Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of gas buffer tanks, and in particular relates to a gas buffer tank. Background Technology
[0002] A compressor is a driven fluid machine that raises low-pressure gas to high-pressure gas; it is the heart of a refrigeration system. It draws in low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas through an intake pipe, compresses it using a piston driven by a motor, and then discharges high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas through an exhaust pipe, providing power for the refrigeration cycle. A buffer tank is mainly used in various systems to buffer pressure fluctuations, making the system operate more smoothly. The buffering performance of the buffer tank is mainly achieved by compressing the air inside the tank. A search revealed a patent with application number 202421201566.6, which discloses a gas buffer tank, comprising: a buffer tank, an intake pipe fixedly connected to the upper side of one side of the buffer tank, a second buffer plate disposed on the rear side of the intake pipe, connecting rods fixedly connected to both ends of the rear side of the second buffer plate, a sleeve fitted onto one end of each connecting rod, the sleeve being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the buffer tank, and a buffer spring fixedly connected inside the sleeve, the buffer spring being fixedly connected to the connecting rod.
[0003] However, in actual use, the applicant found that when buffering the gas entering the buffer tank, it does so by squeezing the first buffer plate with the gas to compress the buffer spring, and then squeezing the second buffer plate to compress the second spring. This buffering structure can only achieve two buffering operations, which is insufficient and may result in the inability to meet the gas buffering requirements. In view of this, we propose a gas buffer tank. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model relates to a gas buffer tank, comprising a buffer tank body, with a vertical column fixedly connected inside the buffer tank body. A support plate is fixedly installed on the column, and several support plates are evenly spaced from top to bottom on the column. A gas buffer bowl is elastically connected to the column above each support plate via a buffer spring. A gas guide bowl is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the buffer tank body below each support plate. A gas guide groove is opened at the bottom of the gas guide bowl. An air inlet pipe is fixedly installed through the side wall of the buffer tank body above the uppermost gas buffer bowl. A main exhaust pipe is fixedly installed through the side wall of the buffer tank body below the lowermost gas guide bowl. A secondary exhaust pipe is fixedly installed through the buffer tank body on one side of each gas guide bowl between the uppermost and lowermost gas guide bowls. Support legs are fixedly installed in a ring array on the arc-shaped outer wall of the lower part of the buffer tank body.
[0006] Preferably, the auxiliary exhaust pipe is located directly above the main exhaust pipe, and a second air valve is fitted and fixed onto the auxiliary exhaust pipe.
[0007] Preferably, the intake pipe and the main exhaust pipe are respectively located on both sides of the buffer tank, and a first air valve is fixedly fitted onto the main exhaust pipe.
[0008] Preferably, the gas buffer bowl is slidably sleeved on the column, and a gas guiding channel is provided between the top of the gas buffer bowl and the inner wall of the buffer tank.
[0009] Preferably, a limiting ring for limiting the position of the gas buffer bowl is fixedly provided on the column above each of the gas buffer bowls.
[0010] Preferably, the buffer spring is sleeved on the column, with the upper end of the buffer spring abutting against the bottom of the gas buffer bowl and the lower end of the buffer spring abutting against the top of the support plate below it.

[0012] This utility model discloses a gas buffer tank. By flexibly arranging multiple layers of gas buffer bowls and gas guide bowls inside the buffer tank, the gas entering the buffer tank can be buffered sequentially from top to bottom through the multiple layers of gas buffer bowls, thereby improving the gas buffering effect.

[0019] 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. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:
[0021] A gas buffer tank includes a buffer tank body 1. A column 4 is vertically fixedly connected inside the buffer tank body 1. Support plates 41 are fixedly mounted on the column 4, and several support plates 41 are evenly spaced from top to bottom. A gas buffer bowl 6 is elastically connected to the column 4 above each support plate 41 via a buffer spring 5. The gas buffer bowl 6 is slidably sleeved on the column 4. A limiting ring 42 for limiting the position of the gas buffer bowl 6 is fixedly mounted on the column 4 above each gas buffer bowl 6. The buffer spring 5 is sleeved on the column 4, with its upper end abutting the bottom of the gas buffer bowl 6 and its lower end abutting the top of the support plate 41 below it. Gas causes the gas buffer bowl 6 to move downwards along the column 4, compressing the buffer spring 5 and buffering the gas entering the buffer tank body 1. A gas guide channel 7 is provided between the top of the gas buffer bowl 6 and the inner wall of the buffer tank body 1, allowing the gas above the gas buffer bowl 6 to flow through the gas guide channel 7 to the gas buffer bowl 1. Below the buffer bowl 6, a gas guide bowl 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the buffer tank 1 below each support plate 41. A gas guide groove 81 is opened at the bottom of the gas guide bowl 8, through which the column 4 passes. Gas above the gas guide bowl 8 can flow through the gas guide groove 81 to the bottom of the gas guide bowl 8. An air inlet pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the buffer tank 1 above the uppermost gas buffer bowl 6, and an air inlet pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the buffer tank 1 below the lowermost gas guide bowl 8. The buffer tank 1 is fixed with a main exhaust pipe 12. The intake pipe 11 and the main exhaust pipe 12 are respectively set on both sides of the buffer tank 1. A first air valve 2 is fixedly connected to the main exhaust pipe 12. Support legs 14 are fixedly arranged in a ring array on the arc-shaped outer wall at the lower part of the buffer tank 1. By elastically setting multiple layers of gas buffer bowls 6 and gas guide bowls 8 inside the buffer tank 1, the gas entering the buffer tank 1 can be buffered by passing through multiple layers of gas buffer bowls 6 from top to bottom, which can improve the buffering effect of the gas.
[0022] Each gas guide bowl 8 between the top and bottom has a secondary exhaust pipe 13 fixedly installed on one side of the buffer tank 1. The secondary exhaust pipe 13 is located directly above the main exhaust pipe 12. A second air valve 3 is fixedly fitted onto the secondary exhaust pipe 13. When the first air valve 2 is closed and the required second air valve 3 is opened, the air below cannot flow, so the subsequent gas will not continue to flow downward and will be directly discharged from the secondary exhaust pipe 13 where the second air valve 3 is opened. This achieves the smooth collection of gas with the required buffering level. By setting multiple secondary exhaust pipes 13, the gas entering the buffer tank 1 can be buffered and discharged to different degrees according to the actual gas buffering requirements, making the gas buffering more flexible and the use effect better.
[0023] Working principle: In use, the gas to be buffered is introduced into the buffer tank 1 through the inlet pipe 11. The gas entering the buffer tank 1 compresses the uppermost gas buffer bowl 6, causing it to move downwards along the column 4 and compress the buffer spring 5, thus achieving primary buffering of the gas. After primary buffering, the gas flows downwards through the air guide channel 7 to the gas guide bowl 8, and then downwards along the gas guide bowl 8. It then moves from the air guide groove 81 to the second layer of gas buffer bowl 6, where it can be further buffered by the second layer of gas buffer. The gas buffer bowl 6 provides secondary buffering for the gas. Through the action of multiple gas buffer bowls 6, the gas can be buffered multiple times. Finally, the gas after multiple buffering can be discharged from the main exhaust pipe 12. During the gas buffering process, the first gas valve 2 can be closed and the second gas valve 3 on the corresponding auxiliary exhaust pipe 13 can be opened according to the different levels of gas buffering required. In this way, after the gas is buffered by the gas buffer bowl 6 above the auxiliary exhaust pipe 13, it can be discharged from the auxiliary exhaust pipe 13, thus achieving the different levels of gas buffering requirements.
