Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a sealed type multi-cylinder rotary compressor in
which it is possible to increase the capacity (the displacement) of the compressor
without increasing a motor core diameter.
Background Art
[0002] In a case of increasing the capacity of a sealed type rotary compressor, usually,
a mechanical load such as bearing surface pressure or blade side surface pressure
simply increases, and therefore, coping with this is performed by increasing a motor
core diameter (shell diameter) or a journal diameter by one level by using a proportional
design. However, an increase of the motor core diameter (shell diameter) or the journal
diameter is restricted by a manufacturing facility, and therefore, design is performed
by selection from a limited lineup. However, in a case of not having a compressor
having a motor core diameter (shell diameter) one level higher, great capital investment
is required.
[0003] Therefore, PTL 1 discloses a technique of allowing the displacement (the capacity)
of a compressor to be made to have a larger capacity without changing a motor core
diameter, in other words, without changing the external dimensions of the compressor.
This is a technique in which in a sealed type multi-cylinder rotary compressor, a
crankshaft is made to have a structure in which a plurality of portions are connected,
whereby an increase in capacity is performed by reducing an opening provided in a
partition plate separating a plurality of cylinders, providing a bearing for supporting
a connection portion in the opening portion, accordingly reducing the external diameters
of rotors rotating in the cylinders, and increasing the eccentricity of an eccentric
shaft portion (making a blade stroke be a longer stroke), thereby increasing the effective
capacity (displacement) in the cylinders.

Summary of Invention
Technical Problem
[0005] However, in the technique disclosed in PTL 1 described above, a structure in which
the crankshaft is separated into a plurality of portions and the portions are then
assembled has to be made, and therefore, the number of parts increases, and thus there
is a problem such as the number of processing steps or the number of assembly steps
increasing and complication of a configuration or higher cost being inevitable.
[0006] On the other hand, it is conceivable that a compressor having a displacement one
level higher could be manufactured by making a blade stroke be a longer stroke by
increasing the internal diameter of a cylinder, as a method of increasing capacity
(displacement) without changing a motor core diameter. However, in this case, as described
above, a mechanical load such as bearing surface pressure or a blade side surface
pressure increases, and therefore, there is a technical problem such as measures to
suppress an increase in the mechanical load becoming essential.
[0007] The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances and has an object
to provide a sealed type multi-cylinder rotary compressor in which it is possible
to manufacture a compressor having a displacement one level higher by suppressing
a mechanical load even if an increase in capacity is performed by increasing a cylinder
internal diameter with the existing motor core diameter maintained, without increasing
a motor core diameter.
Solution to Problem
[0008] In order to solve the above-described problems, a multi-cylinder rotary compressor
according to the present invention adopts the following means.
[0009] According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a multi-cylinder
rotary compressor including: a motor provided in a sealed container; and a compression
mechanism which is provided in the sealed container and driven by the motor, in which
the compression mechanism is a rotary compression mechanism provided with a plurality
of cylinders, a partition plate which separates the plurality of cylinders, a blade
which partitions the inside of each of the cylinders into an intake side and a discharge
side, and a rotor which rotates in each of the cylinders, and when a core diameter
of the motor is set to be φMo, an internal diameter of each of the cylinders is set
to be φDc, a width of each of the cylinders is set to Hc, and a width of the partition
plate is set to Hs, the relationship of Hs/Hc≤0.35 is satisfied under a condition
of φDc/φMo≥0.49.
[0010] According to the first aspect of the present invention, in the sealed type multi-cylinder
rotary compressor, it is possible to make the displacement of the compressor have
a larger capacity (an increased displacement) by making a blade stroke be a longer
stroke without changing the motor core diameter φMo and without much increasing a
gas load (a compression load), by making the ratio of the width Hs of the partition
plate to the width Hc of each cylinder be set to be 0.35 or less under a condition
in which the ratio of the internal diameter φDc of each cylinder to the core diameter
φMo of the motor is set to be 0.49 or more, and it is possible to suppress a rise
in bearing surface pressure by reducing a distance between support points of an upper
bearing and a lower bearing by making the width Hs of the partition plate as small
as possible with respect to the width Hc of the cylinder. Therefore, it is possible
to manufacture a sealed type multi-cylinder rotary compressor having a displacement
one level higher with the existing motor core diameter maintained, and thus it is
possible to attain the expansion of a product lineup without performing great capital
investment.
[0011] In the multi-cylinder rotary compressor according to a second aspect of the present
invention, the partition plate is made of a material having a Young's modulus of 160
[GPa] or more.
[0012] According to the second aspect of the present invention, the partition plate is configured
with a material having a Young's modulus of 160 [GPa] or more, and therefore, even
if the width Hs of the partition plate is reduced to 0.35 or less of the cylinder
width Hc, by using a material having a Young's modulus of 160 [GPa] or more which
is high compared to a sintered alloy or cast iron having a Young's modulus of 160
[GPa] or less, it is possible to reduce the distance between support points of the
bearings while suppressing the deformation of the partition plate. Therefore, it is
possible to suppress an increase of a mechanical load such as bearing surface pressure,
and thus it is possible to easily increase the displacement of the compressor to a
capacity one level higher without changing the motor core diameter.
[0013] In the multi-cylinder rotary compressor according to a third aspect of the present
invention, the partition plate is made of carbon steel or alloy steel.
[0014] According to the third aspect of the present invention, the partition plate is made
of carbon steel or alloy steel having a Young's modulus of 160 [GPa] or more, and
therefore, by using carbon steel or alloy steel having higher rigidity than a sintered
alloy or cast iron, it is possible to secure a Young's modulus of 160 [GPa] or more
and suppress deformation while reducing the width of the partition plate simply by
the selection of an appropriate material. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an
increase of a mechanical load such as bearing surface pressure, and thus it is possible
to easily increase the displacement of the compressor to a capacity one level higher
without changing the motor core diameter.
[0015] In the multi-cylinder rotary compressor according to a fourth aspect of the present
invention, the blade is a blade with a hard coating such as a PVD film of CrN type
or the like or a DLC film applied to the surface thereof.
[0016] According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the blade is a blade with
a hard coating such as a PVD film of CrN type or the like or a DLC film applied to
the surface thereof, and therefore, although blade side surface pressure rises due
to an increase in a blade stroke, the hard coating is applied to the blade surface,
whereby it is also possible to sufficiently cope with abnormal wear or the like due
to a rise in surface pressure. Therefore, it is possible to easily increase the displacement
of the compressor to a capacity one level higher without performing capital investment,
by increasing the cylinder internal diameter without changing the motor core diameter.
[0017] In the multi-cylinder rotary compressor according to a fifth aspect of the present
invention, refrigerant oil which is filled into a bottom portion in the sealed container
is refrigerant oil with an extreme pressure agent added thereto.
[0018] According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the refrigerant oil which
is filled into the bottom portion in the sealed container is refrigerant oil with
an extreme pressure agent added thereto, and therefore, although some increase of
the mechanical load such as the bearing surface pressure or the blade side surface
pressure according to an increase in the capacity of the compressor is inevitable
and it becomes easy for an extreme pressure lubrication state to occur in the sliding
portions, the extreme pressure agent which is effective under a high load is added
to the refrigerant oil, whereby it is possible to maintain high lubricity on a sliding
surface, thereby preventing seizure, wear, or scuffing. Therefore, it is also possible
to effectively cope with an increase of a mechanical load according to an increase
in the capacity of the compressor.
Advantageous Effects of Invention
[0019] According to the present invention, it is possible to make the displacement of the
compressor have a larger capacity (an increased displacement) by making the blade
stroke be a longer stroke without changing the motor core diameter φMo and without
much increasing the gas load (the compression load), and it is possible to suppress
a rise in bearing surface pressure by reducing the distance between support points
of the upper bearing and the lower bearing by making the width Hs of the partition
plate as small as possible with respect to the width Hc of the cylinder. For this
reason, it is possible to manufacture a sealed type multi-cylinder rotary compressor
having a displacement one level higher with the existing motor core diameter maintained,
and thus it is possible to attain the expansion of a product lineup without performing
great capital investment.

Description of Embodiments
[0021] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference
to Figs. 1 to 6.
[0022] In Fig. 1, a longitudinal sectional view of a multi-cylinder rotary compressor according
to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, and in Fig. 2, a cross-sectional
view showing the specifications of a compression mechanism section thereof is shown,
and in Fig. 3, a longitudinal sectional view showing the specifications of the compression
mechanism section is shown.
[0023] A multi-cylinder rotary compressor 1 according to this embodiment is a sealed type
multi-cylinder rotary compressor 1 which is provided with a cylindrical sealed container
2 in which an upper portion and a lower portion are hermetically sealed by an upper
cover 3 and a lower cover 4, a motor 5 is installed at a higher part in the inside
thereof, and a compression mechanism (a rotary compressor mechanism) 6 which is driven
by the motor 5 is installed at a lower part thereof.
[0024] A mounting leg 7 is provided at the outer periphery of the lower portion of the sealed
container 2. Further, a discharge pipe 8 penetrating the upper cover 3 is provided
in the upper portion of the sealed container 2, and thus a configuration is made in
which high-pressure refrigerant gas compressed in the multi-cylinder rotary compressor
1 is discharged to the refrigeration cycle side. In addition, an accumulator 9 is
integrally assembled to an outer peripheral portion of the sealed container 2, and
thus a configuration is made in which a liquid component such as oil or a liquid refrigerant
which is contained in low-pressure refrigerant gas which returns from the refrigeration
cycle side is separated out and only a gaseous component is sucked into the compression
mechanism 6 through suction pipes 10 and 11.
[0025] The motor 5 is provided with a stator 12 and a rotor 13, and the stator 12 is installed
by being fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the sealed container 2 by press
fitting or the like. A crankshaft 14 is integrally coupled to the rotor 13, whereby
a rotational driving force of the rotor 13 can be transmitted to the compression mechanism
6 through the crankshaft 14. Further, at a lower part of the crankshaft 14, a first
eccentric portion 15 and a second eccentric portion 16 are provided corresponding
to a first rotor 24 and a second rotor 25 of the rotary compression mechanism 6 which
will be described later.
[0026] The rotary compression mechanism 6 is of, in this embodiment, a two-cylinder type.
First and second rotary compression mechanisms 6A and 6B thereof are provided with
a first cylinder main body 19 and a second cylinder main body 20 which have a first
cylinder chamber 17 and a second cylinder chamber 18 (there is also a case of being
hereinafter referred to simply as cylinders 17 and 18) formed therein and are fixedly
installed in the sealed container 2 to correspond to the first eccentric portion 15
and the second eccentric portion 16 of the crankshaft 14, a partition plate (a separator
plate) 21 which is interposed between the first cylinder main body 19 and the second
cylinder main body 20, thereby separating the first cylinder chamber 17 and the second
cylinder chamber 18, an upper bearing 22 which is provided on the upper surface of
the first cylinder main body 19, thereby defining the first cylinder chamber 17 and
supporting the crankshaft 14, and a lower bearing 23 which is provided on the lower
surface of the second cylinder main body 20, thereby defining the second cylinder
chamber 18 and supporting the crankshaft 14.
[0027] Further, the first and second rotary compression mechanisms 6A and 6B are provided
with the first rotor 24 and the second rotor 25 which are rotatably fitted to the
first eccentric portion 15 and the second eccentric portion 16 and are rotated in
the first cylinder chamber 17 and the second cylinder chamber 18, and blades 28 and
29 (refer to Fig. 2) which are slidably fitted into blade grooves 26 and 27 (refer
to Fig. 2) provided in the first cylinder main body 19 and the second cylinder main
body 20 and partition the insides of the first cylinder chamber 17 and the second
cylinder chamber 18 into intake chamber sides and discharge chamber sides.
[0028] A configuration is made such that the low-pressure refrigerant gas is sucked from
the suction pipes 10 and 11 into the first cylinder chamber 17 and the second cylinder
chamber 18 of the first and second rotary compression mechanisms 6A and 6B through
suction ports 30 and 31, is compressed by the rotation of the first rotor 24 and the
second rotor 25, thereafter, is discharged into discharge chambers 32 and 33 through
discharge ports and discharge valves (not shown), is discharged from the discharge
chambers 32 and 33 into the sealed container 2, and thereafter, is sent out to the
refrigeration cycle through the discharge pipe 8.
[0029] The first cylinder main body 19 and the second cylinder main body 20, the partition
plate 21, the upper bearing 22, and the lower bearing 23 configuring the rotary compression
mechanism 6 are integrally fastened and fixed to each other through bolts. Further,
refrigerant oil 34 such as PAG oil or POE oil is filled in a bottom portion in the
sealed container 2 and can be fed to lubrication sites in the compression mechanism
6, as is known, through an oil feed hole or the like provided in the crankshaft 14.
An extreme pressure agent adapted to each of the oils is added to the refrigerant
oil 34 in an appropriate amount.
[0030] In the multi-cylinder rotary compressor 1 described above, in order to increase a
displacement (capacity) thereof to a capacity one level higher by increasing the internal
diameter of each of the first cylinder chamber 17 and the second cylinder chamber
18, that is, a cylinder internal diameter φDc, without changing a core diameter (a
shell diameter or an eternal diameter) φMo of the motor 5 which is already used in
a compressor in production, when a motor core diameter is set to be φMo and the cylinder
internal diameter of each of the first cylinder chamber 17 and the second cylinder
chamber 18 is set to be φDc, the cylinder internal diameter φDc is set so as to satisfy
the relationship of φDc/φMo≥0.49.
[0031] This is because in a rotary compressor during production in a current situation,
φDc/φMo which is the ratio between the motor core diameter φMo and the cylinder internal
diameter φDc generally mostly falls within a range of 0.35 to 0.45 and is 0.48 at
a maximum, as shown in Fig. 6. On the other hand, the relationship between a gas load
(a compression load) which becomes a mechanical load of a rotary compressor and φDc/φMo
forms a rightward and downward-sloping curve in a case where displacement is constant,
as shown in Fig. 4, and for this reason, it is found that even if the value of φDc/φMo
is increased by increasing the cylinder internal diameter φDc, the gas load (refer
to Fig. 3) does not increase and the mechanical load does not increase.
[0032] That is, it is apparent from Figs. 4 and 6 that even if in order to increase the
displacement of the rotary compressor 1 to a certain value, a blade stroke (a sliding
stroke of each of the blades 28 and 29) is made to be a longer stroke by increasing
the cylinder internal diameter φDc without changing the motor core diameter φMo, thereby
making φDc/φMo which is the ratio therebetween be 0.49 or more, the gas load (the
compression load) which is determined from a frontal projected area of a rotor, which
is the product of a rotor external diameter φDr and a rotor width Hr, is restricted
to a predetermined value or less with the frontal projected area of a rotor restricted.
[0033] Knowledge that if the gas load which determines the mechanical load can be restricted
to a certain value or less under the above-described conditions, the displacement
can be made to have a larger capacity by increasing the cylinder internal diameter
φDc without changing the motor core diameter φMo was obtained. That is, if the displacement
is made to have a larger capacity, as shown in Fig. 3, the gas load which is the mechanical
load increases, and thus the deformation amount of the crankshaft 14 increases, and
therefore, it becomes necessary to suppress the deformation of the crankshaft 14.
If the deformation amount of the crankshaft 14 increases, the degree of partial contact
of the shaft with the bearing increases, and thus bearing surface pressure increases.
The deformation amount of the crankshaft 14 depends on a distance between bearing
support points L between the upper bearing 22 and the lower bearing 23, and therefore,
it is found that making the distance between bearing support points L as small as
possible is effective in suppressing the bearing surface pressure.
[0034] In order to make the distance between bearing support points L small, it is favorable
if a width Hc of each of the first cylinder chamber 17 and the second cylinder chambers
18 (hereinafter referred to as a cylinder width Hc) and a width Hs of the partition
plate (the separator plate) 21 (hereinafter referred to as a partition plate width
Hs) are reduced. However, in increasing the displacement, it is difficult to reduce
the cylinder width Hc. Therefore, the partition plate width Hs is reduced. However,
as a result of the analysis of the relationship between the partition plate width
Hs and the cylinder width Hc, and the bearing surface pressure, when a graph with
Hs/Hc as the horizontal axis and the bearing surface pressure as the vertical axis
is made, as shown in Fig. 5, an rightward and upward-sloping curve is obtained, and
it is found that if Hs/Hc is set to be less than or equal to a predetermined value,
it is possible to make the bearing surface pressure be less than or equal to an allowable
value.
[0035] From the above, even if the relationship of φDc/φMo≥0.49 is satisfied by increasing
the cylinder internal diameter φDc without changing the motor core diameter φMo affecting
a manufacturing facility (the motor core diameter is restricted by a manufacturing
facility, and thus if the motor core diameter is increased, new capital investment
is required), if Hs/Hc is limited to the relationship of Hs/Hc≤0.35, it becomes possible
to make the displacement of the rotary compressor 1 have a larger capacity by suppressing
an increase in the bearing surface pressure which is the mechanical load. That is,
it becomes possible to easily manufacture the rotary compressor 1 having a displacement
one level higher by using an existing facility without new capital investment, with
the core diameter φMo of the motor 5 being the existing core diameter φMo in a hatching
area shown in Fig. 6.
[0036] In addition, as described above, if a partition plate made of sintered metal or cast
iron which has been used for the partition plate 21 in the past is used as it is by
reducing the width Hs of the partition plate 21, since these materials have a low
Young's modulus of 160 [GPa] or less, there is a possibility that deformation due
to a reduction in width may become a problem. Therefore, it is desirable that the
partition plate 21 is configured with a material having a Young's modulus of 160 [GPa]
or more, and it is favorable if, for example, carbon steel or alloy steel having a
Young's modulus of about 200 [GPa] is used.
[0037] Further, if the cylinder internal diameter φDc is increased, the stroke of each of
the blades 28 and 29 is increased according to this, thereby having to become a longer
stroke, and due to the blade stroke becoming a longer stroke, pressure which is applied
to the side surface of each of the blades 28 and 29 increases, and thus so-called
blade side surface pressure rises. In order to cope with this, it is desirable to
apply a hard coating such as a PVD film (a Physical Vapor Deposition film) of CrN
type or the like or a DLC film (a DiamondLike Carbon film), for example, to both side
surfaces of each of the blades 28 and 29 so as to be able to cope with abnormal wear
or the like due to a surface pressure rise.
[0038] In addition, although an attempt to suppress an increase in the mechanical load due
to making the displacement of the compressor have a larger capacity, as much as possible,
is made, some increase of the mechanical load such as the bearing surface pressure
or the blade side surface pressure is inevitable and it becomes easy for an extreme
pressure lubrication state to occur in sliding portions such as the bearings 22 and
23, the blades 28 and 29, or the rotors 24 and 25. In order to cope with this, it
is desirable that the extreme pressure agent which is effective under a high load,
as described above, is added to the refrigerant oil 34 filled in the bottom portion
in the sealed container 2, in an appropriate amount.
[0039] Due to the configuration described above, according to this embodiment, the following
operation and effects are exhibited.
[0040] In the rotary compressor 1, if the internal diameter of each of the first cylinder
chamber 17 and the second cylinder chamber 18, that is, the cylinder internal diameter
φDc, is increased, a cylinder volume increases, and therefore, it is possible to make
the displacement of the compressor have a larger capacity by increasing the eccentricities
of the first eccentric portion 15 and the second eccentric portion 16, thereby increasing
the strokes of the blades 28 and 29.
[0041] Further, when manufacturing the rotary compressor 1, the core diameter φMo of the
motor 5 is restricted by a manufacturing facility, and therefore, if the motor core
diameter φMo is increased, new capital investment is required. However, if an increase
in capacity is performed by increasing the cylinder internal diameter φDc with the
core diameter φMo of the motor 5 set to be that in the existing rotary compressor
1, it is possible to manufacture the rotary compressor 1 having a displacement one
level higher by using the existing facility without performing capital investment.
[0042] Thus, in this embodiment, in the sealed type multi-cylinder rotary compressor 1 in
which the motor 5 and the compression mechanism 6 which is driven by the motor 5 are
provided in the sealed container 2 and the compression mechanism 6 includes the rotary
compression mechanisms 6A and 6B provided with the plurality of cylinders 17 and 18,
the partition plate 21 which separates the plurality of cylinders 17 and 18, the blades
28 and 29, each of which partitions the inside of each of the cylinders 17 and 18
into an intake side and a discharge side, and the rotors 24 and 25 which respectively
rotate in the cylinders 17 and 18, a configuration is made in which when the core
diameter of the motor 5 is set to be φMo, the internal diameter of each of the cylinders
17 and 18 is set to be φDc, the width of each of the cylinders 17 and 18 is set to
Hc, and the width of the partition plate 21 is set to Hs, the relationship of Hs/Hc≤0.35
is satisfied under a condition of φDc/φMo≥0.49.
[0043] In this way, it is possible to make the displacement of the multi-cylinder rotary
compressor 1 have a larger capacity (an increased displacement) by making the stroke
of each of the blades 28 and 29 be a longer stroke without changing the motor core
diameter φMo and without increasing the gas load (the compression load), and it is
possible to suppress a rise in bearing surface pressure by reducing the distance L
between support points of the upper bearing 22 and the lower bearing 23 by making
the width Hs of the partition plate as small as possible with respect to the cylinder
width Hc. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture the sealed type multi-cylinder
rotary compressor 1 having a displacement one level higher with the existing motor
core diameter φMo maintained, and thus it is possible to attain the expansion of a
product lineup without performing great capital investment.
[0044] Further, the possibility of the deformation of the partition plate 21 arises due
to reducing the width Hs of the partition plate 21 so as to satisfy the relationship
of Hs/Hc≤0.35. However, the partition plate 21 is configured with a material such
as carbon steel or alloy steel, for example, having a Young's modulus of 160 [GPa]
or more, whereby even if the width Hs of the partition plate 21 is reduced to 0.35
or less of the cylinder width Hc, it is possible to suppress the deformation of the
partition plate 21. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase of mechanical
load such as bearing surface pressure, and thus it is possible to easily increase
the displacement of the multi-cylinder rotary compressor 1 to a capacity one level
higher by increasing the cylinder internal diameter φDc without changing the motor
core diameter φMo.
[0045] In addition, capacity is increased by increasing the cylinder internal diameter φDc,
whereby the stroke of each of the blades 28 and 29 is made to be a longer stroke,
and thus the blade side surface pressure rises. However, the hard coating such as
the PVD film of CrN type or the like or the DLC film is applied to the blade surface,
whereby it is also possible to sufficiently cope with abnormal wear or the like due
to a rise in blade side surface pressure. For this reason, it is possible to easily
increase the displacement of the multi-cylinder rotary compressor 1 to a capacity
one level higher without performing capital investment, by increasing the cylinder
internal diameter φDc without changing the core diameter φMo of the motor 5.
[0046] Further, since the extreme pressure agent is added to the refrigerant oil 34 which
is filled into the bottom portion of the sealed container 2, although some increase
of the mechanical load such as the bearing surface pressure or the blade side surface
pressure according to an increase in the capacity of the compressor is inevitable
and it becomes easy for an extreme pressure lubrication state to occur in the sliding
portions, the extreme pressure agent which is effective under a high load is added
to the refrigerant oil, whereby it is possible to maintain high lubricity on a sliding
surface, thereby preventing seizure, wear, or scuffing. Accordingly, it is also possible
to effectively cope with an increase in mechanical load according to an increase in
the capacity of the rotary compressor 1.
[0047] In addition, the present invention is not limited to an invention related to the
above-described embodiment and modifications can be appropriately made within a scope
which does not depart from the gist thereof. For example, it goes without saying that
in the above-described embodiment, the first rotary compression mechanism 6A and the
second rotary compression mechanism 6B may be provided with phases shifted by 180
degrees from each other. Further, of course, the discharge chambers 32 and 33 may
be configured such that high-pressure gas discharged to the discharge chamber 33 joins
in the discharge chamber 32 and is then discharged into the sealed container 2. In
addition, the widths Hc of the first cylinder chamber 17 and the second cylinder chamber
18 need not necessarily be the same and may be different widths, and in this case,
it is favorable if the cylinder chamber a larger width Hc is used as a reference.
