Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a compressor flow channel, including a diffuser, a curved conduit 2 and a backflow device 3, where the diffuser and the backflow device 3 are arranged oppositely, an inlet of the curved conduit 2 is communicated with an outlet of the diffuser, and an outlet of the curved conduit 2 is communicated with an inlet of the backflow device 3; the diffuser is provided with a first inner side wall 11 and a first outer side wall 12 which are opposite, the bend 2 is provided with a second inner side wall 21 and a second outer side wall 22 which are opposite, and the return device 3 is provided with a third inner side wall 31 and a third outer side wall 32 which are opposite; the second inner side wall 21 comprises a first inner side arc wall section 211, an inner side straight wall section 212 and a second inner side arc wall section 213 which are connected in sequence, the second outer side wall 22 comprises a first outer side arc wall section 221, an outer side straight wall section 222 and a second outer side arc wall section 223 which are connected in sequence, and the projections of the inner side straight wall section 212 and the outer side straight wall section 222 on the section of the flow passage of the compressor are straight lines; the first inner and outer arc wall sections 211 and 221 are connected to the first inner and outer sidewalls 11 and 12, respectively, and the second inner and outer arc wall sections 213 and 223 are connected to the third inner and outer sidewalls 31 and 32, respectively.
It is understood that the first inner sidewall 11 and the first outer sidewall 12 form a diffuser flow passage; the second inner side wall 21 and the second outer side wall 22 form a curved flow passage; the third inner side wall 31 and the third outer side wall 32 form a reflux device flow channel; the compressor flow passage is formed when the first inner and outer arc wall sections 211 and 221 are connected to the first inner and outer side walls 11 and 12, respectively, and the second inner and outer arc wall sections 213 and 223 are connected to the third inner and outer side walls 31 and 32, respectively.
The diffuser, the curve 2, and the reflux unit 3 are flow passages through which air flows, the inner wall is a flow passage wall surface close to the central axis 4 of the compressor, the outer wall is a flow passage wall surface far from the central axis 4 of the compressor, the central axis 4 of the compressor is the central axis 4 of the main shaft of the compressor, and the impeller, the diffuser, the curve 2, and the reflux unit 3 of the compressor all have the central axis 4 of the compressor as installation axes. The flow passage cross section of the compressor flow passage is a cross section through the central axis 4 of the compressor.
The curve 2 includes a first curve flow path formed by the first inner side arc wall section 211 and the first outer side arc wall section 221, a direct flow path formed by the inner side straight wall section 212 and the outer side straight wall section 222, and a second curve flow path formed by the second inner side arc wall section 213 and the second outer side arc wall section 223. When the airflow enters the bend 2 through the diffuser outlet after being diffused by the diffuser, the airflow sequentially passes through the first turning flow channel, the straight flow channel and the second turning flow channel and finally enters the flow channel of the reflux device. When the airflow passes through the first turning flow channel, the airflow direction deflects 90 degrees along the clockwise (or anticlockwise) direction, when the airflow passes through the straight flow channel, the airflow direction basically keeps unchanged, and when the airflow passes through the second turning flow channel, the airflow direction deflects 90 degrees along the clockwise (or anticlockwise) direction, so that the airflow can complete 180-degree turning at the inner side of the bend 2.
Due to the design of the straight flow channel, compared with the prior art, the turning radian at the inlet of the bend 2 and the turning radian at the outlet of the bend 2 can be reduced, thereby avoiding the situation that the air flow turns too fast at the inner side of the bend 2, reducing the channel diffusion degree of the front half part of the bend 2 and the local diffusion degree near the inner side wall of the outlet of the bend 2, reducing the pressure loss of the air flow at the inner side of the bend 2, avoiding the air flow from generating larger separation loss at the inner side wall of the outlet of the bend 2, further effectively improving the inlet air flow condition and the work-doing capacity of the next-stage impeller, reducing the energy consumption of the compressor, and improving the working efficiency and the. In addition, the structure of the curve 2 can be flexibly adjusted by increasing or decreasing the length of the straight flow passage so as to adapt to the actual operation condition of the compressor.
It is understood that the projections of the four wall surfaces of the first inner side wall segment 211, the first outer side wall segment 221, the second inner side wall segment 213 and the second outer side wall segment 223 of the curve 2 on the flow passage section are all arcs.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the first inner side arc wall section 211, the second inner side arc wall section, the first outer side arc wall section 221, and the second outer side arc wall section 223 are arc sections, and the radius of curvature of the first inner side arc wall section 211, the second inner side arc wall section, the first outer side arc wall section 221, and the second outer side arc wall section 223 is larger than the radius of curvature of the prior art when the curve 2 adopts a concentric structure, that is, the turning radian at the inlet of the curve 2 and the turning radian at the outlet.
Further, the compressor flow passage is a revolving structure in which the central axis 4 of the compressor is a rotating shaft, that is, the diffuser, the curve 2 and the return passage are formed to rotate with the central axis 4 of the compressor as a center line.
In an alternative embodiment, the projection of the inner straight-wall section 212 on the flow passage cross section is a first horizontal straight line, the projection of the outer straight-wall section 222 on the flow passage cross section is a second horizontal straight line, the second horizontal straight line is parallel to the central axis 4 of the compressor, and the extension line of the first horizontal straight line forms an included angle of-20 degrees to 20 degrees with the central axis 4 of the compressor. In this case, the compressor can be adapted to different compressor models according to the change in the diameter of the straight passage formed by the first horizontal straight line and the second horizontal straight line.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 2, the first horizontal line and the second horizontal line are parallel, i.e. both parallel to the central axis 4 of the compressor, and the velocity of the gas in the straight flow channel is not changed, so that the compressor is suitable for models with moderate flow rate.
Optionally, the included angle between the extension line of the first transverse straight line and the central axis 4 of the compressor is-20 degrees to 0 degrees (excluding 0 degrees), and the straight flow channel gradually shrinks along the flowing direction of the airflow; when the air compressor is used, the air flow rate can be increased, the air compressor is suitable for models with small flow rate, and the work efficiency of the compressor is improved.
In actual use, the extension line of the first transverse straight line may form an angle of-15 °, -10 °, -5 °, or-1 °, etc., with the central axis 4 of the compressor.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 1, an included angle between an extension line of the first transverse straight line and the central axis 4 of the compressor is 0 ° to 20 ° (excluding 0 °), and at this time, the straight flow passage is gradually expanded along the flow direction of the gas flow, so that the gas flow velocity can be reduced, and the compressor is suitable for a machine type with a large flow velocity, and is helpful for pressurization.
In actual use, the angle between the extension line of the first horizontal line and the central axis 4 of the compressor may be 15 °, 10 °, 5 °, 1 °, or the like.
In an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the projection of the third inner sidewall 31 on the flow channel cross section is a first vertical line, the projection of the third outer sidewall 32 on the flow channel cross section is a second vertical line, and both the included angle between the extension line of the first vertical line and the central axis 4 of the compressor and the included angle between the extension line of the second vertical line and the central axis 4 of the compressor are 70-90 °. And the different compressor models can be adapted according to the drift diameter change of the return channel formed by the first vertical line and the second vertical line. When the included angle between the extension line of the first vertical line and the central axis 4 of the compressor and the included angle between the extension line of the second vertical line and the central axis 4 of the compressor are both 70-90 degrees, the airflow flowing into the reflux device 3 through the bend 2 can uniformly flow to the impeller of the next stage.
Optionally, an included angle between an extension line of the first vertical line and an extension line of the second vertical line is between 0 ° and 20 °, and the first vertical line and the second vertical line include two arrangement relationships, one arrangement relationship is that the first vertical line and the second vertical line are parallel, and the other arrangement relationship is that an acute angle is formed between the extension line of the first vertical line and the extension line of the second vertical line.
Referring to fig. 1, when the included angle between the first vertical line and the second vertical line is 0 °, that is, the first vertical line is parallel to the second vertical line, the drift diameter of the flow channel formed by the first vertical line and the second vertical line is not changed, and the speed of the air flow is kept unchanged when the air flow passes through the reflux unit 3. Preferably, the first vertical line and the second vertical line are both perpendicular to the central axis 4 when being parallel, which is helpful to reduce the turning radian and energy loss when the air flows through the return device 3 to the bottom impeller.
Referring to fig. 2, when an acute angle is formed between the extension line of the first vertical line and the extension line of the second vertical line, the first vertical line and the second vertical line form a flow passage with a gradually increasing drift diameter, that is, the reflux device 3 gradually expands, so that the flow rate of the airflow is reduced, the pressure is increased, and at this time, the reflux device 3 has a certain diffusion function, so as to adapt to the condition that the reflux device 3 needs to diffuse, for example, when the flow rate of the compressor is high, the energy utilization rate of the compressor is improved.
In actual use, an extension line of the second vertical line may be made perpendicular to the central axis 4 of the compressor, and an extension line of the first vertical line may be made at an acute angle, for example, 75 °, 77 °, 80 °, 85 °, 88 °, or the like, with respect to the central axis 4 of the compressor. At the moment, the optimization and improvement of the structure part of the existing diffuser are not needed, and the design period is shortened; meanwhile, the weight of the compressor is reduced, and the lightweight design of the compressor is realized.
Further, a blade (not shown) is disposed on the reflux unit 3, the blade is disposed at an outlet of the reflux unit 3, one end of the blade is connected to an outer side wall of the reflux unit 3, and the other end of the blade extends toward an inner side wall of the reflux unit 3 with a gap therebetween. The vanes of the reflux unit 3 may be those of the prior art, and the vane structure of the reflux unit 3 is not limited thereto.
The blades are arranged at the outlet of the reflux device 3, so that the airflow at the outlet of the reflux device 3 is as uniform as possible, and the problem of gas prewhirl when the gas enters the inlet of the next-stage impeller is avoided.
Preferably, the first inner side wall 11 and the first inner side arc-shaped wall section 211, the first inner side arc-shaped wall section 211 and the inner side straight-wall section 212, the inner side straight-wall section 212 and the second inner side arc-shaped wall section 213, and the second inner side arc-shaped wall section 213 and the third inner side wall are all connected tangentially or in a smooth transition manner, so as to avoid the unevenness of the connection part from affecting the pneumatic performance of the compressor.
Further, the first outer side wall 12 and the first outer side arc wall section 221, the first outer side arc wall section 221 and the outer side straight wall section 222, the outer side straight wall section 222 and the second outer side arc wall section 223, and the second outer side arc wall section 223 and the third outer side wall 32 are all connected tangentially or in a smooth transition manner, so as to avoid unevenness at the connection from affecting the aerodynamic performance of the compressor.

Compared with the prior art, the compressor flow channel in the embodiment of the invention can reduce the turning radian at the inlet of the curve 2 and the turning radian at the outlet of the curve 2, thereby avoiding the condition that airflow turns too fast at the inner side of the curve 2, reducing the channel diffusion degree of the front half part of the curve 2 and the local diffusion degree near the inner side wall of the outlet of the curve 2, reducing the pressure loss of the airflow at the inner side of the curve 2, avoiding the airflow from generating larger separation loss at the inner side wall of the outlet of the curve 2, further effectively improving the inlet airflow condition and the work-doing capacity of a next-stage impeller, reducing the energy consumption of the compressor, and improving the working efficiency and the stability of the compressor. In addition, the structure of the curve 2 can be flexibly adjusted by increasing or decreasing the length of the straight flow passage so as to adapt to the actual operation condition of the compressor.
