Abstract
A compressor has a swash plate which comprises a friction plate and an inner plate. The friction plate is arranged radially on the outside around the inner plate. The friction plate and the inner plate are connected to one another in a material-to-material manner.
Description
- The invention relates to a compressor with a swash plate as well as to a method for producing a swash plate of a compressor.
- Compressors with swash plate are known from the prior art. Such a compressor is, for example, described in the German patent specification DE 101 60 555 A1. Compressors with swash plate are used, for example, in air conditioning systems as air conditioning compressors for compressing a refrigerant.
- During the operation of a compressor provided with a swash plate, friction occurs between the swash plate and piston shoes of pistons of the compressor. In order to optimize the frictional torque that occurs, it is known to form the swash plate from suitable materials or to coat said swash plate with suitable materials. As a result, material and production costs of the swash plate however increase.
- The aim of the present invention is to provide an improved compressor comprising a swash plate. This aim is met by a compressor according to the invention. It is further the aim of the present invention to specify an improved method for producing a swash plate of a compressor. This aim is met by a method according to the invention.
- An inventive compressor has a swash plate which comprises a friction plate and an inner plate. The friction plate is thereby arranged radially on the outside around the inner plate. In addition, the friction plate and the inner plate are connected to one another in a material-to-material manner. A compressor comprising such a swash plate can be produced more cost effectively than a conventional compressor comprising a conventional swash plate.
- The inner plate preferably consists of steel. Steel advantageously constitutes a cost effective and robust material.
- In one embodiment of the compressor, the friction plate consists of steel. The friction plate can also then be simply and cost effectively produced.
- In a further embodiment of the compressor, the friction plate consists of a copper alloy. A frictional torque occurring between the friction plate and piston shoes of the compressor can be optimized by using a copper alloy for the friction plate.
- In a particularly preferable manner, the friction plate is coated. The surface of the friction plate can then be formed such that a frictional torque occurring between the friction plate and piston shoes of the compressor can advantageously be optimized during the operation of the compressor.
- In one embodiment of the compressor, the friction plate is coated with PTFE (polytetrafluroethylene). PTFE advantageously constitutes a suitable and commercially available coating agent.
- In a further embodiment of the compressor, the inner plate has a frustoconical outer circumference and the friction plate has a frustoconical inner circumference. As a result, the contact surface is advantageously enlarged between the inner plate and the friction plate which facilitates a robust connection between inner plate and friction plate.
- In another embodiment of the compressor, the inner plate has a stepped outer circumference. The inner plate and the friction plate then advantageously abut against one another in an axial region, whereby a larger contact surface is likewise formed between inner plate and friction plate, which facilitates a robust connection between inner plate and friction plate.
- In one embodiment of the compressor, said compressor is an air conditioning compressor. The compressor can than be inserted into an air conditioning unit for the purpose of compressing a refrigerant.
- A method according to the invention for producing a swash plate of a compressor comprises the following steps: providing an inner plate, providing a friction plate, arranging the friction plate on an outer circumference of the inner plate and connecting the friction plate to the inner plate in a material-to-material manner. Said method advantageously facilitates a simple and cost effective production of the swash plate of the compressor.
- In one embodiment of the method, the friction plate and the inner plate are connected to one another by means of friction welding. In this method, a permanent and robust material-to-material connection advantageously results between friction plate and inner plate.
- In another embodiment of the method, the friction plate and the inner plate are connected to one another by means of magnetic pulse welding. A material-to-material connection of friction plate and inner plate also advantageously results from this operation.
- In a further embodiment of the method, the friction plate and the inner plate are connected to one another by means of spot welding. This advantageously constitutes a variant of the method which is particularly easy to carry out.
- The invention will now be explained in detail with the aid of the attached drawings. In the drawings:
-
FIG. 1 shows a schematic depiction of a cross-section through a compressor according to a first embodiment; and -
FIG. 2 shows a schematic depiction of a cross-section through a compressor according to a second embodiment. - In a slightly schematized depiction,
FIG. 1 shows a cross-section through acompressor 10 according to a first embodiment. Thecompressor 10 can, for example, be an air conditioning compressor of an air conditioning unit and serve to compress a refrigerant of the air conditioning unit. Thecompressor 10 can, however, also be any other compressor. - The
compressor 10 comprises acylinder block 11 and afront housing 12 attached to thecylinder block 11. Thefront housing 12 and thecylinder block 11 together form acrankcase 13 of theair conditioning compressor 10. - The
cylinder block 11 comprises one or a plurality of cylinders, in which apiston 14 is movably disposed in each case. InFIG. 1 , only one cylinder comprising apiston 14 disposed therein is visible. Each of the cylinders comprises intake and exhaust valves that are not specified. The intake valves are provided to deliver a medium to be compressed to the respective cylinder. The medium delivered to the cylinder is compressed by means of thepiston 14 disposed in the cylinder and is subsequently let out of said cylinder via the exhaust valve. - A
drive shaft 15 is disposed in thecrankcase 13 formed by thecylinder block 11 and thefront housing 12. Thedrive shaft 15 can be rotated with respect to thecrankcase 13 about the longitudinal axis thereof. Asupport plate 16 is fixed to thedrive shaft 15 in order together with thedrive shaft 15 to carry out a rotational movement about the longitudinal axis of saiddrive shaft 15. - A swash plate 20 is furthermore disposed in the
crankcase 13. The swash plate 20 is substantially formed in the shape of a round disc and has a central through-hole, through which thedrive shaft 15 extends. The central through-hole of the swash plate 20 is dimensioned such that said swash plate 20 does not have to be exactly perpendicularly oriented to the longitudinal direction of thedrive shaft 15 but can be inclined relative to saiddrive shaft 15. - The swash plate 20 comprises an inner plate 40 and a friction plate 30. The friction plate 30 can also be referred to as an annular plate. The inner plate 40 can also be referred to as a sleeve or a bushing. The inner plate 40 forms a radially inner portion of the swash plate 20 and comprises the central through-hole, through which the
drive shaft 15 extends. The friction plate 30 forms a radially outer region of the swash plate 20 and is arranged radially on the outside around the inner plate 40 The friction plate 30 and the inner plate 40 of the swash plate 20 are connected to one another in a material-to-material manner. The inner plate 40 further has acounterweight section 42 which is disposed radially opposite to the hinge 17 and is supported on thesupport plate 16. - The inner plate 40 of the swash plate 20 is connected via a hinge 17 to the
support plate 16. A rotation of thedrive shaft 15 about the longitudinal axis of saiddrive shaft 15 can be transmitted to the swash plate 20 via thesupport plate 16 and the hinge 17, whereby the swash plate 20 is displaced in a rotation about the longitudinal axis of thedrive shaft 15. - A
compression spring 18 is wound around thedrive shaft 15 between thesupport plate 16 and the swash plate 20 and pretensions said swash plate 20 in the direction of thecylinder block 11. The incline of the swash plate 20 can be reduced by displacing said swash plate 20 in the direction of thecylinder block 11. - The friction plate 30 of the swash plate 20 is coupled via a pair of piston shoes 21 to the
piston 14. The friction plate is also accordingly coupled via further piston shoes 21 to allother pistons 14 of thecompressor 10. The friction plate 30 is slidably arranged between the piston shoes 21. One piston shoe of each pair of piston shoes 21 lies on the front side and the other piston shoe 21 of each pair of piston shoes on the rear side of the friction plate 30 of the swash plate 20. A rotational movement of the swash plate 20 about the longitudinal axis of thedrive shaft 15 is translated via the friction plate 30 and the piston shoes 21 into a periodic longitudinal movement of thepiston 14 in the cylinder of thecylinder block 11. The stroke of thepiston 14 can be changed by changing the incline of the swash plate 20 with respect to thedrive shaft 15. - In the
air conditioning compressor 10 of the first embodiment depicted inFIG. 1 , the inner plate 40 of the swash plate 20 has a frustoconicalouter circumference 41. The friction plate 30 of the swash plate 20 has a frustoconicalinner circumference 31. Theouter circumference 41 of the inner plate 40 is therefore not oriented perpendicularly to the plate plane of the swash plate 20 but is inclined relative to a perpendicular orientation. Accordingly theinner circumference 31 of the friction plate 30 is also not oriented perpendicularly to the plate plane of the swash plate 20 but is inclined relative to a perpendicular orientation. The frustoconicalouter circumference 41 of the inner plate 40 and the frustoconicalinner circumference 31 of the friction plate 30 are dimensioned in such a way that said friction plate 30 can be arranged around the inner plate 40 such that the frustoconicalinner circumference 31 of the friction plate 30 planarly rests against the frustoconicalouter circumference 41 of the inner plate 40. - The frustoconical
outer circumference 41 of the inner plate 40 and the frustoconicalinner circumference 31 of the friction plate 30 are connected to one another in a material-to-material manner. Theouter circumference 41 of the inner plate 40 and theinner circumference 31 of the friction plate 30 are preferably connected to one another by means of a welding process. In a particularly preferable manner, the inner plate 40 and the friction plate 30 are connected to one another by means of friction welding. It is, however, also possible to connect the inner plate 40 and the friction plate 30 to one another by means of magnetic pulse welding or by means of spot welding. - The inner plate 40 can, for example, consist of steel. The friction plate 30 of the swash plate 20 can, for example, consist of a copper alloy. The friction between the friction plate 30 and the piston shoes 21 can advantageously be optimized by using a copper alloy for the friction plate 30 of the swash plate 20. The friction plate 30 of the swash plate 20 can, however, alternatively consist of the same material as the inner plate 40, for example of steel. In this case, the friction plate 30 of the swash plate 20 is preferably coated with a material which provides for optimized friction between the friction plate 30 and the piston shoes 21. The friction plate 30 of the swash plate 20 can, for example, be coated with a copper alloy. The friction plate 30 can also alternatively be coated with PTFE (polytetrafluroethylene; also known under the trade name Teflon).
- In a slightly schematized depiction,
FIG. 2 shows a cross-section through acompressor 110 according to a second embodiment. Thesecond compressor 110 can likewise be an air conditioning compressor for compressing a refrigerant in an air conditioning unit. Thecompressor 110 of the second embodiment can, however, be any other compressor. The design of thecompressor 110 pursuant to the second embodiment, which is depicted inFIG. 2 , corresponds to a great extent to thecompressor 10 of the first embodiment which is depicted inFIG. 1 . The same reference numerals were therefore used inFIGS. 1 and 2 for identical components or components which function in the same way. These components as well as the general operations of thecompressor 110 are not once again explained. - In contrast to the
compressor 10 of theFIG. 1 , thecompressor 110 ofFIG. 2 has an altered swash plate 120. The swash plate 120 comprises an inner plate 140 and a friction plate 130. The friction plate 130 is substantially designed annularly and is arranged around the inner plate 140 in a radially circumferential manner. - The inner plate 140 of the swash plate 120 has a stepped outer circumference 142. In an axial direction, the inner plate 140 therefore comprises a first section having a first diameter and a second section having a second diameter which is greater than the first diameter. A perpendicular step running in a radial direction extends between the two sections. The friction plate 130 of the swash plate 120 has a cylindrical
inner circumference 131, the diameter of which approximately corresponds to the diameter of the first section of theouter circumference 141 of the inner plate 140. The friction plate 130 is arranged around the inner plate 140 such that the cylindricalinner circumference 131 of the friction plate 130 planarly rests against the first section of the steppedouter circumference 141 of the inner plate 140, i.e. against the section of the steppedouter circumference 141 which has the smallest diameter. In addition, the friction plate 130 of the swash plate 120 is supported on the step in the steppedouter circumference 141 of the inner plate 140. This results in an axial contact region between the cylindricalinner circumference 131 of the friction plate 130 and the first section of the steppedouter circumference 141 of the inner plate 140 as well as a radial contact region between a front side of the friction plate 130 and the step of the steppedouter circumference 141 of the inner plate 140. - The friction plate 130 and the inner plate 140 are in turn connected to one another in a material-to-material connection. The friction plate 130 and the inner plate 140 can be connected to one another by means of friction welding, magnetic pulse welding or spot welding. The use of another welding process is also possible.
- The friction plate 130 and the inner plate 140 of the swash plate 120 can consist of the same material or of different materials. The inner plate can, for example, consist of steel. The friction plate 130 can, for example, consist of a copper alloy or of steel coated with a copper alloy. The friction plate 130 can, however, also consist of another material or be coated with another material.
