Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on August 31, 2022, with application number "202211053598.1" and application title "Air Inlet Muffler, Compressor and Electrical Equipment", the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] This application belongs to the field of compressor technology, and more specifically, relates to an air inlet muffler, a compressor and an electrical equipment.

Background Art

[0003] A refrigerator is an essential household appliance in daily life, and people's requirements for its performance are also increasing. In addition to the important refrigeration capacity of the refrigerator, its comfort is also one of the important indicators. As an important parameter for measuring comfort, the noise value has also attracted much attention.

[0004] In related technologies, there are generally two types of internal pipe structures of the air inlet muffler of a compressor. The first is that the outlet and the inlet between the internal pipe structures are not connected to each other. In such a structure, the continuity of the air flow is poor, and the resistance of the air flow is large, so the air inlet efficiency is reduced, which in turn leads to a reduction in the compressor efficiency. The second is that the outlet and the inlet between the internal pipe structures are connected to each other. In such a structure, the continuity of the air flow is good and the resistance of the air flow is small, but the noise reduction performance is poor, so the noise of the compressor becomes large.

[0028] Referring to FIGS. 4, 5 and 9, the air intake muffler 100 provided by the present application will be described. The air intake muffler 100 includes a muffler cavity 101, a communication flow path 41, an air inlet pipe 20 and an air outlet pipe 30.

[0029] The muffler cavity 101 includes a first cavity 1011 and a second cavity 1012. The communication flow path 41 communicates the first cavity 1011 with the second cavity 1012. The air inlet pipe 20 is connected to the first cavity 1011, and the air outlet pipe 30 is connected to the second cavity 1012. Thus, the air flow can enter the first cavity 1011 from the air inlet pipe 20, enter the second cavity 1012 through the communication flow path 41, and flow out from the air outlet pipe 30.

[0030] The communication flow path 41 has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of the communication flow path 41 is a flow path inlet 411, and the outlet of the communication flow path 41 is a flow path outlet 412. The flow path inlet 411 enters the first cavity 1011 and communicates with the first cavity 1011. The flow path outlet 412 is connected to the second cavity 1012 and communicates with the second cavity 1012, thereby communicating the first cavity 1011 with the second cavity 1012.

[0031] The air inlet pipe 20 has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of the air inlet pipe 20 is the first inlet 211, and the outlet of the air inlet pipe 20 is the first outlet 212. The first outlet 212 enters the first cavity 1011 and communicates with the first cavity 1011. The first inlet 211 is located outside the first cavity 1011 to allow gas to enter the first cavity 1011 from the air inlet pipe 20.

[0032] The air outlet pipe 30 has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of the air outlet pipe 30 is the second inlet 311, and the outlet of the air outlet pipe 30 is the second outlet 312. The second inlet 311 enters the second cavity 1012 and communicates with the second cavity 1012. The second outlet 312 is located outside the second cavity 1012 to allow gas to flow out of the second cavity 1012 through the air outlet pipe 30.

[0033] The first outlet 212 is arranged opposite to the flow path inlet 411, thereby reducing the resistance of the air flow from the first outlet 212 to the flow path inlet 411 and making the air flow easier. The first outlet 212 and the flow path inlet 411 are arranged at an interval, and the noise reduction effect of the first cavity 1011 on the air flow can be improved.

[0034] The flow path outlet 412 is arranged opposite to the second inlet 311, thereby reducing the resistance of the air flow from the flow path outlet 412 to the second inlet 311 and making the air flow easier. The flow path outlet 412 and the second inlet 311 are arranged at an interval, and the noise reduction effect of the second cavity 1012 on the air flow can be improved.

[0035] With the above structure, the air flow can flow out from the air inlet pipe 20, through the communication flow path 41, and into the air outlet pipe 30. The air flow resistance is small, and the effects of sound absorption and noise reduction are high. In particular, the high-frequency aerodynamic noise can be reduced. When applied to a compressor, the air intake efficiency is high, and the impact on the compression efficiency of the compressor is small.

[0036] Regarding the air intake muffler 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application, compared with the prior art, in the air intake muffler 100 of the embodiments of the present application, the communication flow path 41 is arranged to communicate the first cavity 1011 and the second cavity 1012. The first outlet 212 of the air inlet pipe 20 is made to enter the first cavity 1011 and is arranged facing the flow path inlet 411 of the communication flow path 41, and the flow path outlet 412 of the communication flow path 41 is arranged facing the second inlet 311 of the air outlet pipe 30. By doing so, the resistance of the airflow from the air inlet pipe 20 to the air outlet pipe 30 through the communication flow path 41 is reduced, and the air intake efficiency is improved. At the same time, by arranging the first outlet 212 of the air inlet pipe 20 and the flow path inlet 411 at an interval, the first cavity 1011 can effectively silence the airflow from the air inlet pipe 20 to the communication flow path 41, and the noise can be reduced. Furthermore, by arranging the flow path outlet 412 of the communication flow path 41 and the second inlet 311 of the air outlet pipe 30 at an interval, the second cavity 1012 can effectively silence the airflow from the communication flow path 41 to the air outlet pipe 30, and the noise can be reduced. Thereby, the noise reduction performance of the air intake muffler 100 is improved, and thus both the air intake efficiency and the noise reduction performance can be achieved simultaneously.

[0037] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 9, the air intake muffler 100 includes a casing 10. The casing 10 has a cavity, and the cavity constitutes the muffler cavity 101. A partition wall 13 is provided in the casing 10, and the partition wall 13 divides the muffler cavity 101 into a first cavity 1011 and a second cavity 1012. An insertion pipe 40 is provided in the partition wall 13. The insertion pipe 40 communicates the first cavity 1011 and the second cavity 1012, and the inside of the insertion pipe 40 forms a communication flow path 41. The air inlet pipe 20 and the air outlet pipe 30 are respectively connected to the casing 10. Such an air intake muffler 100 has a simple structure and a small volume.

[0038] Note that two shells having cavities are used. An air inlet pipe 20 and an air outlet pipe 30 are respectively arranged in the two shells and are communicated by a pipeline. The two cavities respectively function as a first cavity 1011 and a second cavity 1012 of the muffler cavity 101, and the pipeline may function as a communication flow path 41.

[0039] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 4, 5 and 9, the first cavity 1011 is located below the second cavity 1012. The air intake muffler 100 further includes a first oil leakage flow path 131. The first oil leakage flow path 131 communicates the first cavity 1011 and the second cavity 1012. A second oil leakage flow path 122 is provided at the bottom of the first cavity 1011. Thereby, the oil droplets deposited in the second cavity 1012 from the airflow can flow from the first oil leakage flow path 131 into the first cavity 1011, merge with the oil droplets in the first cavity 1011, and flow out from the second oil leakage flow path 122.

[0040] In one embodiment, an oil leakage hole may be arranged in the partition wall 13 to form the above-mentioned first oil leakage flow path 131, and an oil leakage hole may be arranged at the bottom of the casing 10 to form the above-mentioned second oil leakage flow path 122. Note that when two shells having cavities are used, it will be understood that a pipe may be used to connect the two shells and the pipe may be used as the first oil leakage flow path 131.

[0041] In one embodiment, the diameter of the oil leakage hole is in the range of 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm. For example, the diameter of the oil leakage hole may be 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.2 mm, etc. Thereby, the oil droplets can effectively pass through the oil leakage hole and the sound absorption effect can be prevented from being affected.

[0042] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 2, 4, 5 and 8, the casing 10 includes a first shell 11 and a second shell 12. The first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are snap-fitted to each other. The partition wall 13 is disposed on the second shell 12. When the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are snap-fitted, the partition wall 13 abuts against the first shell 11 to partition the muffler cavity 101 into a first cavity 1011 and a second cavity 1012. The air inlet pipe 20 is connected to the first shell 11, the air outlet pipe 30 is connected to the first shell 11, and the insertion pipe 40 is provided on the partition wall 13. The air intake muffler 100 having such a structure is easy to process, manufacture and assemble. It will be understood that the partition wall 13 can also be disposed on the first shell 11.

[0043] In one embodiment, a positioning slot 111 is provided on the side surface of the first shell 11, and a positioning rib 121 is provided on the side surface of the second shell 12. When the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are connected, the positioning rib 121 of the second shell 12 is inserted into the positioning slot 111 of the first shell 11 to firmly connect the first shell 11 and the second shell 12. It will be understood that the first shell 11 can also be connected to the second shell 12 by planar joining.

[0044] Of course, a positioning rib 121 can be provided on the side surface of the first shell 11, and a positioning slot 111 can be provided on the side surface of the second shell 12. When the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are connected, the positioning rib 121 can be inserted into the positioning slot 111 to firmly connect the first shell 11 and the second shell 12.

[0045] In one embodiment, an adapter slot 112 is provided on the first shell 11. When the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are connected, one side of the partition wall 13 is inserted into the adapter slot 112 so that the partition wall 13 partitions the muffler cavity 101 into a first cavity 1011 and a second cavity 1012.

[0046] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 2, 4, and 7, the air intake muffler 100 includes a muffler duct 52. Muffler holes 521 are provided in the side wall of the muffler duct 52. The muffler duct 52 is provided between the flow path outlet 412 and the second inlet 311. By arranging the muffler duct 52, the flow from the flow path outlet 412 to the air outlet pipe 30 can be better guided, the resistance of the air flow can be reduced, and the air intake efficiency can be improved. Muffler holes 521 are provided on the side surface of the muffler duct 52 to improve the sound absorption effect, and in particular, the mechanical noise of low and medium frequencies can be effectively reduced.

[0047] In one embodiment, one end of the muffler duct 52 is connected to the flow path outlet 412, so that the air flow in the communication flow path 41 can easily enter the muffler duct 52, and the resistance of the air flow is reduced. The other end of the muffler duct 52 is arranged at a distance from the second inlet 311, and the performance of sound absorption and noise reduction can be improved.

[0048] In one embodiment, when the air intake muffler 100 includes the insertion pipe 40, one end of the muffler duct 52 is attached to the insertion pipe 40, which can facilitate the attachment and fixation of the muffler duct 52. It should be understood that the muffler duct 52 may also be connected to the inner wall of the casing 10 via a bracket.

[0049] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 2 and 4, an attachment slot 42 is provided at one end of the insertion pipe 40 connected to the second cavity 1012 so that the muffler duct 52 is positioned by the attachment slot 42. One end of the muffler duct 52 is attached to the attachment slot 42.

[0050] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 4, the distance between the other end of the muffler duct 52 and the second inlet 311 is in the range of 1 / 2 to 1 / 4 of the length of the second cavity 1012 along the axial direction of the muffler duct 52. That is, in the axial direction of the muffler duct 52, the distance between the other end of the muffler duct 52 and the second inlet 311 is in the range of 1 / 2 to 1 / 4 of the length of the second cavity 1012, so that a good sound absorption effect is ensured, and the resistance of the air flow entering from the muffler duct 52 into the air outlet pipe 30 becomes smaller.

[0051] In one embodiment, the distance between the other end of the muffler duct 52 and the second inlet 311 is 1 / 4 of the length of the second cavity 1012 along the axial direction of the muffler duct 52. That is, in the axial direction of the muffler duct 52, the distance between the other end of the muffler duct 52 and the second inlet 311 is 1 / 4 of the length of the second cavity 1012, so as to reduce the resistance of the air flow and ensure a good sound absorption effect.

[0052] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 2, 4, 7, and 9, a filter screen 51 is attached to the flow path outlet 412, which can effectively filter impurities in the air flow, especially oil droplets in the air flow.

[0053] In one embodiment, when the air intake muffler 100 includes the insertion pipe 40, the filter screen 51 can be attached to the insertion pipe 40 to facilitate the attachment and fixation of the filter screen 51.

[0054] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 2 and 4, an attachment slot 42 is provided at one end of the insertion pipe 40 connected to the second cavity 1012 so that the filter screen 51 is positioned by the attachment slot 42, and the filter screen 51 is attached to the attachment slot 42.

[0055] In one embodiment, when the air intake muffler 100 includes the insertion pipe 40, the muffler duct 52, and the filter screen 51, the filter screen 51 and the muffler duct 52 are attached to the insertion pipe 40, and the muffler duct 52 presses the filter screen 51 against the insertion pipe 40 to facilitate the fixing of the filter screen 51.

[0056] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 4 and 7, the axial direction of the flow path inlet 411, the axial direction of the flow path outlet 412, the axial direction of the first outlet 212, and the axial direction of the second inlet 311 are on the same plane. With such a structure, the flow path of the airflow in the muffler cavity 101 becomes shorter, the resistance of the airflow is reduced, and the air intake efficiency is improved.

[0057] In one embodiment, the communication flow path 41 is a linear flow path, which facilitates processing and manufacturing and can make the length of the communication flow path 41 shorter.

[0058] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the distance between the first outlet 212 and the flow path inlet 411 is in the range of 1 mm to 3 mm. For example, the distance between the first outlet 212 and the flow path inlet 411 can be 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.61 mm, 1.8 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.2 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.6 mm, 2.8 mm, 3.0 mm, etc. Thereby, the resistance when the airflow flows between the first outlet 212 and the flow path inlet 411 is reduced, and a good sound absorption and noise reduction effect is ensured.

[0059] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 2, 4, and 5, the first outlet 212 is located on one axial side of the air inlet pipe 20. That is, the first outlet 212 is arranged to transition and curve with respect to the air inlet pipe 20. The flow path inlet 411 is located on the side facing the air inlet pipe 20 of the communication flow path 41. That is, the flow path inlet 411 is arranged to transition and curve with respect to the communication flow path 41. Such a structure facilitates processing and manufacturing, and the oil droplets in the air flow collide with the curved portion of the air inlet pipe 20 and the curved portion of the communication flow path 41, so that the oil droplets in the air flow gather, precipitate, and reduce the oil droplet content in the air flow.

[0060] It should be noted that the air inlet pipe 20 can also be arranged as a straight pipe. That is, the first outlet 212 is arranged along the axial direction of the air inlet pipe 20, the flow path inlet 411 of the communication flow path 41 is curved toward the air inlet pipe 20, and the first outlet 212 of the air inlet pipe 20 can be arranged to face the flow path inlet 411 of the communication flow path 41 with a gap therebetween.

[0061] Of course, the communication flow path 41 can also be arranged as a straight pipe. That is, the flow path inlet 411 is arranged along the axial direction of the communication flow path 41, the air inlet pipe 20 extends to below the communication flow path 41, the first outlet 212 of the air inlet pipe 20 is curved toward the communication flow path 41, and the first outlet 212 of the air inlet pipe 20 can be arranged to face the flow path inlet 411 of the communication flow path 41 with a gap therebetween.

[0062] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 4, the second outlet 312 of the air outlet pipe 30 is located on one axial side of the air outlet pipe 30, which is easy to connect to the pump body of the compressor and reduces the occupied space of the air suction muffler 100.

[0063] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 9, a convex rib 32 is provided on one side of the air outlet pipe 30. The convex rib 32 is arranged around the second outlet 312 and is connected in cooperation with a position limiting slot on the pump body of the compressor to ensure the sealing performance of the connection.

[0064] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 1, 3 and 6, a positioning protrusion 33 is provided on one side of the air outlet pipe 30 and is positioned in cooperation with a notch on the pump body of the compressor to facilitate the installation and fixation of the air intake muffler 100.

[0065] The air intake muffler 100 of the embodiment of the present application has a small flow resistance of the air flow.
