Integrated Scroll Compressor Housing and Fixed Scroll
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing scroll compressors have complex structures with multiple components, leading to increased size, weight, assembly time, and cost due to the need for multiple fastening points and components.
Innovation Solution
The scroll compressor integrates a fixed scroll with the rear housing via a rib part, reducing the number of components by eliminating the need for separate fastening bolts and using seal members or welding to create a hermetically sealed discharge cavity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple components (front housing, rear housing, fixed scroll, orbiting scroll) are used with bolt fastening, then the structure is reliable and assembly is possible, but the number of components increases and the structure becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the fixed scroll and rear housing into a single integrated component. The fixed scroll is formed as one piece with the rear housing, eliminating the need for separate bolt fastening between these two components. This integration reduces the total number of components while maintaining structural reliability through the unified design that inherently ensures proper positioning and sealing.
2Reliability
If multiple components are bolt-fastened on multiple cross-sections, then the assembly is secure, but the assembly time and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating the fixed scroll and rear housing into a single component, the patent eliminates multiple bolt fastening operations that would otherwise be required at different cross-sections. This integration directly reduces assembly time and manufacturing complexity while maintaining secure assembly through the inherent structural design of the unified component.
3Stability of the object's composition
If four components are used and bolt-fastened on two cross-sections, then the structure is stable, but the size and weight of the compressor increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the fixed scroll and rear housing into a single integrated component, reducing the total component count from four to three. This integration eliminates the weight of separate bolts, washers, and associated fastening hardware, thereby reducing the overall compressor weight while maintaining structural stability through the unified design that ensures proper alignment and sealing.
4Reliability
If multiple fastening bolts are used, then the connections are secure, but the cost and manufacturing complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the fixed scroll and rear housing into a single molded component, eliminating the need for multiple bolts and fastening operations. This integration simplifies manufacturing by reducing the number of parts to be produced, assembled, and sealed, while connection security is maintained through the inherent structural integrity of the integrated design that ensures proper positioning and sealing without requiring additional fasteners.
