Abstract

A dynamic vortex disk for a compressor includes a dynamic substrate with a first side and a second side, and a dynamic vortex wall, which is integrally molded with the dynamic substrate, and extends around an axis of the dynamic substrate at the first side and away from the axis. The dynamic vortex wall further has an end surface opposite to the first side and away from the second side, and a groove deviating from a centerline of the dynamic vortex wall and formed on the end surface. The groove has a proximal end close to the axis of the dynamic substrate and an opposing distal end. An air supply channel is configured to extend along the axis through an interior of the dynamic vortex wall until it opens to the second side. The groove and the air supply channel are connected at the distal end.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A dynamic vortex disk ( 26 ) comprising:
a dynamic substrate ( 28 ) with a first side ( 30 ) and a second side ( 32 ) opposite to each other;
a dynamic vortex wall ( 34 ), which is integrally molded with the dynamic substrate ( 28 ), and extends around an axis of the dynamic substrate ( 28 ) at the first side ( 30 ) of the dynamic substrate ( 28 ) and away from the axis, the dynamic vortex wall ( 34 ) further has an end surface ( 38 ) opposite to the first side ( 30 ) and away from the second side ( 32 );
a groove ( 46 ) deviating from a centerline of the dynamic vortex wall ( 34 ) and formed on the end surface ( 38 ), the groove ( 46 ) having a proximal end ( 48 ) close to the axis of the dynamic substrate ( 28 ) and an opposing distal end ( 50 );
an air supply channel ( 52 ) configured to extend along the axis through an interior of the dynamic vortex wall ( 34 ) until the air supply channel ( 52 ) opens to the second side ( 32 ), with the groove ( 46 ) and the air supply channel ( 52 ) connected at the distal end ( 50 ).

2. The dynamic vortex disk according to claim 1 , wherein the groove ( 46 ) is configured such that a centerline of the groove ( 46 ) deviates from the centerline of the dynamic vortex wall ( 34 ) by a distance of not less than 0.1 times a thickness of the dynamic vortex wall ( 34 ).

3. The dynamic vortex disk according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the groove ( 46 ) is no less than 0.1 times a thickness of the dynamic vortex wall ( 34 ) and no more than 0.9 times the thickness of the dynamic vortex wall ( 34 ).

4. The dynamic vortex disk according to claim 1 , wherein the groove ( 46 ) is configured to remain proximal to a radially relative inner side of the dynamic vortex wall ( 34 ) from the proximal end ( 48 ) to the distal end ( 50 ).

5. The dynamic vortex disk according to claim 4 , wherein the groove ( 46 ) is further provided with a guiding port ( 60 ) at the distal end ( 50 ), the guiding port ( 60 ) being configured such that a diameter of the guiding port ( 60 ) is greater than a width of the groove ( 46 ), a center of the guiding port ( 60 ) coincides with the centerline of the dynamic vortex wall ( 34 ), and the air supply channel ( 52 ) is aligned with the center of the guiding port ( 60 ).

6. The dynamic vortex disk according to claim 4 , wherein the groove ( 46 ) has a constant width throughout its depth.

7. The dynamic vortex disk according to claim 1 , wherein the groove ( 46 ) is further provided with a suction aperture ( 58 ) at the proximal end ( 48 ), the suction aperture ( 58 ) being configured such that a center of the suction aperture ( 58 ) coincides with the centerline of the dynamic vortex wall ( 34 ).

8. The dynamic vortex disk according to claim 7 , wherein the groove ( 46 ) is further provided with a sealing strip ( 62 ) between the proximal end ( 48 ) and the distal end ( 50 ), the groove ( 46 ) having a cross-section with a stepped profile, wherein the stepped profile comprises a narrow upper portion ( 66 ) and a wider lower portion ( 68 ), and the sealing strip ( 62 ) is configured to fill the upper portion ( 66 ).

9. The dynamic vortex disk according to claim 7 , wherein the groove ( 46 ) is further provided with a guiding port ( 60 ) at the distal end ( 50 ), the guiding port ( 60 ) being configured such that a diameter of the guiding port ( 60 ) is greater than a width of the groove ( 46 ), a center of the guiding port ( 60 ) coincides with the centerline of the dynamic vortex wall ( 34 ), and the air supply channel ( 52 ) is aligned with the center of the guiding port ( 60 ).

10. A compressor comprising:
a housing ( 10 ) having an accommodating cavity ( 12 );
a static vortex disk ( 14 ) fixed in the accommodating cavity ( 12 ), wherein the static vortex disk ( 14 ) comprises an integrally molded static substrate ( 16 ) and a static vortex wall ( 18 ), with a discharge outlet ( 20 ) provided at a center of the static substrate ( 16 );
an intermediate disk ( 22 ) fixed in the accommodating cavity ( 12 );
a dynamic vortex disk ( 26 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the dynamic vortex disk ( 26 ) is mounted between the static vortex disk ( 14 ) and the intermediate disk ( 22 ), the end surface ( 38 ) of the dynamic vortex wall ( 34 ) is in sliding contact with the static substrate ( 16 ), and a side of the dynamic vortex wall ( 34 ) is engaged with a side of the static vortex wall ( 18 );
a compression chamber ( 42 ) formed between the static vortex disk ( 14 ) and the first side ( 30 ) of the dynamic substrate ( 28 ), with the compression chamber ( 42 ) connected to the discharge outlet ( 20 ); and
a back pressure chamber ( 44 ) formed between the second side ( 32 ) of the dynamic substrate ( 28 ) and the intermediate disk ( 22 ), with the air supply channel ( 52 ) connected to the back pressure chamber ( 44 ).

11.
