Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of twin-cylinder compressor technology, specifically to a twin-cylinder rolling rotor compressor suction channel structure and compressor. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of modern refrigeration and air conditioning systems, the performance and structural design of the rotary compressor directly affect the overall energy efficiency, reliability, and installation adaptability of the unit. In the design of a twin-cylinder rotary compressor, the suction structure is one of the key factors influencing internal flow characteristics and overall performance. Currently, the industry mainly employs two design approaches: dual-suction structure and single-suction structure.

[0003] Dual-suction compressors typically employ two independent suction lines, each serving one of the compressor's two cylinders. In contrast, single-suction compressors in twin-cylinder rotary compressors offer advantages over dual-suction compressors. The single suction line for the receiver allows for a smaller cylinder size, facilitating installation in air conditioning systems and simplifying external piping connections. This also makes it easier to achieve a compact integration of the receiver and compressor body. However, single-suction compressors have a smaller flow area and higher flow resistance, requiring optimized design to reduce suction pressure loss.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this utility model, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0023] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, further elaborates on the suction channel structure and compressor of the present invention for a dual-cylinder rolling rotor compressor. It should be understood that the specific embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] This utility model provides a suction flow channel structure for a dual-cylinder rolling rotor compressor. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the suction channel structure of a dual-cylinder rolling rotor compressor according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the suction channel structure includes an upper cylinder 1, an intermediate plate 2, and a lower cylinder 3 arranged sequentially along the axial direction.

[0025] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the upper cylinder of a dual-cylinder rolling rotor compressor suction channel structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. The upper cylinder 1 includes an upper cylinder body 11 and a first channel H1 and a second channel H2 disposed on the upper cylinder body 11. The upper cylinder body 11 serves as the main structure of the upper cylinder 1, and an upper compression chamber C1 is formed inside the upper cylinder body 11. The upper compression chamber C1 is typically a cylindrical cavity, and its centerline is defined as the centerline of the upper cylinder body 11. Of course, a vane groove 13 is also provided on the upper cylinder body 11. One end of the vane groove 13 communicates with the upper compression chamber C1, and the other end extends outward along the radial direction of the upper cylinder body 11, which will not be described in detail here. One end of the first channel H1 forms an air intake port communicating with the outside, and the other end communicates with the upper compression chamber C1.

[0026] Figure 3The diagram shows the structure of the intermediate plate of the suction channel structure of a dual-cylinder rolling rotor compressor according to an embodiment of the present invention. The intermediate plate 2 is provided with a third channel H3 that extends through its thickness. The second channel H2 is located on one side of the vane groove 13, and the two ends of the second channel H2 are respectively connected to the first channel H1 and the third channel H3.

[0027] The lower cylinder 3 includes a lower cylinder body and a fourth channel H4 disposed in the lower cylinder body. The interior of the lower cylinder body forms a lower compression chamber C2. One end of the fourth channel H4 is connected to the third channel H3, and the other end is connected to the lower compression chamber C2.

[0028] In this invention, a first oblique cut 12 is provided on the side wall at the connection between the second channel H2 and the first channel H1, and a second oblique cut 21 is formed on the side wall at the connection between the third channel H3 and the fourth channel H4. In one embodiment of this invention, the suction channel structure of the dual-cylinder rolling rotor compressor is a single suction channel structure. This single suction channel structure includes a first and second channel of the lower cylinder, a third channel of the intermediate plate, and a fourth channel of the lower cylinder, all connected to each other. (See...) Figure 1 As shown by the dashed arrow, the cold air enters the suction chamber of the lower cylinder through the suction air passage from the liquid reservoir suction pipe. An oblique cut is added near the liquid reservoir at the connection between the second and first channels of the upper cylinder, and an oblique cut is added near the compression chamber of the lower cylinder in the third channel of the intermediate plate. This expands the suction air passage and optimizes the airflow path, reduces flow resistance and suction resistance, thereby improving suction efficiency.

[0029] The first oblique cut 12 of the upper cylinder 1 can be formed by machining a hole. The first oblique cut 12 can be planar. It is formed by oblique cutting with a planar tool. The first oblique cut 12 can also be arc-shaped (e.g., Figure 2 As shown in the figure, it can be obtained through a chamfering process. The chamfering involves tilting the surface at a certain angle. In this case, the size of the first oblique cut 12 is related to the diameter of the tool used; the diameter of the tool should be smaller than the diameter of the second channel H2. Preferably, the angle between the first oblique cut 12 and the end face of the upper cylinder 11 is θ. Figure 1 The following conditions must be met: 30°≤θ≤65°, such as the included angle θ being 30°, 45°, or 60°. In some embodiments, with the axis of the second channel as the center, the central angles corresponding to the two ends of the first oblique cut 12, i.e., the circumferential unfolding angle of the first oblique cut 12, are between 60° and 135°. Preferably, the first oblique cut 12 is located on the side of the top of the second channel away from the upper compression cavity C1.

[0030] The second oblique cut 21 of the intermediate plate 2 can be formed by machining or die casting. The included angle between the second oblique cut 21 and the end face of the intermediate plate 2 is β, see... Figure 2The following conditions must be met: 30°≤β≤65°, such as the included angle β being 30°, 45°, or 60°. In some embodiments, with the axis of the third channel H3 as the center, the central angles corresponding to the two ends of the second oblique cut 21 are between 60° and 135°, that is, the circumferential unfolding angle of the second oblique cut 21 is between 60° and 135°. Preferably, the second oblique cut 21 is disposed at the bottom end of the third channel on the side near the lower compression chamber C2.

[0031] In some embodiments, the fourth channel H4 is an oblique through-hole cut into the inner wall of the lower cylinder 3. The angle between the axis of the gas through the oblique through-hole and the end face of the lower cylinder is α, satisfying: 30°≤α≤65°. The angle between the second oblique cut 21 and the end face of the intermediate plate 2 is β, satisfying: α=β. That is, the fourth channel H4 is set parallel to the second oblique cut 21. At this time, the refrigerant flows directly into the oblique through-hole of the lower cylinder 3 through the third channel H3 of the intermediate plate 2, and finally flows into the suction chamber of the lower cylinder 3. The oblique through-hole of the fourth channel H4 can reduce the suction line to the shortest possible length, optimize the gas flow path, and reduce suction resistance.

[0032] This utility model also provides a compressor, which is a dual-cylinder rolling rotor compressor, including the above-mentioned suction channel structure. Of course, the compressor also includes an upper cylinder cover disposed on the side of the upper cylinder away from the middle plate, a lower cylinder cover disposed on the side of the lower cylinder away from the middle plate, and crankshaft and other components, which will not be described in detail here.

[0033] According to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation results, compared to a twin-cylinder compressor without the first and second oblique cuts, the compressor of this invention improves energy efficiency by 0.07%-0.417% under various test conditions. Meanwhile, the compressor's annual performance factor (APF) test shows an energy efficiency improvement of 0.35%. Furthermore, when the compressor of this invention is applied to an air conditioning system, the air conditioning system's annual performance factor (APF) also improves by 0.36%.

[0034] In summary, the dual-cylinder rolling rotor compressor of this utility model is equipped with a single suction flow channel structure. This single suction flow channel structure can reduce flow resistance, thereby reducing the suction resistance of the compressor, and thus improving the suction efficiency and overall energy efficiency of the compressor.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.

[0036] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
