- the compression mechanism 2 that realizes such a layout is a scroll type
- the expansion mechanism 4 is a rotary type
- the shaft 5 is filled with oil 60 so that the periphery of the rotary type expansion mechanism 4 is filled with oil 60.
- a compression mechanism 2, an electric motor 3, and an expansion mechanism 4 are arranged in this order along the axial direction.
- the oil flow suppressing member 50 also has a container force having a cylindrical portion 52 and a bottom portion 51, and is provided with bolts and screws so as to cover the expansion mechanism 4 from the lower end side of the shaft 5.
- a fastening part 54 is used to be fixed to the expansion mechanism 4.
- the oil flow restraining member 50 is directly fixed to the expansion mechanism 4, but the oil The relative positioning of the expansion mechanism 4 and the oil flow suppressing member 50 can also be appropriately performed by fixing the flow suppressing member 50.
- the oil flow suppressing member 50 has its shape, dimensions, and mounting position determined so that the volume force of the oil 60 filling the inner storage space 55a is smaller than the volume of the oil 60 filling the outer storage space 55b. ing. In other words, the volume of the inner storage space 55a is smaller than the volume of the outer storage space 55b. A small amount of oil 60 that fills the inner storage space 55a is sufficient because it is only used to lubricate and seal the vanes 38 and 39 of the expansion mechanism 4. On the other hand, since the amount of oil 60 sucked into the oil pump 27 and sent to the oil supply passage 29 of the shaft 5 is considerably large, the amount of the oil 60 that fills the outer storage space 55b is large and is preferable.
- the shape and dimensions of the oil flow suppression member 50 depend on the design of the expansion mechanism 4, but as shown in the partial enlarged view of Fig. 3, the average width dl of the inner storage space 55a in the radial direction of the shaft 5 However, it is preferable to increase the average width d2 of the outer storage space 55b. In this way, the volume of the oil 60 that fills the inner storage space 55a can be made sufficiently smaller than the volume of the oil 60 that fills the inner storage space 55a.
- a through hole 56 is formed in the bottom 51 of the oil flow suppressing member 50.
- the oil 60 fed into the oil supply passage 29 is a fraction that fills the outer storage space 55b.
- the gap between the bottom 51 and the expansion mechanism 4 is sealed with a ring-shaped sealing material 57.
- the circulation of the oil 60 between the inner storage space 55a and the outer storage space 55b through the through hole 56 is prohibited. That is, in the sealing material 57, the low temperature oil 60 filling the inner storage space 55a and the high temperature oil 60 filling the outer storage space 55b are mixed through the through hole 56. To prevent. As a result, the relatively low temperature oil 60 continues to stay in the inner storage space 55a, and heat transfer from the oil 60 to the expansion mechanism 4 is suppressed.
- the oil flow suppressing member 50 has an opening 52g located on the opposite side of the bottom 51 so that the outer peripheral surface of the expansion mechanism 4 and the lower surface 31q of the upper bearing member 31 Both forces are also separated. That is, the height of the cylindrical portion 52 is adjusted so that a slight space (gap SH1) is secured between the opening end surface 50f of the oil flow suppressing member 50 and the lower surface 31q of the upper bearing member 31. ing.
- the oil 60 can flow from the outer storage space 55b to the inner storage space 55a via the gap SH1 formed above the upper end 52g (opening 52g) of the cylindrical portion 52. .
- the gap SH1 is formed over the entire periphery of the opening 52g of the oil flow suppressing member 50. Therefore, the oil 60 can flow into the inner storage space 55a at any angle of 360 °. At first glance, it may be preferable to limit the section in which the oil 60 can flow into the inner storage space 55a. However, since the gap SH1 is not so wide, if the section into which the oil 60 can flow is limited, the oil 60 flows into the inner storage space 55a vigorously, and the effect of suppressing the flow is reduced. As in this embodiment, 3 60 ° The total circumferential force is also gradually reduced by the oil 60 flowing into the inner storage space 55a. The effect of suppressing the flow of the oil 60 that fills the inner storage space 55a is the heat that accompanies the increased flow velocity. An increase in transmission rate can be stopped more effectively.
- the expander-integrated compressor 70 of the present embodiment is supplied from the outer storage space 55b to the compression mechanism 2 through the oil supply passage 29 of the shaft 5, and the compression is performed.
- Oil 60 after lubrication of mechanism 2 the excess oil 60 at the upper end of the oil supply passage 29, and the oil 60 separated from the compressed refrigerant are stored in the outer storage space 55b by its own weight.
- An oil return passage 31a for returning to the position is provided. Since the oil 60 flowing through the oil return passage 31a advances to the outer storage space 55b, the oil 60 that fills the inner storage space 55a is directly mixed with the oil 60 that returns to the upper side and agitated. Receive Hateful.
- a plurality of oil return holes 31 a formed in the upper bearing member 31 are employed as such an oil return passage 3 la.
- the upper bearing member 31 is fixed between the electric motor 3 and the expansion mechanism 4 without any gap in the sealed container 1, and the passage communicating the upper and lower spaces of the upper bearing member 31 is substantially the oil return hole 3. Only la.
- the positional relationship between the oil return hole 3la and the oil flow suppressing member 50 is important. This is because the oil 60 flowing through the oil return hole 3 la is first guided to the inner storage space 55a. The heat is transferred from the oil 60 to the expansion mechanism 4 depending on whether the oil 60 is guided to the outer storage space 55b. This is because a difference occurs in the suppression effect. That is, when the oil return hole 31a as shown in the cross-sectional views of FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B opens toward the outer storage space 55b, the oil 60 having a relatively high temperature is placed in the inner storage space 55a. It is possible to prevent the oil from flowing down immediately, and the flow of the oil 60 filling the inner storage space 55a is kept small.
- the entire projected image of the opening is the opening of the oil flow suppressing member 50. It is located between the outer edge of the end surface 50f and the inner peripheral surface of the sealed container 1.
- the cylindrical portion 52 of the oil flow suppressing member 50 is provided with a spacer portion 53 that protrudes toward the outer peripheral surface of the expansion mechanism 4 on the inner peripheral surface side facing the expansion mechanism 4. Yes.
- the spacer part 53 prevents the oil flow suppressing member 50 and the expansion mechanism 4 from closely contacting each other, and secures an inner storage space 55a around the entire expansion mechanism 4.
- the inner storage space 55a has an area defined by the protruding height of the spacer portion 53.
- the cylindrical portion 52 and the spacer portion 53 are integrally formed, but it is also possible to use a spacer portion separate from the container constituting the oil flow suppression member 50. is there.
- the spacer 53 has a distal end portion located on the side in contact with the expansion mechanism 4 and a proximal end portion located on the opposite side to the side in contact with the expansion mechanism 4. It is narrow. Specifically, the surface in contact with the expansion mechanism 4 has a convex curved surface that is directed toward the expansion mechanism 4. Such a curved surface is, for example, a rounded surface. The spacer portion 53 having such a shape tends to contact the expansion mechanism 4 with dots or lines. Then, the oil flow suppression member 5 0 The heat transfer path by itself becomes narrow, and the thermal resistance at the contact boundary between the oil flow suppressing member 50 and the expansion mechanism 4 can be increased. If the thermal resistance of the contact boundary is high, it is possible to suppress heat from passing through the oil flow suppressing member 50 from the oil 60 filling the outer storage space 55b to the expansion mechanism 4.
- vanes 38 and 39 that are lubrication-necessary parts of the expansion mechanism 4 are arranged in the cylindrical portion 52 of the oil flow suppressing member 50 in the axial direction of the shaft 5.
- a passage 58 that allows the oil 60 to flow between the inner storage space 55a and the outer storage space 55b is formed at a position where the force on the upper end 50f (opening end face 50f) is closer than the position where the oil is stored.
- an oil supply hole 58 is employed as such a passage 58. More specifically, the oil supply hole 58 is formed above the lower surface of the cylinder 34 (second cylinder) closer to the compression mechanism 2 out of the two cylinders 32 and 34 of the expansion mechanism 4.
- the oil supply hole 58 is provided at such a position, even if the oil level 60p falls below the opening end surface 50f of the oil flow suppression member 50, oil is supplied from the oil supply hole 58 to the inner storage space 55a.
- the vanes 38 and 39 and the vane grooves 32a and 34a of the expansion mechanism 4 can be reliably lubricated.
- a slit extending from the opening end surface 50 f toward the bottom 51 may be formed in the cylindrical portion 52 of the oil flow suppressing member 50.
- the oil supply hole 58 may be straight drilled in the center of the shaft 5, but it is preferable that the orientation is adjusted as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. The reason is as follows. Although the inner space 24 of the sealed container 1 is temporarily cut up and down by the upper bearing member 31, the influence of the swirling flow generated by the motor 4 is affected by the oil return hole 3 la through the oil reservoir 6 The oil reaches 60. That is, the oil 60 in the oil reservoir 6 tends to flow in the same rotational direction as the rotor 22 of the electric motor 4. This tendency is particularly conspicuous in the oil 60 filling the outer storage space 55b partitioned by the oil flow suppression member 50, and it is better that the oil 60 filling the inner storage space 55a does not show such a tendency.
- the force of the outer storage space 55b is directed toward the inner storage space 55a, and the oil 60 flowing through the oil supply holes 58 flows in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotor 22 of the motor 4. It is preferable that the direction of the oil supply hole 58 is adjusted so as to cause it to occur.
- the oil 60 that fills the outer storage space 55b forms a clockwise flow EF with the upper force centered on the shaft 5
- the oil supply hole 58 is located on the inner side near the center O of the shaft 5.
- the opening end 58b outside the opening end 58a is preferably shifted clockwise as viewed from above.
- the outer opening end 58b is located on the downstream side in the rotational direction of the oil flow EF, and the inner opening end 58a is located on the upstream side.
- the oil 60 that flows from the outer storage space 55b to the inner storage space 55a through the oil supply hole 58 is formed in the outer storage space 55b.
- Oil flow EF needs to flow in the opposite direction. As a result, the oil flow EF in the outer storage space 55b is less likely to affect the inner storage space 55a.
- the bottomed cylindrical container constituting the oil flow suppressing member 50 preferably includes a structure for improving heat insulation.
- a hollow heat insulating structure as shown in the schematic cross-sectional view of FIG. 5 can be employed.
- the gap SH2 between the inner container 62 and the outer container 63 is the expansion through the oil 60 as a result of reducing the heat flow rate from the outer storage space 55b through the oil flow suppressing member 50 to the inner storage space 55.
- Heating and compression of mechanism 4 Helps prevent mechanism 2 from cooling.
- Such a hollow heat insulating structure can be obtained by combining a plurality of containers of the inner container 62 and the outer container 63 that are separately manufactured. In this way, complex shapes can be handled that cannot be created with a single injection molding or press molding!
- a cylindrical container having a bottom is used as the oil flow suppressing member 50.
- a mortar-like container whose depth changes continuously or stepwise is expanded. It is preferable to use a container whose shape is variously adjusted to the outer shape of mechanism 4.
- the bottomed cylindrical container constituting the oil flow suppressing member 50 can be constituted by a resin, a metal, a ceramic, or a combination thereof.
- Suitable resins include fluorine resin (for example, polytetrafluoroethylene), polyimide resin (PI), polyamide resin (PA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) can be exemplified. More preferably, porous rosin is used. porous High quality resin has excellent thermal insulation performance due to the large number of voids formed inside which have lower thermal conductivity than metal.
- fluorine resin for example, polytetrafluoroethylene
- PI polyimide resin
- PA polyamide resin
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- PEN polyethylene naphthalate
- PPS polyphenylene sulfide
- PBT polybutylene terephthalate
- porous High quality resin has excellent thermal insulation performance due to the large number of voids formed inside which have lower thermal conductivity than metal.
- the oil flow suppressing member 50 can be produced by press-molding a steel material or an aluminum material. Considering that press forming is a method with excellent productivity and that the above-mentioned materials are easy to process and inexpensive, it is wise to select the oil flow suppression member 50 made of metal.
- suitable ceramics include those used for various industrial products, such as alumina ceramic, silicon nitride ceramic, and aluminum nitride ceramic. This type of ceramic is a recommended material because it is considered to be more difficult to mold than grease and metal. In general, the thermal conductivity of ceramics is small compared to that of metals. Therefore, if importance is attached to durability and heat insulation properties, it may be considered that the oil flow suppressing member 50 is made of ceramic.
- FIG. 8 shows a refrigeration cycle apparatus using the expander-integrated compressor of the present embodiment.
- the refrigeration cycle apparatus 96 includes an expander-integrated compressor 70, a radiator 91, and an evaporator 92.
- the temperature of the compression mechanism 2 increases with the refrigerant in the compression process, and the temperature of the expansion mechanism 4 decreases with the refrigerant in the expansion process. Since the inside of the hermetic container 1 is filled with the high-temperature refrigerant discharged from the compression mechanism 2, the temperature of the oil 60 stored in the oil storage unit 6 also rises.
- the oil 60 filling the inner storage space 55a is cooled by the expansion mechanism 4 and the temperature thereof is increased. descend. Since the oil 60 whose temperature has decreased has a higher density than the hot oil 60 that fills the outer storage space 55b, the bottom 51 of the oil flow suppression member 50 also accumulates, and eventually the oil in the inner storage space 55a. 60 is mostly cold.
- the oil 60 that fills the periphery of the expansion mechanism 4 becomes a low temperature without being mixed with the high-temperature oil 60 that fills the outer storage space 55b.
- the expansion mechanism 4 can be prevented from being heated by the oil 60.
- an increase in the enthalpy of the refrigerant that also discharges the expansion mechanism 4 force is suppressed, and the refrigeration capacity of the refrigeration cycle apparatus 96 using the expander-integrated compressor 70 is increased.
- the oil 60 in the inner storage space 55a cooled by the expansion mechanism 4 does not easily mix with the oil 60 in the outer storage space 55b, the oil 60 in the outer storage space 55b is maintained at a relatively high temperature.
- the lubricated compression mechanism 2 can be prevented from being cooled. As a result, the decrease in the enthalpy of the refrigerant discharged from the compression mechanism 2 is suppressed, and the heating capacity of the refrigeration cycle apparatus 96 using the expander-integrated compressor 70 is increased.
- An expander-integrated compressor 700 shown in FIG. 6 includes an oil flow suppressing member 500 that is substantially composed only of a cylindrical portion 520 and a spacer portion 53. However, the lower end of the cylindrical part 520 is in contact with the bottom of the sealed container 1 without a gap, that is, the cylindrical part 520 is fixed to the bottom of the sealed container 1, so that the lower side of the cylindrical part 520 is oil 60. Can't circulate!
- the lower end of the shaft 5 is exposed to the inner storage space 55a. Therefore, an oil supply pipe 61 that connects the oil pump 27 and the outer storage space 55b is provided so that the oil pump 27 attached to the lower end of the shaft 5 can suck the oil 60 that fills the outer storage space 55b. Thereby, like the first embodiment, the flow of the oil 60 filling the inner storage space 55a is suppressed.
- the example in which the oil flow suppressing member 50 is attached to the expansion mechanism 4 of the expander-integrated compressor 70 has been described.
- the expander 80 of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 7 is connected to the hermetic container 81, the generator 30 disposed in the hermetic container 81, and the generator 30 to the shaft 85 and filled with oil.
- An expansion mechanism 4 disposed in the sealed container 81 is provided.
- An oil flow suppressing member 50 is attached to the expansion mechanism 4.
- the configurations of the expansion mechanism 4 and the oil flow suppression member 50 are the same as those in the first embodiment. Expansion energy is expanded when refrigerant expands It is recovered by mechanism 4 and converted to electric power by generator 30.
- the electric power generated by the generator 30 can be taken out of the sealed container 81 from the terminal 82.
- the expansion mechanism 4 is prevented from being heated by the high-temperature oil 60.
- FIG. 9 shows a refrigeration cycle apparatus using the expander of this embodiment.
- the refrigeration cycle apparatus 97 includes a compressor 90, a radiator 91, an expander 80, and an evaporator 92.

- the compressor 90 and the expander 80 are independent as in the refrigeration cycle apparatus 97 shown in FIG. 9, it is necessary to consider the oil balance. Specifically, in order to balance the amount of oil between the compressor 90 and the expander 80, the compressor 90 and the expander 80 are connected by an oil equalizing pipe 84. One end of the oil equalizing pipe 84 opens to the oil reservoir 6 (see FIG. 7) of the sealed container 81 of the expander 80, and the other end opens to the oil reservoir (not shown) of the sealed container of the compressor 90. It is attached to the compressor 90 and the expander 80. Furthermore, the compressor 90 and the expander 80 are connected by the pressure equalizing pipe 83, and the atmosphere inside the compressor 90 and the atmosphere inside the expander 80 are equalized.
