[0051] A crankshaft 300 for a rotary compressor 1000 according to embodiments of a first aspect of the present disclosure is described in the following with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 17.

[0052] Specifically, the rotary compressor 1000 may further include a casing 100 and a compressing mechanism 200, and as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the compressing mechanism 200 may include a main bearing 201, a cylinder 202, an auxiliary bearing 203, a sliding vane 204 and a piston 205. The main bearing 201 and the auxiliary bearing 203 are disposed onto two axial ends of the cylinder 202 respectively so as to define a working chamber together with the cylinder 202, and the crankshaft 300 goes through the main bearing 201, the cylinder 202 and the auxiliary bearing 203.

[0053] The crankshaft 300 for the rotary compressor 1000 according to embodiments of the first aspect of the present disclosure includes a body 1 and an eccentric portion 2. Specifically, with reference to FIG. 7, the eccentric portion 2 is fitted over the body 1. The body 1 is substantially formed in a long cylinder shape and goes through the eccentric portion 2. Here, it should be noted that, the expression “fitted over” is used to indicate a positional relationship of the eccentric portion 2 and the body 1 instead of limiting the assembling relationship between the eccentric portion 2 and the body 1. For example, the eccentric portion 2 and the body 1 may be parts processed separately and fixed together through a subsequent assembly, or the eccentric portion 2 and the body 1 may also be an integrally processed part.

[0054] With reference to FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 6, the piston 205 is fitted over the eccentric portion 2, and the eccentric portion 2 is fitted in the working chamber. A sliding vane groove going through the cylinder 202 radially and communicating with the working chamber is formed in the cylinder 202. The sliding vane 204 is slidably disposed in the sliding vane groove, and a front end of the sliding vane 204 abuts against an outer circumferential surface of the piston 205 all the time. Thus, in the rotation process of the crankshaft 300, the eccentric portion 2 is able to drive the piston 205 to roll along an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder 202 and meanwhile push the sliding vane 204 to slide inwards and outwards along a radial direction of the cylinder 202 so as to compress a refrigerant in the working chamber.

[0055] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7 to FIG. 17, the eccentric portion 2 is provided with at least one of a flexible structure 21 and an oil pressure surface 22, that is, the eccentric portion 2 may be only provided with the flexible structure 21, or the eccentric portion 2 is only provided with the oil pressure surface 22, or the eccentric portion 2 may also be provided with both of the flexible structure 21 and the oil pressure surface 22.

[0056] The flexible structure 21 is configured to deform inwards (facing towards a central axis direction of the body 1) when subject to an external force in an inward direction. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4, when the cylinder 202 is processed, a contour of the inner circumferential surface thereof is a curve indicated by an arrow line a1, and after the cylinder 202 is assembled and deformed, the contour of the inner circumferential surface thereof is a curve indicated by an arrow line a2. The original outer contour of the flexible structure 21 is a curve indicated by an arrow line b1, and the contour of the flexible structure 21 changes into a curve indicated by an arrow line b2 when the deformed inner circumferential surface of the cylinder 202 applies an abnormal contact force F to the piston 205 and the flexible structure 21 deforms inwards (facing towards a central axis of the piston 205). Thus, the flexible structure 21 is able to absorb, through deformation, the contact force caused by the abnormal contact of the piston 205 and the cylinder 202.

[0057] Therefore, when the eccentric portion 2 is provided with the flexible structure 21 having the structural features mentioned above, if abnormal conditions occur, such as introduction of impurities into the compressing mechanism 200, bulges formation due to the deformation of the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder 202, or the size of the parts processed out of tolerance, the flexible structure 21 is able to deform inwards so as to absorb the contact force generated by the metallic contact between the piston 205 and the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder 202, that is, the contact force, caused by a too small gap and the abnormal contact between the piston 205 and the cylinder 202, can be absorbed by the deformation of the flexible structure 21, which ensures a normal operation of the rotary compressor 1000 and prevents the problem of being stuck during the operation.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 5, the oil pressure surface 22 is configured in such a way that in a direction (for example a direction indicated by an arrow line R2 in FIG. 5) opposite to a rotating direction of a rotating central axis of the crankshaft 300, a distance L1 between a front end 221 of the oil pressure surface 22 and the central axis of the eccentric portion 2 is smaller than a distance L2 between a tail end 222 of the oil pressure surface 22 and the central axis of the eccentric portion 2. In the rotating direction of the crankshaft 300, the front end 221 of the oil pressure surface 22 is always located in front of the tail end 222 of the oil pressure surface 22.

[0059] When the eccentric portion 2 is provided with the oil pressure surface 22 having the structural features mentioned above, as an oil cavity 3 defined by the oil pressure surface 22 and the piston 205 converges gradually along the direction (for example the direction indicated by the arrow line R2 in FIG. 5) opposite to the rotating direction (for example a direction indicated by an arrow line R1 in FIG. 5) of the crankshaft 300, the lubricating oil in the oil cavity 3 can be gathered within a wedge shaped space 3a by means of a centrifugal force imposed on the lubricating oil in the oil cavity 3 due to high-speed rotation of the crankshaft 300, so that an inlet oil pressure (for example a direction indicated by an arrow p in FIG. 5) of the sliding bearing is increased, and hence the oil supply state of the eccentric portion 2 is improved, that is, the lubrication condition of the piston 205 and the eccentric portion 2 is improved.

[0060] In addition, as the eccentric portion 2 is provided with at least one of the flexible structure 21 and the oil pressure surface 22, an outer circumferential surface of the eccentric portion 2 may be formed in a non-circular shape, for example the case shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 9, i.e. the flexible structure 21 has a first end 211 and a second end 212, the first end 211 of the flexible structure 21 is connected to a first side wall of the eccentric portion 2, and the second end 212 of the flexible structure 21 is spaced apart from the first side wall of the eccentric portion 2. Accordingly, with reference to FIG. 5, the outer circumferential surface of the eccentric portion 2 is not able to contact the inner circumferential surface of the piston 205 fully and completely, which can reduce the contact area between the eccentric portion 2 and the inner circumferential surface of the piston 205, thereby reducing friction power consumption of the contact area and improving energy efficiency of the rotary compressor 1000. It is tested that when a motor operating frequency of the rotary compressor 1000 is 60 Hz, the input power can be reduced by 2%.

[0061] For the rotary compressor 1000 in which carbon dioxide serves as a refrigerant, when a test is performed under the Chinese national standard performance condition, the refrigerating capacity of the rotary compressor 1000 mounted with the crankshaft 300 in the prior art (i.e. the eccentric portion 2 is formed in a complete cylindrical shape) is 6297 W, the corresponding input power of the electric motor is 1623 W, and the coefficient of performance (COP) is 3.88, but the refrigerating capacity of the rotary compressor 1000 mounted with the crankshaft 300 according to embodiments of the present disclosure (for example the eccentric portion 2 has the flexible structure 21 and the oil pressure surface 22) is 6523 W, the corresponding input power of the electric motor is 1598 W, and the coefficient of performance (COP) is 4.08. Thus, by contrast, the refrigerating capacity of the rotary compressor 1000 mounted with the crankshaft 300 according to embodiments of the present disclosure is improved by 1.62%, the input power of the electric motor is reduced by 1.57%, and the coefficient of performance (COP) is improved by 5.21%.

[0062] With the crankshaft 300 for the rotary compressor 1000 according to embodiments of the present disclosure, when the eccentric portion 2 is provided with the flexible structure 21 having the above structural features, it is possible to effectively solve the problem that the rotary compressor 1000 gets stuck by the abnormal contact between the piston 205 and the cylinder 202 due to a small gap between an air suction side and an air discharge side of the compressing mechanism 200 or existence of impurities in the volume cavity of the compressing mechanism 200. When the eccentric portion 2 is provided with the oil pressure surface 22 having the above structural features, the oil cavity 3 between the piston 205 and the eccentric portion 2 has an gradually decreasing volume along the direction opposite to the rotating direction of the crankshaft 300, such that a high-pressure oil wedge space can be formed at a tail portion of the oil cavity 3 by utilizing the rotating centrifugal force from the high-speed rotation of the crankshaft 300 effectively, thereby increasing the inlet oil pressure, and improving the environment of lubrication between the eccentric portion 2 and the piston 205.

[0063] The crankshaft 300 for the rotary compressor 1000 according to a plurality of embodiments of the present disclosure is described in the following with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 17.

First Embodiment

[0064] With reference to FIG. 7 to FIG. 10, the eccentric portion 2 is provided with the flexible structure 21, and the flexible structure 21 has the first end 211 and the second end 212. The first end 211 of the flexible structure 21 is connected to the first side wall of the eccentric portion 2 while the second end 212 of the flexible structure 2 is spaced apart from the first side wall of the eccentric portion 2. Specifically, the first end 211 of the flexible structure 21 is connected with the first side wall of the eccentric portion 2, and the second end 212 of the flexible structure 21 extends towards a direction away from the first side wall of the eccentric portion 2. Accordingly, when the piston 205 are in abnormal contact with the inner wall of the cylinder 202, the abnormal contact force can be absorbed through an elastic deformation of the second end 212 of the flexible structure 21, and hence the problem that the rotary compressor 1000 gets stuck is improved, and on the other hand, the flexible structure 21 in this kind of structure makes the whole outer circumferential surface of the eccentric portion 2 form a non-circular shape, so that the contact area between the piston 205 and the eccentric portion 2 can be reduced effectively, hence reducing the contact fiction power effectively, and in addition, the structure of the flexible structure 21 is simple and convenient to process.

[0065] Further, with reference to FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, the flexible structure 21 and the central axis of the eccentric portion 2 are located at a same side of a central axis of the body 1. That is, the flexible structure 21 is disposed at a side of the eccentric portion 2 farther away from the body 1, or in other word, the flexible structure 21 is located at a side, away from the central axis of the body 1, of a connecting line between the central axis of the eccentric portion 2 and the central axis of the body 1. Thus, by disposing the flexible structure 21 at the side of the eccentric portion 2 farther away from the body 1, not only the processing becomes convenient, but also the flexible structure 21 has a larger elastic deformation and has a stronger capacity to absorb the abnormal contact force.

[0066] With reference to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the first end 211 and the second end 212 of the flexible structure 21 are located at two sides of a reference plane (for example the plane A-A shown in FIG. 9) respectively, in which case a distance between the first end 211 of the flexible structure 21 and the reference plane is larger than 0, and a distance d1 between the second end 212 of the flexible structure 21 and the reference plane is also larger than 0, in which the reference plane is a plane defined by the central axis of the eccentric portion 2 and the central axis of the body 1. Thus, the flexible structure 21 has a relatively large length, and the elastic deformation takes places more effectively, which makes the flexible structure 21 has a stronger capacity to absorb the abnormal contact force. Certainly, the present disclosure is not limited to this; the distance d1 between the second end 212 of the flexible structure 21 and the reference plane may also be equal to 0, that is, the second end 212 of the flexible structure 21 may be flush with the reference plane.

[0067] With reference to FIG. 9, a distance d2 between the farthest point from the central axis of the eccentric portion 2, among intersection points of the flexible structure 21 and the reference plane, and the central axis of the eccentric portion 2 satisfies: d2≧R0, wherein R0 is an outer radius of the eccentric portion 2. Thus, the flexible structure 21 is away from the central axis of the eccentric portion 2 far enough, which enables more effective elastic deformation so as to absorb the abnormal contact force better.

[0068] Further, with reference to FIG. 7 and FIG. 9, the oil pressure surface 22 is formed on a second side wall, opposite to the second end 212 of the flexible structure 21, of the eccentric portion 2. Thus, the second end 212 of the flexible structure 21 is spaced apart from the first side wall of the eccentric portion 2, so the second end 212 of the flexible structure 21 is spaced apart from the oil pressure surface 22 in a direction from the inside to the outside, and hence an oil storage space is defined between the flexible structure 21 and the oil pressure surface 22. Thus, the structure of the eccentric portion 2 is simple, compact and convenient to process, which can realize three kinds of effects, namely absorbing abnormal contact force, improving lubrication effect and decreasing contact abrasion between the eccentric portion and the piston 205 reliably. Preferably, the oil pressure surface 22 may be formed to be a smooth curved surface so as to be convenient to process and manufacture as well as have a low processing cost.

[0069] With reference to FIG. 10 combined with FIG. 5, the eccentric portion 2 is provided with the oil pressure surface 22, and a communicating oil hole 23 communicated with a central oil hole of the body 1 is formed in the oil pressure surface 22, such that the lubricating oil in the central oil hole of the body 1 can be supplied into the oil cavity 3 through the communicating oil hole 23, and then flow into the wedge shaped space 3a at the tail end 222 of the oil pressure surface 22 under the action of the rotating centrifugal force of the crankshaft 300. Thus, by providing the communicating oil hole 23, it is convenient to supply the lubricating oil between the piston 205 and the eccentric portion 2. Certainly, the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the lubricating oil may be supplied between the piston 205 and the eccentric portion 2 in other ways for example through an oil supply pipe.

[0070] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, two ends 22c of the oil pressure surface 22 in an axial direction of the eccentric portion 2 adjoin respective corresponding end faces 2a of the eccentric portion 2 directly, which is an extreme possibility in terms of the fact that the two ends 22c of the oil pressure surface 22 in the axial direction of the eccentric portion 2 are adjacent to the respective corresponding end faces 2a of the eccentric portion 2. That is, a width of the oil pressure surface 22 in an axial direction of the body 1 is equal to a thickness of the eccentric portion 2 in the axial direction of the body 1, and the two ends 22c of the oil pressure surface 22 in the axial direction are flush with the two corresponding end faces 2a of the eccentric portion 2 in the axial direction. As a result, not only the processing is facilitated, but also the oil pressure surface 22 has a sufficiently large area, which makes the lubricating oil flow to the oil pressure surface 22 more adequately, and hence achieve a better lubrication effect.

Second Embodiment

[0071] As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the structure in the present embodiment is substantially identical to that in the first embodiment, the same components being denoted by like reference numerals, which only differs in that the eccentric portion 2 in the present embodiment is not provided with the flexible structure 21.

Third Embodiment

[0072] As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the eccentric portion 2 is provided with the flexible structure 21, and the flexible structure 21 has the first end 211 and the second end 212. Both the first end 211 and the second end 212 of the flexible structure 21 are connected to a side wall of the eccentric portion 2 and other portions of the flexible structure 21 except the first end and 211 the second end 212 are spaced apart from the side wall of the eccentric portion 2. In this way, a substantially crescent hollow cavity is defined between the flexible structure 21 and the side wall of the eccentric portion 2, and the hollow cavity is able to go through the eccentric portion 2 along the axial direction of the body 1. Thus, when the piston 205 are in abnormal contact with the inner wall of the cylinder 202, the portions of the flexible structure 21, except the first end 211 and the second end 212, deform elastically to absorb the contact force. As a result, the structure of the flexible structure 21 is simple and convenient to process, and the flexible structure 21 and the side wall of the eccentric portion 2 have high connection reliability and long service life.

Fourth Embodiment

[0073] As shown in FIG. 15, the structure in the present embodiment is substantially identical to that in the third embodiment, the same components being denoted by like reference numerals, which only differs in that the eccentric portion 2 in the present embodiment is provided with the oil pressure surface 22. Specifically, the eccentric portion 2 is provided with the oil pressure surface 22, the two ends 22c of the oil pressure surface 22 in the axial direction of the eccentric portion 2 are adjacent to the two end faces 2a of the eccentric portion 2 respectively, and the two ends 22c of the oil pressure surface 22 in the axial direction of the eccentric portion 2 are spaced apart from the two end faces 2a of the eccentric portion 2. That is, the two ends 22c of the oil pressure surface 22 in the axial direction of the eccentric portion 2 do not adjoin the two end faces 2a of the eccentric portion 2 directly, such that it is convenient to process and a better lubrication effect can be achieved.

Fifth Embodiment

[0074] As shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, the structure in the present embodiment is substantially identical to that in the embodiment four, the same components being denoted by like reference numerals, which only differs in two aspects. In the first aspect, a shape of the flexible structure 21 in the present embodiment is different from a shape of the flexible structure 21 in the fourth embodiment. Specifically, the first end 211 and the second end 212 of the flexible structure 21 in the fourth embodiment are both connected to the side wall of the eccentric portion 2 (as shown in FIG. 15), but in the present embodiment, only the first end 211 of the flexible structure 21 is connected to the side wall of the eccentric portion 2, and the second end 212 of the flexible structure 21 is spaced apart from the side wall of the eccentric portion 2. In the second aspect, a shape of the oil pressure surface 22 in the present embodiment is different from a shape of the oil pressure surface 22 in the fourth embodiment. Specifically, the oil pressure surface 22 is formed to be a curved surface in the fourth embodiment (as shown in FIG. 15), but in the present embodiment, the oil pressure surface 22 includes two segment connected in a circumferential direction. A first segment 22a is formed to be a combination of a curved surface and a flat surface, and two ends 22c of the first segment 22a in the axial direction of the eccentric portion 2 adjoin the two end faces 2a of the eccentric portion 2 respectively. A second segment 22b is formed to be a curved surface, and two ends 22c of the second segment 22b in the axial direction of the eccentric portion 2 are adjacent to but do not adjoin the two end faces 2a of the eccentric portion 2 respectively. Thus, the oil pressure surface 22 is also convenient to process and manufacture, and the lubricating effect between the piston 205 and the eccentric portion 2 is improved. Certainly, the structure of the oil pressure surface 22 may also be designed according to the actual requirement so as to meet the actual requirement better.
