations and impacts, the potting compound 1112 buffers external forces, reducing the shaking and displacement of the pin slot terminal 121 and preventing damage or loosening due to mechanical stress. This mechanical stability not only ensures the reliability of the connection between the pin slot terminal 121 and the wire 30 but also maintains the precise fit between the pin slot unit 12 and the pin insertion unit 22, ensuring that the adapter assembly 100 maintains good electrical connection performance in complex mechanical environments. The potting compound 1112 also has moisture-proof, dust-proof, and corrosion-proof properties. Inside the magnetic levitation compressor, there may be humid gases, dust particles, and corrosive substances. The potting compound 1112 prevents these harmful substances from contacting the pin slot terminal 121, avoiding oxidation and corrosion, and extending the service life of the pin slot terminal 121. Meanwhile, the potting compound 1112 fills the cavity 1111, forming a closed protective space, which further enhances the protection level of the adapter 100, enabling it to adapt to harsher working environments and improving the reliability and stability of the entire magnetic levitation compressor system.
[0048] Furthermore, the portion of the pin terminal 221 that inserts into the pin slot terminal 121 has a tapered structure or a ball head structure; the pin slot terminal 121 has a snap ring flared structure adapted to the tapered structure or the ball head structure.
[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the snap ring flared structure of the pin slot terminal 121 is adapted to the conical or ball-shaped structure of the pin terminal 221, and the combination of the two can significantly improve the stability of the connection. When the pin terminal 221 is inserted, the snap ring flared structure will undergo a certain elastic deformation due to the insertion of the pin, tightly holding the pin and providing a large clamping force. This clamping force makes the connection between the pin and the pin slot tighter, and even when the magnetic levitation compressor experiences severe vibration or impact during operation, the pin is difficult to come out of the pin slot, effectively preventing the connection from loosening, ensuring the stability of the electrical connection, guaranteeing the reliability of the power supply to the magnetic bearing 200, and thus maintaining the stable operation of the magnetic levitation compressor.
[0050] Furthermore, the main body 111 and the fixing plate 112 are integrally formed; and / or, the base plate 211 and the protruding platform 212 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, the design of integrally forming the main body 111 and the fixing plate 112, as well as the design of integrally forming the base plate 211 and the protruding platform 212, is of key significance for improving the structural strength, manufacturability, and overall performance of the adapter assembly 100. The integral forming of the main body 111 and the fixing plate 112 not only improves the structural strength but also reduces the risk of dust, moisture, and other impurities entering due to assembly gaps, enhancing the protective performance of the lead pin holder 10. This is crucial for ensuring the stable electrical performance of the internal pin slot unit 12, avoiding problems such as short circuits and corrosion caused by impurities, and improving the overall performance and reliability of the adapter assembly 100. The integral forming of the base plate 211 and the protruding platform 212 optimizes the structure of the terminal block 20, making the entire component more compact and stable. This compact structural design facilitates reasonable layout within the limited space inside the compressor, improving space utilization. Meanwhile, the integrated structure reduces potential failure points, further improving the reliability and stability of the terminal block 20 in the magnetic levitation compressor system and ensuring the normal operation of the entire system.
[0051] Furthermore, both the first terminal 22a and the second terminal 12a are connected to the wire 30 by welding.
[0052] Specifically, welding creates a low-resistance connection between the wire 30 and the terminal. During the operation of the magnetic levitation compressor, current needs to be transmitted stably and efficiently through the adapter assembly 100. The welded connection reduces contact resistance, avoiding energy loss and overheating caused by excessive resistance. The low-resistance connection ensures stable current transmission, guaranteeing a stable power supply to the magnetic bearing 200 and maintaining its normal operation. The welded connection is a permanent bond with high mechanical strength. Under the complex mechanical environment of vibration and impact generated during compressor operation, the welded connection can firmly secure the wire 30 to the terminal.

The specific structure of the adapter component 100 is as described in the above embodiments.
