Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hermetically encapsulated refrigerant compressor having a hermetically sealed compressor housing, in whose interior a piston-cylinder unit, which compresses a refrigerant, operates, whose cylinder is closed using a valve plate having a pressure hole and a suction hole, and a suction channel and a pressure channel are provided, via which refrigerant is suctioned via a suction valve into the suction hole and is compressed via a pressure valve from the pressure hole into the pressure channel, the suction channel being formed by a channel-shaped component, which is connected to the valve plate to form a seal along a suction contact edge and connects the suction hole to a preferably provided suction noise damper, according to the preamble of Claim 1 or 2 .
  • Such refrigerant compressors have been well-known for some time and predominantly are used in refrigerators or refrigerated cases. The piece count produced yearly is accordingly high.
  • the refrigerant process per se has been known for some time.
  • the boiling refrigerant is vaporized in the evaporator by energy absorption from the space to be cooled and finally overheats and is pumped to a higher energy level using the refrigerant compressor, where it dissipates heat via a condenser and is conveyed back into the evaporator via a throttle, in which pressure reduction and cooling of the refrigerant occurs.
  • the refrigerant is strongly heated on its way from the evaporator (cooling space) to the intake valve of the piston-cylinder unit because of the construction.
  • the intake of the refrigerant occurs via a suction channel coming directly from the evaporator during an intake stroke of the piston-cylinder unit. From this suction channel, the refrigerant is suctioned via a suction noise damper and a suction valve into the interior of the cylinder, where it is compressed by the piston and expelled via a pressure valve from the interior of the cylinder into a pressure channel leading to the cooling chamber.
  • Known refrigerant compressors have a construction in which the cylinder housing accommodating the piston is terminated by a valve plate having the suction and/or pressure holes. The valve plate is used as a seat for a cylinder cover, which is typically screwed to the valve plate and the cylinder housing. The cylinder cover has intermediate walls, which divide the cavity between cylinder cover and valve plate into chambers, which then form the suction and/or pressure channel, via which the refrigerant is suctioned into the cylinder or expelled therefrom.
  • the suction channel typically discharges directly into the interior of the compressor housing, which is encapsulated hermetically sealed, in proximity to the entry opening into a suction noise damper, which reduces the intake noise of the piston-cylinder unit and is typically constructed from multiple volumes which are connected to one another, as well as having the cited entry opening and an exit opening which presses against the suction hole of the valve plate to form a seal.
  • embodiment variants are also known, for example, from WO 03/038280, in which the suction channel is conducted directly into the suction noise damper, without a bypass via the interior of the compressor housing. In this way, the mixing of the refrigerant flows, which results in heating of the refrigerant at the beginning of the compression procedure, may not occur.
  • this solution has the disadvantage that there is usually a greater pressure drop during the intake, which reduces the volumetric efficiency and thus the energy efficiency to varying degrees.
  • All known refrigerant compressors have an identical construction of the piston-cylinder unit, however, in particular of the cylinder housing, which is closed using a valve plate and a cylinder cover adjoining thereto.
  • the cylinder cover preferably covers the entire valve plate, which also has the suction hole and the pressure hole.
  • the suction valve temporarily closing the suction hole and the pressure valve temporarily closing the pressure hole are also situated on the valve plate.
  • the cylinder cover is typically provided with a recess for the suction channel, and/or for the end section of the suction noise damper, which discharges into the suction hole.
  • the refrigerant heated by the compression procedure is pressed via the pressure valve and the pressure hole out of the cylinder into the cylinder cover, where, because of the design of the cylinder cover, it fills up the cylinder cover completely at least in the section forming a pressure channel and thus also comes into contact with the valve plate forming a part of this pressure channel. Because of this, the temperature of the valve plate essentially corresponds to the temperature of the compressed refrigerant. Because the gas in the interior of the cylinder is colder than the valve plate over more than 300° crank angle, a heat flow occurs directly from the valve plate or indirectly from the valve plate to the cylinder wall and from there to the gas in the interior of the cylinder, which has a negative effect on the energy efficiency.
  • the high temperature existing in the cylinder cover also causes a heat flow in the direction of the end section of the suction noise damper, which is enclosed by the cylinder cover, but by which the refrigerant coming from the suction noise damper, which is still to be compressed, is also undesirably heated.
  • the known refrigerant compressor designs act contrary to the object cited at the beginning, namely a reduction of the suction temperature and the expulsion temperature, because of their cylinder cover design.
  • Claims 1 or 2 describe a preferred embodiment variant of the sealed connection of the components forming the suction and/or pressure channel to the valve plate to be able to guarantee suppression of outflow of the refrigerant from the channels into the interior of the compressor housing.
  • the implementation of the sealing beads in connection with the sealing projections causes a significantly lower pressure force to be required between pressure and/or suction channel and valve plate than between cylinder cover and valve plate in known cylinder heads.
  • the known embodiment variants described above additionally have the disadvantage that the refrigerant heats up too much on its path from the entry into the interior of the compressor housing to the suction hole. Measurements have shown that heating by more than 20° C. occurs between a point in the suction channel shortly before the entry into the compressor housing and the first volume of the suction noise damper.
  • the main cause of this undesired heating of the refrigerant is the fact that fresh refrigerant flowing from the suction channel into the compressor housing is mixed with refrigerant already located in the compressor housing.
  • this refrigerant has a higher temperature because of the heat released by the piston-cylinder unit in operation than the refrigerant flowing from the suction channel into the compressor housing, so that a mixing temperature results upon mixing of the two refrigerant streams which is higher in any case than the temperature of the refrigerant in the suction channel before entry into the compressor housing.
  • the cause of the mixing is the fact that the intake valve, which is seated on the valve plate and alternately closes and releases the suction hole, only releases the suction hole over a crankshaft angle range of 180° and therefore refrigerant may only be suctioned into the cylinder of the piston-cylinder unit within this time.
  • the suction valve is closed during the other 180° crankshaft angle range, the compression cycle, but the refrigerant coming from the evaporator has a nearly constant mass flow, so that it still flows into the compressor housing even when the suction valve is closed and remains there and cools the piston-cylinder unit and heats up at the same time.
  • the pressure oscillations during the compression phase due to the pressure oscillations during the compression phase, further flow procedures occur from the compressor housing to the suction noise damper and vice versa, which cause additional mixing of the refrigerant.
  • an independent component is also provided according to Claim 2 , which forms the pressure channel and completely envelops it. By direct connection of this component to the pressure hole, the pressure channel is completely thermally separated from the valve plate.
  • These components allow the direct exit of the hot, compressed refrigerant via the pressure hole into the pressure channel, without having to flow out along a section of the valve plate. Only the area of the valve plate immediately surrounding the pressure hole comes into contact with the hot refrigerant on its side facing away from the piston. The heat transfer from the hot, already compressed refrigerant to the valve plate may thus be drastically reduced in relation to typical cylinder heads in refrigerant compressors.
  • valve plate and the cylinder wall remain cooler and thus allow a dissipation of the heat from the interior of the cylinder housing, and/or prevent the flow of heat into the gas in the cylinder. Furthermore, in this way, the heat transfer from the valve plate to the suction hole and thus into the suction channel may also be reduced, by which the intake temperature may be lowered.
  • the area of the pressure channel which is incident on the valve plate i.e., the area which lies inside the pressure contact edge, may be dimensioned precisely and optimized in regard to heat transfer by the characterizing features of Claim 4 . It is necessary on one hand for the pressure hole to be inside this area and on the other hand for the transition between pressure channel and pressure hole to be implemented for favorable flow and nonetheless allow a sealed connection. Because, according to the present invention, the pressure channel or more precisely the last section of this channel is incident essentially perpendicularly on the pressure hole and thus on the valve plate, to prevent a heat transfer from the valve plate to the pressure channel or vice versa, the shape of the pressure contact edge may be selected in such a way that the refrigerant only flows around the valve plate along a small area.
  • the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the pressure hole to the area enclosed by the pressure contact edge is more than 1/12.
  • the component forming the pressure channel has a section directly adjoining the pressure hole and leading away from the valve plate and a further section adjoining this section, which runs radially outward in relation to the cylinder hole, preferably at a distance to the valve plate and preferably parallel thereto.
  • the compressed refrigerant may thus be conveyed rapidly away from the valve plate and its heat dissipation to the valve plate may be prevented or reduced.
  • the section leading away from the valve plate and/or the further section of the pressure channel is/are manufactured from poorly conductive plastic, by which the heat dissipation of the compressed refrigerant may be reduced still further.
  • an insulating material preferably made of rubber or plastic, is situated between the further section and the valve plate to reduce the heat transfer from the compressed refrigerant to the valve plate still further.
  • the characterizing features of Claim 9 namely the one-piece manufacture of each component and/or the joint one-piece manufacture of the two components forming the pressure and suction channels, in the latter case the two components manufactured jointly in one piece being in contact at least along an intermediate wall, provide the advantage of simplified manufacture.
  • the component comprising the two channels may thus be manufactured from plastic using injection molding, by which the heat transfer from the pressure channel into the interior of the compressor housing, from the interior of the compressor housing into the suction channel, and in the area of the suction or pressure contact edge into the valve plate may be reduced still further.
  • the characterizing features of Claim 10 provide that the pressure valve closing the pressure hole is situated in the component forming the pressure channel.
  • the valve plate may thus be manufactured more simply, i.e., in fewer work steps, because providing a fastener for the pressure valve in the valve plate is no longer necessary. Simultaneously, implementing this feature allows pre-assembling of pressure channel and pressure valve and/or, jointly with the features of Claim 10 , pre-assembling of pressure channel and pressure valve including suction channel.
  • the valve plate is fastened to the cylinder housing a clamping element which clamps the valve plate to the cylinder housing at least along a section of its circumference, but preferably along the entire circumference.
  • the clamping element is engageable at an end section on undercuts provided on the cylinder housing according to the characterizing features of Claim 16 .
  • valve plate is clamped to the cylinder housing the other end section, which forms a first clamping leg.
  • the cylinder housing may also be provided with a shoulder, in which the valve plate is at least partially countersunk to allow positioning thereof, because positioning by screw connections as is known in typical cylinder heads of refrigerant compressors is no longer possible because of the clamping, in a preferred embodiment variant, the surface of the valve plate facing away from the piston terminating flush with the cylinder housing.
  • the components forming the suction and/or pressure channels are fastened to the valve plate using further clamping legs situated on the clamping element. Therefore, the use of screws for fastening the cylinder head may be entirely dispensed with.
  • a separate further clamping element may be provided, which clamps the components forming the suction and pressure channels to the valve plate, this separate clamping element being able to be engaged with the clamping element.
  • valve plate is fastened using separate fasteners, such as screws, to the cylinder housing, but the components forming the pressure and/or suction channels are clamped to the valve plate, thus, a combination of clamping and screwing.

  • the pressure channel is formed by the component 8 according to the present invention
  • the suction channel is formed by the component 9 .
  • Both components 8 , 9 are independent of one another and are particularly also independent of the valve plate 2 , to which they are connected to form a seal along a contact edge, however, namely a pressure contact edge 13 or a suction contact edge 17 , which will be discussed in greater detail later.
  • the components 8 , 9 which may also be referred to as pressure channel 8 and suction channel 9 , each delimit a completely autonomous channel, which they completely envelop up to incidence on the valve plate.
  • the component 8 forming the pressure channel has a section 8 a , which directly adjoins the pressure hole 10 and leads away from the valve plate 2 , and a further section 8 b adjoining this section 8 a , which runs essentially radially outward in relation to the cylinder hole, and preferably parallel to the valve plate 2 at a distance Z thereto (see also FIGS. 10 and 11 ).
  • the distance Z between the component 8 and the valve plate 2 causes optimum insulation of the valve plate 2 from the pressure channel, so that heat transfer from the compressed, hot refrigerant in the pressure channel 8 to the valve plate 2 and to the suction channel 9 is strongly prevented here.
  • the component 8 forms a pressure chamber, which is situated in the section 8 a of the pressure channel 8 leading away from the valve plate 2 and does not fall below a defined minimum volume as a fraction of the cooling performance.
  • This pressure chamber which is also identified by 8 a in the following, is used for the purpose of avoiding excess pressures possibly arising during expulsion of the refrigerant from the cylinder.

  • the required surface pressure is the same in both systems, but the seal areas differ greatly, however, namely a long wide seal in the case of the paper seal and a short narrow seal area in the case of the system of sealing bead 23 —sealing projection 22 .
  • the sealing system functions independently of the material pairs used.
  • typical material pairs are possible, such as metal (valve plate 2 )—metal (components 8 , 9 ) or also metal (valve plate 2 )—flowable plastic (components 8 , 9 ) or plastic (valve plate 2 )—flowable plastic (components 8 , 9 ).
  • the surface pressure required for the present application may be specified as 5 to 20 N/mm 2 .
  • An especially preferred geometric shape of the sealing bead 23 is the V-shape or U-shape as shown in FIGS. 24 through 31 , that of the sealing projection 23 is the pin shape, the free end of the sealing projection preferably being implemented as flattened and/or rounded.
  • FIG. 24 shows a simple design of the sealing system having V-shaped sealing bead 23 and pin-shaped sealing projection 22 .
  • FIG. 25 shows a sealing bead 23 formed by two projecting ribs on the valve plate 2 , which works together with a pin-shaped sealing projection 22 .
  • the pin-shaped sealing projection 22 is implemented as flattened on its free end.
  • two pin-shaped sealing projections 22 are provided on the pressure channel 8 , which delimit a V-shaped sealing bead 23 , in which the pin-shaped sealing projection 22 situated on the valve plate 2 engages.
  • sealing beads 23 are also situated on the valve plate 2 , in which the two sealing projections 22 situated on the pressure channel 8 engage, so that a type of meshing occurs between the components 8 , 9 forming the pressure channel and the suction channel and the valve plate 2 .
  • the pin-shaped sealing projections 22 are provided with a bevel on their free end area.
  • FIGS. 27 through 31 show refinements of the sealing system just described, the pin-shaped sealing projections 22 also being implemented as rounded on their free end area.
  • the sealing system according to the present invention may be used both in cylinder heads according to the present invention described in this application and also in cylinder heads according to the prior art, i.e., using cylinder covers.
  • the cylinder cover has the sealing projection 22 or the sealing bead 23 and the valve plate 2 has the corresponding counterpart.
  • FIGS. 22 and 23 show further views of the additional further embodiment variants of the cylinder head from FIG. 21 .
  • FIGS. 32 through 35 show an additional alternative embodiment variant of a cylinder head having the components 8 , 9 .
  • the valve plate 2 is covered, with the exception of the suction or pressure hole 16 , 10 , by a plastic sheath 25 , which has a section facing away from the cylinder housing 1 and a section facing toward the cylinder housing.
  • the components 8 , 9 forming the pressure and suction channels are integrated in the plastic layer 25 , i.e., they also comprise plastic.
  • the production is performed in multiple steps in this case.
  • valve plate 2 is extrusion coated using plastic 25 (insert technology), pins 28 , which are used for location positioning of the pressure valve 15 (corresponding to the receptacle devices 19 ), also already being injected on the side of the valve plate 2 facing away from the cylinder housing 1 .
  • the side facing away from the piston 4 is extrusion coated flat. No retention devices for the suction valve are required here. Only an exposed area for the location positioning of the suction valve is to be provided. The suction valve itself is clamped between the front face of the cylinder housing 1 and valve plate 2 .
  • valve plate 2 is fastened to the cylinder housing 1 using clamping element 7 , as in the prior embodiment variants.
  • FIGS. 36 and 37 show an embodiment variant of the cylinder head in which a further clamping element 29 is provided in addition to clamping element 7 .
  • This further clamping element is fastened to clamping element 7 and/or engaged therewith according to the present invention.
  • a plate-shaped element 30 preferably made of metal, forming the pressure valve 15 is provided on the valve plate 2 in this case, which is clamped to the valve plate 2 by the clamping element 7 .
  • the opening boundary 26 for the pressure valve 15 is integrated in the component 8 as already shown in FIG. 21 or 35 .
  • the components 8 , 9 are manufactured in this case as a one-piece plastic part.
  • the components 8 , 9 are glued to the valve plate 2 , the pressure valve 15 being situated in the component 8 in this case, as already described above.
  • FIG. 39 shows the orientation of the pressure valve 15 as a leaf spring in relation to the valve plate 2 , the components 8 , 9 having been left out to clarify the readability of the figure.
