The oil separating device 36 of the compressor of the present invention, arranges intermediate throughholes 11 to connect in oil separating device 36 base plate 10 The upper end oilhole 42 of compressor inside crankshaft 37, the upper end of base plate 10 is provided with upper end port area less than the area of lower end port Cylindrical sidewall 20, and the junction in cylindrical sidewall 20 and base plate 10 or setting oil extraction portion in cylindrical sidewall 20.
During use, this oil separating device 36 is fixed on the upper end of rotor 44, after compressor operation, rotor 44 drives oil From device 36 high-speed rotation.On the one hand, the freezing oil that the oilhole 42 from bent axle 37 upper end is discharged, enters oil separating device 36, oil Segregation apparatuss 36 pass through centrifugal action, most of freezing oil are discharged to the outside of oil separating device 36 by oil extraction portion;The opposing party Face, positioned at compressor epicoele 38 and flow to the gas mixture of exhaustor 39, due to the cylindrical sidewall 20 of oil separating device 36 Stop and centrifugal action, part gas mixture is discharged to the outside of oil separating device 36 by oil extraction portion.
As shown in figure 5, present invention also offers a kind of compressor, this compressor has housing 30 and is arranged on housing 30 The upper lid 40 at end, the base plate of housing 30 is provided with the oily installing space 31 of freezing, and freezing oil is contained in the oily installing space 31 of freezing, The middle part of housing 30 is provided with bent axle 37, longitudinal extension within along housing 30 for the bent axle 37, and bent axle 37 is vertically arranged with multiple Oilhole 42, is provided with Oil Guide blade 32 in the oilhole 42 of its underpart, oilhole 42 connection housing 30 epicoele positioned at its upper end 38, the upper end of housing 30 is provided with exhaustor 39, and exhaustor 39 stretches out outside housing 30, is additionally provided with deafener in housing 30 33, rotor 44, it is set in stator 43 outside rotor 44, bent axle 37 passes through the axle center of rotor 44, between rotor 44 and stator 43 There is gap 35, there is between stator 43 and shell gap 34.Present invention additionally comprises above-mentioned oil separating device 36, as Fig. 6 institute Show, the upper bottom surface of base plate 10 of this oil separating device 36 is also associated with balance weight 41, relative with screw hole 12 on balance weight 41 Be provided with rivet installing hole, rivet 46 pass through oil separating device 36 screw hole 12 and balance weight 41 on rivet installing hole will Oil separating device 36 and balance weight 41 are together fixed on the upper end of rotor 44.Preferably, the external diameter of oil separating device 36 be less than or Person is equal to the external diameter of rotor 44, and the top external diameter of oil separating device 36 is less than the external diameter of base plate 10, and top external diameter is more than 2 times Exhaustor 39 external diameter.
The present invention, when using, this oil separating device 36 is fixed on the upper end of rotor 44, can with rotor 44 together at a high speed Rotation.During compressor operating, on the one hand, the spiral oil guide blade 32 that bent axle 37 base plate 10 is installed, will with bent axle 37 high-speed rotation The freezing oil of housing 30 base plate 10 sucks bent axle 37 oilhole 42, delivers to each friction in the pump housing by the oilhole 42 on bent axle 37 Pair, to ensure the lubrication of the pump housing.Unnecessary freezing oil can the oilhole 42 from bent axle 37 upper end be discharged, and enters oil separating device 36, Because the upper end port that oil separating device 36 has cylindrical sidewall 20 and cylindrical sidewall 20 is less than the external diameter of base plate 10, separating of oil dress Put 36 and can form centrifugal action in high-speed rotation so that freezing oil is deposited on the base plate 10 of oil separating device 36, and by row Oily portion is discharged to freezing oil outside oil separating device 36, greatly reduces the oil mass discharged from exhaustor 39;
On the other hand, freezing oil, this part system can be dissolved by most of refrigerant gas of pump housing exhaust silencer mouth The mixture of cryogen and freezing oil can pass through between the gap flowed between motor stator 43 and housing 30 and stator 43 and rotor 44 Gap is discharged to the epicoele 38 of compressor, and through colliding with housing 30 inwall and upper lid 40, flow velocity reduces this part gas mixture, The little oil droplet part being blended in refrigerant gas separates out from refrigerant gas, flows back to compressor oil sump along housing 30 wall In, a part still remains in compressor epicoele 38, positioned at compressor epicoele 38 and flow to the gas mixture of exhaustor 39, due to The stop of cylindrical sidewall 20 of oil separating device 36 and centrifugal action, part gas mixture are discharged to separating of oil by oil extraction portion The outside of device 36, decreases the oil mass that this part gas mixture is directly entered exhaustor 39.
As can be seen from the above description, the oil separating device 36 of the compressor of the present invention and the pressure including this device Contracting machine, arranges intermediate throughholes 11 to connect the upper end oilhole 42 of compressor inside crankshaft 37, base plate in oil separating device 36 base plate 10 10 upper end is provided with the cylindrical sidewall 20 that upper end open area is less than the area of lower end port, and in cylindrical sidewall 20 and base plate 10 junction or in cylindrical sidewall 20 arrange oil extraction portion.
During use, this oil separating device 36 is fixed on the upper end of rotor 44, after compressor operation, rotor 44 drives oil From device 36 high-speed rotation.On the one hand, the freezing oil that the oilhole 42 from bent axle 37 upper end is discharged, enters oil separating device 36, oil Segregation apparatuss 36 pass through centrifugal action, most of freezing oil are discharged to the outside of oil separating device 36 by oil extraction portion, significantly subtract Lack the oil mass discharged from exhaustor 39;On the other hand, positioned at compressor epicoele 38 and flow to the gas mixture of exhaustor 39, Due to stop and the centrifugal action of the cylindrical sidewall 20 of oil separating device 36, part gas mixture is discharged to oil by oil extraction portion The outside of segregation apparatuss 36, decreases the oil mass that this part gas mixture is directly entered exhaustor 39.
The foregoing is only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, be not limited to the present invention, for the skill of this area For art personnel, the present invention can have various modifications and variations.All within the spirit and principles in the present invention, made any repair Change, equivalent, improvement etc., should be included within the scope of the present invention.
