Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to an improved floating apparatus for scroll compressors, and more particularly, to a multi-function device integrating a temperature protection mechanism, a pressure protection mechanism and a backflow-proof mechanism.


TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

It has been discovered that one of the unique features of scroll compressors is that it is ease to overheat while operating under abnormal conditions, such as operating under a compression ratio exceeding its specification, poor heat dissipation from its system condenser, blocked fan, clogged piping or the likes.


For preventing scroll compressors from being damaged by the aforesaid conditions, one known method is to design an apparatus in the scroll compressors that is specifically used for causing a low-pressure working fluid to flow toward a high-pressure zone, or/and causing a medium-pressure working fluid to a high-pressure zone when any of the aforesaid excessive temperature conditions is encountered, so as to protect scroll compressors from overheating. There are already many such apparatuses available today, such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,141,407, U.S. Pat. No. 6,267,565, and U.S. Pat. No. 7,338,265.


In detail, each of the U.S. Pat. No. 5,141,407 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,267,565 teaches an apparatus for protecting scroll compressors from high temperature problems, and the U.S. Pat. No. 7,338,265 teaches an apparatus for protecting scroll compressors from high pressure problems, according to that the apparatuses disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,141,407 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,267,565 are not able to protect scroll compressors from being damaged by high pressure, and the apparatus disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,338,265 is not able to protect scroll compressors from being damaged by high temperature. Thus, there are still a lot to be improved in those apparatuses disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,141,407, U.S. Pat. No. 6,267,565, and U.S. Pat. No. 7,338,265.


Moreover, most current available scroll compressor is configured with a gliding block at the center thereof, which is designed to be driven to move by the pressure variation in the scroll compressor for allowing a high-pressure fluid to flow into a high-pressure chamber while preventing the same from leaking toward a low-pressure chamber as the scroll compressor is actuated. In addition, the aforesaid gliding block further comprises a backflow-proof element for reducing high-pressure backflow and thus preventing damage to the scroll pair of the scroll compressor.


However, as the acting force of the aforesaid gliding block design will concentrate to the center of the corresponding scroll pair, resulting that the contact area between the gliding block and the scroll pair is very small, the sealing between the gliding block and the scroll pair is not satisfactory.


In addition, the backflow-proof element formed in the gliding block is substantially a blind hole having a valve plate disposed therein. However, in reality, such blind hole design will cause the difficulty for machining a gliding block to increase.

Moreover, the gliding block is further configured with two medium-pressure passages, each being connected in communication with the low-pressure zone, in a manner that one of the two medium-pressure passages is provided for receiving the pressure protection unit while allowing the same to be positioned between the medium-pressure chamber and the low-pressure zone, and another medium-pressure passage is provided for receiving the temperature protection unit while allowing the same to be positioned between the medium-pressure chamber and the low-pressure zone.


In another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the partition block is formed with a via hole at the center thereof, which is provided for the top of the gliding block to insert therethrough; and moreover, the partition block is formed with a seal mounting surface and the gliding block is formed with a ring flange mounting surface that is coaxially arranged with the axis of the high-pressure via hole while extending axially, and seal mounting surface can be arranged for selectively enabling the same to engage with and detach from the ring flange mounting surface.

In addition, the fixed scroll is formed with a ring flange at a position on top of the hub thereof, that is used for enabling the medium-pressure chamber to be formed between the gliding block and the ring flange; and also the fixed scroll is formed with a medium-pressure passage in a manner that the medium-pressure passage is connected in communication respectively with the medium-pressure chamber and the low-pressure suction inlet.


In another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the temperature protection unit is substantially a temperature responsive valve, composed of a block ring and a disk-like valve element in a manner that the ring block is arranged at a position corresponding to a first pressure passage while the disk-like valve element is disposed inside the medium-pressure passage.


In another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the pressure protection unit is substantially a pressure relief valve, composed of a block element, an elastic element and a spherical-shape element, in which the block element is formed with a stair-shaped hole that is connected in communication with the low-pressure zone; the elastic element is disposed inside the block element while enabling an end of the elastic element to abut against the inner wall of the stair-shaped hole and another end thereof to abut against the spherical-shape element; and the spherical-shape element is disposed inside the medium-pressure passage.

To sum up, the scroll compressor with improved floating apparatus has at least the following advantages:

    • (1) Since the contact area between the gliding block and the medium-pressure chamber of the fixed scroll is increased, resulting that the acting force exerting upon the scroll pair by the gliding block is being distributed, not only the stability of the dynamic operation of the scroll compressor is enhanced, but also the operation performance is increased.
    • (2) As the high-pressure via hole of the gliding block is designed as a via hole instead of the prior-art blind hole design, the machining of the gliding block is comparatively easily, not to mention that the backflow-proof unit in the present disclosure is blocked and barred by the use of a ring element, such as a C-shape ring, that can be assembled and mounted to the top of the high-pressure via hole easily.
    • (3) The sealing of the present disclosure is improved by the sealing elements arranged respective between the high-pressure chamber and the medium-pressure chamber, and the medium-pressure chamber and the low-pressure zone.
    • (4) Since the gliding block is configured with the temperature protection unit and the pressure protection unit, it can respond to any abnormal high temperature and high pressure for activating a pressure-drop operation and/or a temperature dissipating operation accordingly in respective or simultaneously and thus the damage protection for the scroll compressor is improved.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

For your esteemed members of reviewing committee to further understand and recognize the fulfilled functions and structural characteristics of the disclosure, several exemplary embodiments cooperating with detailed description are presented as the follows.


Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a sectional view of a scroll compressor with improved floating apparatus according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the scroll compressor with improved floating apparatus comprises: a frame 1, a partition block 2, a floating apparatus 3, a backflow-proof unit 301, a temperature protection unit 31, a pressure protection unit 32, a scroll pair 4 and a bracket 5.


The frame 1 is configured with an inlet 10 and an outlet 11 and is divided into a high-pressure zone 12 and a low-pressure zone 13 in a manner that the high-pressure zone 12 is connected in communication with the outlet 11 while the low-pressure zone 13 is connected in communication with the inlet 10.


The partition block 2 is disposed inside the frame 1 at a position between the high-pressure zone 12 and the low-pressure zone 13 for separating the two. Moreover, the partition block 2 is configured with a via hole 20, that is formed at the center thereof, and a seal mounting surface 21.


The scroll pair 4 is composed of a fixed scroll 40 and a rotary scroll 41, that are arranged convoluting each other while enabling a low-pressure suction inlet 42, that is connected in communication with the low-pressure zone 13, to be formed therebetween. Moreover, the fixed scroll 40 is formed with a discharge port 401 at a position on top of the hub thereof, and also, the fixed scroll 40 is further formed with a receiving recess 403 at a position on top of the hub thereof, that is provided for receiving the floating apparatus 3 therein. In addition, the fixed scroll is further formed with a ring flange 404 at a position on top of the hub thereof, and also the fixed scroll is further formed with a medium-pressure passage 402.


The floating apparatus 3, being movably disposed between the scroll pair 4 and the partition block 2, is composed of a gliding block 30, a first sealing element 33 and a second sealing element 34, in which the gliding block 30 is mounted to the top of the fixed scroll 40 while being received inside the receiving recess 403 for enabling a high-pressure chamber 400 to be formed between the gliding block 30 and the receiving recess 403 as well as a medium-pressure chamber 43 to be formed between the gliding block 30 and the ring flange 404. In addition, as the discharge port 401 is arranged in communication with the high-pressure chamber 400, the high-pressure chamber 400 is substantially connected in communication respectively with the high-pressure zone 12 and the low-pressure suction inlet 42. Moreover, As the medium-pressure chamber 43 is formed in communication with the medium-pressure passage 402, the medium-pressure chamber 43 is also capable of communicating with the low-pressure suction inlet 42.


The top of the gliding block 30 is inserted into the via hole 20 to be positioned inside the high-pressure zone 12, whereas the gliding block 30 is further being configured with a high-pressure via hole 300 and a plurality of radial side holes 304.


There are a first pressure passage 305 and a second pressure passage 308 being formed between the gliding block 30 and the partition block 2 in a manner that the first pressure passage 305 is connected in communication with the second pressure passage 308 for allowing the low-pressure zone 13 and the high-pressure zone 12 to communicate with each other therethrough. Moreover, there are two medium-pressure passages 306, 307 being formed in the gliding block 30 at positions corresponding to the first pressure passage 305 for enabling the two medium-pressure passages 306, 307 to connected in communication with the first pressure passage 305.


In addition, the first sealing element 33 is disposed at the bottom of the gliding block 30 at a position proximate to the high-pressure via hole 300, which is used for preventing the fluid inside the high-pressure chamber 400 to leak into the medium-pressure chamber 43. Similarly, the second sealing element 34 is also disposed at the bottom of the gliding block 30 about the periphery thereof, which is used for preventing the fluid inside the medium-pressure chamber 43 to leak into the low-pressure zone 13. As shown in FIG. 7, each of the sealing elements 33, 34 is formed with a pressure relief groove, which are the pressure relief groove 330 in the first sealing element 33 and the pressure relief groove 340 in the second sealing element 34, by that cross section of each sealing element 33, 34 is a U-shape cross section. Thereby, the aforesaid high-pressure chamber 400 and the medium-pressure chamber 43 can be formed from the assembling of the fixed scroll 40, the floating apparatus 3, the first sealing element 33 and the second sealing element 34.


The backflow-proof unit 301 is substantially a baffle, movably disposed inside the high-pressure via hole 300 while being supported by a flange 302 also mounted inside the high-pressure via hole 300, and correspondingly, there is a flange element 303, such as a C-shaped ring, disposed at the top of the high-pressure via hole 300 to be used for barring the baffle 301. It is noted that each of the plural radial side holes 304 is connected in communication with the high-pressure zone 12. In addition, the gliding block 30 is formed with a ring flange mounting surface 35 that is extending axially and is coaxially arranged with the axis of the high-pressure via hole 300, by that the seal mounting surface 21 is arranged for enabling the same to engage with the ring flange mounting surface 35 so as to construct the abovementioned high-pressure zone 12 and the low-pressure zone 13.


The temperature protection unit 31, being disposed at a side of the gliding block 30, is substantially temperature responsive valve arranged between the medium-pressure passage 307 and the first pressure passage 305 at a position proximate to the high-pressure via hole 300. As shown in FIG. 4, the temperature protection unit 31 is composed of a block ring 310 and a disk-like valve element 311 made of a bimetallic material, in a manner that the ring block 310 is arranged at a position corresponding to a first pressure passage 305 while the disk-like valve element is disposed inside the medium-pressure passage 307 to be used for selectively opening or closing the same.


The pressure protection unit 32, being disposed at another side of the gliding block 30, is substantially a pressure relief valve being arranged between another medium-pressure passage 306 and the first pressure passage 305. As shown in FIG. 2, the pressure relief valve 32 is composed of a block element 320, an elastic element 322 and a spherical-shape element 323, in that the block element 320 is formed with a stair-shaped hole 321 that is connected in communication with the low-pressure zone 13 by way of the first pressure passage 305; the elastic element 322, being a spring, is disposed inside the block element 320 while enabling an end of the elastic element 322 to abut against the inner wall of the stair-shaped hole 321 and another end thereof to abut against the spherical-shape element 323; and the spherical-shape element 323 is disposed inside the medium-pressure passage 306 to be used for selectively opening or closing the same. Moreover, the bracket 5, being mounted inside the frame 1, is disposed at the bottom of the scroll pair.


As shown in FIG. 6, a working fluid that is being fed into the low-pressure zone 13 through the inlet 10 will be sucked into the scroll pair 4 through the low-pressure suction inlet 42 so as to be pressurized into a high-pressure fluid. Thereafter, the high-pressure fluid will flow into the high-pressure chamber 400 through the via hole 401 to be used for forcing the gliding block 30 to move, resulting the seal mounting surface 21 to engage with the ring flange mounting surface 35 and thus sealing the second pressure passage 308. That is, the communication between the high-pressure zone 12 and the low-pressure zone 11 is closed. Simultaneously, the high-pressure fluid also flows into the high-pressure via hole 300 for actuating the backflow-proof unit 301, resulting the radial side holes 304 to connect in communication with the high-pressure chamber 400 so as to enable the high-pressure fluid to flow into the high-pressure zone 12 and then out of the same through the outlet 11.


If the high-pressure fluid in not powerful enough to drive the gliding block 30, the gliding block will move back to its original position for enabling the first pressure passage 305 to communicate with the second pressure passage 308 as normal, and enabling the seal mounting surface 21 to detach from contacting with the ring flange mounting surface 35, i.e. the communication between the high-pressure zone 12 and the low-pressure zone 11 is recovered. Simultaneously, the backflow-proof unit 301 is restored back to its original position, resulting to the high-pressure via hole 300 to be closed and thus preventing the high-pressure fluid that was fed into the high-pressure zone 12 in the previous process from flowing back into the high-pressure chamber 400.


As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the fluid inside the medium-pressure chamber 43 will be pressurized by the scroll pair 4 into a so-called medium-pressure fluid, and if the pressure of the medium-pressure fluid exceeds a specific pressure value, the medium-pressure fluid will flow into the medium-pressure zone 43 through the hole 402 to be used for pushing the spherical-shape element 323. Since the medium-pressure passage 306 is capable of communicating with the first pressure passage 305 by way of the stair-shaped hole 321 of the block element 320, the spherical-shape element 323 will be pushed away by the medium-pressure fluid exceeding the specific pressure value, resulting that the medium-pressure passage 306 is opened for allowing the medium-pressure fluid to flow into the low-pressure zone 13 through the medium-pressure chamber 43, causing the pressure inside the scroll compressor to drop and thus protecting the scroll compressor from being damaged by high pressure. As the pressure is dropped, the spherical-shape element 323 will be pushed back to its original position by the elastic element 322 and thus the medium-pressure passage 306 is closed.


As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, when the temperature inside the medium-pressure chamber 43 exceeds a specific threshold temperature, the disk-like valve element 311 will be actuated to open the medium-pressure passage 307 for enabling the medium-pressure chamber 43 to communicate with the low-pressure zone 13. That is, the disk-like valve element 311 will be deformed to an extend sufficient enough at the threshold temperature for opening the medium-pressure passage 307, and thus allowing the medium-pressure fluid inside the medium-pressure chamber 43 to into the low-pressure zone 13 through the medium-pressure passage 307, resulting that the heat inside the scroll compressor is dissipated as well as the pressure of the same is dropped, and thus the scroll compressor is protected from being damaged by high temperature and high pressure.


Please refer to FIG. 7, which is a sectional diagram showing a working sealing ring of the present disclosure. Since the first sealing element 33 is disposed between the high-pressure chamber 400 and the medium-pressure chamber 43, it is used primarily for preventing the high-pressure fluid from leaking from the high-pressure chamber 400 into the medium-pressure chamber 43; and since the second sealing element 34 is disposed between the medium-pressure chamber 43 and the low-pressure zone 13, it is used primarily for preventing the fluid in the medium-pressure chamber 43 from leaking into the low-pressure zone 13. Operationally, when the pressure relief grooves 330, 340 is subjected to the pressure of a high-pressure fluid, the corresponding sealing elements 33 and 34 will be forced to stretched outward, resulting the two sealing elements 33 and 34 to be able to provide a better sealing effect for preventing any fluid leakage.


With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present disclosure.
