Description

  The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a hermetic compressor, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a hermetic compressor in which a stator of an electric motor is fixed to a hermetic container using plastic deformation of the hermetic container.

  In general, a hermetic compressor is formed by housing an electric motor and an electric compressor body including a compression mechanism driven by the electric motor in a hermetic container.

  There are two methods for supporting and fixing the electric compressor section to the sealed container.

  In the hermetic compressor using the first fixing method, the electric compressor body composed of the electric motor and the compression mechanism portion is accommodated in the hermetic container in a state of being separated from the hermetic container, and is interposed between the compression mechanism portion and the hermetic container. It is elastically supported by an installed spring (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In such a spring-supported hermetic compressor described in Patent Document 1, the vibration generated by the electric motor is not directly transmitted to the hermetic container, so that the noise near the inverter carrier frequency is significantly reduced. Since the rigidity of the sealed container is lowered and the natural frequency is lowered, a large low-frequency sound is generated particularly when resonating when the inverter is driven.

  In the hermetic compressor using the first fixing method, the electric compressor body composed of the electric motor and the compression mechanism portion is accommodated and supported in the hermetic container in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the hermetic container (for example, Patent Document 2).

  In such a support method described in Patent Document 2, the stator of the electric compressor unit is shrink-fitted into the sealed container, and the compression mechanism unit is fixed to the sealed container by spot welding or the like.

  For this reason, the fixed frequency of the sealed container is increased, but there is no reinforcing portion, and resonance easily occurs at a low frequency that is difficult to cope with outside the sealed compressor (for example, a soundproofing material or a soundproof box).

  Further, the shrink fitting of the stator to the sealed container heats the entire sealed container, and thus requires a large energy for heating. Furthermore, this heating is often by high frequency heating and uses electrical energy.

  In addition, a cooling process for the sealed container that has become hot is provided in order to quickly determine the posture and position of the stator in the sealed container, or so as not to hinder manned work in a subsequent process. An electric fan, a refrigeration cycle, etc. are used together for this cooling.

  Even if the accuracy of a single product (for example, roundness or cylindricity of a sealed container) is kept to the micron level in the conventional manufacturing method (shrink fitting), the shrinkage temperature distribution is not uniform or the processing strain caused by heating of the parts is released. , The accuracy after installation is reduced. This deterioration in accuracy causes deterioration in the amount of unbalance in the air gap between the stator and rotor of the motor, leading to deterioration in starting characteristics and magnetic unbalanced sound.

  On the other hand, reducing the amount of electricity used in the manufacturing process of a hermetic compressor is a major issue for manufacturers in terms of protecting the global environment.

  Furthermore, in recent years, a concentrated winding electric motor is mounted on a compressor for the purpose of energy saving improvement of an air conditioner or the like (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

  When the electric motor described in Patent Document 3 is expected to have the same efficiency, it uses less copper wire than other distributed winding motors and is suitable for resource saving and weight reduction.

However, as described in Patent Document 1 and the like, vibration noise near the driven inverter carrier frequency is often transmitted to the sealed container and becomes noise. It is difficult to reduce electromagnetic noise in the motor as a sound source because of a trade-off relationship with performance. Moreover, it is known from the characteristic of an electromagnetic steel plate that when the compression load is applied to the stator by shrink fitting or press fitting, the motor efficiency is lowered.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described circumstances, and achieves energy saving during manufacturing, improves the accuracy of individual parts, improves motor efficiency, and reduces the electromagnetic noise of the motor. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, a method for manufacturing a hermetic compressor according to the present invention is a method for manufacturing a hermetic compressor in which a motor and a compression mechanism unit driven by the motor are housed in a hermetic container. In addition, the part of the sealed container facing the stator of the electric motor is locally heated, and the heating part is plastically deformed from the outside of the sealed container toward the stator side, whereby the stator is It is fixed to an airtight container.

  According to the method for manufacturing a hermetic compressor according to the present invention, energy saving at the time of manufacturing is realized, the accuracy of individual parts is improved, the motor efficiency is improved, and the motor electromagnetic noise can be reduced. Can be provided.

  A method for manufacturing a hermetic compressor according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a hermetic compressor manufactured by the method for manufacturing a hermetic compressor according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section showing a state in which the stator of the motor is fixed to the hermetic container. FIG. In addition, the components which do not attach | subject a code | symbol are not shown in figure.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a hermetic compressor 1 manufactured by the method for manufacturing a hermetic compressor according to the first embodiment includes a hermetic container 2. An electric compressor body 6 formed by integrating a compression mechanism unit 5 driven by the electric motor 3 via the rotary shaft 4 is accommodated.

  The airtight container 2 includes a main airtight container 2a and an end airtight container 2b fixed to the upper part of the main airtight container 2a.

  The electric motor 3 includes a stator 3b around which windings 3a are concentrated, and a rotor 3c that rotates within the stator 3b and is attached to the rotating shaft 4.

  The compression mechanism unit 5 is a rotary compression system, and includes two cylinders 5a (cylinder blocks). Each of the two cylinders 5a is formed with a cylinder chamber 5b, and the cylinder chamber 5b has a rotation shaft. An eccentric portion 4a provided integrally with the roller 4 and a roller 5c engaged with the peripheral surface of the eccentric portion 4a are disposed.

  This roller 5c has the same thickness along the circumferential direction, and rotates eccentrically with the eccentric portion 4a as the rotating shaft 4 rotates. A part of the outer peripheral wall along the axial direction of the roller 5c is substantially in contact with the inner peripheral wall of the cylinder chamber 5b, and the contact position is along the circumferential direction of the cylinder chamber 5b as the roller 5c rotates eccentrically. Displace gradually.

  One end of the blade 5e is elastically pressed and urged by a spring member accommodated in the spring accommodating hole, so that the other end of the blade 5e is in elastic contact with the peripheral surface of the roller 5c. The blade 5e protrudes into the cylinder chamber 5b and slides in a blade groove having one end opened in the cylinder chamber 5b and the other end opened in the back hole, and the cylinder chamber 5b communicates with the compression chamber and the suction hole 5d. It is divided into a suction chamber.

  The hermetic compressor 1 compresses the gas refrigerant sucked into the suction chamber in the compression chamber and discharges the gas refrigerant outside the hermetic container 2 as a high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant.

  Next, the manufacturing method of the hermetic compressor according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  The electric compressor body 6 is assembled in advance using the electric motor 3, the rotating shaft 4 and the compression mechanism unit 5.

  Thereafter, the electric compressor body 6 is assembled in the main hermetic container 2a.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the stator 3 b of the electric motor 3 is fitted into the sealed container 2 and fixed.

  This fixing is performed by locally heating a part of the airtight container 2 facing the stator 3b and plastically deforming the heating part from the outside of the airtight container 2 to the stator side, thereby fixing the stator to the airtight container. Do it.

  This fixing method will be specifically described.

  The inner diameter of the sealed container 2 is manufactured in a perfect circle shape with manufacturing tolerances.

A plurality of outer peripheral depressions (recesses) 3b ₂ are provided on the outer periphery 3b ₁ of the stator 3b inserted into the main sealed container 2a of the sealed container 2.

The gap between the outer periphery 3b ₁ of the inner peripheral 2a ₁ and the stator 3b of the main closed container 2a is substantially zero (partial lightly press-fitted by sliding fit to manufacturing tolerances). The stator 3b and the main sealed container 2a are not strong but are in a slight contact state.

After inserting the stator 3b into place locally the outer peripheral portion 2a ₂ of the sealed container 2 corresponding to the outer peripheral recess 3b ₂ of the stator 3b, the high-frequency heating or the like to the melting point near the material of the closed vessel 2 Heat with.

A portion softened by this heating is pushed with a rotary punch or the like, and a convex protrusion 2a ₃ is formed on the inner periphery 2a ₁ of the sealed container 2.

This convex protrusion 2a ₃ bites into the outer peripheral recess 3b ₂ of the stator 3b, and a holding force is generated between the sealed container 2 and the stator 3b. As a result, a fixed state that is soft in the normal direction is realized while securing strength in the rotation direction such as the upper and lower sides such as dropping and the motor torque.

  Note that local heating is not limited to high-frequency heating, and a laser may be used. As a result, heating within a local range that does not affect the whole is possible, and only the case inner diameter roundness of the heated portion is thermally deformed, the stator can be held, and plastic processing is unnecessary.

  When the fixing of the stator 3b to the sealed container 2 is completed, the end sealed container 2b is inserted into the main sealed container 2a and welded.

According to the manufacturing method of the hermetic compressor according to the first embodiment, approximately to zero, corresponding to the outer circumferential recess 3b ₁ the gap between the outer periphery 3b ₁ of the inner peripheral 2a ₁ and the stator 3b of the main closed container 2a Unlike the conventional shrink fitting that requires a large amount of energy, the outer peripheral portion 2a ₂ to be fixed is locally heated and plastically processed, so that the amount of heating heat is small and a large pressure input is required. do not do.

  Accordingly, it is possible to maintain the accuracy of the parts, to ensure various post-assembly accuracy such as the gap imbalance of the electric motor, and to realize energy saving during manufacturing.

  Furthermore, since the compression load is not applied to the stator due to shrink fitting or press fitting, there is no reduction in motor efficiency due to the characteristics of the electromagnetic steel sheet.

  Moreover, the propagation path of the electromagnetic sound near the inverter carrier frequency generated by the electric motor is blocked, and the electromagnetic sound is less likely to be radiated from the sealed container, thereby reducing the electric motor electromagnetic noise.

  Further, the stator and the main hermetic container are not strong but are in a slight contact state, and have a damping effect for suppressing the vibration of the case.

  According to the manufacturing method of the hermetic compressor of the first embodiment, the energy saving at the time of manufacturing is realized, the accuracy of individual parts is improved, the motor efficiency is improved, and the electromagnetic noise of the motor can be reduced. A manufacturing method is realized.

  Moreover, the manufacturing method of the hermetic compressor which concerns on 2nd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.

  In the second embodiment, a gap is formed between the stator and the main hermetic container, while the first embodiment is not strong between the stator and the main hermetic container but is in a slight contact state.

As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the manufacturing method of the hermetic compressor according to the second embodiment includes an electric motor 3 provided with at least one outer peripheral recess 3b ₂ on the outer periphery 3b _{1 of the} stator 3b, a rotating shaft, and An electric compressor body is assembled using the compression mechanism.

  Thereafter, the electric compressor body is incorporated into the main hermetic container 2a.

Periphery 3b ₁ of the stator 3b is a gap g is formed between the inner circumference 2a ₁ of the main closed container 2a.

The outer peripheral portion 2a ₂ of the sealed container 2 corresponding to the outer peripheral recess 3b ₂ of the stator 3b partially heated to the melting point near the material of the closed vessel 2.

A portion softened by this heating is pushed with a rotary punch or the like, and a convex protrusion 2a ₃ is formed on the inner periphery 2a ₁ of the sealed container 2.

This convex protrusion 2a ₃ bites into the outer peripheral recess 3b ₂ of the stator 3b, and a holding force is generated between the sealed container 2 and the stator 3b.

Further, a preferred position of the outer peripheral portion 2a ₂ of the sealed container 2, for example, a portion corresponding to the vicinity of the upper portion of the stator is locally heated to form a convex protrusion 2a ₄ to press and support the vicinity of the upper portion of the stator.

  As a result, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained with the minimum stator outer periphery processing, and further, there is little deterioration of the motor efficiency due to the outer periphery notch, and the punch part (convex shape) and the stator at the time of manufacture can be reduced. Positioning with the concave portion is easy and productivity is improved.

  The other manufacturing steps are not different from those of the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

  Moreover, the manufacturing method of the hermetic compressor which concerns on 3rd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.

  In the third embodiment, the first embodiment has a slight contact state between the stator and the main hermetic container, and the convex protrusion provided on the inner circumference of the hermetic container is bitten into the outer circumferential recess of the stator. On the other hand, a gap is provided between the sealed container and the stator, and a convex protrusion provided on the inner periphery of the sealed container is brought into contact with the outer periphery of the stator to support the stator.

  As shown in FIG. 4, for example, in the manufacturing method of the hermetic compressor according to the third embodiment, the electric compressor body is assembled using the electric motor 3 including the stator 3 b, the rotating shaft, and the compression mechanism unit.

  Thereafter, the electric compressor body is incorporated into the main hermetic container 2a.

Periphery 3b ₁ of the stator 3b is a gap g is formed between the inner circumference 2a ₁ of the main closed container 2a.

The outer periphery of the stator is not provided with an outer recess (recess), the inner diameter of the main sealed container 2a is made larger than the outer diameter of the stator b, and the main sealed container 2a is moved from the outside of the main sealed container 2a to the main sealed container 2a with a punch such as rotary caulking. A plurality of convex protrusions 2 a ₃ are provided on the inner diameter side by plastic working, and the stator 3 b is floated by several μ to several tens μm with respect to the inner periphery of the hermetic container 2 by the convex protrusions 2 a ₃ .

  When the total motor gap amount between the stator 3b and the rotor 3c is A, and the total gap amount between the stator and the hermetic container is B, A / 10 ≧ B is set.

  Thereby, vibration transmission can be suppressed by weakening the joint between the stator and the hermetic container by uniformly hitting a plurality of points. In addition, it is preferable that each convex portion is uniformly ½ of the B dimension, but when considering mass production of convex portion processing, it is necessary to allow variation (bias). This variation affects the starting characteristics of the shaft as an unbalanced amount of the motor gap. Therefore, by setting 10% or less of the motor gap normally set to about 0.5 to 0.7 mm as a motor gap unbalance allowable value, as shown in FIG. A compressor with good starting characteristics can be obtained. That is, FIG. 5 shows the characteristics with the horizontal axis as the ratio A / B of the total motor gap amount A between the stator 3b and the rotor 3c and the total gap amount B between the stator and the sealed container, and the vertical axis as the required starting torque. As shown, the larger the A / B (the smaller the B / A), the smaller the required starting torque, and it becomes almost constant at 10 or more (B / A is 1/10 or less).

  In the fourth embodiment, the first embodiment is in a slight contact state between the stator and the main hermetic container, and the convex protrusion provided on the inner circumference of the hermetic container is bitten into the outer circumferential recess of the stator. On the other hand, a gap is provided between the hermetic container and the stator, and a convex protrusion provided on the inner periphery of the hermetic container is brought into contact with a notch formed on the outer periphery of the stator to support the stator.

  As shown in FIG. 6, for example, in the method for manufacturing a hermetic compressor according to the fourth embodiment, the electric compressor body is assembled using the electric motor 3 including the stator, the rotating shaft, and the compression mechanism unit.

  Thereafter, the electric compressor body is incorporated into the main hermetic container 2a.

Periphery 3b ₁ is mainly closed lightly press-fitted or gap g between the inner circumference 2a ₁ of the container 2a of the stator 3b is formed.

A notch 3b ₃ is provided on the outer periphery of the stator 3b. The outer peripheral portion 2a ₂ of the sealed container 2 corresponding to the rotation direction end of the notch 3b ₃ is partially heated to near the melting point of the constituent material of the sealed container 2.

A portion softened by this heating is pushed with a rotary punch or the like to form a convex protrusion 2a ₃ on the inner periphery 2a ₁ of the hermetic container 2 to support the stator 3b.

  As a result, the movement of the stator in the rotational direction can be eliminated without performing special processing on the stator.
