- the first cylindrical mounting groove 51 and the second cylindrical mounting groove 52 are both designed to be non-coaxial, which can greatly save the amount of materials used for the cylinder cover 5, thereby greatly reducing the production cost.
- the structural form of being non-coaxial also plays a foolproof function for assembly-line operations, which helps the cylinder cover 5 and the crankcase 1 to quickly and accurately realize the butt joint, and makes the process simpler and the production cost lower.
- each of the cylinder head components 4 can be assembled in the first cylindrical mounting groove 51 and matched with a cylindrical surface of the first cylindrical mounting groove 51.

- a positioning boss 55 is provided on the cylinder cover 5, and a recess 10 is formed in the crankcase 1. After the cylinder cover 5 is connected to the crankcase 1, the positioning boss 55 is embedded in the recess for quick assembly and positioning, wherein the positioning boss 55 has a dome that can guide the positioning boss 55 to quickly fit into the recess.
- the positioning boss 55 and the positioning post 54 can be separated or butted.
- the positioning boss 55 is located at the end of the positioning post 54, and the positioning boss 55 and the positioning post 54 are located at the same position, which is convenient for the design and molding of a mold of the cylinder cover 5.
- the positioning boss 55 also provides a guiding function for the cylinder head components 4, which makes the assembly of the cylinder head components 4 in the first cylindrical mounting groove 51 more convenient, and plays a foolproof role.
- a second mounting surface 16 is formed on the end surface of the crankcase 1 at an outer side of the annular boss 13.
- the second mounting surface 16 is formed by machining with a milling cutter, and the circular outer wall surface of the annular boss 13 of the crankcase 1 is formed by machining with the milling cutter at the same time.

- a first gap is left between the bottom of the second cylindrical mounting groove 52 and the first mounting surface
- a second gap is left between the top of the second cylindrical mounting groove 52 and the second mounting surface 16.
- the first gap and the second gap are not less than 0.1 mm, that is, no direct contact occurs. Therefore, it is ensured that only the bottom of the first cylindrical mounting groove 51 of the cylinder cover 5 is supported by the cylinder head components 4 and the crankcase 1, and no two or more supporting surfaces will appear.
- a plurality of supporting surfaces may cause a bad phenomenon of over-positioning, while a single supporting surface can ensure that the cylinder head components 4 obtain sufficient pressing force, to ensure the sealing performance of the cylinder. It can be ensured that no over-positioning phenomenon occurs, even if the cylinder head components 4 are tightened by the torque from cylinder cover 5 screws and the cylinder cover gasket 40 and the valve plate gasket 47 are compressed and deformed.
- the cylinder cover 5 and the crankcase 1 may be connected and locked by screws, bolts, buckles, etc.

- the connecting members may be screws or bolts.
- a part of a wall of at least one of the first connecting holes 56 bulges toward the inside of the first cylindrical mounting groove 51, and the edge of each of the cylinder head components 4 is provided with a second groove 48 that is matched with the bulged wall. That is, the second groove 48 of each cylinder head component 4 engages with the bulged wall to form a fourth positioning point.
- the combined action of the first positioning point, the second positioning point, the third positioning point and the fourth positioning point ensures the accuracy of the mounting and positioning of the cylinder head components 4, especially the accuracy of the mounting and positioning of the suction valve sheet and the valve plate gasket 47 that cannot be positioned by the first cylindrical mounting groove 51, and ensures the normal operation of the suction and exhaust functions of the cylinder head components 4.
- the cylinder cover 5 is provided with a flange 57 at one end that is matched with the crankcase 1, and the first connecting holes 56 are provided in the flange 57.
- the cylinder head components 4 are embedded in the cylindrical mounting groove of the cylinder cover 5, and the connecting members of the cylinder cover 5 are located outside the circular contour of the cylinder head components 4 as a whole.
- an acting force from the connecting members of the cylinder cover 5 is transmitted to the bottom of the first cylindrical mounting groove 51 of the cylinder cover 5 to press the cylinder head components 4. Therefore, the cylinder head components 4 and the cylinder cover 5 screws for fixing the cylinder cover 5 are not directly stacked in a thickness direction. Therefore, the cylinder cover 5 between the cylinder cover 5 screws and the cylinder head gasket 40 can have a smaller material thickness.
- the head of each cylinder head 5 screw can have a smaller distance from a first board of the crankcase 1.
- a safety distance between the head of each cylinder cover 5 screw and the casing is required to be greater than or equal to 4 mm.
- the compressor can be made smaller in a long axis direction (that is, an axial direction of the cylinder hole 11), such that the compressor has a more compact structure and lower cost.
- the cylinder head components 4 provided with the protrusions 44 will not increase the material usage quota. That is, no real input cost will be produced in the production process. Because the cylinder head components 4 are formed by punching a whole sheet, the process quota is determined by a smallest square area corresponding to a projection profile. Because each protrusion 44 in the embodiment of the disclosure has a sufficiently small external dimension, the protrusion 44 of each cylinder head component 4 is located at a corner of the square sheet without increasing any additional material quota, thereby reducing the production cost.
- the cylinder cover 5 is provided with an exhaust cavity 58 at the bottom of the first cylindrical mounting groove 51.

- An embodiment of the disclosure provides a compressor, and particularly relates to a reciprocating compressor. Referring to
FIG 1 , the reciprocating compressor includes a cylinder head assembly, a drivingassembly 2 and acasing 3. The cylinder head assembly and the drivingassembly 2 are provided inside thecasing 3. Anexhaust pipe 31 and asuction pipe 32 are provided on thecasing 3. When the reciprocating compressor works, a working fluid is continuously sucked by thesuction pipe 32 and discharged from theexhaust pipe 31 after being compressed. The cylinder head assembly includes acrankcase 1,cylinder head components 4 and acylinder cover 5. Thecrankcase 1 is provided with acylinder hole 11. The drivingassembly 2 includes a motor, a crankshaft, a connecting rod and a piston. In operation, the motor drives the crankshaft to rotate, an eccentric portion of the crankshaft drives the connecting rod to move, the connecting rod drives the piston to reciprocate in thecylinder hole 11 of thecrankcase 1, and meanwhile the working fluid is controlled by the cylinder head assembly to flow in and out to realize the compression of a refrigerant. - Referring to
FIGs 2 and 3 , thecrankcase 1 is provided with thecylinder hole 11 and anexhaust muffler cavity 12. Theexhaust muffler cavity 12 is cast on thecrankcase 1. Thecrankcase 1 is provided with anannular boss 13 at an end of thecylinder hole 11, An end surface of theannular boss 13 forms a first mountingsurface 14 which is closely fitted with eachcylinder head component 4. The first mountingsurface 14 is provided with a first exhaust throttle through-hole 15 which is communicated with theexhaust muffler cavity 12. According to the embodiment of the disclosure, an external exhaust muffler is replaced by theexhaust muffler cavity 12, which has a simple structure and lower process cost. - Referring to
FIG 3 , the outer circular surface of theannular boss 13 is not coaxial with thecylinder hole 11, and is biased toward the first exhaust throttle through-hole 15, such that theannular boss 13 has a larger contact surface on the side where the first exhaust throttle through-hole 15 is located, for fitting with thecylinder head component 4, so as to ensure sealing and ensure that no leakage occurs around the first exhaust throttle through-hole 15 during the exhaust process. Meanwhile, theannular boss 13 has a smaller thickness on the side away from the first exhaust throttle through-hole 15, thereby greatly saving the material consumption of thecrankcase 1 and greatly reducing the production cost. Referring toFIG 4 , compared with a coaxial structure design, the embodiment of the disclosure can save a material quota of a diagonally shaded area. - The
cylinder head components 4 are used to control a flow direction of the working fluid when the compressor works. Referring toFIG 2 , thecylinder head components 4 include anexhaust valve sheet 41, avalve plate 42 and asuction valve sheet 43. Thevalve plate 42 is provided with a suction hole and an exhaust hole. Theexhaust valve sheet 41 is attached to the outside of thevalve plate 42. Theexhaust valve sheet 41 is provided with an exhaust valve flap corresponding to the exhaust hole and a suction avoidance hole corresponding to the suction hole. Thesuction valve sheet 43 is attached to the inside of thevalve plate 42, and thesuction valve sheet 43 is provided with a suction valve flap corresponding to the suction hole and an exhaust avoidance hole corresponding to the exhaust hole. In some embodiments, thecylinder head components 4 also include acylinder cover gasket 40 and avalve plate gasket 47. Thecylinder cover gasket 40 is disposed between thecylinder cover 5 and theexhaust valve sheet 41, and thevalve plate gasket 47 is disposed between thesuction valve sheet 43 and thecrankcase 1. - Referring to
FIG 2 andFIG 5 , each of thecylinder head components 4 is of a circular design, which can save the overall size of the cylinder head component, and reduce the weight and the cost. An edge of eachcylinder head component 4 is provided with aprotrusion 44. Theprotrusion 44 is provided with a second exhaust throttle through-hole 45 corresponding to the first exhaust throttle through-hole 15. The respectivecylinder head components 4 are stacked. The second exhaust throttle through-holes 45 of respectivecylinder head components 4 are sequentially butted to form a duct through which the working fluid can flow. Eachprotrusion 44 can be set to be round, oval, square, specially-shaped, etc. Eachprotrusion 44 can keep a sufficient sealing width around the second exhaust throttle through-hole 45 of eachcylinder head component 4 to ensure that no leakage occurs around the second exhaust throttle through-hole 45 during the exhaust process. - Referring to
FIG 2 andFIG 6 , thecylinder cover 5 is provided with a firstcylindrical mounting groove 51 and a secondcylindrical mounting groove 52. The firstcylindrical mounting groove 51 has a diameter smaller than that of the secondcylindrical mounting groove 52, and the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51 is coaxial with thecylinder hole 11 and used to clamp eachcylinder head component 4 at the end of thefirst cylinder hole 11. The secondcylindrical mounting groove 52 is coaxial with an outer circular surface of theannular boss 13. After thecylinder cover 5 is connected to thecrankcase 1, the secondcylindrical mounting groove 52 is matched with the outer circular surface of theannular boss 13, and then mounted and positioned. Thecylinder cover 5 is connected to thecrankcase 1 and clamps the respectivecylinder head component 4 between the bottom of the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51 and the first mountingsurface 14, and the second exhaust throttle through-hole 45 is communicated with the first exhaust throttle through-hole 15 to form an exhaust passage. The firstcylindrical mounting groove 51 and the secondcylindrical mounting groove 52 are both designed to be non-coaxial, which can greatly save the amount of materials used for thecylinder cover 5, thereby greatly reducing the production cost. In addition, the structural form of being non-coaxial also plays a foolproof function for assembly-line operations, which helps thecylinder cover 5 and thecrankcase 1 to quickly and accurately realize the butt joint, and makes the process simpler and the production cost lower. - In some embodiments, referring to
FIG 7 , each of thecylinder head components 4 can be assembled in the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51 and matched with a cylindrical surface of the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51. When assembling, thecylinder cover gasket 40, theexhaust valve sheet 41 and thevalve plate 42 are positioned and assembled. That is, cylindrical outer circles of thecylinder cover gasket 40, theexhaust valve sheet 41 and thevalve plate 42 are directly mounted into the cylindrical surface of the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51 to form radial positioning. The centrally-biased second cylindrical mountinggroove 52 is provided at the same time. Thesuction valve sheet 43 and thevalve plate gasket 47 are positioned and assembled, and the secondcylindrical mounting groove 52 is then mounted and positioned on a circular outer wall surface of theannular boss 13 of thecrankcase 1. After thecylinder head components 4 are assembled, thecylinder cover 5 is fastened to thecrankcase 1 by connecting members, such as screws, to seal thecylinder hole 11. The assembly process is more orderly and the positioning accuracy is higher. - In order to maximally save the material quota, referring to
FIG 6 and FIG 7 , the cylindrical surface of the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51 and the cylindrical surface of the secondcylindrical mounting groove 52 are inscribed, which is the most material-saving solution geometrically. It can be understood that the structural design in which the cylindrical surface of the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51 and the cylindrical surface of the secondcylindrical mounting groove 52 are coaxial and inscribed can save materials. - In some embodiments, referring to
FIG 4 , on the first mountingsurface 14, the first exhaust throttle through-hole 15 is located in an extension line of a connecting line between the center of the outer circle of theannular boss 13 and the center of thecylinder hole 11. At this time, the first exhaust throttle through-hole 15 is located at the widest portion of theannular boss 13. In order to ensure a good contact seal, a minimum distance between the first exhaust throttle through-hole 15 and the outer circular surface of theannular boss 13 is not less than 2 mm, and a minimum distance between the first exhaust throttle through-hole 15 and thecylinder hole 11 is not less than 2 mm. By keeping a sufficient sealing width, it is ensured that no leakage occurs around the second exhaust throttle through-hole 45 during the exhaust process. - Further, referring to
FIG 7 , thecylinder cover 5 is provided with apositioning groove 53 arranged in a depth direction of the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51. Theprotrusion 44 of eachcylinder head component 4 engages with thepositioning groove 53 to form a first positioning point for positioning thecylinder head component 4. Thecylinder cover 5 is provided with apositioning post 54 which is arranged in the depth direction of the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51. Referring toFIG 5 , the edge of eachcylinder head component 4 is provided with afirst groove 46 which engages with thepositioning post 54 to form a second positioning point for positioning thecylinder head component 4. A third positioning point for positioning thecylinder head component 4 is formed at a position where the cylindrical surface of the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51 and the cylindrical surface of the secondcylindrical mounting groove 52 are inscribed. Thepositioning post 54, thefirst groove 46 and the inscribed position are distributed in a circumferential direction of the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51, and are spaced a certain distance apart. The combined action of the first positioning point, the second positioning point and the third positioning point ensures the accuracy of the mounting and positioning of thecylinder head components 4, especially the accuracy of the mounting and positioning of thesuction valve sheet 43 and thevalve plate gasket 47 that cannot be positioned by the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51, and ensures the normal operation of the suction and exhaust functions of thecylinder head components 4. - In some embodiments, referring to
FIG 3 andFIG 6 , apositioning boss 55 is provided on thecylinder cover 5, and arecess 10 is formed in thecrankcase 1. After thecylinder cover 5 is connected to thecrankcase 1, thepositioning boss 55 is embedded in the recess for quick assembly and positioning, wherein thepositioning boss 55 has a dome that can guide thepositioning boss 55 to quickly fit into the recess. - Further, the
positioning boss 55 and thepositioning post 54 can be separated or butted. For example, in the embodiment shown inFIG 6 , thepositioning boss 55 is located at the end of thepositioning post 54, and thepositioning boss 55 and thepositioning post 54 are located at the same position, which is convenient for the design and molding of a mold of thecylinder cover 5. In addition, thepositioning boss 55 also provides a guiding function for thecylinder head components 4, which makes the assembly of thecylinder head components 4 in the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51 more convenient, and plays a foolproof role. - Referring to
FIG 3 , a second mountingsurface 16 is formed on the end surface of thecrankcase 1 at an outer side of theannular boss 13. The second mountingsurface 16 is formed by machining with a milling cutter, and the circular outer wall surface of theannular boss 13 of thecrankcase 1 is formed by machining with the milling cutter at the same time. The circular outer wall surface of theannular boss 13 is not coaxial with thecylinder hole 11 of thecrankcase 1, and the axis of theannular boss 13 is biased toward the first exhaust throttle through-hole 15. - Referring to
FIG 8 and FIG 9 , after all thecylinder head components 4 are clamped, a first gap is left between the bottom of the secondcylindrical mounting groove 52 and the first mounting surface, and a second gap is left between the top of the secondcylindrical mounting groove 52 and the second mountingsurface 16. The first gap and the second gap are not less than 0.1 mm, that is, no direct contact occurs. Therefore, it is ensured that only the bottom of the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51 of thecylinder cover 5 is supported by thecylinder head components 4 and thecrankcase 1, and no two or more supporting surfaces will appear. A plurality of supporting surfaces may cause a bad phenomenon of over-positioning, while a single supporting surface can ensure that thecylinder head components 4 obtain sufficient pressing force, to ensure the sealing performance of the cylinder. It can be ensured that no over-positioning phenomenon occurs, even if thecylinder head components 4 are tightened by the torque fromcylinder cover 5 screws and thecylinder cover gasket 40 and thevalve plate gasket 47 are compressed and deformed. - The
cylinder cover 5 and thecrankcase 1 may be connected and locked by screws, bolts, buckles, etc. Referring toFIG 2, FIG 3 andFIG 6 , in some embodiments, thecylinder cover 5 is provided with a plurality of first connectingholes 56 in the peripheries of the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51 and the secondcylindrical mounting groove 52. Thecrankcase 1 is provided with second connectingholes 17 corresponding to the first connecting holes 56. Thecylinder cover 5 and thecrankcase 1 are connected by connecting members that pass through the first connectingholes 56 and the second connecting holes 17. The connecting members may be screws or bolts. After thecylinder head components 4 are assembled, thecylinder cover 5 is fastened to thecrankcase 1 by a plurality of connecting members to seal thecylinder hole 11. The plurality of connecting members are distributed on the periphery of thecylinder cover 5, which can provide a more uniform pressing force for thecylinder head components 4, achieve a better sealing effect, and avoid the leakage of the working fluid. - Further, in some embodiments, referring to
FIG 7 , a part of a wall of at least one of the first connectingholes 56 bulges toward the inside of the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51, and the edge of each of thecylinder head components 4 is provided with asecond groove 48 that is matched with the bulged wall. That is, thesecond groove 48 of eachcylinder head component 4 engages with the bulged wall to form a fourth positioning point. The combined action of the first positioning point, the second positioning point, the third positioning point and the fourth positioning point ensures the accuracy of the mounting and positioning of thecylinder head components 4, especially the accuracy of the mounting and positioning of the suction valve sheet and thevalve plate gasket 47 that cannot be positioned by the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51, and ensures the normal operation of the suction and exhaust functions of thecylinder head components 4. - The
cylinder cover 5 is provided with aflange 57 at one end that is matched with thecrankcase 1, and the first connectingholes 56 are provided in theflange 57. Thecylinder head components 4 are embedded in the cylindrical mounting groove of thecylinder cover 5, and the connecting members of thecylinder cover 5 are located outside the circular contour of thecylinder head components 4 as a whole. By means of the strengthened design of the peripheral structure of the first connectingholes 56 of thecylinder cover 5, an acting force from the connecting members of thecylinder cover 5 is transmitted to the bottom of the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51 of thecylinder cover 5 to press thecylinder head components 4. Therefore, thecylinder head components 4 and thecylinder cover 5 screws for fixing thecylinder cover 5 are not directly stacked in a thickness direction. Therefore, thecylinder cover 5 between thecylinder cover 5 screws and thecylinder head gasket 40 can have a smaller material thickness. - Therefore, the head of each
cylinder head 5 screw can have a smaller distance from a first board of thecrankcase 1. A safety distance between the head of eachcylinder cover 5 screw and the casing is required to be greater than or equal to 4 mm. In the embodiment of the disclosure, since the head of eachcylinder cover 5 screw is closer to the first board of thecrankcase 1, the compressor can be made smaller in a long axis direction (that is, an axial direction of the cylinder hole 11), such that the compressor has a more compact structure and lower cost. - Referring to
FIG 5 , thecylinder head components 4 provided with theprotrusions 44 will not increase the material usage quota. That is, no real input cost will be produced in the production process. Because thecylinder head components 4 are formed by punching a whole sheet, the process quota is determined by a smallest square area corresponding to a projection profile. Because eachprotrusion 44 in the embodiment of the disclosure has a sufficiently small external dimension, theprotrusion 44 of eachcylinder head component 4 is located at a corner of the square sheet without increasing any additional material quota, thereby reducing the production cost. - Referring to
FIG 6 , thecylinder cover 5 is provided with anexhaust cavity 58 at the bottom of the firstcylindrical mounting groove 51. Theexhaust cavity 58 is used to guide the working fluid discharged from thecylinder head components 4 into the second exhaust throttle through-hole 45. A throttlingcomponent 59 is provided in theexhaust cavity 58. Thethrottling component 59 includes an oblique baffle. Thethrottling component 59 can narrow a flow path of the working fluid and reduce the exhaust pulsation of the working fluid. An exhaust valvesheet limiting component 510 capable of limiting a stroke of the exhaust valve flap is provided in theexhaust cavity 58. - In some embodiments, referring to
FIG 2 ,FIG 6 andFIG 10 , thecylinder cover 5 is provided with a mountinghole 511. Theexhaust cavity 58 is divided by the wall of the mountinghole 511. Asuction muffler 6 is further provided. A gas outlet end of thesuction muffler 6 is provided in the mountinghole 511, and is pressed against thecylinder head components 4 by the elastic component 7. When the compressor works, the working fluid enters thesuction muffler 6 through thesuction pipe 32, and then enters thecylinder hole 11 after being muffled for noise reduction. The elastic component 7 can tightly press thesuction muffler 6 against thecylinder head components 4, and at the same time, ensure that thesuction muffler 6 are closely fitted with thecylinder head components 4 under vibration conditions, thereby avoiding the leakage of the working fluid. - Referring to
FIG 2 , a limitingblock 61 is arranged at the gas outlet end of thesuction muffler 6. The cylinder cover is provided with a limitinggroove 514. After thesuction muffler 6 is assembled, the limitingblock 61 is embedded in the limiting groove for positioning. - The elastic component 7 may be a compression spring, a clamp spring, an elastic pad, etc. Referring to
FIG 2 , in some embodiments, the elastic component 7 includes a clamp spring formed by bending an elastic sheet and having afirst clamping arm 71, a connectingportion 72 and a second clamping arm 73. Thefirst clamping arm 71, the connectingportion 72 and the second clamping arm 73 are shaped like M.The connecting portion 72 has a bent pressing part for pressing thesuction muffler 6.
