Definitions
- the present invention relates to a reciprocatory piston type multi-cylinder refrigerant compressor for a refrigeration system, and more particularly, it relates to a reciprocatory piston type compressor provided with a rotary valve element for controlling the suction of a refrigerant gas before compression from a suction chamber into respective cylinder bores; the rotary valve may also control discharge of the refrigerant gas after compression from respective cylinder bores toward a discharge chamber.
- Reciprocatory piston type refrigerant compressors such as a wobble plate operated reciprocatory piston type variable displacement compressor, and a swash plate operated reciprocatory piston type fixed displacement compressor are conventionally used for compressing a refrigerant circulating through a refrigeration system of e.g., an automobile air conditioner.
- the reciprocatory piston type compressor is provided with an axial cylinder block having a plurality of cylinder bores arranged parallel with a drive shaft of the compressor and a plurality of single headed or double headed pistons reciprocated in the respective cylinder bores to compress the refrigerant in the form of a gas.
- the compressor having single headed pistons is also provided with a housing attached to one of the axial ends of the cylinder block via a valve plate to define a suction chamber therein from which the refrigerant gas is supplied into respective cylinder bores so as to be compressed, and a discharge chamber therein toward which the compressed refrigerant gas is discharged from the respective cylinder bores.
- the gas passes through suction ports formed in the valve plate and closably opened by suction valves arranged so as to be in contact with one end face of the valve plate on the side thereof confronting respective cylinder bores.
- the suction valves are opened when a pressure level in each cylinder bore is lower than a given low pressure level.
- the compressed refrigerant gas passes through discharge ports formed in the valve plate and closably opened by discharge valves arranged so as to be in contact with the other end face of the valve plate on the side thereof confronting the discharge chamber.
- the discharge valves are opened when the pressure level in each cylinder bore is higher than a given high pressure level.
- each of the suction and discharge valves in the flapper form is made of a thin elastic plate material so that the valve is constantly elastically urged toward the closing position thereof. Therefore, the flapper valve must always be moved from the closing to opening position thereof against the elastic force exerted by the valve per se, and accordingly during the opening of the suction or discharge valve in the flapper form, a considerable amount of refrigerant pressure loss occurs thereby lowering the volumetric efficiency of the compressor.
- suction or discharge valve in the flapper form when the suction or discharge valve in the flapper form returns to the closing position thereof, it strikes against the end face of the valve plate and produces a loud noise, and may additionally be apt to be damaged or broken.
- U.S. Patents Nos. 4,749,340, 4,764,091, and 4,781,540 disclose several constructional improvements of the flapper valve that enhance the volumetric efficiency of the reciprocatory piston type compressor and solve the noise problem. Nevertheless, a further innovative improvement of the function and performance of the suction and discharge valves of the reciprocatory piston type compressor has been requested.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a reciprocatory piston type refrigerant compressor provided with a novel valve element accommodated therein capable of eliminating the above-mentioned problems encountered by the conventional flatter form valve.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a reciprocatory piston type multi-cylinder refrigerant compressor provided with a noise free rotary valve element smoothly rotated together with a drive shaft of the compressor so as to control an appropriate supply of a refrigerant from a suction chamber to respective cylinder bores and thereby prevent the loss of pressure during compression of the refrigerant.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a reciprocatory piston type multi-cylinder refrigerant compressor provided with a noise free rotary valve element smoothly rotated together with a drive shaft of the compressor to control not only an appropriate supply of the refrigerant from a suction chamber into respective cylinder bores but also an appropriate discharge of the compressed refrigerant from respective cylinder bores toward a discharge chamber and thereby maintain a high volumetric compressor efficiency.

- a reciprocatory piston type compressor for compressing a refrigerant of a refrigeration system that comprises: a cylinder block having a central axis thereof, a first cylindrical valve chamber bored coaxially with the central axis, and a plurality of axial cylinder bores arranged around and in parallel with the central axis; each axial cylinder bore having at least one bore end through which the refrigerant enters therein, and is discharged therefrom; a housing unit air-tightly connected via a partition wall plate means to opposite axial ends of the cylinder block for defining therein a suction chamber for the refrigerant before compression fluidly communicating with the first cylindrical valve chamber of the cylinder block, and a discharge chamber for the refrigerant after compression located around and isolated from the suction chamber; the housing unit further defining a second cylindrical valve chamber coaxial with the first cylindrical valve chamber; a rotatable drive shaft having axial ends thereof rotatably supported by bearings seated in the housing
- a reciprocatory piston type refrigerant compressor includes a cylinder block 1 having a central axis.
- the cylinder block 1 is provided with axially opposite ends, a central bore 1a extended coaxially with the central axis and formed as a valve chamber for receiving a later-described rotary valve element, and a plurality of ( e.g., five in the embodiment ) cylinder bores 1b arranged equiangularly around and in parallel with the central axis.
- One of the axial ends, i.e., a front end of the cylinder block 1 is air-tightly closed by a front housing 2, and the other end, i.e., a rear end of the cylinder block 1 is air-tightly closed by a rear housing 4 via a partition wall plate 3.
- the front housing 2 defines a crank chamber 5 axially extending in front of the front end of the cylinder block 1.
- the rear housing 4 defines therein a centrally arranged cylindrical suction chamber 17 for a refrigerant before compression, and an annularly extending discharge chamber 18 for a refrigerant after compression arranged so as to surround and be isolated from the suction chamber 17.
- a drive shaft 6 axially extending through the crank chamber 5 is rotatably supported by bearings 6a and 6b seated in a central bore of the front housing 2 and the central bore 1a of the cylinder block 1.
- the drive shaft 6 has a rotor 7 fixedly mounted thereon to be rotated together and axially supported by a thrust bearing 6c arranged between an inner end of the front housing 2 and the frontmost end of the rotor 7.
- the rotor 7 has a support arm 8 extending from a rear part thereof to provide an extension in which an elongated through-bore 8a is formed for receiving a lateral pin 8b slidably movable in the through-bore 8a.
- the lateral pin 8b is connected to a swash plate 9 arranged around the drive shaft and is capable of changing an angle of inclination thereof with respect to a plane perpendicular to the rotating axis of the drive shaft 6.
- a sleeve element 10 axially and slidably mounted on the drive shaft 6 is arranged adjacent to the rearmost end of the rotor 7, and is constantly urged toward the rearmost end of the rotor 7 by a coil spring 11 arranged around the drive shaft 6 at a rear portion thereof.
- the sleeve element 10 has a pair of laterally extending trunnion pins 10a on which the swash plate 9 is pivoted so as to be inclined thereabout.
- the swash plate 9 has an annular rear face and a cylindrical flange to support thereon a non-rotatable wobble plate 12 via a thrust bearing 9a.
- the non-rotatable wobble plate 12 has an outer periphery provided with a guide portion 12a in which a long bolt 16 is fitted to prevent any rotational play of the wobble plate 12 on the swash plate 9, and the wobble plate 12 is operatively connected to pistons 15 axially and slidably fitted in the cylinder bores 1b, via connecting rods 14.
- the wobble plate 12 on the swash plate 9 is non-rotatably wobbled to cause reciprocation of respective pistons 15 in the cylinder bores 1b.
- the refrigerant is drawn from the suction chamber 17 into respective cylinder bores 1b and compressed therein.
- the compressed refrigerant is discharged from respective cylinder bores 1b toward the discharge chamber 18 from which the refrigerant after compression is delivered to the condenser of a refrigeration system.
- the afore-mentioned central suction chamber 17 of the rear housing 4 has an opening formed in an end wall of the rear housing 4 so that the suction chamber 17 is able to receive a refrigerant therein when the refrigerant returns from the exterior of the compressor.
- the suction chamber 17 is communicated with the central bore 1a of the cylinder block 1 via a central bore 3a of the partition wall plate 3 arranged so as to be coaxial with and having a bore diameter equal to the central bore 1a of the cylinder block.
- the partition wall plate 3 is provided with a plurality of ( five in this embodiment ) radial passageways 21 formed to extend radially from the central bore 3a thereof, as best shown in Fig. 2. An end of each radial passageway 21 is located to open toward the rearmost end of one of the axial cylinder bores 1b of the cylinder block 1.
- a cylindrical rotary valve element 22 is smoothly and rotatably accommodated in the central bore 1a of the cylinder block 1 and the central bore 3a of the partition wall plate 3, and an axially inner end of the rotary valve element 22 is fixedly attached by a key 23 to an end of the drive shaft 6 extending into the central bore 1a of the cylinder block.
- the rotary valve element 22 is rotated together with the drive shaft 6.
- the drive shaft 6 and the rotary valve element 22 of the compressor according to the present embodiment may be rotated in either the CW direction or CCW direction.
- a rear end of the rotary valve element 22, i.e., an end opposite to the above-mentioned inner end is supported by a thrust bearing 24 seated in an annular step of the suction chamber formed in the inner wall of the rear housing 4.
- the cylindrical rotary valve element 22 is provided with a fluid passageway 25 including an axial blind bore 25a centrally formed therein, a groove 25b formed in the cylindrical surface thereof to circumferentially extend over approximately a half of the circumference thereof, and a radial bore 25c formed to provide a fluid communication between the central bore 25a and the circumferential groove 25b.
- the fluid passageway 25 of the rotary valve element 22 is provided to control the suction of the refrigerant from the suction chamber 17 of the rear housing 4 into respective cylinder bores 1b.
- the discharge chamber 18 of the rear housing 4 arranged radially outside the suction chamber 17 can be communicated with respective cylinder bores 1b via discharge ports 18a formed in the partition wall plate 3 and discharge valves 19 in the flapper form disposed in the discharge chamber 18 to close the discharge ports 18a.
- the movement of the discharge valves 19 are restricted by valve retainers 19a.
- the above-described reciprocatory piston type compressor is incorporated in a refrigeration system of an air-conditioner such as an automobile air-conditioner to compress the refrigerant and deliver the compressed gas into the refrigeration system.
- the swash plate 9 When the drive shaft 6 of the compressor is rotated about the rotating axis thereof by an external drive power, the swash plate 9 is rotated together and wobbled around the drive shaft 6 due to an inclination of the swash plate 9 with respect to a plane perpendicular to the rotating axis of the drive shaft 6.
- the wobbling motion of the rotating swash plate 9 causes a synchronous wobbling of the non-rotatable wobble plate 12, so that the respective pistons 15 connected to the wobble plate 12 via the connecting rods 14 are reciprocated in the respective cylinder bores 1b.
- the rotary valve element 22 rotating together with the drive shaft 6 controls the supply of the refrigerant from the suction chamber 17 of the rear housing 4 toward the respective cylinder bores 1b to thereby achieve an appropriate compression of the refrigerant gas and a discharge of the compressed refrigerant gas.
- the rotary valve element 22 is constructed as a rotary suction control valve rotating together with the drive shaft 6 of the compressor, it is possible to obtain a wide opening area of the suction control valve compared with the conventional flapper-form suction control valve. Therefore, the volumetric efficiency of the compressor per se can be raised due to a lowering of pressure loss of the refrigerant in each of the plurality of cylinder bores 1b of the compressor.
- the rotary suction valve element 22 can significantly reduce noise during the operation thereof compared with the conventional flapper-form suction control valve.
- the rotary suction valve element 22 performs the suction control operation thereof by smooth rotation in the valve chamber, damage or breakage and abrasion of the rotary suction control valve do not easily occur for a long operation time thereof.
- an improvement of the suction valve mechanism of the reciprocatory piston type compressor over the conventional flapper-form suction control valve can be achieved.
- Figure 5 illustrates a modification of the reciprocatory piston type compressor of Fig. 1.
- the rotary valve element 22 is incorporated in the compressor as a suction control valve
- the conventional flapper-form suction control valves are arranged so as to be in contact with the partition wall plate 3. Therefore, the discharge ports 18a of the partition wall plate 3 through which the compressed refrigerant is discharged from the respective cylinder bores 1b toward the discharge chamber 18 may be provided in a position such that the center of each discharge port 18a is in correct alignment with the central axis of the corresponding cylinder bore 1b.
- each reciprocatory piston 15 may have a projection 15a at the head thereof so as to be engageable with the corresponding discharge port 18a in response to the movement of the piston 15 toward top dead center ( T.D.C ) thereof, and accordingly the piston 15 can always be moved in the cylinder bore 1b to a position permitting a minimal gap between the piston head thereof and the inner end face of the partition wall plate 3. Therefore, the amount of compressed refrigerant gas remaining in the cylinder bore 1b without being discharged therefrom is minimal so that the volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be increased.
- Figure 6 illustrates another modification of the reciprocatory piston type compressor of Fig. 1.
- the radial passageways 21 are arranged in the cylinder block 1 instead of the afore-described partition wall plate 3.
- the length of each radial passageway 21 can be made shorter, and accordingly, any compressed refrigerant gas remaining in the radial passageway 21 at the time the piston 15 comes to the end of the discharge stroke thereof can be reduced to the minimal amount. Consequently, the volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be raised.
- Figure 7 illustrates a further modification of the reciprocatory piston type compressor of Fig. 1.
- the drive shaft 6 is provided with a flange portion 61 to support one end of a coil spring 26 the other end of which is in contact with the rotary valve element 22 to thereby always urge the rotary valve element 22 toward the thrust bearing 24 seated in the rear housing 4.
- any axial play of the rotary valve element 22 can be cancelled to ensure a smooth rotation of the rotary valve element 22, and accordingly, abrasion and seizure of the rotary valve element 22 can be prevented.
- difficulty in controlling the dimension and size of the rotary valve element 22 during the production and assembly stages thereof can be mitigated.
- the coil spring 26 of Fig. 7 may be arranged between the rotary valve element 22 and a radial bearing 63 shown in Fig. 8, which is arranged so as to rotatably support the drive shaft 6 instead of the bearing 6b of Fig. 1 or Fig. 7.
- the bearing 63 is provided with a flanged inner race against which the end of the coil spring 26 is bore, and therefore the drive shaft 6 can be made of a straight member having no flange. Namely, the assembly of the rotary valve element 22 can be simplified compared with the compressor of Fig. 7.
- Figure 9 illustrates another modification in which the spring 26 urging the rotary valve element 22 is supported by a thrust bearing 65 seated on a step 1c of the cylinder block 1.
- assembly of the rotary valve element 22 can be simple similarly to the embodiment of Fig. 8.
- the reciprocatory piston type compressor is different from the compressor of the first embodiment shown in Fig. 1 through 4 in that a cylindrical hollow sleeve element 44 is fixedly accommodated in the central bore 1a of the cylinder block 1 and the central bore 3a of the partition wall plate 3 to rotatably receive the rotary valve element 22 therein, and therefore, the thrust bearing 24 used with the compressor of the first embodiment is eliminated.
- the same or like elements as those of the compressor of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals as those of Fig. 1 through 4.
- the cylindrical hollow sleeve element 44 is provided with a plurality of open windows 44a radially formed in the cylindrical wall thereof and an annular extension 44b formed at an end thereof seated in a shoulder portion of the rear housing 4.
- the open windows 44a of the cylindrical hollow sleeve element 44 are arranged in such a manner that when the sleeve element 44 is assembled in the cylinder block 1 and the rear housing 4, the plurality of open windows 44a are in correct registration with the respective radial passageways 21 of the partition wall plate 3. Therefore, the fluid passageway 25 of the rotary valve element 22 can be sequentially communicated with the radial passageways 21 and the corresponding cylinder bores 1b of the cylinder block 1 in response to the rotation of the rotary valve element 22 within the cylindrical sleeve element 44.
- annular extension 44b of the cylindrical hollow sleeve element 44 is provided for axially supporting the rotary valve element 22.
- cylindrical hollow sleeve element 44 is effective for allowing the rotary valve element 22 to smoothly rotate therein together with the drive shaft 6, because when the hollow sleeve element 44 is made of a metallic bearing material, this hollow sleeve element 44 is able to function as a cylindrical slide bearing for the rotary valve element 22 during the rotation of the rotary valve element 22. Consequently, any loss of power for driving the drive shaft 6 of the compressor from an external drive source such as an automobile engine can be prevented.
- the cylindrical hollow sleeve element 44 is assembled in a cylindrical bore-like valve chamber portion of the compressor formed by the combination of the cylinder block 1, the partition wall plate 3 and the rear housing 4, and therefore, it is often difficult for the rotary valve element 22 to obtain a complete air-tight sealing characteristics. Nevertheless, because of provision of the cylindrical hollow sleeve element 44 in which the rotary valve element 22 is rotatably housed, the sealing characteristics of the rotary valve element 22 can be improved over the embodiment of the afore-described first embodiment of Figs. 1 through 4 and thus, good suction control of the rotary valve element 22 can be obtained.
- Figures 12 through 18 illustrate a third embodiment of the present invention, and the same and like elements and portions as those of the first embodiment of Figs. 1 through 4 are designated by the same reference numerals.
- the rotary valve element 22 is arranged in the valve chamber defined by the central bore 1a of the cylinder block 1, the central bore 3a of the partition wall plate 3, and the a portion of an internal cylindrical wall 43 ( Fig. 15 ) of the rear housing 4. It is to be noted that in the present third embodiment the rotary valve element 22 is provided as a rotating valve having the ability to control both suction and discharge of the refrigerant with respect to the plurality of cylinder bores 1b of the cylinder block 1. Therefore, the compressor has no flapper-form valve.
- suction, compression, and discharge operations are conducted by reciprocation of the pistons 15 in the cylinder bores 1b caused by the swash and wobble plates 8 and 9 when driven by the drive shaft 6 in the same manner as the compressor of the first embodiment.
- the rotary valve element 22 attached to an end of the drive shaft 6 is provided with a fluid passageway 25 including an axial blind bore 25a centrally formed therein, a circumferential groove 25b formed in the cylindrical outer surface thereof, and a radial passageway 25c providing a connection between the bore 25a and the groove 25b for controlling the supply of the refrigerant before compression from the suction chamber 17 to the respective cylinder bores 1b while the respective cylinder bores 1b are in the suction stage.
- the rotary valve element 22 is also provided with an axially extending groove-like passageway 27 formed in the cylindrical outer surface thereof.
- the passageway 27 is located adjacent to but spaced from one end, i.e., a leading end of the circumferential groove 25b of the fluid passageway 25 when considering a predetermined rotating direction of the rotary valve element 22, shown by an arrow " A " in Fig. 17.
- the spacing between the passageway 27 and the leading end of the circumferential groove 25b is selected and designed in the manner described later.
- one end of the axial groove-like passageway 27 is disposed adjacent to the rearmost end of the rotary valve element 22, and the other end thereof is disposed at a position whereat the passageway 27 is capable of communicating with the respective radial passageways 21 of the partition wall plate 3 ( Fig. 14 ) during the rotation of the rotary valve element 22.
- the cylindrical wall 43 of the rear housing 4 is provided with an internal annular groove 41 at a position capable of being constantly exposed to the above-mentioned axial groove 27 of the rotary valve element 22, and an appropriate number of radial bores 42 connecting between the discharge chamber 18 and the internal annular groove 41 of the cylindrical wall 43 of the rear housing 4.
- the cylinder bore 1b is fluidly communicated with the discharge chamber 18 of the rear housing 4 via the radial passageway 21 and the axial passageway 27 of the rotary valve element 22.
- the fluid communication of the axial passageway 27 of the rotary valve element 22 with respective cylinder bores 1b sequentially occurs thereby permitting the compressed refrigerant to be discharged from the cylinder bores 1b toward the discharge chamber 18 in response to the rotation of the rotary valve element 22.
- the rotary control valve element 22 has a function of controlling the discharge of the compressed refrigerant gas from the respective cylinder bores 1b toward the discharge chamber 18 during rotation thereof together with the drive shaft 6 in addition to the afore-mentioned suction control function.
- the circumferential groove 25b of the fluid passageway 25 is formed in the outer circumference of the rotary valve element 22 in such a manner that in response to the rotation of the element 22 together with the drive shaft 6 in the direction shown by an arrow " A ", the leading end of the circumferential groove 25b is brought into fluid communication with one of the cylinder bores 1b via the associated radial passageway 21 when the piston 15 in the cylinder bore 1b is moved away from the top dead center ( T.D.C ) thereof by an angular amount " ⁇ " thereby causing a delay of a commencement of the suction stroke with respect to the cylinder bore 1b.
- the circumferential passageway 25b of the rotary valve element 22 is extended so that the tail end thereof passes another cylinder bore 1b wherein the piston 15 reaches the bottom dead center ( B.D.C ) thereof when the piston 15 is moved away from the B.D.C by a predetermined amount corresponding to an angular amount " ⁇ '" of the rotation of the rotary valve element 22.
- commencement of the compression stroke within the cylinder bore 1b is delayed as clearly shown in Fig. 18.
- Figure 18 illustrates that the delay of the commencement of the compression stroke with respect to the cylinder bore 1b can compensate for pressure loss in the suction of the refrigerant caused by the above-mentioned delay in the commencement of the suction stroke with respect to the cylinder bore 1b.
- each of the cylinder bores 1b does not simultaneously communicate with both suction and discharge chambers 17 and 18 of the rear housing 4 via the rotary valve element 22, and accordingly, the compressed refrigerant does not directly leak from the cylinder bore 1b toward the suction chamber 17.
- the single rotary valve element 22 controls the suction and discharge of the refrigerant with respect to the plurality of cylinder bores 1b, it is possible to reduce the number of elements for constructing one reciprocatory piston type compressor while simplifying the construction of the compressor. Thus, the manufacturing cost of the reciprocatory piston type compressor can be lowered.
- the reciprocatory piston type compressor is provided with a plurality of cylinder bores in which a plurality of single-headed pistons are reciprocated to conduct the suction, compression, and discharge operation under the control of the rotary valve element.
- the rotary valve element formed as a rotary suction control valve or a rotary suction and discharge control valve can equally be applicable to the other reciprocatory piston type compressor provided with a plurality of double-headed reciprocatory pistons reciprocated by a swash plate mechanism having a fixed inclination angle.
- two rotary valve elements are attached to opposite ends of a drive shaft that is rotated to thereby causing rotating and wobbling motions of the swash plate in the swash plate chamber provided in the center of the cylinder block.
- a reciprocatory piston type refrigerant compressor having high volumetric efficiency and capable of exhibiting a noise free and a damage free operation with a long operation life can be realized.
