Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cylinder head assembly for an encapsulated refrigerant compressor comprising
  • Encapsulated, especially hermetically sealed, refrigerant compressors have been known for a long time and are mainly used in refrigeration cabinets, such as refrigerators or refrigerated shelves, but can also be used in mobile appliances.
  • the refrigerant process as such has also been known for a long time. Refrigerant is thereby heated by energy absorption from the space to be cooled in an evaporator and finally superheated and pumped to a higher pressure level using the refrigerant compressor having a cylinder and a reciprocating piston.
  • the refrigerant is cooled via a condenser and is conveyed back into the evaporator via a throttle, via which throttle the pressure is reduced and the refrigerant is further cooled down, before the cycle starts anew.
  • the path of the (usually gaseous) refrigerant through the compressor can be described as follows:
  • the refrigerant enters a compressor shell of the refrigerant compressor, which compressor shell encapsulates a pump unit of the refrigerant compressor, through a suction pipe, which is in the operating state connected to the evaporator of the refrigerant appliance.
  • the refrigerant is sucked through a suction muffler, a suction opening of a valve plate, which suction opening is released by a suction valve spring, into a cylinder of the pump unit of the refrigerant compressor.
  • the suction is caused by linear movement of a piston inside the cylinder.
  • the refrigerant is compressed within the cylinder by the linear movement of the piston until a discharge valve spring releases a discharge opening of the valve plate.
  • the so compressed refrigerant then flows through the discharge opening of the valve plate into a discharge muffler and leaves the compressor shell through a discharge pipe, which is connected to the discharge muffler by a discharge connection tube.
  • the discharge tube is in the operating state connected to the condenser of the refrigerant appliance.
  • the pump unit comprises a cranktrain, which includes the piston and is causing the linear movement of the piston inside the cylinder, a crankcase, in which a crankshaft of the cranktrain is mounted, the crankcase also having a cylinder housing, an electric drive unit, which comprises a rotor and a stator, and a cylinder head assembly.
  • the cylinder head assembly includes the valve plate, the suction valve spring, the discharge valve spring, the suction muffler and the discharge muffler.
  • the pump unit is supported within the compressor shell on a plurality of support spring assemblies, preferably on four support spring assemblies.
  • the shell usually comprises a lower shell part and an upper shell part, which are welded together.
  • the discharge pipe and the suction pipe as well as a maintenance pipe (also known as service pipe) are hermetically connected to the shell.
  • the discharge pipe, the suction pipe and the maintenance pipe are also called discharge connector, suction connector and maintenance connector as they are configured to be connected with respective elements with the refrigerant appliance during assembly and/or in the operation state.
  • the movement of the piston is caused by rotation of the crankshaft, wherein the piston is connected to a crank-pin of the crankshaft via a connecting rod.
  • the electric drive unit is required to facilitate the rotation of the crankshaft, wherein the rotor is fixed to the crankshaft.
  • an electronic control unit is mounted to an outside surface of the compressor shell, wherein the stator is connected to an electric pass through element (also known as “fusite") via an inner harness and the electronic control unit is connected to the electric pass through element via an outer harness.
  • the electronic control unit powers the stator and thereby controls the rotational speed of the pump unit of the refrigerant compressor.
  • the cylinder head assembly shall ensure a simple and safe installation and be economical to manufacture.
  • the compressor should perform efficiently over long operation periods. Also the noise level of the compressor, caused by the cylinder head assembly, shall be as low as possible.
  • the welded joint between the suction valve spring and the valve plate as well as between the discharge valve spring and the valve plate leads to a simple, yet robust, way to assemble these parts of the cylinder head assembly. Due to the welded joint, the suction valve spring and the discharge valve spring always cover the corresponding suction and discharge opening of the valve plate with a perfect fit, even after operations over a long period of time. I.e. even after a long period of operation, the compressor still works efficiently.
  • the valve plate can have corresponding indentations and / or grooves located below the suction valve spring and /or the discharge valve spring, which are configured such that a surface of both springs facing away from the valve plate lies in substantially the same plane as a surface of the valve plate.
  • the indentations and / or grooves thus ensure that
  • the suction valve spring has a suction spring body
  • the suction spring body thus comprises three sections, namely
  • the different sections of the suction valve plate can be defined by a linear cut-out, i.e. a cut out that follows a straight and / or curved line. Due to the inherent flexibility of the metal disk, because of its material properties (e.g. its spring constant) and the thickness, the valve reed section is flexible in such a way that it opens and closes the suction opening of the valve plate while being hinged against the hinge section.
  • suction spring body provides a robust element that allows on the one hand an easy connection to the valve plate, while ensuring optimum opening and closing of the suction opening on the other hand.
  • an outer shape of the suction spring body corresponds to an outer shape of the valve plate at least in sections.
  • the suction spring body and the valve plate can be arranged congruently at least in sections.
  • all circular sections of the valve plate contour correspond with matching circular sections of the suction spring body.
  • the suction reed valve section has a second cut-out, which second cut-out is located between a segment of the suction reed valve section positioned above the suction opening and the hinge section.
  • the use of the second cut-out results in a better flow pattern of the refrigerant in the area of the suction opening with significantly less turbulence, since in addition to the gap between the valve plate and the suction valve spring, which gap is created when the suction valve spring opens, there is another opening, namely the second cut-out, through which refrigerant can flow from the suction muffler into the cylinder.
  • valve plate has a first positioning protrusion, which first positioning protrusion protrudes from a circumferential surface of the valve plate and that the static mounting section has a second positioning protrusion, which second positioning protrusion of the suction valve spring is matching the first protrusion of the valve plate.
  • the suction spring body has a third cut-out for the discharge opening. This design of the suction spring body ensures that, despite the suction spring body being a flexible metal disk, it has a certain stability and allows a firm connection between the suction spring body and the valve plate as well as precise positioning.
  • the first cut-out and the third cut-out are overlapping, which allows a cost-effective and simple production of the suction valve spring.
  • the valve plate has at least one first positioning protrusion for aligning the valve plate with respect to a cylinder of the refrigerant compressor, wherein the at least one first positioning protrusion is configured to interact with a matching positioning recess of a valve plate seat of a cylinder housing of the refrigerant compressor.
  • the first positioning protrusion of the valve plate interacts with two further elements of the cylinder head assembly of this invention, namely with the second positioning protrusion of the suction valve spring and with the recess of the cylinder housing, and, thereby, allows an easy assembly and relative positioning of these elements.
  • the valve plate has at least two centring protrusions for centring the valve plate in a valve plate seat of a cylinder housing of the refrigerant compressor, which at least two centring protrusions are located at a circumferential surface of the valve plate. I.e. the centring protrusions contact an inner circumferential surface of the valve plate seat located in the cylinder housing.
  • valve plate has three centring protrusions, which are preferably evenly distributed around the circumference of the valve plate.
  • the discharge valve spring is configured as a flat spring
  • the discharge valve spring is smaller and has less material compared to the suction valve spring.
  • the discharge valve spring thus comprises two sections, namely
  • This design of the discharge valve spring provides a robust element that allows on the one hand an easy connection to the valve plate while ensuring optimum opening and closing of the discharge opening.
  • valve plate has a first recess located on the discharge side, wherein the first recess is positioned between the discharge opening and the mounting section of the discharge valve spring.
  • the recess ensures that particles, such as chips which may be formed in or transported into the cylinder during operation, can collect therein, whereby the closing of the discharge opening by means of the discharge valve spring is not hindered. This ensures an efficient operation and an increased lifecycle time.
  • the mounting assembly comprises a clamping element for clamping the valve plate to the cylinder housing of the refrigerant compressor and a fixing element for pressing the suction connector head and the discharge connector head to the valve plate, wherein the fixing element is mounted on the clamping element.
  • the clamping element known from the prior art which is fixed to the cylinder by means of screws, can be replaced by lighter and easier-to-install components with a higher clamping force.
  • the fixing element can have a preload and, therefore, acts like a spring in operation keeping the force to fix the other elements of the cylinder head assembly of the invention over a long time, even when slight creeping effects may occur.
  • the clamping element has an annular clamping section and a plurality of first clamping protrusions, which first clamping protrusions are configured to latch with a circumferential clamping groove of the cylinder housing.
  • the clamping element has two positioning pins for aligning the suction connector head of the suction muffler and the discharge connector head of the discharge muffler with respect to the valve plate, wherein the positioning pins extend to an opposite side of the annular clamping section than the first clamping protrusions.
  • both the suction connector head and the discharge connector head have positioning openings matching the cross section of the positioning pins.
  • the clamping element has at least three second clamping protrusions which second are clamping protrusions are configured to latch with a circumferential clamping groove of the cylinder housing, wherein each second clamping protrusion has a fixing recess, wherein the fixing element has at least three fixing legs, wherein each fixing leg is configured to latch with a fixing recess of the clamping element.
  • the contours of the fixing recesses of the second protrusions correspond to at least a section of the contours of the fixing legs. On the one hand, this prevents the clamping element from slipping off and, on the other hand, ensures that the clamping force is constantly maintained.
  • the invention further relates to an encapsulated refrigerant compressor having
  • Fig. 1 shows an outside view of an, in particular hermetically, encapsulated refrigerant compressor 1 which extends along a length direction x, a width direction y and a height direction z.
  • Length direction x, width direction y and height direction z form an orthogonal reference system.

  • refrigerant is sucked into the refrigerant compressor 1 through the suction pipe 30, mainly during a suction cycle of a pump unit 10 (see Fig. 3 ) of the refrigerant compressor 1. Therefore, in an operating state, the suction pipe 30 is connected directly or indirectly, e.g. through piping of the low pressure side of the refrigerant appliance, to an evaporator of the refrigerant appliance.
  • the suction pipe 30 is entering the upper shell part 110 through a second connector element 80, which second connector element 80 is hermetically connected to the upper shell part 120 on the one hand and to the suction pipe 30 on the other hand, for example by welding and/or soldering.
  • a discharge pipe 20 as well as a maintenance pipe 40 enters the lower shell part 110 on a front side of the refrigerant compressor 1.

  • first connector element 70 is hermetically connected to the lower shell part 110 on the one hand and to the discharge pipe 20 or maintenance pipe 40 respectively on the other hand, for example by welding and/or soldering.
  • refrigerant compressed by the pump unit 10 can escape the refrigerant compressor 1 through the discharge pipe 20, mainly during a compression and discharge cycle of the pump unit 10. Therefore, the discharge pipe 20 is connectable to a high pressure side of the refrigerant appliance to allow compressed refrigerant to be fed to a high pressure side of the refrigerant appliance.
  • the discharge pipe 20 is connected directly or indirectly, e.g. through piping
  • the maintenance pipe 40 can be used to insert lubrication oil and/or refrigerant into the refrigerant compressor 1 during assembly of the refrigerant application or during maintenance operations.
  • the maintenance pipe 40 is, similar to the suction pipe 30, connected to the lower shell part 110 by a second connector element 80, which is hermetically connected to the lower shell part 110 on the one hand and to the maintenance pipe 40 on the other hand, for example by welding and/or soldering.
