In the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the working cavity includes an intake cavity and a compression cavity, a part of high-pressure gas remains in the exhaust channel during an exhausting process of the working cavity. When the sliding vane is about to sweep through the exhaust channel, the high-pressure gas stored in the exhaust channel communicates with the intake cavity of the working cavity. Because a pressure of the part of the high-pressure gas is higher than that of the sucked gas, an over-expansion phenomenon will occur in the working cavity, and an gas flow direction in the working cavity points to the intake cavity, which causes a resultant force exerted on an intake side of the sliding vane to point to an end of the sliding vane away from the exhaust channel. Under actions of these two resultant forces, the sliding vane will be subjected to a rotating torque. Under an action of this torque, the sliding vane will turnover, and then it will collide with fine finished surfaces of the first flange and the second flange to generate an impact. Since this impact changes the force exerted on the sliding vane, it will also cause the sliding vane to hit the cylinder, thus generating negative vibration and noise of the compressor. By arranging the exhaust channel in the first flange and arranging the gas flow balance portion on the second flange, the rotating torque opposite to the torque generated at the exhaust channel of the first flange is generated at the gas flow balance portion to balance the torque generated at the exhaust channel of the first flange, so that after the rotating torque of the sliding vane is balanced, the forces exerted on the sliding vane will be in a balanced state, preventing the sliding vane from overturning, ensuring reliable operation of the compressor, and effectively reducing the vibration and noise of the compressor.

As shown in
In one embodiment, the pump body assembly includes a first flange 10, a second flange 20, a cylinder assembly 30, a rotation shaft 40 and a sliding vane 50. The cylinder assembly 30 is connected to the first flange 10 and the second flange 20 respectively. The cylinder assembly 30 is disposed between the first flange 10 and the second flange 20. The rotation shaft 40 is provided and passes through the first flange 10, the cylinder assembly 30 and the second flange 20 in sequence. A sliding vane groove 41 is provided on the rotation shaft 40. The sliding vane 50 is disposed inside the sliding vane groove 41. The sliding vane 50 fits the cylinder assembly 30 to form a working cavity inside the cylinder assembly 30. An exhaust channel 11 is provided in the first flange 10 and is in communication with the working cavity, and a gas flow balance portion is provided on the second flange 20. When the working cavity is in the exhausting state, a gas flow in the cylinder assembly 30 generates a force of a torque F at the gas flow balance portion, and the force is applied to an end of the sliding vane 50, which is away from the exhaust channel 11, so that the sliding vane 50 does not tilt during a working process of the working cavity.
In this embodiment, since the working cavity includes an intake cavity and a compression cavity, a part of high-pressure gas remains in the exhaust channel during an exhausting process of the working cavity. When the sliding vane is about to sweep through the exhaust channel, the high-pressure gas stored in the exhaust channel communicates with the intake cavity of the working cavity. Because a pressure of the part high-pressure gas is higher than that of the sucked gas, an over-expansion phenomenon will occur in the working cavity, and a gas flow direction in the working cavity points to the intake cavity, which causes a resultant force exerted on an intake side of the sliding vane to point to an end of the sliding vane away from the exhaust channel. Under actions of these two resultant forces, the sliding vane will be subjected to a rotating torque. Under an action of this torque, the sliding vane will turnover, and then it will collide with fine finished surfaces of the first flange and the second flange to generate an impact. Since this impact changes the force exerted on the sliding vane, it will also cause the sliding vane to hit the cylinder, thus generating negative vibration and noise of the compressor. By arranging the exhaust channel in the first flange and arranging the gas flow balance portion on the second flange, the rotating torque opposite to the torque generated at the exhaust channel of the first flange is generated at the gas flow balance portion to balance the torque generated at the exhaust channel of the first flange, so that after the rotating torque of the sliding vane is balanced, the forces exerted on the sliding vane will be in a balanced state, preventing the sliding vane from overturning, ensuring reliable operation of the compressor, and effectively reducing the vibration and noise of the compressor.
The gas flow balance portion is disposed at a position of the second flange 20, and the position is opposite to the exhaust channel 11. This arrangement can further improve the stability and reliability of the compressor.
In some embodiments, the gas flow balance portion is a groove 21, and the groove 21 is provided on a surface of the second flange 20, which faces the exhaust channel 11. This arrangement enables the gas flow in the working cavity to generate a torque at the groove 21 and apply the torque to the sliding vane during the exhaust process of the working cavity, so that the sliding vane is always in an equilibrium position and does not tilt. The working cavity includes a compression cavity and an intake cavity. The working cavity performs suction simultaneously performs compression. In some embodiments, the first flange is an upper flange, and the second flange is a lower flange. In some embodiments, the first flange is a lower flange, and the second flange is an upper flange.
In order to enable the torque generated at the groove 21 to counteract the torque generated at the exhaust channel, a projection of the exhaust channel 11 on the second flange 20 coincides with the groove 21. It should be noted that the “coincide” used herein means that a shape and a size of the projection of the exhaust channel 11 are exactly the same as a shape and a size of the groove.
Further, the gas flow balance portion is an exhaust through hole; the exhaust through hole is provided in and passes through the second flange 20; and the exhaust through hole is arranged opposite to the exhaust channel 11. This arrangement also plays a role of balancing the sliding vane. Further, a cross-sectional profile line of the exhaust through hole is identical with a cross-sectional profile line of the exhaust channel.
An annular protrusion 42 is provided on a part of outer peripheral surface of the rotation shaft 40, and the annular protrusion 42 is disposed inside the cylinder assembly 30. The sliding vane groove 41 is provided on the annular protrusion 42, and extends along a radial direction of the annular protrusion 42. A plurality of sliding vane grooves 41 are provided, and the plurality of sliding vane grooves 41 are arranged at intervals along a circumferential direction of the annular protrusion 42. A plurality of sliding vanes 50 are provided, and the plurality of sliding vanes 50 are arranged to correspond to the plurality of sliding vane grooves 41 one-to-one. The plurality of sliding vanes 50 divide an inside of the cylinder assembly 30 into a plurality of independent working cavities. This arrangement can improve the performance of the compressor.
Further, the cylinder assembly 30 includes a cylinder 31, a rolling member 32 and a bearing sleeve 33. The rolling member 32 is arranged inside the cylinder 31 and sleeved on the rotation shaft 40. The sliding vane grooves 41 fit the inner wall surface of the rolling member 32 to divide space between the inner wall surface of the rolling member 32 and the rotation shaft 40 into the working cavities. The bearing sleeve 33 is sleeved on the rolling member 32; at least a part of the bearing sleeve 33 is located between an inner wall surface of the cylinder 31 and an outer peripheral surface of the rolling member 32; and a rolling body 34 is provided between the rolling member 32 and the bearing sleeve 33.
The above-mentioned embodiments can also be used in the field of compressor equipment, that is, according to another aspect of the present disclosure, a compressor is provided. The compressor includes a pump body assembly, which is the pump body assembly of any one of the above embodiments.
The above embodiments can also be used in the field of air conditioner equipment, that is, according to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, an air conditioner is provided, and includes a pump body assembly, which is the pump body assembly of any one of the above embodiments.
In one embodiment, the gas flow balance portion is provided on the lower flange opposite to the exhaust channel, thus balancing a pressure fluctuation at an exhaust port of the upper flange, reducing a pressure disturbance to the sliding vane, and weakening an impact of the sliding vane on the upper and lower flanges and on the bearing. A vibration and noise level of a sliding vane compressor is effectively improved. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional profile line of the exhaust through hole is the same as the cross-sectional profile line of the exhaust channel 11. A ratio of a length to a width of the exhaust channel 11 is less than or equal to 4. In some embodiments, the cross section of the exhaust channel 11 is in a shape of a rhombus.
When the compressor is operating, the motor drives the rotation shaft to rotate, and under the action of a centrifugal force, the sliding vane extends from the sliding vane groove and contacts an inner wall surface of an inner ring of the rolling member. Along with a smooth operation of the compressor, the sliding vane starts to perform a reciprocating motion in the sliding vane groove, and a head of the sliding vane contacts the inner wall surface and drives the inner ring to rotate. Three sliding vanes are provided, and the three sliding vanes and the inner ring of the rolling member divide the entire crescent cavity into three independent cavities. These three cavities are periodically enlarged and reduced to realize the intake and exhaust of the compressor. During the movement of the compressor, the sliding vane and the sliding vane groove form a closed space, which is called a sliding vane back pressure cavity. There are also three sliding vane back pressure cavities, and as the compressor operates, the back pressure cavities are periodically enlarged and reduced. An oil pump is provided on a lower part of the pump body assembly and immersed in an oil pool disposed at a bottom of the compressor. The rotation shaft rotates to drive the oil pump to rotate. The oil pump is a positive displacement pump. In addition to providing lubricating oil for friction pairs of the pump body, the oil pump also provides the sliding vane back pressure cavities with oil of a certain pressure.
