The cylinder wall of the first cylinder 13 shown in fig. 1 is provided with a first vane 136 groove, the first vane 136 groove is arranged along the radial direction of the first cylinder 13, a first end of the first vane 136 groove is communicated with the inner cavity of the first cylinder 13, and a second end of the first vane 136 groove is communicated with a control chamber 132. The first vane 136 is disposed in the groove of the first vane 136, and a first end of the first vane 136 abuts against a first rotary piston 139 disposed in the first cylinder 13. The first vane 136 and the first rotary piston 139 divide an inner cavity of the first cylinder 13 into a suction chamber 137 and a discharge chamber 138. The cylinder wall of the first cylinder 13 is provided with a first air suction channel 131 arranged along the radial direction of the cylinder, the first air suction channel 131 is connected with the inner cavity of the first cylinder 13, and specifically, the first air suction channel 131 is connected with an air suction cavity 137. The control chamber 132 is connected to the first inhalation passage 131 through a first control passage 133, and the control chamber 132 is connected to the space inside the housing 11 through a second control passage 134. Only one of the first control air passage 133 and the second control air passage 134 is in a conducting state at the same time.

Referring again to fig. 3, a chute 1352 having a first position and a second position is disposed on a side of the control chamber 132 adjacent to the first inhalation passage 131, the slider 1351 is disposed in the chute 1352, the first control air passage 133 and the second control air passage 134 are both in communication with a first side of the chute 1352, and a second side of the chute 1352 is in communication with the control chamber 132. A sliding block 1351 is arranged in the sliding groove 1352, and the sliding block 1351 slides between a first position and a second position; when the sliding block 1351 is located at the first position, the sliding block 1351 blocks the first control air passage 133, and the second control air passage 134 is communicated; when the slider 1351 is located at the second position, the slider 1351 seals the second control air passage 134, and the first control air passage 133 is conducted.

The sliding of the sliding block 1351 between the first position and the second position is performed by a driving device 18 disposed in the intermediate plate 17, and the slide is driven to slide between the first position and the second position by the driving device 18.

Slider 1351 is shown in a first position in fig. 3, where slider 1351 blocks first control port 133 and second control port 134 is in communication with control chamber 132. The crankshaft 16 is driven by the motor to rotate, the second cylinder 14 works normally, and the second cylinder 14 compresses the refrigerant and then discharges the high-pressure refrigerant, so that the housing 11 is filled with high-pressure gas. The high-pressure gas in the housing 11 enters the control chamber 132 through the second control air passage 134, and the first vane 136 and the first rotary piston 139 are abutted under the action of the high-pressure gas, so that the first rotary piston 139 of the first cylinder 13 sucks the low-pressure refrigerant from the first air suction passage 131 to the air suction cavity 137, and the low-pressure refrigerant is compressed and then discharged from the air discharge cavity 138.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the slider 1351 of fig. 3 in a second position. The slider 1351 is shown in the second position in fig. 4, in which the slider 1351 blocks the second control air passage 134, the first control air passage 133 is communicated with the control chamber 132, and the low-pressure refrigerant in the first suction passage 131 enters the control chamber 132 through the first control air passage 133. The crankshaft 16 is driven by the motor to rotate, the second cylinder 14 works normally, and the second cylinder 14 compresses the refrigerant and then discharges the high-pressure refrigerant. Since the control chamber 132 is filled with the low-pressure refrigerant, the first vane 136 cannot effectively collide with the first rotary piston 139, so that the first cylinder 13 cannot compress the low-pressure refrigerant in the first suction passage 131, and only one cylinder, i.e., the second cylinder 14, compresses the refrigerant, thereby reducing the capacity (volume flow rate) of the compressor 10.

Example 2

Fig. 5 is a schematic structural view of the first cylinder 13 in embodiment 2. Fig. 6 is a schematic view of the slider 1351 of fig. 5 in a second position. Referring to fig. 5 and 6, the present embodiment is different from embodiment 1 in that: a connecting air channel 1353 is arranged in the slider 1351, when the slider 1351 is located at the first position, the second control air channel 134 is communicated with the control chamber 132 through the connecting air channel 1353, and when the slider 1351 is located at the second position, the first control air channel 133 is communicated with the control chamber 132 through the connecting air channel 1353. The first position of the sliding block 1351 is the lower end of the sliding groove 1352, and the second position of the sliding block 1351 is the upper end of the sliding groove 1352.

The slider 1351 is shown in fig. 5 in a first position, in which the slider 1351 blocks the first control air passage 133 and the second control air passage 134 communicates with the control chamber 132 via a connecting air passage 1353 in the slider 1351. The crankshaft 16 is driven by the motor to rotate, the second cylinder 14 works normally, and the second cylinder 14 compresses the refrigerant and then discharges the high-pressure refrigerant, so that the housing 11 is filled with high-pressure gas. The high-pressure gas in the housing 11 enters the control chamber 132 through the second control air passage 134, and the first vane 136 and the first rotary piston 139 are abutted under the action of the high-pressure gas, so that the first rotary piston 139 of the first cylinder 13 sucks the low-pressure refrigerant from the first suction passage 131 to the suction chamber 137, and the low-pressure refrigerant is compressed and then discharged from the discharge chamber 138.

The slider 1351 is shown in fig. 6 in the second position, in which the slider 1351 closes the second control air passage 134, the first control air passage 133 communicates with the control chamber 132 through the connecting air passage 1353 in the slider 1351, and the low-pressure refrigerant in the first suction passage 131 enters the control chamber 132 through the first control air passage 133. The crankshaft 16 is driven by the motor to rotate, the second cylinder 14 works normally, and the second cylinder 14 compresses the refrigerant and then discharges the high-pressure refrigerant. Since the control chamber 132 is filled with the low-pressure refrigerant, the first vane 136 cannot effectively collide with the first rotary piston 139, so that the first cylinder 13 cannot compress the low-pressure refrigerant in the first suction passage 131, and only one cylinder, i.e., the second cylinder 14, compresses the refrigerant, thereby reducing the capacity (volume flow rate) of the compressor 10.

Example 3

Referring to fig. 7, the present embodiment is different from embodiment 2 in that: a stopping groove 1354 is formed at one side of the groove of the first vane 136, and when the slider 1351 is located at the second position, the stopping groove 1354 is communicated with the inner space of the housing 11 to lock the first vane 136. When the slider 1351 is located at the first position, the stop groove 1354 communicates with the first inhalation passage 131. When the sliding block 1351 slides to the second position (the upper end of the sliding chute 1352), the stopping groove 1354 is filled with high-pressure gas, and the high-pressure gas presses the first blade 136, so that the first blade 136 is fixed in the groove of the first blade 136.

In some embodiments, a pneumatic lock is disposed on one side of the first blade 136, and when the sliding block 1351 is located in the second position, the free end of the pneumatic lock abuts against the side of the first blade 136 to lock the first blade 136.
