Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)

This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2017-0123777, filed in Korea on Sep. 25, 2017, whose disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

1. Field

A reciprocating type compressor is disclosed herein.

2. Background

A compressor may be used in a vapor compression type refrigeration cycle such as a refrigerator or an air conditioner. Compressors may include a motor portion that generates power from an interior of a hermetic container and a compression portion that operates by receiving power from the motor portion.

Such a compressor may be divided into a reciprocating type, a rotary type, a vane type, and a scroll type depending on a method of compressing a refrigerant. Among them, the reciprocating type compressor may include a connecting rod coupled to a crank shaft of the motor portion and a piston coupled to the connecting rod so that a rotational force of the motor portion is converted into a linear motion of the piston.

For this purpose, one end of the connecting rod may be rotatably coupled to a pin of the crank shaft, and the other end of the connecting rod may be rotatably coupled to the piston. However, the connecting rod may be divided into a part connected to the crank shaft and a part connected to the piston and an additional part for coupling these parts may be used, thereby resulting in inconvenience in assembly. However, a frictional resistance may be present among the crank shaft, the connecting rod, and the piston, which may cause a problem that performance of the compressor is degraded or a life of a part is shortened.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A compressor may refer to a compressor applied to a vapor compression type refrigeration cycle such as a refrigerator or an air conditioner. FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a configuration of a reciprocating type compressor according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1, a reciprocating type compressor 1 according to an embodiment may include a motor portion 100 and a compression portion 200. In other words, the reciprocating type compressor 1 may include the motor portion (or motor) 100 installed within a hermetic container 10 to perform forward and reverse rotation, and the compression portion or assembly 200 installed at an upper side of the motor portion 100 to compress a refrigerant by receiving a rotational force from the motor portion 100.

The motor portion 100 may use a constant-speed motor or an inverter motor capable of performing normal rotation and reverse rotation. The motor portion 100 may include a stator 110 supported by a frame 20 within the hermetic container 10, a rotor 120 rotatably installed at an inner side of the stator 110, and a crank shaft 130 that transfers a rotational force of the rotor 120 to the compression portion 200.

A pin portion (or pin) 131 of the crank shaft 130 may be coupled to a connecting rod 230. The connecting rod 230 may receive a rotational force of the crank shaft 130 and may allow a piston 220 coupled to an opposite side of the crank shaft 130 to linearly move (that is, a linear reciprocating motion) within a cylinder 210.

An oil passage 133 may be formed within the crank shaft 130 in a longitudinal direction of the shaft. The oil passage 133 may not be limited to a shown shape and may have various shapes different from it. The compression portion 200 may include the cylinder 210, the piston 220, the connection rod 230, and a valve assembly 250.

The cylinder 210 may include a compression space having a predetermined size, and may be arranged at an upper side of the hermetic container 10. The cylinder 210 may be formed in a cylindrical shape and may be formed integrally with a frame 20 or assembled to a frame 20 and coupled thereto.

The piston 220 may compress a refrigerant while linearly reciprocating within a compression space of the cylinder 211. The piston 220 may have a cylindrical shape having a closed end, and may be rotatably coupled to a piston connecting portion 235 of the connecting rod 230 by using a fastening pin 221. In this way, a coupling between the piston 220 and the connecting rod 230 may be formed.

A first end of the connecting rod 230 may be coupled to the pin portion 131 of the crank shaft 130, and a second end of the connecting rod 230 may be coupled to the piston 220. The connecting rod 230 may convert a rotational force of the crank shaft 130 into a linear motion of the piston 220.

The valve assembly 250 may be coupled to the cylinder 211, and may further include a plurality of valves that include a suction valve and a discharge valve. Meanwhile, a suction muffler, a discharge cover, and a discharge muffler, for example, may be further added in the compression portion 200.

FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are a perspective view and a top view schematically illustrating a coupling shape of a crank shaft, a connecting rod, and a piston included in a reciprocating type compressor according to an embodiment. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line “IV-IV” of FIG. 2.

Referring to FIG. 2 to 4, the first end of the shown connecting rod 230 may be coupled to the pin portion 131 of a crank shaft 130 and the second end thereof may be coupled to the piston 220. The connecting rod 230 may convert a rotational force of the crank shaft 130 into a linear motion of the piston 220.

For this purpose, the connecting rod 230 may include a shaft connecting portion (or first end or shaft connector) 231 that is connected to the pin portion 131 of the crank shaft 130, a piston connecting portion (or second end) 235 that is connected to the piston 220, and a rod portion (or main body) 233 that is connected between the shaft connecting portion 231 and the piston connecting portion 235. The shaft connecting portion 231 may include a tubular body 231a that includes a pin insertion hollow 231c into which the pin portion 131 of the crank shaft 130 is inserted.

The tubular body 231a may include a socket portion (or socket) 231b. A specific shape of the socket portion 231b may project outward from a circumferential surface of the tubular body 231a and may project so as to have a size and shape capable of storing a ball bearing or joint 233a. In other words, the ball bearing 233a provided at a first end of the rod portion 233 may be received inside of the socket portion 231a. Because of the ball bearing 233a, a frictional resistance of the rod portion 233 that is connected to the tubular body 231a may be greatly reduced.

The piston connecting portion 235 may be formed at an opposite side of the shaft connecting portion 231. The piston connecting portion 235 may be connected to the piston 220 by a coupling of a fastening pin 221 (see FIG. 4) that is inserted through the piston 220. For this purpose, the fastening pin 221 (see FIG. 4) may have an annular shape so as to be fitted and fixed within the piston.

The rod portion 233 may be connected in a rod-shape between the shaft connecting portion 231 and the piston connecting portion 235. The ball bearing 233a that is provided at the first end may be received in the socket portion 231b of the shaft connecting portion 231.

Accordingly, the connecting rod 230 included in a reciprocating type compressor 1 according to the embodiment may be connected between the pin portion 131 of the crank shaft 130 and the ball piston 220, and may convert the rotational force of the crank shaft 130 into the linear motion of the piston 220. Further, by using the ball bearing 233a at a connecting portion between the pin portion 131 of the crank shaft 130 and the connecting rod 230, it may be possible to apply a ball joint structure to reduce a frictional resistance.

According to the above configuration, the reciprocating type compressor 1 according to an embodiment may further include a bushing bearing 240 that is interposed between the tubular body 231a and the pin portion 131. The bushing bearing (or bushing) 240 may be inserted through a pin insertion hollow 231c (see FIG. 4) so that it is closely contacted to an inner circumferential surface of a tubular body 231a, and it may be closely contacted between the tubular body 231a and the pin portion 131.

As shown in FIG. 4, the bushing bearing 240 may contact the ball bearing 233a that is received inside of the socket portion 231b through an outer circumferential surface to prevent a disengagement of the ball bearing 233a. Next, a process of assembling a reciprocating type compressor 1 according to an embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8.

FIG. 5 is a view illustrating a process of assembling a connecting rod included in a reciprocating type compressor according to an embodiment. Referring to FIG. 5, in assembling the connecting rod 230 according to an embodiment, the shaft connecting portion 231 that includes the tubular body 231a and the rod portion 233 that has the ball bearing 233a at the first end thereof may be prepared.

The tubular body 231a may refer to a tubular member that is provided with a pin insertion hollow 231c into which a pin portion 131 (see FIG. 4) of a crank shaft 130 (see FIG. 4) may be inserted. The tubular body 231a may include the socket portion 231b that projects outwardly from a circumferential surface of the tubular body 231a. The socket portion 231b may have a size and a shape capable of receiving the ball bearing 233a that is provided at the first end of the rod portion 233.

The tubular body 231a may include two holes (hereinafter; the first and second insertion holes 231d and 231e) that face each other in a direction that intersects the pin insertion hollow 231c. The first insertion hole 231d may be provided at an opposite side of the socket portion 231b. The first insertion hole 231d may have a size such that the entire rod portion 233 that includes the ball bearing 233a at the first end thereof may pass therethrough.

According to this configuration, the entire rod portion 233 that includes the ball bearing 233a may pass through the first insertion hole 231d and enter toward the socket portion 231b. Specifically, the first insertion hole 231d may be a circular hole. A diameter D2 of the first insertion hole 231d may be equal to or greater than a diameter D1 of the ball bearing 233a. In other words, the first insertion hole 231d may have a size and a shape such that the ball bearing 233a may be inserted smoothly.

The second insertion hole 231e may be formed at the center of a projection portion of the socket portion 231b and may face the first insertion hole 231d. FIG. 6 is a view illustrating a process of assembling a bushing bearing to a connecting rod included in a reciprocating type compressor according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 6, the rod portion 233 and the piston connecting portion 235 inserted through a first insertion hole 231d may be inserted through a second insertion hole 231e. However, at this time, only the ball bearing 233a may not pass through the second insertion hole 231e and a position thereof may be confined to the socket portion 231b and may be received thereto.

In other words, the second insertion hole 231e may have a size such that both the rod portion 233 and the piston connecting portion 235 except the ball bearing 233a may be inserted therethrough. Therefore, only the ball bearing 233a may be received in the socket portion 231b.

FIG. 7 is a front view as viewed from a direction of “View A” in FIG. 6. Referring to FIG. 7, a second insertion hole 231e may have a shape corresponding to a frontal shape of a piston connecting portion 235. For example, the second insertion hole 231e may have a shape that is equal to or larger than the frontal cross-sectional shape of the piston connecting portion 235 (that is, L1<L2).

The second insertion hole 231e may have a rectangular hole shape rounded at each corner. As the second insertion hole 231e has such a shape, an entire rod portion except the ball bearing 233a, including the piston connecting portion 235, may be inserted through the second insertion hole 231e. Therefore, a ball joint type coupling may be made.

Referring to FIG. 6, the ball bearing 233a may be received in or at an inner side of the socket portion 231b, and then, the bushing bearing 240 may be inserted into the tubular body 231a through the pin insertion hollow 231c. FIG. 8 is a view illustrating a process of coupling a connecting rod and a crank shaft included in a reciprocating type compressor according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 8, the ball bearing 233a may be received inside of the socket portion 231b of the shaft connecting portion 231 and the ball bearing 233a may be contacted by a coupling of the bushing bearing 240, and thus, a ball joint-type connection may be made. The pin portion 131 of the crank shaft 130 may be coupled through an inner hollow of the bushing bearing 240.

The piston 220 may be coupled to the second end of the rod portion 233 that is connected to the shaft connecting portion 231 in a ball joint manner. The fastening pin 221 may penetrate the piston 220 and the piston connecting portion 235 so that their coupling can be made.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view schematically illustrating a bushing bearing included in a reciprocating type compressor according to an embodiment. Referring to FIG. 9, the bushing bearing 240 may have a tubular shape and may include at least one oil supply hole 241 that is formed by penetrating an inner circumferential surface and an outer circumferential surface of the bushing bearing 240. As seen in FIG. 8, the outer circumferential surface of the bushing bearing 240 may contact the ball bearing 233a (see FIG. 8) and the pin portion 131 (see FIG. 8) may be inserted through the inner hollow.

FIG. 10 illustrates an operation where oil to lubricate a ball bearing is provided through an oil supply hole of a bushing bearing in a reciprocating type compressor according to an embodiment. Referring to FIG. 10, at least one or more of the oil supply hole 241, which penetrates an inner circumferential surface of the busing bearing 240 that the pin portion 131 may be inserted and an outer circumferential surface of the bushing bearing 240 that contacts the ball bearing 233a, may be provided.

At least one oil supply hole 241 may receive oil through the oil passage 133 of the crank shaft 130 during a compression (or an expansion) stroke of the piston 220 to lubricate the ball bearing 233a. At this time, a position of the oil passage 133 of the crank shaft 130 may be changed so that a supply stroke of oil may be appropriately adjusted.

As described above, according to a configuration and an operation of the embodiment, as the assembling of the crank shaft 130, the connecting rod 230, and the piston 220 may be simplified in the compressor, the assembling process may be simplified and the productivity of the product can be improved. Further, as the connection between the crank pin and the connecting rod may be possible through the ball joint and frictional resistance may be reduced, it may be possible to expect the performance improvement of the compressor.

Further, the durability life of the product can be increased. Further, a bushing may be added to lubricate a friction portion between the crank pin and the connecting rod, and lubricating oil may be provided through the oil supply hole of the crank shaft, thereby greatly reducing the frictional resistance.

A reciprocating type compressor according to an embodiment may include a crank shaft that is coupled to a rotor of a motor to transfer a rotational force, and a connecting rod that is coupled to a pin of the crank shaft to convert a rotational force of the crank shaft into a linear motion of a piston, and the connecting rod may include a shaft connecting portion that has a tubular body that is provided with a pin insertion hollow that a pin portion of the crank shaft is inserted and a socket portion that projects from the tubular body, and a piston connecting portion that is formed at an opposite side of the shaft connecting portion and coupled to the piston, and a rod portion that is formed between the shaft connecting portion and the piston connecting portion and has a ball bearing that is received in the socket portion.

At this time, in the tubular body, a first insertion hole capable of allowing the ball bearing to penetrate the tubular body may be provided at an opposite side of a position where the socket portion projects. The socket portion may be provided with a second insertion hole capable of penetrating the rod portion and the piston connecting portion, except the ball bearing.

Further, the first insertion hole may be a circular hole that has a diameter equal to or larger than a diameter of the ball bearing. The second insertion hole may be a rectangular hole that has a shape equal to or larger than a frontal shape of the piston connecting portion.

According to another embodiment, a reciprocating type compressor may include a crank shaft that is coupled to a rotor of a motor portion to transfer a rotational force; a connecting rod that is coupled to a pin portion of the crank shaft to convert a rotational force of the crank shaft into a linear motion of a piston; wherein the connecting rod may include a shaft connecting portion that has a tubular body that is provided with a pin insertion hollow that a pin portion of the crank shaft is inserted and a socket portion that projects from the tubular body, and a piston connecting portion that is formed at an opposite side of the shaft connecting portion and is coupled to the piston, and a rod portion that is formed between the shaft connecting portion and the piston connecting portion and has a ball bearing that is received in the socket portion, and may further include a bushing bearing that is inserted through the pin insertion hollow so that it is closely contacted to an inner circumferential surface of the tubular body and is interposed between the tubular body and the pin portion.

At this time, the bushing bearing may contact the ball bearing that is received in the socket portion through an outer circumferential surface. Further, the bushing bearing may include at least one oil supply hole that penetrates an inner circumferential surface where the pin portion is inserted and an outer circumferential surface that contacts the ball bearing. The bushing bearing may receive oil from an oil passage of the crank shaft by using at least one oil supply hole to use it to a lubrication of the ball bearing, thereby reducing a frictional resistance.

According to the reciprocating type compressor of the embodiments, as an assembly among the crank shaft, the connecting rod, and the piston may be simplified in the compressor, the assembling process may be simplified and the productivity of the product may be improved. Further, according to the reciprocating type compressor of the embodiments, a frictional resistance may be reduced through a fastening structure among the crank shaft, the connecting rod, and the piston. As a result, it may be possible to expect a performance improvement of the compressor. Further, a durability life of the product may be increased.
