Definitions

  • a motor-compressor assembly of the type used for small refrigerating machines
  • the assembly has a vertical shaft arrangement with a centrifuging disc attached to the top of the [54] S y u COMPRESSOR shaft for flinging lubricating oil to the internal wall of the easscl rawmgfigs ing by centrifugal force.
  • the shaft has a shoulder or flange 52 US. Cl 184/6.16 which forms a part of an axial thrust bearin arran ement and g g [5 1] Int.
  • the centrifuging disc has outwardly inclined wall means which [50] Field of Search 230/206, extends from a level below to a level above the shoulder of the 207, 58, l39;4l7/372; 184/6 shaft.
  • the invention relates to an encased motor-compressor, particularly for small refrigerating machines and comprising a vertical shaft arrangement having an axial bearing and at least one oil-outlet orifice at the upper end-face, from which orifice the oil is flung on to the wall of the case by centrifugal force.
  • This oil runs along the wall of the case back into the sump and is cooled in so doing. In order to keep the temperature of the oil as low as possible, it is desirable to pass the greatest quantity of oil over the wall of the case. Only a limited quantity of oil is available for this purpose, however, i.e. the difference between the supply capacity of the oil pump and the quantity of oil required for lubricating purposes.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a motor compressor of the initially described kind and of simple construction, in which the quantity of oil cooled on the wall of the case can be increased.
  • the shaft arrangement having a shoulder to form the axial bearing at its upper end and carrying a centrifuging disc with an upwardly inclined edge, which extends from a level below the shoulder to a level above the end-face.
  • the axial bearing is upwardly extended to such an extent that the lubricating oil emerging therefrom can be caught by the downwardly extending edge of the centrifuging disc. Consequently, the centrifuging disc not only distributes the oil emerging from the orifice at the end-face, but also distributes, on the wall of the casing, the oil passed to the axial bearing for lubricating purposes. A more intensive cooling effect is consequently obtained.
  • edge of the centrifuging disc it is not necessary for the edge of the centrifuging disc to extend over the entire circumference. If the oil-outlet orifices are only on one side of the end-face, it suffices if the edge of the centrifuging disc extends only over a portion of the circumference extending on this side.
  • an oil-fed lubricating groove is provided in the shoulder and extends towards the edge extending over the circumferential portion.
  • This lubricating groove imparts a preferential direction to the oil supplied to the axial bearing, so that, in the main, it impinges on the circumferential portion of the edge of the centrifuging disc that is present.
  • a particularly simple construction is obtained if the shoulder is formed by the underside of a disc which is secured to the end-face of the shaft and which contains an opening for the outlet of oil and a lubricating groove running therefrom on the underside.
  • that portion of the circumference not occupied by the edge of the centrifuging disc is occupied by a compensating weight connected to the shaft. This results in good utilization of space. Furthermore, the particular portion of the circumference opposite the crank can be unoccupied by the edge of the centrifuging disc if axially parallel oil passages extend through the shaft and the crank.
  • the axial bearing can be arranged within a recess in the housing of the compressor and the upper rim of the edge of the centrifuging disc can project from the recess.
  • FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through the motor-compressor of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a central partial section through the upper end of the motor-compressor in a plane at right-angles to that of F lG.
  • FIG. 3 is a view from below of the centrifuging disc employed
  • FIG. 4 is a view from below of the axial bearing disc used
  • FIG. 5 is a section through the motor crankshaft, on the line A-A of FIG. 1.
  • the motor compressor is mounted, on springs (not illustrated), in a case 1.
  • a case 1 In the lower part of the case is an oil sump 2.
  • the supply pipe 3 is pressed in the bore 5 ofa motor shaft 6, which drives a compressor piston (not illustrated) through a crank 7, a crank bearing 8 and a connecting rod 9.
  • the shaft is held in a first radial bearing l0, which is formed in the carrier member 11 for the motor, and in a second radial bearing 12, which is formed in an insert 13 contained in the carrier member 11.
  • An axial bearing is formed by the underside 14 of a disc 15, secured to the end-face of the shaft 6, in conjunction with the upper end-face of the radial bearing bush 12. Above this is located a centrifuging disc 16.
  • the two discs 15 and 16 are detachably secured to the shaft 6 by means of a screwbolt l7 and are held against rotation with the help of a pin 18.
  • the motor consists of a stator 19, connected to the carrier member 11, and a rotor 20, connected to the shaft.
  • the upwardly extending wall 21 of the carrier member 11, together with the insert 13, forms noise-reducing chambers 22.
  • the oil delivered by the pipe 3 rises in the bore 5 of the shaft 6; part of it is deflected through a bore 23 for lubricating the radial bearing 10.
  • the rest continues upwards through three axially parallel bores 24, 25 and 26, the position of which can be seen from FIG. 5.
  • Oil is deflected through a transverse bore 27 for lubricating the crank bearing 8.
  • the oil emerging from the three bores 24, 25 and 26 passes into an opening 28 in the disc 15. From there the oil can be distributed, through a radially extending groove 29, over the surface of the axial bearing on the underside 14 of the disc.
  • the remaining oil passes through a cutaway portion 30 in the edge of the centrifuging disc to reach the edge 31 thereof, and is thence flung on to the wall ofthe case by the rim 32.
  • the centrifuging disc 16 has, only over somewhat less than half ofits periphery, an upwardly inclined edge 31, this edge in fact being on the same side as that where the three bores 24, 25 and 26 run out from the end-face of the shaft 6.
  • the lower rim 33 of the edge 31 is located below the underside 14 of the disc 15.
  • the rim 32 is above the end-face of the shaft arrangement, i.e. above the cutaway portion 30 in the centrifuging disc 16 and is also above the upper end-face of the carrier member 11. Consequently the oil emerging in the zone of the axial bearing is also caught, although this point is located below the end-face of the carrier member, and the oil is passed to the wall of the casing.
  • the disc 15 On the side opposite the crank 7, the disc 15 is provided with an additional part ring 34 to which is also fitted, by means of rivets 36, a further ring portion 35.
  • a further ring portion 35 For the sake of clarity, one of the rivets 36 is shown in section in FIG. 2. ln this way, there is created a compensating weight whereby the out-ofbalance caused by the crank 7 can be compensated.
  • Around the upper radial bearing bush 12 is an annular chamber 37, in which is set back a part 38 of the end-face of the insert 13.
  • the one illustrated further ring portion 35 be accommodated in this annular chamber, but, if required, a second one. It will be clearly seen that these ring portions are positioned precisely opposite the centrifuging disc, so that the two parts cannot collide with each other.
  • the upper short-circuiting ring 39 of the rotor 20 has an enlargement 40 over that half of its circumference on the side opposite the crank. In this way a compensating weight is provided above and below the crank 7, so that the arrangement is subject to extremely little imbalance.
  • the disc can be fitted after the motor compressor has been assembled. There is no difflculty in obtaining optimum balancing by introducing additional weights or by substituting another disc.
  • a motor-compressor assembly comprising a casing, a carrier frame disposed internally of said casing, said frame defining a radial bearing and an upper axial bearing, a shaft rotatably joumaled in said radial bearing and having flange means engaging said axial bearing, and a centrifuging disc attached to said flange means having outwardly inclined-wall means. extending above and below said flange means, said shaft having vertically extending oil passages with upper oriflces opening on only one diametric side thereof, said centrifuging disc wall means being only on said diametric side of said shaft.
  • a motor-compressor assembly according to claim 2 including counterweight means attached to said flange means on the diametric side thereof opposite said one diametric side.
  • a motor-compressor assembly according to claim 1 wherein said carrier frame definesan annularly shaped recess surrounding said axial bearing, said centrifuging disc wall means having a lower portion thereof within the confines of said recess.
