Solution Overview

Problem

Existing scroll compressor technologies fail to effectively balance crankshaft deformation due to only considering the influence of the orbiting scroll centrifugal force, resulting in poor balance effects.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that determine the component centrifugal force required for counterweights to overcome both orbiting scroll centrifugal force and gas force, allowing for accurate placement and distribution of counterweights on the crankshaft to balance deformation, considering the superimposed effects of these forces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If only orbiting scroll centrifugal force is considered for counterweight design, then the design complexity is reduced, but the balance effect deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecounterweight design complexityVSAvoidbalance effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameters considered in the counterweight design from only centrifugal force to include both centrifugal force and gas force. This is achieved by determining component centrifugal forces that account for the superimposed effects of orbiting scroll centrifugal force and gas force, thereby improving the balance effect while maintaining a manageable design process through systematic parameter consideration

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies the counterweight principle by designing counterweights on the crankshaft that generate centrifugal forces to balance the superimposed effects of orbiting scroll centrifugal force and gas force. The counterweight is positioned and sized to create a balancing effect that addresses both force components simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #8Anti-weight (Counterweight)

2Reliability

If superimposed effects of centrifugal force and gas force are considered, then the balance effect is improved, but the calculation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebalance effectVSAvoidcalculation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex balancing problem into distinct force components: orbiting scroll centrifugal force and gas force. By determining component centrifugal forces for each force separately and then combining their effects, the calculation becomes more systematic and manageable while still achieving comprehensive balance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces component centrifugal force as a new parameter that synthesizes the effects of multiple forces. This parameter change allows the complex superimposed effects to be handled through a structured approach of determining individual force components and their combined effect on crankshaft deformation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
