Referring to fig. 1 to 5, an embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid storage and oil distribution device, which includes a housing 1 and a partition assembly, wherein a first connection pipe 3 and a second connection pipe 4 are inserted in a top surface of the housing 1, a third connection pipe 5 and a fourth connection pipe 6 are inserted in a bottom surface of the housing 1, an oil return hole 5.1 is formed in a portion of the third connection pipe 5 extending into the housing 1, that is, an oil return hole 5.1 is formed in a side wall of the third connection pipe 5, and the oil return hole 5.1 is located in the housing 1; the partition plate assembly is arranged in the shell 1 and divides the shell 1 into a gas-liquid separation cavity 1.1 and an oil separation cavity 1.2; a cavity 2.3 is arranged in the clapboard component, and the lower part of the clapboard component is provided with an oil passing hole 2.4 for communicating the gas-liquid separation cavity 1.1 and the oil separation cavity 1.2; the first connecting pipe 3 and the third connecting pipe 5 are respectively communicated with the gas-liquid separation cavity 1.1, the second connecting pipe 4 and the fourth connecting pipe 6 are respectively communicated with the oil separation cavity 1.2, and the port of the fourth connecting pipe 6 extending into the shell 1 is positioned above the oil passing hole 2.4 and the oil return hole 5.1.
The following describes the working principle of the liquid storage and oil separation device in the embodiment of the present invention, taking an air conditioning system as an example:
when the compressor is installed, the first connecting pipe 3 is communicated with an outlet of the evaporator, and the third connecting pipe 5 is communicated with an air suction port of the compressor; the fourth connection pipe 6 is communicated with the exhaust port of the compressor, and the second connection pipe 4 is communicated with the inlet of the condenser.
When the air conditioning system is in operation, for the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1: the refrigerant flowing through the evaporator absorbs heat from the indoor space and then enters the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1 through the first connecting pipe 3. Refrigerant liquid drops and lubricating oil are possibly mixed in the refrigerant gas entering the gas-liquid separation cavity 1.1, the refrigerant gas can be suspended at the upper part of the gas-liquid separation cavity 1.1 due to low density of the refrigerant gas, the refrigerant liquid drops and the lubricating oil have high density, so that a part of the refrigerant liquid drops and the lubricating oil can directly fall to the bottom of the gas-liquid separation cavity 1.1 under the action of self gravity, and the rest refrigerant liquid drops and the lubricating oil slide into the bottom of the gas-liquid separation cavity 1.1 along the wall surface of the gas-liquid separation cavity after impacting the wall surface of the gas-liquid separation cavity 1.1. When the compressor sucks air, refrigerant gas in the gas-liquid separation cavity 1.1 enters the third connecting pipe 5 under the action of the suction pressure of the compressor, meanwhile, lubricating oil deposited at the bottom of the gas-liquid separation cavity 1.1 flows into the third connecting pipe 5 through the oil return hole 5.1, and the refrigerant gas and the lubricating oil are mixed in the third connecting pipe 5 and then enter the air suction port of the compressor.
It should be noted that, because the aperture ratio of the oil return hole 5.1 is small, only a small amount of refrigerant liquid deposited at the bottom of the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1 enters the third connecting pipe 5 through the oil return hole 5.1 during the suction process of the compressor, and a part of refrigerant liquid entering the third connecting pipe 5 is volatilized into refrigerant gas, and the remaining small amount of refrigerant liquid enters the compressor but does not cause liquid impact on the compressor.
Of course, in order to improve the oil separation effect of the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1, a first oil filter 7 may be further disposed in the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1, and the first oil filter 7 divides the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1 into two chambers. The first oil filter 7 may separate the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1 in various ways, for example, as shown in fig. 4, the first oil filter 7 laterally separates the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1 to separate the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1 into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, that is, the first oil filter 7 extends from the side wall of the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1 to the partition plate assembly. Of course, the first oil filter 7 may also longitudinally divide the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1 to divide the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1 into two chambers, i.e. the first oil filter 7 extends from the top surface to the bottom surface of the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1.
When the first oil filter 7 is arranged in the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1, the first connecting pipe 3 and the third connecting pipe 5 need to be respectively located at two sides of the first oil filter 7, that is, the port of the first connecting pipe 3 extending into the casing 1 is located in one chamber of the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1, and the port of the second connecting pipe 4 extending into the casing 1 is located in the other chamber of the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1. Therefore, after the exhaust gas of the evaporator enters the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1 through the first connecting pipe 3, the refrigerant droplets and the lubricating oil entrained in the refrigerant gas are separated under the interception of the first oil filter 7, and finally fall into the bottom of the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1 under the action of self gravity. The first oil filter element 7 may be a single-layer or multi-layer filter screen, or may be a porous sponge. The first oil filter 7 of the above-described structure does not constitute a limitation to the scope of the present invention.
For the oil separation chamber 1.2 during operation of the air conditioning system: the low-temperature low-pressure refrigerant gas is compressed by the compressor to work and then is converted into high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant gas, and the high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged from the exhaust port of the compressor enters the oil separation chamber 1.2 through the fourth connecting pipe 6. The refrigerant gas entering the oil separation chamber 1.2 may be mixed with lubricating oil of the compressor, and because the density of the refrigerant gas is small, the refrigerant gas can be suspended at the upper part of the oil separation chamber 1.2 and gradually flows into the condenser through the second connecting pipe 4, and the lubricating oil with larger density can directly fall to the bottom of the oil separation chamber 1.2 under the action of self gravity. When the level of the lubricating oil deposited at the bottom of the oil separation chamber 1.2 reaches the position of the oil passing hole 2.4, the lubricating oil in the oil separation chamber 1.2 flows into the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1 through the oil passing hole 2.4 and finally returns to the compressor through the third connecting pipe 5. Because the partition plate component is internally provided with the cavity 2.3, the heat transfer performance between the oil separation cavity 1.2 and the gas-liquid separation cavity 1.1 is poor, in the oil separation process, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas in the oil separation cavity 1.2 can only transfer a small amount of heat to the low-temperature refrigerant gas in the gas-liquid separation cavity 1.1 through the partition plate component, so that the temperature of the exhaust gas of the evaporator is not greatly changed after the exhaust gas passes through the gas-liquid separation cavity 1.1 for gas-liquid separation, and the overhigh inlet temperature of the compressor can be avoided.
Of course, in order to improve the oil separation effect of the oil separation chamber 1.2, a second oil filter 8 may be further disposed in the oil separation chamber 1.2, and the second oil filter 8 divides the oil separation chamber 1.2 into two chambers. The second oil filter 8 can divide the oil separation chamber 1.2 in various ways, for example, as shown in fig. 4, the second oil filter 8 transversely divides the oil separation chamber 1.2 to divide the oil separation chamber 1.2 into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, that is, the second oil filter 8 extends from the side wall of the oil separation chamber 1.2 to the partition plate assembly. Of course, the second oil filter 8 may also longitudinally divide the oil separation chamber 1.2 to divide the oil separation chamber 1.2 into two chambers, namely, the second oil filter 8 extends from the top surface to the bottom surface of the oil separation chamber 1.2.
When the second oil filter 8 is arranged in the oil separation chamber 1.2, the second connecting pipe 4 and the fourth connecting pipe 6 are respectively positioned at two sides of the second oil filter 8, that is, the port of the second connecting pipe 4 extending into the housing 1 is positioned in one chamber of the oil separation chamber 1.2, and the port of the fourth connecting pipe 6 extending into the housing 1 is positioned in the other chamber of the oil separation chamber 1.2. Therefore, after the compressor exhaust enters the oil separation chamber 1.2 through the fourth connecting pipe 6, the lubricating oil entrained in the refrigerant gas is separated under the interception of the second oil filter 8, and finally falls into the bottom of the oil separation chamber 1.2 under the action of self gravity. The second oil filter 8 may be a single-layer or multi-layer filter screen, or may be a porous sponge. The second oil filter 8 of the above structure does not constitute a limitation to the scope of the present invention.
Besides, it should be noted that the oil separation chamber 1.2 can be used for separating lubricating oil in the compressor exhaust gas, and can also be used for separating lubricating oil carried by the exhaust gas in the intermediate return air flow path of the air conditioning system. For example, when the air conditioning system includes an enthalpy-increasing vapor injection branch, the oil separation chamber 1.2 may be used to separate the lubrication oil in the exhaust gas of the enthalpy-increasing vapor injection branch. Specifically, one end of the air-supply enthalpy-increasing branch is communicated with an outlet of the condenser, the other end of the air-supply enthalpy-increasing branch is communicated with the second connecting pipe 4, and the fourth connecting pipe 6 is communicated with an air-supply port of the compressor.
Therefore, the refrigerant gas discharged from the vapor-supplying enthalpy-increasing branch enters the oil separation chamber 1.2 through the second connecting pipe 4, if the exhaust gas of the vapor-supplying enthalpy-increasing branch is mixed with the lubricating oil, a part of the lubricating oil directly falls to the bottom of the oil separation chamber 1.2 under the action of self gravity, the rest of the lubricating oil slides to the bottom of the oil separation chamber 1.2 along the wall surface of the oil separation chamber after impacting the wall surface of the oil separation chamber 1.2, and the refrigerant gas is suspended at the upper part of the oil separation chamber 1.2. When the compressor sucks air, the refrigerant gas in the oil separation chamber 1.2 enters the fourth connecting pipe 6. When the level of the lubricating oil deposited at the bottom of the oil separation chamber 1.2 reaches the position of the oil passing hole 2.4, the lubricating oil in the oil separation chamber 1.2 flows into the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1 through the oil passing hole 2.4 and finally returns to the compressor through the third connecting pipe 5. Similarly, due to the existence of the cavity 2.3 inside the partition plate assembly, in the oil separation process, the refrigerant gas in the oil separation chamber 1.2 can only transfer a small amount of heat to the low-temperature refrigerant gas in the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1 through the partition plate assembly, so that the temperature of the exhaust gas of the evaporator is not greatly changed after the gas-liquid separation is carried out on the exhaust gas through the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1, and the overhigh inlet temperature of the compressor can be avoided. Of course, in order to improve the oil separation effect of the oil separation chamber 1.2 on the exhaust gas of the vapor-supplementing enthalpy-increasing branch, the second oil filter 8 may be arranged in the oil separation chamber 1.2.
In addition, when the liquid storage and oil distribution device in the embodiment of the invention is manufactured, a worker can change the maximum oil storage capacity of the gas-liquid separation cavity 1.1 by adjusting the length of the third connecting pipe 5 extending into the shell 1 and the opening positions of the oil return hole 5.1 and the oil passing hole 2.4. When the length of the third connecting pipe 5 extending into the shell 1 is longer, the larger the distance between the oil return hole 5.1 and the oil passing hole 2.4 and the bottom surface of the shell 1 is, the larger the maximum oil storage capacity of the gas-liquid separation chamber 1.1 is. The oil return hole 5.1 is preferably located at the same height as the oil passing hole 2.4 or below the oil passing hole 2.4. Of course, the opening position of the oil passing hole 2.4 can also directly influence the maximum oil storage capacity of the oil separation chamber 1.2, and the larger the distance between the oil passing hole 2.4 and the bottom surface of the shell 1 is, the larger the maximum oil storage capacity of the oil separation chamber 1.2 is, and the smaller the maximum oil storage capacity is. In addition, the size of the oil passing hole 2.4 can directly influence the flow rate of the lubricating oil stored in the oil separation cavity 1.2 into the gas-liquid separation cavity 1.1 in unit time.

Compared with an arc-shaped plate, the first partition plate 2.1 and the second partition plate 2.2 are flat plates, so that the relative sizes of the oil separation cavity 1.2 and the gas-liquid separation cavity 1.1 can be adjusted in the manufacturing stage more conveniently. Wherein, the transverse cross-sectional shape of the housing 1 may be, but not limited to, circular, elliptical or polygonal.

Therefore, the compressor assembly in the embodiment of the invention can realize two functions of gas-liquid separation and oil separation, save the installation space, reduce the cost and avoid overhigh inlet temperature of the compressor by adopting the liquid storage and oil separation device.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a heat exchange system which comprises an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor assembly and a throttling device, wherein the compressor assembly is the compressor assembly. The oil separation cavity 1.2 in the liquid storage oil separator can be used as an exhaust oil separator of the compressor, and can also be used as an intermediate return air flow path such as an exhaust oil separator of an air-supply enthalpy-increasing branch.
Taking the most basic heat exchange system as an example, when the oil separation chamber 1.2 is used as an exhaust oil separator of a compressor, the first connecting pipe 3 is communicated with an outlet of an evaporator, and the third connecting pipe 5 is communicated with an air suction port of the compressor; the fourth connecting pipe 6 is communicated with an exhaust port of the compressor, and the second connecting pipe 4 is communicated with an inlet of the condenser; the outlet of the condenser is communicated with the inlet of the evaporator through a throttling device.
Taking a heat exchange system with an air-supplementing enthalpy-increasing branch as an example, under the condition that the oil separation cavity 1.2 is used as an exhaust oil separator of the air-supplementing enthalpy-increasing branch, the first connecting pipe 3 is communicated with an outlet of the evaporator, and the third connecting pipe 5 is communicated with an air suction port of the compressor; the exhaust port of the compressor is communicated with the inlet of the condenser, the outlet of the condenser is communicated with the second connecting pipe 4 through the air-supplying enthalpy-increasing branch, and the air-supplying port of the compressor is communicated with the fourth connecting pipe 6. The connection relationship between the air-supplying enthalpy-increasing branch and the liquid storage oil separator is described by taking the air-supplying enthalpy-increasing branch comprising a throttle valve and an economizer as an example: the exhaust of the condenser is divided into a main path and an auxiliary path, the refrigerant of the main path directly enters the economizer, and the refrigerant of the auxiliary path also enters the economizer after being throttled by the throttle valve. After the two paths of refrigerants exchange heat in the economizer, the refrigerant in the auxiliary path absorbs heat and is heated to be converted into refrigerant gas, the refrigerant gas enters the air supplement port of the compressor through the second connecting pipe 4, and the refrigerant in the main path releases heat and is cooled to be converted into subcooled refrigerant liquid, and then the subcooled refrigerant liquid enters the inlet of the evaporator through the throttling device.
Since the structure and principle of the liquid storage and oil distribution device in the heat exchange system are the same as those described above, the detailed description is omitted here. Therefore, the heat exchange system in the embodiment of the invention can realize two functions of gas-liquid separation and oil separation, save the installation space and reduce the cost by adopting the liquid storage and oil separation device, and can also avoid overhigh air inlet temperature of the compressor and improve the refrigeration efficiency.
