Definitions
- the present invention relates to a technical field of compressors, and more particularly to a variable-capacity cylinder with a sliding vane control structure, and a variable-capacity compressor.
- variable-capacity compressors A common structure of existing variable-capacity compressors is that a compressor body comprises a main cylinder and a variable-capacity cylinder, and the variable-capacity cylinder may be selectively operated or not operated, so as to achieve a change in a working displacement to meet different load requirements of a refrigeration system, thereby achieving a purpose of energy saving.
- a sliding vane, a cylinder, and a bearing and a division plate covering two ends of the cylinder form a sealed cavity at a tail of the sliding vane, and the sealed cavity may be selectively introduced with high-pressure/low-pressure gas; and a pin locking/unlocking device is provided on a side of the sliding vane, the device is consisted of a pin hole, a pin, a spring, etc., wherein a head of the pin communicates with the above-mentioned sealed cavity, a low pressure is introduced into a tail of the pin via a low-pressure passage, and the pin has a pre-approaching force approaching the sliding vane by means of a physical device (such as spring and magnet).
- a physical device such as spring and magnet
- the defects of the above-mentioned mode are as follows.
- high-pressure refrigerant gas needs to be introduced into the sealed cavity, the high-pressure refrigerant gas leading to discharge of refrigeration oil in the sealed cavity; in order to ensure that the pin is slidablely up and down in the pin hole, there is a certain clearance between the pin and the pin hole, so that a lubrication oil clearance seal cannot be realized; in addition, a viscosity of the refrigerant is much smaller than that of lubricating oil, and the clearance leakage speed is high.
- a solution in the prior art will have the following harmful effects: the leakage of the refrigerant from the sealed cavity to a gas inlet of the variable-capacity cylinder through a pin side clearance will be significantly increased, thereby resulting in a decrease in volumetric efficiency of the variable-capacity cylinder and a decrease in performance; in addition, the clearance size of different compressors cannot be completely consistent during mass production, which will lead to significant fluctuations in compressor refrigeration/heating capacity and is not conducive to controlling a quality stability of a compressor and an air-conditioning product.
- CN 103953544 A discloses a compressor and air conditioner.
- the compressor includes a low-pressure stage cylinder, a first high-pressure stage cylinder and a second high-pressure stage cylinder which are stacked, a partition is arranged between each two adjacent cylinders, the first and second high-pressure stage cylinders are both situated at a same side of the low-pressure stage cylinder or respectively situated at two sides of the low-pressure stage cylinder, the lower flange is situated below the low-pressure stage cylinder, the first high-pressure stage cylinder and the second high-pressure stage cylinder.
- a first sliding sheet is provided in the first high-pressure stage cylinder, a second sliding sheet is provided in the second high-pressure stage cylinder, and a third sliding sheet is provided in the low-pressure stage cylinder.
- the first and the second high-pressure stage cylinders are arranged in parallel, and the first and second high-pressure stage cylinders arranged in parallel are connected to the low-pressure stage cylinder in series.

- variable-capacity compressor is provided.
- the variable-capacity compressor is provided with a variable-capacity cylinder in the present application.
- the surface seal structure is provided between the pin and the low-pressure passage, a seal effect of the surface seal is much better than that of a clearance seal, thereby greatly reducing a leakage of a refrigerant. Consequently, an efficiency of the compressor is increased when the variable-capacity cylinder is in a working mode, and a performance of the compressor is optimized. Moreover, due to the provision of the surface seal structure in the present application, the seal effect is good. Thus, a processing precision requirement of the pin hole may be reduced, and a processing cost and assembly cost of the pin hole are reduced, thereby stabilizing a production quality of the compressor.
- a pump assembly of a variable-capacity compressor comprises a crankshaft 1, and an upper bearing 4 connected to the crankshaft 1, a lower bearing 5, a cover plate 7, and a first cylinder 2 and a second cylinder 3 sandwiched between the upper bearing 4 and the lower bearing 5.

- a second sliding vane groove is provided in the second cylinder 3
- a second sliding vane is provided in the second sliding vane groove
- a sealed cavity 18 is formed on a back of a second sliding vane 11 (one side on a right of the second sliding vane 11 in Fig.

- a control valve For example, preferably, a magnetic valve, a three-way valve or the like may be used as the control valve to control switching of the high/low-pressure gas introduced into the pressure switching pipe 12, so as to allow high-pressure or low-pressure gas to be introduced into the pressure switching pipe 12.
- the second sliding vane 11 When the high-pressure gas is introduced into the pressure switching pipe 12, the second sliding vane 11 can be pressed against a second rolling piston 9 under a pressure action of the introduced gas, and the second sliding vane 11 is in contact with an outer surface of the second rolling piston 9, so as to separate an interior of the second cylinder 3 into an intake chamber and a compression chamber, wherein the first rolling piston 8 and the second rolling piston 9 are fixedly mounted on an eccentric portion of the compressor crankshaft 1 and are eccentrically rotated in the cylinder by the compressor crankshaft 1, so as to compress refrigerant gas entering a cylinder cavity.
- a pin hole 17 is provided in the lower bearing 5.
- an axis of the pin hole 17 is parallel to an axis of the compressor crankshaft 1.
- An upper end of the pin hole 17 communicates with the sealed cavity 18.
- a low-pressure passage 15 (see Fig. 3 ) communicating with an air intake 16 is provided below the pin hole 17.
- a part of the low-pressure passage 15 is preferably provided on the cover plate 7.
- a pin 13 is provided in the pin hole 17, the pin 13 is movable up and down in the pin hole 17.
- a biasing member 14 is provided on a lower side of the pin 13, wherein the biasing member may be a physical device such as a spring. The biasing member 14 provides an upward biasing force for the pin 13.

- the pin 13 overcomes a pre-force of the biasing member 14 and a gas pressure of the low-pressure passage under the action of the high-pressure gas, so that the pin 13 moves downward and leaves the pin groove 111 on the second sliding vane 11, so that the pin 13 is at an unlocked position (the pin 13 is at a second position at this time) that makes the second sliding vane 11 unconstrained, the second sliding vane 11 is pressed against the second rolling piston 9 under the action of the high-pressure gas on the back thereof, and a head of the second sliding vane 11 is in contact with the outer surface of the second rolling piston 9, so that a normal compression process of the second cylinder 3 (variable-capacity cylinder) is implemented.
- the high-pressure refrigerant gas enters the air intake 16 of the second cylinder 3 via the clearance between the outer wall of the pin 13 and the inner wall of the pin hole 17 and the low-pressure passage 15 below the pin 13, the expansion of the high-pressure refrigerant gas causes actual reduction of the amount of gas circulation in the second cylinder 3 and repeated compression of the leaked gas, which not only reduces a cooling capacity, but also consumes additional power, thereby reducing the performance of the existing variable-capacity compressor during dual-cylinder operation.
- the present invention is an improvement on the basis of the variable-capacity compressor described in the related art, in which the variable-capacity compressor sliding vane control structure according to the present invention is provided, that is to say, the sliding vane control structure in the present invention is applied to the variable-capacity compressor having the above-mentioned construction and components.
- the sliding vane control structure for the variable-capacity compressor in the present invention will be described in detail below in order to avoid excessive repetition. The same parts as those described above will not be repeated.
- a second cylinder 103 of the variable-capacity compressor is provided above a lower bearing 105, and a cover plate 107 is provided below the lower bearing 105.
- a pin hole 117 formed in a stepped shape is provided in the lower bearing 105.
- An inner diameter of a portion, close to a lower end, of the pin hole 117 is smaller than an inner diameter of a portion of an upper side, and thus a step surface extending inward in a radial direction is formed at a portion, close to the lower end, of the pin hole 117.
- the step surface is provided with a seal gasket 109.
- the seal gasket 109 is preferably but not limited to a metal seal gasket or a rubber seal gasket.

- the seal gasket 109 is made of metal or rubber.
- a high-pressure refrigerant gas is introduced into a sealed cavity (not shown in the drawings) above the pin 113.
- the pin 113 overcomes the pre-force of the biasing member 114 and the gas pressure in the low-pressure passage, and the pin 113 moves downward in the pin hole 117 to the second position, so that the pin 113 is separated from the sliding vane of the second cylinder 103, while the lower end of the pin 113 is tightly pressed against an upper surface of the seal gasket 109, and a surface seal is formed at the lower end of the pin 113.
- the second cylinder 103 performs normal compression operation.
- the high-pressure refrigerant gas will flow downward along a clearance between the pin 113 and the pin hole 117, but because the lower end of the pin 113 is tightly pressed against the seal gasket 109, a surface seal structure is formed between the pin 113 and a step surface of the pin hole 17, so that a surface seal is formed between the clearance between the pin 113 and the pin hole 117 and the low-pressure passage 115 on the lower side of the pin 113.
- the seal performance of the surface seal structure is much better than that of a clearance seal between the pin 113 and the pin hole 117, so that the leakage amount of a refrigerant is greatly reduced, thereby effectively improving the performance of the compressor.

- the pin 213 overcomes the pre-force of the biasing member and the gas pressure in the low-pressure passage, so that the pin 213 moves downward in the pin hole 17 to the second position, thereby making the pin 213 separated from a sliding vane of the second cylinder 203, and the second cylinder 203 performs normal compression operation at this time.
- the high-pressure refrigerant gas will flow down along the clearance between the pin 213 and the pin hole 217, but due to a surface contact between a bottom end surface of the pin 213 and the seal division plate 218, a surface seal is formed at the lower end of the pin 213.
- the lower end of the pin 213 is tightly pressed against the upper end surface of the seal division plate 218, so that a surface seal is formed between the lower end of the pin 213 and the upper end surface of the seal division plate 218.

Description
- The present application claims benefit of
Chinese Patent Application No. 201510965018.X, entitled "sliding vane control structure for variable-capacity cylinder, variable-capacity cylinder and variable-capacity compressor", filed to China Patent Office on December 18, 2015 - The present invention relates to a technical field of compressors, and more particularly to a variable-capacity cylinder with a sliding vane control structure, and a variable-capacity compressor.
- A common structure of existing variable-capacity compressors is that a compressor body comprises a main cylinder and a variable-capacity cylinder, and the variable-capacity cylinder may be selectively operated or not operated, so as to achieve a change in a working displacement to meet different load requirements of a refrigeration system, thereby achieving a purpose of energy saving. Existing variable-capacity cylinders usually adopt a so-called pin-sliding vane switching mode: a sliding vane, a cylinder, and a bearing and a division plate covering two ends of the cylinder form a sealed cavity at a tail of the sliding vane, and the sealed cavity may be selectively introduced with high-pressure/low-pressure gas; and a pin locking/unlocking device is provided on a side of the sliding vane, the device is consisted of a pin hole, a pin, a spring, etc., wherein a head of the pin communicates with the above-mentioned sealed cavity, a low pressure is introduced into a tail of the pin via a low-pressure passage, and the pin has a pre-approaching force approaching the sliding vane by means of a physical device (such as spring and magnet). The defects of the above-mentioned mode are as follows. When it is required that the variable-capacity cylinder is normally operated, high-pressure refrigerant gas needs to be introduced into the sealed cavity, the high-pressure refrigerant gas leading to discharge of refrigeration oil in the sealed cavity; in order to ensure that the pin is slidablely up and down in the pin hole, there is a certain clearance between the pin and the pin hole, so that a lubrication oil clearance seal cannot be realized; in addition, a viscosity of the refrigerant is much smaller than that of lubricating oil, and the clearance leakage speed is high. Therefore, a solution in the prior art will have the following harmful effects: the leakage of the refrigerant from the sealed cavity to a gas inlet of the variable-capacity cylinder through a pin side clearance will be significantly increased, thereby resulting in a decrease in volumetric efficiency of the variable-capacity cylinder and a decrease in performance; in addition, the clearance size of different compressors cannot be completely consistent during mass production, which will lead to significant fluctuations in compressor refrigeration/heating capacity and is not conducive to controlling a quality stability of a compressor and an air-conditioning product.

- It should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right" and the like are used herein for the purpose of illustration only and are not intended to limit the structure of the present invention.
- As shown in
Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 , a pump assembly of a variable-capacity compressor comprises acrankshaft 1, and anupper bearing 4 connected to thecrankshaft 1, alower bearing 5, acover plate 7, and afirst cylinder 2 and asecond cylinder 3 sandwiched between theupper bearing 4 and thelower bearing 5. Thefirst cylinder 2 and thesecond cylinder 3 are separated by adivision plate 6, wherein thesecond cylinder 3 is a variable-capacity cylinder. Theupper bearing 4, thefirst cylinder 2, thedivision plate 6, thesecond cylinder 3, thelower bearing 5 and thecover plate 7 are sequentially mounted in an axial direction of acompressor crankshaft 1. A first sliding vane groove is provided in thefirst cylinder 2, a first slidingvane 10 is provided in the first sliding vane groove, and the first slidingvane 10 is pressed toward a firstrolling piston 8 under an action of a spring force of a spring provided on a back of the first slidingvane 10, and the first slidingvane 10 is in contact with an outer surface of the firstrolling piston 8, thereby separating an interior of thefirst cylinder 2 into an intake chamber and a compression chamber. A second sliding vane groove is provided in thesecond cylinder 3, a second sliding vane is provided in the second sliding vane groove, a sealedcavity 18 is formed on a back of a second sliding vane 11 (one side on a right of the second slidingvane 11 inFig. 1 ), apressure switching pipe 12 is provided on the sealedcavity 18, thepressure switching pipe 12 may be connected with an external gas source (not shown in the figure), and preferably, the external gas source may be high-pressure/low-pressure gas from a gas outlet/suction port of the compressor. Thepressure switching pipe 12 may be connected with the external gas source via a control valve. For example, preferably, a magnetic valve, a three-way valve or the like may be used as the control valve to control switching of the high/low-pressure gas introduced into thepressure switching pipe 12, so as to allow high-pressure or low-pressure gas to be introduced into thepressure switching pipe 12. When the high-pressure gas is introduced into thepressure switching pipe 12, the second slidingvane 11 can be pressed against a secondrolling piston 9 under a pressure action of the introduced gas, and the second slidingvane 11 is in contact with an outer surface of the secondrolling piston 9, so as to separate an interior of thesecond cylinder 3 into an intake chamber and a compression chamber, wherein the firstrolling piston 8 and the secondrolling piston 9 are fixedly mounted on an eccentric portion of thecompressor crankshaft 1 and are eccentrically rotated in the cylinder by thecompressor crankshaft 1, so as to compress refrigerant gas entering a cylinder cavity. - A
pin hole 17 is provided in thelower bearing 5. Preferably, an axis of thepin hole 17 is parallel to an axis of thecompressor crankshaft 1. An upper end of thepin hole 17 communicates with the sealedcavity 18. A low-pressure passage 15 (seeFig. 3 ) communicating with anair intake 16 is provided below thepin hole 17. A part of the low-pressure passage 15 is preferably provided on thecover plate 7. Apin 13 is provided in thepin hole 17, thepin 13 is movable up and down in thepin hole 17. A biasingmember 14 is provided on a lower side of thepin 13, wherein the biasing member may be a physical device such as a spring. The biasingmember 14 provides an upward biasing force for thepin 13. Preferably, agroove 131 is provided on the lower side of thepin 13, and the biasingmember 14 is provided between a top wall of the groove and thecover plate 7 below thepin 13. Correspondingly, a pin groove 111 (seeFig. 1 ) capable of matching with an upper end of thepin 13 is provided on a lower surface of the second slidingvane 11. When thepin 13 moves upward and the end protrudes from thelower bearing 5, the upper end of thepin 13 may extend into thepin groove 111 of the second slidingvane 11, so as to lock the second slidingvane 11 in a locking position (thepin 13 is at a first position at this time). - When a high-pressure gas is introduced into the
pressure switching pipe 12, thepin 13 overcomes a pre-force of the biasingmember 14 and a gas pressure of the low-pressure passage under the action of the high-pressure gas, so that thepin 13 moves downward and leaves thepin groove 111 on the second slidingvane 11, so that thepin 13 is at an unlocked position (thepin 13 is at a second position at this time) that makes the second slidingvane 11 unconstrained, the second slidingvane 11 is pressed against thesecond rolling piston 9 under the action of the high-pressure gas on the back thereof, and a head of the second slidingvane 11 is in contact with the outer surface of thesecond rolling piston 9, so that a normal compression process of the second cylinder 3 (variable-capacity cylinder) is implemented. - When a low pressure is applied to the
pressure switching pipe 12, a head (upper end) and a tail (lower end) of thepin 13 are pressure-balanced, and thepin 13 moves upward to approach the second slidingvane 11 under the pre-force of the biasingmember 14. When the second slidingvane 11 runs to a position, thepin groove 111 is opposite to the head of thepin 13, the head of thepin 13 is inserted into thepin groove 111 of the second slidingvane 11, so as to lock the second slidingvane 11. At this time, the second slidingvane 11 is separated from thesecond rolling piston 9, so that thesecond cylinder 3 cannot work normally, thereby unloading the second cylinder 3 (variable-capacity cylinder). - The existing structures as shown in
Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 have certain defects. When high-pressure gas is introduced into thepressure switching pipe 12, as shown inFig. 3 , high-pressure refrigerant gas in the sealedcavity 18 will discharge refrigeration oil in the sealedcavity 18. In order to ensure that thepin 13 is slidablely up and down in thepin hole 17, there must be a certain clearance between thepin 13 and thepin hole 17. In the case where the refrigeration oil is discharged, the clearance seal of lubricating oil cannot be achieved, so that the high-pressure refrigerant gas will leak outward in a direction indicated by an arrow inFig. 3 along a clearance between an outer wall of thepin 13 and an inner wall of thepin hole 17. The high-pressure refrigerant gas enters theair intake 16 of thesecond cylinder 3 via the clearance between the outer wall of thepin 13 and the inner wall of thepin hole 17 and the low-pressure passage 15 below thepin 13, the expansion of the high-pressure refrigerant gas causes actual reduction of the amount of gas circulation in thesecond cylinder 3 and repeated compression of the leaked gas, which not only reduces a cooling capacity, but also consumes additional power, thereby reducing the performance of the existing variable-capacity compressor during dual-cylinder operation. - The present invention is an improvement on the basis of the variable-capacity compressor described in the related art, in which the variable-capacity compressor sliding vane control structure according to the present invention is provided, that is to say, the sliding vane control structure in the present invention is applied to the variable-capacity compressor having the above-mentioned construction and components. The sliding vane control structure for the variable-capacity compressor in the present invention will be described in detail below in order to avoid excessive repetition. The same parts as those described above will not be repeated.
- As shown in
Fig. 4 , in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, asecond cylinder 103 of the variable-capacity compressor is provided above alower bearing 105, and acover plate 107 is provided below thelower bearing 105. Apin hole 117 formed in a stepped shape is provided in thelower bearing 105. An inner diameter of a portion, close to a lower end, of thepin hole 117 is smaller than an inner diameter of a portion of an upper side, and thus a step surface extending inward in a radial direction is formed at a portion, close to the lower end, of thepin hole 117. The step surface is provided with aseal gasket 109. Theseal gasket 109 is preferably but not limited to a metal seal gasket or a rubber seal gasket. Theseal gasket 109 is an annular seal gasket and is provided with a through hole in a center. Apin 113 provided with agroove 1131 on a lower side is provided in thepin hole 17, and a lower end surface of thepin 113 abuts against an upper surface of theseal gasket 109 on the step surface. Thegroove 1131 of thepin 113 is provided with a biasingmember 114 passing through a through hole on theseal gasket 109 and contacting thecover plate 107. The biasingmember 114 is preferably a spring for providing an upward biasing force for thepin 113. The lower end of thepin 113 communicates with a low-pressure passage 115 on thecover plate 107, and further communicates with anair intake 116 of thesecond air cylinder 103. Theseal gasket 109 is made of metal or rubber. - When the
second cylinder 103 of the variable-capacity compressor in the above embodiment of the present invention works normally, a high-pressure refrigerant gas is introduced into a sealed cavity (not shown in the drawings) above thepin 113. Under the action of the high-pressure refrigerant gas, thepin 113 overcomes the pre-force of the biasingmember 114 and the gas pressure in the low-pressure passage, and thepin 113 moves downward in thepin hole 117 to the second position, so that thepin 113 is separated from the sliding vane of thesecond cylinder 103, while the lower end of thepin 113 is tightly pressed against an upper surface of theseal gasket 109, and a surface seal is formed at the lower end of thepin 113. At this time, thesecond cylinder 103 performs normal compression operation. The high-pressure refrigerant gas will flow downward along a clearance between thepin 113 and thepin hole 117, but because the lower end of thepin 113 is tightly pressed against theseal gasket 109, a surface seal structure is formed between thepin 113 and a step surface of thepin hole 17, so that a surface seal is formed between the clearance between thepin 113 and thepin hole 117 and the low-pressure passage 115 on the lower side of thepin 113. The seal performance of the surface seal structure is much better than that of a clearance seal between thepin 113 and thepin hole 117, so that the leakage amount of a refrigerant is greatly reduced, thereby effectively improving the performance of the compressor. - As shown in
Fig. 5 , in another preferred embodiment of the present invention, asecond cylinder 203 of the variable-capacity compressor is provided above alower bearing 205, and aseal division plate 218 and acover plate 207 are sequentially provided below thelower bearing 205, wherein apin hole 217 is provided in thelower bearing 205, and apin 213 having agroove 2131 is provided in thepin hole 217. A biasingmember 214, such as a spring, capable of generating a pre-force is provided between a top wall of thegroove 2131 of thepin 213 and theseal division plate 218 below thepin 213. A first throughhole 219 is provided at a position, corresponding to thegroove 2131 in thepin hole 17, on theseal division plate 218. Preferably, a maximum size of the throughhole 219 in a horizontal plane is smaller than an outer diameter of thepin 213, so that a lower end of thepin 213 abuts against on an upper surface of theseal division plate 218. More preferably, the maximum size of the throughhole 219 in the horizontal plane is smaller than a maximum size of thegroove 2131 in the horizontal plane, so that a bottom of the biasingmember 214 abuts against the upper surface of theseal division plate 218. When the throughhole 219 is a circular hole, its maximum size is its diameter. A low-pressure passage 215 communicating with anair intake 216 is provided on thecover plate 207. Preferably, in order to make the low-pressure passage 215 communicate with theair intake 216 of thesecond cylinder 203, a second throughhole 220 is provided on theseal division plate 218. The low-pressure passage 215, the first throughhole 219 and the second throughhole 220 are not provided in a unique manner and may have various structural forms as long as the lower side of thepin 213 can communicate with theair intake 216 of thesecond cylinder 203. Preferably, theseal division plate 218 is machined or stamped modeling. - During normal operation of the
second cylinder 203 of the variable-capacity compressor in the above embodiment of the present invention, a high-pressure refrigerant gas is introduced into a sealed cavity (not shown) above thepin 213. Under the action of the high-pressure refrigerant gas, thepin 213 overcomes the pre-force of the biasing member and the gas pressure in the low-pressure passage, so that thepin 213 moves downward in thepin hole 17 to the second position, thereby making thepin 213 separated from a sliding vane of thesecond cylinder 203, and thesecond cylinder 203 performs normal compression operation at this time. The high-pressure refrigerant gas will flow down along the clearance between thepin 213 and thepin hole 217, but due to a surface contact between a bottom end surface of thepin 213 and theseal division plate 218, a surface seal is formed at the lower end of thepin 213. Under the action of a pressure difference between the two ends, the lower end of thepin 213 is tightly pressed against the upper end surface of theseal division plate 218, so that a surface seal is formed between the lower end of thepin 213 and the upper end surface of theseal division plate 218. The seal performance of the seal structure is much better than that of the clearance seal between thepin 213 and thepin hole 217, so that the leakage amount of a refrigerant is greatly reduced, thereby improving the performance of the compressor. - In the present application, since a surface seal structure is provided between a pin and a low-pressure passage, the seal effect of the surface seal is much better than that of the clearance seal, thereby greatly reducing the leakage of a refrigerant. Consequently, the efficiency of a compressor is increased when a variable-capacity cylinder is in a working mode, and the performance of the compressor is optimized. Moreover, due to the provision of the surface seal structure in the present application, the seal effect is good. Thus, the processing precision requirement of a pin hole may be reduced, and the processing cost and assembly cost of the pin hole are reduced, thereby stabilizing the production quality of a compressor.
