Abstract

The present invention provides a counterweight for a compressor, an electric motor, with the counterweight, for a compressor, and a compressor with the electric motor or the counterweight. The counterweight comprises: a first component having an annular shape; a first groove formed in a surface of the first component and having a sidewall and a bottom wall; and a second component disposed in the first groove. With the technical solution according to the present invention, for example, counterbalance requirements are met, while fluid can be prevented from being stirred to cause power loss.

Claims (47)

1. A counterweight for a compressor, the counterweight comprising:

a first component having an annular shape;

a first groove formed in a surface of the first component and having a sidewall and a bottom wall;

a second groove formed in the surface of the first component, having a sidewall and a bottom wall, and separated from the first groove in a circumferential direction of the first component; and

a second component disposed in the first groove.

2. The counterweight of claim 1 , wherein:

the first component is formed of a first material, the second component is formed of a second material, and the first material has a less density than the second material.

3. The electric motor for a compressor, the electric motor comprising:

a rotor having an end surface; and

the counterweight of claim 2 , which is connected to the end surface of the rotor.

4. The counterweight of claim 1 , wherein:

the first component is integral or unitary.

5. The electric motor for a compressor, the electric motor comprising:

a rotor having an end surface; and

the counterweight of claim 4 , which is connected to the end surface of the rotor.

6. The counterweight of claim 1 , wherein:

the first groove and the second groove constitute a plurality of grooves which are the same and which are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the first component.

7. The electric motor for a compressor, the electric motor comprising:

a rotor having an end surface; and

the counterweight of claim 6 , which is connected to the end surface of the rotor.

8. The counterweight of claim 1 , wherein:

the counterweight comprises a single first groove and a plurality of second grooves, and the plurality of second grooves are arranged in the circumferential direction of the first component.

9. The counterweight of claim 8 , wherein:

the plurality of second grooves are the same and are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the first component.

10. The electric motor for a compressor, the electric motor comprising:

a rotor having an end surface; and

the counterweight of claim 8 , which is connected to the end surface of the rotor.

11. The electric motor for a compressor, the electric motor comprising:

a rotor having an end surface; and

the counterweight of claim 9 , which is connected to the end surface of the rotor.

12. The counterweight of claim 1 , wherein:

the counterweight comprises a plurality of first grooves which are the same and are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the first component.

13. The electric motor for a compressor, the electric motor comprising:

a rotor having an end surface; and

the counterweight of claim 12 , which is connected to the end surface of the rotor.

14. The counterweight of claim 1 , wherein:

the second component has a same shape as the first groove and a surface of the second component facing away from the bottom wall of the first groove and the surface of the first component are in a same plane.

15. The electric motor for a compressor, the electric motor comprising:

a rotor having an end surface; and

the counterweight of claim 14 , which is connected to the end surface of the rotor.

16. An electric motor for a compressor, the electric motor comprising:

a rotor having an end surface; and

the counterweight of claim 1 , which is connected to the end surface of the rotor.

17. A compressor comprising:

The electric motor of claim 16 .

18. A compressor comprising:

the counterweight of claim 1 .
