Abstract
Provided is a dual-mode compressor. The dual-mode compressor includes a first scroll plate (31), a second scroll plate (32), and an impeller (33). The first scroll plate (31) and the second scroll plate (32) define a scroll compression working cavity (3a), and the impeller (33) defines a centrifugal compression flow channel (33d). The impeller (33) and the second scroll plate (32) are fixed relative to each other and are arranged coaxially, and the inlet of the centrifugal compression flow channels (33d) is communicated with the outlet of the scroll compression working cavity (3a). Under a larger flow and high compression ratio, the dual-mode compressor can work in the scroll-centrifugal compression mode, so that working medium leaving the scroll compression working cavity (3a) can enter the centrifugal compression flow channel (33d) and then flow out of the dual-mode compressor, thereby solving the problem of low efficiency of a scroll compressor at high compression ratio and the inability of centrifugal compressors to compress gas-liquid mixed working medium. Alternatively, under a low flow condition, the dual-mode compressor can work in the scroll compression mode, so that working medium leaving the scroll compression working cavity (3a) can directly flow out of the dual-mode compressor, thereby solving the problem of low efficiency and instability of a centrifugal compressor at a low flow condition.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to the field of compressors, in particular to a dual-mode compressor.


BACKGROUND

There are mainly two types of compressors used for pressurizing or transporting fluid working medium, namely, displacement compressor and dynamic compressor. For the displacement compressor, the pressure of the working medium is increased by compressing it via changing the volume of a working cavity. For the dynamic compressor, the pressure of the working medium is increased by working on it via rotating blades.


The displacement compressor has the advantages of high compression efficiency, wide flow range, the ability to compress gas-liquid mixed working medium, and the like. However, when working under high compression ratio, the working medium is prone to leak from gaps in structures forming a working cavity due to the large pressure difference between the outlet and inlet of the working cavity, resulting in the reduction of compression efficiency. In addition, the displacement compressor has large flow loss and low efficiency at large flow condition.


The dynamic compressor has the advantages of high efficiency and the like under high compression ratio and large flow. However, it is not suitable for compressing gas-liquid mixed working medium due to the damage of rotating blades caused by droplets. In addition, blade channels of the dynamic compressor are prone to cause flow separation under low flow condition, resulting in unstable operation.

Specifically, the end surface facing the second scroll plate 32, of the first scroll plate 31 may be provided with first scroll wrap 31a, which may spirally and continuously extend around the rotation axis of the first scroll plate 31. The first scroll plate 31 may be provided with four first transmission holes 31b, which may be arranged outside the first scroll wrap 31a and uniformly along the circumferential direction of the first scroll plate 31. The first scroll plate 31 may be coaxially arranged with and fixed to the rotating shaft 21, so that the first scroll plate 31 can rotate integrally with the rotating shaft 21. The central axis of the first scroll plate 31 is coincident with the rotation axis of the first scroll plate 31.


The end surface facing the first scroll plate 31, of the second scroll plate 32 may be provided with second scroll wrap 32a, which may spirally and continuously extend around the rotation axis of the second scroll plate 32. Referring to FIG. 3, the second scroll wrap 32a may be nested with the first scroll wrap 31a to define a scroll compression working cavity 3a in a double helical shape between the first scroll wrap 31a and the second scroll wrap 32a.

Referring to FIG. 4, the end surface of the impeller 33 may be provided with a plurality of blades 33a, which may extend continuously from the central portion of the impeller 33 to the peripheral surface of the impeller 33, e.g., in the shape of a Bessel curve. The plurality of blades 33a may be uniformly arranged and spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the impeller 33. A centrifugal compression flow channel 33d gradually expanding from the inlet toward the outlet may be formed between adjacent blades 33a. The inlet of the centrifugal compression flow channel 33d may be located at the central portion of the impeller 33, and the outlet of the centrifugal compression flow channel 33d may be located at the peripheral surface of the impeller 33 and aligned with the diffuser section 11c. The impeller 33 may be arranged coaxially with the second scroll plate 32 and formed in one piece with the second scroll plate 32, such that the first communication hole 32b may communicate the outlet of the scroll compression working cavity 3a and the inlet of the centrifugal compression flow channels 33d. The impeller 33 may be provided with a second communication hole 33b, which may penetrate through the impeller 33 along the rotation axis of the impeller 33. The second communication hole 33b may be aligned with the exhaust hole 14b, such that the second communication hole 33b and the exhaust hole 14b form a second output flow channel.

A user may control the opening and closing states of the second output flow channel.

The surface of impeller 33 may be provided with a plurality of fourth sealing teeth 33c. The plurality of fourth sealing teeth 33c may be staggered with the plurality of second sealing teeth 14a, such that the second scroll plate 33 is labyrinth-sealed with the end cover 14.


The second bearing 35 may be coaxially sleeved on the impeller 33, and the end cover 14 may be sleeved on the second bearing 35. The second bearing 35 may define the rotation axis of the second scroll plate 32. The rotation axis of the second scroll plate 32 may be parallel to and staggered with the rotation axis of the first scroll plate 31.


Referring to FIG. 5, the transmission member 34 may have substantially the same shape as a crank throw. Specifically, the transmission member 34 includes a first shaft portion 34a, a second shaft portion 34b and a connecting portion 34c. The connecting portion 34c may be plate-shaped. The first shaft portion 34a and the second shaft portion 34b may extend from the connecting portion 34c toward both sides of the connecting portion 34c, respectively. A central axis of the first shaft portion 34a is parallel to and staggered with a central axis of the second shaft portion 34b. A distance (the shortest distance) between the central axis of the first shaft portion 34a and the central axis of the second shaft portion 34b may be equal to a distance between the rotation axis of the first scroll plate 31 and the rotation axis of the second scroll plate 32. The first shaft portion 34a may extend into the first transmission hole 31b, while the second shaft portion 34b may extend into the second transmission hole 32c.


Further, the first shaft portion 34a may be in clearance fit with the first transmission hole 31b, while the second shaft portion 34b may be in clearance fit with the second transmission hole 32c, so that the rotation tendency of the transmission member can be suppressed. Of course, this is not mandatory.


Referring to FIG. 6, the dual-mode compressor may have a scroll-centrifugal compression mode and a scroll mode. Specifically, when the flow rate of the working medium is large, the first output flow channel 11b can be opened and the second output flow channel can be closed, so that the dual-mode compressor is in the scroll-centrifugal compression mode. In this mode, the working medium can enter the internal space from the input flow channel 11a, and the working fluid entering the internal space can be sucked into the scroll compression working cavity 3a. When the rotating shaft 21 rotates, the rotating shaft 21 can directly drive the first scroll plate 31 to rotate, and the first scroll plate 31 can drive the second scroll plate 32 and the impeller 33 to rotate through the transmission member 34. Meanwhile, the second scroll plate 32 periodically translate relative to the first scroll plate 31, which causes the volume of the scroll compression working cavity 3a to change periodically, such that the working medium in the scroll compression working cavity 3a undergoes a first compression.


The working medium after the first compression, can be discharged from the outlet of the scroll compression working cavity 3a and then enter the centrifugal compression flow channels 33d via the first communication hole 32b. The working medium in the centrifugal compression flow channels 33d may be thrown into the diffuser section 11c at a higher speed under the action of centrifugal force, so that the working medium undergoes a second compression in the centrifugal compression flow channels 33d. Ultimately, the working medium after the two compressions, is guided away from the dual-mode compressor by the diversion section 11d.


In this mode, the scroll compression can be configured to have a lower compression ratio and the centrifugal compression can be configured to have a higher compression ratio. By doing so, the scroll compression working cavity 3a has a smaller leakage loss without losing the compression ratio of the dual-mode compressor, so that the dual-mode compressor achieves a higher efficiency. In addition, for the gas-liquid mixed working medium, the scroll compression can increase the pressure and temperature of the working medium in advance, so that the working medium does not condense when it enters the centrifugal compression flow channel 33d, and thus the blades 33a are less likely to be damaged.


When the flow rate of the working medium is relatively small, the first output flow channel 11b can be closed and the second output flow channel can be opened, so that the dual-mode compressor is in the scroll compression mode. In this mode, the working medium compressed in the scroll compression working cavity 3a can directly leave the dual-mode compressor via the second output flow channel without passing through the centrifugal compression flow channels 33d, so that the working medium is compressed only once. By doing so, low efficiency and instability of centrifugal compression under the condition of small flow can be avoided.


By controlling the opening and closing states of the first output flow channel 11b and the second output flow channel, the working medium can leave the dual-mode compressor via the first output flow channel 11b in the scroll-centrifugal compression mode, and can leave the dual-mode compressor via the second output flow channel in the scroll compression mode, so that the working medium leaving the scroll compression working cavity 3a can selectively enter the centrifugal compression flow channels 33d.


Furthermore, in the dual-mode compressor of the disclosure, the second scroll plate 32 is labyrinth-sealed with the volute 11, so that the input flow channel 11a does not directly communicate with the first output flow channel 11b and the second output flow channel without passing through the above-described communication path. The impeller 33 is labyrinth-sealed with the end cover 14, so that the second output flow channel does not directly communicate with the input flow channel 11a and the first output flow channel 11b without passing through the above-described communication path. In this way, the input flow path 11a, the first output flow path 11b and the second output flow path can communicate with each other according to a target path, and thus the working medium can flow along the target path.


This disclosure has at least the following advantages:


(i) By coupling scroll compression and centrifugal compression, the dual-mode compressor is able to be in the scroll-centrifugal compression mode, allowing the dual-mode compressor to have high efficiency and to be used for compressing gas-liquid mixed working medium.


(ii) By providing the second output flow channel, the dual-mode compressor is able to be in the scroll compression mode, allowing the dual-mode compressor to adapt to low flow conditions.


(iii) By providing the transmission member 34, the second scroll plate 32 is able to be driven by the first scroll plate 31, so that the first scroll plate 31, the second scroll plate 32, and the impeller 33 can be driven by the same driving source, thereby making the driving structure of the dual-mode compressor simple and compact.


It should be understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the application. Those skilled in the art may make various variations and changes to the above embodiments under the teachings of the application without departing from the scope of the application. Supplementary descriptions are provided below.


It should be understood that the second scroll plate 32 is not limited to being driven by the first scroll plate 31 via the transmission member 34. For example, the second scroll plate 32 may be driven by the first scroll plate 31 via a gear. The second scroll plate 32 is not limited to being driven by the first scroll plate 31. For example, the first scroll plate 31 and the second scroll plate 32 may be driven by the same drive source. The driven source may drive the first scroll plate 31 and the second scroll plate 32 through different transmission components. Alternatively, the first scroll plate 31 and the second scroll plate 32 may be driven by different drive sources.


It should be understood that the impeller 33 is not limited to being formed in one piece with the second scroll plate 32. For example, the impeller 33 and the second scroll plate 32 may be independent of each other, and the impeller 33 may be connected with the second scroll plate 32 in a torsion-proof manner. That is, the impeller 33 and the second scroll plate 32 are connected in a manner of transmitting torque. Alternatively, the impeller 33 may be secured to the second scroll plate 32 by a fastener.


It should be understood that the number of the transmission member 34 is not limited to four. For example, there may be one or more the transmission member 34.
