Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the structure of a compressor having a pressure control valve for controlling the pressure in the crankcase and an oil separation mechanism for separating oil mixed in the compressed working fluid according to the preamble of claim 1 and claim 2, respectively.
  • one of the intake chamber and discharge chamber that is formed to the center of the rear housing communicates with the corresponding discharge outlet via a tunnel-like communicating passage, in which a muffler chamber is provided between the tunnel-like communicating passage and the pipe connection to which the discharge outlet is connected (for example see Patent Document 2).
  • the pressure control valve is provided on the supply passage that communicates with the discharge chamber via the introducing port at one end and with the crankcase at the other so that the opening rate of the supply passage is adjusted to control the pressure in the crankcase (for example see Patent Document 3).
  • Generic WO 2005/066492 A shows a compressor with an oil separating mechanism separating oil mixed in a working fluid.
  • a communication route allowing a discharge area including a discharge chamber to communicate with a crankcase is provided.
  • a flow control mechanism controlling an oil flow led from a discharge area to a crankcase is installed in the communication route.
  • an oil separating mechanism separating oil mixed in the working fluid in the crankcase is installed in a bleed passage allowing the crankcase to communicate with a suction area including the suction chamber.
  • JP 08114182 A discloses a compressor according to the preamble of claim 2.
  • the working fluid containing a relatively large amount of oil is sent to the supply passage, which causes the oil to adhere to the valve body of the pressure control valve, slowing down the opening/closing motion of the valve and substantially changing the passage area because of the oil adhering to the valve body, and the desired working fluid rate supplied to the crankcase may not be ensured, destabilizing the crankcase pressure control.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to prevent the instability of the pressure control in a crankcase by sending a working fluid having a relatively low oil mixing ratio to the pressure control valve so as to reduce the adhesion of oil to the valve body of the pressure control valve.
  • the working fluid can be, for example, a refrigerant for chlorofluorocarbon compressors or a refrigerant for CO 2 compressors.
  • the pressure control valve for supplying a working fluid compressed by the compression mechanism and relatively highly pressurized to the crankcase so as to control the pressure in the crankcase can be one for adjusting the opening rate of the supply passage to control the working fluid rate entering the crankcase (entry control) or the one for adjusting the opening rates of both the supply passage and the bleeding passage to control the pressure in the crankcase.
  • the compressor can particularly be of a reciprocating piston-operated variable capacity type including single swash plate, wobbling, and other similar types. The separated oil is led to low pressure chambers such as the crankcase and intake chamber.
  • the oil separation mechanism consists of an oil separation chamber in communication with an discharge chamber where the working fluid compressed by the compression mechanism is temporarily stored, and an oil separating tube protruding in the oil separation chamber for swirling the working fluid introduced from the discharge chamber and connecting the discharge outlet for discharging the working fluid outside the compressor and the oil separation chamber, and the introducing port is opened to the downstream side of said oil separating tube.
  • the oil separator is provided with a separate passage from the supply passage for supplying the oil separated in the oil separation chamber to low pressure chambers such as the crankcase and intake chamber.
  • the oil separation mechanism can be constituted of a muffler chamber formed in the housing, the muffler chamber and the discharge chamber into which the working fluid compressed by the compression mechanism is discharged are connected via a first communicating passage, and the muffler chamber and the discharge outlet for discharging the working fluid outside the compressor are connected via a second communicating passage, wherein the introducing port is opened to the downstream side of the muffler chamber.
  • the muffler chamber is capable of preventing the separated oil from being discharged through the second communicating passage and is in communication with a separate passage from the first and second communicating passages for supplying the separated oil from the muffler chamber to low pressure chambers such as the crankcase and intake chamber.
  • working fluid having a relatively low oil mixing ratio after oil is separated and removed therefrom by the oil separation mechanism, and is sent to the pressure control valve, thereby reducing the adhesion of oil to the valve body of the pressure control valve. Consequently, the valve opening/closing operation of the pressure control valve can be controlled in a desired manner, improving the controllability of the compressor.
  • the muffler chamber serves to attenuate the intake pulsation or discharge pulsation of the compressor and separate oil from the working fluid while the working fluid passes through there.
  • the separated oil is supplied to low pressure chambers such as the crankcase through a separate passage. Therefore, the muffler chamber also serves as the oil separation mechanism. Accordingly, the muffler chamber serving as the oil separation mechanism eliminates the provision of a separate oil separation mechanism for separating oil from the working fluid sent to the pressure control valve as described above and gives the compressor a relatively simple structure.
  • Fig.1 shows a reciprocating piston-operated variable capacity compressor 1 as an embodiment of a compressor 1 to which the present invention is applied.
  • the compressor 1 comprises a cylinder block 3, a front housing 4 secured to the front of the cylinder block 3, a rear housing 5 secured to the back (to the right in Fig.1 ) of the cylinder block 3 via a valve plate 26, and a driving shaft 6.
  • the cylinder block 3, front housing 4, valve plate 26, and rear housing 5 are joined and secured to each other by a fastening bolt 7 inserted in the axial direction of cylinder bores 18 described later, thereby constituting a nearly cylindrical metal housing 2.
  • the front housing 4 and cylinder block 3 forms a crankcase 8.
  • the driving shaft 6 is encased in the crankcase 8 with one end protruding from the front housing 4.
  • a clutch plate 10 is fixed to the portion of the driving shaft 6 that protrudes from the front housing 4 via an axial relay member 9.
  • a drive pulley 11 is rotatably fitted on a boss 4a of the front housing 4, facing the clutch plate 10.
  • the drive pulley 11 is rotatably fitted on the boss 4a via a bearing 12.
  • One end of the driving shaft 6 is air-tightly sealed by a shaft sealing device 14 provided between the front housing 4 and the driving shaft 6 and rotatably supported by the front housing 4 via a radial bearing 15 fitted on the outer periphery of the driving shaft 6.
  • the other end of the driving shaft 6 is rotatably supported by the cylinder block 3 via a radial bearing 17 housed in a supporting recess 16 of the cylinder block 3.
  • the cylinder block 3 has a supporting recess 16 for supporting the driving shaft 6 and multiple cylinder bores 18 around the supporting recess 16 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.
  • the cylinder bores 18 each house a single-ended piston 19 in a reciprocable manner.
  • a thrust flange 20 is fixed to and rotates with the driving shaft 6 within the crankcase 8.
  • the thrust flange20 is rotatably supported by the inner wall of the front housing 4 that is nearly perpendicular to the driving shaft 6 via a thrust bearing 21.
  • a swash plate 23 is coupled to the thrust flange 20 via a linking member 22.
  • the swash plate 23 is held via a hinge ball 24 provided on the driving shaft 6 and allowed to tilt.
  • the swash plate 23 rotates in sync with and together with the thrust flange 20.
  • the rim of the swash plate 23 is engaged with an engaging part 19a of the single-ended piston 19 via a pair of shoes 25 provided on the front and back.
  • the above described thrust flange 20, swash plate 23, and single-ended piston 19 constitute a compressor mechanism converting the rotation of the driving shaft 6 to compression of the working fluid.
  • the swash plate 23 rotates in sync with and together with the driving shaft 6.
  • the rotation is converted to the linear reciprocating motion of the single-ended piston 19 via the shoes 25.
  • the reciprocating motion of the single-ended piston 19 changes the capacity of the compression chamber 27 formed between the single-ended piston 19 and the valve plate 26 in the cylinder bore 18.
  • the rear housing 5 is joined to the cylinder block 3 via the valve plate 26 to form an intake chamber 29 and an discharge chamber 30 continuously formed around the intake chamber 29.
  • the valve plate 26 has an intake hole 31 connecting the intake chamber 29 and compression chamber 27 via a not-shown intake valve and an discharge hole 32 connecting the discharge chamber 30 and compression chamber 27 via a not-shown intake valve.
  • the rear housing 5 has on the side wall an installation bore 33 in which a pressure control valve 34 for controlling the pressure in the crankcase 8 in this embodiment is installed.
  • the pressure control valve 34 is described in detail later.
  • An oil separator 36 for separating oil mixed in the compressed working fluid discharged into the discharge chamber 30 is also provided in the rear housing 5.
  • the oil separator 36 consists of an oil separation chamber 38 in communication with the discharge chamber 30 via a discharge passage 37 and an oil separating tube 39 for swirling the working fluid discharged from the discharge chamber 30 into the oil separation chamber 38 via the discharge passage 37 and connecting an external cycle and the separation chamber 38.
  • the oil separation chamber 38 is a space in communication with an discharge outlet 40 for the connection to an external cycle and extended in the axial direction of the discharge outlet 40.
  • the oil separating tube 39 is inserted in a small-diameter part at the boundary between the discharge outlet 40 and the oil separation chamber 38 from the opening end of the discharge outlet 40.
  • the compressed working fluid is introduced into the oil separation chamber 38 from the discharge chamber 30 vi the discharge passage 37.
  • the introduced working fluid is led to the center of the rear housing 5 while swirling around the separating tube 39, during which oil mixed in the working fluid is separated.
  • the working fluid from which the oil is separated is discharged to an external cycle from the discharge outlet 40 through the separating tube 39.
  • the separated oil is supplied to low pressure chambers such as the crankcase 8 and intake chamber 29 via a lubricating oil passage 42.
  • the supply passage 44 for sending the working fluid to the pressure control valve 34 has an introducing port 45 that is opened to the downstream side of the downstream end of the separating tube 39 at the discharge outlet 40.
  • An supply passage 46 extends from the pressure control valve 34 to the crankcase 8 for sending the working fluid to the crankcase 8.
  • the valve plate 26 further has a bleeding passage 47 for releasing the working fluid in the crankcase 8 to the intake chamber 29.
  • the present embodiment shows a so-called entry control system in which the pressure control valve 34 is provided on the way of the supply passages 44 and 46 to control only the working fluid rate to be supplied to the crankcase 8.
  • a so-called entry and exit control system in which the opening rates of the supply passage and bleeding passage are controlled by the pressure control valve can also be used.
  • the working fluid from which oil is separated and removed while passing through the oil separator 36 is sent to the pressure control valve 34 from the introducing port 45 via the supply passage 44 and returned to the crankcase 8 via the supply passage 46, thus reducing the possible adhesion of oil mixed in the working fluid to the pressure control valve 34. Therefore, the opening/closing operation of the pressure control valve 34 can be controlled in a desired manner, improving the controllability of the compressor 1.
  • the compressor 1 does not have the oil separator 36.
  • This compressor 1 is described hereafter with reference to these figures. The same components as in the above embodiment are given the same reference numbers and their explanation is omitted.
  • the compressor 1 shown in Fig.2 has in the outer wall of the cylinder block 3 a muffler chamber 49 for attenuating the discharge pulsation of the compressor 1.

  • the muffler chamber side ends of the first and second communicating passages 50 and 51 are placed closely to each other nearly at the center in the circumferential direction on the discharge outlet side of the muffler chamber 49 and connected to the muffler chamber 49.
  • the valve plate 26 also has a through-hole 53 for connecting the first communicating passage 50 and muffler chamber 49 and a through-hole 54 for connecting the second communicating passage 51 and muffler chamber 49.
  • An supply passage 44 for sending the working fluid to the pressure control valve is provided.
  • the supply passage 44 has an introducing port 45 that is opened in the middle of the second communicating passage 51 located on the downstream side of the muffler chamber 49.
  • An supply passage 46 extends from the installation bore 33 to the crankcase 8 for sending the working fluid to the crankcase 8.

  • This embodiment shows a so-called entry control system in which the pressure control valve 34 is provided on the way of the supply passages 44 and 46 to control only the working fluid rate to be supplied to the crankcase 8.
  • a so-called entry and exit control system in which the opening rates of the supply passage and bleeding passage are controlled by the pressure control valve can also be used.
  • the radially inner wall of the compressor is closer to the center than the opening of the second communicating passage 51 so that the oil separated in the muffler chamber 39 does not flow out through the second communicating passage 51 and the end of the lubricating oil passage 42 is open in the radially inner wall of the compressor so that the separated oil is supplied to the shaft sealing device 14 and radial bearings 15 and 17.
  • the muffler chamber 49 also serves as an oil separation mechanism separating and removing oil from the working fluid.
