Background
Slide valve is a regulating mechanism that is very common in screw compressors and is commonly used for capacity regulation of the compressor, or internal compression ratio regulation of the compressor. As shown in FIG. 1, the cross-sectional profile of the spool valve 02 generally comprises a projection of the curved surfaces of the rotor bore, i.e., the arc of each of the female and male rotor bores. Theoretically, it is desirable that the curved surfaces (male rotor cavity inner wall curved surface 011 and female rotor cavity inner wall curved surface 012) completely coincide with the rotor cavity inner wall curved surfaces (slide valve male side arc 021 and slide valve female side arc 022) to ensure that a complete and smooth rotor cavity inner wall is formed, properly wrapping the male and female rotors, and ensuring compressor efficiency and reliable operation.
The applicant has found that the prior art has at least the following technical problems:
in practical application, as a reciprocating slide valve part, the two curved surfaces cannot be completely matched with the curved surfaces of the inner walls of the rotor cavities of the two curved surfaces due to the processing precision, the assembly precision, the reciprocating motion, the difference of thermal expansion forms and the like; when the curved surface is higher than the curved surface of the inner wall of the rotor cavity (forming an intruding part 04), the rotor can be rubbed with the curved surface of the slide valve to cause faults; when the curved surface is lower than the curved surface of the inner wall of the rotor cavity, the clearance 03 between the tooth top of the rotor and the curved surface of the slide valve is larger than the clearance between the tooth top of the rotor and the curved surface of the inner wall of the rotor cavity, extra leakage is caused, and the efficiency of the compressor is reduced.
The contour of the valve body of the current main slide valve is mostly in a perfect circle shape (except the two curved surfaces, the other parts are circular arc sections), so that the slide valve 02 inevitably has circumferential deflection in two directions at random, and no matter which direction the slide valve 02 deflects, the curved surface is higher than or lower than the curved surface of the inner wall of the rotor cavity, see fig. 2. In order to limit the excessive circumferential runout of the slide valve 02, a limiting device, such as a positioning key, is usually arranged again, so that the complexity of the slide valve mechanism is increased, the cost of the compressor is increased, and the reliability is reduced.
In addition, the diameter of the perfect circular slide valve is often large, especially for the slide valve 02 with low internal volume ratio and large orifice, after the shape requirement of the radial exhaust orifice of the slide valve 02 is met, the diameter of the slide valve is even close to the diameter of the rotor of the compressor, so that the size, the weight and the cost of the compressor are obviously increased.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the examples given herein without any inventive step, are within the scope of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the present invention provides a slide valve structure, which includes a slide valve body 2, wherein a cross section of the slide valve body 2 includes a female side arc 22 corresponding to an inner wall 12 of a female rotor cavity, a male side arc 21 corresponding to an inner wall 11 of a male rotor cavity, and a self-locking section 23, and the self-locking section 23 is formed by a plurality of segments, so that the slide valve body 2 forms a multi-prism anti-rotation structure, which can limit the rotation of the slide valve body 2.
The cross section of the slide valve body 2 comprises a self-locking section 23, the self-locking section 23 is formed by a plurality of sections, so that the slide valve body 2 forms a polygonal anti-rotation structure, the slide valve body 2 cannot rotate after being assembled to the shell 1 of the screw compressor, the deflection of the slide valve body 2 is prevented, a limiting device is not required to be arranged, the complexity of the structure is avoided, the cost of the screw compressor is controlled, and the reliability of the screw compressor is improved.
As an alternative embodiment, the latching section 23 is formed by a plurality of straight segments, so that a self-rotation of the slide valve body 2 is effectively avoided.
As an optional implementation mode, the multiple straight line segments are rounded off, and collision damage is reduced.
As an alternative embodiment, the self-locking section 23 comprises three straight segments, respectively a first section 231, a second section 232 and a third section 233, the first section 231 being arranged horizontally. On the basis of preventing the slide valve body 2 from rotating, the structure is simple and the processing is convenient; the first section 231 is horizontally arranged, which is beneficial to reducing the size in the vertical direction, namely reducing the radial size of the slide valve structure, simplifying the structure and saving the cost.
As an alternative embodiment, the second segment 232 and the third segment 233 are symmetrically arranged along the perpendicular bisector of the first segment 231, so that the installation is not distinguished, and is quick and convenient.
As an alternative embodiment, the included angle between the second section 232 and the first section 231 is α, the included angle between the third section 233 and the first section 231 is β, and both the included angle α and the included angle β are acute angles, so that a tapered structure with a lower dimension larger than an upper dimension is formed, and the spool body 2 is prevented from being lifted up.
As an alternative embodiment, the included angle α ═ β, the structure is symmetrical, and the processing and installation are convenient.
As an alternative embodiment, the self-locking section 23 tapers from the bottom side away from the rotor cavity to the direction close to the rotor cavity, which can simultaneously ensure that the slide valve does not have a lifting hazard without adding an additional limiting mechanism.
As shown in fig. 3, the cross-sectional profile of the spool valve is composed of a spool valve male side circular arc 21, a spool valve female side circular arc 22, a spool valve male side plane as the second section 232 of the self-locking section 23, a spool valve female side plane as the third section 233, and a spool valve bottom plane as the first section 231. The cross section of the shape ensures that the sliding valve body 2 does not deflect in the circumferential direction after being assembled in the shell 1 of the screw compressor, so that other deflection-preventing structural designs are not needed. Meanwhile, except for the slide valve male side arc 21 and the slide valve female side arc 22 in the cross-sectional profile of the slide valve body 2, the rest sections are not formed by an arc, but by a plurality of planes with projections as straight line segments, so that the vertical distance H from the first section 231 to the center of the rotor cavity can be set at will according to actual conditions, and can be reduced to the minimum value according to manufacturability, so that the slide valve body 2 does not additionally increase the overall width or height of the compressor, and the overall appearance of the whole compressor is more compact.
As shown in fig. 4, the slide valve male side plane and the slide valve female side plane are respectively inclined toward the middle by the angles α and β, so that the slide valve body 2 is "locked" by the casing 1 of the screw compressor, and the upward lifting of the slide valve body 2 is restricted.
In practical application, the lengths of the arc 21 on the male side of the slide valve and the arc 22 on the female side of the slide valve can be adjusted arbitrarily according to the size of the discharge hole of the compressor, and are not limited by the dimension H. In the conventional circular slide valve, after the distance from the axis to the connecting line of the axes of the male rotor cavity and the female rotor cavity is determined, the size H is obtained by adding the radius of the circular slide valve. When the slide valve is not designed according to a perfect circle, the slide valve is not limited by the radius, namely the slide valve can be made to be flat, the size H is reduced, the size of the compressor is further reduced, and the screw compressor is more compact.
The invention provides a screw compressor, which comprises a shell 1 and any slide valve structure.
After the screw compressor uses the slide valve structure, the screw compressor can automatically limit the position, prevent the occurrence of deflection and does not need to add extra parts; meanwhile, the radial size of the slide valve structure is greatly reduced, so that the height or width of the compressor is more compact, the cost of the compressor is reduced, the structure of the running part of the compressor is simplified, and the performance and the reliability of the compressor are improved.
