Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration equipment, and more specifically, to compressors. Background Technology
[0002] Scroll compressors, as efficient, low-noise, and compact fluid machinery, are widely used in air conditioning, refrigeration, heat pumps, and thermal management systems for new energy vehicles. Their core working components consist of a stationary scroll and a moving scroll, which mesh to form a continuously changing compression chamber, achieving gas compression. In actual operation, due to system control or environmental changes, the compressor may draw in liquid refrigerant or refrigeration oil, a phenomenon known as "liquid-bearing operation." Liquid is difficult to compress within the compression chamber; if it cannot be discharged in time, it will cause a sudden increase in pressure within the chamber, potentially leading to mechanical failures such as scroll tooth breakage and crankshaft seizure.
[0003] To prevent such malfunctions, existing technologies typically employ a "retracting mechanism" to temporarily disengage the moving scroll when liquid enters, creating a pressure relief channel. Among these, an eccentric swing sleeve structure is a common method for achieving this retraction. The moving scroll is mounted on the crankshaft's crankpin via an eccentric swing sleeve. When the pressure inside the compression chamber abnormally increases, the moving scroll drives the eccentric swing sleeve to rotate around the crankpin at a certain angle, temporarily separating the teeth of the moving and stationary scrolls, allowing the liquid to be discharged.
[0004] However, the retraction angle must be precisely controlled within a reasonable range. If the retraction angle is too small, the liquid cannot be effectively discharged; if the retraction angle is too large, the moving scroll cannot re-engage under centrifugal force, leading to compressor failure. Therefore, a stop structure must be installed to limit the maximum retraction angle of the eccentric swing sleeve.
[0005] Currently, the main stop solutions available in the industry are as follows: (1) Stop pin scheme A stop pin hole is made at the top of the crankshaft, a stop pin is pressed in, and a buffer ring is fitted onto the pin. The eccentric swing sleeve has protrusions or grooves; when the swing sleeve rotates to a certain angle, its protrusions contact the buffer ring on the stop pin, achieving a stop. The disadvantage of this solution is: The stop pins need to be designed, processed, and assembled separately, increasing the number of parts. The crankshaft requires additional machining of pin holes, which is a complex and costly process. The buffer ring only makes local contact, causing stress concentration, which can easily lead to fatigue damage with long-term use.
[0006] (2) Slotted crankshaft design
[0007] An annular groove is machined on the top of the crankshaft, and a stop ring is installed. When the eccentric swing sleeve rotates, its protruding part contacts the stop ring to achieve limiting. The disadvantage of this solution is: The crankshaft requires machining an annular groove, which weakens the structural strength of the crankshaft; The high precision required for groove machining increases manufacturing costs. The stop ring is not easily installed and is prone to falling off or shifting.
[0008] In summary, existing stop structures generally suffer from problems such as a large number of parts, complex manufacturing, high cost, and insufficient reliability. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a swing sleeve stop solution that is simple in structure, low in cost, highly reliable, and has good cushioning performance.
[0009] In view of this, the present invention provides a compressor. Utility Model Content

Figure 11 This is a top view of the eccentric swing sleeve retracting in the compressor of this utility model. Figure 12 for Figure 11 A cross-sectional view along the EE direction. (See attached image.) Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the compressor of this utility model includes: a crankshaft 1, a stationary scroll 8 and a moving scroll 7 meshing with each other, an eccentric swing sleeve 5, and a stop ring 4. The eccentric swing sleeve 5 drives the moving scroll bearing 6 of the moving scroll 7. The sleeve portion 52 of the eccentric swing sleeve 5 is fitted onto the top of the crankshaft 1, and the outer periphery of the sleeve portion 52 is provided with an inwardly recessed circumferential shoulder 53. The stop ring 4 is disposed on the circumferential shoulder 53. When the moving scroll 7 retracts, the top of the crankshaft 1 compresses the stop ring 4, and the stop ring 4 provides a biasing force to the crankshaft 1 to limit the retraction angle of the moving scroll 7. A main bearing 3 is fitted onto the crankshaft 1. The crankshaft 1, the eccentric swing sleeve 5, and the main bearing 3 together form an annular limiting space that clamps the stop ring 4. The purpose of this invention is to provide a scroll compressor swing sleeve stop and buffer structure with an extremely simple structure, few parts, and low manufacturing cost. This structure can precisely and stably control the maximum retraction angle of the moving scroll, ensuring consistent stop structure throughout the product's entire lifespan and effectively avoiding performance degradation and failure risks caused by wear. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for any additional drilling or grooving in critical stress areas of the crankshaft, thus completely preserving the original structural integrity and mechanical strength of the crankshaft. This results in a highly efficient and smooth buffer, significantly reducing impact noise and vibration, and comprehensively improving the compressor's NVH performance.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the outer periphery of the stop ring 4 fits against the inner wall of the circumferential shoulder 53, and a gap is formed between the stop ring 4 and the main bearing 3, but this is not a limitation.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the circumferential shoulder 53 has a circumferential width of L2, and the distance between the sleeve portion 52 and the crankshaft is L1, 10%≤L1 / (L1+L2)≤40%, but is not limited thereto.
[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the stop ring 4 is F, where 1.25L2≤F≤2L2, but is not limited thereto.
[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the height of the circumferential shoulder 53 is L3, the height of the sleeve portion 52 is L4, and L4 / (L3+L4)≥30%, but is not limited thereto.
[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the stop ring 4 is an elastic O-ring, but is not limited thereto.
[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the compression rate of the stop ring 4 ranges from 20% to 50%, but is not limited thereto.
[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the crankshaft 1 is provided with a pin hole, and the eccentric swing sleeve 5 also includes a balancing part 51 and a bushing 54. The bushing 54 is provided with a through hole 55, and the through hole 55 is pinned to the pin hole by an eccentric pin 2, but is not limited thereto.
[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the balancing part 51, the sleeve part 52, the circumferential shoulder 53, the bushing 54, and the through hole 55 of the eccentric swing sleeve 5 are all integrally formed, but this is not a limitation.
[0053] The compressor of this invention includes the following basic elements: crankshaft 1, stationary scroll 8, moving scroll 7, eccentric swing sleeve 5, and stop ring 4. The crankshaft 1 serves as the power input shaft and is driven to rotate by a motor. The stationary scroll 8 and moving scroll 7 mesh with each other to form a compression chamber. The eccentric swing sleeve 5 is a key transmission component connecting the crankshaft 1 and the moving scroll 7. It is connected to the moving scroll 7 via a moving scroll bearing 6 (such as a needle roller bearing). The eccentric swing sleeve 5 has a crucial "sleeving part 52," which directly sleeves onto the top of the crankshaft 1 through its inner hole. A recessed "circumferential shoulder 53" is machined into the outer periphery of the sleeve part 52. This shoulder is not a separate part but is part of the eccentric swing sleeve 5 body. The stop ring 4, as an independent elastic element, is directly placed and positioned on the circumferential shoulder 53.
[0054] The working principle and inventiveness of this utility model are embodied in the following dynamic process: When abnormal high pressure is generated in the compression chamber due to the entry of liquid, the moving scroll 7 is forced to retract under the action of liquid pressure. This retraction motion is transmitted to the eccentric swing sleeve 5 through the moving scroll bearing 6, forcing the eccentric swing sleeve 5 to rotate relative to the crankshaft 1 around the axis of the "eccentric pin 2" connecting it to the crankshaft 1 (i.e., "retraction" motion). As the retraction angle increases, the stop ring 4 installed on the circumferential shoulder 53 of the eccentric swing sleeve 5 also rotates around the center of the crankshaft 1. When the retraction reaches the preset maximum angle, the top outer edge of the crankshaft 1 begins to contact the stop ring 4. After contact occurs, the top of the crankshaft 1 continues to move, beginning to radially compress the stop ring 4. The stop ring 4 undergoes significant and controllable elastic deformation (such as compression and shear combined deformation). The compressed stop ring 4 applies a gradually increasing normal reaction force (i.e., bias force) to the crankshaft 1, pointing towards the center of the crankshaft 1. This reaction force generates a torque opposite to the direction of the eccentric pendulum sleeve 5's retraction. This torque constitutes a strong resistance to the further rotation of the eccentric pendulum sleeve 5, thus ultimately limiting the retraction angle of the moving volute 7 within the preset safe maximum value θmax. During this process, liquid leaks out through the increased gap between the volute teeth due to the retraction, causing a pressure drop. When the pressure inside the cavity returns to normal, the retraction force disappears, and the moving volute 7 and the eccentric pendulum sleeve 5 automatically reset under the action of centrifugal force and other restoring forces. The stop ring 4 also returns to its original shape due to its own elasticity.
[0055] The compressor also includes a main bearing 3, which is fitted onto the crankshaft 1 and provides radial support for the crankshaft 1. In a highly preferred embodiment, the top outer cylindrical surface of the crankshaft 1, the circumferential shoulder 53 of the eccentric swing sleeve 5, and the end face of the main bearing 3 near the top of the crankshaft 1 together naturally form an "annular limiting space" for accommodating and radially and axially restricting the stop ring 4. This design is a distinguishing feature between this invention and the prior art. It cleverly utilizes the geometric features of the inherent and essential components in the compressor core assembly to form a functional "mounting groove," thereby completely eliminating the need to machine a dedicated annular groove or stop pin hole on the crankshaft 1, achieving extreme structural simplification.
[0056] The outer peripheral wall of the stop ring 4 and the inner sidewall of the circumferential shoulder 53 are preferably in close contact or have a very small gap. This design ensures that the stop ring 4 is well positioned radially, preventing it from wobbling or shifting within the circumferential shoulder 53, and ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the contact position when the stop action occurs. Simultaneously, in the axial direction (parallel to the crankshaft 1 axis), a small "initial gap" or a "slight pre-contact" state can be designed between the stop ring 4 and the end face of the main bearing 3 in the non-stop state. This ensures that the triggering and limiting of the stop function are mainly accomplished by the radial contact-compression mechanism between the top of the crankshaft 1 and the stop ring 4, avoiding the uncertainty caused by the premature participation of the end face of the main bearing 3 in force transmission. The specific connection method between crankshaft 1 and eccentric swing sleeve 5 is as follows: a pin hole is provided on the top of crankshaft 1, a through hole 55 is provided on bushing 54 of eccentric swing sleeve 5, an eccentric pin 2 passes through the through hole 55 and is firmly pinned (such as interference fit) into the pin hole of crankshaft 1, thereby forming a hinged connection.
[0057] To optimize the buffering and limiting performance of this invention, based on in-depth mechanical analysis, simulation calculations, and experimental verification, the following preferred ranges for key dimensions were determined. These ranges are crucial for achieving the superior technical effects of this invention: (1) The radial clearance ratio is L1 / (L1+L2). Wherein, L1 is the radial distance (i.e., assembly clearance) between the inner wall of the sleeve 52 and the outer wall of the top of the crankshaft 1. L2 is the ring width (radial dimension) of the circumferential shoulder 53. The preferred range of the radial clearance ratio is: 10%≤L1 / (L1+L2)≤40%. This ratio determines the depth and manner in which the top of the crankshaft 1 "cuts" into the stop ring 4 when the stop is effective, directly affecting the deformation mode (compression or shear), effective force-bearing area, and shape of the force-displacement curve of the stop ring 4. If the ratio is too small, the buffer stiffness may be too large, resulting in a large impact force; if the ratio is too large, the limit may be inaccurate, and the stop ring 4 may easily undergo excessive and uncontrollable deformation. This range ensures that the buffering process is smooth and controllable, and can accurately limit the angle.
[0058] (2) The diameter ratio of the stop ring 4 is D1 / L2. Wherein, D1 is the diameter of the stop ring 4 in its free state (for an O-ring with a circular cross-section, it refers to its wire diameter). The preferred range for the diameter of the stop ring 4 is: 1.25≤D1 / L2≤2.0. This range ensures that the stop ring 4 has sufficient volume and material to provide the necessary elastic restoring force and energy absorption capacity. If D1 / L2 is too small (the stop ring 4 is too thin), the buffering force provided is insufficient, and it is prone to premature damage due to excessive stress. If D1 / L2 is too large (the stop ring 4 is too thick), it may lead to installation difficulties or unnecessary interference with the crankshaft 1 or main bearing 3 in the non-stop state, increasing frictional losses.
[0059] (3) The height ratio of the sleeve portion 52 is L4 / (L3+L4). Wherein, L3 is the axial height of the circumferential shoulder 53. L4 is the total axial height of the sleeve portion 52. The preferred range of the height ratio of the sleeve portion 52 is: L4 / (L3+L4)≥30%. This ratio ensures that the sleeve portion 52 has a sufficiently long axial guide surface to fit with the top of the crankshaft 1. This is crucial for ensuring the stability of the eccentric swing sleeve 5 during operation, reducing swaying, and ensuring the trajectory accuracy of the revolution and translation of the moving scroll 7, thereby indirectly improving the reliability and efficiency of the compressor.
[0060] (4) Material and Compression Ratio of the Stop Ring 4. The stop ring 4 is preferably a standard elastic O-ring. Its material should be an elastomer resistant to refrigerants, lubricating oils, and high temperatures, and possessing excellent fatigue resistance, such as hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR), fluororubber (FKM), or ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). The compression ratio of the stop ring 4 under operating conditions is the percentage of the deformation of its cross-section in the compression direction (free cross-section diameter - compressed cross-section diameter) to the free cross-section diameter when the moving scroll 7 retracts to its maximum design angle and is compressed by the crankshaft 1. The compression ratio range of the stop ring 4 is 20% ≤ compression ratio ≤ 50%. This compression ratio range has been carefully selected. A compression ratio below 20% may not provide sufficient buffering force, and the sealing and positioning effect between the stop ring 4 and the mating surface may be poor. A compression ratio above 50% will result in excessive stress on the stop ring 4, potentially leading to permanent deformation (plastic deformation) or accelerated stress relaxation and aging, affecting its service life and performance consistency. Compression ratios of 20% to 50% provide stable and reliable cushioning and angle limitation throughout the entire product lifespan.
[0061] The specific embodiments of this utility model include: See Figure 1 As shown, this diagram illustrates the core transmission and stop components of a scroll compressor utilizing this invention. The crankshaft 1 is driven by an electric motor (not shown) and rotates along its axis. The main bearing 3 is press-fitted or fixed within the compressor housing (not shown), providing radial support for the crankshaft 1. The stationary scroll 8 is also fixed to the housing. The moving scroll 7 and the stationary scroll 8 mesh with each other via their involute profiles, forming a series of crescent-shaped compression chambers.
[0062] The eccentric swing sleeve 5 is a key component for realizing the revolution and translation of the moving scroll 7. It connects to the pin hole at the top of the crankshaft 1 via a through hole 55 on the bushing 54 and an eccentric pin 2 passing through this hole, thus achieving a hinged connection. A moving scroll bearing 6 (e.g., a needle roller bearing) is mounted on the balancing part 51 of the eccentric swing sleeve 5, and the moving scroll 7 rests on the eccentric swing sleeve 5 via this bearing. When the crankshaft 1 rotates, the eccentric pin 2 drives the eccentric swing sleeve 5, which in turn drives the moving scroll 7 to revolve and translate around the center of the stationary scroll 8, completing the gas compression process.
[0063] The core improvement of this utility model is concentrated in the sleeve portion 52 of the eccentric swing sleeve 5. For example... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 12 As shown, an inwardly recessed circumferential shoulder 53 is machined on the inner cylindrical surface of the sleeve portion 52 by turning or grinding. This shoulder 53 has a defined circumferential width L2 and a circumferential shoulder height L3 (axial height).
[0064] A standard O-ring made of hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) serves as the stop ring 4 and is placed directly on this circumferential shoulder 53. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, after the crankshaft 1, main bearing 3, and eccentric swing sleeve 5 with stop ring 4 are assembled, the three naturally work together: The outer cylindrical surface at the top of crankshaft 1 forms the "inner wall" of the annular limiting space. The bottom surface and inner wall of the circumferential shoulder 53 of the eccentric swing sleeve 5 form the "bottom" and "outer wall" of the annular limiting space. The upper end face of the main bearing 3 forms the "top cover" or "axial limiting surface" of the annular limiting space. Thus, a complete and functional annular limiting space is formed, and the stop ring 4 is stably accommodated and confined within this space. In this embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the stop ring 4 and the inner wall of the circumferential shoulder 53 are in close contact (transition fit) to achieve radial positioning. A small initial gap S is designed between the top surface of the stop ring 4 and the end face of the main bearing 3 to ensure that the stopping function is dominated by the radial contact between the crankshaft 1 and the stop ring 4.
[0065] The compressor of this invention is in normal compression state ( Figure 7 , 8 9): During normal operation of the compressor, the moving scroll 7 maintains a set meshing state with the stationary scroll 8 under the constraints of gas force, centrifugal force, and mechanical structure. At this time, there is a radial clearance between the outer cylindrical surface of the crankshaft 1 and the stop ring 4, and the stop ring 4 is in a free state and does not participate in force transmission.
[0066] The compressor of this utility model is in a retracted and stopped state ( Figure 10 , 11 12): When a large amount of liquid refrigerant or oil enters the compression chamber, the pressure P_abnormal inside the chamber rises sharply. This pressure acts on the moving scroll 7, generating a retraction torque M_retreat that causes it to detach from the stationary scroll 8. This torque is transmitted to the eccentric swing sleeve 5 through the moving scroll bearing 6, forcing the eccentric swing sleeve 5 to rotate around the axis of the eccentric pin 2 along... Figure 3As indicated by the middle arrow, the crankshaft 1 rotates (retracts). With the increase of the retraction angle θ, the stop ring 4, fixed to the eccentric swing sleeve 5, also moves closer to the crankshaft 1. When the retraction angle reaches its design maximum value θmax, the top outer edge of the crankshaft 1 begins to contact the stop ring 4. Retraction continues, and the crankshaft 1 continuously radially compresses the stop ring 4. The stop ring 4 undergoes elastic deformation, its cross-section changing from a circle to an approximately elliptical shape, with material pushed to both sides and axially. During this process, the stop ring 4 applies a gradually increasing normal reaction force F_elastic to the crankshaft 1. This force generates a resisting torque M_resist, opposite in direction to the retraction torque M_retreat. When the resisting torque M_resist balances the retraction torque M_retreat, the eccentric swing sleeve 5 and the moving scroll 7 stop retracting, and the retraction angle is precisely limited to θmax. At this point, the compressed liquid rapidly leaks out through the increased gap between the scroll teeth, and the internal pressure decreases. Once the internal pressure returns to normal (reset state), the abnormal retraction torque acting on the moving scroll 7 disappears. At this time, the moving scroll 7 and the eccentric swing sleeve 5 are thrown back to their initial positions under the centrifugal force generated by rotating around the main shaft. The stop ring 4 loses compression and quickly returns to its original state relying on its own elastic restoring force. The compressor resumes normal compression operation.
[0067] Furthermore, the key dimension design embodiments of this utility model (see reference) Figure 9 , 12Based on the compressor model and design requirements, the target maximum retraction angle θmax is set. Using geometric relationships, the theoretical contact point position between the crankshaft and the swing sleeve required to achieve θmax is calculated, thus determining the required radial spacing L1 (considering tolerances) to be approximately 0.5mm. The design circumferential shoulder width L2 is approximately 2.0mm. Therefore, L1 / (L1+L2)=0.5 / (0.5+2.0)=20%, falling within the preferred range of 10%~40%. The free-state wire diameter F (diameter) of the stop ring 4 is selected. According to 1.25L2≤D1≤2L2, i.e. 2.5mm≤D1≤4.0mm, a standard O-ring with D1=3.0mm is selected in this example. Therefore, D1 / L2=3.0 / 2.0=1.5, falling within the preferred range. The design circumferential shoulder height L3 is 1.0mm, and the total height of the sleeve part L4 is 3.0mm. Therefore, L4 / (L3+L4) = 3.0 / (1.0+3.0) = 75%, which is greater than the preferred lower limit of 30%, ensuring the stability of the sleeve guide. Through dynamic simulation and tolerance analysis, it is confirmed that under extreme boundary conditions, the compression ratio of the stop ring 4 in the working state can be controlled at about 30%, which is within the optimal range of 20% to 50%, providing sufficient buffering force while ensuring a long service life. In summary, this utility model, through an extremely ingenious "integrated" design, seamlessly embeds the stop buffering function into the existing core transmission components of the compressor, utilizing its own geometric features to form a functional structure. Thus, with the lowest cost and the simplest structure, it achieves performance, reliability, and NVH performance superior to existing technologies. It represents a significant technological advancement in the field of scroll compressor stop technology.
[0068] In summary, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a compressor that can stop the retraction of the moving scroll by relying on the cooperation of the crankshaft and the eccentric swing sleeve, and to improve reliability by installing a stop ring between the eccentric swing sleeve and the crankshaft.
