- the refrigerant and oil introduced into the discharge chamber 720 flows into the oil separation chamber 740 and then collides against the outer wall of the oil separation tube 730 . After the collision, the lighter weight gas may be discharged to the outside of the compressor through a refrigerant outlet pipe 710 , whereas the heavier weight oil may drop to the bottom portion of the oil separation chamber 740 due to gravity and then collected within the oil chamber 750 (see dashed lines in FIGS. 2 and 4 ).
- the oil collected within the oil chamber 750 moves upward along the oil groove 1000 and pressure of the oil is depressurized due to friction and the like while moving upward (see FIG. 4 ). This is intended to prevent efficiency of the compressor from being deteriorated due to injection of the oil at a high pressure when the oil is injected into the compression chamber 800 , or the suction chamber 660 , etc. after the oil is collected.
- the oil rising along the oil groove 1000 is injected first from the first oil injection hole 1100 directly into the compression chamber 800 . Accordingly, it is possible to reduce frictional losses occurring at the tip of the orbiting scroll wrap 520 or the fixed scroll wrap 650 . Further, there is an effect of sealing the orbiting scroll wrap 520 or the fixed scroll wrap 650 and hence it is possible to reduce leakage of the compressed refrigerant, so that efficiency of the compressor is improved. Moreover, since the oil discharged into the compression chamber 800 is supplied to the back pressure chamber 900 through the back pressure hole 530 , frictional losses occurring at the inside of the back pressure chamber 900 is also reduced.
- the remainder of the oil rising along the oil groove 1000 is discharged from the second oil injection hole 1200 to the other end of the fixed scroll wrap 650 . Accordingly, since the oil is injected directly to a frictional area between the fixed scroll wrap 650 and the orbiting scroll mirror plate 510 , frictional loss is reduced and the oil having a relatively high pressure is depressurized to a lower pressure. Further, the oil can be discharged from the second oil injection hole 1200 , which serves to supply oil to the suction chamber.

Description
- This application claims priority from and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2015-0120377, filed on Aug. 26, 2015, which is hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.
- Exemplary embodiments relate to a lubrication system of an electric compressor, and more particularly, to a lubrication system of an electric compressor capable of reducing frictional loss occurring between an orbiting scroll and a fixed scroll.
- Discussion of the Background
- Scroll compressors are compressors for compressing a refrigerant gas by changing volume of a compression chamber defined by a pair of opposing scrolls. Scroll compressors have high efficiency, low vibration and noise levels, and can be more compact and more lightweight as compared to reciprocating compressors or rotary compressors, so that there is a trend that they are widely utilized in an air conditioning system.
- Scroll compressors are broadly divided into low-pressure type scroll compressors and high-pressure type scroll compressors depending on pressure of a refrigerant filled in the internal space of their casing. The low-pressure type scroll compressor is a type where a suction pipe is in fluid contact with the internal space of a casing while a discharge pipe is in fluid contact with a discharge side of a compression unit so that a refrigerant is sucked indirectly into a compression chamber. In contrast, the high-pressure type scroll compressor is a type where a suction pipe is in fluid contact directly with a suction side of a compression unit while a discharge pipe is in fluid contact with the internal space of a casing so that a refrigerant is sucked directly into a compression chamber.
- The low pressure type scroll compressor is constituted such that the internal space of the casing is divided into a suction space and a discharge space while the compression unit is arranged between the suction space and the discharge space. Further, as for types of sealing between the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll in the low-pressure type scroll compressors, a tip seal type and a back pressure type are widely known. A tip seal type is a type where tip seals are provided on leading end faces of the wraps of each scroll, respectively, such that the tip seals cling to an opposite mirror plate portion to seal the compression chamber. A back pressure type is a type where a backside of the fixed scroll or the orbiting scroll is pressed such that the wraps and mirror plate portions of both scrolls cling to each other to seal the compression chamber.
- There is a technique wherein a conventional low-pressure type scroll compressor is provided with a back pressure control mechanism for controlling the pressure in a back pressure chamber in connection with the pressure of a discharging refrigerant such that the orbiting scroll is supported by the pressure in the back pressure chamber without any internal leakage or power loss.
- The back pressure control mechanism is installed in either a fixed scroll or a housing and includes a high pressure passage connecting the back pressure control mechanism to a discharge chamber, a back pressure passage connecting the back pressure control mechanism to the back pressure chamber, and a low pressure passage connecting the back pressure control mechanism to a suction chamber. Further, the high pressure passage, the back pressure passage and the low pressure passage are formed as capillary tubes such that pressure can be reduced when the refrigerant is transferred through each of the passages.
- However, in the prior art as described above, there is a problem in that it is difficult to actively control the pressure in the back pressure chamber to cope with a variation of operating conditions because the pressure in the back pressure chamber is determined mainly by the shape and dimension of the flow path of the capillary tubes constituting the high pressure and back pressure passages. Furthermore, there is a problem in that oil is excessively introduced into the back pressure chamber and fluid resistance against the movement of a counterweight in the back pressure chamber is increased. Moreover, since additional components such as a back pressure control mechanism for selecting a flow path is required to be installed in the compressor, there is also a problem that the unit cost of manufacturing the compressor rose due to increase in the number of components and processing steps.
- The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the inventive concept, and, therefore, it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
- Exemplary embodiments provide a lubrication system of an electric compressor having oil injection holes which are machined to inject oil directly into a compression chamber and a suction chamber and a back pressure hole which is machined in a mirror plate of an orbiting scroll wrap.
- Additional aspects will be set forth in the detailed description which follows, and, in part, will be apparent from the disclosure, or may be learned by practice of the inventive concept.
- According to exemplary embodiments, a lubrication system of an electric compressor includes a lower housing having a refrigerant inlet port formed to pierce an outer side plane thereof, a rotational shaft supported by the lower housing and a frame, a rotor for rotating the rotational shaft, an orbiting scroll disposed on a top portion of the frame to be orbited by the rotational shaft, a fixed scroll disposed on a top portion of the orbiting scroll so as to allow the orbiting scroll to orbit therein, and an upper housing disposed on a top portion of the fixed scroll and having a refrigerant outlet formed in an outer side plane thereof.

Hereinafter, operation of the present disclosure will be described with reference toFIGS. 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 . - Refrigerant in a relatively low pressure state introduced into the
refrigerant inlet port 110 of thelower housing 100 flows into thesuction chamber 660 through thesuction ports 640. At this time, the refrigerant flows into the suction chamber along with oil in the compressor. Furthermore, at the same time, the oil flows into thesuction chamber 660 through thesuction ports 640 submerged in the oil (seeFIGS. 2 and 5 ). - The refrigerant and oil introduced into the
suction chamber 660 are compressed as theorbiting scroll 500 rotates, and the compressed refrigerant and oil, which are in a relatively high pressure state, flow into thedischarge chamber 720 through the discharge port 620 (see solid line inFIG. 4 ). - The refrigerant and oil introduced into the
discharge chamber 720 flows into theoil separation chamber 740 and then collides against the outer wall of theoil separation tube 730. After the collision, the lighter weight gas may be discharged to the outside of the compressor through arefrigerant outlet pipe 710, whereas the heavier weight oil may drop to the bottom portion of theoil separation chamber 740 due to gravity and then collected within the oil chamber 750 (see dashed lines inFIGS. 2 and 4 ). - The oil collected within the
oil chamber 750 moves upward along theoil groove 1000 and pressure of the oil is depressurized due to friction and the like while moving upward (seeFIG. 4 ). This is intended to prevent efficiency of the compressor from being deteriorated due to injection of the oil at a high pressure when the oil is injected into thecompression chamber 800, or thesuction chamber 660, etc. after the oil is collected. - The oil rising along the
oil groove 1000 is injected first from the firstoil injection hole 1100 directly into thecompression chamber 800. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce frictional losses occurring at the tip of theorbiting scroll wrap 520 or the fixedscroll wrap 650. Further, there is an effect of sealing theorbiting scroll wrap 520 or the fixedscroll wrap 650 and hence it is possible to reduce leakage of the compressed refrigerant, so that efficiency of the compressor is improved. Moreover, since the oil discharged into thecompression chamber 800 is supplied to theback pressure chamber 900 through theback pressure hole 530, frictional losses occurring at the inside of theback pressure chamber 900 is also reduced. - The remainder of the oil rising along the
oil groove 1000 is discharged from the secondoil injection hole 1200 to the other end of the fixedscroll wrap 650. Accordingly, since the oil is injected directly to a frictional area between thefixed scroll wrap 650 and the orbitingscroll mirror plate 510, frictional loss is reduced and the oil having a relatively high pressure is depressurized to a lower pressure. Further, the oil can be discharged from the secondoil injection hole 1200, which serves to supply oil to the suction chamber. - Although certain exemplary embodiments and implementations have been described herein, other embodiments and modifications will be apparent from this description. Accordingly, the inventive concept is not limited to such embodiments, but rather to the broader scope of the presented claims and various obvious modifications and equivalent arrangements.
