Aoberf 'alin HIS ATTOR NE Y United States Patent 10 2,991,931 REFRIGERATING APPARATUS Robert Galrn, Dayton, Ohio, assignor to General Motors Corporation, Detroit, Mich., a corporation of Delaware Filed Mar. 23, 1959, 'Ser. No. 801,202 8 Claims. (Cl. 230-145) This invention relates to refrigerating apparatus and more particularly to a sealed rotary compressor unit.
It is an object of this invention to provide a low-cost rotary compressor which has incorporated therein an improved oil pump.
More particularly it is an object of this invention to provide a rotary compressor with a built-in oil pump which necessitates the addition of only one extra part.
Another object of this invention is to provide a simplified rotary compressor for use in refrigerating systems and the like having an improved Valving arrangement including means for automatically limiting the load on the compressor.
Still another object of this invention is to provide a lowcost rotary compressor which lends itself to mass production methods.
Further objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein a preferred form of the present invention is clearly shown.
In the drawings:
FIGURE 1 is a vertical sectional view showing a prefered embodiment of the invention;
FIGURE 2 is a sectional view taken substantially on line 2-2 of FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 3 is a fragmentary sectional view taken substantially on line 3-3 of FIGURE 2; and
FIGURES 4 and 5 are sectional views taken substantially on line 55 of FIGURE 1 showing various positions of the compressor eccentric within the oil pumping chamber.
Referring now to the drawings wherein a preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown, reference numeral designates a cup-shaped sheet metal housing element which has its upper end closed by means of a platelike element 18 which is welded or otherwise secured to the housing element 10. A motor-compressor unit disposed within the housing 10 includes a motor stator 12 supported in the upper end of the housing 10 by means of a corrugated stamped sheet metal sleeve 14 in accordance with standard practice. The upper end of the sleeve 14 is provided with a flange 16 which is clamped between the closure member 18 and a shoulder 20 formed adjacent the upper edge of the sheet metal casing 10. A motor rotor 22 cooperates with the motor stator 12 and is secured to the upper end of the compressor drive shaft 24.
The compressor drive shaft 24 is journalled in the upper and lower compressor end plates 26 and 28 respectively of the compressor as shown. The lower end plate 28 rests on a plurality of mounting lugs 30 carried by the bottom wall of the casing 10. A cylinder block element 32 is sandwiched between the end plates 26 and 28 and cooperates with the end plates to form a circular compression chamber 36. Bolts 37 hold the elements 26, 28 and 32 in place on the mounting lugs 30'.
The compressor shaft 28 is provided with an eccentric portion 38 which has an axial length slightly in excess of the thickness of the cylinder block element 32 for a purpose to be described more fully hereinafter. A circular gas impeller 40 is arranged to cooperate with the eccentric portion 38 so as to serve as a piston or impeller operating within the compression chamber 36 formed in the cylinder block 32. As best shown in FIGURE 2 of the drawing, inlet and outlet ports 42 and 44 respectively are provided on opposite sides of a specially constructed divider 2,991,931 Patented July 11, 1961 block or blade 46 which is slidably disposed in the cylinder block 32. A pair of springs 48 urges the divider blade 46 into engagement with the impeller 40 so as to seal the inlet port from the outlet port in accordance with usual practice. In order to provide force feed lubrication to the various bearing surfaces of the shaft 24 there is provided a novel oil pump which is unique in its simplicity. Thus, the bottom end plate 28 is provided with a circular recess 50 which has a radius equal to the maximum radius of the eccentric portion 38 whereby the lower end of the eccentric portion 38 can be used as an impeller for an oil pump. The end plate '28 is provided with an oil inlet passage 52 which has its lower end arranged in contact with a body of oil 54 provided in the lower portion of the casing 10. The upper end of the passage 52 enters the oil pumping recess 50 adjacent one side of an auxiliary divider block or vane 54 which is held in sealing engagement with the outer periphery of the lower end of the eccentric portion 38 by means of the main divider block 46. It will be noted that the main divider block 46 is provided with a notch 58 in its lower edge for receiving the divider blade 54.
The eccentric portion 38 is provided with a radial oil discharge passage 60 located slightly in front of the point of tangency between the eccentric portion 38 and the periphery of the oil pumping chamber 50. The passage 60 then serves as the outlet port for the oil pump and delivers the oil to an axially extending passage 62 provided in the central portion of the main drive shaft 24. The passage 62 in turn delivers oil to a plurality of radially extending oil feed passages 64 which feed lubricant to the various bearing surfaces of the main drive shaft so as to thereby lubricate the drive shaft. By virtue of the above described arrangement it is obvious that the divider blade 54 is the only additional element required for the oil pump as all of the other elements are required parts of the gas compressor.
The gas to be compressed enters the compressor through a suction line 70 which communicates with the lower end of a chamber 72 formed in the main cylinder block 32 as best shown in FIGURES 2 and 3. A specially constructed flow modulating spring 74 is arranged within the cavity 72 in such a manner that the incoming gas enters the lower end of the spring and is required to pass between the convolutions of the spring before passing through the inlet port passage means 42. The upper end of the spring abuts against a piston-like element 76 which has its upper end exposed to the compressed and relatively high pressure gas which surrounds the compressor assembly. Since the upper end of the piston 76 is subjected to the high pressure gas and the lower end thereof is subjected to the relatively low suction pressure of the gas it is obvious that as the head pressure exceeds the suction pressure by a predetermined amount, the spring 74 will become compressed and this results in restriction to the flow of gas tothe compressor inlet passage means 42.
The compressed gas leaves the compression chamber 36 through the port 44 as best shown in FIGURE 2 of the drawing. A discharge valve plate 80 cooperates with the port 44. This valve plate 80 is biased to the closed position by means of a coil spring 82 arranged in a recess 84 formed in the adaptor 86 which is rigidly held in place relative to the cylinder block 32. It will be noted that in the arrangement shown, as the valve plate 80 moves away from its set, the spring 82 will be compressed and will have pocketed therein a body of gas which serves as a pneumatic cushion which reduces the severity of the opening movement of the valve plate 80. The compressed gas leaving the port 44 discharges into the main casing or housing 10 through the discharge passage 88 which is ar- 3 ranged as best shown in FIGURE 2 of the drawing. The compressed gas leaves the casing through an outlet 100.
By virtue of the above described arrangement the divider blades and the flow modulating spring 74 are all held in place by the lower end plate of the compressor and a minimum number of parts is required for the assembly as shown.
