Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/394,739 filed Jul. 10, 2002, which Provisional Application is incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention is related generally to a mechanical linkage for connecting a linear motor to a piston or pistons of a reciprocating compressor. Specifically, the present invention is directed to a mechanical linkage for a linear motor that defines a travel path for the piston(s).
- A standard refrigeration or heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a refrigerant fluid, an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve. In a typical refrigeration cycle, the compressor compresses a refrigerant vapor and delivers the vapor to the condenser through a discharge line. The refrigerant vapor delivered to the condenser enters into a heat exchange relationship with another fluid in the condenser and undergoes a phase change to a refrigerant liquid as a result of the heat exchange relationship with the other condenser fluid. The condensed liquid refrigerant from the condenser flows through an expansion valve to the evaporator. The liquid refrigerant in the evaporator enters into a heat exchange relationship with another fluid in the evaporator and undergoes a phase change to a refrigerant vapor as a result of the heat exchange relationship with the other evaporator fluid. The vapor refrigerant in the evaporator exits the evaporator and returns to the compressor by a suction line to complete the cycle. By means of example only, the refrigerant fluid used in the system can be ammonia, ethyl chloride, CFCs, HFCs, Freon®, or other known refrigerants.
- One type of compressor that can be used in a HVAC or refrigeration system is a reciprocating compressor. A linear motor can be used to drive the reciprocating compressor to improve the efficiency and/or reliability of the compressor. In some applications, linear motors are used with small compressors without positive travel stops for the piston and drive mechanism. However, when the linear motor is connected or attached directly to a piston to compress refrigerant gas, the piston has a tendency to overtravel in light load conditions and undertravel in high load conditions.
- Therefore, what is needed is a mechanism to connect between a linear motor and a piston of reciprocating compressor that can operate as a motion stop for a linear motor, define a positive predetermined piston path at all load conditions and prevent undertravel and overtravel of the piston driver assembly.
- One embodiment of the present invention is directed to a reciprocating compressor having a linear motor, at least one piston and cylinder arrangement and a mechanism operatively connecting the linear motor to the piston and cylinder arrangement. The piston and cylinder arrangement operates to compress a fluid, preferably a refrigerant gas, and has a cylinder, a piston configured and disposed to travel in the cylinder, and a piston rod connected to the piston. The mechanism connects the linear motor to the piston rod to move the piston in the cylinder upon operation of the linear motor. The mechanism is configured and disposed to limit overtravel of the piston in the cylinder in response to a light load of the reciprocating compressor and to limit undertravel of the piston in the cylinder in response to a heavy load in the reciprocating compressor. The mechanism connecting the linear motor to the piston and cylinder arrangement can include a connecting rod and eccentric, a cam mechanism, a wobble plate mechanism, or a track mechanism, among other things.
- Another embodiment of the present invention is directed to a mechanism for connecting a linear motor to a piston-cylinder arrangement such as in a reciprocating compressor. In this embodiment, the mechanism operates to move the piston in the cylinder upon operation of the linear motor, and includes a mechanical configuration to limit overtravel and undertravel of the piston in the cylinder.
- One advantage of the present invention is that it prevents undertravel and overtravel of the piston driver assembly when a linear motor is used with a reciprocating compressor.
- Another advantage of the present invention is that the piston travels a positive and predetermined path when a linear motor is used with a reciprocating compressor.
- Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following more detailed description of the preferred embodiment, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.
- FIG. 1 illustrates schematically a first embodiment of a mechanical linkage configuration of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 illustrates schematically a second embodiment of a mechanical linkage configuration of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 illustrates schematically a third embodiment of a mechanical linkage configuration of the present invention.
- Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.
- FIGS.1-3 illustrate several embodiments of the present invention. A
linear motor 10 is used to drive or move a mechanism that defines the path of the piston orpistons 30 in a reciprocatingcompressor 40. It is to be understood that thereciprocating compressor 40 includes many other components that are well known in the art which are not shown herein for purposes of simplicity and clarity. The mechanism can be a connecting rodeccentric type mechanism 20 as shown in FIG. 1, or the mechanism can be any other type of piston path defining mechanism, including but not limited to a cam type, gear type, sliding track type, “wobble plate” type or any other suitable piston path defining mechanism. In the embodiments of the present invention, the mechanism controls the path and travel of one ormore pistons 30, thereby preventing eachpiston 30 from overextension during light loads and underextension during heavy loads. Preferably, themechanism 20 provides a constant predetermined top dead center piston position and bottom dead center piston position to limit or eliminate overtravel and undertravel of thepiston 30 in thecylinder 50. - The
reciprocating compressor 40 of the present invention includes one ormore cylinders 50. Positioned in each of the cylinder(s) 50 is apiston 30 that can move back and forth in thecylinder 50 in an axial direction. Thepiston 30 is used to compress a refrigerant gas in thecylinder 50 by traveling toward a closed end of thecylinder 50 to compress the refrigerant gas between the piston face and the closed end of the cylinder. Apiston rod 32 is connected to thepiston 30 to move thepiston 30 in thecylinder 50. Thepiston rod 32 is connected to a connecting mechanism 20 (see FIG. 1), which in turn is connected to thelinear motor 10. Preferably, theconnecting mechanism 20 also operates to limit movement of thepiston rod 32 in the axial direction while moving thepiston 30 toward the closed end of thecylinder 50 and while withdrawing thepiston 30 from the closed end of thecylinder 50. The operation of thelinear motor 10 andconnecting mechanism 20 displace thepiston rod 32 to move thepiston 30 back and forth in thecylinder 50. - During operation of the
linear motor 10, one ormore stators 8 drive or move arotor 12 back and forth in the same axial direction as thepiston 30 as shown in FIG. 1. Connected to therotor 12 are one or more connecting linkages 14 that connect therotor 12 to theconnecting mechanism 20. Theconnecting mechanism 20 shown in FIG. 1 is a connecting rodeccentric type mechanism 20 mounted onbearings 21 or other suitable rotating structures using known methods in the art. The movement of therotor 12 of thelinear motor 10 moves the connecting linkages 14, which turn or displace theconnecting mechanism 20 thereby moving thepiston rod 32 to propel thepiston 30 back and forth in thecylinder 50. The movement of thepiston 30 andpiston rod 32 in thecylinder 50 is dependent on the direction of movement of therotor 12 and linkages 14 and the particular configuration of theconnecting mechanism 20. The use of theconnecting mechanism 20 defines a positive, controlled and predetermined travel path for thepiston rod 32 andpiston 30, thereby preventing the overextension or underextension of thepiston 30 during certain loading conditions of the compressor. - As shown in FIG. 2, a gear-type mechanism120 is used to connect the
linear motor 10 and the piston rod(s) 32. The mechanism 120 includes alinear gear 22 that is connected to and driven by the linkage 14 that is driven by therotor 12. Theliner gear 22 preferably includes opposed first andsecond gear surfaces gear surface linear gear 22. Thegear surface gear surface corresponding piston rod 32. Each connecting gear 28 is shaped so as to smoothly engage thegear surface rod 32 with a minimum of energy loss, and to provide a pre-determined and controlled travel path for thepiston rod 32 andpiston 30. Preferably, the travel path includes predetermined top-dead center piston position and bottom-dead center piston position which remain constant despite load increases and decreases. In an alternative embodiment not illustrated, a single gear surface is provided on the linear gear, with a plurality of connecting gears aligned such that each connecting gear is in contact with the gear surface, each connecting gear driving a corresponding piston rod to propel a corresponding piston. - As shown in FIG. 3, a track-type mechanism220 is used to connect the
linear motor 10 and piston rod(s) 32. The mechanism 220 includes a drive block 60 having an embedded track 62 for receiving a drive pin 64. The drive pin 64 is connected to the linkage 14 that is in turn driven by therotor 12. The drive pin 64 is also connected to one ormore piston rods 32. As therotor 12 drives the linkage 14, the drive pin 64 is moved in the track 62. As the drive pin 64 moves, it pushes thepiston rod 32 to force thepiston 30 to move in thecylinder 50. The track 62 is shaped and sloped so as to smoothly engage thepiston connecting rod 32 to drive thepiston 30 up and down in thecylinder 50 with a minimum of energy loss, and to provide a pre-determined and controlled travel path for thepiston rod 32 andpiston 30. Preferably, the travel path includes predetermined top-dead center piston position and bottom-dead center piston position which remain constant despite load increases and decreases. In the embodiment of FIG. 3, these positions are accomplished by the inclusion of substantially horizontal, non-sloped track sections 66 at each end of the track 62. When the drive pin 64 enters a horizontal section 66, the position of the connectingrod 32 remains substantially vertically constant, so that thepiston 30 is neither driven up nor pulled down until the pin is pulled or pushed back into the sloped portion of the track by the linkage 14. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 3, more than onepiston rod 32 is connected to the drive pin 64 so that reciprocatingopposed pistons 30 can be driven as the pin 64 moves throughout the track 62. - While the invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiment disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out this invention, but that the invention will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims.
