2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional internal intermediate pressure type multi-stage compression type rotary compressor, a gas (refrigerant gas) is sucked into a low pressure chamber side of a cylinder from a suction port of a first rotary compression element and compressed by an operation of a roller and a vane. Then, the pressure becomes an intermediate pressure and is discharged from the high pressure chamber side of the cylinder into the closed container through the discharge port and the discharge muffling chamber. Then, the intermediate-pressure gas in the closed container is sucked into the low-pressure chamber side of the cylinder from the suction port of the second rotary compression element, and the second stage compression is performed by the operation of the roller and the vane, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure gas is generated. Next to
It is discharged from the high-pressure chamber side through the discharge port and the discharge muffling chamber.

The gas discharged from the rotary compressor flows into the radiator of the refrigerant circuit, and after radiating the heat, it is throttled by the expansion valve, absorbed by the evaporator, and sucked by the first rotary compression element of the rotary compressor. repeat.

When a refrigerant having a large difference in high pressure and low pressure, for example, carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ) is used as the refrigerant in the rotary compressor, the pressure of the discharged refrigerant reaches 12 MPaG in the second rotary compression element which becomes high pressure, while The first rotary compression element on the lower stage side has a pressure of 8 MPaG (intermediate pressure) (the suction pressure of the first rotary compression element is 4 MPa).

[0005]

A vane attached to such a rotary compressor is inserted into a guide groove provided in the radial direction of the cylinder so as to be movable in the radial direction of the cylinder. Since this vane needs to be pressed against the roller side, conventionally, a structure has been adopted in which the vane is pressed against the roller by the biasing force of the spring and the back pressure from the back pressure chamber. In the rotary compression element of No. 2, since the pressure in the cylinder becomes higher than the intermediate pressure in the closed container, the pressure in the closed container cannot be used as the back pressure of the vane, and it is extremely difficult to apply the back pressure. It was a thing.

The rotary shaft 16 is held by the bearing 54A of the upper support member 54 and the bearing 56A of the lower support member 56 via the bushes 122 and 123.

In this case, the lower cover 68 is made of a donut-shaped circular steel plate, and is fixed to the lower support member 56 from the bottom at four locations in the peripheral portion by the main bolts 129 ... The lower surface opening of the discharge muffling chamber 64 that communicates with the inside of the lower cylinder 40 of the first rotary compression element 32 is closed. The tips of the main bolts 129 ... Are screwed into the upper support member 54. The inner peripheral edge of the lower cover 68 projects inward from the inner surface of the bearing 56A of the lower support member 56, whereby the lower end surface of the bush 123 is held by the lower cover 68 and prevented from falling off (FIG. 9). FIG. 10 shows the lower surface of the lower support member 56, and 128 is the discharge port 41 in the discharge muffling chamber 64.

The lower support member 56 is made of an iron-based sintered material (or a casting), and the surface (lower surface) on which the lower cover 68 is attached has a flatness of 0.
After being processed to 1 mm or less, steam treatment is added. By this steam treatment, the surface on the side to which the lower cover 68 is attached becomes iron oxide, so that the holes inside the sintered material are closed and the sealing performance is improved. This eliminates the need to provide a gasket between the lower cover 68 and the lower support member 56.

The discharge muffler chamber 64 and the electric element 14 side of the upper cover 66 in the closed container 12 are communicated with each other by a communication passage 63 which is a hole penetrating the upper and lower cylinders 38, 40 and the intermediate partition plate 36. (Fig. 4). In this case, the communication passage 6

With the beaded gasket 124 (FIG. 12) sandwiched between the main gasket 7 and the main bolt 7 having four peripheral parts through the gasket 124.
It is fixed to the upper support member 54 from above by 8 ... The tips of the main bolts 78 ...
Screw to 6.

By making the upper cover 66 have such a thickness dimension, it is possible to achieve miniaturization while sufficiently withstanding the pressure of the discharge muffling chamber 62, which is higher than the pressure in the closed container 12, and to achieve the size reduction, and thus the electric element 1
It is also possible to secure an insulation distance from 4. Further, an O-ring 126 is provided between the inner peripheral edge of the upper cover 66 and the outer surface of the bearing 54A (FIG. 12). By sealing the bearing 54A side by the O-ring 126, it is possible to sufficiently seal the inner peripheral edge of the upper cover 66, prevent gas leakage, and increase the volume of the discharge silencing chamber 62. Here, in FIG. 11, 127 is a discharge valve of the second rotary compression element 34 that opens and closes the discharge port 39 in the discharge muffling chamber 62.

Next, the intermediate partition plate 3 for closing the lower opening surface of the upper cylinder 38 and the upper opening surface of the lower cylinder 40.
In FIG. 6, a position corresponding to the suction side in the upper cylinder 38 extends from the outer peripheral surface to the inner peripheral surface as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, and the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface communicate with each other to form an oil supply passage. The through hole 131 is formed, and the sealing material 132 on the outer peripheral surface side of the through passage 131 is press-fitted to seal the outer peripheral surface side opening. A communication hole 133 extending upward is formed in the middle of the through hole 131.

On the other hand, the suction port 161 of the upper cylinder 38
A communication hole 134 that communicates with the communication hole 133 of the intermediate partition plate 36 is formed on the (suction side). Further, as shown in FIG. 7, an oil hole 80 is formed in the rotary shaft 16 in the vertical direction about the shaft center.
And a lateral oil supply hole 82 communicating with the oil hole 80,
84 (also formed on the vertical eccentric portions 42 and 44 of the rotary shaft 16) is formed, and the through hole 1 of the intermediate partition plate 36 is formed.
The opening on the inner peripheral surface side of 31 communicates with the oil hole 80 via these oil supply holes 82, 84.

As will be described later, since the inside pressure of the closed container 12 becomes an intermediate pressure, it becomes difficult to supply the oil into the upper cylinder 38 which becomes a high pressure in the second stage. , Pumped up from the oil sump at the bottom of the closed container 12 to raise the oil hole 80,
The oil discharged from 84 is the through hole 131 of the intermediate partition plate 36.
Then, the gas is supplied from the communication holes 133 and 134 to the suction side (suction port 161) of the upper cylinder 38.

In FIG. 16, L shows the pressure fluctuation on the suction side of the upper cylinder 38, and P1 shows the pressure on the inner peripheral surface of the intermediate partition plate 36. As indicated by L1 in this figure, the pressure on the suction side of the upper cylinder 38 (suction pressure) becomes lower than the pressure on the inner peripheral surface side of the intermediate partition plate 36 due to suction pressure loss during the suction process. During this period, oil is supplied from the through hole 131 and the communication hole 133 of the intermediate partition plate 36 into the upper cylinder 38 through the communication hole 134 of the upper cylinder 38.

As described above, the upper and lower cylinders 38 and 40, the intermediate partition plate 36, the upper and lower support members 54 and 56, and the upper and lower covers 6
6 and 68 are respectively fastened from above and below by four main bolts 78 ... And main bolts 129 ..., but further, upper and lower cylinders 38, 40, intermediate partition plate 36, and upper and lower support members 5
4, 56 are fastened by auxiliary bolts 136, 136 located outside these main bolts 78, 129 (FIG. 4). The auxiliary bolt 136 is inserted from the upper support member 54 side, and the tip end is screwed into the lower support member 56.

The auxiliary bolt 136 is located near the guide groove 70, which will be described later, of the vane 50 described above.
By thus adding the auxiliary bolts 136 and 136 to integrate the rotary compression mechanism portion 18, the sealing performance against the extremely high pressure inside is ensured and the vicinity of the guide groove 70 of the vane 50 is ensured. Since it is tightened, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience that the high pressure back pressure applied to the vane 50 leaks from the back pressure chamber 74 described later.

On the other hand, a guide groove 70 for accommodating the vane 50 and an accommodating portion 70A for accommodating a spring 76 as a spring member are formed outside the guide groove 70 in the upper cylinder 38. The storage section 70A is open to the guide groove 70 side and the closed container 12 (container body 12A) side (FIG. 8). The spring 76 contacts the outer end of the vane 50 and constantly urges the vane 50 toward the roller 46. Further, a metal plug 137 is provided in the housing portion 70A of the spring 76 on the side of the closed container 12 and serves to prevent the spring 76 from coming off.

In this case, an O-ring 138 for sealing between the plug 137 and the inner surface of the housing portion 70A is attached to the peripheral surface of the plug 137.

The outer size of the plug 137 is set smaller than the inner size of the storage section 70A so that the plug 137 can be stored in the storage section 70A.
Even when the clearance is fitted in A, the distance between the upper cylinder 38 and the closed container 12 is set smaller than the distance from the O-ring 138 to the end of the plug 137 on the closed container 12 side. High pressure (back pressure of vane 50)
Even if the plug 137 moves in the direction of being pushed out of the storage portion 70A, the O-ring 138 is still positioned in the storage portion 70A and seals when the plug 137 comes into contact with the closed container 12 and is prevented from moving. There is no problem with the function of.

Further, the back pressure chamber 74 for applying a back pressure for urging the vane 50 to the roller 46 to the vane 46 is formed on the housing portion 70A side of the guide groove 70 in the upper cylinder 38. ing. The back pressure chamber 74 has a substantially cylindrical shape extending between the intermediate partition plate 36 and the upper support member 54, and is formed so as to penetrate into the upper cylinder 38 (FIG. 19).
The back pressure chamber 74 is provided with the inner guide groove 70 and the storage portion 7.
It is connected to both 0A.

Further, as shown in FIG. 19, a concave groove 72 is formed on the inner surface of the guide groove 70 on the discharge port 39 side, and the inner end of the concave groove 72 is formed in the high pressure chamber of the upper cylinder 38. The outer end is open in the back pressure chamber 74. As a result, the pressure on the high pressure chamber side, which is the discharge pressure of the second rotary compression element 34, flows into the back pressure chamber 74 and is applied to the vane 50 as a back pressure. The vane 50 of the groove 72
The side opening is closed by the vane 50.

By the way, the connecting portion 90 which connects the upper and lower eccentric portions 42 and 44 integrally formed with the rotating shaft 16 with a phase difference of 180 degrees has a sectional shape of the rotating shaft 16.
The non-circular shape, for example, a rugby ball shape, has a larger cross-sectional area than the circular cross-section and has rigidity (FIG. 17). That is, the vertical eccentric parts 42, 4 provided on the rotary shaft 16
The cross-sectional shape of the connecting portion 90 connecting the four is the vertical eccentric portion 42
The wall thickness is increased in the direction orthogonal to the eccentric direction of 44 (hatched portion in the figure).

As a result, the cross-sectional area of the connecting portion 90 which connects the vertical eccentric portions 42 and 44 integrally provided on the rotary shaft 16 is increased, the second moment of area is increased, and the strength (rigidity) is increased, resulting in durability. It improves the reliability and reliability. Especially when two-stage compression of a refrigerant having a high working pressure is performed, the load applied to the rotating shaft 16 increases due to a large pressure difference between high pressure and low pressure, but the cross-sectional area of the connecting portion 90 is increased to increase its strength (rigidity).
Therefore, the rotation shaft 16 is prevented from being elastically deformed.

In this case, the center of the upper eccentric portion 42 is O1.
And the center of the lower eccentric portion 44 is O2, the center of the arc of the surface of the coupling portion 90 on the eccentric direction side of the eccentric portion 42 is O.
1, the center of the arc of the surface of the connecting portion 90 on the eccentric direction side of the eccentric portion 44 is O2. As a result, the rotary shaft 16 is chucked by the cutting machine and the vertical eccentric parts 42 and 44 and the connecting part 9 are attached.
When cutting 0, after processing the eccentric portion 42, only the radius is changed to process one surface of the connecting portion 90, the chuck position is changed to process the other surface of the connecting portion 90, and only the radius is changed. Then, the work of machining the eccentric portion 44 becomes possible. As a result, the number of times of re-chucking the rotary shaft 16 is reduced, and the productivity is remarkably improved.

In this case, as the refrigerant, carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ) as an example of carbon dioxide which is a natural refrigerant is used in consideration of flammability and toxicity, and it is an oil as a lubricating oil. As the oil, existing oils such as mineral oil, alkylbenzene oil, ether oil and ester oil are used.

Has been. The bracket 148 extends upwardly from the bracket 147, and the accumulator 146
Is held in a substantially central portion in the vertical direction, and in this state, the accumulator 146 is arranged along the side of the closed container 12. The refrigerant introduction pipe 92, after coming out of the sleeve 141, bends to the right in the embodiment and then rises, and the lower end of the accumulator 146 is in the form of being close to the refrigerant introduction pipe 92. Therefore, the refrigerant introduction pipe 94 that descends from the lower end of the accumulator 146 is routed so as to bypass the left side of the sleeve 141 opposite to the bending direction of the refrigerant introduction pipe 92 and reach the sleeve 142 (FIG. 3). ).

That is, the upper support member 38 and the lower support member 4
Refrigerant introduction pipes 92 and 94 communicating with the suction passages 58 and 60 of 0 are bent in the opposite directions in the horizontal direction when viewed from the closed container 12, whereby the vertical dimension of the accumulator 146 is enlarged. Therefore, even if the volume is increased, consideration is given so that the refrigerant introduction pipes 92 and 94 do not interfere with each other.

Further, a flange portion 15 is formed around the outer surfaces of the sleeves 141, 143, 144 so that a coupler for pipe connection can be engaged.
1 is formed, and a thread groove 152 for pipe connection is formed on the inner surface of the sleeve 142.

0 is used in the refrigerant circuit of the water heater 153 as shown in FIG. That is, the refrigerant discharge pipe 96 of the rotary compressor 10 is connected to the inlet of the gas cooler 154 for heating water. The gas cooler 154 is provided in a hot water storage tank (not shown) of the hot water supply device 153. The pipe exiting the gas cooler 154 is passed through an expansion valve 156 as a pressure reducing device and then an evaporator 157.
And the outlet of the evaporator 157 is connected to the refrigerant introduction pipe 94. Further, although not shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a defrost pipe 158 constituting a defrosting circuit branches from the middle portion of the refrigerant introduction pipe 92, and the defrost pipe 158 of the gas cooler 154 is connected via an electromagnetic valve 159 as a flow path control device. It is connected to the refrigerant discharge pipe 96 leading to the inlet. The accumulator 146 is omitted in FIG.

The operation of the above configuration will be described below. In the heating operation, the solenoid valve 159 is closed. Electric element 1 via terminal 20 and wiring not shown
When the stator coil 28 of No. 4 is energized, the electric element 14
Starts and the rotor 24 rotates. By this rotation, the upper and lower rollers 46 and 48 fitted in the upper and lower eccentric portions 42 and 44 integrally provided with the rotating shaft 16 eccentrically rotate in the upper and lower cylinders 38 and 40.

As a result, the low pressure (first-stage suction pressure LP: which is sucked into the low pressure chamber side of the lower cylinder 40 from the suction port 162 via the refrigerant introduction pipe 94 and the suction passage 60 formed in the lower support member 56. The refrigerant gas (4 MPaG) is compressed by the operation of the roller 48 and the vane to an intermediate pressure (MP1: 8 MPaG) from the high pressure chamber side of the lower cylinder 40 to the discharge port 41 and the discharge muffling chamber 64 formed in the lower support member 56. Intermediate discharge pipe 121 via communication passage 63
Is discharged into the closed container 12.

At this time, since the intermediate discharge pipe 121 is directed toward the gap between the adjacent stator coils 28, 28 wound around the stator 22 of the upper electric element 14, the refrigerant gas having a relatively low temperature is still present. Can be positively supplied in the direction of the electric element 14, and the temperature rise of the electric element 14 can be suppressed. Moreover, by this, the closed container 1
The inside of 2 becomes an intermediate pressure (MP1).

The intermediate pressure refrigerant gas in the closed container 12 is discharged from the sleeve 144 (the intermediate discharge pressure is equal to the above-mentioned MP value).
1) The refrigerant is introduced into the low pressure chamber side of the upper cylinder 38 from the suction port 161 through the refrigerant introduction pipe 92 and the suction passage 58 formed in the upper support member 54 (second-stage suction pressure MP
2). The sucked intermediate-pressure refrigerant gas is compressed in the second stage by the operation of the roller 46 and the vane 50 to become high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant gas (second-stage discharge pressure HP: 12 MPa.
G) From the high pressure chamber side, the gas flows into the gas cooler 154 through the discharge port 39, the discharge muffling chamber 62 formed in the upper support member 54, and the refrigerant discharge pipe 96. At this time, the refrigerant temperature has risen to approximately + 100 ° C., and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas radiates heat to heat the water in the hot water storage tank to approximately +
It produces hot water at 90 ° C.

On the other hand, the refrigerant itself is cooled in the gas cooler 154 and exits the gas cooler 154. Then, after being decompressed by the expansion valve 156, it flows into the evaporator 157 and evaporates, and the accumulator 146 (not shown in FIG. 18).
After that, the cycle of being sucked into the first rotary compression element 32 from the refrigerant introduction pipe 94 is repeated.

In particular, in an environment of low outside temperature, frost is formed on the evaporator 157 by such heating operation. In that case, the solenoid valve 159 is opened, the expansion valve 156 is fully opened, and the evaporator 157 is defrosted. As a result, the medium-pressure refrigerant (including a small amount of high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the second rotary compression element 34) in the closed container 12 reaches the gas cooler 154 through the defrost pipe 158. The temperature of this refrigerant is about +50 to + 60 ° C., and the gas cooler 154 does not dissipate heat, but the refrigerant initially absorbs heat. The refrigerant discharged from the gas cooler 154 is the expansion valve 1
It passes through 56 and reaches the evaporator 157. That is,
The evaporator 157 is substantially directly supplied with the refrigerant having a substantially intermediate pressure and having a relatively high temperature without being decompressed, whereby the evaporator 157 is heated and defrosted.

Here, when the high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the second rotary compression element 34 is supplied to the evaporator 157 without depressurization and defrosted, the expansion valve 156 is fully opened and the first rotation is performed. The suction pressure of the compression element 32 rises, which causes the first
The discharge pressure (intermediate pressure) of the rotary compression element 32 is increased.
This refrigerant is discharged through the second rotary compression element 34, but because the expansion valve 156 is fully open, the second rotary compression element 3
Since the discharge pressure of No. 4 becomes the same as the suction pressure of the first rotary compression element 32, a pressure reversal phenomenon occurs between the discharge (high pressure) and suction (intermediate pressure) of the second rotary compression element 34. I will end up. However, since the refrigerant gas of the intermediate pressure discharged from the first rotary compression element 32 is taken out from the closed container 12 to defrost the evaporator 157 as described above, the reversal phenomenon of the high pressure and the intermediate pressure. Will be able to prevent.

Thus, the back pressure chamber 74 is formed in communication with the storage chamber 70 of the vane 50 formed in the upper cylinder 38 of the second rotary compression element 34, and the vane 50 is formed on the inner surface of the guide groove 70. Forming a concave groove 72 for applying back pressure,
Since the high pressure chamber side in the upper cylinder 38 and the back pressure chamber 74 are communicated with each other by the groove 72, a high back pressure can be applied to the vane 50. As a result, in the rotary compressor 10 in which the inside pressure of the closed container 12 is an intermediate pressure, a back pressure for urging the vane 50 toward the roller 46 can be applied without any hindrance, and the concave groove 72 is particularly raised. Since the structure is simple in that it is formed on the inner surface of the guide groove 70 of the cylinder 38, the structure can be simplified and the production cost can be reduced.

Next, another structure of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 shows a perspective view of the vane 50 in this case. In this case, the discharge port 3 of the vane 50
A concave groove 52 similar to the concave groove 72 provided on the inner surface of the guide groove 70 is formed on the side surface on the 9 side. The inner end of the groove 52 is open to the high pressure chamber of the upper cylinder 38, and the outer end thereof is opened to the back pressure chamber 74. As a result, the back pressure chamber 7
The pressure on the high pressure chamber side, which is the discharge pressure of the second rotary compression element 34, flows into 4 and is applied as a back pressure to the vane 50. The opening of the concave groove 52 on the guide groove 70 side is closed by the inner surface of the guide groove 70 (the upper cylinder 38).
Further, in this case, the concave groove 72 provided on the inner surface of the guide groove 70 described above is not provided.

With such a structure as well, in the rotary compressor 10 in which the pressure inside the closed container 12 becomes an intermediate pressure, the back pressure for urging the vane 50 toward the roller 46 can be applied without any trouble. In particular, since the concave groove 52 is formed on the side surface of the vane 50, it has a simple structure. Therefore, it is possible to similarly simplify the structure and reduce the production cost.

In the above embodiment, in order to communicate the high pressure chamber side in the upper cylinder 38 with the back pressure chamber 74, the inner groove of the guide groove 70 or the side surface of the vane 50 are provided with the concave grooves 72 and 52, respectively. However, the present invention is not limited to this, but the concave grooves 72, 52 are formed on both the inner surface of the guide groove 70 and the side surface of the vane 50.
The present invention is effective even if they are formed to face each other.

Further, although the concave grooves 72 and 52 are formed on the inner surface of the guide groove 70 and the vane 50, respectively, the concave grooves 72 and 52 are not limited thereto, and the concave grooves 72 and 52 may be formed on the guide groove 70 or the vane 50 at plural positions. May be.
