Description

  The present invention relates to a compressor including an electric element and a compression element in a hermetic container, and more particularly to a hermetic rotary compressor having improved piston and shaft shapes.

In recent years, household appliances have been required to save energy because of increasing awareness of environmental issues and energy concerns. Above all, energy-saving standard values are set for air conditioners with long operating hours, and the demand is increasing year by year. And most of the power consumption of the air conditioner is occupied by the compressor, and it is necessary to further increase the efficiency of the compressor in order to improve the energy saving performance of the air conditioner.

  A conventional hermetic rotary compressor will be described with reference to FIGS. A sealed container 1, a cylinder 2 having a vane groove 2 a, a shaft 31 having an eccentric shaft 31 a, and a piston 41 that is rotatably fitted to the eccentric shaft 31 a of the shaft 31 and rotates eccentrically inside the cylinder 2. . Further, the vane 5 is disposed in the vane groove 2a of the cylinder 2 and reciprocates in the vane groove 2a while contacting the tip of the piston 41. The upper bearing 6 and the lower bearing 6 are disposed so as to sandwich the cylinder 2, the piston 41, and the vane 5. The compression mechanism part which consists of the bearing 7 is provided (for example, refer patent document 1).

  FIG. 12 is a sectional view of the shaft 31 and the piston 41 in a hermetic rotary compressor having a conventional configuration. As shown in FIG. 12A, when the compression mechanism portion is assembled, φC1-φL-2Es> 0 among the eccentric amount Es of the shaft 31, the diameter φC1 of the shaft eccentric shaft 31a, and the diameter φL of the shaft lower shaft 31b. In this case, the shaft 31 and the piston 41 can be assembled. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12 (b), when the diameter of the shaft eccentric shaft 32a is reduced and φC2-φL-2Es ≦ 0, the upper end of the piston 42 is connected to the shaft lower shaft in the assembly process. It contacts the lower end of 32b. As a result, the assembly of the shaft 32 and the piston 42 was impossible.

  In the conventional hermetic rotary compressor, the diameter φC1 of the shaft eccentric shaft 31a cannot be reduced because the shaft 31 and the piston 41 can be assembled in the assembly of the compression mechanism. Since the diameter φC1 of the shaft eccentric shaft 31a is large, the sliding loss increases between the shaft eccentric shaft 31a and the inner periphery of the piston 41. As shown in FIG. 13, since the piston seal length 41a of the distance between the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the piston 41 is narrow, in the compression process, leakage loss due to refrigerant leakage from the high pressure side X to the low pressure side Y in the compression chamber occurs. It was increasing. As a result, the efficiency of the compressor was reduced due to both factors.

  The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a high-efficiency rotary compressor that has lower sliding loss and lower leakage loss than conventional ones.

In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, in the hermetic rotary compressor of the present invention, a hermetic container, a cylinder disposed inside the hermetic container, having a vane groove, a shaft having an eccentric shaft, and the shaft A piston that is rotatably fitted to an eccentric shaft and rotates eccentrically inside the cylinder, a vane that is disposed in the vane groove of the cylinder and reciprocates in the vane groove while contacting a tip of the piston, the cylinder, In a hermetic rotary compressor having a compression mechanism composed of an upper bearing and a lower bearing installed so as to sandwich a piston and vane, between the shaft eccentricity Es, the shaft eccentric shaft diameter φC, and the shaft lower shaft diameter φL. When φC−φL-2Es ≦ 0 holds, the inner diameter hole φD of the piston satisfies φD−φL-2Es> 0, and the shaft In the region of the distance A from the shift under axial upper end to the shaft eccentric shaft lower end, so that the distance from the shaft eccentric axis center does not exceed [phi] C / 2, a stepped shape provided in the lower bearing side of the piston and the shaft Further, from the upper end of the shaft lower shaft
A distance A to the lower end of the shaft eccentric shaft and an effective distance B for supporting the shaft eccentric shaft of the piston inner diameter hole are configured such that A <B.

Thereby, first, the upper end of the piston is inserted to the lower end of the shaft eccentric shaft, and then the piston center and the shaft eccentric shaft center are matched so that the stepped portion of the piston and the stepped portion of the shaft are overlapped , By tilting the piston center axis with respect to the shaft center axis, the stepped portion of the piston moves to the shaft eccentric shaft side of the stepped portion of the shaft, so the piston can be inserted into the shaft eccentric shaft And can be assembled .

In the hermetic rotary compressor of the present invention, the shaft-piston can be assembled even if φC−φL-2Es ≦ 0 among the shaft eccentricity Es, the shaft eccentric shaft diameter φC, and the shaft lower shaft diameter φL. Become. That is, since the shaft eccentric shaft diameter φC can be made smaller than that in the conventional configuration, the sliding loss between the shaft eccentric shaft and the piston inner periphery can be reduced. In addition, since the piston inner diameter φC is reduced, the piston seal length of the distance between the inner and outer diameters of the piston is increased, thereby reducing leakage loss due to refrigerant leakage from the high pressure side to the low pressure side in the compression chamber. can do. Further, by tilting the piston central axis with respect to the shaft central axis, the stepped portion of the piston moves to the shaft eccentric shaft side relative to the stepped portion of the shaft, so the distance A to the lower end of the shaft eccentric shaft and the piston inner diameter Even if the effective distance B for supporting the shaft eccentric shaft of the hole is A <B, the piston can be inserted into the shaft eccentric shaft. As a result, since the piston can be assembled to the shaft and the height of the shaft eccentric shaft can be further increased, the stress generated on the shaft eccentric shaft during operation of the compressor can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to provide a highly efficient and highly reliable rotary compressor that has lower sliding loss and lower leakage loss than conventional ones .

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sealed container, a cylinder disposed inside the sealed container, having a vane groove, a shaft having an eccentric shaft, and rotatably fitted to the eccentric shaft of the shaft. A piston that rotates eccentrically, a vane that is disposed in the vane groove of the cylinder and reciprocates in the vane groove while contacting a tip of the piston, an upper bearing that is disposed so as to sandwich the cylinder, piston, and vane, and a lower bearing In a hermetic compressor having a compression mechanism composed of a bearing, when φC−φL−2Es ≦ 0 holds among the shaft eccentricity Es, the shaft eccentric shaft diameter φC, and the shaft lower shaft diameter φL, the piston inner diameter Counterbore hole φD satisfies φD−φL-2Es> 0, and the shaft is at a distance A from the upper end of the shaft lower shaft to the lower end of the shaft eccentric shaft. As the distance from the shaft eccentric axis center does not exceed [phi] C / 2, the distance A of the piston and the stepped portion is provided on the lower bearing side of the shaft, from further the shaft under axial upper end to the shaft eccentric shaft lower end The effective distance B for supporting the shaft eccentric shaft of the piston bore is A <B.

  In the hermetic compressor configured as described above, first, the upper end of the piston is inserted to the lower end of the shaft eccentric shaft, and then the piston center and the stepped portion of the shaft are overlapped with each other. It is possible to assemble by aligning the shaft eccentric shaft centers and finally inserting the piston into the shaft eccentric shaft in the shaft central axis direction. As a result, the shaft and piston can be assembled even when the shaft eccentric amount Es, the shaft eccentric shaft diameter φC, and the shaft lower shaft diameter φL is φC−φL-2Es ≦ 0, and the shaft eccentricity is more than the conventional configuration. Since the shaft diameter φC can be reduced, sliding loss between the shaft eccentric shaft and the piston inner periphery can be reduced.

  In addition, since the piston inner diameter φC also becomes smaller, the piston seal length of the distance between the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the piston becomes wider, so that leakage loss due to refrigerant leakage from the high pressure side to the low pressure side in the compression chamber is reduced in the compression process. Can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to provide a high-efficiency rotary compressor that has lower sliding loss and lower leakage loss than conventional ones.

Further, the distance A from the upper end of the shaft lower shaft to the lower end of the shaft eccentric shaft and the effective distance B for supporting the shaft eccentric shaft of the piston inner diameter hole are set to satisfy A <B .

Thus, in the assembly of the shaft and the piston, first, the upper end of the piston is inserted to the lower end of the shaft eccentric shaft, and when the stepped shapes of the piston and the shaft are subsequently overlapped, Since the distance A and the distance B are A <B, insertion is impossible in terms of dimensions, but by tilting the piston center axis with respect to the shaft center axis, the piston stepped portion is more than the shaft stepped portion. Since it moves to the shaft eccentric shaft side, it can be inserted. As a result, since the piston can be assembled to the shaft and the height of the shaft eccentric shaft can be further increased, the stress generated on the shaft eccentric shaft during operation of the compressor can be reduced. Result, it is possible to provide a highly reliable rotary compressor further.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a hermetic rotary compressor according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, this invention is not limited by embodiment described below.

FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of the shaft and piston. When φC−φL-2Es ≦ 0 holds among the shaft eccentricity Es, the eccentric shaft 3a diameter φC, and the shaft lower shaft 3b diameter φL, the counterbore hole φD of the inner diameter of the piston 4 satisfies φD−φL-2Es> 0, and In the region of the distance A from the shaft lower shaft 3b to the eccentric shaft 3a, a stepped shape 100 is formed on the piston 4 and the lower bearing 7 side of the shaft 3 so that the distance E from the center of the eccentric shaft does not exceed φC / 2 . 5) .

  In the hermetic rotary compressor configured as described above, even when φC−φL−2Es ≦ 0 among the shaft eccentricity Es, the eccentric shaft 3a diameter φC, and the shaft lower shaft 3b diameter φL, FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the shaft and the piston can be assembled. First, the upper end of the piston 4 is inserted to the lower end of the eccentric shaft 3a (FIG. 4 (a)), and then the piston central axis and the shaft so that the stepped portion Ha of the piston 4 and the stepped portion Hb of the shaft 3 overlap each other. By aligning the eccentric shaft (FIG. 4B) and finally inserting the piston 4 into the eccentric shaft 3a in the direction of the shaft center axis (FIG. 4C), the shaft and the piston can be assembled. Become.

  In this way, even when the eccentric shaft 3a is made smaller, the shaft 3 and the piston 4 can be assembled. Therefore, the eccentric shaft 3a diameter φC can be made smaller than that of the conventional configuration, and the eccentric shaft 3a Sliding loss between the inner circumferences of the pistons 4 can be reduced.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6 showing a cross-sectional view of the compression chamber of the present embodiment and FIG. 13 showing a cross-sectional view of the conventional compression chamber, the inner diameter of the piston also decreases from φC1 to φC. The piston seal length 4a of the distance between the inner diameter and the outer diameter is wider than 41a which is the distance of the conventional embodiment. Thereby, in a compression process, the leak loss by the refrigerant | coolant leak from the high voltage | pressure side X to the low voltage | pressure side Y in a compression chamber can be reduced.

  As described above, it is possible to provide a high-efficiency rotary compressor that has lower sliding loss and lower leakage loss than conventional ones.

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the shaft 3 and the piston 4 in the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, φC−φL−2Es ≦ 0 holds among the shaft eccentricity Es, the eccentric shaft 3a diameter φC, and the shaft lower shaft 3b diameter φL, and the counterbore hole φD of the inner diameter of the piston 4 is φD−φL-2Es.

ΦC−φL−2Es ≦ 0 between the shaft eccentricity Es, the eccentric shaft 3a diameter φC, and the shaft lower shaft 3b diameter φL, and the distance A from the shaft lower shaft 3b to the eccentric shaft 3a and the inner diameter hole of the piston 4 Even if the effective distance B for supporting the eccentric shaft 3a is A <B, the piston 4 can be assembled to the shaft 3 as shown in FIG. That is, first, the upper end of the piston 4 is inserted to the lower end of the eccentric shaft 3a (FIG. 8A). Subsequently, when the stepped shapes of the piston 4 and the shaft 3 are overlapped, since A <B, it is impossible to insert the piston 4 center axis when the center axes are parallel to each other. Since the piston stepped portion Ia moves to the eccentric shaft 3a side rather than the shaft stepped portion Ib by tilting with respect to the three central axes (FIGS. 8B and 9), the piston 4 is attached to the eccentric shaft 3a. Can be inserted (FIG. 8C). Finally, the piston 4 is inserted into the eccentric shaft 3a in the direction of the central axis of the shaft 3 (FIG. 8D). Thereby, the height of the eccentric shaft 3a can be made higher than that of the first embodiment. As a result, the stress generated in the eccentric shaft 3a is reduced, and a more reliable rotary compressor can be provided while obtaining the same effect as that of the first invention.
