Abstract

The present disclosure provides a compressor rotor, a compressor and a refrigerant circulation system. The compressor rotor includes: a motor rotor including a plurality of rotor sections, a locking rod, a compression unit rotating part and a locking member. The rotor sections are fixedly connected in an axial direction and are provided with an axial through hole and the locking rod penetrates through the axial through hole. The compression unit rotating part is located at the end part of the motor rotor and is connected to the locking rod. The locking member is configured to lock the compression unit rotating part on the locking rod. The locking rod, the compression unit rotating part and the locking member form a pressing structure which applies a pressure toward an axial inner side to the motor rotor.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A compressor rotor, comprising:
a motor rotor comprising a plurality of rotor sections fixedly connected in an axial direction, wherein the plurality of rotor sections are provided with an axial through hole;
a locking rod penetrating through the axial through hole;
a compression unit rotating part located on an end of the motor rotor and connected to the locking rod; and
a locking member configured to lock the compression unit rotating part on the locking rod, wherein the locking rod, the compression unit rotating part, and the locking member form a pressing structure which applies a pressure toward an axial inner side to the motor rotor;
wherein the axial through hole comprises a small-diameter section and two large-diameter sections which have a larger diameter than the small-diameter section;
the locking rod comprises a rod body in clearance fit with the small-diameter section and two protrusion parts arranged on the rod body and radially protruding outwards from the rod body, wherein the protrusion parts are fit with the large-diameter section;
an axial middle part of the motor rotor comprises a permanent magnet, the small-diameter section is located at an axial middle part of the axial through hole;
the two large-diameter sections are respectively located at a first end and a second end of the axial through hole;
at least one of the two protrusion parts is a movable protrusion part movable relative to the rod body;
the rod body is provided with a shaft shoulder, and the movable protrusion part is arranged between a surface of one end of the motor rotor and the shaft shoulder;
the compression unit rotating part at one end of the motor rotor where the movable protrusion part is arranged comprises an axial lug boss;
the axial lug boss extends into the axial through hole; and
the movable protrusion part is axially arranged between the shaft shoulder and an end face of the axial lug boss.

2. The compressor rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the compression unit rotating part and the locking member are respectively arranged on a first end and a second end of the locking rod.

3. The compressor rotor according to claim 1 , wherein
the end part of the locking rod is provided with an external thread; and
the locking member comprises a locknut engaged with the external thread.

4. The compressor rotor according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the two protrusion parts is a protruding ring.

5. The compressor rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the movable protrusion part is engaged with an inner wall of the axial through hole through a key to limit the circumferential position of the movable protrusion part.

6. The compressor rotor according to claim 1 , wherein a fitting clearance between the fixed protrusion part and the corresponding large-diameter section is smaller than a fitting clearance between the rod body and the small-diameter section.

7. The compressor rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the movable protrusion part is in clearance fit with the rod body.

8. The compressor rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of rotor sections comprise:
the permanent magnet;
a first end shaft section fixedly arranged at a first end of the permanent magnet; and
a second end shaft section fixedly arranged at a second end of the permanent magnet.

9. The compressor rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the compression unit rotating part comprises a centrifugal impeller.

10. A compressor, comprising the compressor rotor according to claim 1 .

11. The compressor according to claim 10 , wherein the compressor comprises a gas bearing, and the compressor rotor is supported on the gas bearing.

12. A refrigerant circulation system, comprising the compressor according to claim 10 .
