Abstract

Provided is a specific structure for a compressor valve plate, which can ensure smooth operation of an intake valve in terms of intake valve adhesion force by using lubricant oil, and can be mass-produced at low cost with high efficiency.  The compressor valve plate comprises: a valve plate having an intake hole and a discharge hole; an intake valve; and a discharge valve. The valve plate constitutes at least one part of a gas filling chamber which may be filled by introducing gas at a higher pressure than intake gas pressure between the valve plate and the intake valve, while a communication hole communicating with a surface at the closed side of the intake valve is formed.  The discharge valve which comprises a thin plate is formed in at least one part of a gas introduction path for introducing the high-pressure gas into the communication hole. In addition, the one part of the gas introduction path where the discharge valve is formed is sealed by means of a member disposed on the surface facing the discharge valve.

Description

圧縮機の弁板装置Compressor valve plate device
 本発明は、圧縮機の弁板装置に関し、とくに、吸入弁に円滑な作動を行わせるようにした圧縮機の弁板装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a valve plate device for a compressor, and more particularly, to a valve plate device for a compressor in which a suction valve is operated smoothly.
 例えば複数のシリンダを備えたピストン式圧縮機においては、通常、吸入室と吐出室を有するシリンダヘッドと、シリンダボアを有するシリンダブロックとの間に弁板装置が介在される。この弁板装置は、吸入室とシリンダボアとを連通する吸入孔、およびシリンダボアと吐出室とを連通する吐出孔を有する弁板と、該弁板のシリンダブロックに対向する面上に配置され、吸入孔を開閉する吸入弁と、弁板のシリンダヘッドに対向する面上に配置され、吐出孔を開閉する吐出弁とを備えた弁板装置を有している。 For example, in a piston type compressor having a plurality of cylinders, a valve plate device is usually interposed between a cylinder head having a suction chamber and a discharge chamber and a cylinder block having a cylinder bore. The valve plate device is disposed on a surface of the valve plate facing the cylinder block, the suction plate communicating with the suction chamber and the cylinder bore, and the discharge plate communicating with the cylinder bore and the discharge chamber. The valve plate device includes a suction valve that opens and closes a hole, and a discharge valve that is disposed on a surface of the valve plate facing the cylinder head and opens and closes the discharge hole.
 この弁板装置は、シリンダボア内に往復動自在に挿入されたピストンが吸入行程および吐出行程にあるときに、ガスが逆流しないようにするためのものである。より具体的は、ピストンが吸入行程にあるときに、吸入弁が弁板の吸入孔を開き、吐出弁が弁板の吐出孔を閉じ、ピストンが吐出行程にあるときに、吸入弁が弁板の吸入孔を閉じ、吐出弁が弁板の吐出孔を開くことにより、ガスの逆流を防いでいる。 This valve plate device is for preventing the gas from flowing backward when the piston inserted in the cylinder bore so as to freely reciprocate is in the intake stroke and the discharge stroke. More specifically, when the piston is in the intake stroke, the intake valve opens the intake hole of the valve plate, the discharge valve closes the discharge hole of the valve plate, and when the piston is in the discharge stroke, the intake valve By closing the suction hole and opening the discharge hole of the valve plate by the discharge valve, the backflow of gas is prevented.
 従来の一般的な弁板装置の場合、弁板は平坦な板体で凹凸がない形状に形成されている。一方、圧縮機によって吸入、圧縮されるガスには、圧縮機を潤滑するための潤滑油が霧状に含まれている。このガスに含まれる霧状の潤滑油は、弁板に触れると、その一部が油膜となって弁板に付着する。この弁板に付着した潤滑油は、弁板と吸入弁との間に入り込み、その表面張力、粘着力等による張り付き力によって吸入弁を開き難くする。この結果、吸入弁を開かせるためには、吸入弁自身の剛性による張り付き力に加えて、潤滑油の表面張力や粘着力等による張り付き力の分、余分に力を加える必要があり、この力を得るためにシリンダボア内と吸入室内との圧力差を大きくする必要が生じ、そのためにピストンが余分な仕事を行う必要がある。また、張り付いていた吸入弁が開くと、開弁度合を規制しているリセス部を激しく叩くおそれがあるので、騒音、振動の発生の原因となることがある。 In the case of a conventional general valve plate device, the valve plate is a flat plate body and is formed in a shape having no irregularities. On the other hand, the gas sucked and compressed by the compressor contains a mist of lubricating oil for lubricating the compressor. When the mist-like lubricating oil contained in this gas touches the valve plate, a part of it becomes an oil film and adheres to the valve plate. The lubricating oil adhering to the valve plate enters between the valve plate and the suction valve, and makes it difficult to open the suction valve due to the sticking force due to the surface tension, adhesive force, and the like. As a result, in order to open the suction valve, in addition to the sticking force due to the rigidity of the suction valve itself, it is necessary to apply extra force due to the sticking force due to the surface tension or adhesive force of the lubricating oil. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the pressure difference between the cylinder bore and the suction chamber, and the piston needs to do extra work. Also, if the stuck suction valve is opened, there is a risk of hitting the recess that regulates the degree of valve opening, which may cause noise and vibration.
 なお、吐出弁側に対しては、潤滑油により吐出弁が開き難くなることによって生じる過圧縮を防止するために、弁板の吐出弁への対向部にガス充填凹部を形成する構造が特許文献1に開示されている。しかしこの特許文献1においては、吸入弁側については言及されていない。また、特許文献2には、弁板の吸入弁への対向面に、吸入圧を導入する凹状溝を形成した構造が開示されているが、吸入圧は比較的低いため、吸入弁の開動作を十分に助勢することは困難である。

For the discharge valve side, a structure in which a gas filling recess is formed in a portion of the valve plate facing the discharge valve in order to prevent over-compression caused by difficulty in opening the discharge valve due to lubricating oil. 1 is disclosed. However, this Patent Document 1 does not mention the suction valve side. Patent Document 2 discloses a structure in which a concave groove for introducing suction pressure is formed on the surface of the valve plate facing the suction valve. However, since the suction pressure is relatively low, the opening operation of the suction valve is disclosed. It is difficult to fully assist.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-166480 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-89876
 上記のような吸入弁の張り付きに伴う問題に鑑み、未だ未公開の段階にあるが、先に本出願人により、吐出ガスの一部を吸入弁の裏側(吸入弁と弁板との間)に戻すことにより、その吐出ガスによる圧力を利用して強制的に吸入弁を開かせる機構(強制弁開機構と呼んでいる。)が提案されている(特願2008-168501号)。強制弁開機構は、実機においても張り付き低減に効果があることが実証されている。この実機検証機では吐出ガスを吸入弁の裏側まで戻す経路(ガス導入経路)を弁板に溝を彫ることで形成していたが、この形態では、弁板が比較的厚い板からなるため、量産においてプレス加工機への負担が増加し、製造コストが増加することが懸念される。そのため、上記先の提案では、このガス導入経路を薄板からなる吐出弁に形成することも提案しているが、原理的な構造のみで具体的な構造までは提案しておらず、さらにその形態における望ましい構造までは提案していなかった。したがって、実際に実施するための具体的な問題点や解決すべき課題が明らかになっているとは言えず、その解決手段も明らかになっているとは言えなかった。 In view of the problems associated with the sticking of the suction valve as described above, it is still unpublished. However, the applicant of the present invention previously removed part of the discharge gas behind the suction valve (between the suction valve and the valve plate). A mechanism for forcibly opening the suction valve using the pressure of the discharged gas (referred to as a forced valve opening mechanism) has been proposed (Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-168501). The forced valve opening mechanism has been proven to be effective in reducing sticking even in actual machines. In this actual machine verification machine, the path to return the discharge gas to the back side of the intake valve (gas introduction path) was formed by carving a groove in the valve plate, but in this form the valve plate is made of a relatively thick plate, In mass production, there is a concern that the burden on the press machine will increase and the manufacturing cost will increase. Therefore, in the above proposal, it is also proposed to form this gas introduction path in a discharge valve made of a thin plate, but only a fundamental structure is proposed but no specific structure is proposed. We did not propose a desirable structure in. Therefore, it cannot be said that specific problems to be actually carried out and problems to be solved have been clarified, and the solution means has not been clarified.
 そこで本発明の課題は、上記のような吸入弁側の問題点に着目するとともに、本出願人による先の提案技術にも着目し、潤滑油の張り付き力により吸入弁が開き難くなることによって生じていた消費動力の増加、および騒音や振動の発生を防止あるいは抑制可能な構造を提供するとともに、量産する際においても、プレス加工機等への負担を軽減し、製造コストを低減することが可能な、より具体的な望ましい構造に構成した圧縮機の弁板装置を提供することにある。 Accordingly, the problem of the present invention is caused not only by focusing on the problems on the suction valve side as described above, but also by focusing on the previously proposed technique by the applicant, and the suction valve is difficult to open due to the sticking force of the lubricating oil. In addition to providing a structure that can prevent or suppress the increase in power consumption and the generation of noise and vibration, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost by reducing the burden on the press machine, etc. even during mass production. Another object of the present invention is to provide a valve plate device for a compressor having a more specific desirable structure.
  上記課題を解決するために、本発明に係る圧縮機の弁板装置は、吸入室と吐出室を有するシリンダヘッドと、ピストンが往復動自在に挿入されたシリンダボアを有するシリンダブロックとの間に介在する圧縮機の弁板装置であって、前記吸入室と前記シリンダボアとを連通する吸入孔、および前記シリンダボアと前記吐出室とを連通する吐出孔を有する弁板と、該弁板の前記シリンダブロックに対向する面上に配置され、前記吸入孔を開閉する吸入弁と、前記弁板の前記シリンダヘッドに対向する面上に配置され、前記吐出孔を開閉する吐出弁とを有する圧縮機の弁板装置において、
 前記弁板に、該弁板と前記吸入弁との間に前記吸入室内の吸入ガス圧力よりも高い圧力のガスを導入・充填可能なガス充填室の少なくとも一部を構成するとともに、前記吸入弁の閉弁側の面へと連通する連通孔を設け、該連通孔へ前記吸入室内の吸入ガス圧力よりも高い圧力のガスを導入するためのガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分を前記吐出弁に形成し、かつ、該吐出弁と対向する面に配置される部材により、前記吐出弁に形成されたガス導入経路の一部分がシールされていることを特徴とするものからなる。
In order to solve the above problems, a valve plate device for a compressor according to the present invention is interposed between a cylinder head having a suction chamber and a discharge chamber and a cylinder block having a cylinder bore into which a piston is reciprocally inserted. A valve plate device for a compressor that includes a suction hole that communicates the suction chamber and the cylinder bore, a valve plate that communicates the cylinder bore and the discharge chamber, and the cylinder block of the valve plate And a suction valve that opens and closes the suction hole, and a discharge valve that is disposed on the face of the valve plate facing the cylinder head and opens and closes the discharge hole. In the plate device,
The valve plate constitutes at least a part of a gas filling chamber capable of introducing and filling a gas having a pressure higher than the suction gas pressure in the suction chamber between the valve plate and the suction valve, and the suction valve A communication hole that communicates with the valve-closing surface of the valve, and at least a part of a gas introduction path for introducing a gas having a pressure higher than the suction gas pressure in the suction chamber into the communication hole is formed in the discharge valve. In addition, a part of the gas introduction path formed in the discharge valve is sealed by a member disposed on a surface facing the discharge valve.
 このような本発明に係る圧縮機の弁板装置においては、吸入弁が閉弁されているときに、その吸入弁の閉弁側の面へと、上記ガス導入経路、連通孔を介して吸入室内の吸入ガスの圧力よりも高い圧力のガスが導入可能となり、導入されたガスは、弁板と吸入弁との間に該ガスを導入・充填可能に形成されたガス充填室に充填される。このように連通孔を介して吸入室内の吸入ガスの圧力よりも高い圧力のガスが、閉弁されている吸入弁の閉弁側の面(弁板と対向する側の面)へと導かれ、その部位に充填されることにより、ピストンの吸入行程(シリンダボア内ガスの膨張行程)においてシリンダボア内の圧力が低下することで、上記充填ガスの圧力とシリンダボア内圧力との間に差圧が生じ、この圧力差によって吸入弁を押し上げる方向の(開弁する方向の)力が生じる。この開弁方向の力が付加されるこにより、潤滑油による張り付きがあっても、吸入弁を速やかに円滑に開かせることが可能になり、ピストンが余分な仕事を行う必要がなくなるので、圧縮機の消費動力が低減される。また、速やかにかつ円滑に吸入弁が開くことで、吸入弁が激しくリセスを叩くことによって発生するおそれのあった騒音や振動が低減されることになる。そして、上記連通孔へ吸入室内の吸入ガス圧力よりも高い圧力のガスを導入するためのガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分が、比較的薄板部材からなる吐出弁に形成されることにより、ガス導入経路の形成が容易化され、プレスで形成する場合にはプレス加工機への負担が減少し、量産される際の製造コストの低減が可能になる。また、ガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分が、形成の容易な薄板部材からなる吐出弁に形成されることにより、ガス導入経路の取り回しの自由度が向上し、多様な機種に対して、吸入弁の作動安定化のための強制弁開構造を展開することが可能になる。また、ガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分が吐出弁に形成されることにより、ガス導入経路の残りの部分を弁板に形成する場合にあっても、弁板に形成すべきガス導入経路の経路長を低減することができ、弁板のガス吹き抜けに対する耐久性(吹き抜け耐久性)の向上が可能になる。さらに、吐出弁と対向する面に配置される部材(例えば、吐出弁とシリンダヘッドとの間に介装されるガスケットや吐出弁用リテーナ一体ガスケット、あるいは上記弁板)により、上記吐出弁に形成されたガス導入経路の一部分がシールされていることにより、該ガス導入経路を介して吸入弁の閉弁側の面へと導かれる上記吸入室内の吸入ガスの圧力よりも高い圧力のガスが、所望の圧力を維持した状態にて効率よく吸入弁の閉弁側の面側へと導入されることになり、吸入弁の速やかなかつ円滑な開弁動作がより確実に確保されることになる。 In such a valve plate device for a compressor according to the present invention, when the suction valve is closed, the suction valve is sucked into the valve-closing surface of the suction valve via the gas introduction path and the communication hole. A gas having a pressure higher than the pressure of the suction gas in the room can be introduced, and the introduced gas is filled in a gas filling chamber formed so that the gas can be introduced and filled between the valve plate and the suction valve. . In this way, the gas having a pressure higher than the pressure of the suction gas in the suction chamber is led to the valve closing side surface (the surface facing the valve plate) of the closed suction valve through the communication hole. By filling the part, the pressure in the cylinder bore decreases during the piston suction stroke (cylinder bore gas expansion stroke), and a differential pressure is generated between the pressure of the filling gas and the cylinder bore pressure. Due to this pressure difference, a force in the direction of pushing up the suction valve (in the direction of opening) is generated. By applying this force in the valve opening direction, the suction valve can be opened quickly and smoothly even if there is sticking with lubricating oil, and the piston does not have to do extra work, so compression The power consumption of the machine is reduced. In addition, since the suction valve opens quickly and smoothly, noise and vibration that may have occurred due to the suction valve striking a recess are reduced. Then, at least a part of the gas introduction path for introducing a gas having a pressure higher than the suction gas pressure in the suction chamber into the communication hole is formed in a discharge valve made of a relatively thin plate member, whereby the gas introduction path Formation is facilitated, and when formed by a press, the burden on the press machine is reduced, and the manufacturing cost for mass production can be reduced. In addition, since at least a part of the gas introduction path is formed as a discharge valve made of an easily formed thin plate member, the degree of freedom in handling the gas introduction path is improved, and the intake valve can be operated for various models. It becomes possible to develop a forced valve opening structure for stabilization. Further, since at least a part of the gas introduction path is formed in the discharge valve, even when the remaining part of the gas introduction path is formed in the valve plate, the length of the gas introduction path to be formed in the valve plate is reduced. It can be reduced, and the durability of the valve plate against gas blow-through (blow-through durability) can be improved. Further, the discharge valve is formed by a member (for example, a gasket interposed between the discharge valve and the cylinder head, a discharge valve retainer integrated gasket, or the valve plate) disposed on the surface facing the discharge valve. By sealing a part of the gas introduction path formed, a gas having a pressure higher than the pressure of the suction gas in the suction chamber guided to the valve closing side surface of the suction valve through the gas introduction path is The intake valve is efficiently introduced into the valve closing side of the intake valve in a state where the desired pressure is maintained, and a quick and smooth opening operation of the intake valve is more reliably ensured.
 上記本発明に係る圧縮機の弁板装置においては、上記吐出弁に形成されたガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分が、シリンダヘッド内の吐出室と吸入室との間の隔壁の少なくとも一部に対応する部位を通っている構成とすることができる。すなわち、ガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分を、シリンダヘッドの隔壁が位置する範囲内の位置に納めた構成である。シリンダヘッドの隔壁部は締結等により固定される部位で面圧が高いので、上記のような構成により、シリンダヘッドの隔壁部の面圧を利用してその部位のガス導入経路のシール性を向上することができ、ガス導入経路からのガス漏れを低減することができる。 In the above-described valve plate device for a compressor according to the present invention, at least a part of the gas introduction path formed in the discharge valve corresponds to at least a part of the partition wall between the discharge chamber and the suction chamber in the cylinder head. It can be set as the structure which passes along the site | part. In other words, at least a part of the gas introduction path is placed in a position within a range where the partition wall of the cylinder head is located. Since the surface pressure of the partition of the cylinder head is high at the site where it is fixed by fastening, etc., the surface pressure of the partition of the cylinder head is used to improve the sealing performance of the gas introduction path at that location. It is possible to reduce gas leakage from the gas introduction path.
 また、上記吐出弁に形成されたガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分が、シリンダヘッドの外周壁の少なくとも一部に対応する部位を通っている構成とすることもできる。上記同様に、シリンダヘッドの外周壁部位も面圧が高いので、この外周壁が位置する範囲内の位置にガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分を納めることにより、その部位におけるガス導入経路のシール性を向上することができ、ガス導入経路からのガス漏れを低減することができる。 Also, at least a part of the gas introduction path formed in the discharge valve may be configured to pass through a part corresponding to at least a part of the outer peripheral wall of the cylinder head. As described above, since the surface pressure of the outer peripheral wall portion of the cylinder head is also high, by sealing at least a part of the gas introduction route at a position within the range where the outer peripheral wall is located, the sealing performance of the gas introduction route at that portion is improved. It is possible to reduce gas leakage from the gas introduction path.
 また、上記吐出弁と対向する面に配置される部材の少なくとも一部分に、吐出弁に形成されたガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分、または該一部分と上記連通孔の周囲部を含む部分をシールするビードが形成されている構成とすることができる。このようなビードを形成することにより、ビード部のシール面圧を局部的に高めることが可能になるので、このビード部位で囲まれたガス導入経路のシール性を向上することができ、ガス導入経路からのガス漏れを低減することができる。 Further, a bead that seals at least a part of the gas introduction path formed in the discharge valve or a part including the part and the periphery of the communication hole is formed on at least a part of the member disposed on the surface facing the discharge valve. It can be set as the formed structure. By forming such a bead, it becomes possible to locally increase the seal surface pressure of the bead part, so that the sealing performance of the gas introduction path surrounded by this bead part can be improved, and the gas introduction Gas leakage from the path can be reduced.
 また、上記吐出弁および上記吐出弁と対向する面に配置される部材の少なくともいずれか一方の対向面の少なくとも一部が高分子材料により形成されている構成とすることができる。対向面に密着可能な適切な高分子材料を選択すれば、このような少なくとも一部が高分子材料により形成されている部材を採用することによってガス導入経路のシール性を向上することが可能になり、ガス導入経路からのガス漏れを低減することができる。 In addition, at least a part of at least one of the facing surfaces of the discharge valve and the member disposed on the surface facing the discharge valve may be formed of a polymer material. By selecting an appropriate polymer material that can be in close contact with the opposing surface, it is possible to improve the sealing performance of the gas introduction path by employing a member in which at least a part is formed of the polymer material. Thus, gas leakage from the gas introduction path can be reduced.
 また、上記吐出弁に形成されたガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分は、打ち抜き加工によって形成されていることが好ましい。吐出弁は弁板に比べ薄板に構成されるので、容易に打ち抜き加工を行うことが可能であり、打ち抜き加工によって少ない加工負荷にて簡単に精度良く所定のガス導入経路を吐出弁に形成できるようになり、加工時間、製造コストの低減が可能になる。 Further, it is preferable that at least a part of the gas introduction path formed in the discharge valve is formed by punching. Since the discharge valve is made thinner than the valve plate, it can be easily punched, and a predetermined gas introduction path can be formed in the discharge valve easily and accurately with a small processing load by punching. Thus, the processing time and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
 また、上記吐出弁に形成されたガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分を、ビード加工によって形成することも可能である。ビード加工により通路を形成すれば、ビード部に通路形成機能とシール機能の両方を持たせることが可能になり、簡素な構造にて、良好なシール性を有するガス導入経路を容易に形成することが可能になる。 Also, at least a part of the gas introduction path formed in the discharge valve can be formed by bead processing. If the passage is formed by bead processing, the bead portion can have both a passage forming function and a sealing function, and a gas introduction path having a good sealing property can be easily formed with a simple structure. Is possible.
 また、上記吐出弁と該吐出弁と対向する面に配置される部材(例えば、ガスケット、弁板)の間の少なくとも一部分に、高分子材料が少なくとも一部分使用されたシール材が挟まれている構造を採用することも可能である。このようなシール材の介装により、吐出弁に形成されたガス導入経路のシール性を向上させることができ、このシール材を連通孔周囲まで延在させれば、連通孔に対するシール性も向上させることができる。 Also, a structure in which a sealing material in which at least a part of a polymer material is used is sandwiched between at least a part between the discharge valve and a member (for example, a gasket, a valve plate) disposed on a surface facing the discharge valve. It is also possible to adopt. By providing such a sealing material, the sealing performance of the gas introduction path formed in the discharge valve can be improved. If this sealing material is extended to the periphery of the communication hole, the sealing performance for the communication hole is also improved. Can be made.
 また、上記吐出弁と該吐出弁と対向する面に配置される部材の間の少なくとも一部分が、接着性を有する高分子材料により互いに接合されている構造とすることも可能である。このような構造では、高分子材料により両部材が直接接着接合されるので、必要な部位のシール性が容易にかつ確実に向上される。 In addition, it is also possible to adopt a structure in which at least a part between the discharge valve and a member disposed on the surface facing the discharge valve is joined to each other by an adhesive polymer material. In such a structure, since both members are directly bonded and joined by the polymer material, the sealing performance of a necessary portion can be easily and reliably improved.
 上記吐出弁と弁板とは、適当な結合手段により結合されていればよい。例えば、吐出弁と弁板の少なくとも一箇所以上がリベットまたはボルトにより結合されている構造とすることができる。 The discharge valve and the valve plate may be connected by an appropriate connecting means. For example, a structure in which at least one of the discharge valve and the valve plate is coupled by a rivet or a bolt can be employed.
 上記吐出弁に形成されたガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分に対するシール部分は、良好なシール性を確保するために、ある程度以上のシール幅に設定しておくことが好ましく、例えば、シール幅が0.2mm以上に設定されていることが好ましい。 In order to ensure a good sealing property, it is preferable to set a seal width of at least a part of the gas introduction path formed in the discharge valve to a certain extent, for example, a seal width of 0.2 mm. It is preferable that the above is set.
 また、上記吐出弁の支持形態はとくに限定されないが、シリンダヘッドと弁板との間に所定の形態で保持させるために、例えば、上記吐出室内に位置する部分の少なくとも一部分が、シリンダヘッドにより支持されている構造とすることができる。 Further, although the discharge valve is not particularly limited in its support form, for example, at least a part of the portion located in the discharge chamber is supported by the cylinder head in order to hold it in a predetermined form between the cylinder head and the valve plate. The structure can be made.
 また、上記吐出弁に形成されたガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分には、バレル研磨加工を施しておくことが可能である。バレル研磨加工により、この部位のガス導入経路の内面が凹凸のない滑らかな面に加工されるので、通路内のガス流動抵抗が大幅に低減され、導入されてきたガスを容易に所望の圧力を保った状態で連通孔へと導入させることが可能になる。 Further, barrel polishing can be applied to at least a part of the gas introduction path formed in the discharge valve. By barrel polishing, the inner surface of the gas introduction path at this part is processed into a smooth surface without irregularities, so that the gas flow resistance in the passage is greatly reduced, and the introduced gas can be easily adjusted to the desired pressure. It can be introduced into the communication hole in a maintained state.
 また、本発明においては、上記吐出弁に形成されたガス導入経路は一定の幅で延設された構造とすることもできるが、ガス導入経路の幅が部分的に変化している構造とすることも可能である。 In the present invention, the gas introduction path formed in the discharge valve may be extended with a constant width, but the width of the gas introduction path is partially changed. It is also possible.
 また、上記吐出弁に形成されたガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分が、上記シリンダヘッドの吐出室と吸入室との間の隔壁に対応する部位を通る場合には、その部位におけるガス導入経路の幅は、吐出室と吸入室との間の隔壁の幅よりも小さいことが好ましい。このような通路幅とすることにより、隔壁に対応する部位の高いシール面圧を利用して、この部位におけるガス導入経路のシール性の向上をはかることが可能になる。 Further, when at least a part of the gas introduction path formed in the discharge valve passes through a part corresponding to the partition wall between the discharge chamber and the suction chamber of the cylinder head, the width of the gas introduction path in the part is The width is preferably smaller than the width of the partition wall between the discharge chamber and the suction chamber. By adopting such a passage width, it is possible to improve the sealing performance of the gas introduction path at this part by utilizing the high seal surface pressure of the part corresponding to the partition wall.
 また、上記吐出弁に形成されるガス導入経路は、途中で屈曲していたり、湾曲していたりしてもよい。ガス導入経路に要求されるシール性等を考慮して、その通路幅や延設形態を決定すればよい。 Further, the gas introduction path formed in the discharge valve may be bent or curved in the middle. The passage width and the extending form may be determined in consideration of the sealing property required for the gas introduction path.
 本発明においては、上記ガス導入経路の通り道は種々の形態を採ることが可能である。例えば、上記ガス導入経路が、弁板-吐出弁-弁板の順に形成されている形態とすることもでき、弁板-吐出弁の順に形成されている形態とすることもできる。 In the present invention, the path of the gas introduction path can take various forms. For example, the gas introduction path may be formed in the order of valve plate-discharge valve-valve plate, or may be formed in the order of valve plate-discharge valve.
 また、上記連通孔まで含めた、ガスを導入するための経路としては、吐出弁と弁板によって形成されている形成されている形態とすることができる。 In addition, the path for introducing gas including the communication hole may be formed by a discharge valve and a valve plate.
 上記のような本発明に係る圧縮機の弁板装置は、基本的にあらゆる圧縮機に適用可能で
ある。なかでも、とくに吸入弁に安定した作動が求められ、騒音や振動の抑制が望まれる車両用空調装置に使用される圧縮機に適用して好適なものである。
The above-described valve plate device for a compressor according to the present invention is basically applicable to any compressor. In particular, the present invention is suitable for application to a compressor used in a vehicle air conditioner that requires a stable operation of the intake valve and is desired to suppress noise and vibration.
 本発明に係る圧縮機の弁板装置によれば、吸入弁の弁板側の面に、ガス充填室に導入、充填された適切な圧力のガスにより、吸入弁に開弁方向の力を付加できるようにしたので、潤滑油の張り付き力により吸入弁が開き難くなることを防止でき、吸入弁が開き難くなることによって生じていた圧縮機の消費動力の増加、およびその吸入弁が開弁する際の騒音や振動の発生を防止あるいは抑制することが可能になる。また、適切な圧力のガスを導くガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分を比較的薄板の吐出弁に形成する構造、およびそのガス導入経路のシールする構造により、所望の性能のガス経路を容易に形成できるようになる。そして本発明では、このような弁板装置を量産する際の各種形態を具体的に提示しているので、プレス加工機等への負担を軽減し、製造コストを低減することが可能になり、現実的にこの弁板装置を各種圧縮機に適切に展開できるようになる。 According to the valve plate device of the compressor according to the present invention, a force in the valve opening direction is applied to the suction valve by the gas having an appropriate pressure introduced and filled in the gas filling chamber on the valve plate side surface of the suction valve. As a result, it is possible to prevent the suction valve from becoming difficult to open due to the sticking force of the lubricating oil, increase in the power consumption of the compressor caused by the suction valve becoming difficult to open, and the suction valve to open It is possible to prevent or suppress the generation of noise and vibration. In addition, a gas path having a desired performance can be easily formed by a structure in which at least a part of a gas introduction path for guiding a gas having an appropriate pressure is formed in a relatively thin discharge valve and a structure for sealing the gas introduction path. become. And in the present invention, since various forms at the time of mass production of such a valve plate device are specifically presented, it becomes possible to reduce the burden on the press machine and reduce the manufacturing cost, In reality, this valve plate device can be appropriately deployed in various compressors.

In such a compressor 1, the valve plate device 20 according to the present invention is interposed between the cylinder head 2 and the cylinder block 5.
 本実施態様では、弁板装置20は図2~図9に示すように構成されている。弁板装置20は、図2に示すように、シリンダヘッド2内に形成された吸入室21とシリンダボア4とを連通する吸入孔22、および、シリンダボア4(図示例では、隣接するシリンダボア4を示している。)とシリンダヘッド2内に形成された吐出室23とを連通する吐出孔24を有する弁板25と、該弁板25のシリンダブロック5に対向する面上に配置され、吸入孔22を開閉する吸入弁26と、弁板25のシリンダヘッド2に対向する面上に配置され、吐出孔24を開閉する吐出弁27と、吐出弁27の開度を規制するリテーナ部28が一体に形成されたリテーナ一体型ガスケット29とを有している。上記弁板25には、該弁板25と吸入弁26との間に吸入室21内の吸入ガス圧力よりも高い圧力のガス(本実施態様では、吐出室23内のガス)を導入・充填可能なガス充填室30の少なくとも一部を構成するとともに、吸入弁26の閉弁側の面へと連通する連通孔31が設けられているとともに、吐出弁27には、連通孔31へ上記吸入室内の吸入ガス圧力よりも高い圧力のガスを導入するためのガス導入経路32の少なくとも一部分33が形成されている。この通路部分33は、例えば、吐出弁27の打ち抜き加工によって形成できる。図示例では、連通孔31へのガス導入経路32は、吐出弁27に形成された通路部分33と、それに連通するように弁板25に形成された通路部分34、35とからなっている。また、図示例では、上記ガス充填室30は、上記連通孔31と、弁板25の吸入弁26への対向面上に形成されたガス充填凹部36とから形成されている。そして、吐出弁27と対向する面に配置される部材(図示例では、リテーナ一体型ガスケット29)により、上記吐出弁27に形成されたガス導入経路の一部分(通路部分33)がシールされている。図2における矢印は、ガス導入経路32を通して連通孔31へと導入されるガスの流れを示している。なお、図2における37は、吸入弁26の先端部で吸入弁26の開度を規制する、シリンダボア4内周縁部に形成されたリセスを示している。図3は、上記構造において、リテーナ一体型ガスケット29を除いた弁板装置20部の構成を示している。なお、図2の断面は、後述の図8、図9に示したA-A線に沿って見た縦断面である。 In this embodiment, the valve plate device 20 is configured as shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 2, the valve plate device 20 includes a suction hole 22 formed in the cylinder head 2 for communicating with the cylinder bore 4, and a cylinder bore 4 (in the illustrated example, the adjacent cylinder bore 4 is shown). And a discharge plate 24 having a discharge hole 24 communicating with the discharge chamber 23 formed in the cylinder head 2, and a suction plate 22 disposed on a surface of the valve plate 25 facing the cylinder block 5. A suction valve 26 that opens and closes the valve, a discharge valve 27 that opens and closes the discharge hole 24, and a retainer portion 28 that regulates the opening of the discharge valve 27 are integrated on the surface of the valve plate 25 that faces the cylinder head 2. The retainer-integrated gasket 29 is formed. The valve plate 25 is introduced and filled with a gas having a pressure higher than the suction gas pressure in the suction chamber 21 (in this embodiment, the gas in the discharge chamber 23) between the valve plate 25 and the suction valve 26. A communication hole 31 that constitutes at least a part of the possible gas filling chamber 30 and communicates with the surface on the valve closing side of the suction valve 26 is provided, and the discharge valve 27 has the suction hole 31 connected to the communication hole 31. At least a portion 33 of a gas introduction path 32 for introducing a gas having a pressure higher than the intake gas pressure in the room is formed. The passage portion 33 can be formed by punching the discharge valve 27, for example. In the illustrated example, the gas introduction path 32 to the communication hole 31 includes a passage portion 33 formed in the discharge valve 27 and passage portions 34 and 35 formed in the valve plate 25 so as to communicate with the passage portion 33. In the illustrated example, the gas filling chamber 30 is formed by the communication hole 31 and a gas filling recess 36 formed on the surface of the valve plate 25 facing the suction valve 26. A part (passage portion 33) of the gas introduction path formed in the discharge valve 27 is sealed by a member (in the illustrated example, a retainer-integrated gasket 29) disposed on the surface facing the discharge valve 27. . The arrows in FIG. 2 indicate the flow of gas introduced into the communication hole 31 through the gas introduction path 32. Note that reference numeral 37 in FIG. 2 denotes a recess formed in the inner peripheral edge of the cylinder bore 4 that restricts the opening of the intake valve 26 at the tip of the intake valve 26. FIG. 3 shows the configuration of 20 parts of the valve plate device except the retainer integrated gasket 29 in the above structure. 2 is a longitudinal section taken along the line AA shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 described later.

FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. Further, FIG. 7 is a plan view when the retainer-integrated gasket 29 is assembled on the discharge valve 27 shown in FIG. 8 is a perspective plan view in the assembled state of FIG. 7, FIG. 9 is a partially enlarged view thereof, and the cross section shown in FIG. 2 is seen along the line AA shown in FIGS. It shows that it is a vertical section.
 このように構成された圧縮機の弁板装置20においては、吸入弁26が閉弁されているときに、その吸入弁26の閉弁側の面へと、ガス導入経路32、連通孔31を介して吸入室内の吸入ガスの圧力よりも高い圧力のガス(本実施態様では吐出ガス)が導入可能となり、導入されたガスは、弁板25と吸入弁26との間に形成されたガス充填凹部36を含むガス充填室30に充填される。ピストン3の吸入行程(シリンダボア4内ガスの膨張行程)においてシリンダボア4内の圧力が低下することで、上記ガス充填室30に充填された、吸入室内の吸入ガスの圧力よりも高い圧力のガスとシリンダボア4内圧力との間に差圧が生じ、この圧力差によって吸入弁26を押し上げる方向の(開弁する方向の)力が生じる。この開弁方向の力が付加されるため、潤滑油による張り付きがあっても、吸入弁26を速やかに円滑に開かせることが可能になる。また、その分、ピストン3が余分な仕事を行う必要がなくなるので、圧縮機の消費動力が低減される。また、速やかにかつ円滑に吸入弁26が開くことで、吸入弁26が激しくリセス37を叩くことによって発生するおそれのあった騒音や振動が低減されることになる。 In the valve plate device 20 of the compressor configured as described above, when the suction valve 26 is closed, the gas introduction path 32 and the communication hole 31 are connected to the valve-side surface of the suction valve 26. Thus, a gas having a pressure higher than the pressure of the suction gas in the suction chamber (discharge gas in the present embodiment) can be introduced, and the introduced gas is filled with a gas formed between the valve plate 25 and the suction valve 26. The gas filling chamber 30 including the recess 36 is filled. In the suction stroke of the piston 3 (expansion stroke of the gas in the cylinder bore 4), the pressure in the cylinder bore 4 is reduced, so that the gas filled in the gas filling chamber 30 has a pressure higher than the pressure of the suction gas in the suction chamber. A differential pressure is generated between the cylinder bore 4 and the internal pressure of the cylinder bore 4, and a force in the direction of pushing up the suction valve 26 (in the direction of opening the valve) is generated by the pressure difference. Since the force in the valve opening direction is applied, the suction valve 26 can be opened quickly and smoothly even if there is sticking by the lubricating oil. In addition, since it is not necessary for the piston 3 to perform extra work, the power consumption of the compressor is reduced. In addition, since the suction valve 26 opens quickly and smoothly, noise and vibration that may have occurred due to the suction valve 26 striking the recess 37 are reduced.
 連通孔31へ吸入室内の吸入ガス圧力よりも高い圧力のガスを導入するためのガス導入経路32の少なくとも一部分(上記実施態様では、通路部分33)が、比較的薄板部材からなる吐出弁27に形成されているので、例えばプレスで形成する場合にはプレス加工機への負担が減少し、ガス導入経路32の形成が容易化される。したがて、量産される際の製造コストの低減も可能になる。また、ガス導入経路32の少なくとも一部分が、形成の容易な薄板部材からなる吐出弁27に形成されることにより、ガス導入経路32の取り回しの自由度が向上し、例えば、屈曲したり湾曲して延びることも可能になり、多様な機種に対して、吸入弁26の作動安定化のための強制弁開構造を展開することが可能になる。また、ガス導入経路32の少なくとも一部分(通路部分33)が吐出弁27に形成されることにより、ガス導入経路32の残りの部分(通路部分34、35)を弁板25に形成する場合にあっても、弁板25に形成すべきガス導入経路32の経路長を大幅に低減することができ、弁板25の吹き抜け耐久性の向上が可能になる。 At least a portion of the gas introduction path 32 (in the above embodiment, the passage portion 33) for introducing a gas having a pressure higher than the suction gas pressure in the suction chamber into the communication hole 31 is provided in the discharge valve 27 made of a relatively thin plate member. Since it is formed, for example, when it is formed by a press, the burden on the press machine is reduced, and the formation of the gas introduction path 32 is facilitated. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost when mass-produced. Further, since at least a part of the gas introduction path 32 is formed in the discharge valve 27 made of an easily formed thin plate member, the degree of freedom in handling the gas introduction path 32 is improved, for example, bent or curved. It becomes possible to extend, and it becomes possible to develop a forced valve opening structure for stabilizing the operation of the suction valve 26 for various models. Further, when at least a part (passage portion 33) of the gas introduction path 32 is formed in the discharge valve 27, the remaining portions (passage portions 34 and 35) of the gas introduction path 32 are formed in the valve plate 25. However, the path length of the gas introduction path 32 to be formed in the valve plate 25 can be greatly reduced, and the blow-through durability of the valve plate 25 can be improved.
 また、吐出弁27と対向する面に配置される部材(上記実施態様では、リテーナ一体型ガスケット29)により、吐出弁27に形成されたガス導入経路32の一部分(通路部分33)が簡単にシールでき、かつガスケット29によって良好なシール性能を発揮できるので、ガス導入経路32を介して吸入弁26の閉弁側の面へと導かれる上記吸入室内の吸入ガスの圧力よりも高い圧力のガスが、所望の圧力を維持した状態にて効率よく吸入弁26の閉弁側の面側へと導入される。このガス圧により、吸入弁26の速やかなかつ円滑な開弁動作がより確実に確保されることになる。 Further, a part (passage portion 33) of the gas introduction path 32 formed in the discharge valve 27 is simply sealed by a member (in the above embodiment, the retainer-integrated gasket 29) disposed on the surface facing the discharge valve 27. Since the sealing performance can be exerted by the gasket 29, a gas having a pressure higher than the pressure of the suction gas in the suction chamber guided to the valve-closing surface of the suction valve 26 via the gas introduction path 32 can be obtained. The suction valve 26 is efficiently introduced into the valve closing side of the suction valve 26 while maintaining a desired pressure. This gas pressure ensures a quick and smooth opening operation of the intake valve 26 more reliably.
 図10および図11は、本発明の第2実施態様に係る圧縮機の弁板装置における、吐出弁設置状態における透視平面図を示している。本実施態様においては、前述の第1実施態様に比べ、ガス導入経路51の少なくとも一部分が、シリンダヘッド内の吐出室23と吸入室21との間の隔壁52の少なくとも一部に対応する部位を通っている構成とされており、ガス導入経路51の少なくとも一部分が、シリンダヘッド隔壁52が位置する範囲内の位置に納められている。この隔壁52が位置する範囲内の位置に納められるガス導入経路51の通路部分の幅は、隔壁52の幅よりも小さく設定されている。このシリンダヘッド隔壁52部は締結等により固定される部位で面圧が高いので、この隔壁部の面圧を有効に利用してその部位のガス導入経路51のシール性を向上することができる。なお、図示は省略するが、機種によっては、吐出弁に形成されたガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分が、シリンダヘッドの外周壁53の少なくとも一部に対応する部位を通っている構成とすることも可能であり、上記同様に、シリンダヘッドの外周壁53部位の面圧を有効に利用してその部位のガス導入経路のシール性を向上することができる。その他の構成、作用効果は前記第1実施態様に準じるので、図10および図11に第1実施態様における符号と同一の符号を付すことにより説明を省略する。 10 and 11 show perspective plan views of the compressor valve plate device according to the second embodiment of the present invention when the discharge valve is installed. In this embodiment, as compared with the first embodiment described above, at least a part of the gas introduction path 51 has a portion corresponding to at least a part of the partition wall 52 between the discharge chamber 23 and the suction chamber 21 in the cylinder head. At least a part of the gas introduction path 51 is accommodated in a position within the range where the cylinder head partition wall 52 is located. The width of the passage portion of the gas introduction path 51 that is stored in a position within the range where the partition wall 52 is located is set to be smaller than the width of the partition wall 52. Since the cylinder head partition 52 has a high surface pressure at a portion that is fixed by fastening or the like, the surface pressure of the partition can be effectively used to improve the sealing performance of the gas introduction path 51 at that portion. In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, depending on a model, it can also be set as the structure which at least one part of the gas introduction path | route formed in the discharge valve passes through the site | part corresponding to at least one part of the outer peripheral wall 53 of a cylinder head. In the same manner as described above, the surface pressure of the outer peripheral wall 53 of the cylinder head can be effectively used to improve the sealing performance of the gas introduction path at that portion. Since other configurations and operational effects are the same as those of the first embodiment, description thereof will be omitted by assigning the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment to FIGS. 10 and 11.
 図12は、本発明の第3実施態様に係る圧縮機の弁板装置における、ガス導入経路形成部の縦断面を示している。本実施態様においては、ガスケット61にビード62が形成され、該ビード62を利用して、吐出弁27に形成されたガス導入経路通路部分33と共働してガス導入経路通路部分63が形成されている。このようなビード62部分は局部面圧が高いので、その分、シール性を高めることが可能になる。このようなビード62構成を含むガス導入経路のシール部分のシール幅としては、前述の如く0.2mm以上設定されていることが好ましい。このようなビード構造は、ガス導入経路の少なくとも一部分自体の形成に用いることも可能である。また、吐出弁27と対向する面に対して配置される部材の少なくとも一部分に、例えば、上記ガスケット61以外にも、例えば図13に示すようにシリンダへッド隔壁64の下面にビード65を形成しておき、その局部面圧を利用してガスケット66の面圧を局部的に高め、吐出弁27に形成されたガス導入経路通路部分33のシール性を高めることも可能である。さらに、図14に示すように、上記のようなビードについては、ガス導入経路67に対してのみならず、とくに連通孔68の周囲部にビード69を設けることにより、連通孔68を含むガスの経路全体に対して効果的にシール性を高めることが可能になる。 FIG. 12 shows a longitudinal section of a gas introduction path forming portion in the valve plate device of the compressor according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a bead 62 is formed on the gasket 61, and the gas introduction path passage portion 63 is formed by using the bead 62 in cooperation with the gas introduction path passage portion 33 formed on the discharge valve 27. ing. Since such a bead 62 has a high local surface pressure, it is possible to improve the sealing performance accordingly. The seal width of the seal portion of the gas introduction path including such a bead 62 configuration is preferably set to 0.2 mm or more as described above. Such a bead structure can also be used to form at least a portion of the gas introduction path itself. In addition to the gasket 61, for example, a bead 65 is formed on the lower surface of the cylinder head partition wall 64 as shown in FIG. In addition, it is possible to locally increase the surface pressure of the gasket 66 by using the local surface pressure, and to improve the sealing performance of the gas introduction path passage portion 33 formed in the discharge valve 27. Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the beads as described above are not only for the gas introduction path 67, but particularly by providing beads 69 around the communication holes 68, It is possible to effectively improve the sealing performance for the entire path.
 また、シール性に関しては、例えば図15に示すように、吐出弁27に形成されたガス導入経路通路部分33の周囲部に対し、ガスケット71の面圧が低いと、図に矢印で示すようにガス導入経路通路部分33からのガス漏れ72が生じるおそれがある。このような場合、前述のビード以外の構成として、例えば図16に本発明の第4実施態様に係る圧縮機の弁板装置におけるガス導入経路形成部を示すように、ガス導入経路通路部分33が形成された吐出弁27とガスケット71との間に、高分子材料が少なくとも一部分に使用されたシール材73を介在させることにより、ガス導入経路通路部分33に対するシール性を高めることが可能である。また、図示は省略するが、この部位を接着性を有する高分子材料により接合させることも可能である。 Regarding the sealing performance, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, when the surface pressure of the gasket 71 is low with respect to the peripheral portion of the gas introduction path passage portion 33 formed in the discharge valve 27, as indicated by an arrow in the figure. There is a possibility that gas leakage 72 from the gas introduction path passage portion 33 may occur. In such a case, as a configuration other than the above-described bead, for example, as shown in FIG. 16, the gas introduction path passage portion 33 in the valve plate device of the compressor according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention includes By interposing a sealing material 73 in which a polymer material is used at least in part between the formed discharge valve 27 and the gasket 71, it is possible to improve the sealing performance with respect to the gas introduction path passage portion 33. Although not shown in the figure, this part can be joined with a polymer material having adhesiveness.

It is suitable for a compressor or the like.
