Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a cylinder head for a reciprocating compressor, and in particular to a cylinder head for a reciprocating compressor which is capable of easily combining construction parts, precisely adjusting an assembly air gap, minimizing leakage of gas compressed in a cylinder and sufficiently cooling heat generated in a compression process.

BACKGROUND ART

[0002] Generally, a compressor is for compressing a fluid. The compressor can be divided into a rotation compressor, a reciprocating compressor and a scroll compressor, etc. according to fluid compression types. The compressor consists of a sealed container; a motor part installed inside the sealed container and generating a driving force; and a compression part receiving the driving force of the motor part and compressing gas.

[0003] In the compressor, when power is applied, the motor is operated and generates a driving force, the driving force is transmitted to the compression part, and accordingly the compression part sucks, compresses and discharges gas.

[0004] FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view illustrating the compression part of the conventional compressor. As depicted in FIG. 1, the compression part of the compressor includes a frame 10 having a through hole 11; a cylinder 20 having an internal compression space 21 and combined with the through hole 11 of the frame 10; a piston 30 having a cylindrical shape, inserted into the compression space 21 and connected to the motor part; a discharge cover 40 for covering the compression space 21 of the cylinder 20; a discharge valve 50 inserted into the discharge cover 40 and opening/closing the compression space 21 of the cylinder 20 by a pressure difference; and a valve spring 51 inserted into the discharge cover 40 and supporting the discharge valve 50.

[0005] The discharge cover 40 and the cylinder 20 are combined with the frame 10 by plural bolts 60.

[0006] The frame 10 includes a body part 12 having a certain shape; a plate portion 13 extended from a certain side of the body part 12 so as to have a certain size; a through hole 11 formed at the body part 12; and plural screw holes 14 formed at the plate portion 13.

[0007] The cylinder 20 includes a cylinder body 22 having an outer diameter corresponded to that of the through hole 11 of the frame 10 and a certain length; a flange portion 23 extended from the end of the cylinder body 22 so as to be the same plane as that of the cylinder body 22 and having a certain thickness and width; a compression space 21 formed inside the cylinder body 22 so as to have a certain inner diameter; and plural combining holes 24 formed at the flange portion 23.

[0008] The discharge cover 40 includes a plenum portion 41 having a cap shape to have a certain inner space; a flange portion 42 curved-extended from the plenum portion 41 so as to have a certain width; a discharge hole 43 formed at a certain side of the plenum portion 41; and plural combining holes 44 formed at the flange portion 42.

[0009] A discharge pipe (not shown) for discharging gas is combined with the discharge hole 43 of the discharge cover 40.

[0010] First, the body 22 of the cylinder 20 is inserted into the through hole 11 of the frame 10, the flange portion 23 of the cylinder 20 contacts to a certain surface of the plate portion 13 of the frame 10, and accordingly the cylinder 20 is combined with the frame 10.

[0011] And, when the discharge valve 50 and the valve spring 51 are inserted into the inner space of the plenum portion 41 of the discharge cover 40, to make the discharge cover 40 cover the compression space 21 of the cylinder 20, the flange portion 42 of the discharge cover 40 is contacted to the flange portion 23 of the cylinder 20.

[0012] Herein, the discharge valve 50 placed inside the discharge cover 40 blocks the compression space 21 of the cylinder 20 by being elastically supported by the valve spring 51.

[0013] And, the combining hole 24 of the cylinder 20 and the combining hole 44 of the discharge cover 40 respectively coincide with the screw hole 14 of the frame 10, the bolt 60 is respectively fastened to the coincided screw hole 14 and the combining holes 24, 44, and accordingly the cylinder 20 and the discharge cover 40 are fixedly combined with the frame 10.

[0014] The operation of the compression part of the conventional compressor will be described.

[0015] First, when the driving force of the motor part is transmitted to the piston 30, the piston 30 performs a linear reciprocating motion in the compression space 21 of the cylinder 20.

[0016] According to the linear reciprocating motion of the piston 30, the discharge valve 50 sucks, compresses and discharges gas by opening/closing the compression space 21 of the cylinder 20.

[0017] The high temperature-high pressure gas discharged from the compression space 21 of the cylinder 20 passes the inner space of the plenum portion 41 of the discharge cover 50 and is discharged to the outside through the discharge hole 43 and the discharge pipe combined with the discharge hole 43.

[0018] However, in the compression part of the conventional compressor, in combining of the cylinder 20 and the discharge cover 40 with the frame 10, because the combining hole 24 of the cylinder 20 and the combining hole 44 of the discharge cover 40 are respectively combined with the screw hole 14 of the frame 10 by the bolts 60, the assembly process of those parts are intricate. In addition, it is difficult to coincide the center of the compression space 21 of the cylinder 20 with the inner space center of the plenum portion 41 of the discharge cover 40.

[0019] And, due to a fabrication error in surface-processing of the flange portion 41 of the discharge cover 40 and the flange portion 23 of the cylinder 20, a gap may occur between the flange portion 41 of the discharge cover 40 and the flange portion 23 of the cylinder 20, in that case, the high temperature-high pressure gas discharged from the compression space 21 of the cylinder 20 may leak through the gap between the flange portion 41 of the discharge cover 40 and the flange portion 23 of the cylinder 20.

[0020] And, while compressing and discharging the gas in the compression space 21 of the cylinder 20, because high temperature heat generated at the discharge side of the cylinder 20 can not be sufficiently cooled, construction parts may be deformed.

A discharge hole 223 for discharging gas is formed at a certain side of the plenum portion 221 of the discharge cover 220. The valve body 250 inserted into the plenum portion 221 includes a discharge valve 251 for opening/closing the compression space 211 of the cylinder 210 and a valve spring 252 for elastically supporting the discharge valve 251.

[0047] It is preferable for the cylinder 210 and the discharge cover 220 to be fixedly combined with each other by welding the flange portion 222 and the frame 200.

[0048] A piston 30 connected to the motor part is inserted into the compression space 211 of the cylinder 210.

[0049] In addition, as depicted in FIG. 4, yet another embodiment of the cylinder head of the compressor in accordance with the present invention includes a frame 300 having a plate portion 302 extended from a body 301 so as to have a certain size, a through hole 303 formed at the body 301 and an insertion groove 304 formed at a certain surface of the body 301 so as to be a concentric circle of the through hole 303; a cylinder 310 having a flange portion 313 formed at a certain end of a cylinder body 312 having an internal compression space 311, a ring-shaped protrusion 314 formed at a certain side of the cylinder body 312 so as to have a certain width and a height, wherein the cylinder body 312 and the flange portion 313 respectively combine with the through hole 303 and the insertion groove 304 of the frame 300; a discharge cover 320 including a cap-shaped plenum portion 321 having an inner diameter corresponded to an outer diameter of the ring-shaped protrusion 314, a flange portion 322 curved-extended from the end of the plenum portion 321 so as to have a certain size, wherein the inner diameter of the flange portion 322 is inserted into the ring-shaped protrusion 314 and the flange portion 322 is contacted to a step surface of the frame insertion groove 304, namely, a certain side of the frame body 301; plural bolts 330 for fastening the flange portion 322 of the discharge cover 320 with the body 301 of the frame 300; and a valve body 350 inserted into the plenum portion 321 of the discharge cover 320 and opening/closing the compression space 311 of the cylinder 310.

[0050] The plate portion 302 of the frame 300 is formed at a certain side of the frame body 301 so as to have the same plane, the insertion groove 304 has an inner diameter and a depth greater than those of the through hole 303 so as to be a concentric circle of the through hole 303 of the body 301.

[0051] The inner circumference of the ring-shaped protrusion 314 of the cylinder 310 has the same plane as the inner circumference of the compression space 311.

The sealing member 340 has a certain thickness and a ring shape same as the shape of the cylinder flange portion 313, and it is preferable for the sealing member 340 to be made of elastic materials.

[0055] Because an added thickness of the flange portion 313 and the sealing member 340 is greater than a depth of the insertion groove 304, the sealing member is pressed by fastening of the bolt 330, and accordingly sealing is performed.

[0056] A reinforcing rib 305 is formed at the internal surface at which the body 301 of the frame 300 meets the flange portion 302 to reinforce strength by fastening of the bolt 330.

[0057] In FIG. 4, unexplained reference numeral 351 is a discharge valve, and 352 is a valve spring.

[0058] As depicted in FIG. 5, in a modified example of the sealing structure, because a thickness t1 of the flange portion 313 of the cylinder 310 is greater than a depth t2 of the insertion groove 304 of the frame 300, when the discharge cover 320 is combined with the frame 300 by the bolt 330, the flange portion 322 of the discharge cover 320 is elastically deformed.

[0059] Because the flange portion 322 of the discharge cover 320 is combined as elastically deformed, sealing is performed between the flange portion 322 and the frame 300 as well as between the flange portion 322 of the discharge cover 320 and the flange portion 313 of the cylinder 310. Accordingly, it is possible not to use the sealing member.

[0060] It is preferable for the flange portion 322 of the discharge cover 320 to have a thickness t3 in the range of 2 mm˜4 mm.

[0061] The discharge cover 320 is made of steel. And, when the thickness t3 of the flange portion 322 is in the range of 2 mm˜4 mm and the flange portion 322 is combined with the frame 300 by the bolt 330, the flange portion 32 is elastically deformed without causing deformation of the frame 300, and accordingly it can perform a sealing function.

[0062] As depicted in FIG. 6, as a modified example of the frame 300, the plate portion 302 having a certain size is formed at a certain side of the body 301, the through hole 303 is formed at the body 301, and the ring-shaped protrusion 306 having a certain width and a height is formed at a certain side of the body 301.

[0063] The plate portion 302 of the frame 300 has the same plane as the certain side of the body 301, the ring-shaped protrusion 306 is formed at a certain side of the body 301 on which the plate portion 302 is formed, the insertion groove 304 having a certain diameter and a depth is formed by the ring-shaped protrusion portion 306, and the inner diameter of the insertion groove 304 is a concentric circle of the through hole 303.

[0064] And, a reinforcing rib 305 for reinforcing strength is formed at a portion at which the body 301 meets the plate portion 302 of the frame 300.

[0065] And, combining the cylinder 310 with the discharge cover 320 by the bolt 330 is the same as the above-described embodiment. In more detail, the body 312 and the flange portion 313 of the cylinder 310 are respectively inserted into the through hole 303 and the insertion groove 304 of the frame 300, and accordingly the cylinder 310 is combined with the frame 300.

[0066] And, the inner diameter of the plenum portion 321 of the discharge cover 320 is inserted into the protrusion 314 of the cylinder 310, the flange portion 322 is contacted to the upper surface of the protrusion 306 of the frame 300, and the flange portion 322 of the discharge cover 320 is combined with the protrusion 306 of the frame 300 by the plural bolts 330.

[0067] Hereinafter, advantages of the cylinder head for the reciprocating compressor in accordance with the present invention will be described. First, the driving force of the motor part is transmitted to the piston 30, the piston 30 performs a linear reciprocating motion in the compression space 111, 211, 311 of the cylinder, simultaneously the valve body 150, 250, 350 opens/closes the compression space 111, 211, 311, and accordingly gas is sucked, compressed and discharged.

[0072] In addition, because the inner circumference of the plenum portion 121 of the discharge cover 120 contacts to the outer circumference of the protrusion 114 of the cylinder 110 and simultaneously the flange portion 113 of the cylinder 110 contacts to the flange portion 122 of the discharge cover 120, leakage of the high temperature-high pressure gas discharged from the compression space 111 of the cylinder 110 can be minimized.

[0073] In the another embodiment of the present invention, the inner diameter of the insertion groove 204 of the frame 200 is the same as the outer diameter of the flange portion 222 of the discharge cover 220, the through hole 203 of the frame 200 is the concentric circle of the inner diameter of the insertion groove 204, and the outer diameter of the flange portion 222 of the discharge cover 220 is the concentric circle of the inner diameter of the internal space of the plenum portion 221. When the cylinder 210 is inserted into the through hole 203 of the frame 200, the compression space 211 of the cylinder 210 coincides with the internal space of the plenum portion 221 of the discharge cover 220, and accordingly it is possible to improve an assembly accuracy and facilitate an assembly.

[0074] In addition, the flange portion 213 of the cylinder 210 contacts to the flange portion 222 of the discharge cover 220, the outer circumference of the flange portion 222 contacts to the inner circumference of the insertion groove 204 of the frame 200, it is possible to minimize leakage of high temperature-high pressure gas discharged from the compression space 211 of the cylinder 210 to the outside.

[0075] In addition, an oil flow channel (F) is formed between the outer circumference of the flange portion 213 of the cylinder 210, the internal surface of the insertion groove 204 and the flange portion 222 of the discharge cover 220, and accordingly heat generated at the discharge side of the cylinder 210 can be cooled by oil flowing in the oil flow channel (F).

[0076] In the yet another embodiment of the present invention, the protrusion 314 of the cylinder 310 is the concentric circle of the compressions space 311 of the cylinder 310, when the cylinder 310 is inserted into the through hole 303 of the frame 300, the inner diameter of the plenum portion 321 of the discharge cover 320 is inserted into the protrusion 314 of the cylinder 310, the compression space 311 of the cylinder 310 coincides with the internal space of the plenum portion 321 of the discharge cover 320, and accordingly it is possible to improve an assembly accuracy and facilitate an assembly.

[0077] In addition, the inner circumference of the plenum portion 321 of the discharge cover 320 contacts to the outer circumference of the protrusion 314 of the cylinder 310, the flange portion 313 of the cylinder 310 contacts to the flange portion 322 of the discharge cover 320, and accordingly it is possible to minimize leakage of high temperature-high pressure gas discharged from the compression space 211 of the cylinder 210 to the outside.

[0078] An oil flow channel (F) is formed between the outer circumference of the flange portion 313 of the cylinder 310, the internal surface of the insertion groove 304 of the frame 300 and the flange portion 322 of the discharge cover 320, heat generated at the discharge side of the compression space 311 of the cylinder 310 can be cooled by oil flowing in the oil flow channel (F).

[0079] And, when the sealing member 340 is inserted between the flange portion 322 of the discharge cover 320 and the flange portion 313 of the cylinder 310, it is possible to minimize leakage of gas and oil.

[0080] In addition, when the flange portion 322 of the discharge cover 320 performs the sealing function by being elastically deformed, contact force is strengthened, and accordingly it is possible to minimize leakage of gas and oil.
