Abstract

A compressor exhaust structure includes a machine body, an exhaust bearing seat provided at an exhaust end of the machine body and an oil separating barrel covering the exhaust bearing seat, the exhaust bearing seat is provided with a first exhaust chamber, the machine body is provided with a second exhaust chamber, a third exhaust chamber is formed between the exhaust bearing seat and an inner wall of the oil separating barrel, the first exhaust chamber is in fluid communication with the second exhaust chamber, the second exhaust chamber is in fluid communication with the third exhaust chamber, and the third exhaust chamber is in fluid communication with a discharge port of the oil separating barrel. The compressor exhaust structure increases the flow path of the gas flow, facilitates the insulation of gas flow noise and reduces gas flow pulsation.

Claims

1. A compressor exhaust structure, comprising:

a machine body,

an exhaust bearing seat provided at an exhaust end of the machine body, and

an oil separating barrel covering the exhaust bearing seat,

wherein;

the exhaust bearing seat is provided with a first exhaust chamber, the machine body is provided with a second exhaust chamber, a third exhaust chamber is formed between the exhaust bearing seat and an inner wall of the oil separating barrel, the first exhaust chamber is in fluid communication with the second exhaust chamber, the second exhaust chamber is in fluid communication with the third exhaust chamber, and the third exhaust chamber is in fluid communication with a discharge port of the oil separating barrel; and

wherein an interior of the first exhaust chamber is located opposite to an interior of the second exhaust chamber, and the first exhaust chamber is overlapped with a portion of the second exhaust chamber, and a portion of the second exhaust chamber, which portion is not overlapped with the first exhaust chamber, forms a gas flow passage which is in communication with the third exhaust chamber.

2. The compressor exhaust structure according to claim 1, wherein the first exhaust chamber comprises a bearing exhaust port and a bearing discharge chamber, the bearing exhaust port is arranged in an axial direction of the exhaust bearing seat, the bearing discharge chamber is arranged in an intake-side end surface of the exhaust bearing seat, and the bearing exhaust port is in communication with the bearing discharge chamber.

3. The compressor exhaust structure according to claim 2, wherein the bearing exhaust port is arranged below a male rotor bearing chamber and a female rotor bearing chamber in the exhaust bearing seat, and is located at an exhaust end of a slide valve chamber in the exhaust bearing seat.

4. A screw compressor, comprising the compressor exhaust structure according to claim 3.

5. The compressor exhaust structure according to claim 2, wherein the bearing discharge chamber is located below the male rotor bearing chamber in the exhaust bearing seat, and the second exhaust chamber is located below the male rotor chamber in the machine body.

6. A screw compressor, comprising the compressor exhaust structure according to claim 5.

7. The compressor exhaust structure according to claim 2, wherein a baffle is provided on the exhaust bearing seat at a position where the bearing discharge chamber is arranged, and the gas flow from the bearing discharge chamber is entered into the second exhaust chamber by the baffle.

8. A screw compressor, comprising the compressor exhaust structure according to claim 7.

9. A screw compressor, comprising the compressor exhaust structure according to claim 2.

10. A screw compressor, comprising the compressor exhaust structure according to claim 1.

11. An air-conditioning unit, comprising the screw compressor according to claim 10.
