Abstract

A pump body assembly, fluid machinery, and a heat exchange device. The pump body assembly includes: at least two structure members; a cylinder disposed between the two structure members; and a piston assembly disposed in the cylinder. The piston assembly includes a piston sleeve and a piston slidably disposed in the piston sleeve; an upper end surface of the piston sleeve fits and is limited by a lower end surface of one structure member disposed above the piston sleeve, to prevent the piston sleeve from displacing along a radial direction relative to the one structure member, and effectively solving a problem in prior art that working efficiency of the pump body assembly is affected because the piston sleeve of the pump body assembly is prone to eccentrically rotate.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A pump body assembly, comprising:
at least two structure members,
a cylinder arranged between the two structure members, and
a piston assembly arranged in the cylinder;
wherein the piston assembly comprises a piston sleeve and a piston slidably arranged in the piston sleeve; an upper end surface of the piston sleeve fits and is limited by a lower end surface of one structure member disposed above the piston sleeve to prevent the piston sleeve from moving in a radial direction relative to the one structure member;
a position-limiting protrusion is provided on a lower end surface of the piston sleeve;
the at least two structure members include the one structure member disposed above the cylinder and another structure member disposed below the cylinder, wherein the other structure member disposed below the cylinder comprises a lower flange and a lower position-limiting plate; the lower position-limiting plate is disposed between the cylinder and the lower flange; the position-limiting protrusion is limited and stopped by the lower position-limiting plate;
a second extended part is provided on the surface of the lower flange, and the surface of the lower flange faces the piston sleeve; the second extended part is located inside the position-limiting protrusion; and the second extended part limits and stops the position-limiting protrusion.

2. The pump body assembly according to claim 1 , wherein one of the at least two structure members is disposed above the piston sleeve is an upper flange.

3. The pump body assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the upper end surface of the piston sleeve has a first extended part; the lower end surface of the upper flange has a concave part; and the first extended part extends into the concave part, and is limited and stopped by the concave part in a radial direction of the piston sleeve.

4. The pump body assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the pump body assembly further comprises a rotation shaft; the rotation shaft passes through the upper flange, the piston sleeve, and the lower flange in sequence; and the rotation shaft, the upper flange, and the lower flange are arranged coaxially.

5. The pump body assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the position-limiting protrusion extends into a central hole of the lower position-limiting plate, fits and is limited by an inner surface of the central hole of the lower position-limiting plate.

6. Fluid machinery, characterized by comprising the pump body assembly according to claim 1 .

7. A heat exchange device, characterized by comprising the fluid machinery of claim 6 .
