Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for measuring a refrigerant flow in a compressor,

[0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerant discharge flow rate measuring apparatus for a compressor, and more particularly, to a refrigerant discharge flow rate measuring apparatus for a compressor, which comprises a bypass path branching from a main discharge path of a compressor refrigerant, And more particularly, to a refrigerant discharge flow rate measuring device for a compressor capable of contributing to minimizing loss of unnecessary driving force by controlling an optimal state.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, compressors for compressing refrigerant in a vehicle cooling system have been developed in various forms. In such compressors, there are a reciprocating type in which a refrigerant is compressed and a reciprocating type in which a refrigerant is compressed, There is a rotary type.

The reciprocating compressor includes a crank type in which a driving force of a drive source is transmitted to a plurality of pistons using a crank, a swash plate type in which a swash plate is transmitted, and a wobble plate type in which a wobble plate is used. A vane rotary type using a rotary shaft and a vane, and a scroll type using a revolving scroll and a fixed scroll.

On the other hand, as the swash plate type compressor, there are a fixed displacement type in which the installation angle of the swash plate is fixed and a variable displacement type in which the discharge displacement can be changed by changing the inclination angle of the swash plate.

FIG. 1 shows the construction of a general variable capacity swash plate type compressor. Hereinafter, a schematic configuration of the variable displacement swash plate type compressor will be described with reference to FIG.

A variable capacity swash plate type compressor 10 is provided with a cylinder block 20 forming a part of an outer appearance and a skeleton of the compressor 10. At this time, a center bore 21 is formed through the center of the cylinder block 20, and a rotation shaft 60 is rotatably installed in the center bore 21. [

A plurality of cylinder bores 22 are formed through the cylinder block 20 so as to radially surround the center bore 21. A piston 70 is installed in the cylinder bore 22 so as to reciprocate linearly. At this time, the piston 70 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the cylinder bore 22 is a cylindrical space corresponding to the cylinder bore 22. The refrigerant in the cylinder bore 22 is compressed by the reciprocating motion of the piston 70.

The front housing 30 is coupled to the front of the cylinder block 20. The front housing 30 faces the cylinder block 20 to form a crank chamber 31 together with the cylinder block 20. [

A pulley 32 connected to an external power source such as an engine is rotatably mounted on the front of the front housing 30 so that the rotary shaft 60 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the pulley 32.

A rear housing (40) is coupled to the rear of the cylinder block (20). A discharge chamber 41 is formed in the rear housing 40 along a position adjacent to the outer circumferential edge of the rear housing 40 so as to selectively communicate with the cylinder bore 22. The discharge chamber 41 is formed in a radial direction of the discharge chamber 41 A suction chamber 42 is formed at the center of the rear housing 40.

A valve plate 50 is interposed between the cylinder block 20 and the rear housing 40 and the discharge chamber 41 is connected to the cylinder bore 22 through the discharge port 51 formed in the valve plate 50. [ And the suction chamber 42 communicates with the cylinder bore 22 through the suction port 52 of the valve plate 50. [

The swash plate 61 is provided on the rotary shaft 60. The swash plate 61 is connected to the respective pistons 70 by a shoe 62 provided along the rim of the swash plate 61. By the rotation of the swash plate 61, (70) reciprocates linearly in the cylinder bore (22).

The angle of the swash plate 61 relative to the rotary shaft 60 is variable so that the refrigerant discharge amount of the compressor 10 can be adjusted. To this end, the discharge chamber 41 and the crank chamber 31 are communicated with each other Is controlled by a pressure control valve (not shown).

On the other hand, in the case of the variable displacement swash plate type compressor, since the compression load variation of the compressor is related to the engine load fluctuation, it is necessary to detect the torque fluctuation of the compressor and to control the engine speed in consideration of the detection torque fluctuation. Fig. 2 shows a flow rate detecting apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2007-303416 (Patent Document 1) for detecting the torque fluctuation of the compressor.

The flow rate detecting device shown in Fig. 2 is provided in a discharge flange 2 serving as a flange member joined to the outside of the cylinder block 1, and includes a movable portion 3 accommodated in the discharge flange 2, A coil spring 4 for resiliently supporting the movable body 3 and a magnetic sensor 5 as a detection sensor fixed to the surface of the discharge flange 2. The coil spring 4 has a body 3,

At this time, in the process of moving the movable body 3 up and down by the pressure difference between the high pressure chamber 6a and the low pressure chamber 6b, the magnetic flux density change of the magnet 3a is detected by the magnetic sensor 5, It is to be appreciated that the amplifier 7 which receives the detection value from the magnetic sensor 5 via the connection line 7a calculates the discharge capacity of the compressor on the basis of the flow rate data and performs the feedback control of the pressure regulating valve, As shown in FIG.

However, in the conventional flow rate detecting device as described above, since a separate throttling portion must be formed between the high-pressure chamber 6a and the low-pressure chamber 6b for installing the movable body, the pressure loss is accompanied thereby, There is a problem in that the accuracy of the measured value is low at a low flow rate when the throttle portion is of a fixed size.

Further, since the flow rate detecting apparatus of the conventional compressor is a system for estimating the discharge flow rate through the differential pressure detected between the high-pressure chamber 6a and the low-pressure chamber 6b, the level of the differential pressure detected when the discharge flow rate is small is also low The measurement of the flow rate can not be performed. Particularly, since the flow rate detecting apparatus of the conventional compressor calculates the discharge flow rate of the refrigerant by the differential pressure which is a pressure difference before and after the movable body 3, it is essential to ideally maintain the differential pressure before and after the function of the movable body 3, The leakage of the refrigerant gas between the movable body 3 and the surrounding portion of the movable body 3 is inevitably caused due to the structure in which the movable body 3 is moved according to the degree of the differential pressure generated by the flow of the refrigerant gas, This results in a failure to measure the exact flow rate.

A pulley 240 connected to an external power source (not shown) such as an engine is rotatably installed at the front of the front housing 220 and the rotation shaft 140 rotates in conjunction with rotation of the pulley 240 .

The rear housing 260 is coupled to the rear portion of the cylinder block 120. The rear housing 260 is formed with a discharge chamber 262 along a position adjacent to the outer circumferential edge of the rear housing 260 so as to selectively communicate with the cylinder bore 160. The discharge chamber 262 has a radius A suction chamber 264 is formed at a central portion of the rear housing 260. As shown in FIG.

A valve plate 280 is interposed between the cylinder block 120 and the rear housing 260. The discharge chamber 262 is connected to the cylinder bore 282 through a discharge port 282 formed in the valve plate 280, And the suction chamber 264 communicates with the cylinder bore 160 through an inlet port 284 of the valve plate 280. [

The swash plate 200 installed on the rotary shaft 140 is connected to the respective pistons 180 by a shoe 202 provided along the rim of the swash plate 200. The piston 180 is rotated by the rotation of the swash plate 200, And the cylinder bore 160 is reciprocated linearly. The angle of the swash plate 200 relative to the rotation axis 140 may be varied so that the amount of refrigerant discharged from the compressor 100 may be adjusted. For this purpose, the discharge chamber 262, The opening degree of the flow passage communicating with the pressure regulating valve 222 is adjusted by a pressure control valve (not shown).

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of only the configuration of the refrigerant discharge flow rate measuring apparatus shown in FIG. 3, and shows the state of the compressor at the same time. 3 and 4, the rear housing 260 includes a main discharge passage 300 for discharging the refrigerant to the outside through an internal discharge chamber 262, and the main discharge passage 300, The bypass passage 310 is branched from the branch passage 310 to define a separate flow path and then joins with the main discharge passage 300 to form a bypass passage 310 for allowing refrigerant to flow out, A chamber 320 of a predetermined volume is formed in the flow path of the refrigerant.

The bypass passage 310 includes an inlet 312 for introducing the refrigerant into the chamber 320 and an outlet 312 for discharging the refrigerant from the chamber 320 to the main discharge passage 300. [ And the bypass passage 310 is formed through the inlet 312 of the bypass passage and the outlet 314 of the bypass passage, And is connected to the connection terminal 300 in a branched manner.

The chamber 320 is provided with a spool valve 330 that adjusts the displacement in accordance with the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing from the main discharge passage 300 through the bypass passage 310.

The spool valve 330 is a non-magnetic material and includes a first land 331 movably installed in the chamber 320 in a hermetic state so as to keep the inlet 312 of the bypass passage always open, The control unit controls the opening and closing of the bypass passage to the outlet 314 at a position spaced from the first land 331 in cooperation with the operation of the compressor 100, And a second land 332 that is set so as to have a smaller cross sectional area than the land portions 331 and 332 to allow the flow of the coolant between the first land 331 and the second land 332, (333).

In this case, the hydraulic pressure area of the first land 331 is set to be smaller than the hydraulic pressure area of the second land 332. Accordingly, when the compressor 100 is operated, if the refrigerant flows into the chamber 320 through the inlet 312 of the bypass passage, the spool valve 330 moves upward The bypass passage 310 is changed to a state as shown in FIG. 5, so that the bypass passage 310 is opened.

The spool valve 330 may further include a first return spring 334 that provides an elastic force to keep the outlet 314 of the bypass passage closed when the compressor 100 is in operation, The first return spring 334 is installed to urge the free end of the second land 332 in the chamber 320 toward the first land 331.

In this case, the spool valve 330 keeps the bottom surface of the first land 331 in contact with the chamber 320 while the compressor 100 is being driven. That is, the chamber 320 is formed so that the ratio of the compressor 100 can be in contact with the bottom surface of the first land 331 of the spool valve 330 at the same time.

The spool valve 330 includes a first land 331 and a second land 332 having different pressure receiving areas due to the pressure of the refrigerant introduced into the chamber 320 when the compressor 100 is operated, 5 by the force balance relationship between the bypass passage 310 and the bypass passage 310. As shown in FIG.

In addition, the chamber 320 may form a drain hole (not shown) communicable with the outside from at least one of the first land 331 and the second land 332 to discharge the refrigerant leaked The bar, in particular, the drain hole is set to communicate with the suction chamber of the compressor 100, and serves to re-supply the refrigerant leaked.

Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, in another embodiment of the present invention, the spool valve 330 includes, in addition to the components shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, A first return spring 334 for providing an elastic force to keep the outlet 314 of the bypass passage 314 in a closed state and a second return spring 334 for providing an elastic force to switch the outlet 314 of the bypass passage to the open state when the compressor 100 is operated The first return spring 334 is arranged to move the free end of the second land 332 in the chamber 320 toward the first land 331 And the second return spring 335 is installed in the chamber 320 so as to press the free end of the first land 331 in the direction toward the second land 332.

At this time, the elastic force of the first return spring 334 and the second return spring 335 causes the inlet 312 of the bypass passage to be opened simultaneously with the ratio of the compressor 100, The spool valve 330 is set at a position where the spool valve 314 is closed so that when the compressor 100 is operated, the pressure of the refrigerant flowing into the chamber 320 is increased, 7, due to the force equilibrium relationship between the first land 331 and the second land 332 and the force balance relationship accompanied by the difference in elastic force between the first return spring 334 and the second return spring 335, And moves to the illustrated state to open the bypass passage 310.

In this case, the chamber 320 may form a drain hole (not shown) communicable with the outside from at least one of the first land 331 and the second land 332 to discharge the refrigerant leaked In particular, the drain hole is set to communicate with the suction chamber of the compressor 100, so that the refrigerant can be supplied again.

5 to 8, the spool valve 330 is provided with a magnetic body 340 therein, and the magnetic body 340 is displaced in accordance with the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing through the bypass passage 310 Moves with the spool valve 330 which is different.

The magnetic sensor 350 performs a function of detecting a change in the magnetic flux density which is accompanied by the displacement of the magnetic body 340. Particularly, the magnetic body 340 is installed in the groove 333 of the spool valve 330 and is connected to the spool valve 330 by the flow of the refrigerant through the bypass passage 310 when the compressor 100 is operated. Thereby allowing the magnetic sensor 350 to detect the magnetic flux density to be changed.

Alternatively, the magnetic body 340 may be installed on the first land 331 of the spool valve 330 shown in Figs. 4 and 5, or may be provided on the spool valve 330 shown in Figs. 6 and 7 The first land 331 and the second land 332 are provided in the first land 331 and the second land 332, respectively, so that a change in magnetic flux density that can be measured by the magnetic sensor 350 can be detected more precisely. In this case, it is needless to say that the magnetic sensor 350 is installed at a position covering the entire displacement section of the magnetic body 340 from the side of the chamber 320.

Therefore, the refrigerant discharge flow rate measuring apparatus of the compressor according to the present invention includes a bypass passage 310 branched from the main discharge passage 300 communicating with the refrigerant discharge chamber 262 and connected to the main discharge passage 300 again. And a spool valve 330 for generating a dependent displacement in response to the discharge flow rate of the refrigerant flowing in the bypass passage 310 during the operation of the compressor 100. The spool valve 330 moves together with the spool valve 330 The amount of the refrigerant discharged through the main discharge passage 300 can be reduced by providing a magnetic body 340 and a magnetic sensor 350 for detecting a change in magnetic flux density from the displacement of the magnetic body 340 on the outside, As shown in FIG.

In this case, the total amount of the refrigerant discharged through the main discharge passage 300 is different from the amount of the refrigerant flowing through the bypass passage 310, but the flow cross sectional area of the main discharge passage 300 and the bypass passage 310 The total flow amount of the refrigerant can be easily calculated from the flow amount of the refrigerant detected from the displacement of the spool valve 330 using the bypass passage 310. [

That is, the present invention measures the change of the magnetic flux density based on the displacement of the spool valve interlocked with the discharge flow rate of the refrigerant in the bypass path branching from the main discharge path, rather than measuring the discharge flow rate by the differential pressure as in the prior art, Since the discharge flow rate is calculated, more accurate measurement of the discharge flow rate is made possible.

As a result, the present invention can optimally control the torque required to operate the compressor 100 by accurately measuring the amount of refrigerant discharged during operation of the compressor 100, thereby reducing unnecessary loss of the engine driving force Can be minimized and energy efficiency can be improved.

Further, since the present invention does not require the formation of a throttling portion as compared with a refrigerant flow rate measuring apparatus of the conventional compressor, it is easy to manufacture equipment, and in particular, when the differential pressure between the high-pressure chamber and the low- The problem that the accurate measurement of the flow rate can not be performed can be solved.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be construed as limited to the particular details of the embodiments set forth herein. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
