Abstract
Description
A multi-stage spherical compressor Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a compressor, in particular to a multi-stage spherical compressor. Background Art
[0002] Spherical compressors are a newly invented variable volume mechanism with a completely new structure. Like piston, rolling rotor, scroll, and screw compressors, they can be used in diverse applications, each leveraging its own unique advantages. Spherical compressors offer unique advantages, including a simple structure, few moving parts, no inlet and outlet valves, reliable sealing, high pressure capability, and easy miniaturization. In particular, they can form multiple working chambers within a spherical cylinder, enabling multi-stage compression. For example, the multi-stage spherical compressor disclosed in Chinese patent number 200610104569.8, entitled "Spherical Compressor Enabling Multi-Stage Compression," utilizes multi-stage compression to gradually increase the working fluid pressure.
[0003] However, since the rotation of the piston of the spherical compressor is powered by a main shaft with an eccentric shaft hole, when the main shaft rotates to the point where the axis of the turntable coincides with the axis of the piston, the resultant force of the main shaft acting on the turntable is perpendicular to the axes of the piston and turntable. At this position, the resultant force of the main shaft acting on the turntable cannot generate a torque component that drives the piston and turntable to rotate around their respective axes, and the turntable and piston cannot be rotated. This is the dead point of the movement of the spherical compressor mechanism of this structure. The rotor needs to pass through the movement inertia of the mechanism to operate normally when passing through the dead point position; when the movement state is the starting state at the dead point position or stops rotating exactly at the dead point state, it cannot be started next time. To this end, in the technical solution of this patent, permanent magnets are respectively arranged on the rotating surfaces where the main shaft contacts the cylinder body. The polarity of the opposite surfaces of the two permanent magnets is the same. The repulsive force with the same polarity is used to push the main shaft away from the dead point position at a certain angle to prevent it from stopping at the dead point. However, this method has poor versatility and reliability. For structures with larger structural dimensions, good lubrication and smaller friction, the friction can be overcome by the inertia of movement to allow the rotor to pass the dead point position. However, for structures with smaller structural dimensions and poorer lubrication conditions, due to the small inertia and large friction, it is still easy to get stuck and stop at the dead point position.
[0004] In the subsequent application development of the patented technology with patent number 200610104569.8, new technology research and development and innovative design have been continuously carried out to improve the over-dead point technology of spherical compressors, such as the Chinese patents with patent numbers 2013101006975 and titled "A turntable rotation synchronization mechanism for spherical compressors", patent number 201410100390X and titled "A spherical compressor rotor anti-dead point mechanism", and patent number 2014105548366 and titled "A spherical compressor anti-dead point power mechanism", among which patent number 20131010069 Patent No. 75 uses a turntable synchronization mechanism consisting of an elastic steel ball and a concave slideway between the cylinder body sphere and the turntable sphere. The elastic steel ball's instantaneous rotational torque causes the rotor to pass through the dead point, but the concave slideway occupies the sealing surface, resulting in reduced sealing performance. Furthermore, the concave slideway has a complex trajectory curve, making machining difficult. Patent No. 201410100390X uses a concave slideway on the cylinder body sphere or the cylinder seat sphere, and guide pins on the rotor to provide rotor rotational torque at the dead point. While this solves the sealing loss problem, the concave slideway is difficult to machine, increases the number of structural parts, and complicates the structure. Patent No. 2014105548366 uses a track limit surface on the cylinder seat or cylinder body, and a power handle on the rotor. The power handle cooperates with the track limit surface to generate rotor rotational torque. However, the track limit surface requires complex machining points, which increases the number of parts, results in a large number of wearing parts, and a complex structure.
[0005] At the same time, since the spherical compressor is a constant volume ratio compressor, the technical solution described in the patent No. 200610104569.8 cannot achieve variable working conditions and cannot work efficiently when the working conditions change. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The advantages of this patent are:
[0019] 1) The motion dead point problem of the spherical multi-stage compressor is completely solved from the perspective of motion mechanism: the spherical compressor described in this patent has a slipper provided at the end of the piston shaft, the slipper sleeve rotates in the sleeve hole on the spherical surface inside the cylinder head, and the slipper swings back and forth in the slide groove inside the slipper sleeve. The turntable shaft serves as a driving shaft to directly drive the turntable to rotate, and the turntable drives the piston to rotate (at this time, the piston rotates around the axis of the sleeve hole, and the slipper swings back and forth in the slide groove of the slipper sleeve). At the same time, the piston and the turntable swing relative to each other, thereby making the spherical compressor a dead point-free mechanism.
[0020] 2) The structure is lightweight, which simplifies the structure of the multi-stage compressor and reduces the volume of the multi-stage compressor: multiple groups of compressible working chambers are integrated in a spherical cavity to form multi-stage compression, and a rolling rotor compression part is set at the lower part of the turntable shaft, with high integration and unique structure.
[0021] 3) Variable working condition operation can be realized: The rolling rotor compression part can be operated as a variable working condition, preparing the compressed working medium for each stage of compression of the spherical compressor, and realizing efficient operation of multi-stage compression.
[0022] 4) As a spherical expansion compressor, it can be used for carbon dioxide compression refrigeration. A pair of working chambers (third chamber A and third chamber B) formed between the piston pin seat and the turntable pin seat serve as expansion working chambers. The compression and expansion mechanical movements interact with each other. When the compression working chamber performs the compression stroke, the expansion working chamber uses the movement trend of the compression-stage working chamber to expand, so that compression and expansion assist each other. The expander does less work, has high efficiency, and saves energy and reduces emissions. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
