Description

  The present invention relates to a scroll compressor that performs compression by meshing a fixed scroll and a swing scroll.

  In a conventional scroll compressor, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-121481 (F04C18 / 02), a power-save hole for releasing refrigerant in the compression space to the low-pressure side is provided in the end plate of the fixed scroll. The hole was formed of a first hole communicating with the compression space and a second hole communicating with the low pressure side. Then, a cover is provided on the surface of the fixed scroll end plate on the side opposite to the lap, and this cover accommodates a plate-like valve that opens and closes the first hole and the second hole.

  During full load operation, high-pressure refrigerant is applied as a back pressure to the valve, pressed to the fixed scroll side to cut off the communication between the first hole and the second hole, and the refrigerant flowing into the compression space is reduced to the low-pressure side. Do not return to. On the other hand, during light load operation, high pressure refrigerant is not applied to the valve, the spring is pushed up so that the refrigerant flowing into the compression space leaks from the first hole to the low pressure side through the second hole. The capacity was controlled by saving the power so that the refrigeration capacity matched the load.

  Further, in this type of scroll compressor, the liquid refrigerant in the receiver of the refrigerant circuit is led to the liquid injection pipe, decompressed by the capillary tube, returned to the intermediate pressure portion of the scroll compression element, and evaporated. Was cooling.

In this case, an injection hole is further formed in the fixed scroll, and a liquid injection passage communicating with the injection hole is formed in a cover attached to the fixed scroll. Then, a connection pipe is attached to the sealed container, and one end communicates with the liquid injection passage of the cover, and the other end protrudes to the outside and is connected to the liquid injection pipe from the liquid receiver. . (For example, see Patent Document 1)

  In addition, this type of scroll compressor generates heat due to the operation of the driving means or sliding of each scroll.

It is done. In this state, the sleeve 89 side of the connecting pipe 87 communicates with the liquid injection passage 88, and the connector 91 projects out of the sealed container 1 (FIG. 5).

  Next, FIG. 7 shows a refrigeration cycle of an air conditioner or a cooling storage, for example, S is the scroll compressor described above, 92 is a condenser, 93 is a liquid receiver, 94 is an expansion valve as a pressure reducing device, 95 Is an evaporator, and these are sequentially connected in an annular manner by pipes H1, H2, H3, and H4 to form a refrigerant circuit. That is, the pipe H <b> 1 is connected to the discharge pipe 52 of the scroll compressor S, and the pipe H <b> 2 is connected to the suction pipe 51.

  A pipe H 3 and a pipe H 5 are drawn into the lower part of the liquid receiver 934. The pipe H 3 is connected to the expansion valve 94, and the expansion valve 94 is connected to the inlet side of the evaporator 95. The pipe H5 is connected to the connector 91 of the liquid injection connecting pipe 87 of the scroll compressor S. Further, the pipe H5 is provided with a flow rate control valve V including an electromagnetic valve SV1 and an expansion valve. The liquid injection circuit K1 is configured as follows.

  A temperature sensing tube 97 is connected to a pressure chamber (not shown) of the flow rate control valve V via a capillary tube 96, and the temperature sensing tube 97 is attached to the discharge side pipe H 1 of the scroll compressor S. A predetermined amount of refrigerant is sealed in the temperature sensing cylinder 97, and the flow rate control valve V increases its valve opening as the temperature on the discharge side of the scroll compressor S detected by the temperature sensing cylinder 97 rises. It is configured as follows.

  98 is a back pressure guide pipe provided on the inlet side of the condenser 92, the outlet side of the evaporator 95, and the scroll compressor S. The pipe H6 communicated with the inlet side of the condenser 92, and the evaporator 95. The pipe H7 communicating with the outlet side of the compressor is joined and connected to the connecting pipe 85 for power saving attached to the scroll compressor S. The pipes H6 and H7 are each provided with an electromagnetic valve SV2 and SV3 is interposed.

  Next, the operation of the scroll compressor S of the present invention in the above configuration will be described. When the scroll compressor S starts operation by power supply from the terminal T and the rotor 39 of the electric element 3 rotates, the rotational force is transmitted to the orbiting scroll 8 via the rotary shaft 5.

  In other words, the orbiting scroll 8 is driven by the boss hole portion 17 inserted in the pin portion 19 of the rotating shaft 5 eccentrically with respect to the axis of the rotating shaft 5 and does not rotate with respect to the fixed scroll 7 by the Oldham ring 20. Can be revolved on a circular orbit. The fixed scroll 7 and the orbiting scroll 8 gradually reduce the compression space 18 formed between these wraps 13 and 16 from the outside to the inside, and from the suction pipe 51 to the low pressure chamber in the sealed container 1. The refrigerant flowing into the electric element 3 through the electric element 3 and flowing through the cutouts of the support frame 4 is sucked from the outside and gradually compressed toward the inside.

  The compressed refrigerant is discharged from the discharge hole 14 of the fixed scroll 7 into the discharge muffler chamber 72 of the cover 63 and then discharged into the high-pressure chamber 9 through the discharge passage 73. It is lifted by the high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the lower discharge hole 14 to open the discharge hole 14. The refrigerant discharged into the high pressure chamber 9 is discharged from the discharge pipe 52 to the pipe H1 outside the sealed container 1.

  The discharged high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant enters the condenser 92 through the pipe H1, condenses and liquefies there, and then enters the liquid receiver 93 through the pipe H2, and the liquid refrigerant is temporarily stored in the lower part of the liquid receiver 93. . Then, the refrigerant enters the pipe H3 from one liquid refrigerant outlet of the liquid receiver 93, is decompressed by the expansion valve 94, and then flows into the evaporator 95 to evaporate. The cooling capacity is exhibited in an air conditioner or the like by the endothermic effect generated at this time. The gas refrigerant evaporated in the evaporator 95 returns to the low pressure chamber 10 from the suction pipe 51 of the scroll compressor S through the pipe H4.

  On the other hand, simultaneously with the start of operation of the scroll compressor S, the solenoid valve SV1 of the liquid injection circuit K1 is opened. When the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant is discharged from the scroll compressor S, the temperature of the discharge-side pipe H1 rises and the refrigerant pressure in the temperature-sensitive cylinder 97 rises. The pressure in the chamber rises, and the flow control valve V is opened by the pressure in the pressure chamber. Thus, the liquid refrigerant in the liquid receiver 93 flows into the pipe H5 of the liquid injection circuit K1 from the other liquid refrigerant outlet, is decompressed by the flow rate control valve V, enters the connection pipe 87, and then covers the cover 63. The liquid is supplied from the injection hole 68 to the compression space 18 of intermediate pressure in the scroll compression element 2 through the internal liquid injection passage 88, where it evaporates to cool the scroll compressor S.

  When the temperature of the scroll compressor S rises and the discharge gas temperature rises, the temperature of the pipe H1 also rises. Therefore, the temperature sensing cylinder 97 detects this, and the flow control valve V increases the valve opening. As a result, the amount of refrigerant supplied to the intermediate pressure compression space 18 increases, so that the scroll compressor S is cooled more powerfully. The scroll compressor S is accurately cooled by the operation of the flow control valve V.

  Here, since the liquid refrigerant after being depressurized by the flow rate control valve V flows into the connection pipe 87 for liquid injection, when the internal cavity volume is large, the liquid refrigerant that has flowed in the connection pipe 87. It expands and becomes easy to gasify. For this reason, there is a problem that the flow of the liquid refrigerant to the liquid injection passage 88 is obstructed. As described above, the filling 90 as a volume reducing member is inserted between the sleeve 89 inside the connecting pipe 87 and the connector 91. In addition, since the internal cavity volume is reduced to be equal to the passages in the sleeve 89 and the connector 91, gasification of the liquid refrigerant is suppressed, and smooth liquid injection can be performed.

  Next, capacity control of the scroll compressor S will be described. When the scroll compressor S is operated at full load, the solenoid valve SV2 is opened, the solenoid valve SV3 is closed, and the high-pressure refrigerant before flowing into the condenser 92 passes from the back pressure guide pipe 98 through the connection pipe 85 to the back. A high pressure is applied as a back pressure to the piston 82 of the displacement control valve 81 through the pressure passage 86. Due to this high pressure, the piston 82 descends in the cylinder 79 and presses the valve plate 83 and the piston valve 84 toward the fixed scroll 7, so that the save hole 66 and the return hole 67 are closed. This prevents the refrigerant flowing into the compression space 18 from returning to the low pressure chamber 10 (FIG. 4).

  On the other hand, at the time of light load operation, the solenoid valve SV2 is closed and the solenoid valve SV3 is opened so that a low pressure on the outlet side of the evaporator 95 is applied as a back pressure to the piston 82 of the capacity control valve 81. As a result, the capacity control valve 81 is pushed up by the high pressure from the discharge hole 14, and the piston 82 moves up in the cylinder 79. Since the valve plate 83 and the piston valve 84 are separated from the save hole 66 and the return hole 67, the refrigerant flowing into the compression space 18 exits from the save hole 66 and passes through the communication passage 78 as shown by an arrow in FIG. Since leaking from the return hole 67 to the low pressure chamber 10, the refrigerating capacity becomes the capacity commensurate with the load (FIG. 8).

  With this configuration, the displacement control valve 81 stabilizes the operation of the valve plate 83 and the piston valve 84 by the piston 82 moving in the cylinder 79, so that the scroll compressor S can be operated without using a spring or the like as in the prior art. Capacity control can be performed smoothly, and reliability can be improved.

  Further, a temperature sensing unit of a temperature detection device is built in the pipe 74, and when a discharge temperature (discharge refrigerant temperature) detected by this temperature sensing unit becomes a predetermined abnormal high temperature, a control device (not shown) A protection operation for stopping the electric element 3 is executed. At this time, since the temperature detection device can detect the discharge refrigerant temperature in the discharge muffler chamber 72 immediately after the discharge hole 14, the temperature detection device accurately detects the discharge temperature of the scroll compressor S, and the scroll compressor due to the abnormally high temperature. The inconvenience of causing damage to S can be accurately avoided.

  In the present invention, the discharge muffler chamber 72 communicating with the discharge hole 14, the discharge passage 73 communicating with the discharge muffler chamber 72 and the high-pressure chamber 9 of the sealed container 1, and the fixed scroll 7 can be saved as described above. A communication path 78 that communicates the hole 66 and the return hole 67, a capacity control valve 81 that is located in the communication path 78 and operates by back pressure to open and close the save hole 66 and the return hole 67, and the capacity control valve 81 Since a back pressure passage 86 for applying a back pressure to the nozzle and a liquid injection passage 88 communicating with the injection hole 68 are formed, the discharge muffler chamber 72 and the passage for capacity control and liquid injection are formed by a single cover 63. The structure can be configured.

  As a result, the number of parts and the number of assembling steps can be reduced, and a reduction in production cost can be achieved. Further, since the pipe 74 incorporating the temperature sensing portion of the temperature detection device is inserted into the discharge passage 73 of the cover 63, the discharge temperature can be sensed immediately after the discharge hole 14 by the temperature detection device. Thus, it is possible to accurately sense the discharge temperature of the scroll compressor S and to accurately avoid the disadvantage that the scroll compressor S is damaged due to the abnormally high temperature.
