Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rotary compressor.
- Compressor motors are usually controlled by an inverter and a microcomputer. If the number of rotations of the motor is lowered, the refrigeration cycle apparatus using the compressor can be operated with a sufficiently lower capacity than the rating.
- Patent Documents 1 and 2 provide a technique for operating a refrigeration cycle apparatus with a low capacity by a method different from inverter control.
- FIG. 8 is a partial cross-sectional configuration diagram of the compressor described in Patent Document 1.
- the compressor 601 includes a partition vane 615, a partition vane spring 616, a discharge port 617, a discharge pipe 618, and an opening 619.
- the partition vane 615 partitions the inside of the cylinder 608 into a low pressure chamber and a high pressure chamber.
- the opening 619 opens at an intermediate portion of the cylinder 608 and communicates with an opening / closing mechanism 620 provided at the opening 619.
- the opening / closing mechanism 620 includes a plunger 621 and a plunger spring 622.
- the compressor 601 is connected to a four-way valve 625 through a discharge pipe 618, and further, a use side heat exchanger 626, a decompressor 627, a heat source side heat exchanger 628, an accumulator 611, and a suction pipe 629. Further, the middle of the discharge pipe 618 and the four-way valve 625 and the high-pressure introduction pipe 623 are connected via an electromagnetic valve 630.
- the piston 607 rotates in the direction of arrow A.
- FIG. 9 is a longitudinal sectional view of the compressor described in Patent Document 2.
- a first discharge port 714 is formed in the cylinder 710
- a second discharge port 723 is formed in the main bearing 720 so as to communicate with the first discharge port 714 and discharge the compressed gas to the casing 701, and the compressed refrigerant
- a bypass hole 722 including a bypass valve 780 is formed between the first discharge port 714 and the second discharge port 723.
- one method for increasing the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle apparatus is to increase the efficiency of the compressor.
- the efficiency of the compressor is highly dependent on the efficiency of the motor used. Many motors exhibit the highest efficiency at a rotational speed in the vicinity of a rated rotational speed (for example, 60 Hz). Therefore, if the motor is driven at a low rotational speed (for example, 30 Hz) using an inverter or the like, improvement in the efficiency of the compressor cannot be expected.
- the refrigeration cycle apparatus is operated at a capacity lower than the rated capacity (for example, 30% or less of the rated capacity)
- the vibration due to torque fluctuation increases as the rotational speed of the rotary compressor decreases, resulting in lower rotation.
- the rotary compressor cannot be operated with a number (for example, 20 Hz or less). As a result, the rotary compressor becomes an intermittent operation in which operation and stop are repeated, and the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle apparatus is greatly reduced.
- Patent Document 1 when the electromagnetic valve 630 is opened, since the high-pressure gas is guided to the high-pressure introduction pipe 623, the plunger 621 overcomes the plunger spring 622 and opens the cylinder 608. The part 619 is closed. However, the volume of the opening 619 becomes a dead volume, and the efficiency of the compressor 601 is reduced.
- Patent Document 2 since the first discharge port 714 is formed in the cylinder 710, if the dead volume of the discharge port is to be reduced, the strength of the cylinder 710 is decreased, and deformation due to pressure or temperature during operation is caused. Caused by galling and abnormal wear between parts. Further, when the strength of the cylinder 710 is improved, the dead volume of the discharge port is increased and the efficiency of the compressor is lowered. In addition, in order to configure the first discharge valve that prevents the reverse flow of the refrigerant from the first discharge port 714 to the compression chamber, it is necessary to secure the height of the cylinder 710 to some extent. When a density refrigerant such as R410A or carbon dioxide is used, the efficiency of the compressor is reduced due to an increase in mechanical loss due to an increase in the load of the shaft and vane and an increase in leakage loss during compression.
- a density refrigerant such as R410A or carbon dioxide

- a mechanism and a sealed container that houses the motor; a suction path that guides the working fluid to be compressed to the suction chamber; a discharge port that is provided in the frame and allows the compressed working fluid to flow out of the working chamber; and
- the rotary compressor can be operated with a relatively small suction volume by returning the working fluid from the working chamber to the suction path using the communication passage.
- the rotary compressor can be operated with a relatively large suction volume, that is, a normal suction volume.
- the control mechanism and the inverter are controlled so as to compensate for the decrease in the suction volume by the increase in the rotation speed of the motor, the suction volume is reduced instead of driving the motor at a low rotation speed. Therefore, it is possible to provide a rotary compressor that can exhibit high efficiency over a high capacity and a low capacity of the refrigeration cycle apparatus.
- the present invention since there is no opening to the cylinder, it is possible to prevent a reduction in the efficiency of the compressor due to dead volume. In addition, the strength of the cylinder can be ensured, and galling and abnormal wear between parts due to deformation due to pressure and temperature during operation can be prevented. Further, since the height of the cylinder can be reduced, particularly when the refrigerant as the working fluid is a high density refrigerant such as R410A carbon dioxide, R32, R407C, HFO-1234yf or R134a, the load on the shaft or vane Since an increase in mechanical loss due to increase and an increase in leakage loss during compression can be prevented, a rotary compressor capable of exhibiting high efficiency can be provided.
- the refrigerant as the working fluid is a high density refrigerant such as R410A carbon dioxide, R32, R407C, HFO-1234yf or R134a

As a result, the refrigeration cycle apparatus can be operated with higher efficiency by using the inverter 42 that drives the motor 2 at an arbitrary rotational speed.
- the open / close valve 32 is opened and closed in the rotary compressor 100 of the present embodiment.
- the capacity of operation for a total of 10 seconds can be made 50%.
- the motor 2 is driven by the inverter 42 at an arbitrary rotation speed, the motor 2 is operated at a rotation speed of 50% (for example, 30 Hz) with respect to the rated rotation speed (for example, 60 Hz). %.
- the refrigeration cycle apparatus can be operated with higher efficiency by using the capacity variable technology by switching the suction volume.

- a variable capacity technique by switching the suction volume is used.
- an inverter 42 that drives the motor 2 at an arbitrary rotational speed is provided.
- the rotary compressor 200 of the present embodiment includes a second compression mechanism 33 in addition to the compression mechanism 3 described in the first embodiment.
- the elements of the compression mechanism 3 described in the first embodiment are marked with “first”.
- the cylinder 5 is denoted as the first cylinder 5, the piston 8 as the first piston 8, the vane 9 as the first vane 9, the working chamber 25 as the first working chamber 25, and the compression mechanism 3 as the first compression mechanism 3.
- the second compression mechanism 33 includes a second cylinder 55, a second piston 58, a second vane 59, and a second spring 60.
- the second cylinder 55 is arranged concentrically with the first cylinder 5. Inside the second cylinder 55, a second piston 58 fitted to the second eccentric portion 4b of the shaft 4 is disposed.

- a second vane groove (not shown) is formed in the second cylinder 55.
- a second vane 59 having a tip that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the second piston 58 is accommodated in the second vane groove.
- the second spring 60 is disposed in the second vane groove.
- the second spring 60 pushes the second vane 59 toward the second piston 58.

- the refrigerant to be compressed is guided to the second working chamber 75 (second suction chamber) through the second suction path 15.
- a second discharge port 79 is formed in the upper frame 6. Accordingly, a discharge valve 35c is provided at the second discharge port 79 through which the compressed refrigerant is guided from the second working chamber 75 (second compression-discharge chamber) to the inside of the sealed container 1. Thereby, the refrigerant does not flow back from the inside of the sealed container 1 to the second working chamber 75.
- the refrigerant to be compressed is guided to the first working chamber 25 (suction chamber) through the first suction path 14.
- the compressed refrigerant flows out from the first discharge port 29 formed in the lower frame 7 from the first working chamber 25 (compression-discharge chamber).
- an internal space 28 that is partitioned from the inside of the sealed container 1 and the first working chamber 25 and the second working chamber 75, and the first discharge port 29.
- a first passage 34 a is formed between the internal space 28 and the internal space 28, and the internal space 28 and the first discharge port 29 communicate with each other.

- the first working chamber 25 is preferably positioned vertically downward with respect to the second working chamber 75. This is because, when operating at low capacity, only the suction refrigerant passes through the first working chamber 25, so that the cylinder temperature becomes low. Further, from the viewpoint of temperature stratification, it is possible to suppress the heat reception from the discharged refrigerant to the sucked refrigerant when the lower temperature cylinder is located below.
- the lower frame 7 is covered with a muffler 23 having a space that can receive the refrigerant compressed by the first compression mechanism 3.
- the flow path 26 passes through the lower frame 7, the first cylinder 5, the middle plate 53, the second cylinder 55, and the upper frame 6. Thereby, the refrigerant moves from the space of the muffler 23 to the inside of the sealed container 1.

That is, the motor 2, the second compression mechanism 33, and the first compression mechanism 3 are arranged in this order along the axial direction of the shaft 4. Since the second compression mechanism 33 has a constant suction volume, it requires a larger torque than the first compression mechanism 3 that can be operated with a substantially zero suction volume. Therefore, when the second compression mechanism 33 is disposed on the side closer to the motor 2, the load applied to the shaft 4 when the first compressor 3 is operated at a substantially zero suction volume is reduced, and thus the upper frame is reduced. 6 and the lower frame 7 can reduce mechanical loss.

If it is determined in step 2 that the process of increasing the rotational speed is being performed, the process proceeds to step 7 to determine whether the current rotational speed is 70 Hz or higher. If the current rotation speed is 70 Hz or more, it is determined in step 8 whether the on-off valve 32 is open.

Description
圧縮機601には、吐出管618を介して四方弁625、さらに、利用側熱交換器626、減圧器627、熱源側熱交換器628、アキュームレータ611、吸入管629が接続されている。また、吐出管618と四方弁625の中間と、高圧導入管623とが、電磁弁630を介して接続されている。ピストン607は矢印Aの方向に回転している。
一方、バイパスバルブ780に高圧を導入して、バイパス孔722を開放している場合は、吸入口712からシリンダ710内に吸入された冷媒は、第1吐出口714及びバイパス孔722を通って、吸入口712へ戻されるので、ケーシング701に冷媒は吐出されない。これにより、より低い能力での運転が可能となる。
さらに、本発明によれば、シリンダへの開口部がないので、デッドボリュームによる圧縮機の効率低下を防ぐことができる。また、シリンダの強度を確保して、運転時の圧力や温度による変形に起因する、部品同士のカジリや異常摩耗を防ぐことができる。また、シリンダの高さを低くすることができるので、特に作動流体としての冷媒を、高密度冷媒、たとえばR410A二酸化炭素、R32、R407C、HFO-1234yf或いはR134aとした場合に、シャフトやベーンの負荷増大による機械損失の増加や、圧縮途中の漏れ損失の増加を防ぐことができるので、高い効率を発揮できるロータリ圧縮機を提供できる。

図1に示すように、本実施形態のロータリ圧縮機100は、圧縮機本体40、アキュームレータ12、吐出経路11、吸入経路14、連絡通路16、制御機構30、インバータ42及び制御部44を備えている。
吐出経路11は、密閉容器1の上部を貫通しているとともに、密閉容器1の内部で開口している。吐出経路11は、圧縮された作動流体(典型的には冷媒)を圧縮機本体40の外部に導く。吸入経路14は、圧縮機構3に接続された一端と、アキュームレータ12に接続された他端とを有し、密閉容器1の胴部を貫通している。
吸入経路14は、圧縮するべき冷媒をアキュームレータ12から圧縮機構3の作動室25に導く。連絡通路16は、吸入経路14とは異なる位置で圧縮機構3に接続された一端と、アキュームレータ12に接続された他端とを有し、密閉容器1の胴部を貫通している。
連絡通路16は、圧縮機構3の作動室25に一旦吸入された冷媒を圧縮前に吸入経路14へと戻す。
なお、ベーン9は、ピストン8に一体化されていてもよい。すなわち、ピストン8及びベーン9をスイングピストンで構成しても、ベーン9とピストン8をジョイントさせてもよい。
制御部44は、インバータ42を制御してモータ2の回転数、すなわち、ロータリ圧縮機100の回転数を調節する。制御部44として、A/D変換回路、入出力回路、演算回路、記憶装置等を含むDSP(Digital Signal Processor)を使用できる。
開閉弁32を開く場合、作動室25の容積の減少に伴って第1の逆止弁35aが開き、冷媒が作動室25の外に吐出される。吐出された冷媒は、連絡通路16を通って吸入経路14へと戻される。そのため、作動室25の圧力は上昇しない。この時、冷媒は内部空間28から密閉容器1の内部に吐出されることはないので、ロータリ圧縮機100は実質ゼロの吸入容積で運転される。
開閉弁32を閉じる場合、冷媒は、連絡通路16を通って作動室25から吸入経路14へと戻ることができない。そのため、吸入行程が終了したら直ちに圧縮行程が始まる。このとき、第1の逆止弁35aによって、内部空間28から作動室25への冷媒の逆流が防止されるため、内部空間28の圧力は上昇する。さらに、内部空間28の圧力が密閉容器1の内部の圧力よりも上昇したとき、第2の逆止弁35bが開いて、冷媒が密閉容器1の内部に吐出される。このとき、ロータリ圧縮機100は通常の吸入容積で運転される。
シリンダ5で圧縮された冷媒の一部をシリンダ5の外部にバイパスして作動室25の吸入容積を変化させる、いわゆる「吸入容積切り替えによる能力可変技術」を用いる。その場合、本実施形態のロータリ圧縮機100においては、開閉弁32を開閉する。例えば、開閉弁32を3秒間開けて、7秒間閉めることによって、合計10秒間の運転による能力は70%にすることができる。
このように、開閉弁32の開閉動作を繰り返し、開閉動作における開時間と閉時間との割合を変更することで冷凍サイクル装置の能力を変更することができる。すなわち、開閉弁32の開閉動作の繰り返しにおいて、開時間の割合を多くすることで、冷凍サイクル装置の能力を低下させることができる。
一方、インバータ42によって、任意の回転数でモータ2を駆動する場合、定格回転数(例えば60Hz)に対して、モータ2の回転数を70%(例えば42Hz)で運転することによって、能力を70%にすることができる。多くのモータ2は、定格回転数(例えば60Hz)の近傍の回転数で最も高い効率を発揮するように設計されているが、70%程度の回転数(例えば42Hz)で運転した場合であれば高い効率を維持できる。結果、モータ2を任意の回転数で駆動するインバータ42を用いた方が、冷凍サイクル装置を高い効率で運転することができる。
いわゆる「吸入容積切り替えによる能力可変技術」を用いた場合、本実施形態のロータリ圧縮機100においては、開閉弁32を開閉する。例えば、開閉弁32を5秒間開けて、5秒間閉めることによって、合計10秒間の運転による能力は50%にすることができる。
一方、インバータ42によって、任意の回転数でモータ2を駆動する場合、定格回転数(例えば60Hz)に対して、モータ2の回転数を50%(例えば30Hz)で運転することによって、能力を50%にすることができる。しなしながら、多くのモータ2は、定格回転数(例えば60Hz)の近傍の回転数で最も高い効率を発揮するように設計されているが、50%程度の回転数(例えば30Hz)で運転した場合は、効率は大きく低下する。結果、吸入容積切り替えによる能力可変技術を用いた方が、冷凍サイクル装置を高い効率で運転することができる。
よって、吸入容積切り替えによる能力可変技術と、モータ2を任意の回転数で駆動するインバータ42と、の関係については、冷凍サイクル装置を高い効率で運転できる方を選択することで、冷凍サイクル装置をより高い効率で運転することができる。
図2に示すように、本実施形態のロータリ圧縮機200は、第1実施形態で説明した圧縮機構3に加えて、第2圧縮機構33を備えている。以下、第1実施形態で説明した圧縮機構3の要素に「第1」を付して標記する。例えば、シリンダ5を第1シリンダ5、ピストン8を第1ピストン8、ベーン9を第1ベーン9、作動室25を第1作動室25、圧縮機構3を第1圧縮機構3と標記する。
ここで、第1作動室25を第2作動室75に対して鉛直下方向に位置させることが好ましい。これは、低能力運転する場合、第1作動室25は吸入冷媒のみが通過するので、シリンダ温度が低くなるからである。また、温度成層の観点から温度の低いシリンダが下方にある方が、吐出冷媒から吸入冷媒への受熱を抑制することができるからである。
第1偏心部4aの突出方向は、第2偏心部4bの突出方向と180度ずれている。つまり、第1ピストン8の位相が第2ピストン58の位相とシャフト4の回転角度で180度ずれている。
第1圧縮機構3に対して、第1吸入経路14を通じて冷媒が供給される。第2圧縮機構33に対して、第2吸入経路15を通じて冷媒が供給される。冷媒は、第1圧縮機構3又は第2圧縮機構33で圧縮され、密閉容器1の内部に吐出される。第1吸入経路14及び第2吸入経路15は、それぞれ、アキュームレータ12に接続されている。なお、アキュームレータ12の内部又は外部において、吸入経路14及び15の一方が他方から分岐していてもよい。
高容積モードでモータ2の回転数を第1回転数(例えば30Hz)まで下げたとしても冷媒の流量が過剰である場合に、制御部44は、吸入容積を減らすための開閉弁32に関する処理とモータ2の回転数を上げるためのインバータ42に関する処理とを実行してもよい。つまり、制御部44は、モータ2の回転数を実際に第1回転数まで下げる前にモード切り替えの要否を判断する。同様に、低容積モードでモータ2の回転数を第2回転数(例えば70Hz)まで上げたとしても冷媒の流量が足りない場合に、制御部44は、吸入容積を増やすための開閉弁32に関する処理とモータ2の回転数を下げるためのインバータ42に関する処理とを実行してもよい。つまり、制御部44は、モータ2の回転数を実際に第2回転数まで上げる前にモード切り替えの要否を判断する。このような制御の例について、図3Bを参照して説明する。
図6に示すように、本実施形態のロータリ圧縮機300は、第1実施形態のロータリ圧縮機100のものと異なる構造の制御機構30を有している。その他の構成は、第1実施形態で説明した通りである。
他方、高容積モードでは、高圧経路92が連絡通路16の上流部分16hに連通するように三方弁90を制御する。すると、連絡通路16を通って作動室25から吸入経路14へと戻ることがないので、オイル溜り22のオイルの圧力が内部空間28に導入される。冷媒は、そのため、吸入行程が終了したら直ちに圧縮行程が始まる。このとき、圧縮された冷媒が第1の通路34aを通って、内部空間28に吐出される。さらに、内部空間28の圧力が密閉容器1の内部の圧力よりも上昇したとき、第2の逆止弁35bが開いて、冷媒が密閉容器1の内部に吐出される。このとき、ロータリ圧縮機300は通常の吸入容積で運転される。
図7に示すように、ロータリ圧縮機100を使用して冷凍サイクル装置500を構築できる。冷凍サイクル装置500は、ロータリ圧縮機100、放熱器502、膨張機構504及び蒸発器506を備えている。これらの機器は、冷媒管によって上記の順番で接続されて冷媒回路を形成する。放熱器502は、例えば空気-冷媒熱交換器で構成されており、ロータリ圧縮機100で圧縮された冷媒を冷却する。膨張機構504は、例えば膨張弁で構成されており、放熱器502で冷却された冷媒を膨張させる。蒸発器506は、例えば空気-冷媒熱交換器で構成されており、膨張機構504で膨張した冷媒を加熱する。第1実施形態のロータリ圧縮機100に代えて、第2及び第3実施形態のロータリ圧縮機200,300を使用してもよい。
