- Example embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough, and will fully convey the scope to those who are skilled in the art. Numerous specific details are set forth such as examples of specific components, devices, and methods, to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present disclosure. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that specific details need not be employed, that example embodiments may be embodied in many different forms and that neither should be construed to limit the scope of the disclosure. In some example embodiments, well-known processes, well-known device structures, and well-known technologies are not described in detail.
- first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Terms such as “first,” “second,” and other numerical terms when used herein do not imply a sequence or order unless clearly indicated by the context. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the example embodiments.
- Spatially relative terms such as “inner,” “outer,” “beneath,” “below,” “lower,” “above,” “upper,” and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. Spatially relative terms may be intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements or features would then be oriented “above” the other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

- an axial end 115 of the shell-attachment section 106 is coupled to (i.e., welded) the shell 32 such that the first outer diametrical surface 112 contacts the first and second arcuate surfaces 96 , 98 and an axial end surface 116 contacts the first and second edges, 94 , 96 (at a location external to the opening 90 ).
- a portion of the axial end 115 of the shell-attachment section 106 extends at least partially into the opening 90 such that only a portion of the axial end surface 116 contacts the outer surfaces 99 of the edges 92 , 94 and only a portion of the first outer diametrical surface 112 contacts the first and second arcuate surfaces 96 , 98 .

- the suction fitting 28 having varying thicknesses facilitates attachment to both the shell 32 and the external pipe (not shown). That is, the thickness of the shell-attachment section 106 facilitates welding the suction fitting 28 and the shell 32 and the thickness of the pipe-attachment section 108 facilitates brazing the suction fitting 28 and the external pipe. Stated differently, it is advantageous for the shell-attachment section 106 of the suction fitting 28 to have a large thickness to facilitate welding the suction fitting 28 to the shell 32 , and it is advantageous for the pipe-attachment section 108 of the suction fitting 28 to have a small thickness to facilitate brazing the suction fitting 28 to the external pipe.
- the opening 90 of the shell 32 being defined at least partially by the first and second edges 92 , 94 and the arcuate surfaces 96 , 98 facilitates positioning of the suction fitting 28 relative to the shell 32 and facilitates attachment (i.e., welding) of the suction fitting 28 to the shell 32 .
- the discharge fitting 24 and/or a fluid-injection fitting may be attached to the shell assembly 12 at a respective opening partially defined by opposing edges similar or identical to the edges 92 , 94 and/or opposing arcuate surfaces similar or identical to the arcuate surfaces 96 , 98 .

Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure relates to a compressor having a shell fitting.
- This section provides background information related to the present disclosure and is not necessarily prior art.
- A climate-control system such as, for example, a heat-pump system, a refrigeration system, or an air conditioning system, may include a fluid circuit having an outdoor heat exchanger, an indoor heat exchanger, an expansion device disposed between the indoor and outdoor heat exchangers, and one or more compressors circulating a working fluid (e.g., refrigerant or carbon dioxide) between the indoor and outdoor heat exchangers. Efficient and reliable operation of the one or more compressors is desirable to ensure that the climate-control system in which the one or more compressors are installed is capable of effectively and efficiently providing a cooling and/or heating effect on demand.
- This section provides a general summary of the disclosure, and is not a comprehensive disclosure of its full scope or all of its features.
- In one form, the present disclosure provides a compressor that includes a shell, a compression mechanism and a fitting (e.g., a suction fitting, a discharge fitting, or a fluid-injection fitting). The shell includes an opening and defines a chamber. The compression mechanism is disposed within the chamber of the shell. The fitting is attached to the shell at the opening. Working fluid flowing through the fitting flows to compression pockets of the compression mechanism. The opening is partially defined by a first edge and a second edge. The first edge includes a first planar surface and the second edge includes a second planar surface that faces the first planar surface. A first portion of the fitting extends at least partially into the opening and a second portion of the fitting abuts against the first and second edges.
- In some configurations of the compressor of the above paragraph, the opening is a non-circular shape.
- In some configurations of the compressor of any one or more of the above paragraphs, the opening has opposing arcuate surfaces. An outer diametrical surface of the fitting abuts against at least one of the opposing arcuate surfaces.
- In some configurations of the compressor of any one or more of the above paragraphs, the opposing arcuate surfaces and the first and second edges define a circular shape.
- In some configurations of the compressor of any one or more of the above paragraphs, the fitting is a suction fitting. Working fluid flowing through the suction fitting flows to the compression pockets of the compression mechanism.
- In some configurations of the compressor of any one or more of the above paragraphs, the first portion of the fitting is a first portion of an axial end surface of the fitting and the second portion of the fitting is a second portion of the axial end surface of the fitting.
- In some configurations of the compressor of any one or more of the above paragraphs, the opening has opposing arcuate surfaces. The opposing arcuate surfaces extend and the first and second edges define a circular shape.
- In some configurations of the compressor of any one or more of the above paragraphs, the opening has opposing arcuate surfaces. Each of the first and second edges are disposed between the opposing arcuate surfaces.
- In some configurations of the compressor of any one or more of the above paragraphs, the first and second edges prevent an outer diametrical surface of the fitting from contacting the first and second planar surfaces.
- In some configurations of the compressor of any one or more of the above paragraphs, the first and second edges prevent the fitting from extending into the chamber of the shell.
- In some configurations of the compressor of any one or more of the above paragraphs, the second portion of the fitting abuts against the first and second edges at a location external to the opening.
- In some configurations of the compressor of any one or more of the above paragraphs, each of the opposing arcuate surfaces have a length that is greater than a length of each of the first and second planar surfaces.
- In another form, the present disclosure provides a compressor that includes a shell, a compression mechanism and a fitting (e.g., a suction fitting, a discharge fitting, or a fluid-injection fitting). The shell includes an opening and defines a chamber. The compression mechanism is disposed within the chamber of the shell. The fitting is attached to the shell at the opening and at least partially disposed outside of the shell. Working fluid flows between the fitting and compression pockets of the compression mechanism. The opening is partially defined by a first edge having a first planar surface, a second edge having a second planar surface, and an arcuate surface disposed between the first and second planar surfaces. The first and second edges prevent the fitting from contacting the first and second planar surfaces and allow the fitting to contact the arcuate surface.

- Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- Example embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough, and will fully convey the scope to those who are skilled in the art. Numerous specific details are set forth such as examples of specific components, devices, and methods, to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present disclosure. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that specific details need not be employed, that example embodiments may be embodied in many different forms and that neither should be construed to limit the scope of the disclosure. In some example embodiments, well-known processes, well-known device structures, and well-known technologies are not described in detail.
- The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular example embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” may be intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “including,” and “having,” are inclusive and therefore specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof. The method steps, processes, and operations described herein are not to be construed as necessarily requiring their performance in the particular order discussed or illustrated, unless specifically identified as an order of performance. It is also to be understood that additional or alternative steps may be employed.
- When an element or layer is referred to as being “on,” “engaged to,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another element or layer, it may be directly on, engaged, connected or coupled to the other element or layer, or intervening elements or layers may be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on,” “directly engaged to,” “directly connected to,” or “directly coupled to” another element or layer, there may be no intervening elements or layers present. Other words used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a like fashion (e.g., “between” versus “directly between,” “adjacent” versus “directly adjacent,” etc.). As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
- Although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Terms such as “first,” “second,” and other numerical terms when used herein do not imply a sequence or order unless clearly indicated by the context. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the example embodiments.
- Spatially relative terms, such as “inner,” “outer,” “beneath,” “below,” “lower,” “above,” “upper,” and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. Spatially relative terms may be intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements or features would then be oriented “above” the other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , acompressor 10 is provided and may include ahermetic shell assembly 12, first and secondbearing housing assemblies motor assembly 18, acompression mechanism 20, a discharge port or fitting 24 and a suction port or fitting 28. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , theshell assembly 12 may form a compressor housing and may include acylindrical shell 32, anend cap 34 at an upper end thereof, a transversely extendingpartition 36, and a base 38 at a lower end thereof. Theshell 32 and the base 38 may cooperate to define a suction-pressure chamber 39. Theend cap 34 and thepartition 36 may define a discharge-pressure chamber 40. Thepartition 36 may separate the discharge-pressure chamber 40 from the suction-pressure chamber 39. A discharge-pressure passage 43 may extend through thepartition 36 to provide communication between thecompression mechanism 20 and the discharge-pressure chamber 40. - The first
bearing housing assembly 14 may be disposed within the suction-pressure chamber 39 and may be fixed relative to theshell 32. The firstbearing housing assembly 14 may include a firstmain bearing housing 48 and afirst bearing 49. The firstmain bearing housing 48 may house thefirst bearing 49 therein. The firstmain bearing housing 48 may fixedly engage theshell 32 and may axially support thecompression mechanism 20. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , themotor assembly 18 may be disposed within the suction-pressure chamber 39 and may include astator 60 and arotor 62. Thestator 60 may be press fit into theshell 32. Therotor 62 may be press fit on adrive shaft 64 and may transmit rotational power to thedrive shaft 64. Thedrive shaft 64 may be rotatably supported by the first and secondbearing housing assemblies drive shaft 64 may include aneccentric crank pin 66 having a crank pin flat. - The
compression mechanism 20 may be disposed within the suction-pressure chamber 39 and may include anorbiting scroll 70 and anon-orbiting scroll 72. The first scroll member or orbitingscroll 70 may include anend plate 74 and aspiral wrap 76 extending therefrom. Acylindrical hub 80 may project downwardly from theend plate 74 and may include thefirst bearing 49 and anunloader bushing 82 disposed therein. The crank pin flat may drivingly engage a flat surface in a portion of the inner bore to provide a radially compliant driving arrangement. AnOldham coupling 84 may be engaged with the orbitingscroll 70 and the bearinghousing 48 to prevent relative rotation therebetween. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , the second scroll member ornon-orbiting scroll 72 may include anend plate 86 and aspiral wrap 88 projecting downwardly from theend plate 86. Thespiral wrap 88 may meshingly engage the spiral wrap 76 of the orbitingscroll 70, thereby creating a series of moving fluid pockets. The fluid pockets defined by the spiral wraps 76, 88 may decrease in volume as they move from a radially outer position (at a suction pressure) to a radially intermediate position (at an intermediate pressure) to a radially inner position (at a discharge pressure) throughout a compression cycle of thecompression mechanism 20. - As shown in
FIGS. 1-9 , the suction fitting 28 may be a single, unitary component. The suction fitting 28 may provide working fluid at a suction-pressure from the suction fitting 28 to asuction inlet 89 of thenon-orbiting scroll 72 so that the working fluid can be directed into the radially outermost fluid pocket and subsequently compressed by thecompression mechanism 20. The suction fitting 28 may be axially misaligned with thesuction inlet 89 of thenon-orbiting scroll 72. For example, the suction fitting 28 may be disposed vertically lower than thesuction inlet 89. The suction fitting 28 may be generally cylindrical and may be made of a metallic material (e.g., steel), for example. The suction fitting 28 may be attached to theshell 32 at anopening 90 thereof and may also extend at least partially into theopening 90. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , theopening 90 may be a non-circular shape and may be defined by afirst edge 92, asecond edge 94, a firstarcuate surface 96 and a secondarcuate surface 98. As shown inFIGS. 4 and 7 , the first andsecond edges pressure chamber 39. That is, the suction fitting 28 contacts each edge, 92, 94 at a location external to theopening 90 such that the suction fitting 28 is prevented from extending into the suction-pressure chamber 39. Thefirst edge 92 may have a firstplanar surface 100 and thesecond edge 94 may oppose thefirst edge 92 and have a secondplanar surface 102. The secondplanar surface 102 may face the firstplanar surface 100. It should also be understood that theouter surfaces 99, proximate the first andsecond edges planar surface 100 and the secondplanar surface 102. - The first
arcuate surface 96 and the secondarcuate surface 98 are opposite each other and may cooperate with the first andsecond edges arcuate surfaces second edges 92, 94 (FIGS. 3-5 and 7 ). As shown inFIG. 4 , when the suction fitting 28 is received in theopening 90, the suction fitting 28 abuts against (i.e., contacts) the first and secondarcuate surfaces arcuate surfaces planar surfaces - The suction fitting 28 may include a shell-
attachment section 106, a pipe-attachment section 108 and atransition section 110. The shell-attachment section 106 may have a thickness that is greater than a thickness of the pipe-attachment section 108 and a thickness of thetransition section 110. The shell-attachment section 106 has a first outerdiametrical surface 112 and a first innerdiametrical surface 114. As shown inFIGS. 4 and 6 , anaxial end 115 of the shell-attachment section 106 is coupled to (i.e., welded) theshell 32 such that the first outerdiametrical surface 112 contacts the first and secondarcuate surfaces axial end surface 116 contacts the first and second edges, 94, 96 (at a location external to the opening 90). Stated differently, a portion of theaxial end 115 of the shell-attachment section 106 extends at least partially into theopening 90 such that only a portion of theaxial end surface 116 contacts theouter surfaces 99 of theedges diametrical surface 112 contacts the first and secondarcuate surfaces edges attachment section 106 from extending through theopening 90 and into the suction-pressure chamber 39. - The pipe-
attachment section 108 may be copper plated and may be attached to an external pipe (not shown) via brazing, for example, so that fluid flowing through the external pipe may flow to the compression pockets (via the suction fitting 28, the suction-pressure chamber 39 and the suction inlet 89). The pipe-attachment section 108 has a second outerdiametrical surface 118 and a second innerdiametrical surface 120. As shown inFIG. 4 , a diameter D1 of the second outerdiametrical surface 118 is smaller than a diameter D2 of the first outerdiametrical surface 112. A diameter D3 of the second innerdiametrical surface 120 is smaller than a diameter D4 of the first innerdiametrical surface 114. - The
transition section 110 is positioned between the shell-attachment section 106 and the pipe-attachment section 108 and has a third outerdiametrical surface 122 and a third innerdiametrical surface 124. A diameter D5 of the third outerdiametrical surface 122 is smaller than the diameter D2 of the first outerdiametrical surface 112 and the diameter D1 of the second outerdiametrical surface 118. A diameter D6 of the third innerdiametrical surface 124 is smaller than the diameter D4 of the first innerdiametrical surface 114 and the diameter D3 of the second innerdiametrical surface 120. - One of the benefits of the
compressor 10 of the present disclosure is the suction fitting 28 having varying thicknesses facilitates attachment to both theshell 32 and the external pipe (not shown). That is, the thickness of the shell-attachment section 106 facilitates welding the suction fitting 28 and theshell 32 and the thickness of the pipe-attachment section 108 facilitates brazing the suction fitting 28 and the external pipe. Stated differently, it is advantageous for the shell-attachment section 106 of the suction fitting 28 to have a large thickness to facilitate welding the suction fitting 28 to theshell 32, and it is advantageous for the pipe-attachment section 108 of the suction fitting 28 to have a small thickness to facilitate brazing the suction fitting 28 to the external pipe. Another benefit of thecompressor 10 of the present disclosure is theopening 90 of theshell 32 being defined at least partially by the first andsecond edges arcuate surfaces shell 32 and facilitates attachment (i.e., welding) of the suction fitting 28 to theshell 32. - It should be understood that other fittings of the
compressor 10 may be attached to a respective opening in theshell assembly 12 having similar or identical features or characteristics of theopening 90 that the suction fitting 28 is attached to. For example, the discharge fitting 24 and/or a fluid-injection fitting (a fitting that provides working fluid directly to an intermediate position of the compression pockets) may be attached to theshell assembly 12 at a respective opening partially defined by opposing edges similar or identical to theedges arcuate surfaces shell assembly 12 at respective openings similar or identical to theopening 90. - The foregoing description of the embodiments has been provided for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the disclosure. Individual elements or features of a particular embodiment are generally not limited to that particular embodiment, but, where applicable, are interchangeable and can be used in a selected embodiment, even if not specifically shown or described. The same may also be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the disclosure, and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the disclosure.
