Piston cylinder units comprises the cylinder baffle that is provided with piston hole, in this cylinder baffle, guides vibration type piston.
The piston hole of cylinder baffle in first axial end region by cylinder head or by valve plate sealing, and piston hole second axial end region be open wide to hold piston, perhaps under the installment state of coolant compressor, passed by connecting rod.
Cylinder head can be configured to the parts of the lid shape of entity usually on the one hand, for example has pressure chamber and suction chamber, and these parts side within it carry valve plate.These parts can be configured to ring-shaped member, and it remains on valve plate on the cylinder baffle, yet it can also only be configured to valve plate, and this valve plate is clamped on the cylindrical part of cylinder baffle through chucking device.In this case, be used for the suction opening of refrigeration agent sucking-off refrigerant circuit is disposed in valve plate, the pressure opening also is disposed in the valve plate, and refrigerant compressed is discharged by piston through the pressure opening after the refrigerant circuit compression process.
In the most general refrigeration agent piston compressor, valve plate is connected with the end-face helical of cylinder baffle.For this reason, on the cylinder baffle and hole arranged in valve plate, wherein the hole in cylinder baffle is equipped with screw thread, carries out being threaded through this screw thread.In the coolant compressor of this general types; Valve plate with the opposed side of cylinder baffle on be provided with cylinder cover; This cylinder cover has pressure chamber, the refrigerant compressed of discharging from cylinder this pressure chamber by temporary cache, so that overflow in the refrigerant circuit subsequently.Also known such embodiment wherein is provided with the suction chamber corresponding to pressure chamber, and via this suction chamber, refrigeration agent is drawn in the cylinder by suction opening.Pressure chamber and suction chamber are separated from one another through the structural measure of the correspondence in the cylinder in this case.

Under the situation of Fig. 1, one first permanent magnet 11a is attached to the end face of piston 3, another first permanent magnet 11b, is that the annular permanent-magnet body is attached to opposite side.One second permanent magnet 12a is attached to cylinder head 4 or is attached to the valve plate of cylinder head 4, and another second permanent magnet 12b is attached to the opposite side of cylinder baffle 1, passes cylinder baffle 1 at this opposite side place piston shaft 22.Another second permanent magnet is configured to ring-type.Confirm to increase in this permanent magnet 11a and 12a cooperation and based on their field intensity, and permanent magnet 11b confirms towards the power increase of the lower dead centre direction of piston 3 with the 12b cooperation and based on their field intensity towards the power of the upper dead center direction of piston 3.According to load, the point during piston 3 actual steerings can change.
Fig. 2 demonstration is similar to embodiment embodiment illustrated in fig. 1, and just in Fig. 2, annular permanent-magnet body 11 dresses are embedded among the first end face 3a of piston 3, and ring-type second permanent magnet 12 is adorned in the valve plate 5 that is embedded in cylinder head 4 with annular permanent-magnet body 11 accordingly.First permanent magnet 11 towards the first end face 3a of the surface of working space 14 and piston 3 in a plane.Second permanent magnet 12 towards the flat inner surface of the surface of working space 14 and valve plate 5 in a plane.
Valve plate 5 has suction opening 17, and this suction opening 17 can utilize suction valve 15 sealings in the inboard of valve plate 5.Valve plate 5 also has pressure opening 18, and this pressure opening can utilize pressure valve 16 sealings in the outside of valve plate 5.
During aspirating stroke shown here (piston 3 moves right), refrigeration agent flow in the operation interval 14 through the suction valve of opening 15 via suction opening 17, this operation interval be formed on valve plate 5 and piston 3 towards between the first end face 3a of valve plate 5.During compression stroke (piston 3 is moved to the left), refrigeration agent leaves the inside output of cylinder baffle 1 once more via pressure opening 18.Piston shaft 22 does not show in Fig. 2.
Two permanent magnets 11,12 have same size and by identical ferromagnetic material manufacturing, thereby these two permanent magnets have equal magnetic intensity.These two permanent magnets are configured to circular cylinder, so internal surface and outer surface have the form of cylindrical sheath, and the supporting surface on the piston 3 has the form of circular ring, the form that has circular ring towards the surface of operation interval 14 equally of permanent magnet 11,12.
Two permanent magnets 11,12 are embedded in the annular recess of piston 3 or valve plate 5 by dress respectively, thus evenly the stopping of permanent magnet 11,12 towards the first end face 3a of the surface of working space 14 and piston or with the inboard of valve plate 5. Permanent magnet 11,12 is placed in the bottom of annular recess separately; Yet between the wall of the outer surface that is configured to cylindrical sheath of permanent magnet 11,12 and depression, be provided with free space 13, thereby not left by the outer surface of the cylindrical sheath form that magnetic field line that the metallic material of piston 3 or valve plate 5 disturbs can be through permanent magnet 11,12.As shown in the piston 3, free space 13 can also use nonferromagnetic material to fill, and for example uses plastics to fill.Reduce clearance space thus, i.e. the space of the enough refrigeration agent fillings of the ability between piston that is in the dead point and valve plate.
Use is according to the embodiment of Fig. 2, and piston stroke is limited by permanent magnet 11,12 at upper dead center.For the limited piston stroke at the lower dead centre place, another first permanent magnet (like the permanent magnet 11b among Fig. 1) also can be disposed on the second end face 3b of piston 3, and corresponding permanent magnet 12b is arranged on the cylinder baffle.
Perhaps, as shown in Figure 3, spring element 27 can be provided, this spring element is confirmed the lower dead centre of piston 3.The structure of piston cylinder units is identical with structure among Fig. 2.In addition, exciting winding 8 is also shown among Fig. 3.
In the embodiment variant according to Fig. 4-6, the first permanent magnet 11a, 11b are not arranged on the piston 3, but are arranged on the cylindrical oscillating body 7 of Linear actuator 6.The corresponding second permanent magnet 12a, 12b are disposed on the inboard of shell 24 of Linear actuator 6, thereby corresponding second permanent magnet aligns with permanent magnet 11a, 11b along the direction of piston longitudinal axis 9.
Permanent magnet 11a, 11b, 12a, 12b also are configured to circular cylinder at this, but are not embedded in shell 24 or the oscillating body 7 by dress, but are fastened on the circular surface of oscillating body 7 or are fastened on the opposed inwall of shell 24.Each circular cylinder is arranged about piston longitudinal axis 9 at this with one heart.
When piston 3 is positioned at upper dead center, referring to Fig. 4, watch along the direction of piston longitudinal axis 9, permanent magnet 11a and 12a have minimum possible spacing relative to each other because of the power that acts on the oscillating body 7 of Linear actuator 6.Yet permanent magnet 11b and 12b have the spacing relative to each other of maximum possible, and the spacing of this maximum possible corresponds essentially to the stroke of piston of piston 3.
If piston 3 is positioned at lower dead centre, referring to Fig. 5, watch along the direction of piston longitudinal axis 9, permanent magnet 11b and 12b have minimum possible spacing relative to each other because of the power that acts on the oscillating body 7 of Linear actuator 6.Yet permanent magnet 11a and 12a have the spacing relative to each other of maximum possible, and the spacing of this maximum possible corresponds essentially to the stroke of piston of piston 3.
Fig. 6 is to amplify the thin B of portion of form displayed map 4. Permanent magnet 11a and 12a are visible in a permanent magnet layout (a), and it is visible in the second permanent magnet layout (b), having only permanent magnet 11b.The radial outer diameter of permanent magnet 11a and 11b is almost corresponding to the radial diameter of cylindrical oscillating body 7, and the diameter of permanent magnet 11a, 11b, 12a, 12b is only than the little about 1-5% of diameter of oscillating body 7.
Fig. 7 shows the variant according to the embodiment variant of Fig. 4, and the permanent magnet layout that wherein is used for the lower dead centre of definite Fig. 4 is substituted by spring element 27.Permanent magnet 11a and the 12a of Fig. 4 are held, and permanent magnet 11b and 12b are substituted by spring element 27.
Fig. 8 is presented at the schematic representation in the magnetic field of developing in the zone of the permanent magnet 11,12 among Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 with the form of field wire 25 or 26, and wherein piston 3 is arranged in the zone of its lower dead centre at this.Magnetic field line is closed, and it leaves permanent magnet in so-called " arctic " respectively, and gets into permanent magnet in so-called " South Pole ".When South Pole of a permanent magnet during near arctic of another permanent magnet, permanent magnet attracts each other and absorption each other.If the arctic of a permanent magnet is during near arctic (perhaps the South Pole of a permanent magnet is near the South Pole of another permanent magnet) of another permanent magnet; Two permanent magnet repulsions, permanent magnet can not close to each other or only possibly utilize certain power close to each other and make the contact of its South Pole.This principle obtains utilizing in the present invention.Because the repulsive force between the magnetic pole of the same name and the spacing of magnetic pole are inversely proportional to, so piston 3 also is non-linear near the power of valve plate 5 and the spacing between piston 3 and the valve plate 5.This is and is arranged in the essential distinction of the spring element between valve plate 5 and the piston 3, wherein the spacing linear correlation between power and valve plate 5 and the piston 3.
