Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sealing assembly for use in a reciprocating compressor to seal a refrigerant flow path between a cylinder block and a cylinder head, and a refrigeration appliance in particular a domestic refrigerator, having the sealing assembly.
  • a refrigeration appliance such as a domestic refrigerator typically utilizes a reciprocating hermetic compressor to convey the refrigerant from an evaporator to a condenser.
  • the reciprocating hermetic compressor generally comprises a compression chamber, an intake chamber, and a discharge chamber.
  • the intake chamber is on a downstream side of evaporator.
  • the discharge chamber is on an upstream side of the condenser.
  • the compression chamber is formed within the cylinder block whereas the intake chamber and the discharge chamber are separately formed within the cylinder head.
  • a valve plate (5 ⁇ ) is interposed between the cylinder block and the cylinder head (Figs. 6 and 7).
  • the valve plate (5 ⁇ ) generally comprises an intake port (12 ⁇ ) and a discharge port (13 ⁇ ) (Figs. 6 and 7).
  • the intake port (12 ⁇ ) fluidly connects the intake chamber with the compression chamber upon suction of a piston located in the compression chamber.
  • the discharge port (13 ⁇ ) fluidly connects the compression chamber with the discharge chamber upon compression of the piston.
  • the refrigerant pressure in the vicinity of the valve plate (5 ⁇ ) is relatively high due to the reciprocating movement of the piston.
  • valve plate (5 ⁇ ) and the cylinder parts such as the cylinder block and the cylinder head, must be sufficiently gas-tight to prevent any leakage of the refrigerant. It is common practice to place head gaskets (6 ⁇ ,8 ⁇ ) on both sides of the valve plate (5 ⁇ ), which respectively oppose the cylinder block and the cylinder head (Figs. 8 and 9).
  • US 5,609,476 discloses a reciprocating compressor which includes: a valve plate arranged between a cylinder block and a cylinder head, a first head gasket arranged between the valve plate and the cylinder block and a second head gasket arranged between the valve plate and the cylinder head.
  • Head gaskets (6 ⁇ ,8 ⁇ ) used in reciprocating compressors are typically made of paper. They are cheap and easy to fabricate. However, such paper gaskets (6 ⁇ ,8 ⁇ ) have certain drawbacks. For instance, in case of unexpected high refrigerant pressures, the paper gaskets (6 ⁇ ,8 ⁇ ) are torn off. Consequently, the refrigerant begins to leak and the cooling efficiency gradually decreases. Hence, maintenance becomes inevitable.
  • the strength of a head gasket (6 ⁇ ,8 ⁇ ) can be increased by alternatively manufacturing the same from metal.
  • Metal gaskets are very robust and durable.
  • the surface of a metal gasket must be sufficiently flat to prevent leakage. In practice, a small degree of surface roughness or any warpage of a metal gasket may result in a leakage of the refrigerant.
  • An objective of the present invention is to provide a sealing assembly for a reciprocating compressor, and a refrigeration appliance having the same, which overcomes the aforementioned problems, and enables effective sealing of the refrigerant flow path between the cylinder block and the cylinder head.
  • a first groove is provided along one or more closed-contours on a rear surface of the valve plate, for receiving a base portion of a first sealing member such that an upper portion thereof projects out of the first groove
  • a second groove is provided along one or more closed-contours on a front surface of the valve plate, for receiving a base portion of a second sealing member such that an upper portion thereof projects out of the second groove
  • the first sealing member is made from a resilient material and is provided in form of one or more closed-loops which respectively match the first groove along said one or more closed-contours on the rear surface of the valve plate
  • the second sealing member is made from a resilient material and is provided in form of one or more closed-loops which respectively match the second groove along said one or more closed-contours on the front surface of the valve plate.
  • the upper portions of the first and the second sealing members which respectively project out of the first and the second grooves are firmly pressed onto the respective cylinder parts.
  • any surface irregularities of the valve plate and the cylinder parts are tolerated by the resilient sealing members.
  • the first and the second sealing members are tightly secured to their positions designated by said one or more contours against any lateral force exerted by the pressurized refrigerant. Thereby, a gas-tight sealing is achieved between the valve plate and the respective cylinder parts.
  • each of the first and the second grooves has a semi-circular cross-section.
  • each of the first and the second sealing members has a corresponding circular cross-section.
  • each of the first and the second grooves is provided with a circular captive cross-section.
  • each of the first and the second sealing members has a corresponding circular cross-section.
  • the sealing members are made of silicone material suitable for compression fitting.
