Description

  The present invention relates to a hermetic compressor.

  In a hermetic compressor conventionally used in an air conditioner or the like, the inside of the hermetic container is filled with lubricating oil for lubrication of a sliding portion such as a bearing that supports a compression mechanism and a crankshaft. . This lubricating oil is supplied to sliding parts such as a compression mechanism and a bearing through an oil passage inside the crankshaft.

  A part of the lubricating oil becomes minute droplets (mist) during operation of the compressor, and is discharged together with a compression medium such as refrigerant gas compressed by the compression mechanism to a refrigerant circuit outside the compressor communicating with the compressor. If the lubricating oil discharged to the outside of the compressor increases, the lubricating oil inside the sealed container decreases and the sliding portion may be seized. As described above, in the hermetic compressor, in order to prevent seizure of the sliding portion due to running out of oil and to improve the reliability, the discharge of lubricating oil (so-called oil rise) to the refrigerant circuit is suppressed. There is a need to.

Therefore, conventionally, there is a hermetic compressor disclosed in Patent Document 1 including a resin partition member that separates a forward path and a return path of a gas passage through which a compression medium discharged from a compression mechanism circulates in a sealed container. In the compressor described in Patent Document 1, the partition member prevents the forward-side compressed medium containing a large amount of lubricating oil droplets from mixing with the backward-side compressed medium discharged to the outside of the compressor. The amount of lubricating oil discharged is reduced.

<Features of First Embodiment>
(1)
In the hermetic compressor 1 of the first embodiment, the guide member 61 is configured by integrally forming a refrigerant guide portion 62 and a lubricant guide portion 63. This can save space and reduce manufacturing costs. That is, it becomes possible to install the guide member 61 that is a separation mechanism for the lubricating oil and the refrigerant gas in a limited space inside the compressor. Further, by integrating the lubricating oil passage 63a and the refrigerant passage 62a in the guide member 61, it is not necessary to provide a lubricating oil pipe separately from the refrigerant guide member as in the prior art, and the cost is reduced by reducing the number of parts. It becomes possible.

  Further, the refrigerant and the lubricating oil separately flow through the refrigerant passage 62a and the lubricating oil passage 63a, respectively, so that the lubricating oil discharged to the outside of the compressor together with the refrigerant can be reduced.

  Furthermore, the guide member 61 can rectify the flow of the lubricating oil and the flow of the refrigerant gas into a one-way flow (a flow from the top to the bottom on the outer periphery of the stator 51 in FIG. 1).

(2)
In the first embodiment, below the guide member 61, the drive motor 16 having the stator 51 fixed to the casing 10 that is a sealed container and the rotor 52 that rotates inside the stator 51 is installed.

Thereby, the guide member 61 can be disposed close to or in contact with the stator 51, and the entire compressor can be downsized.

(3)
In the first embodiment, since the guide member 61 is made of an insulating material at least at a portion close to the stator 51, the guide member 61 contacts the stator 51 as shown in FIGS. Can also be arranged. Thereby, the airtightness between the inside and outside of the guide member 61 is improved, and mixing of the refrigerant gas and the lubricating oil can be prevented.

(4)
In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the outer peripheral surface 65 of the guide member 61 is arranged so as to be continuous with the outer peripheral surface of the stator 51, thereby facilitating the flow of the refrigerant gas and the lubricating oil. It is possible.

(5)
Moreover, in the first embodiment, the guide member 61 shown in FIG. 3 has a cylindrical main body 64. The refrigerant guide 62 and the lubricant guide 63 are formed on the outer peripheral surface 65 of the cylindrical main body 64. Thereby, between the inner wall of the casing 10 and the outer peripheral surface 65 of the guide member 61, it is possible to form the lubricating oil passage 63a in which the lubricating oil falls and the refrigerant passage 62a through which the refrigerant gas passes. As a result, the number of parts can be reduced, and the structure of the guide member 61 is simplified. In addition, since the structure of the guide member 61 is simplified, the guide member 61 can be easily manufactured.

(6)
Further, in the first embodiment, the refrigerant passage 62a width W1 is 20 to 50% of the outer peripheral length of the guide member 61, and the width W2 of the lubricating oil passage 63a is 3% of the outer peripheral length of the guide member 61. Since it is ˜15%, it is possible to ensure a smooth flow of refrigerant and lubricating oil.

(7)
The hermetic compressor 1 of the first embodiment uses carbon dioxide as a compression medium (refrigerant). Carbon dioxide has a higher pressure than other refrigerants, but by using the guide member 61, It is possible to smoothly circulate the inside of the casing in a state where the refrigerant and the lubricating oil are separated from each other.

<Modification of First Embodiment>

(B)
In the first embodiment, the guide member 61 is fixed by screwing or press-fitting the guide member 61 to the upper main bearing 32 that is the frame portion, but the present invention is not limited to this. The guide member 61 is pressed into the casing 10 and illustrated, or the guide member 61 is manufactured from a metal material (for example, manufactured by coating the surface of the metal base of the guide member 61 with a highly insulating synthetic resin. However, the outward elastic force of the guide member 61 may be used to map the inner wall surface of the casing 10. Also in this case, the assembly of the guide member 61 is facilitated.

(C)
Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the lubricating oil passage 63a of the guide member 61 ends at the upper surface of the stator 51 of the drive motor 16, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the lubricating oil passage of the guide member 61 63a may be extended to the lower side of the stator 51. In this case, it is preferable because the lubricating oil can be returned to the bottom wall portion 13 of the casing 10 more smoothly.

(D)
In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, after the refrigerant descending through the refrigerant passage 62 a of the guide member 61 descends through the motor cooling passage 55 on the outer peripheral portion of the stator 51, the stator 51 starts from below the stator 51. However, the present invention is not limited to this. As a modified example, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 6, the refrigerant may be raised from a part of the outer peripheral portion of the stator 51.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 6, at least one third of the cross-sectional area of the refrigerant passages 55 a and 55 b on the outer periphery of the stator 51 is a downflow passage 55 a that guides the refrigerant gas to the motor lower space, and other portions. As the upward flow passage 55b for raising the refrigerant gas, a plurality of (for example, four) refrigerant passages 62a (see FIG. 3) of the guide member 61 are formed, and the downward flow passage 55a on the outer periphery of the stator 51 and the upward circulation are respectively formed Directly connected to the road 55b. Furthermore, a plurality of (for example, four) lubricating oil passages 63 a (see FIG. 3) of the guide member 61 are formed and directly connected to the lubricating oil passage 57 on the outer periphery of the stator 51.

  If the refrigerant is also raised from a part of the outer peripheral portion of the stator 51 as shown in FIGS. 5 to 6, the hermetic compressor 1 is provided by the guide member 61 in which the lubricating oil passage 63a and the refrigerant passage 62a are integrated. The total number of parts can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  Further, since the lubricating oil passage 63a and the refrigerant passage 62a can be completely separated, the effect of separating the lubricating oil can be increased.

  Furthermore, since the flow of the refrigerant to the outer peripheral portion and the inner peripheral portion of the stator 51 can be ensured, the drive motor 16 can be actively cooled.

[Second Embodiment]
In the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the refrigerant passage 162 a of the guide member 161 has an arc-shaped section 162 b extending along the circumferential direction of the guide member 161 on the outer peripheral surface 165 of the cylindrical main body 164.

In order to return to the portion 13, a lubricating oil passage 163 a for guiding the lubricating oil is provided.

  The guide member 161 shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 is also configured by integrally forming the refrigerant guide portion 162 and the lubricating oil guide portion 163, like the guide member 61 of the first embodiment. Thereby, space saving and cost reduction are possible.

Further, in the guide member 161 shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, since the refrigerant passage 162a has an arc-shaped section 162b extending along the outer peripheral surface 165 of the cylindrical main body 164, minute splashes of lubricating oil flowing along with the refrigerant are When the refrigerant passes through the arc-shaped section 162b, it is effectively centrifuged from the refrigerant.
In the guide member 161 shown in FIG. 7, the arc-shaped section 162b of the refrigerant passage 162a is branched from the straight section 162c to form an arc-shaped section 162b. The microscopic splashes of the lubricating oil that have been centrifuged are gathered together on the inner wall of the refrigerant passage 162a to form oil droplets larger than the microsplashes and fall down the casing 10.

  Further, the guide member 161 shown in FIG. 7 has a bypass flow path 162d that causes the lubricating oil, which has been centrifuged when the refrigerant passes through the arc-shaped section 162b, to flow obliquely downward into the lubricating oil path 163a. Furthermore, the separation effect between the refrigerant and the lubricating oil is enhanced.

  As another example of the arc-shaped section 162b, as shown in FIG. 8, even when the intermediate portion of the refrigerant passage 162a is formed into the arc-shaped section 162b, the minute splashes of the lubricating oil flowing together with the refrigerant may be When passing through 162b, it is effectively centrifuged from the refrigerant. Also in this case, the microscopic splashes of the lubricating oil that have been centrifuged are gathered on the inner wall of the refrigerant passage 162a and become oil droplets that are larger than the microsplashes, and fall below the casing 10.

  Furthermore, as still another example of the arc-shaped section 162b, as shown in FIG. 6, one wall 162e of the refrigerant passage 162a extends linearly, and the other wall 162f extends spirally to form an arc shape over the entire length. Even if it constitutes section 162b, the minute splash of lubricating oil which flows with the refrigerant is effectively centrifuged from the refrigerant when the refrigerant passes through arcuate section 162b. Also in this case, the microscopic splashes of the lubricating oil that have been centrifuged are gathered on the inner wall of the refrigerant passage 162a and become oil droplets that are larger than the microsplashes, and fall below the casing 10.

<Features of Second Embodiment>
(1)
In the guide member 161 of the second embodiment, the coolant passage 162a has an arc-shaped section 162b extending in the week direction or spiral (spiral) along the outer peripheral surface 165 of the cylindrical body 164. Fine oil droplets can be effectively centrifuged from the refrigerant as it passes through the arcuate section 162b. Therefore, the effect of separating the lubricating oil from the refrigerant is increased.

(2)
Further, since the guide member 161 shown in FIG. 7 has the bypass flow path 162d for flowing the centrifuged lubricating oil to the lubricating oil path, the effect of separating the refrigerant and the lubricating oil is further enhanced.

[Third Embodiment]
As shown in FIG. 10, the guide member 261 of the third embodiment is different in that it further has a protruding portion 264 that protrudes into the refrigerant flow. It is common with the guide member 61 provided in the hermetic compressor 1 of the embodiment.

  Each of the guide members 261 shown in FIG. 10 includes a refrigerant guide portion 262 and a lubricant guide portion 263. The refrigerant guide portion 262 has a refrigerant passage 262a for guiding refrigerant gas. The refrigerant passage 262a communicates between the discharge port 49 of the communication passage 46 of FIG. 1 and the motor cooling passage 55. The lubricating oil guide portion 263 is provided on the bottom wall of the casing 10 after the lubricating oil rising from the bottom wall portion 13 of the casing 10 in FIG. 1 through the lubricating oil passage 17a of the drive shaft 17 is supplied to the bearing 34 and the scroll compression mechanism 15. In order to return to the portion 13, a lubricating oil passage 263 a for guiding the lubricating oil is provided.

  Similarly to the guide member 61 of the first embodiment, the guide member 261 shown in FIG. 10 is also configured by integrally forming the refrigerant guide portion 262 and the lubricant guide portion 263. Thereby, space saving and cost reduction are possible.

  Furthermore, the guide member 261 shown in FIG. 10 further has a protruding portion 264 that protrudes into the flow of the refrigerant rising inside the guide member 261. When the flow of the refrigerant descends from the outer peripheral side of the stator 51 and rises from the inside as in the first embodiment (FIG. 1), the rising refrigerant gas collides with the protruding portion 264 of the guide member 261. The fine powder of lubricating oil contained in the refrigerant gas can be separated from the refrigerant gas. The separated fine splashes of lubricating oil gather near the lower surface of the protrusion 264 and become oil droplets larger than the fine splashes and fall below the casing 10.

  The protrusion 264 may have any shape that has an oil separation effect by temporarily interrupting the flow of the refrigerant gas rising inside the stator 51. For example, the protrusion 264 may have a perforated disk or a plurality of fins arranged radially. What is necessary is just to have such a shape. Further, the protruding portion 264 may be arranged with the inner peripheral side of the protruding portion 264 inclined upward or downward in consideration of conditions such as the oil separation effect and the flow rate of the refrigerant gas.

  The protruding portion 264 is integrally formed with the guide member 261, but a separate protruding portion 264 may be attached to the guide member main body.

<Features of Third Embodiment>
In the third embodiment, since the guide member 261 has the protruding portion 264 that protrudes into the flow of the refrigerant that rises inside, the rising refrigerant gas collides with the protruding portion 264 of the guide member 261. As a result, it is possible to separate the fine powder of lubricating oil contained in the refrigerant gas from the refrigerant gas.

  The present invention can be widely applied to a hermetic compressor having a compression medium passage and a lubricating oil passage inside a hermetic container.
