Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compressor technology, and in particular to an oil separator and a compressor. Background Technology

[0002] Existing rotary compressors supply oil by rotating a crankshaft to drive oil pump blades or a spiral pump body, primarily relying on the high-speed rotation of the crankshaft to drive the flow of lubricating oil. However, this method results in a small oil pump pressure differential and poor self-priming capability, especially at low speeds or low oil levels, which can easily lead to insufficient oil supply. Linear compressors, on the other hand, drive the oil pump through machine vibration, but they also face the problems of difficult starting and poor self-priming capability.

[0003] For compressors operating in environments with variable installation postures and low gravity (such as automobiles, airplanes, high-speed trains, and aircraft), traditional oil pump methods (relying on gravity, centrifugal force, capillary force, etc.) cannot effectively guarantee the lubrication of moving parts and efficient oil sealing, thus affecting the compressor's service life and operating efficiency. In these scenarios, changes in the compressor's installation posture or gravitational acceleration can lead to unstable lubricant supply, affecting its normal operation.

[0004] Pumping oil using the pressure difference created by the compressor's own suction and discharge pressures can ensure reliable oil pumping even under varying installation positions and microgravity environments. However, while pressure difference pumping provides sufficient power and a large oil flow rate, an oil separator is needed to prevent excessive lubricating oil from entering the system, ensuring sufficient lubricating oil remains within the compressor housing. However, under conditions of constant gravity installation position changes and microgravity, existing oil separators are insufficient to effectively separate the lubricating oil, allowing some to enter the system with the compressed gas. This lubricating oil, once inside the refrigeration system, is difficult to return to the compressor quickly via the refrigerant, severely impacting the lubrication and operating efficiency of the compressor's moving parts. In these scenarios, changes in compressor installation position or gravitational acceleration, without efficient built-in oil separators, can lead to a large amount of lubricating oil entering the refrigeration system. The complex refrigeration system circuitry makes oil return difficult, reducing lubrication effectiveness and further increasing mechanical noise, severely affecting the compressor's normal operation. Simultaneously, the airflow pulsation noise from the compressor's exhaust mixed with lubricating oil significantly impacts user comfort, a pressing industry challenge that needs to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides an oil separation device and compressor to solve the problem of poor oil separation effect of existing oil separation devices under normal gravity and microgravity scenarios.

[0006] This utility model provides an oil separation device, including: an oil separation device body and a guide separator.

[0007] The oil separator body has an oil-gas separation structure, which includes a silencing expansion chamber, a first connecting channel, and an oil-gas separation chamber connected in sequence. A first exhaust channel is also formed within the oil separator body. The guide separator includes a guide separation pipe located within the oil-gas separation chamber. A gap is provided between the outer wall of the guide separation pipe and the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber. A second exhaust channel is formed within the guide separation pipe. The outlet end of the first connecting channel is located at the top of the oil-gas separation chamber, and the inlet end of the second exhaust channel is located in the lower middle part of the oil-gas separation chamber. The gap communicates with the second exhaust channel, and the second exhaust channel communicates with the first exhaust channel.

[0008] According to the oil separation device provided by this utility model, the included angle α between the axis of the first connecting channel and the axis of the oil-gas separation chamber is 60°≤α≤120°.

[0009] According to the oil separation device provided by this utility model, the guide separator further includes a spiral blade, which is disposed on the outer wall of the guide separation tube. The outer edge of the spiral blade is connected to the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber, so as to form a spiral separation channel in the oil-gas separation chamber through the spiral blade. The spiral separation channel is connected to the second exhaust channel.

[0010] According to the oil separation device provided by this utility model, the outer edge of the spiral blade is sealed to the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber.

[0011] According to the oil separation device provided by this utility model, multiple oil-gas separation structures are formed within the body of the oil separation device. The multiple oil-gas separation structures are connected in series or in parallel.

[0012] According to the oil separation device provided by this utility model, the oil-gas separation structure further includes an oil outlet channel, which is connected to the bottom of the oil-gas separation chamber.

[0013] Another aspect of this utility model provides a compressor, including: a housing and an oil separation device.

[0014] A sealed cavity is formed inside the housing, and the oil separation device is disposed inside the sealed cavity.

[0015] The compressor provided by this utility model further includes: a partition plate and an oil pump structure. The partition plate is located in the sealed cavity and divides the sealed cavity into a low-pressure cavity and a high-pressure cavity. The inlet end of the oil-gas separation structure is connected to the outlet port of the compressor. The second exhaust channel is connected to the outlet end of the high-pressure cavity. The inlet end of the oil pump structure is connected to the high-pressure cavity. The outlet end of the oil pump structure is connected to the moving part of the compressor.

[0016] The compressor provided by this utility model further includes: a sealing gasket, the sealing gasket being disposed on the end wall of the oil separator body near the high-pressure chamber, and the air inlet communicating with the silencer expansion chamber.

[0017] According to the compressor provided by this utility model, the compressor is a linear compressor, rotary compressor, scroll compressor, screw compressor, centrifugal compressor, or axial compressor.

[0018] The oil separation device and compressor provided by this utility model can separate oil droplets and gas by utilizing the density difference between tiny oil droplets and gas in the oil-gas mixture inside the compressor, preventing tiny lubricating oil droplets from entering the system with the compressed gas, and meeting the oil-gas separation requirements under normal gravity and microgravity scenarios. Specifically, by forming an oil-gas separation structure on the body of the oil separation device, the oil-gas mixture can be introduced into the oil-gas separation chamber through the first connecting channel using a silencer expansion chamber. Since the guide separation pipe of the guide separator is located inside the oil-gas separation chamber, there is a gap between the outer wall of the guide separation pipe and the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber. The outlet end of the first connecting channel is located at the top of the oil-gas separation chamber, and the inlet end of the second exhaust channel formed inside the guide separation pipe is located in the lower middle part of the oil-gas separation chamber. After the oil-gas mixture enters the oil-gas separation chamber, it can first flow from top to bottom through the gap, causing the oil droplets to gather at the bottom of the oil-gas separation chamber under their own gravity. Then, the gas enters the second exhaust channel and flows from bottom to top and is finally discharged through the first exhaust channel.

[0038] The following is combined Figures 1 to 11 This invention describes the oil separation device and compressor provided by this utility model.

[0039] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an oil separation device 100 provided in one embodiment of the present invention includes: an oil separation device body 110 and a guide separator 120.

[0040] The oil separator body 110 has an oil-gas separation structure 111, which includes a silencing expansion chamber 1111, a first connecting channel 1112, and an oil-gas separation chamber 1113 connected in sequence. A first exhaust channel 112 is also formed inside the oil separator body 110. The guide separator 120 includes a guide separation pipe 122, which is located inside the oil-gas separation chamber 1113. A gap is provided between the outer wall of the guide separation pipe 122 and the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113. A second exhaust channel 1221 is formed inside the guide separation pipe 122. The outlet end of the first connecting channel 1112 is located at the top of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113, and the inlet end of the second exhaust channel 1221 is located in the middle and lower part of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113. The gap is connected to the second exhaust channel, and the second exhaust channel 1221 is connected to the first exhaust channel 112.

[0041] The oil separation device 100 and compressor provided by this utility model can separate oil droplets and gas by utilizing the density difference between tiny oil droplets and gas in the oil-gas mixture inside the compressor, preventing tiny lubricating oil droplets from entering the system with the compressed gas, and meeting the oil-gas separation requirements under normal gravity and microgravity scenarios. Specifically, by forming an oil-gas separation structure 111 on the oil separator body 110, the oil-gas mixture can be introduced into the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 through the first connecting channel 1112 using the silencing expansion chamber 1111. Since the guide separation pipe 122 of the guide separator 120 is located inside the oil-gas separation chamber 1113, there is a gap between the outer wall of the guide separation pipe 122 and the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113. The outlet end of the first connecting channel 1112 is located at the top of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113, and the inlet end of the second exhaust channel 1221 formed inside the guide separation pipe 122 is located in the middle and lower part of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113. After the oil-gas mixture enters the oil-gas separation chamber 1113, it can first flow from top to bottom through the gap, so that the oil droplets gather at the bottom of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 under their own gravity. Then the gas enters the second exhaust channel 1221 and flows from bottom to top and is finally discharged through the first exhaust channel 112.

[0042] Specifically, the oil separation device 100 includes an oil separation device body 110 and a guide separator 120. The oil separation device body 110 is the basic structure of the entire device and is preferably made of metal. An oil-gas separation structure 111 can be machined onto the oil separation device body 110 using machine tools or other equipment. The oil-gas separation structure 111 includes a silencing expansion chamber 1111, a first connecting channel 1112, and an oil-gas separation chamber 1113 connected in sequence. The silencing expansion chamber 1111 is located at the air inlet end face of the oil separation device body 110 and is used to silence the oil-gas mixture (the silencing expansion chamber, through a special structural design, can effectively slow down the fluid velocity and reduce noise transmission). The first connecting channel 1112 connects the silencing expansion chamber 1111 and the oil-gas separation chamber 1113. By setting the axial direction of the first connecting channel 1112, the flow direction of the oil-gas mixture into the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 can be controlled. The oil-gas separation chamber 1113 provides space for gas-liquid separation. The guide separator 120 is used to guide the oil-gas mixture entering the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 and achieve oil-gas separation during the guiding process. The guide separator 120 includes a mounting part 121 and a guide separation pipe 122. The mounting part 121 is used to fix the guide separator 120 as a whole to the oil separation device body 110. The guide separation pipe 122 is located inside the oil-gas separation chamber 1113. A gap is provided between the outer wall of the guide separation pipe 122 and the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113. This gap can form a guide channel, allowing the oil-gas mixture to flow from top to bottom. It should be noted that the number of oil-gas separation structures 111 on the oil separator body 110 is at least one, that is, it can be either a single structure or multiple structures, depending on the spatial layout of the other necessary structures on the oil separator body 110 and the size of the installation space inside the compressor. For example, when the space occupied by the other necessary structures on the oil separator body 110 is large and / or the installation space inside the compressor is small, only a single oil-gas separation structure 111 can be provided on the oil separator body 110. Conversely, when the space occupied by the other necessary structures on the oil separator body 110 is small and / or the installation space inside the compressor is large, multiple oil-gas separation structures 111 can be provided on the oil separator body 110.

[0043] When the oil separator body 110 is provided with multiple oil-gas separation structures 111, the multiple oil-gas separation structures 111 can be connected in parallel to improve the oil-gas separation efficiency and increase the exhaust efficiency and exhaust volume. Alternatively, the multiple oil-gas separation structures 111 can also be connected in series, that is, the gas discharged from the upper oil-gas separation structure 111 is introduced into the lower oil-gas separation structure 111 for further oil-gas separation, so as to improve the separation effect of oil-gas separation.

[0044] The guide separation pipe 122 is located inside the oil-gas separation chamber 1113. The two can be arranged coaxially or non-coaxially according to actual needs (such as spatial layout factors), and there is no special limitation on this. For example, in this embodiment, the guide separation pipe 122 is located inside the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 and the two are arranged coaxially to form a uniformly distributed gap between the outer wall of the guide separation pipe 122 and the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113.

[0045] The mounting portion 121 of the guide separator 120 can be fixed to the oil separator body 110 by means of threaded fasteners or snap-fit ​​(such as interference fit), and there is no special limitation thereto. For example, in this embodiment, mounting holes are provided at corresponding positions of the guide separator 120 and the oil separator body 110, and the mounting portion 121 of the guide separator 120 is fixed to the oil separator body 110 by screws.

[0046] See Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the included angle α between the axis of the first connecting channel 1112 and the axis of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 is 60°≤α≤120°.

[0047] By setting the included angle α between the axis of the first connecting channel 1112 and the axis of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 to 60°≤α≤120°, the direction of the oil-gas mixture can be abruptly changed when it enters the oil-gas separation chamber 1113, and under the constraint of the outer wall of the guide separation pipe 122, it can form a fluid flowing from top to bottom, which facilitates the separation of oil and gas by utilizing the gravity difference between oil droplets and gas in the oil-gas mixture, thereby improving the oil-gas separation effect.

[0048] As an example, the included angle α between the axis of the first connecting channel 1112 and the axis of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 can be 60°, 80°, 90°, 100° or 120°, etc.

[0049] See Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the included angle α between the axis of the first connecting channel 1112 and the axis of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 is 90°.

[0050] By setting the included angle α between the axis of the first connecting channel 1112 and the axis of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 to 90°, the first connecting channel 1112 and the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 can be made easier to process and manufacture while ensuring the guiding effect on the oil-gas mixture.

[0051] See Figures 6 to 8As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the guide separator 120 further includes a spiral blade 123. The spiral blade 123 is disposed on the outer wall of the guide separation tube 122. The outer edge of the spiral blade 123 is connected to the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 so as to form a spiral separation channel in the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 through the spiral blade 123. The spiral separation channel is connected to the second exhaust channel 1221.

[0052] By setting a spiral blade 123 on the outer wall of the guide separation tube 122 and forming a spiral separation channel between the spiral blade 123 and the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113, the gas-liquid mixture entering the gap can form a spiral fluid under the action of the spiral separation channel. Due to the large density difference between oil droplets and gas in the oil-gas mixture, under the action of centrifugal force, the oil droplets will adhere to the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 and gradually flow to the bottom of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 after converging, thus achieving efficient oil-gas separation under microgravity scenarios.

[0053] It should be noted that the spiral blade 123 can be used as an independent component and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the guide separation tube 122 by welding or other means. Alternatively, the spiral blade 123 can be integrally set with the guide separation tube 122, and during processing, the guide separation tube 122 with the spiral blade 123 on the outer wall can be directly constructed.

[0054] The connection between the outer edge of the spiral blade 123 and the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 can be either a sealed connection or a non-sealed connection. A sealed connection avoids gaps between the outer edge of the spiral blade 123 and the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113, preventing these gaps from interfering with the flow of the oil-gas mixture and ensuring stable flow of the oil-gas mixture within the spiral separation channel. A non-sealed connection allows for small gaps between the outer edge of the spiral blade 123 and the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113. Without significantly affecting the flow of the oil-gas mixture, these gaps allow the collected oil droplets to pass through, enabling them to quickly accumulate at the bottom of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 without flowing down layer by layer through the spiral blade 123.

[0055] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the outer edge of the spiral blade 123 is sealed to the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113.

[0056] By setting the outer edge of the spiral blade 123 and the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 to be sealed, gaps between the outer edge of the spiral blade 123 and the inner wall of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 can be avoided, thus preventing gaps from interfering with the flow of the oil-gas mixture and ensuring stable flow of the oil-gas mixture in the spiral separation channel.

[0057] See Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of oil-gas separation structures 111 are formed in the body 110 of the oil separation device, and the plurality of oil-gas separation structures 111 are connected in series.

[0058] By setting multiple oil-gas separation structures 111 on the body 110 of the oil separator and connecting the multiple oil-gas separation structures 111 in series, the oil-gas separation effect can be improved. That is, the gas discharged from the upper oil-gas separation structure 111 is introduced into the lower oil-gas separation structure 111 for further oil-gas separation, so as to improve the separation effect of oil-gas separation.

[0059] As an example, in this embodiment, the oil separator body 110 is provided with two oil-gas separation structures 111 and two corresponding guide separators 120. Along the flow direction of the oil-gas mixture, a second connecting channel is provided between the upstream guide separator 120 and the oil separator body 110 (partially located in the mounting part 121 of the guide separator 120 and partially located in the oil separator body 110). The fluid separated by the upstream oil-gas separation structure 111 and the guide separator 120 will enter the second connecting channel and enter the silencing expansion chamber 1111 of the downstream oil-gas separation structure 111 for further oil-gas separation.

[0060] In some embodiments, a plurality of oil-gas separation structures 111 are formed within the body 110 of the oil separator. The plurality of oil-gas separation structures 111 are connected in parallel to each other to improve the oil-gas separation efficiency and increase the exhaust efficiency and exhaust volume.

[0061] Specifically, when multiple oil-gas separation structures 111 are connected in parallel, the oil-gas mixture enters simultaneously through the silencer expansion chambers 1111 of multiple oil-gas separation structures 111. After the oil-gas separation is completed, it can be discharged through multiple second exhaust channels 1221 into the first exhaust channel 112.

[0062] See Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the oil-gas separation structure 111 further includes an oil outlet channel 1114, which is connected to the bottom of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113.

[0063] By setting up the oil outlet channel 1114, the oil that has gathered at the bottom of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113 can be discharged to a set position (such as a set cavity inside the compressor housing 200) after the oil-gas separation is completed, thus avoiding excessive oil accumulation at the bottom of the oil-gas separation chamber 1113.

[0064] The compressor provided by this utility model is described below. The compressor described below can be referred to in correspondence with the oil separator 100 described above.

[0065] See Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the compressor provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 200 and an oil separator 100. A sealed cavity 210 is formed inside the housing 200, and the oil separator 100 is disposed inside the sealed cavity 210. The compressor provided by this utility model, by employing the oil separation device 100 as described in any of the preceding embodiments, can also separate oil droplets and gas by utilizing the density difference between tiny oil droplets and gas in the oil-gas mixture inside the compressor, preventing tiny lubricating oil droplets from entering the system along with the compressed gas, and meeting the oil-gas separation requirements under normal gravity and microgravity scenarios.

[0066] It should be noted that the compressor referred to in this embodiment of the present invention can specifically be a linear compressor (see...). Figure 9 As shown), rotary compressor (see...) Figure 10 As shown), scroll compressor (see) Figure 11 (as shown), screw compressor, centrifugal compressor or axial compressor.

[0067] See Figures 9 to 11 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the compressor further includes a partition plate 300 and an oil pump structure 400. The partition plate 300 is located inside the sealed cavity 210 and divides the sealed cavity 210 into a low-pressure cavity 211 and a high-pressure cavity 212. The inlet end of the oil-gas separation structure 111 is connected to the outlet port of the compressor. The second exhaust channel 1221 is connected to the outlet end of the high-pressure cavity 212. The inlet end of the oil pump structure 400 is connected to the high-pressure cavity 212, and the outlet end of the oil pump structure 400 is connected to the moving part of the compressor.

[0068] By setting a partition plate 300 and using a partition to divide the sealed cavity 210 inside the housing 200 into a low-pressure cavity 211 and a high-pressure cavity 212, the lubricating oil can enter the oil pump structure 400 under the driving action of the pressure difference, and enter the moving pair of the compressor (such as the fitting clearance between the crankshaft and the crankshaft support), and then return to the low-pressure cavity 211.

[0069] In addition, the pressure of the mixture formed by using differential pressure to drive the lubricating oil is relatively high, which increases the difficulty of oil-gas separation. Ordinary oil-gas separation devices cannot perform effective oil-gas separation. In this embodiment of the utility model, a guide separator 120 with spiral blades 123 is used, combined with multiple oil-gas separation structures 111 connected in series, which can adapt to compressors that use differential pressure to drive the lubricating oil and ensure their oil-gas separation effect.

[0070] See Figures 9 to 11As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the compressor further includes: a sealing gasket 500, the sealing gasket 500 is disposed on the end wall of the oil separator body 110 near the high pressure chamber 212, the sealing gasket 500 is provided with an air inlet, the air inlet is connected to the silencing expansion chamber 1111 of the oil-gas separation structure 111.

[0071] By setting the sealing gasket 500, the oil-gas mixture can be smoothly guided into the silencer expansion chamber 1111, preventing the oil-gas mixture from leaking into other parts of the compressor.

[0072] Specifically, the sealing gasket 500 can be disposed between the crankshaft support and the oil separator 100 and fixed by the crankshaft support and the oil separator 100.

[0073] When the oil separator body 110 has multiple oil-gas separation structures 111 connected in series, along the flow direction of the oil-gas mixture, the compressor's outlet is connected to the silencing expansion chamber 1111 of the upstream oil-gas separation structure 111, and the sealing gasket 500 seals the silencing expansion chamber 1111 of the downstream oil-gas separation structure 111, thereby achieving step-by-step separation of the oil-gas mixture. When the oil separator body 110 has multiple oil-gas separation structures 111 connected in parallel, the sealing gasket 500 has multiple corresponding air inlets, which are connected to the corresponding silencing expansion chambers 1111.

[0074] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional dimensions of the housing 200 can be set according to the size of its internal cavities. For example, the cross-sectional dimension of the housing 200 is larger at the location of the low-pressure cavity 211 where the motor is located, and smaller at the location of the high-pressure cavity 212 where the compression components are located. The oil pumping structure 400 uses the high-low pressure difference between the high-pressure cavity 211 and the high-pressure cavity 212 constructed by the partition plate 300 to achieve oil pumping.

[0075] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
