Definitions
- the present invention relates to a scroll fluid machine.
- a scroll fluid machine in which a fixed scroll member and an orbiting scroll member each having a spiral wall body provided on an end plate are meshed with each other and an orbiting and revolving motion is performed to compress or expand a fluid.
- a scroll compressor in the scroll fluid machine is an apparatus that compresses a refrigerant circulating in a refrigeration cycle applied to an air conditioner, for example.
- a two-stage compression refrigeration cycle may be used in which a refrigerant is compressed in two stages to improve performance of a heat pump and improve the coefficient of performance (COP).
- an economizer gas-liquid separator
- Such a refrigeration cycle is also referred to as a gas injection cycle or an economizer cycle.
- one of the following three types is required as a structure of the compressor.
- a two-stage compressor in which a high-stage compression portion and a low-stage compression portion are housed in a single compressor, an intermediate-pressure refrigerant is introduced between a discharge side of the low-stage compression portion and a suction side of the high-stage compression portion.
- Two single-stage compressors with only one compression portion are connected in series, and an intermediate-pressure refrigerant is introduced between a discharge side of the low-stage compressor and a suction side of the high-stage compressor.
- an intermediate-pressure refrigerant is introduced in the middle of a compression process of the compression portion.
- PTL 2 discloses a scroll type compressor with fixed and orbiting scrolls provided with steps which delimit different axial height interfitting wrap zones.
- a wall-body stepped part is formed at an upper edge of a wall body of a scroll compressor, and, on the wall body, a higher part is formed to have a higher height from the wall-body stepped part toward a center in a spiral direction and a lower part is formed to have a lower height toward an outer peripheral end.
- An end-plate stepped part is formed on one side surface of an end plate on which the wall body is erected, and, on the one side surface, a low surface part is formed to have a lower surface from the end-plate stepped part toward a center in the spiral direction and a high surface part is formed to have a high surface toward the outer peripheral end.
- the end-plate stepped part is formed at a position opposite to the wall-body stepped part.
- a fluid supply portion is provided in a region of the low surface part in the vicinity of the end-plate stepped part to supply a fluid having a pressure higher than a fluid pressure in a compression chamber into the compression chamber.
- the lower part and the higher part are switched or the high surface part and the low surface part are switched from the outer peripheral end side in the spiral direction toward the center, so that the change in volume is adjusted only by the height and position of the step. Therefore, it is difficult to provide a section where the volume is substantially constant, and the degree of freedom is low during setting of an orbiting angle range of the section where the volume is substantially constant.
- the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a scroll fluid machine capable of reliably introducing an intermediate-pressure refrigerant during a compression process or an expansion process.
- a scroll fluid machine of the present invention employs the following solutions.
- a scroll compressor includes: a first scroll member in which a first wall body having a spiral shape is provided on a first end plate; and a second scroll member in which a second wall body having a spiral shape is provided on a second end plate disposed so as to face the first end plate, the second scroll member being configured to perform a relative orbiting and revolving motion such that the second wall body is meshed with the first wall body to form a sealed space, wherein after sealing of the sealed space is started, a first region is set in which a volume change of the sealed space is gradual or substantially constant, at least one of the first end plate and the second end plate includes a first wall-body inclined part in which a height of the wall body continuously increases from an outer peripheral side to an inner peripheral side in a spiral direction, at least one of the first wall body and the second wall body includes a first end-plate inclined part in which a tooth bottom opposite to a tooth tip of the first wall-body inclined part is inclined according to an inclination of the first wall-body inclined
- the first scroll member and the second scroll member relatively perform an orbiting and revolving motion, and the second wall body is meshed with the first wall body to form the sealed space. Then, after the sealing of the sealed space is started by the orbiting and revolving motion, the first region is set in which the volume change of the sealed space is gradual or substantially constant.
- the height of the wall body in the first wall-body inclined part continuously increases from the outer peripheral side to the inner peripheral side in the spiral direction, and the tooth bottom of the first end-plate inclined part opposite to the tooth tip of the first wall-body inclined part is inclined according to the inclination of the first wall-body inclined part.
- the width of the sealed space decreases according to the spiral shape of the wall body during the orbiting and revolving motion, and the height of the sealed space, that is, the distance between the opposing surfaces of the end plates increases.
- at least a part of the first region where the volume change of the sealed space is gradual or substantially constant is set by the positions and the shapes of the first wall-body inclined part and the first end-plate inclined part.
- the height of the wall body continuously increases, so that fluid leakage can be reduced compared with the conventional stepped scroll fluid machine in which a stepped part is provided on the wall body and the tooth bottom.
- the inclinations of the first wall-body inclined part and the first end-plate inclined part are not limited to a smoothly connected inclination, but may include a form that is visually recognized as being continuously inclined as viewed in the entire first wall-body inclined part in which small steps are connected in the form of steps.
- the first wall-body inclined part and the first end-plate inclined part may be provided on both the first scroll member and the second scroll member, or may be provided on any one of both scroll members.
- the other wall body and one end plate may be flat, or may have a shape combined with the stepped shape of the related art.
- a fluid supply portion may be provided on the first end plate or the second end plate to supply a fluid having a pressure higher than a fluid pressure in the sealed space into the sealed space, and the fluid supply portion may be provided in the first region.
- the fluid supply portion is provided on the first end plate or the second end plate, and the fluid supply portion supplies the fluid having the pressure higher than the fluid pressure in the sealed space into the compressor chamber. Then, since the fluid supply portion is provided in the first region where the volume change of the sealed space is gradual or substantially constant, the fluid can be supplied to the sealed space while the pressure difference from the fluid to be supplied is maintained at a predetermined value or more in the process where the increase in pressure in the sealed space is gradual or substantially constant.
- a second region, in which a volume of the sealed space decreases may be set before the first region, and a third region, in which the volume of the sealed space decreases, may be set behind the first region.
- the second region in which the volume of the sealed space decreases
- the second region is set before the first region, so that the pressure in the sealed space increases as the fluid moves toward the inner peripheral side in the second region before the first region.
- the pressure-increased fluid moves toward the inner peripheral side in the first region, the pressure in the sealed space is kept substantially constant.
- the third region in which the volume of the sealed space decreases, is set behind the first region, the pressure in the sealed space increases again as the fluid moves toward the inner peripheral side in the third region behind the first region.
- At least one of the first wall body and the second wall body may include a second wall-body inclined part in which a height of the wall body continuously decreases from the outer peripheral side to the inner peripheral side in the spiral direction
- at least one of the first wall body and the second wall body may include a second end-plate inclined part in which the tooth bottom opposite to the tooth tip of the first wall-body inclined part is inclined according to an inclination of the second wall-body inclined part
- at least a part of each of the second region and the third region may be set by positions and shapes of the second wall-body inclined part and the second end-plate inclined part.
- the height of the wall body in the second wall-body inclined part decreases from the outer peripheral side to the inner peripheral side, and the tooth bottom of the second end-plate inclined part opposite to the tooth tip of the second wall-body inclined part is inclined according to the inclination of the second wall-body inclined part. Accordingly, at least a part of the each of the second region and the third region where the volume of the sealed space decreases is set by the positions and the shapes of the second wall-body inclined part and the second end-plate inclined part.
- the fluid sucked from the outer peripheral side is not only compressed by the reduction of the width of the sealed space corresponding to the spiral shape of the wall body, but also further compressed by the reduction of the height of the sealed space, that is, the distance between the opposing surfaces of the end plates.
- the height of the sealed space that is, the distance between the opposing surfaces of the end plates.
- a height of a tooth tip at an outer peripheral side end of the second wall-body inclined part disposed closer to the outer peripheral side compared with the first wall-body inclined part may be equal to a height of a tooth tip at an inner peripheral side end of the first wall-body inclined part.
- a height of a tooth bottom at an outer peripheral side end of the second end-plate inclined part disposed closer to the outer peripheral side compared with the first end-plate inclined part may be equal to a height of a tooth bottom at an inner peripheral side end of the first end-plate inclined part.
- tip seals may be provided at the tooth tips of the first wall body and the second wall body, respectively, to seal the fluid by contacting with the tooth bottoms opposite to the tooth tips.
- a coating may be provided on at least one of the tooth tips of the first wall body and the second wall body and the tooth bottoms opposite to the tooth tips.
- the coating is provided on at least one of the tooth tips of the first wall body and the second wall body and the tooth bottoms opposite to the tooth tips, and thus it is possible to compensate the machining variation of the inclined part, which is difficult to obtain the machining accuracy, by the film thickness of the coating. Thereby, it is possible to further prevent the fluid leakage.
- wall-body flat parts which do not change in height, may be provided on outermost peripheral parts and/or innermost peripheral parts of the first wall body and the second wall body, and end-plate flat parts corresponding to the wall-body flat parts may be provided on the first end plate and the second end plate.
- the flat parts are provided on the outermost peripheral parts and/or the innermost peripheral parts of the wall body and the end plate, so that the shape measurement is performed with high accuracy. Thereby, it becomes easy to manage the size and tip clearance of the scroll shape.
- the wall-body flat parts and the end-plate flat parts may be provided over a region of 180° around a center of the first scroll member or the second scroll member.
- the wall-body flat part and the end-plate flat part are preferably within the region of 180°.
- the region of 180° is not strict, and an angle slightly exceeding 180° is allowed within a range where the fluid leakage does not increase.
- the intermediate-pressure refrigerant can be reliably introduced during the compression process, and the pressure increase in the sealed space can be prevented.
- the efficiency of the compressor can be improved. Since the height of the wall body continuously increases, fluid leakage can be reduced compared with the conventional stepped scroll fluid machine in which a stepped part is provided on the wall body and the tooth bottom.
