In order to solve the problem known to the inventors that the working efficiency of the pump body assembly is affected because the piston sleeve of the pump body assembly is prone to rotate eccentrically, the present disclosure provides a pump body assembly, fluid machinery, and a heat exchange device.

First Embodiment

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the pump body assembly includes two structure members, a cylinder 20 and a piston assembly. The cylinder 20 is arranged between the two structure members. The piston assembly is arranged in the cylinder 20. The piston assembly includes a piston sleeve 40 and a piston 50 slidably arranged in the piston sleeve 40. An upper end surface of the piston sleeve 40 fits and is limited by a lower end surface of the structure member disposed above the piston sleeve 40, to prevent the piston sleeve 40 from moving in a radial direction relative to the structure member.

In this embodiment of the disclosure, during the operation of the pump body assembly, the upper end of the piston sleeve 40 is limited and supported by the structure member disposed above it, preventing the piston sleeve 40 from moving in the radial direction during operation, ensuring the piston sleeve 40 to rotate normally, solving the problem known to the inventors that the working efficiency of the pump body assembly is affected because the piston sleeve of the pump body assembly is prone to rotate eccentrically, and improving the operation reliability and the working performance of the pump body assembly.

In this embodiment, the structure member disposed above the piston sleeve 40 is an upper flange 11.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the upper end surface of the piston sleeve 40 has a first extended part 41; the lower end surface of the upper flange 11 has a concave part 111; and the first extended part 41 extends into the concave part 111, and is limited and stopped by the concave part 111 in a radial direction of the piston sleeve 40. In this case, the first extended part 41 of the piston sleeve 40 extends into the concave part 111 of the upper flange 11, realizing, by the upper flange 11, a position limitation to the piston sleeve 40 in the radial direction. During the operation of the pump body assembly, the convex part 111 limits and stops the first extended part 41, which ensures that the first extended part 41 rotates in the convex part 111, preventing the first extended part 41 from moving in the radial direction, realizing, by the upper flange 11, the position limitation and a support for the upper end of the piston sleeve 40, preventing the piston sleeve 40 from rotating eccentrically and aslant, ensuring the pump body assembly to operate normally, and improving the working reliability of the pump body assembly.

In this embodiment, the first extended part 41 and the concave part 111 are ring-shaped, and the first extended part 41, the concave part 111, and the piston sleeve 40 are coaxially arranged. In this case, the above arrangement enables the piston sleeve 40 to rotate relative to the upper flange 11, ensuring the operation reliability of the pump body assembly. The piston sleeve 40 and the upper flange 11 are eccentrically arranged, and an eccentricity thereof is an eccentricity e of the pump body assembly. In this case, the above arrangement enables the first extended part 41 of the piston sleeve 40 to rotate in the concave part 111 of the upper flange 11 and rotate around a central axis of the piston sleeve 40 (or around a central axis of the concave part 111), thus ensuring reliability of the position limitation and the support provided by the upper flange for the piston sleeve 40.

It should be noted that the first extended part 41 is not limited to such a structure. In one embodiment, the first extended part 41 is a double-layered ring-shaped structure, and at least one layer of the ring-shaped structure is limited and stopped by an inner groove wall or an outer groove wall of the concave part 111. In this case, the above arrangement makes the structure of the first extended part 41 more diversified, making the processing and manufacturing of the piston sleeve 40 easier and simpler, and reducing labor intensity of staff.

In this embodiment, the concave part 111 is a groove. The above-mentioned structure is simple, and easy to process and implement.

In this embodiment, a width of the groove is greater than a thickness of the first extended part 41. In this case, the above arrangement ensures that the first extended part 41 is located in the groove, ensuring that the groove can limit and stop the first extended part 41, improving the reliability of the position limitation provided by the upper flange 11 for the piston sleeve 40, and improving the operation reliability of the pump body assembly.

In this embodiment, there is a first predetermined distance between an inner groove wall of the groove and a side surface of the first extended part 41 proximate to the center of the piston sleeve 40, and the first predetermined distance is greater than or equal to 5 um, and less than or equal to 40 um. Specifically, the inner groove wall of the groove limits and stops the side surface of the first extended part 41 proximate to the center of the piston sleeve 40, preventing a radial displacement there between. Moreover, in order to ensure that the piston sleeve 40 can rotate normally, the first predetermined distance, between the inner groove wall of the groove and the side surface of the first extended part 41 proximate to the center of the piston sleeve 40, is set, which not only ensures the groove to radially limit the position of the first extended part 41, but also enables the first extended part 41 to rotate relative to the groove, improving the operation reliability of the pump body assembly.

In this embodiment, the convex part 111 and the upper flange 11 are eccentrically arranged, and the eccentricity is e. In this case, the eccentricity of the pump body assembly is determined in the above manner, making it easier to guarantee the eccentricity of the pump body assembly, and the determination of the eccentricity e is more reliable and simple.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pump body assembly further includes a lower flange 12 and a rotation shaft 30. The lower flange 12 is disposed below the piston assembly. The rotation shaft 30 passes through the upper flange 11, the piston sleeve 40, and the lower flange 12 in sequence; and the rotation shaft 30, the upper flange 11, and the lower flange 12 are arranged coaxially. During the operation of the pump body assembly, the rotation shaft 30 rotates around the central axis of the upper flange 11; the piston sleeve 40 rotates around the central axis of the concave part 111; the piston 50 only reciprocates relative to the piston sleeve 40; and the piston 50 reciprocates relative to the rotation shaft 30. The two reciprocating motions are perpendicular to each other, that is, the operation of the pump body assembly follows the principle of the cross slide block type mechanism. With the reciprocating motion between the piston 50 and the piston sleeve 40, the volumes of two cavities formed between a curved surface of the head of the piston 50, the inner surface of the cylinder 20, and the guiding hole of the piston sleeve 40 gradually change, completing a process of intake, compression and exhausting.

The present disclosure further provides fluid machinery (not shown), including the above-mentioned pump body assembly. In one embodiment, the fluid machinery is a compressor.

The present disclosure further provides a heat exchange device (not shown), including the above-mentioned fluid machinery. In one embodiment, the heat exchange device is an air conditioner.

Second Embodiment

The pump body assembly of the second embodiment differs from that of the first embodiment in that structures of the upper flange 11, the piston sleeve 40, and the lower flange 12 are different respectively.

As shown in FIGS. 5-9, the lower end surface of the upper flange 11 has a position-limiting part 112 extending toward the piston sleeve 40, and the piston sleeve 40 is limited and stopped by the position-limiting part 112, to prevent the piston sleeve 40 from moving in a radial direction relative to the upper flange 11. Where, the position-limiting part 112 extends into the piston sleeve 40, limits and stops an inner surface of the piston sleeve 40. In this case, the position-limiting part 112 of the upper flange 11 extends into the piston sleeve 40, limits and stops the inner surface of the piston sleeve 40, realizing, by the upper flange 11, a position limitation to the piston sleeve 40 in the radial direction. During the operation of the pump body assembly, the inner surface of the piston sleeve 40 is limited and stopped by the position-limiting part 112 to prevent the piston sleeve 40 from moving in the radial direction, realizing, by the upper flange 11, the position limitation to and the support for an upper end of the piston sleeve 40, preventing the piston sleeve 40 from rotating eccentrically and aslant, ensuring the pump body assembly to operate normally, and improving the working reliability of the pump body assembly.

As shown in FIG. 9, a step surface 44 is disposed on the inner surface of the piston sleeve 40, and the step surface 44 is disposed at one end of the piston sleeve 40, and the one end of the piston sleeve 40 faces the upper flange 11. The position-limiting part 112 extends to the step surface 44 to limit and stop the step surface 44, achieving, by the upper flange 11, the position limitation to the piston sleeve 40 in the radial direction.

In this embodiment, the position-limiting part 112 and the piston sleeve 40 are coaxially arranged. Where, the position-limiting part 112 and the upper flange 11 are eccentrically arranged, and the eccentricity is e. In this case, the eccentricity of the pump body assembly is determined in the above manner, which makes it easier to guarantee the eccentricity of the pump body assembly, and the determination of the eccentricity e is more reliable and simple.

As shown in FIG. 6, an eccentric protruding platform is provided on a surface of the lower flange 12, and the surface of the lower flange 12 faces the piston sleeve 40. The eccentric protruding platform can limit and stop the lower end of the piston sleeve 40 to prevent the lower end of the piston sleeve 40 from moving in the radial direction relative to the lower flange 12.

Third Embodiment

The pump body assembly of the third embodiment differs from that of the second embodiment in that structure of the piston sleeve 40 is different.

As shown in FIGS. 10-15, a position-limiting part 112 is provided on the lower end surface of the upper flange 11, and extends towards the piston sleeve 40. The piston sleeve 40 is limited and stopped by the position-limiting part 112, to prevent the piston sleeve 40 from moving in the radial direction relative to the upper flange 11. Where, the upper end surface of the piston sleeve 40 has a first position-limiting groove 42, and the position-limiting part 112 extends into the first position-limiting groove 42, to limit and stop the first position-limiting groove 42. In this case, the position-limiting part 112 of the upper flange 11 extends into the first position-limiting groove 42 of the piston sleeve 40, and the position-limiting part 112 limits and stops the first position-limiting groove 42, achieving, by the upper flange 11, the position limitation to the piston sleeve 40 in the radial direction, preventing the piston sleeve 40 from moving in the radial direction, realizing, by the upper flange 11, the position limitation to and the support for the upper end of the piston sleeve 40, preventing the piston sleeve 40 from rotating eccentrically and aslant, ensuring the pump body assembly to operate normally, and improving the working reliability of the pump body assembly.

As shown in FIG. 10, the position-limiting part 112, the first position-limiting groove 42, and the piston sleeve 40 are coaxially arranged. Where, the position-limiting part 112 and the upper flange 11 are eccentrically arranged, and the eccentricity is e. In this case, the eccentricity of the pump body assembly is determined in the above manner, making it easier to guarantee the eccentricity of the pump body assembly, and the determination of the eccentricity e is more reliable and simpler.

Fourth Embodiment

The pump body assembly of the fourth embodiment differs from that of the first embodiment in that the structure of the lower flange 12 is different.

As shown in FIG. 16 to FIG. 21, a position-limiting protrusion 43 is provided on a lower end surface of the piston sleeve 40, and the position-limiting protrusion 43 fits and limits another structure member located below the cylinder 20 thus preventing the piston sleeve 40 from moving in the radial direction relative to the other structure member. Where the other structure member located below the cylinder 20 is a lower flange 12. In this case, the position-limiting protrusion 43 of the piston sleeve 40 fits the lower flange 12, to limit the position of the piston sleeve 40 in the radial direction. At the same time, the upper end of the piston sleeve 40 is limited and supported by the upper flange 11, so that both the upper end and the lower end of the piston sleeve 40 are limited and supported, thus avoiding structural interference between the piston sleeve 40 and the piston 50 or cylinder 20, which will affect the normal operation of the pump body assembly, and improving the operation reliability and the working performance of the pump body assembly.

As shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, a second position-limiting groove 121 is provided on the surface of the lower flange 12, and the surface of the lower flange 12 faces the piston sleeve 40. The position-limiting protrusion 43 extends into the second position-limiting groove 121 to prevent the piston sleeve 40 from moving in the radial direction relative to the lower flange 12. Specifically, the second position-limiting groove 121 is eccentrically arranged on the lower flange 12, and the position-limiting protrusion 43 extends into the second position-limiting groove 121, realizing, by the lower flange 12, the position limitation and a stop to the piston sleeve 40.

Fifth Embodiment

The pump body assembly of the fifth embodiment differs from that of the fourth embodiment in that the structure of the pump body assembly is different.

As shown in FIGS. 22 to 25, the two structure members include the lower flange 12 located below the piston assembly; the position-limiting protrusion 43 is provided on the surface of the piston sleeve 40, and the surface of the piston sleeve faces the lower flange 12. The pump body assembly further includes a lower friction-reducing ring 60 arranged inside the cylinder 20. The lower friction-reducing ring 60 has a central hole, and the position-limiting protrusion 43 extends into the central hole, and is limited and stopped by the lower flange 12, to prevent the piston sleeve 40 from moving in the radial direction relative to the lower flange 12. In this case, the central hole of the lower friction-reducing ring 60 fits and limits the position-limiting protrusion 43 of the piston sleeve 40, and accordingly, the lower friction-reducing ring 60 realizes the position limitation to the piston sleeve 40 in the radial direction, limiting and stopping the lower end of the piston sleeve 40. At the same time, the upper end of the piston sleeve 40 is supported by the upper flange 11, so that both the upper end and the lower end of the piston sleeve 40 are limited and supported, avoiding structural interference between the piston sleeve 40 and the piston 50 or cylinder 20, which will affect the normal operation of the pump body assembly, and improving the working reliability of the pump body assembly.

Specifically, an outer surface of the lower friction-reducing ring 60 fits the inner circular surface of the cylinder 20, and an inner surface of the lower friction-reducing ring 60 fits the position-limiting protrusion 43 of the piston sleeve 40. The lower friction-reducing ring 60 rotates relative to the cylinder 20 and the position-limiting protrusion 43, and a rotation speed of the lower friction-reducing ring 60 relative to the cylinder 20 and a rotation speed of the lower friction-reducing ring 60 relative to the position-limiting protrusion 43 are less than a rotation speed of the rotation shaft 30. As power consumption of the friction pairs is proportional to square of the rotation speed, the power consumption of the pump body assembly is reduced.

In this embodiment, the position-limiting protrusion 43 is a protruding ring extending toward the lower flange 12, and the protruding ring and the piston sleeve 40 are coaxially arranged. Specifically, in the process of limiting and stopping the protruding ring by the lower flange 12, the protruding ring makes a force exerted on the piston sleeve 40 more uniform and stable, making the piston sleeve 40 operate more stably, and improving the operation reliability of the pump body assembly.

It should be noted that the structure of the position-limiting protrusion 43 is not limited to such. In one embodiment, the position-limiting protrusion 43 includes a plurality of protruding platforms extending toward the lower flange 12, and the plurality of protruding platforms are arranged at intervals along a circumference of the piston sleeve 40. The above arrangement can not only make quality of the piston sleeve 40 reduced, but also make the structure of the piston sleeve 40 simpler, reducing processing costs of the piston sleeve 40.

As shown in FIG. 22, FIG. 23 and FIG. 25, a second extended part 122 is provided on the surface of the lower flange 12, and the surface of the lower flange 12 faces the piston sleeve 40. The second extended part 122 limits and stops the position-limiting protrusion 43, to prevent the piston sleeve 40 from moving in the radial direction relative to the lower flange 12. Specifically, a side surface of the second extended part 122 fits and limits a side surface of the position-limiting protrusion 43, preventing a relative radial displacement there between, further preventing the piston sleeve 40 from moving in the radial direction relative to the lower flange 12, ensuring the piston sleeve 40 to operate stably, and improving the operation reliability and the working efficiency of the pump body assembly.

As shown in FIG. 23, the second extended part 122 is located outside the position-limiting protrusion 43. Specifically, an inner side surface of the second extended part 122 limits and stops a side surface of the position-limiting protrusion 43, and the side surface of the position-limiting protrusion 43 is far away from the center of the piston sleeve, thus preventing a radial displacement there between.

In one embodiment, there is a second predetermined distance between the inner side surface of the second extended part 122 and the side surface of the position-limiting protrusion 43 away from the center of the piston sleeve 40, and the second predetermined distance is greater than or equal to 5 um, and less than or equal to 40 um. In this case, the above numerical range not only ensures that the second extended part 122 can limit the position-limiting protrusion 43 in the radial direction, but also enables the position-limiting protrusion 43 to rotate relative to the second extended part 122, improving the operation reliability of the pump body assembly.

In other embodiments not shown in the drawings, the second extended part is located inside the position-limiting protrusion. Specifically, an outer side surface of the second extended part limits and stops a side surface of the position-limiting protrusion, and the side surface of the position-limiting protrusion is adjacent to the center of the piston sleeve, preventing a radial displacement there between.

Sixth Embodiment

The pump body assembly of the sixth embodiment differs from that of the fifth embodiment in that the structure of the lower flange 12 is different.

In this embodiment, a second position-limiting groove is provided on the surface of the lower flange, and the surface of the lower flange faces the piston sleeve, and the position-limiting protrusion extends into the second position-limiting groove to prevent the piston sleeve from moving in the radial direction relative to the lower flange. In this case, the position-limiting protrusion not only fits and is limited by the central hole of the lower friction-reducing ring, but also fits the second position-limiting groove of the lower flange, further improving the operation stability of the piston sleeve.

In one embodiment, the second position-limiting groove is eccentrically arranged on the lower flange, and the eccentricity is e.

Seventh Embodiment

The pump body assembly of the seventh embodiment differs from that of the fourth embodiment in that the structure of the pump body assembly is different.

As shown in FIGS. 26 to 28, the structure members further include the lower flange 12 and a lower position-limiting plate 13. The lower position-limiting plate 13 and the lower flange 12 are both disposed below the cylinder 20, and the lower position-limiting plate 13 is disposed between the cylinder 20 and the lower flange 12. The position-limiting protrusion 43 is limited and stopped by the lower position-limiting plate 13, to prevent the piston sleeve 40 from moving in the radial direction relative to the lower position-limiting plate 13. In this case, the position-limiting protrusion 43 of the piston sleeve 40 fits and is limited by the lower position-limiting plate 13 in the radial direction. At the same time, the upper end of the piston sleeve 40 is limited and supported by the upper flange 11, so that both the upper end and the lower end of the piston sleeve 40 are limited and supported, avoiding structural interference between the piston sleeve 40 and the piston 50 or the cylinder 20, which will affect the normal operation of the pump body assembly, and improving the operation reliability and the working performance of the pump body assembly.

As shown in FIG. 27, the position-limiting protrusion 43 extends into the central hole of the lower position-limiting plate 13, fits and is limited by the inner surface of the central hole of the lower position-limiting plate 13. Specifically, the lower position-limiting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the lower flange 12, and the outer surface of the position-limiting protrusion 43 is limited and stopped by the inner surface of the central hole, realizing, by the upper flange, the position limitation and the stop to the position-limiting protrusion 43 (piston sleeve 40), preventing the piston sleeve 40 from moving in the radial direction relative to the lower position-limiting plate 13 or the lower flange 12, and further improving the operation reliability of the pump body assembly.

Eighth Embodiment

The pump body assembly of the eighth embodiment differs from that of the seventh embodiment in that the structure of the lower position-limiting plate 13 is different.

In this embodiment, a surface of the lower position-limiting plate, which faces a surface of the piston sleeve, has a third position-limiting groove, and the position-limiting protrusion extends into the third position-limiting groove, and is limited and stopped by the third position-limiting groove. Specifically, the position-limiting protrusion fits a groove wall of the third position-limiting groove, to realize, by the lower position-limiting plate, the position limitation to the piston sleeve, making the piston sleeve operate more stably, and improving the operation reliability of the pump body assembly.

In one embodiment, the third position-limiting groove is a ring-shaped groove, and the ring-shaped groove and the central hole of the lower position-limiting plate are arranged coaxially.

From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiments of the present disclosure may achieve the following results:

during the operation of the pump body assembly, the upper end of the piston sleeve is limited and supported by the structure member disposed there above, preventing the piston sleeve from moving in the radial direction during operation, ensuring that the piston sleeve can rotate normally, and solving the problem known to the inventors that the working efficiency of the pump body assembly is affected because the piston sleeve of the pump body assembly is prone to rotate eccentrically, and improving the operation reliability and the working performance of the pump body assembly.

As such, the embodiment described above is only a part of the embodiment of the present disclosure, rather than the entire embodiment.

Apparently, the embodiments described above are merely part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure.
