Abstract

Pump body assembly, fluid machinery, and a heat exchange device. The pump body assembly includes: an upper flange; a lower flange; a cylinder arranged between the upper flange and the lower flange; a sliding block structure, rotatably arranged inside the cylinder, where the sliding block structure includes a connecting portion and two sliding sub-blocks arranged on the connecting portion, and the two sliding sub-blocks and an inner wall surface of the cylinder form a first sliding hole; a piston, slidably arranged inside the first sliding hole, where a variable volume cavity is formed between the piston and an inner wall of the cylinder, and the piston has a second sliding hole; and a rotation shaft, where at least a portion of the rotation shaft is slidably arranged inside the second sliding hole.

Claims (23)

1. A pump body assembly, comprising:

an upper flange;

a lower flange;

a cylinder, arranged between the upper flange and the lower flange;

a sliding block structure, rotatably arranged inside the cylinder, the sliding block structure comprising a connecting portion and two sliding sub-blocks arranged on the connecting portion, and the two sliding sub-blocks and an inner wall of the cylinder forming a first sliding hole;

a piston, slidably arranged inside the first sliding hole, a variable volume cavity being formed between the piston and an inner wall of the cylinder, and the piston having a second sliding hole; and

a rotation shaft, wherein at least a portion of the rotation shaft is slidably arranged inside the second sliding hole, and a slide included angle is formed between a first sliding direction, in which the piston slides relative to the first sliding hole, and a second sliding direction, in which the rotation shaft slides relative to the second sliding hole;

wherein: the two sliding sub-blocks each comprise an inner side approximately perpendicular to the connecting portion, the inner side of each of the two sliding sub-blocks faces the piston and is a flat surface; an upper side of the sliding block structure opposite to the connecting portion is open, and upper ends of the two sliding sub-blocks opposite to the connecting portion are aligned with a top of the piston;

there is at least one connecting portion; the at least one connecting portion is provided with a first through hole; and the rotation shaft passes through the first through hole;

the first through hole is arranged on the at least one connecting portion; a position-limiting protrusion is arranged on the lower flange; the first through hole and position-limiting protrusion are nested and fit to connect the sliding block structure with the lower flange;

the position-limiting protrusion extends into the first through hole to enable the sliding block structure to pivot relative to the lower flange; the position-limiting protrusion has a second through hole; and the rotation shaft passes through the second through hole.

2. The pump body assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the position-limiting protrusion is a round protruding platform arranged coaxially with the lower flange; the second through hole and the round protruding platform are eccentrically arranged, and an eccentricity e is fixed; and the cylinder and the lower flange are arranged coaxially.

3. The pump body assembly according to claim 1 , wherein an inner cavity of the cylinder is in a shape of a circular hole; opposite flat surfaces of the two sliding sub-blocks are surfaces on which the piston slides, and are parallel to each other; and surfaces of the two sliding sub-blocks, which face the inner cavity, fit the shape of the inner cavity.

4. The pump body assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding block structure is manufactured and processed through cutting.

5. The pump body assembly according to claim 1 , wherein an exhaust hole is disposed in a side wall of the cylinder; the pump body assembly further comprises an exhaust valve assembly; the exhaust valve assembly is arranged on an outer surface of the cylinder and arranged corresponding to the exhaust hole.

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

7. A heat exchange device, comprising the fluid machinery according to claim 6 .

8. The pump body assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the variable volume cavity comprises two cavities, and each cavity is formed by an arc surface of the piston and the inner wall of the cylinder.

9. The pump body assembly according to claim 1 , wherein an eccentricity between a centerline O 1 of the sliding block structure and a centerline O 2 of the rotation shaft is the eccentricity e, and the sliding block structure and the rotation shaft rotate around their respective centerlines.

10. The pump body assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one connecting portion is one connecting portion, and the connecting portion is disposed at ends of the two sliding sub-blocks, which are proximate to the lower flange, to connect the two sliding sub-blocks together.

11. The pump body assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding block structure is symmetrical.

12. The pump body assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a lubrication groove is provided on each rotation shaft sliding surface, and the lubrication groove is connected to a center hole of the rotation shaft through an oil passage hole.

13. The pump body assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the cylinder has a suction passage extending along a radial direction of the cylinder, and an outlet of the suction passage is arc-shaped.
