Description

Compressor equipped with gasket

[0001] The present invention relates to a compressor, and more particularly, to a compressor having a gasket that prevents fluid inside the compressor from leaking to the outside.

[0002] In general, a compressor is a device for compressing a fluid such as a gas or a mixture of gas and liquid to increase its pressure and temperature.

[0003] Among these compressors, scroll compressors compress fluid using fixed scrolls and orbiting scrolls that are arranged to interlock with each other. More specifically, scroll compressors are configured such that a compression chamber is formed between the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll, and the orbiting scroll is relatively moved (orientated) by a motor or the like to compress the fluid within the compression chamber. These scroll compressors can achieve a relatively high compression ratio compared to other types of compressors, and the suction, compression, and discharge cycles of the refrigerant are smoothly connected, thereby obtaining stable torque. Therefore, scroll compressors are widely used for refrigerant compression in air conditioning systems, etc.

[0004] However, these conventional compressors have a structure in which a housing, a fixed scroll, and a cap for discharging compressed fluid are stacked, and thus there is a problem in that fluid may leak between the housing and the fixed scroll or between the fixed scroll and the cap.

[0005] The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a compressor equipped with a gasket that prevents fluid inside the compressor from leaking to the outside.

[0006] The tasks of the present invention are not limited to the tasks mentioned above, and other tasks not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains from the description below.

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, a compressor is provided, comprising: a shaft support member; an orbiting scroll coupled to the shaft support member; an orbiting scroll accommodated in the shaft support member; a fixed scroll in contact with the orbiting scroll and compressing a fluid by orbiting the orbiting scroll; a cap having a receiving space for accommodating the fixed scroll and coupled to the shaft support member so that the receiving space is sealed; a first gasket disposed between the shaft support member and the cap; and a second gasket disposed between the fixed scroll and the cap, wherein a sum of a depth of the receiving space and a thickness of the first gasket is equal to or greater than a sum of a height of the fixed scroll and a thickness of the second gasket.

[0008] At this time, the depth of the above-mentioned receiving space may be equal to the height of the above-mentioned fixed scroll.

[0009] At this time, the thickness of the first gasket may be equal to or greater than the thickness of the second gasket.

[0010] At this time, the thickness of the first gasket may be the same as the thickness of the second gasket.

[0011] At this time, the depth of the above-mentioned accommodation space may be greater than the height of the above-mentioned fixed scroll.

[0012] At this time, the difference between the depth of the receiving space and the height of the fixed scroll may be greater than the thickness of the first gasket.

[0013] At this time, the fixed scroll can come into contact with the shaft support member.

[0014] At this time, the fixed scroll can be formed to correspond to the receiving space.

[0015] According to the above configuration, the compressor according to the embodiment of the present invention can minimize the fluid inside the compressor from leaking out to the outside, since the fixed scroll is accommodated in the cap, unlike the conventional structure in which the fixed scroll is exposed to the outside.

[0016] Additionally, as the fixed scroll is moved and assembled inside the cap, the cap can reduce the noise of the fixed scroll being transmitted to the outside.

[0017] In addition, since the cap is formed with a polygonal structure, misassembly is prevented during the process of the fixed scroll being accommodated in the cap, and rotation of the fixed scroll is prevented by the polygonal structure of the cap.

[0018] In addition, since the sum of the depth of the receiving space and the thickness of the first gasket is equal to or greater than the sum of the depth of the fixed scroll and the thickness of the second gasket, a stable contact state is maintained between the shaft support member and the cap, thereby preventing fluid from leaking out between the shaft support member and the cap.

[0035] Hereinafter, a compressor according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0036] FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view schematically showing a compressor according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 1, a compressor (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing (110), a shaft support member (120), a rotating scroll (125), a fixed scroll (140), and a cap (160).

[0038] The above housing (110) includes a driving unit (not shown) for rotating the above rotating scroll (125). The driving unit may be an electric motor.

[0039] In addition, a control unit (127) that controls the operation of the driving unit is connected to one side of the housing (110). In addition, according to various embodiments of the present invention, the control unit (127) may be placed inside the housing (110).

[0040] And, the other side of the housing (110) includes an axial support member (120) that supports the rotating scroll (125).

[0041] The above-described orbiting scroll (125) is accommodated in the above-described shaft support member (120). In addition, the orbiting scroll (125) includes a circular plate (125a) and a spiral-shaped orbiting wrap (125b). For example, the orbiting wrap (125b) may be formed in a spiral shape while being supported by the circular plate (125a).

[0042] The above-mentioned rotary scroll (125) is mounted on the inside of the shaft support member (120). Specifically, the circular plate (125a) of the above-mentioned rotary scroll (125) is mounted on the inside of the shaft support member (120).

[0043] And, the driving unit provided in the housing (110) is connected to the orbiting scroll (125) through a rotation shaft (not shown). At this time, during the process of assembling the shaft support member (120) with the orbiting scroll (125), the rotation shaft does not interfere with the connection with the orbiting scroll (125). And, the shaft support member (120) can support the rotation shaft.

[0044] And, the above-mentioned rotary scroll (125) is connected to the rotary axis and rotates in a certain direction according to the rotation of the rotary axis.

[0045] The fixed scroll (140) is in contact with the orbiting scroll (125) so that the orbiting scroll (125) rotates. In addition, a compression chamber (not shown) is provided between the fixed scroll (140) and the orbiting scroll (125) in which fluid is compressed by the rotation of the orbiting scroll (125). That is, the orbiting scroll (125) can compress the fluid in the compression chamber while rotating in a state in which it is in close contact with the fixed scroll (140) at an appropriate pressure. At this time, the fluid introduced into the compression chamber is compressed into a high-temperature, high-pressure fluid and discharged.

[0046] The cap (160) is provided with a receiving space for receiving the fixed scroll (140). In addition, the cap (160) is connected to the housing (110) by a bolt (190) so that the receiving space is sealed. At this time, the bolt (190) penetrates the shaft support member (120) to secure the cap (160) and the housing (110).

[0047] And, as the fixed scroll (140) is accommodated in the cap (160), the fixed scroll (140) is not exposed to the outside. That is, in the compressor (100) according to the embodiment of the present invention, as the fixed scroll (140) is accommodated in the cap (160), unlike the structure in which the fixed scroll is exposed to the outside in the related art, the fixed scroll (140) is not exposed to the outside, and thus, the fluid inside the compressor can be minimized from leaking to the outside.

[0048] Additionally, the compressor (100) according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a first gasket (130) and a second gasket (150).

[0049] The first gasket (130) is positioned between the shaft support member (120) and the cap (160). The first gasket (130) may be made of rubber or silicone. However, the first gasket (130) is not limited to being made of rubber or silicone, and may be made of various elastic materials.

[0050] Additionally, the first gasket (130) may be formed in a hexagonal shape.

[0051] And, as illustrated in FIG. 7 described later, the first gasket (130) seals between the shaft support member (120) and the cap (160), thereby preventing the fluid of the compressor from leaking out to the outside.

[0052] The second gasket (150) is positioned between the fixed scroll (140) and the cap (160). The second gasket (150) may be made of rubber or silicone. However, the second gasket (150) is not limited to being made of rubber or silicone, and may be made of various elastic materials.

[0053] At this time, the second gasket (150) is placed inside the cap (160). Accordingly, the second gasket (150) does not interfere with the fixed scroll (140) being accommodated in the accommodation space of the cap (160).

For example, the other end of the third catch (142c) is formed to have a curved surface. Accordingly, the other end of the third catch (142c) is prevented from being damaged by contact with the other side of the third protrusion (162c).

[0083] Accordingly, the third catch (142c) is caught in the third catch groove (163c), thereby preventing the fixed scroll (140) from rotating along with the rotation of the rotating scroll (125, see FIG. 1).

Accordingly, the other end of the fourth catch (142d) is prevented from being damaged by contact with the other side of the fourth protrusion (162d).

[0086] Accordingly, the fourth catch (142d) is caught in the fourth catch groove (163d), thereby preventing the fixed scroll (140) from rotating along with the rotation of the rotating scroll (125, see FIG. 1).

[0087] The fifth catch (142e) is positioned between the fourth protrusion (162d) and the fifth protrusion (162e). In addition, the fifth catch (142e) is formed to correspond to the fifth catch groove (163e) formed by the fifth side portion (161e), the fourth protrusion (162d), and the fifth protrusion (162e).

[0088] At this time, one end of the fifth catch (142e) is formed in a shape corresponding to one side of the fourth protrusion (162d).

[0089] Accordingly, the fifth catch (142e) is caught in the fifth catch groove (163e), thereby preventing the fixed scroll (140) from rotating along with the rotation of the rotating scroll (125, see FIG. 1).

[0090] The sixth catch (142f) is positioned between the fifth protrusion (162e) and the sixth protrusion (162f). In addition, the sixth catch (142f) is formed to correspond to the sixth catch groove (163f) formed by the sixth side portion (161f), the fifth protrusion (162e), and the sixth protrusion (162f).

[0091] At this time, one end of the sixth catch (142f) is formed in a shape corresponding to one side of the fifth protrusion (162e). For example, one end of the sixth catch (142f) is formed to have a curved surface. Accordingly, one end of the sixth catch (142f) is prevented from being damaged by contact with one side of the fifth protrusion (162f). In addition, the other end of the sixth catch (142f) is formed in a shape corresponding to the other side of the sixth protrusion (162f).

[0116] And, the fluid (M) is compressed by the rotation of the rotating scroll (125). And, the compressed fluid (P) is discharged through the cap (160).

[0117]

[0118] FIG. 8 is a side view showing a part of the inside of a compressor according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view mainly showing the inside of a shaft support member and a cap of a compressor according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing the shaft support member, the orbiting scroll, the fixed scroll, and the cap of a compressor according to an embodiment of the present invention in a separated state, and FIG. 11 is a drawing mainly showing the depth of the receiving space, the depth of the fixed scroll, the thickness of the first gasket, and the thickness of the second gasket in a compressor according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0119] Referring to FIGS. 8 to 11, the depth (A) of the receiving space (160a) means the length along the Y-axis that the fixed scroll (140) is received in the receiving space (160a).

[0120] In addition, the height (C) of the fixed scroll (140) is parallel to the direction in which the fixed scroll (140) is accommodated in the accommodation space (160a) along the Y-axis.

[0121] And, the second gasket (150) and the fixed scroll (140) are accommodated in the accommodation space (160a). At this time, the fixed scroll (140) is accommodated in the accommodation space (160a) while being coupled with the rotating scroll (125).

[0122] And, a part of the above-mentioned rotating scroll (125) is accommodated in the accommodation space (160a) together with the above-mentioned fixed scroll (140), and another part of the above-mentioned rotating scroll (125) is accommodated in the above-mentioned shaft support member (120).

[0123] And, the shaft support member (120) surrounds the rotating scroll (125) and the fixed scroll (140) together with the cap (160). And, the first gasket (130) seals between the shaft support member (120) and the cap (160). That is, the first gasket (130) is pressurized by the shaft support member (120) and the cap (160) and maintains a sealed state by the combination of the shaft support member (120) and the cap (160).

[0124] And, as the fixed scroll (140) comes into contact with the shaft support member (120), the fixed scroll (140) is prevented from moving in the Y-axis direction.

[0125] At this time, the sum of the depth (A) of the receiving space and the thickness (B) of the first gasket is equal to or greater than the sum of the height (C) of the fixed scroll and the thickness (D) of the second gasket.

[0126] Accordingly, when the fixed scroll (140) is accommodated in the accommodation space (160a), the fixed scroll (140) does not interfere with the first gasket (130) being pressed by the shaft support member (120) and the cap (160).

[0127] For example, if the sum of the depth (A) of the receiving space and the thickness (B) of the first gasket is less than the sum of the height (C) of the fixed scroll and the thickness (D) of the second gasket, the shaft support member (120) and the cap (160) interfere with the fixed scroll (140) and do not sufficiently pressurize the first gasket (130). That is, if the first gasket (130) is not sufficiently pressurized by the shaft support member (120) and the cap (160), the fluid of the compressor may leak out through the periphery of the first gasket (130).

[0128] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the depth (A) of the receiving space is equal to the height (C) of the fixed scroll (140). In addition, the fixed scroll (140) protrudes from the receiving space (160a) by the thickness (D) of the second gasket.

[0129] At this time, the thickness (B) of the first gasket is equal to or greater than the thickness (D) of the second gasket. Accordingly, the fixed scroll (140) does not interfere with the pressing of the shaft support member (120) and the cap (160) on the first gasket (130) due to the thickness (B) of the first gasket.

[0130] Additionally, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the thickness (B) of the first gasket is equal to the thickness (D) of the second gasket.

[0131] At this time, the depth (A) of the accommodation space is greater than the height (C) of the fixed scroll. And, the difference between the depth (A) of the accommodation space and the height (C) of the fixed scroll is greater than the thickness (B) of the first gasket.

[0132] Accordingly, the fixed scroll (140) does not interfere with the shaft support member (120) and the cap (160) from pressing the first gasket (130) due to the thickness (B) of the first gasket.

[0133]
