Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of compressors, and in particular to low-pressure chamber rotary compressors and air conditioners. [Background technology]
[0002] In everyday production and daily life, compressors can be classified into piston compressors, rotary compressors, and scroll compressors based on their operating principles. Rotary compressors are widely used and developed in the refrigeration industry due to their high energy efficiency and mature processing technology. However, existing rotary compressors have many drawbacks in their structure. Their motors constantly operate in high-temperature environments, which impact their motor lifespan and energy efficiency. Furthermore, the main pump body of a conventional rotary compressor is enclosed in a high-pressure chamber that stores high-pressure refrigerant. It contains many components (bearings, cylinders, crankshafts, pistons, sliding vanes), and the thermal deformation parameters of the materials of each component vary greatly. During the compression of low-pressure refrigerant, the components in the high-pressure chamber heat up and expand, increasing the sealing gap. This causes high-pressure gas to pass through the gap and enter the low-pressure chamber with each compression cycle, resulting in poor refrigerant compression efficiency.

[0029] A low-pressure chamber rotary compressor according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 14.
[0030] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 14 , a low-pressure chamber rotary compressor according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 100, a motor assembly, and a pump assembly. The housing 100 includes a low-pressure chamber 110 filled with a low-pressure refrigerant. The housing 100 also includes a low-pressure intake member 120 for receiving the low-pressure refrigerant and a high-pressure exhaust member for discharging the high-pressure refrigerant. The low-pressure refrigerant enters the housing 100 from outside the housing 100 through the low-pressure intake member 120 and cools the pump inside the housing 100. The low-pressure refrigerant enters the pump and is compressed to become a high-pressure refrigerant. The high-pressure refrigerant is then discharged from the housing 100 through the high-pressure exhaust member. The pump is located within the low-pressure chamber 110. The motor assembly is located within the low-pressure chamber and includes a stator 231, a rotor 232, and upper and lower balance weights. The pump assembly is provided in the low-pressure chamber 110, and includes a crankshaft 210, a crankshaft casing 220, a cylinder 310, a piston 340, a sliding vane 330, and a bearing 320. The piston 340, the sliding vane 330, the cylinder 310, the bearing 320, and the crankshaft casing 220 are combined to form a compression chamber. The cylinder 310 is provided with a sliding vane groove, and the sliding vane 330 is provided in the sliding vane groove, and together with the piston 340, the sliding vane 330 divides the compression chamber into a low-pressure region and a high-pressure region. The crankshaft casing 220 is fitted onto the outside of the crankshaft 210. vinegar The stator 231 and the rotor 232 are mounted in a crankshaft casing 220. The crankshaft casing 220 is provided with a low-pressure intake port, and the pump assembly is provided with a cylinder intake hole and a high-pressure exhaust port, the position of the low-pressure intake port corresponds to the position of the low-pressure intake member 120, and the high-pressure exhaust port is connected to the high-pressure exhaust member, and the position of the low-pressure intake port corresponds to the position of the low-pressure intake member 120. The low-pressure refrigerant is pumped through the low-pressure intake port. MaterialThe low-pressure refrigerant in the housing 100 enters the pump through the low-pressure intake port 120 and cools the motor assembly in the pump. Specifically, the low-pressure refrigerant directly cools the stator 231 and rotor 232 through the low-pressure intake port, thereby ensuring the service life of the motor assembly. During the cooling process, the motor assembly heats and vaporizes the low-pressure refrigerant that is not fully vaporized so that all of the refrigerant is drawn into the pump assembly, thereby completely vaporizing the low-pressure refrigerant. This increases the temperature of the gaseous refrigerant before compression, increasing the cooling coefficient and maximizing the effective utilization of energy. The pump assembly includes a crankshaft 210, a crankshaft casing 220, a cylinder 310, a piston 340, a sliding vane 330, and a bearing 320. The crankshaft 210 and the piston 340 are located within the cylinder 310. R The cylinder 310, bearing 320 and sliding vane 330 are provided in the low pressure chamber 110. R The low-pressure chamber 110 is filled with a low-pressure refrigerant, and the low-pressure refrigerant can cool the cylinder 310, the bearing 320, and the sliding vane 330 in the low-pressure chamber 110. bearing The piston 320 and the sliding vane 330 are sufficiently cooled to minimize thermal expansion deformation. The piston 340 and the crankshaft 210 are installed in the cylinder 310, and the internal heat cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, resulting in large thermal expansion deformation. Therefore, the sealing between the cylinder 310 and the piston 340 can be effectively improved, thereby improving the refrigerant compression effect.
[0031] The low-pressure refrigerant passes through the low-pressure intake member 120 and enters the low-pressure chamber 110 in the housing 100. ofThe gaseous refrigerant mixes with some of the lubricating oil in the housing 100, and in order to make the most of the refrigerant compression space each time, it is necessary to separate as much oil mist as possible from the gaseous refrigerant before the gaseous refrigerant is sucked into the cylinder 310 and compressed. The pump assembly is provided with an oil separator 360, which can effectively separate the oil mist and the gaseous refrigerant, allowing the oil mist to settle and separate before being discharged into the oil pool, ensuring that both the lubricating oil and the refrigerant can be fully utilized.
[0032] In some embodiments, the pump assembly is further connected to an oil separator 360 for separating the lubricating oil and the refrigerant, the oil separator 360 including a chamber 361, several separation baffles for separating the oil and gas, an oil-gas separation inlet 364 provided in the chamber 361, and an oil-gas separation outlet 365 provided in the chamber 361. 365 and several oil drains located below chamber 361. Hole 3 66. The separation baffle is provided in the chamber 361. The oil / gas separation outlet 365 is connected to the intake port of the cylinder 310. The oil separator 360 includes the chamber 361, the separation baffle, the oil / gas separation intake port 364, the oil / gas separation outlet 365, and the oil drop. Hole 3 66. The oil-gas mixture enters the chamber 361 through the oil-gas separation inlet 364, and several separation baffles are installed in the chamber 361, which can block oil mist. Hole 3 66 is installed, and the oil mist settles after being blocked, and the oil falls off. Hole 3 The refrigerant flows out from 66 and into the oil pool. The oil-gas separation exhaust port 365 is connected to the intake port of the cylinder 310, and the gaseous refrigerant separated from the oil mist flows from the oil-gas separation exhaust port 365 into the intake port of the cylinder 310, and is finally sucked into the cylinder 310 and compressed.
[0033] Specifically, in some embodiments, the separation baffles include several first separation baffles 362 and several second separation baffles 363 arranged in the chamber 361, some of the first separation baffles 362 are arranged on the lower side of the chamber 361, some of the second separation baffles 363 are arranged on the upper side of the chamber 361, and the first separation baffles 362 and the second separation baffles 363 are arranged alternately in the chamber 361. The first separation baffles 362 are arranged on the upper side of the chamber 361, and the second separation baffles 363 are arranged on the lower side of the chamber 361, and the first separation baffles 362 and the second separation baffles 363 are arranged alternately up and down, thereby strengthening the blocking effect against oil mist and further improving the separation effect. Several first separation baffles 362 and several second separation baffles 363 are provided, but in actual manufacturing, the number of first separation baffles 362 and second separation baffles 363 may be adjusted as needed, and it can be understood that the greater the number of first separation baffles 362 and second separation baffles 363, the greater the blocking and separation effect on oil mist.
[0034] In some embodiments, several mounting buckles 367 are provided above the chamber 361, and the crankshaft casing 220 has mounting holes corresponding to the mounting buckles 367, so that the oil separator and the crankshaft casing 220 are fixed by engaging the mounting buckles 367 with the mounting holes. The cylinder 310 is fitted to the crankshaft casing 220. The oil separator 360 is covered on the outside of the cylinder 310, and the oil-gas separation outlet 365 of the oil separator 360 is connected to the intake port of the cylinder 310. Specifically, several mounting buckles 367 are provided in the chamber 361, and the crankshaft casing 220 has mounting holes corresponding to the mounting buckles 367, so that the oil separator and the crankshaft casing 220 are fixed by engaging the mounting buckles 367 with the mounting holes. In this way, the oil separator is fixed. Several mounting buckles 367 are provided, and the number of mounting holes corresponds to the number of mounting buckles 367. The number of mounting buckles 367 and mounting holes can be set to one, two, three or more according to actual installation needs. The more mounting buckles 367 and mounting holes there are, the more stable the connection between the oil separator and the crankshaft casing 220. In some other embodiments, mounting holes are provided in the chamber 361, and mounting buckles 367 are provided in the crankshaft casing 220. This allows the oil separator 360 and Crankshaft casing 220 can be assembled and fixed in the same way. Note that chamber 361 may be fixed to crankshaft casing 220 by other connection methods such as a screw connection, which is also within the scope of protection of the present invention. Furthermore, chamber 361 of oil separator 360 is annular, and the annular chamber 361 can cover cylinder 310, thereby increasing the travel distance of the oil-gas mixture in chamber 361 and further improving the separation effect.
[0035] In some embodiments, the pump assembly further includes a silencer end cover 350, which is attached to the bearing 320. The silencer end cover 350 communicates with the high-pressure exhaust port, and the silencer end cover 350, together with the bearing 320, form a high-pressure chamber 351. The silencer end cover 350 is provided with an exhaust chamber 352, which is provided with several partition plates 353, and a silencer notch 354 is formed between the partition plate 353 and the silencer end cover 350. The silencer end cover 350 is further provided with an end cover exhaust port for exhaust. The pump assembly is provided with the silencer end cover 350 for sealing, which is attached to the bearing 320. The silencer end cover 350 is provided with an exhaust chamber 352, which, together with the bearing 320, form a high-pressure chamber 351. The compressed high-pressure refrigerant flows into the high-pressure chamber 351 and into the exhaust chamber 352. The exhaust chamber 352 is provided with several partition plates 353, and sound-absorbing notches 354 are formed between the partition plates 353 and the silencing end cover 350. The partition plates 353 divide the exhaust chamber 352 into several different chambers. The high-pressure refrigerant flows through the sound-absorbing notches 354 between the different chambers and is finally discharged through the exhaust port of the end cover. The cross-sectional areas of the sound-absorbing notches 354 and the exhaust chamber 352 are different. The high-pressure refrigerant flows into the large-cross-sectional area exhaust chamber 352 through the small-cross-sectional area silencing notches 354, which effectively reduces the noise generated when the high-pressure refrigerant flows through the silencing end cover 350, achieving sound absorption and noise reduction. Several partition plates 353 may be provided, and several partition plates 353 may be provided in the exhaust chamber 352 to divide the exhaust chamber 352 into multiple chambers, thereby improving the sound deadening and noise reduction function.
[0036] In some embodiments, bearing 320 is disposed between cylinder 310 and silencer end cover 350, and bearing 320, together with cylinder 310, forms a compression chamber. Bearing 320, together with silencer end cover 350, forms a high-pressure chamber 351. Bearing 320 is provided with several deformed grooves 322 and an exhaust valve 321 for communicating the high-pressure chamber 351 with the compression chamber. Deformed grooves 322 are provided on the side of bearing 320 away from cylinder 310 so that a thin wall 323 is formed between bearing 320 and cylinder 310. To facilitate close contact between cylinder 310 and silencer end cover 350 and improve sealing, two surfaces of bearing 320 that come into contact with cylinder 310 and silencer end cover 350 are provided as polished surfaces. The bearing 320 is disposed between the cylinder 310 and the silencer end cover 350. One side of the bearing 320, together with the cylinder 310, forms a compression chamber, and the other side, together with the silencer end cover 350, forms a high-pressure chamber 351. The bearing 320 is provided with an exhaust valve 321 that connects the compression chamber with the high-pressure chamber 351. Low-pressure refrigerant flows into the compression chamber and is compressed to become high-pressure refrigerant. The high-pressure refrigerant passes through the exhaust valve 321 into the high-pressure chamber 351 and is finally discharged from the high-pressure chamber 351. The bearing 320 is provided with several deformation grooves 322, which are disposed on the side of the bearing 320 away from the cylinder 310. The formation of the deformation grooves 322 forms a thin wall 323 between the bearing 320 and the cylinder 310. When the high-pressure refrigerant flows into the high-pressure chamber 351, it applies pressure to the bearing 320 on the deformation groove 322 side, and the thin wall 323 is often deformed toward the lower pressure side when subjected to high pressure, i.e., the thin wall 323 of the bearing 320 is deformed under pressure from the high-pressure refrigerant and abuts against the cylinder 310 and the piston 340, thereby minimizing the fitting gap between the end faces of the bearing 320 and the piston 340 and improving the sealing effect of the bearing 320 against the cylinder 310 and the piston 340. The positions and number of the deformation groove 322 and the thin wall 323 may be set according to the actual sealing effect, and are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The seal member and the high-pressure copper pipe 136 are molded as a single unit. The exhaust fitting is provided with a ventilation groove 133 connected to the exhaust port 131. The seal member includes a seal head 135 and a connecting bolt 134, and the seal head 135, together with the connecting bolt 134, fixes the high-pressure copper pipe 136 to the exhaust fitting. The housing 100 is provided with the exhaust port 131, and the exhaust port 131 is provided with an exhaust joint 132 for connecting to an external exhaust pipe. The exhaust joint 132 is capable of discharging high-pressure refrigerant. An exhaust attachment part is provided on one side of the exhaust port 131, and a ventilation groove 133 is formed in the hollow part inside the exhaust attachment part. Shi The screw member includes a seal head 135 and a connecting bolt 134, and the connecting bolt 134, together with the seal head 135, sealably attaches the high-pressure copper pipe 136 to the exhaust fitting. The threaded connection facilitates assembly and is suitable for line assembly work. The high-pressure copper pipe 136 may be fixedly connected to the exhaust fitting by other connection means, such as welding. In some embodiments, the high-pressure copper pipe 136 is spirally wound and connected to the high-pressure exhaust port. The high-pressure copper pipe 136 is wound around the pump assembly to provide intercooling for the high-pressure refrigerant. The spirally wound high-pressure copper pipe 136 is wound around the low-pressure chamber 110. The spirally wound high-pressure copper pipe 136 buffers and resists bending fatigue, making the connection more stable. The high-pressure copper tube can act as an intercooler to intermediately cool the high-pressure refrigerant, not only playing the role of heat recovery, but also reducing the pressure of the external condenser, preheating the gas returning from the evaporator, raising the intake air temperature, and increasing the cooling coefficient.
