Description

  The present invention relates to a discharge side structure of a compressor (compressor) that compresses a fluid and a check valve used therefor.

  In general, on the discharge side of a compressor for air conditioning or the like, fluid pulsation occurs when the discharge valve opens and closes when fluid such as refrigerant is discharged from the inside of the cylinder. It may be further increased by a check valve that prevents it.

In order to solve the above-described problem, for example, as described in Patent Document 1, a compressor in which a throttle portion (refrigerant passage) for reducing fluid pulsation is formed in a fluid discharge side housing itself such as a refrigerant is provided. Proposed.
JP-A-11-315785 (paragraph numbers 0035 to 0040, FIG. 1)

  However, in the one described in Patent Document 1 described above, the pulsation of the fluid generated when discharged from the cylinder of the compressor and increased by the check valve can be reduced at the throttle portion (refrigerant passage). Since the throttle portion is formed in the compressor housing itself, the number of processing steps for the housing increases, the housing becomes larger, and a large space is required. Further, the degree of freedom in housing layout is low, and versatility is lacking.

  In addition to the above-described conventional technology, it is conceivable to provide a throttle portion in the housing on the front side of the check valve. However, a predetermined length is required to reduce the fluid pulsation only by this throttle portion. Actually, it is difficult to provide the throttle portion having the predetermined length because of the limitation of the thickness of the housing. Further, when the thickness of the housing is increased, there is a problem that the weight is increased and a “so” (that is, a cavity) is easily formed when the housing is cast. Furthermore, when the housing and the throttle part are integrally formed, it is difficult to change the throttle diameter, and when the throttle part is formed by inserting a spacer member with a hole into the through hole of the housing, the cost increases. There is also.

  Therefore, the present invention does not increase the size of the compressor housing, improves the degree of freedom in layout, is versatile, and can reduce fluid pulsation that occurs on the discharge side of the compressor. An object is to provide a side structure and a check valve used therefor.

  In order to achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention is directed to a fluid discharge side of a compressor that compresses fluid, a throttle portion that reduces pulsation of fluid generated by driving the compressor, and a check valve that prevents backflow of fluid. In which the throttle part is integrally provided on the inlet side of the check valve.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention configured as described above, when fluid pulsation occurs when discharging from the cylinder of the compressor, the fluid pulsation is reduced by the throttle portion provided on the inlet side of the check valve. In addition, since the throttle part is provided integrally with the check valve, when the throttle part of the compressor housing is provided as an auxiliary, the structure of the throttle part can be simplified. In the case where the pulsation of the fluid is reduced only by the throttle portion, it is not necessary to provide the throttle portion as an auxiliary to the compressor housing. In addition, since the amount of fluid can be easily changed by exchanging several types of check valves having throttle portions having different throttle diameters, the housing can be shared.

  The invention according to claim 2 is a check valve used in the discharge side structure according to claim 1, wherein the main body has an opening communicating with the fluid discharge side of the compressor, and the opening of the main body can be opened and closed. And a resilient body that biases the valve body toward the closed position of the opening and bends by the pressure of fluid to open the opening.

  In the invention of claim 2 configured as described above, since the elastic body of the check valve constantly urges the valve body to the closed position, when the fluid discharge pressure of the compressor is small, an opening communicating with the fluid discharge side of the compressor is provided. Closed. As a result, the check valve can prevent the fluid on the fluid discharge side of the compressor from flowing backward. Further, when the fluid discharge pressure of the compressor is large, the valve body is pressed to the open position against the elastic body of the check valve to open the opening. As a result, the fluid discharged from the compressor flows out from the check valve opening to the pulsation reducing means.

  The invention according to claim 3 is the check valve according to claim 2, wherein the main body is provided with the throttle portion and a communication hole, one side communicating with the fluid discharge side of the compressor, and the other side opened. And a cap member that covers the other side of the cylindrical member, the opening is provided on a side wall of the cylindrical member, and the valve body opens the opening inside the cylindrical member. Is housed movably between an open position in which the opening is closed and a closed position in which the opening is closed, and is disposed between one side of the tubular member and the valve body inside the tubular member. The elastic body is always urged to the closed position.

  In the invention according to claim 3 configured as described above, when the fluid discharge pressure of the compressor is large, the valve body housed in the cylindrical member is pressed to the open position against the elastic body to open the opening. And As a result, after the fluid flows into the cylindrical member through the communication hole on one side of the cylindrical member, the fluid flows out from the opening provided on the side wall of the cylindrical member to the outside of the cylindrical member. ing.

  The invention according to claim 4 is the check valve according to claim 3, wherein the throttle portion is arranged on the same axis line upstream of the communication hole, and has a predetermined length and a predetermined inner diameter. It consists of holes.

  In the invention according to claim 4 configured as described above, the pulsation of the discharged fluid is reduced when the fluid discharged from the cylinder of the compressor passes through the throttle hole having a predetermined length and a predetermined inner diameter, The discharged fluid flows into the cylindrical member through a communication hole arranged on the same axis as the throttle hole. At that time, since the discharged fluid flows substantially linearly along the axis, the flow resistance of the discharged fluid other than the throttle hole can be reduced.

  The present invention provides a compressor that can increase the degree of freedom in layout without increasing the size of the housing of the compressor, is versatile, and can reduce fluid pulsation generated on the discharge side of the compressor. There is an effect that can be done.

  In addition, a throttle portion 17 is integrally provided on the inlet side of the check valve 16 according to the present embodiment, and a through hole 18 is formed in the central portion on the discharge side of the check valve 16. A retainer (C-ring) 19 is provided for fixing. The check valve 16 includes a main body 22 having four openings 21 communicating with the fluid discharge side of the compressor, a valve body 23 capable of opening and closing the opening 21 of the main body 22, and a valve body 23 attached to a closed position of the opening 21. And an elastic body 24 that is bent by the fluid pressure and opens the opening 21.

  The main body 22 includes a tubular member 26 having one side (lower end side in FIG. 4) provided with a throttle portion 17 and a communication hole 25 communicating with the discharge chamber 11, and the other side (upper end side in FIG. 4) opened. A cap member 27 that covers the other side of the cylindrical member 26 and is detachably fastened is provided, and the four openings 21 are provided on the side wall of the cylindrical member 26 at equal intervals of 90 degrees. The throttle part 17 is arranged on the same axis line on the upstream side of the communication hole 25 and includes a throttle hole having a predetermined length and a predetermined inner diameter. The inner diameter of the throttle hole is set substantially equal to the inner diameter of the throttle diameter 15 and is set smaller than the inner diameter of the communication hole 25.

  The valve body 23 is housed in the cylindrical member 26 so as to be movable between an open position shown in FIG. 2 and a closed position shown in FIG. The elastic body 24 is disposed inside the tubular member 26 between one side of the tubular member 26 and the valve body 23, and constantly biases the valve body 23 to the closed position. As the valve body 23 moves in the axial direction, the opening 21 is opened at the open position shown in FIG. 2, and the opening 21 is closed at the closed position shown in FIG.
