And through the aftercooler 19 for further post-cooling the compressed air separated from the inlet compressed air into the oil separator 4, allowing the flow of air only in the discharge direction in the middle of the outlet, If the pressure is not higher than a predetermined pressure, the discharge portion of the compressed air having a pressure check valve 11 which does not allow air flow is arranged. In addition, in the oil recovery container 3 and the oil separator 4, it is common to provide exhaust valves 10 and 13 in order to discharge the compressed air so that the pressure can be released.

Thereby, there exists an effect which can suppress generation | occurrence | production of the fog oil by foaming. When mist-like oil is generated, it is not easy to separate oil and compressed air in the oil separator 4 which will be described later, and as a result, the problem of easily containing oil in the discharged compressed air is likely to occur. This problem can be solved by the configuration of the pipe 20. However, the shape of the pipe 20 is not necessarily limited to this, as long as the purpose of preventing generation of mist oil is achieved.

In this embodiment, the piping The oil is supplied to the compressor main body 1 through the 36 and the pipe 37, and is connected to the oil cooling path including the oil cooler 5 through the oil temperature regulating valve 6.

The oil separator 4 is also connected with a path for discharging compressed air from which oil is separated. At the upper part of the oil separator 4, a pressure check valve 11 for discharging the compressed air from which oil is separated is provided. The pressure check valve 11 is not shown, but the compressed air is discharged from the oil separator 4. Is connected to inflow. Although not shown in the figure, the pressure check valve 11 has a valve body and a spring, and allows the flow of air only in the discharge direction so that the compressed air that flows in does not flow back, and also has a certain pressure.

May be taken.

The oil separator 4 is then evacuated to the atmosphere directly from the oil separator 4 in order to enable the pressure reduction of the oil separator 4 and the oil recovery container 3 conductive to the oil separator 4. The exhaust valve 13 is provided so that it may be. It is preferable that this exhaust valve 13 is a solenoid valve so that valve opening and closing may be performed, for example in conjunction with a compressor operation | movement operation. Moreover, unlike the exhaust valve 13, it is preferable that the safety valve 10 is provided so that pressure may be released in case of abnormality.

The rotary air compressor which concerns on this embodiment is comprised as mentioned above, and has the hanging part 40 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 so that this rotary air compressor may be installed in the lower part of a railway vehicle, for example. . The hanging part 40 has a flat plate shape, and is bent and processed so that one end of the flat plate may partially protrude vertically. Then, the elongated portion protrudes in the opposite direction to the rotary air compressor, and is located on the upper side of the aftercooler 5 to the oil cooler 19 provided above the rotary air compressor, so that both sides of the main body casing 22 are located. Installed in In the protruding portion of the hanging portion 40, a boring process for penetrating the bolt is provided, and the vehicle body mounting bolt 42 is provided with the anti-vibration pad 41 in this hole. This configuration facilitates installation of a rotary air compressor to the underside of the vehicle, and also makes it difficult to transmit vibrations of the vehicle to this rotary air compressor.

Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the operation form of the rotary air compressor which concerns on a present Example is demonstrated. First, the description will be given along the flow of air.

Air in the atmosphere, which is the raw material of the compressed air, is sucked into the suction dust filter 14 whose inside is negative pressure. The suction dust filter 14 is composed of several layers of filters, and the foreign matters, moisture, and the like, such as various dusts and the like existing in the air, are removed from the filter.

Clean air from which foreign matter has been removed is also directed to the intake valve 9. In the intake valve 9, the valve body 30 is positioned by the spring 34 so as to shield the air intake port of the compressor main body 1. Because of the negative pressure, the valve body 30 is pushed down by the intake air, and an inflow path of air passing into the compressor main body 1 is formed. Therefore, when no negative pressure is generated on the compressor main body 1 side of the valve body 30, air is not introduced and no movement of air occurs, and only the flow of air to the compressor main body 1 side is achieved. Will be allowed.

The compressor main body (1) has a rotating body having an impeller portion for imparting and compressing kinetic energy to air therein, which is connected to the electric motor (2) via a coupling (12). have. By this electric motor 2, the driving force for rotating to the rotating body in the compressor main body 1 is provided. In addition, the temperature increase device provided in the main body casing 22, such as the electric motor 2, is heat-released by the cooling fan 7 provided in the electric motor 2. As shown in FIG.

4 is a screw air compressor having two shafts, one of which is on the driving side and the other of which rotates by fitting.

The compressor main body 1 is supplied with oil at two parts and mixed with the compressed air. One oil is supplied from the air intake port, and the other oil is supplied directly to the compressor body 1. By this operation, the oil mixed with the compressed air has the effect of removing the heat of compression generated from the air in the compression process, the sealing effect of enhancing the airtightness by forming the oil film in the compressor main body 1, and It has the effect of removing the heat generated from the contact surface between the screws of each shaft.

Incoming compressed air compressed in the compressor body 1 and mixed with oil is discharged into the oil recovery container 3 through the discharge pipe 20. At the outlet of the pipe 20, compressed air containing oil collides with the oil attachment plate 24, and a part of the oil contained in the inlet compressed air is separated from the compressed air, and the inside of the oil recovery container 3 Accumulates in. At this time, the compressed air containing oil is discharged to pass through the oil temperature switch 18, and the oil temperature switch can detect the temperature of the inlet compressed air.

Compressed air containing the oil discharged to the compressor main body (1) passes through the pipe (35) and is introduced into the oil separator (4). In the oil separator 4, the oil and the compressed air are separated by the oil separating element 15 and the like therein.

Compressed air from which oil is separated is led to the pressure check valve (11). In the pressure checking valve 11, a valve body is provided through a spring so as to shield the outlet of the compressed air from the oil separator 4, and if there is discharge of the compressed air from the oil separator 4, the shielding is provided. Possible valve bodies are pressurized, whereby compressed air is discharged from the oil separator 4 through the outlet port. Since the valve body is pressed against the outlet port by a spring, the valve body that shields the outlet port is not formed in the outlet of the compressed air unless a surface pressure of a certain value or more is added. Therefore, the pressure of the compressed air discharged | emitted from the oil separator 4 is maintained above some fixed value.

The compressed air discharged through the pressure check valve 11 is led to the aftercooler 19 after being guided by the pipe 39. Here, the compressed air is further dehumidified and the compressed air is supplied to the outside. It is preferable to provide a dehumidifier on the wake side of the aftercooler 19 and to dry compressed air.

Next, a description will be given of the oil circulation system used for cooling the compressed air or the like. Since the oil mixed with the compressed air has been described according to the flow of air, it will be described until it is separated from the oil separator 4 and supplied to the compressor main body 1.

The oil separated in the oil separator 4 accumulates at the bottom of the oil separator 4. Since the oil is under a high pressure atmosphere by compressed air, the oil is guided through the pipe 36 toward the air inlet on the low pressure side, and the oil is supplied to the compressor main body 1 from the air inlet.

Similarly, oil is also introduced from the pipe through the bottom of the oil separator 4 to the oil temperature regulating valve 6 on the low pressure side. In the oil temperature regulating valve 6, the oil circulation system of either the pipe 38 or the pipe 37 is selected in accordance with the oil temperature. If the oil temperature is higher than a predetermined value, the pipe 38 is selected to cool the oil in the oil cooler 5, and if the oil temperature is lower than the predetermined value, the pipe 37 is selected. The oil guided to the pipe 37 is supplied to the compressor body 1 after the foreign matter in the oil is removed from the oil dust filter 16 and cleaned.

The rotary air compressor according to the present embodiment operates as described above, and provides compressed air to the outside. The rotary air compressor is installed in, for example, a lower portion of a railway vehicle using the above-described hanging portion 40. It can be used as a supply source of compressed air to equipment loaded on a railroad car and operating in compressed air.

The embodiment described above has the following effects.

(1) In the conventional rotary air compressor, it is possible to greatly reduce the size of the conventional rotary air compressor. As a result, when a source of compressed air must be provided in a limited space such as a vehicle, it becomes a highly effective source of compressed air. In particular, the typical use as a railway vehicle is mentioned. In the case of railroad cars, the vehicle width is limited because the distance between the running rails is determined, and the place of supply of the compressed air supply source is also restricted due to the space for the passenger compartment. Installation in a fairly limited space is inevitable. Therefore, the rotary air compressor which concerns on a present Example provides an effective means.

(2) In the conventional rotary air compressor, since the noise-compacting main body, which is a noise source, has to be exposed to the outside, the magnitude of the noise is particularly a problem when used for railway vehicles. However, since the noise source is completely covered by a container having a soundproofing function, a significant noise reduction can be achieved.

(3) In addition, when used in a railway vehicle, the installation place is limited to the lower part of the vehicle as described above. In the conventional rotary air compressor, the piping flow is inevitably exposed to the outside. Foreign matters such as gravel and small stones scattered on the surface collided with the exposed pipes, and had a fatal defect that was easily damaged. In order to prevent this, measures such as providing a protector to cover the pipes further exposed to the outside world can be used, and in order to complicate the structure and increase the components, practical measures are to be taken. Things had been difficult. However, according to the present embodiment, since no pipes exposed to the outside are present at all, collisions with pipes such as small stones do not occur, and the above problems can be fundamentally solved.

(4) In addition, in the conventional rotary air compressor, in order to compact the apparatus, it is necessary to reduce the volume of the oil accumulating container, and to foam the oil and the air to a small extent. Since it became easy to do this, the problem of mixing oil into compressed air has arisen. However, in the rotary air compressor according to the present embodiment, since the apparatus can be greatly compacted by means of not miniaturizing the oil storage container, the problem of foaming is solved, and the amount of oil mixed into the compressed air can be reduced. It can be suppressed significantly. Further, in the present embodiment, since the structure of the pipe for discharging the compressed air containing the oil in the oil recovery container is improved, the effect of reducing the amount of oil content can be obtained.

In addition, embodiment is not limited to the above-mentioned thing, For example, you may change and implement as follows.

(1) The arrangement structure of the suction dust filter is not necessarily coaxial with the compressor main body, but is adjacent to the axis and the vertical direction if the purpose of achieving compactness can be achieved by occupying the space efficiently. You may do it. As a result, the rotary air compressor may be installed as a single suction dust filter without being removed from the vehicle body.

(2) Even if the suction valve can achieve the purpose of compactness, the suction valve may not necessarily be inserted into the oil recovery container, or may be provided so as to form an air suction path between the suction dust filter and the oil recovery container.

(3) If it is not used for railway vehicles or the like, the meaning of preventing collisions with pipes such as foreign matters is lost. For this reason, in this case, as long as the purpose of compaction is even achieved, the oil piping for supplying oil from the oil separation system to the compressor main body does not necessarily have to pass through the oil recovery container.

(4) The connecting portion which transmits the driving force from the electric motor to the rotating body accommodated in the compressor main body may not necessarily be a coupling, for example, may be transmitted through a pulley and a belt.

(5) The rotating body accommodated in the compressor main body may not be a screw type but may be, for example, a two lobe type, a vane type, a scroll type, or a rolling piston type.

According to the invention of claim 1, since the oil recovery container is provided on the side wall of the main body casing in which the compressor body is installed, the compressor body is structured to be contained in the oil recovery container. It is equivalent to saving the installation space of the compressor main body, and it is possible to realize a significantly smaller size. In addition, since the compressor body, which is the source of noise generation, is shielded from the outside by an oil recovery container, it is surrounded by a soundproof wall, so that the problem of low noise can be solved at once.

According to the invention of claim 2, since the oil piping path from the oil separation system to the supply port of oil installed in the compressor main body passes through the oil recovery container, the pipe is protected by the oil recovery container without exposing to the outside world, When used for a railroad car or the like, the problem of damage to the pipe due to foreign matter collision such as small stones can be solved. As a matter of course, it is not necessary to provide a protector or the like for pipes, and in addition to the case of claim 1, the effect can be further reduced.

According to the invention of claim 3, since the suction valve is fitted to both the suction port and the oil recovery container, the space for installing the suction valve arrangement can be efficiently installed, and in addition to the case of claim 1 or 2, it is more compact. It is effective to plan anger.

According to the invention of claim 4, the oil recovery container and the suction dust filter, the elements of which the outer shape is substantially cylindrical, are adjacent to each other in parallel with the compressor body in a direction coaxial to create an extra space. In addition, since it can arrange | position so that space may be efficiently occupied, in addition to the case of Claims 1-3, the effect which can be made more compact can be achieved.
