Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a reciprocating compressor for gas compression.
  • a piston reciprocates within a cylinder to compress gas within the cylinder.
  • a piston rod arranged to transmit a torque of a crankshaft to the piston as a force for reciprocation of the piston penetrates through a cylinder head that closes an opening portion formed at the lower end of the cylinder.
  • an annular rod packing prevents gas leakage through the boundary space between the piston rod and the cylinder head (see JP 2016-153637 A ).
  • US 1 526 909 A discloses a reciprocating compressor according to the preamble of claim 1. Further reciprocating compressors are known from WO 99/18354 A2 and US 3 282 218 A .
  • the rod packing is one of components most likely to be worn in the compressor.
  • an operator who replaces the rod packing separates a cylindrical adapter fixed to a head case in which a crosshead is accommodated and then uncouples a base end portion of the piston rod from the crosshead. Thereafter, the operator disassembles the upper structure separated from the crosshead and the head case to replace the worn rod packing with a new rod packing. That is, with the conventional compressor structure, the operator has to disassemble various components of the compressor to replace the rod packing. This means that it takes a long period of time to replace the rod packing.
  • the rod packing may be fixed upward within the compressor.
  • an operator who replaces the rod packing has to enter the compressor through a maintenance window provided on the exterior surface of the compressor to perform an operation of dismounting the rod packing.
  • a reciprocating compressor includes a piston rod coupled to a piston that is accommodated within a cylinder and a crank mechanism, and an annular rod packing having an inner peripheral edge in sliding contact with the outer peripheral surface of the piston rod to prevent gas within the cylinder from leaking through a gap around the outer peripheral surface of the piston rod.
  • the piston rod includes a first rod portion with which the rod packing is in sliding contact and a second rod portion provided in a manner extending from the leading end of the first rod portion and inserted through an insertion hole that is formed in the piston.
  • the piston is separable from the second rod portion.
  • the diameter of the second rod portion is equal to or smaller than the diameter of the first rod portion.
  • the operator can remove the piston from the second rod portion and then draw out the rod packing from the first rod portion toward the second rod portion.
  • the operator can replace the worn rod packing with a new rod packing while the piston rod and the crank mechanism are still coupled.
  • the above-described reciprocating compressor therefore requires only a smaller number of components to be disassembled than the conventional reciprocating compressor. As a result, the operator can replace the rod packing in a short period of time.
  • the operator can remove the piston from the second rod portion and then draw out the worn rod packing toward the second rod portion, there is no need to receive the heavy rod packing. The rod packing can thus be separated easily from the piston rod.
  • the reciprocating compressor may further include a nut threadably mounted on a male screw portion that is formed in a leading end portion of the second rod portion protruding from the piston to fix the piston to the second rod portion.
  • the leading end of the first rod portion may include an annular stepped surface defined by the diameter difference between the first rod portion and the second rod portion, which is thinner than the first rod portion.
  • the piston may be held between the stepped surface and the nut in the direction in which the piston rod is provided in an extending manner.
  • the stepped surface is define at the leading end of the first rod portion by the diameter difference between the first rod portion and the second rod portion. Since the stepped surface is defined in a manner holding the piston in cooperation with the nut in the direction in which the piston rod is provided in an extending manner, the piston, when the operator inserts the second rod portion therethrough, is hung and supported on the stepped surface. When the operator then threadably mounts the nut on the male screw portion of the second rod portion, the piston is held between the nut and the stepped surface in the direction in which the piston rod is provided in an extending manner to be fixed stably to the piston rod.
  • the piston When the operator loosens the nut, the piston can be separated from the piston rod. Since the second rod portion is thinner than the first rod portion, the rod packing in sliding contact with the first rod portion can then be drawn out toward the second rod portion. During this, since the piston rod and the crank mechanism can still be coupled, the above-described reciprocating compressor requires only a smaller number of components to be disassembled than the conventional reciprocating compressor. As a result, the operator can replace the rod packing easily in a short period of time.
  • the reciprocating compressor may further include a nut threadably mounted on a male screw portion that is formed in a leading end portion of the second rod portion to fix the piston to the second rod portion, and a ring member mounted on the piston rod in a manner holding the piston in cooperation with the nut in the direction in which the piston rod is provided in an extending manner.
  • the ring member may have a diameter greater than that of the first rod portion and is dismountable from the piston rod.
  • the piston when the operator inserts the second rod portion through the insertion hole thereof, is hung on the ring member and positioned in the direction in which the piston rod is provided in an extending manner.
  • the piston is held between the nut and the ring member in the direction in which the piston rod is provided in an extending manner to be fixed stably to the piston rod.
  • the piston When the operator loosens the nut, the piston can be separated from the piston rod. The operator can then dismount the ring member from the piston rod. Since the diameter of the second rod portion is equal to or smaller than the diameter of the first rod portion, the rod packing can then be drawn out toward the second rod portion. During this, since the piston rod and the crank mechanism can still be coupled, the above-described reciprocating compressor requires only a smaller number of components to be disassembled than the conventional reciprocating compressor. As a result, the operator can replace the rod packing easily in a short period of time.
  • the reciprocating compressor according to the invention further includes a cylinder head penetrated through by the piston rod while closing an opening portion formed at the lower end of the cylinder and formed with an accommodation chamber in which the rod packing is accommodated, and a flange arranged on the cylinder head in a manner penetrated through by the piston rod while closing the accommodation chamber.
  • the flange is separable upward from the cylinder head with being coupled to the rod packing within the accommodation chamber and penetrated through by the piston rod.
  • the cylinder head closes the opening portion that is formed at the lower end of the cylinder, gas within the cylinder is confined within the cylinder not to leak through the opening portion that is formed at the lower end of the cylinder.
  • the rod packing is accommodated in the accommodation chamber of the cylinder head to prevent gas leakage through a gap between the cylinder head and the piston rod.
  • the flange which is arranged on the cylinder head in a manner closing the accommodation chamber, is in proximity to the rod packing within the accommodation chamber. Since the flange is coupled to the rod packing, the operator who replaces the rod packing can integrally handle the flange and the rod packing.
  • the operator can integrally draw up and out the flange and the rod packing from the second rod portion after the piston is removed therefrom. That is, the operator can separate the flange and the rod packing from the piston rod without supporting the flange and the rod packing.
  • the above-described reciprocating compressor requires only a smaller number of components to be disassembled than the conventional reciprocating compressor. As a result, the operator can replace the rod packing easily in a short period of time.
  • the reciprocating compressor may further include a cylindrical member surrounding the piston rod below the cylinder and mounted in the cylinder head, and a fastener for fastening the flange to the cylinder head.
  • the fastener may include a head portion arranged to receive an operation for releasing the fastening between the flange and the cylinder head. The head portion may be exposed to the internal space of the cylindrical member and accessible through an opening window formed in the cylindrical member.
  • the operator can fasten the flange to the cylinder head using the fastener. Since the head portion of the fastener surrounds the piston rod below the cylinder and is exposed to the internal space of the cylindrical member that is mounted in the cylinder head, the operator can access the head portion of the fastener through the opening window that is formed in the cylindrical member to perform an operation of releasing the fastening between the flange and the cylinder head. As above, the operator can then separate the flange and the rod packing upward from the cylinder head with the piston rod penetrating therethrough. That is, the operator can separate the flange and the rod packing from the piston rod without supporting the flange and the rod packing.
  • the above-described reciprocating compressor requires only a smaller number of components to be disassembled than the conventional reciprocating compressor. As a result, the operator can replace the rod packing easily in a short period of time.
  • the reciprocating compressor may further include an annular gasket arranged to prevent the gas from leaking through the boundary between the cylinder head and the flange.
  • the gasket may be mounted on the flange.
  • the annular gasket is arranged to prevent the gas from leaking through the boundary between the cylinder head and the flange, the gas can be confined within the cylinder not to leak through the boundary between the cylinder head and the flange. Since the piston reciprocates within the cylinder, the gas confined within the cylinder is compressed by the piston.
  • the gasket Since the gasket is mounted on the flange, when the flange is separated upward from the cylinder head with the piston rod penetrating therethrough, the gasket can be separated upward from the cylinder integrally with the flange. No dedicated operation is needed for taking the gasket out of the reciprocating compressor, whereby the operator can replace the gasket and the rod packing easily in a short period of time.
  • the above-described reciprocating compressor can have a structure in which the rod packing can be replaced easily.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a reciprocating compressor (hereinafter referred to as "compressor 100") according to a first embodiment.
  • compressor 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 1 .
  • the compressor 100 includes a cylinder 110 having an approximately cylindrical shape.
  • the cylinder 110 is an approximately cylindrical component.
  • the vertical axis VAX shown in FIG. 1 is drawn to approximately coincide with the center axis of the cylinder 110.
  • the vertical axis VAX is orthogonal to opening portions formed at the upper end and the lower end of the cylinder 110.
  • the peripheral wall of the cylinder 110 is formed with an intake port 111 through which gas flows and two discharge ports 112, 113 through which gas compressed within the cylinder 110 is discharged.
  • the intake port 111 and the discharge ports 112, 113 are in communication with the internal space surrounded by the cylinder 110 through flow paths formed in the peripheral wall of the cylinder 110.
  • the compressor 100 includes two cylinder heads 121, 122.
  • the cylinder head 121 closes an opening portion formed at the upper end of the cylinder 110.
  • the cylinder head 122 closes an opening portion formed at the lower end of the cylinder 110.
  • the cylinder 110 and the cylinder heads 121, 122 define the internal space in which gas is compressed. Gas is taken into the internal space surrounded by the cylinder 110 and the cylinder heads 121, 122 through the intake port 111 to undergo compression processing in the internal space. The compressed gas is then discharged through the discharge ports 112, 113.
  • the compressor 100 includes a piston 130, a piston rod 140, a crank mechanism 150, and a flange 146.
  • the crank mechanism 150 is arranged to generate a drive force for reciprocation of the piston 130 arranged within the cylinder 110 along the vertical axis VAX.
  • the drive force generated by the crank mechanism 150 is transmitted to the piston 130 by the piston rod 140, which is coupled to the crank mechanism 150 and the piston 130. This allows the piston 130 to reciprocate within the cylinder 110 along the vertical axis VAX.
  • the flange 146 is used to couple the piston rod 140 to the crank mechanism 150.
  • the piston 130 is an approximately columnar member having a center axis approximately coinciding with the vertical axis VAX.
  • the internal space surrounded by the cylinder 110 and the cylinder heads 121, 122 is divided by the piston 130 into two compression chambers.
  • One of the two compression chambers is a space surrounded by the upper surface of the piston 130, the lower surface of the upper cylinder head 121, and the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder 110.
  • the piston 130 shown in FIG. 1 is at the top dead center, so that the space surrounded by the upper surface of the piston 130, the lower surface of the upper cylinder head 121, and the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder 110 is minimized.
  • the other of the two compression chambers is a space surrounded by the lower surface of the piston 130, the upper surface of the lower cylinder head 122, and the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder 110. Since the piston 130 shown in FIG. 1 is at the top dead center as described above, so that the space surrounded by the lower surface of the piston 130, the upper surface of the lower cylinder head 122, and the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder 110 is maximized. In this case, gas is taken into the space surrounded by the lower surface of the piston 130, the upper surface of the lower cylinder head 122, and the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder 110 through the intake port 111.
  • the crank mechanism 150 is arranged below the piston 130.
  • the crank mechanism 150 can include a crankshaft 151, a connecting rod 152, a crosshead 153, a hollow crankcase 154, and an approximately cylindrical head case 155.
  • the crankshaft 151 is accommodated within the crankcase 154 that is provided in a manner extending along a predetermined rotation axis RAX orthogonal to the vertical axis VAX.
  • the crankshaft 151 is double-supported by the crankcase 154 and arranged to rotate about the rotation axis RAX.
  • the lower end of the connecting rod 152 is coupled to the crankshaft 151.
  • the portion at which the crankshaft 151 and the connecting rod 152 are coupled is arranged to revolve around the rotation axis RAX.
  • the head case 155 has a center axis approximately coinciding with the vertical axis VAX.
  • the head case 155 is fixed to the upper surface of the crankcase 154.
  • the crosshead 153 is an approximately columnar member accommodated within the head case 155 and having a center axis approximately coinciding with the vertical axis VAX.
  • the crosshead 153 is coupled to the upper end of the connecting rod 152. Since the outer peripheral surface of the crosshead 153 is in proximity to the inner peripheral surface of the head case 155, the horizontal displacement of the crosshead 153 is limited by the head case 155. On the other hand, the head case 155 allows the vertical displacement of the crosshead 153.
  • the connecting rod 152 changes its posture to absorb the horizontal displacement component, so that only the vertical displacement component is transmitted to the crosshead 153.
  • the crosshead 153 can reciprocate within the head case 155 along the vertical axis VAX.
  • the piston rod 140 is a bar-shaped member provided in a manner extending along the vertical axis VAX. That is, the piston rod 140 has a center axis approximately coinciding with the vertical axis VAX.
  • the lower end of the piston rod 140 is fixed to the upper surface of the crosshead 153, while an upper portion of the piston rod 140 is coupled to the piston 130. Accordingly, the reciprocation of the crosshead 153 along the vertical axis VAX is transmitted through the piston rod 140 to the piston 130. This allows the piston 130 to reciprocate within the cylinder 110 along the vertical axis VAX.
  • the compressor 100 includes a cylindrical member 160 formed between the lower cylinder head 122 and the head case 155 in a manner surrounding the piston rod 140.
  • the cylinder head 122 and the head case 155 are fixed to the cylindrical member 160.
  • the cylindrical member 160 defines a storage space arranged to temporarily store gas unintentionally leaking out of the internal space of the cylinder 110.
  • Non-flammable purge gas e.g. nitrogen gas
  • the lower cylinder head 122 is arranged between the piston 130 and the crosshead 153 and therefore formed in a manner penetrated through by the piston rod 140.
  • the compressor 100 includes a rod packing portion 170 arranged to prevent gas leakage through a gap between the cylinder head 122 and the piston rod 140.
  • the rod packing portion 170 is formed in an annular shape and mounted in the cylinder head 122.
  • the rod packing portion 170 is one of components most likely to be worn in the compressor 100 because it is penetrated through by the piston rod 140 such that the inner peripheral edge of the rod packing portion 170 is in sliding contact with the outer peripheral surface of the piston rod 140 that is mounted on the cylinder head 122. It is therefore necessary to replace the rod packing portion 170 at a frequency higher than the other components.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic front view of the piston rod 140.
  • the piston rod 140 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 .
  • the piston rod 140 includes a first rod portion 141 and a second rod portion 142 extending upward from the leading end (i.e. upper end) of the first rod portion 141.
  • the first rod portion 141 is a component with which the inner peripheral edge of the rod packing portion 170 is in sliding contact.
  • the first rod portion 141 is arranged to transmit the reciprocation of the crosshead 153 to the second rod portion 142 and the piston 130.
  • the second rod portion 142 is used to couple the piston 130 to the piston rod 140.
  • the first rod portion 141 has an outer peripheral surface with which the inner peripheral edge of the rod packing portion 170 is in sliding contact.
  • the length of the first rod portion 141 can be set to have a value larger than the stroke length of the piston 130 and the piston rod 140 (i.e. the positional difference between their top dead center and bottom dead center). While the piston 130 and the piston rod 140 reciprocates between the top dead center and the bottom dead center, the outer peripheral surface of the first rod portion 141 continues to be in sliding contact with the inner peripheral surface of the rod packing portion 170. This results in preventing gas leakage from the cylinder 110 while the piston 130 and the piston rod 140 reciprocates between the top dead center and the bottom dead center.
  • a leading end portion of the first rod portion 141 is inserted in a recessed portion provided in a manner recessed upward in the lower surface of the piston 130. This results in that a lower portion of the piston 130 is coupled to the first rod portion 141.
  • the flange 146 is mounted on a base end portion (i.e. lower end portion) of the first rod portion 141 opposite to the leading end portion.
  • the first rod portion 141 is coupled to the crosshead 153 via the flange 146.
  • the second rod portion 142 is a bar-shaped component protruding upward from the leading end face (i.e. upper end) of the first rod portion 141 and inserted through an insertion hole that penetrates through the piston 130 along the vertical axis VAX. Unlike the first rod portion 141, the second rod portion 142 is entirely accommodated in the piston 130.
  • the second rod portion 142 has a diameter smaller than that of the first rod portion 141. Accordingly, an annular stepped surface 145 surrounding the base end of the second rod portion 142 (i.e. an end portion of the second rod portion 142 coupled to the first rod portion 141) is defined by the diameter difference between the first rod portion 141 and the second rod portion 142 as a leading end face (i.e. upper end face) of the first rod portion 141.
  • the piston 130 is hung on the stepped surface 145 and positioned in the direction in which the vertical axis VAX is provided in an extending manner.
  • the compressor 100 includes a nut 131 mounted on a leading end portion of the second rod portion 142.
  • the nut 131 is embedded in a recessed portion formed in the upper surface of the piston 130 and threadably mounted on a male screw portion 144 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the leading end portion (i.e. upper end portion) of the second rod portion 142.
  • the male screw portion 144 is formed at a position away upward from the stepped surface 145.
  • a tensile stress occurs on the second rod portion 142.
  • the tensile stress on the second rod portion 142 acts on the piston 130 as a compressive force between the nut 131 and the stepped surface 145. That is, the piston 130 is to be held firmly between the nut 131 and the stepped surface 145 in the direction in which the vertical axis VAX is provided in an extending manner. This results in that the piston 130 can be coupled firmly to the piston rod 140.

  • the seal ring portion 181 is an approximately annular flat plate. As shown in FIG. 3B , the seal ring portion 181 is disposed along the annular lower surface of the middle portion 128 appearing radially outside of the lower portion 127. The seal ring portion 181 is held between the annular lower surface of the middle portion 128 and a stepped surface 224 defined by the diameter difference between the accommodation chamber in which the rod packing portion 170 is accommodated and the recessed portion in which the flange 124 is fitted.

  • the multiple protruding pieces 182 protrude from the inner peripheral edge of the seal ring portion 181 toward the vertical axis VAX.
  • the multiple protruding pieces 182 are fitted into the groove portion 222, and the gasket 180 is engaged with the flange 124.

  • the operator with a tool can access the head portions 223 of the fasteners 125 through the opening window 161 to loosen the fasteners 125.
  • the operator dismounts the cylinder head 121 from the upper end of the cylinder 110 (i.e. one of the end portions of the cylinder 110 farther from the crank mechanism 150).
  • the operator can then loosen the nut 131 mounted on the upper end of the piston rod 140 to separate the piston 130 from the piston rod 140.
  • the operator can draw the flange 124 upward along the piston rod 140.
  • the rod packing portion 170 is integrated with the flange 124 using the multiple coupling screws 172, when the flange 124 is drawn upward, the rod packing portion 170 can also be drawn upward together with the flange 124.
  • the gasket 180 which is engaged with the flange 124 as above, is also to be drawn up together with the flange 124. Since the second rod portion 142 of the piston rod 140 is thinner than the first rod portion 141 and the cylinder head 121, the nut 131, and the piston 130 are removed, the portion of the second rod portion 142 above the first rod portion 141 has a diameter equal to or smaller than the inside diameter of the flange 124, the rod packing portion 170, and the gasket 180. The flange 124, the rod packing portion 170, and the gasket 180 can thus be drawn up smoothly and out of the upper end of the second rod portion 142.
  • the compressor 100 is arranged such that the rod packing portion 170 is taken out through a smaller number of disassembling steps, the operator can replace the rod packing portion 170 in a short period of time.
  • the gasket 180 is mounted on the flange 124 to which the rod packing portion 170 is coupled, the operator can also take out the gasket 180 simultaneously with the flange 124. No dedicated operation is needed for taking out the gasket 180, whereby the rod packing portion 170 can be replaced efficiently.
  • the flange 124 which is hung on the cylinder head 122 as above, cannot fall off the cylinder head 122 even after the multiple fasteners 125 are removed. It is therefore possible for the operator to safely accomplish a disassembling operation for replacing the rod packing portion 170.
  • the operator aligns the protruding pieces 182 of the gasket 180 with the notched portions formed in the flange 124 and then rotates the gasket 180 about the vertical axis VAX to fit the protruding pieces 182 into the groove portion 222 formed in the flange 124.
  • the operator may snap-fit the protruding pieces 182 into the groove portion 222 without aligning the protruding pieces 182 with the notched portions formed in the flange 124. Accordingly, the notched portions may not be formed in the gasket 180.
  • the protruding pieces 182 each have a fan shape.
  • the protruding pieces may have another shape.
  • the protruding pieces may be an annular portion protruding inward from the seal ring portion 181 that is held between the cylinder head 121 and the flange 124.

  • the rod packing portion 170 is in sliding contact with the first rod portion 141A.

  • the piston rod 140A is reinforced by the ring member 190 over a section from a position below the stepped surface 145 to the upper end of the male screw portion 147 above the stepped surface 145. Since the ring member 190 can receive a force from the piston 130A, the piston rod 140A cannot receive an excessively strong force around the stepped surface 145.

  • the operator then inserts the second rod portion 142A through the insertion hole of the piston 130A. Consequently, the upper end face of the ring member 190 comes into contact with the top surface of the recessed portion of the piston 130A so that the piston 130A is positioned in the direction in which the vertical axis VAX is provided in an extending manner.
  • the operator then threadably mount the nut 131 on the male screw portion 144.

Accordingly, in the above-described embodiments, the boundary between the first rod portion and the second rod portion is not limited to have a particular shape.
  • the ring member 190 is immersed in the recessed portion that is formed in the lower surface of the piston 130A. This causes the opening edge of the insertion hole appearing on the lower surface of the piston 130A to come into contact with the peripheral surface of the ring member 190, whereby the ring member 190 can receive a strong force from the opening edge of the insertion hole, while the piston rod 140A cannot receive a strong force from the opening edge of the insertion hole directly.
