Abstract

The present disclosure is related to a slide valve, a slide valve adjustment mechanism and a screw compressor. The slide valve includes a static slide valve and a moving slide valve, wherein the static slide valve is fixedly installed in a slide valve cavity and provided with an axially-penetrating valve hole; a plurality of bypass holes communicating with the valve hole ( 110 ) are formed in the sidewall of the static slide valve, and an exhaust port is formed in the sidewall of one end of the static slide valve. The slide valve may avoid scraping between the slide valve and a screw rotor and the slide valve cavity. Gaps between the slide valve and parts which cooperate with same are reduced, so that the leakage is reduced while the energy efficiency of the compressor is increased.

Claims (14)

1. A slide valve, comprising a static slide valve and a moving slide valve, wherein the static slide valve is fixedly installed in a slide valve cavity, and the static slide valve is provided with an axially-penetrating valve hole;

wherein a plurality of bypass holes communicating with the valve hole are formed in the sidewall of the static slide valve, an exhaust port is formed in the sidewall of one end of the static slide valve; and the moving slide valve comprises a valve body, and the valve body is slidably arranged in the valve hole;

wherein a limiting structure is provided between the static slide valve and the moving slide valve, and the limiting structure limits a limiting position for the sliding of the valve body towards the exhaust port along the valve hole;

wherein the valve body opens all of the plurality of bypass holes when moving towards the exhaust port to the limiting position, and the valve body sequentially closes all of the plurality of bypass holes when moving towards a direction away from the exhaust port, and

wherein the exhaust port is a right-angled groove provided in an outer sidewall of the static slide valve, and the exhaust port and the valve hole are isolated from each other.

2. The slide valve according to claim 1 , wherein the limiting structure comprises a protrusion provided on the sidewall of the static slide valve, and the protrusion protrudes out of the hole wall of the valve hole along the radial direction of the static slide valve, and the protrusion abuts against one end of the valve body close to the exhaust port.

3. The slide valve according to claim 1 , wherein the moving slide valve comprises a connection portion connected to one end of the valve body away from the exhaust port, and the connection portion is connected to a piston assembly.

4. The slide valve according to claim 3 , wherein the moving slide valve further comprises a guide portion connected to one end of the valve body away from the connection portion, and one end of the static slide valve is provided with a guide hole for the guide portion to pass through.

5. The slide valve according to claim 4 , wherein the limiting structure is arranged at one end of the static slide valve close to the exhaust port, and the guide hole is provided in the limiting structure.

6. The slide valve according to claim 4 , wherein along an axial direction of the static slide valve, a sum of a length of the guide portion and a length of the valve body is greater than or equal to a sum of a length of the guide hole and a length of the valve hole.

7. The slide valve according to claim 1 , wherein along an axial direction of the static slide valve, a length of the valve body is greater than a length of the plurality of bypass holes.

8. The slide valve according to claim 1 , wherein along an axial direction of the static slide valve, a sum of a length of the valve body and a length of the plurality of bypass holes is smaller than a length of the valve hole.

9. A slide valve adjustment mechanism, comprising the slide valve according to claim 1 and a piston assembly, wherein the valve body is connected to the piston assembly.

10. A screw compressor, comprising a body provided with a slide valve cavity, wherein the screw compressor comprises the slide valve adjustment mechanism according to claim 9 , and the static slide valve is fixedly installed in the slide valve cavity.
