Abstract

A pump body assembly and a compressor with the pump body assembly. The pump body assembly includes: an oil supply passage for circulating oil; and two back pressure members, at least one of the two back pressure members being provided with a back pressure groove, the back pressure groove including a first groove section and a second groove section, the first groove section and the second groove section are disposed at intervals, the first groove section communicating with the oil supply passage, the second groove section communicating with the oil supply passage, wherein the communication area of the first groove section and the oil supply passage is a, the communication area of the second groove section and the oil supply passage is b, and a<b.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A pump body assembly, comprising:
an oil supply passage configured for circulating oil;
two back pressure members, wherein at least one back pressure member of the two back pressure members is provided with a back pressure groove, the back pressure groove comprises a first groove section and a second groove section, the first groove section and the second groove section are disposed at intervals, the first groove section is communicated with the oil supply passage, and the second groove section is communicated with the oil supply passage; wherein
wherein the oil supply passage comprises:
a flow passage disposed in the at least one back pressure member, wherein the flow passage comprises a first flow passage and a second flow passage, the first flow passage and the second flow passage are through holes penetrating the at least one back pressure member, the first flow passage is communicated with the first groove section, and the second flow passage is communicated with the second groove section;
wherein an area of a first opening, communicated with the first groove section, of the first flow passage is a, and an area of a second opening, communicated with the second groove section, of the second flow passage is b, and a<b.

2. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pump body assembly further comprises a rotary shaft which passes through the two back pressure members, and the oil supply passage further comprises:
an oil passage disposed on the rotary shaft, wherein the oil passage is communicated with the first flow passage and the oil passage is communicated with the second flow passage.

3. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the oil supply passage further comprises:
an oil cavity provided on the at least one back pressure member, wherein the oil cavity is communicated with the oil passage and the oil cavity is communicated with the flow passage so that the oil passage is communicated with the first flow passage through the oil cavity, and the oil passage is communicated with the second flow passage through the oil cavity; wherein
the flow passage is disposed between the oil cavity and the back pressure groove.

4. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the back pressure groove further comprises:
a third groove section, wherein the second groove section is disposed between the third groove section and the first groove section;
wherein a width of the third groove section is smaller than a width of the second groove section.

5. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the third groove section is communicated with the oil supply passage.

6. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the third groove section is communicated with the second groove section.

7. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a cross-section of the first flow passage is of circular-shaped or polygonal-shaped and a cross-section of the second flow passage is of circular-shaped or polygonal-shaped.

8. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first groove section is an arc groove and the second groove section is an arc groove.

9. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two back pressure members are an upper flange and a lower flange respectively, wherein the back pressure groove comprises two back pressure grooves, one of the two back pressure grooves is disposed on an end face of the upper flange facing the lower flange, and the other of the two back pressure grooves is disposed on an end face of the lower flange facing the upper flange.

10. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 9 , wherein a projection of the back pressure groove on the upper flange to the lower flange coincides with the back pressure groove on the lower flange.

11. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two back pressure members are an upper flange and a lower flange respectively, wherein the back pressure groove comprises two back pressure grooves, one of the two back pressure grooves is provided on an end face of the upper flange facing the lower flange, the other of the two back pressure grooves is provided on an end face of the lower flange facing the upper flange, and at least part of the oil supply passage is disposed on the lower flange.

12. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pump body assembly further comprises:
a pump body, wherein an oil outlet of the pump body is communicated with the oil supply passage so that the pump body conveys the oil in an oil tank into the oil supply passage.

13. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a cross-section of the first flow passage is of circular-shaped or polygonal-shaped.

14. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a cross-section of the second flow passage is of circular-shaped or polygonal-shaped.

15. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first groove section is an arc groove.

16. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second groove section is an arc groove.

17. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two back pressure members are an upper flange and a lower flange respectively, wherein the back pressure groove is provided on an end face of the upper flange facing the lower flange.

18. The pump body assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the back pressure groove is provided on an end face of the lower flange facing the upper flange.

19. A compressor, comprising the pump body assembly as claimed in claim 1 .
