[0029] 1 and 2 , the present application provides a compressor, comprising:

[0030] A compressor body, wherein an air injection port is provided on the compressor body; and

[0031] The jet reservoir 20 is installed on the outside of the compressor body. The jet reservoir 20 includes an inner tube and a tank body 22. The two ends of the inner tube are respectively connected to the jet port and the tank body 22. The outer diameter of the compressor body is D1, and the shortest distance between the axis of the tank body 22 and the axis of the compressor body is D2. 0.05≤(2D2-D1) / D1≤0.22.

[0032] The compressor in the technical solution of the present application includes a compressor body and a jet reservoir 20, the compressor body is provided with a jet port, the jet reservoir 20 is installed on the outside of the compressor body, the jet reservoir 20 includes an inner tube and a tank body 22, the two ends of the inner tube are respectively connected to the jet port and the tank body 22, the outer diameter of the compressor body is D1, the shortest distance between the axis of the tank body 22 and the axis of the compressor body is D2, 0.05≤(2D2-D1) / D1≤0.22; if (2D2-D1) / D1≤0.05, it means that the tank body 22 is close to the outer wall of the compressor body, and when the compressor body vibrates, the compressor body will vibrate against the tank body. 22 produces a collision, thereby increasing the vibration of the jet reservoir 20. If (2D2-D1) / D1≥0.22, it means that the tank body 22 is far away from the axis of the compressor body, which makes the centrifugal force of the tank body 22 larger, making the tank body 22 prone to vibration; therefore, 0.05≤(2D2-D1) / D1≤0.22, so that the distance between the tank body 22 and the compressor body is controlled within a reasonable range, thereby reducing the probability of contact between the tank body 22 and the compressor body, and reducing the vibration transmission caused by the movement of the compressor body, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the tank body 22, reducing the noise generated by the compressor, and thus improving the service life of the equipment and the user experience.

[0033] In this embodiment, the compressor body includes a shell 10 and a mounting bracket 23. The tank body 22 is mounted on the compressor body through the mounting bracket 23. The distance H between the mounting bracket 23 and the upper end surface of the shell 10 is 20mm≤H≤50mm. On the basis of the first straight pipe section 211 being installed on the jet port, the mounting bracket 23 is additionally provided to further increase the installation strength of the tank body 22, thereby making the jet liquid reservoir 20 more stably mounted on the compressor body.

[0034] In this embodiment, the tank body 22 is cylindrical and has a long length. On the one hand, this configuration makes the diameter of the tank body 22 smaller, which is convenient for installation and fixation; on the other hand, if the diameter of the tank body 22 is smaller, the radial dimension of the compressor is reduced, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the compressor; at the same time, the center of gravity of the compressor body is shifted toward the direction close to the axis of the compressor body, thereby improving the stability of the compressor.

[0035] It can be understood that if H≤20mm, the mounting bracket 23 is too close to the upper end of the jet reservoir 20, which makes the middle part of the jet reservoir 20 susceptible to vibration, and when H≥50mm, the mounting bracket 23 is too close to the lower end of the jet reservoir 20, which makes the upper end of the jet reservoir 20 susceptible to the vibration of the compressor body. Therefore, by keeping it within the reasonable range of 20mm≤H≤50mm, the stability of the tank body 22 is increased, the vibration amplitude of the tank body 22 is reduced, and the vibration amplitude and noise of the tank body 22 are reduced, thereby improving the stability and service life of the compressor and improving the user experience.

[0036] Of course, one or more mounting brackets 23 can be provided. Multiple mounting brackets 23 can not only be used to install and fix the tank body 22 , but also can be used to install and fix the first straight pipe section 211 and / or the second straight pipe section 212 .

[0037] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 23 is fixed to the housing 10 by screws. The screws have low processing requirements, simple structure, easy assembly and disassembly, and low price. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting bracket 23 can also be fixed to the housing 10 by welding.

[0038] Generally, the compressor body includes a shell 10, rollers, a cylinder, a crankshaft and a motor. The cylinder and the motor are both installed in the shell 10. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the crankshaft in a transmission manner. The rollers are fixed to the outer wall of the crankshaft. The motor drives the crankshaft and the rollers to rotate to compress the refrigerant in the cylinder.

[0039] Specifically, the bearing includes an upper bearing and a lower bearing, and the upper bearing and the lower bearing are respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the cylinder, and the jet port is provided on at least one of the upper bearing, the lower bearing and the cylinder, so that the jet reservoir 20 is connected with the compression chamber, wherein the crankshaft includes a main shaft portion, an eccentric portion and a secondary shaft portion, the main shaft portion is sealed and fixedly connected to the inner ring of the upper bearing, the secondary shaft portion is sealed and fixedly connected to the inner ring of the lower bearing, the eccentric portion is fixedly connected to the roller, the eccentric portion drives the roller to rotate eccentrically, and the outer diameter of the roller contacts the inner diameter of the cylinder, and the refrigerant in the low-pressure chamber is compressed into high pressure through volume changes.

[0040] In this embodiment, the offset direction of the jet reservoir 20 is the movement direction of the roller. In this way, the anti-rotation ability of the jet reservoir 20 is enhanced, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the jet reservoir 20, thereby reducing the noise generated by the jet reservoir 20, improving the user experience, and also increasing the service life of the jet reservoir 20.

[0041] Furthermore, the compressor body also includes a vane, and a vane groove is provided on the upper bearing or the lower bearing. The vane is elastically connected to the vane groove through a spring, and the vane groove abuts the outer diameter of the roller. When the crankshaft rotates eccentrically, one end of the vane will abut the outer peripheral surface of the roller, and the vane will move back and forth under the action of the spring, thereby separating the high-pressure chamber and the low-pressure chamber to prevent refrigerant leakage in the high and low-pressure chambers.

[0042] It should be noted that only one cylinder can be provided, and of course multiple cylinders can be provided. When multiple cylinders are provided, multiple cylinders can be arranged side by side, and one cylinder corresponds to a motor. In this way, multiple cylinders can be compressed separately, and the capacity between multiple cylinders can be set by themselves and does not need to be the same. At the same time, the exhaust ports of multiple cylinders can be converged together, or they can be connected to the condenser separately.

[0043] Of course, in another embodiment, multiple cylinders are stacked up and down, so that one crankshaft can pass through multiple cylinders at the same time, and then one motor can drive multiple cylinders to perform compression processing at the same time. It should be noted that the capacity of the multiple cylinders at this time does not need to be the same, and can be set according to needs. Therefore, through the technical solution of one crankshaft passing through multiple cylinders at the same time, the internal structure of the compressor is reduced, the number of parts is reduced, and the production cost of the compressor is reduced.

[0044] Furthermore, the compressor body also includes a partition. When there are multiple cylinders, two adjacent cylinders are separated by a partition. By setting the partition, the relative side walls between the two adjacent cylinders are eliminated and replaced by the partition, thereby reducing the gap between the cylinders and reducing the size of the compressor. At the same time, when multiple cylinders are stacked up and down, the upper bearings and lower bearings relative to the two adjacent cylinders can be replaced by the partition, thereby reducing the number of compressor parts and reducing the size of the compressor, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the compressor, and also reduces the installation volume and production costs.

[0045] 1, 2 and 3, in this embodiment, the jet reservoir 20 includes an inner tube and a tank body 22, the inner tube includes a first straight pipe section 211 and a connecting section, the first straight pipe section 211 is connected to the jet port, and the two ends of the connecting section are respectively connected to the tank body 22 and the first straight pipe section 211, so that the refrigerant in the jet reservoir 20 can smoothly pass through the connecting section, the first straight pipe section 211 and the jet port into the compressor body for compression processing; further, the axis of the first straight pipe section 211 is aligned with the The axis of the compressor body forms a first plane 11, and the axis of the compressor body and the axis of the tank body 22 form a second plane 12. The first plane 11 and the second plane 12 are arranged to intersect, so that the first straight pipe section 211 and the tank body 22 are not coplanar, thereby increasing the constraint of the first straight pipe section 211 on the jet reservoir 20, thereby increasing the ability of the jet reservoir 20 to resist rotational vibration, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude and noise of the jet reservoir 20, thereby improving the stability and service life of the compressor, and thereby improving the user experience.

[0046] Specifically, the angle between the first plane 11 and the second plane 12 is α, 0°<α≤70°, which further increases the constraint of the first straight pipe section 211 on the jet reservoir 20, thereby further increasing the ability of the jet reservoir 20 to resist rotational vibration, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude and noise of the jet reservoir 20, thereby improving the stability and service life of the compressor, and thereby improving the user experience.

[0047] Furthermore, the connecting section includes a first curved pipe section 213, a second straight pipe section 212 and a second curved pipe section 214. The two ends of the first curved pipe section 213 are respectively connected to the first straight pipe section 211 and the second straight pipe section 212, and the two ends of the second curved pipe section 214 are respectively connected to the second curved pipe section 214 and the tank body 22. The installation direction of the tank body 22 is changed by the first curved pipe section 213 and the second curved pipe section 214, so that the tank body 22 is not coplanar with the first straight pipe section 211, thereby increasing the ability of the jet liquid reservoir 20 to resist rotational vibration, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude and noise of the jet liquid reservoir 20, thereby improving the stability and service life of the compressor, and thereby improving the user experience.

[0048] In one embodiment, the angle between the axial direction of the second straight pipe section 212 and the horizontal plane direction of the compressor body is β, wherein 0°<β≤60°, so that the second straight pipe section 212 is inclined to the horizontal plane, and the second straight pipe section 212 and the first straight pipe section 211 are also inclined, thereby increasing the anti-rotation ability between the tank body 22 and the second straight pipe section 212, and between the second straight pipe section 212 and the first straight pipe section 211, thereby reducing the amplitude of the vibration of the jet liquid reservoir 20 during the compression operation of the compressor, thereby reducing the noise generated by the vibration of the compressor, thereby improving the service life of the equipment and the user experience.

[0049] In this embodiment, the compressor is a jet reheat compressor, and the medium-pressure refrigerant gas in the jet reservoir 20 will flow out of the jet reservoir 20 from the intake port and the jet port and enter the compression chamber as needed; it should be noted that the pressure of the "medium-pressure refrigerant gas" here is a relative concept, which means that the pressure of the refrigerant in the jet reservoir 20 is higher than the pressure of the refrigerant entering the compression chamber from the evaporator, and lower than the pressure at the exhaust port of the compression chamber.

[0050] Furthermore, the compressor also includes an air intake accumulator 30, which is an important component of the compressor. It can store, separate gas and liquid, filter, muffle, and buffer the refrigerant. It includes a cylinder, an air inlet pipe, an air outlet pipe, a filter, and other components.

[0051] At the same time, the suction accumulator 30 is installed between the evaporator and the compressor suction pipe. It is a protective component that prevents liquid refrigerant from flowing into the compressor and causing liquid hammer. During the operation of the air-conditioning system, it cannot be guaranteed that the refrigerant can be completely vaporized, that is, the refrigerant coming out of the evaporator will have liquid refrigerant entering the suction accumulator 30. Since the unvaporized liquid refrigerant is heavier than the gas, it will directly fall to the bottom of the suction accumulator 30. The vaporized refrigerant enters the compressor from the outlet of the suction accumulator 30, thereby preventing the compressor from inhaling liquid refrigerant and causing liquid hammer.

[0052] The jet reheat compressor uses two-stage throttling intermediate jet technology and a flash evaporator for gas-liquid separation to achieve the enthalpy increase effect. The jet reheat technology adopts an economizer cycle design and solves the problems of high compression ratio and high exhaust temperature through the principle of quasi-two-stage compression and intermediate cooling. The compressor of the air source heat pump using jet reheat technology draws in a portion of the intermediate pressure gas through the intermediate pressure suction port, mixes it with the partially compressed refrigerant, and then compresses it, realizing a two-stage compression process with a single compressor. This allows the air source heat pump using jet reheat technology to adapt to lower outdoor ambient temperatures than ordinary air source heat pumps. At the same time, it increases the refrigerant flow in the condenser and increases the enthalpy difference between the main circulation loops, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of the compressor, making the air source heat pump using jet reheat technology more energy-saving than ordinary air source heat pumps.

[0053] Specifically, in a jet reheating system, the refrigerant exiting the condenser is divided into two paths: a primary refrigeration circuit and an auxiliary air supply circuit. The refrigerant liquid in the auxiliary circuit is reduced to a certain intermediate pressure by an electronic expansion valve, becoming a medium-pressure gas-liquid mixture. This mixture then undergoes heat exchange with the higher-temperature refrigerant liquid from the main circuit in the economizer. The refrigerant liquid in the auxiliary circuit absorbs heat, transforming into a gas that is then fed into the compression chamber through the compressor's auxiliary air inlet. Simultaneously, the refrigerant in the main circuit is subcooled, passing through the expansion valve and entering the evaporator.

[0054] In the evaporator, the refrigerant in the primary circuit absorbs heat from the low-temperature environment and becomes a low-pressure gas that enters the compressor's compression chamber. After a period of internal compression, the refrigerants in the primary and auxiliary circuits mix in the compressor's working chamber. As the compression chamber rotates, the two refrigerants are compressed and mixed until the mixing process is complete. The mixed refrigerant is further compressed by the compressor and discharged. This completes the working cycle of the jet-increased enthalpy heat pump system.

[0055] Furthermore, the suction liquid reservoir 30 is integrated with the axial direction of the compressor body, thereby greatly shortening the radial dimension of the compressor, making the structure between the compressors more compact, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the integrated compressor, thereby reducing noise, and also facilitating the miniaturization of the compressor.

[0056] In one embodiment, the housing 10 of the suction liquid reservoir 30 is integrally arranged with the housing 10 of the compressor body, and the two are integrated so that when either one vibrates, the other one will be driven together, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude and reducing the noise. At the same time, it is beneficial to the miniaturization of the compressor and the installation area of ​​the compressor, which is beneficial to the development of miniaturization of air conditioners. At the same time, through the integrated arrangement, only the exposed outer shell needs to be rust-proofed, which reduces the area requiring rust-proofing and reduces the production cost related to the rust-proofing operation.

[0057] In another embodiment, the suction accumulator 30 may be separately provided and stacked above or below the compressor body, or fixed above or below the compressor body.

[0058] In this embodiment, the volume of the jet accumulator 20 is equal to or smaller than that of the suction accumulator 30. The suction accumulator 30 stores refrigerant from the refrigeration circuit, and the refrigerant compressed in the compression chamber is primarily supplied by the suction accumulator 30. The jet accumulator 20 stores refrigerant from the air supply circuit, providing auxiliary refrigerant. Therefore, the volume of the jet accumulator 20 is equal to or smaller than that of the suction accumulator 30.

[0059] This application also proposes a refrigeration device, which can be classified as a compression refrigeration device, an absorption refrigeration device, a steam jet refrigeration device, a heat pump refrigeration device, and an electric refrigeration device. The refrigeration device primarily comprises a compressor, an expansion valve, an evaporator, a condenser, accessories, and piping. Such refrigeration devices, such as refrigerators and air conditioners, include the aforementioned compressor. The specific structure of the compressor is as described above. Since the refrigeration device in this application utilizes all the technical solutions of all the aforementioned embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments, and no further details will be given here.
