Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hermetic reciprocating compressor, preferably for use in a refrigeration system, having an axial electric motor as a drive source.

[0002] More specifically, the present invention relates to the bearing arrangements and rotor arrangements required for use and driving an axial motor in a hermetic reciprocating compressor in relation to the block and stator. The present invention also relates to a motor support structure for a reciprocating compressor, which supports the axial motor within the hermetic compressor housing. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a mounting structure for an extender element (including a lubricating oil pump) between the lower end of the rotating shaft of the axial motor and the rotor. [Background technology]

[0003] Conventionally, there are a wide range of reciprocating compressor structures widely used in refrigeration fluid compressors. Generally, the main purpose of a reciprocating compressor is to achieve alternate intake and discharge cycles of any working fluid. In the case of a refrigeration fluid compressor, the reciprocating compressor is equipped with a valve that operates in synchronization with the alternate intake and discharge cycles of the reciprocating compressor to allow the discharge fluid to reach a pressure higher than that of the intake fluid.

[0004] The functioning principle of refrigeration compressors based on reciprocating compressors is widely known in the art.

[0005] In principle, the driving force element capable of moving the movable piston consists of a radial flow driven electric motor, the structure of which is shown diagrammatically in prior art FIG.

[0006] In this regard, a radial flow driven electric motor is basically composed of a rotor and a stator, which are configured to exhibit electromagnetic interaction. There are known structures in which the rotor is circularly surrounded by the stator, and structures in which the stator is circularly surrounded by the rotor. In either structure, a rotating magnetic field between the rotor and the stator (see the exemplary arrows in Figure 1) is generated within the physical radial distance (space, clearance) between the rotor and the stator.

[0007] Of course, radially driven electric motors can easily be combined with reciprocating compressors.

[0008] On the other hand, with the recent technological advances in the motor field, axial flow driven motors have been optimized and are now more energy efficient than radial flow driven motors.The basic structure of an axial flow motor is shown in Figure 2, which shows the prior art.

[0009] Generally, an axial flow motor is basically composed of a rotor and a stator configured to exhibit electromagnetic interaction. Known structures include one in which the rotor is disposed above the stator, and another in which the stator is disposed above the rotor. In either structure, a rotating magnetic field (see the exemplary arrows in FIG. 2) between the rotor and the stator is generated within the physical gap (space, clearance) in the axial direction between the rotor and the stator.

[0010] U.S. Patent No. 2,797,857, published July 2, 1957, discloses a motor and compressor unit, and more particularly a hermetic motor-compressor unit for use in refrigeration systems. The motor is of the axial air gap type.

[0011] U.S. Patent Application Publication US2015 / 078532, published on July 4, 2015, discloses an apparatus for generating distributed x-rays, and in particular, an external hot cathode distributed x-ray apparatus in which a plurality of independent hot cathode electron transfer units are arranged via an external approach to generate x-rays and the focal position of an x-ray source device is changed in a predetermined sequence by cathode control or grid control, and a CT apparatus having the external hot cathode distributed x-ray apparatus is also disclosed.

[0012] U.S. Patent No. 4,401,419, published August 30, 1983, discloses a refrigerator motor-compressor having a housing containing a lubricant and a reciprocating compressor driven by a DC electric motor having a disk-shaped rotor and stator. The stator is positioned between the rotor's flux-blocking disks and carries an electronically commutated drive coil. Goniometric indicators detect the rotor's position and apply a signal to an AC generator that modulates a bridge circuit to provide the current flux to drive the rotor.

[0013] The problem with the prior art is that axial flow motors cannot be used in reciprocating compressors because they have a structure that is fundamentally different from that of radial flow motors. As a result, in order to provide an axial flow motor as a driving force element, the reciprocating compressor needs to undergo many technical adaptations (modifications, adjustments, improvements).

[0014] The prior art also has another problem. Unlike radial flow motors, which generate both a rotational force (torque) and a radial magnetic force on the rotor due to electromagnetic interaction between the stator and rotor, axial flow motors are subject to an axial magnetic attraction force between the rotor and stator in addition to the rotor's rotational magnetic force (torque). In other words, the rotating shaft connected to the rotor of an axial flow motor is prone to axial displacement in addition to rotational motion. Therefore, because of this additional vector of displacement force between the rotor and stator, axial flow motors are not applicable to reciprocating compressors. Consequently, the conventional configuration of a reciprocating compressor lacks mechanical elements that form an axial clearance for the shaft and rotor subset in the block and stator subset (a module consisting of the block and stator), nor does it have mechanical elements that can handle (suppress or prevent) axial movement of the rotating shaft during transportation and compressor operating conditions.

The first fixing structure 320 has the function of transmitting the movement of the rotor 300 to the rotating shaft 200.

[0074] 6, the space between the inner circumferential surface of the first through hole 120a and the first rotating shaft portion 200a receives a film of lubricating oil, forming a first hydrodynamic pressure radial bearing 500a. Similarly, the space between the inner circumferential surface of the second through hole 120b and the second rotating shaft portion 200b also receives a film of lubricating oil, forming a second hydrodynamic pressure radial bearing 500b. These bearings can prevent early wear of the rotating shaft 200, the first through hole 120a, and the second through hole 120b.

[0075] 6, in the second embodiment of the present invention, an axial bearing 600 is provided to stabilize the axial distance between the rotor 300 and the stator 400. Therefore, the axial bearing 600 is crankcase It can be attached between the upper portion 100a.

[0076] Optionally, an axial bearing 600 may be mounted between the bearing hub 700 and the rotor 300 .

The radial bearing can consist of any type of bearing known in the art, for example a hydrodynamic bearing (in this case a bearing with some supply of lubricant in a minimal gap between axially aligned parallel surfaces) or a hydrostatic bearing (in this case a bearing with some forced supply of lubricant injected under pressure between two axially aligned parallel surfaces), or it can consist of a bushing made of some low-friction or self-lubricating material.

[0078] According to the present invention, the structure of the stator 400 can be used to form a radial bearing for the rotating shaft 200, so that the problem of the rotating shaft 200 becoming eccentric or misaligned can be prevented.

[0079] 6 and 7, the radial bearing is defined by an annular structure 610 that is integrated with the stator 400 and arranged around the rotating shaft 200. More specifically, the annular structure 610 is arranged around a portion of the rotating shaft 200 (the portion (segment) where the inner radial flow passage 222a is arranged).

[0086] No. 2 Clearance F 2 specifies the displacement range of the shaft (for example, 0.1 to 0.5 mm). The clearance F1 is (F 2 = 0) This is to prevent the axis from becoming stuck or from experiencing a very large displacement, which can cause problems during transportation. No. 2 Clearance F 2 When formed, the clearance F2 without changing No. 1 Clearance F 1 (between the rotor and stator) can be adjusted.
