Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of compression equipment technology, and relates to a screw compressor, and more particularly to a double-sided asymmetric internal injection screw compressor rotor. Background Technology
[0002] Screw compressors include single-screw compressors and twin-screw compressors, with the twin-screw compressor comprising two rotors. As a widely used rotary compressor, the screw compressor belongs to the category of positive displacement compressors. Its operating characteristic is a wide flow range at relatively low pressures. Screw compressors play a crucial role in petrochemical production, commonly used in key processes such as natural gas gathering and transportation, fuel gas pressurization, refrigeration and compression (e.g., propane / butane), flare gas compression, and air compression. Furthermore, screw compressors are available in oil-free and oil-injected types, suitable for different discharge volumes and pressure conditions, respectively.
[0003] Screw compressors are not limited to the petrochemical industry; they play a vital role in various industrial processes requiring gas compression. Depending on the compressed medium, they can be categorized into oil-injected and oil-free types. Oil-injected screw compressors are typically used in medium to large-scale refrigeration systems, while oil-free screw compressors are often used in applications where media contamination is not a concern. Due to their compact structure, reliable operation, and high efficiency, screw compressors are widely used in air compression, refrigeration, and chemical processes. Their core performance lies in a pair of meshing male and female rotors.
[0004] Traditional screw rotor profiles are mostly symmetrical or unilaterally asymmetrical, resulting in problems such as a large leakage triangle and low area utilization coefficient, which limits further improvements in efficiency and performance. Furthermore, the compression process generates a large amount of heat, causing the gas temperature to rise. This not only reduces volumetric efficiency but may also lead to problems such as lubricant carbonization and rotor thermal deformation.
[0005] Existing technologies typically employ cooling by spraying liquid (oil or water) onto the casing. However, this method suffers from drawbacks such as cooling lag, uneven liquid distribution, and insufficient mixing with the working fluid, resulting in limited cooling effectiveness. While some technologies have proposed incorporating channels within the rotor, these are often not integrated with innovative rotor profile designs, and the placement of the spray points is often poor, failing to maximize both cooling efficiency and sealing / lubrication effects.
[0006] In view of this, there is an urgent need to design a new screw compressor in order to overcome at least some of the aforementioned defects of existing screw compressors. Utility Model Content
[0007] This invention provides a double-sided asymmetric internal injection screw compressor rotor, which can perform heat exchange (such as cooling) on the screw compressor rotor as needed to ensure stable operation of the screw compressor rotor.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, according to one aspect of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0009] A screw compressor rotor, the screw compressor rotor comprising a male rotor and a female rotor, the male rotor and the female rotor being able to cooperate with each other to work;
[0010] The male rotor includes a male rotor shaft and a plurality of male rotor tooth slots disposed around the male rotor shaft; the female rotor includes a female rotor shaft and a plurality of female rotor tooth slots disposed around the female rotor shaft.
[0011] The male rotor shaft is provided with a first heat exchange channel, which has a first channel inlet and a first channel outlet; the first channel inlet and the first channel outlet are located at the same end of the male rotor shaft, or the first channel inlet and the first channel outlet are located at different ends of the male rotor shaft.
[0012] The female rotor shaft is provided with a second heat exchange channel, the second heat exchange channel is provided with a second channel inlet and a second channel outlet; the second channel inlet and the second channel outlet are provided at the same end of the female rotor shaft, or the second channel inlet and the second channel outlet are provided at different ends of the female rotor shaft;
[0013] The first heat exchange channel is equipped with a first valve, and a first temperature sensor is installed inside the first heat exchange channel. The first temperature sensor is used to sense the temperature data of the first heat exchange channel.
[0014] The second heat exchange channel is equipped with a second valve; the second heat exchange channel is equipped with a second temperature sensor, which is used to sense the temperature data of the second heat exchange channel;
[0015] The first valve, the first temperature sensor, the second valve, and the second temperature sensor can be connected to a control circuit, and the control circuit, the first valve, the first temperature sensor, the second valve, and the second temperature sensor can be connected to a power module.
[0016] As one embodiment of this utility model, the male rotor and the female rotor have double asymmetric tooth profiles; that is, the tooth profile lines of the male rotor and the female rotor are asymmetric about their own tooth tip center lines (i.e., "single asymmetry"), and the profile lines of the male rotor and the female rotor are also different from each other and not mirror symmetric (i.e., "double asymmetry").
[0017] This design can significantly shorten the leakage line length during meshing and increase the inter-tooth area, thereby improving the volumetric efficiency and adiabatic efficiency of the compressor.
[0018] As one embodiment of this utility model, the male rotor and / or female rotor are provided with an integrated internal injection channel: at least one internal injection channel is provided axially at the axis of the male rotor and / or female rotor; the outlet of the internal injection channel is located on the working cavity side of the rotor tooth surface, and the position is located in any inter-tooth volume from the start of the compression process to the end of the compression process (i.e., before the exhaust begins).
[0019] As one embodiment of this utility model, the outlet of the internal injection channel is set at the stage when the compression reaches 30%-80% of the internal volume ratio. At this time, the gas temperature and pressure have risen significantly. Injecting coolant at this moment can most effectively absorb the heat of compression and suppress the temperature rise.
[0020] In one embodiment of this utility model, a third temperature sensor is provided at a set position of the male rotor tooth groove of the male rotor. The third temperature sensor is used to sense the temperature data of the working surface of the male rotor. The third temperature sensor is connected to the main control circuit and the power module respectively.
[0021] A fourth temperature sensor is provided at a set position on the female rotor tooth groove of the female rotor. The fourth temperature sensor is used to sense the temperature data of the working surface of the female rotor. The fourth temperature sensor is connected to the main control circuit and the power module respectively.
[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, the main control circuit includes a processor and a first comparator. The non-inverting input terminal of the first comparator is connected to the output terminal of the first temperature sensor, and the inverting input terminal of the first comparator is connected to the output terminal of the first signal generator or the output terminal of the third temperature sensor. The output terminal of the first comparator is connected to the input terminal of the processor. The first signal generator is used to output a first threshold voltage.

[0024] In one embodiment of this utility model, bearings are provided at both ends of the male rotor shaft and bearings are provided at both ends of the female rotor shaft.
[0025] In one embodiment of this utility model, the first valve and the second valve are solenoid valves or electric valves.
[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, the working surface of the male rotor tooth groove is provided with a first wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating, and the working surface of the female rotor tooth groove is provided with a second wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating.
[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, the tooth ratio of the female rotor to the male rotor can be 6:5.
[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, the gap between the male rotor and the female rotor is 0.05 to 0.09 mm.
[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The double-sided asymmetric internal injection screw compressor rotor proposed in this utility model can perform heat exchange (such as cooling) on the rotor of the screw compressor as needed, so as to ensure the stable operation of the screw compressor rotor.
[0030] Meanwhile, by combining the efficient double asymmetric tooth profile with the precise positioning of the internal spraying technology, this utility model achieves multiple technical effects such as shortening the leakage line, improving the area utilization coefficient, ensuring uniform and timely cooling, and enhancing sealing and lubrication.
[0031] Specifically, the beneficial effects of this utility model include:
[0032] High efficiency: The double asymmetric tooth profile reduces internal leakage paths and improves the area utilization coefficient, fundamentally enhancing the rotor's aerodynamic performance.
[0033] High-efficiency cooling: The internal injection channel directly introduces coolant into the cavity where the compression heat is most concentrated, achieving "targeted cooling". The cooling is timely, uniform and efficient, which can significantly reduce the exhaust temperature and improve volumetric efficiency.
[0034] Good sealing and lubrication: The liquid injected during the compression phase can effectively seal the gaps between rotors and between the rotor and the housing, while providing good lubrication for the meshing parts.
[0035] Compact structure: The liquid spraying function is integrated inside the rotor, eliminating the need for a complex multi-point spraying system on the casing and simplifying the overall structure.
[0036] Synergistic effect: The "double asymmetric profile" and "internal liquid injection" are not simply superimposed, but rather produce a synergistic effect. The high-efficiency profile reduces leakage, while the internal liquid injection further enhances this effect through liquid film sealing; at the same time, efficient cooling ensures that the rotor operates under better thermodynamic conditions, allowing the performance advantages of the profile to be fully utilized.
