Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a housing for a compressor used in an air conditioning system for automobiles and a method for manufacturing the same.

In the present specification and claims, the term "aluminum" is used to mean both pure aluminum and aluminum alloys, unless otherwise specified.

Compressors, which are driven by belt transmission of power generated by internal combustion engines of automobiles, are used as major components of air conditioning systems. In an air-conditioning system, a refrigerant vaporized in an evaporator takes heat and blows cold air, and the vaporized refrigerant is compressed by a compressor to be liquefied. Compressors are classified into types such as swash plate type, single swash plate type, scroll type, and vane type, depending on the mechanism for compressing the refrigerant. An electric compressor driven by an electric motor instead of the power of the internal combustion engine is also used mainly in electric vehicles.

As shown in FIG. 10, a conventional compressor 120 includes a compression chamber 122 that compresses refrigerant, a compressor housing 121 that surrounds the compression chamber 122, and the like. The compressor housing 121 includes, for example, a cylinder head 121A having a refrigerant suction port 107b and a refrigerant discharge port 113b, a cylinder cover 121B forming an outer peripheral wall of the compression chamber 122, and arranged on the opposite side of the cylinder cover 121B from the cylinder head 121A. It is composed of a rear cover 121C and the like that serves as a lid. Arrows "125" and "126" in the figure indicate the refrigerant suction direction and the refrigerant discharge direction, respectively.

The compressor housing 121 is a pressure-resistant container that receives compressive force of the refrigerant, and is subjected to high pressure. Furthermore, while the compressor housing 121 is at room temperature before use, the temperature of the refrigerant rises to about 120° C. during use. Therefore, the compressor housing 121 is required to have high mechanical strength and material properties that can withstand thermal cycles.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2018-3792 (Patent Document 1) discloses an aluminum compressor housing. This compressor housing is much lighter than steel and has high thermal conductivity, so it dissipates the heat generated during compression well, contributing to low fuel consumption of automobiles. On the other hand, when the entire compressor housing is made of aluminum, it is difficult to partially insulate the compressor housing, and the degree of freedom in thermal design is low.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2015-203390 (Patent Document 2) discloses a compressor housing (compressor housing) in which an aluminum member and a phenolic resin member are laminated and joined in order to further reduce fuel consumption. there is

The present invention has the following effects.

In 1 above, since the compressor housing includes the aluminum member and the resin member, the entire compressor housing is lighter than that made of aluminum.

Furthermore, the resin member is bonded to the resin coating layer side surface of the aluminum base material of the aluminum member, and the resin coating layer is laminated on the surface-treated surface of the aluminum base material. Since at least one layer is formed from the resin composition containing the in-situ polymerization type phenoxy resin, the bonding strength between the aluminum member and the resin member is high.

In the above items 2 to 5, the bonding strength between the aluminum member and the resin member can be reliably increased.

In the preceding item 6, since the thermal conductivity of resin is generally lower than that of aluminum, at least a portion of at least one of the refrigerant suction flow path forming wall and the refrigerant discharge flow path forming wall is formed of a resin member. As a result, the resin member functions as a heat insulator between the refrigerant suction passage and the refrigerant discharge passage in the compressor housing. Therefore, heat exchange between the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant suction passage and the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant discharge passage can be suppressed by the resin member. Thereby, the heat exchange efficiency of the compressor can be improved.

In item 7 above, since the aluminum material of the forged product has high tensile strength and high Young's modulus, the thickness of the compressor housing can be reduced, which contributes to weight reduction of the compressor.

In the preceding item 8, the number of manufacturing steps of the compressor housing can be reduced.

At least a portion of the coolant discharge channel forming wall 12 is formed from at least a portion of the resin member 11. More specifically, substantially the entire coolant discharge channel forming wall 12 is formed from the resin member 11. .

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the aluminum member 1 includes a large-diameter cup portion 8 having a plate-like (more specifically, substantially disc-like) bottom portion 8a. A boss portion 8b is formed integrally with the bottom portion 8a of the cup portion 8 so as to protrude outward. Further, a refrigerant suction hole 7a extending from the refrigerant suction port 7b is provided in a state of penetrating from the inside to the outside of the cup portion 8 with respect to the bottom portion 8a and the boss portion 8b. The refrigerant suction hole 7 a constitutes a part of the refrigerant suction flow path 7 .

Further, the bottom portion 8a of the cup portion 8 of the aluminum member 1 is fitted with a later-described refrigerant discharge pipe portion 15 of the resin member 11 so as to penetrate the bottom portion 8a and the boss portion 8b from the inside to the outside of the cup portion 8. An insertion hole 9 (see FIG. 5) having a circular cross section for insertion is provided close to and parallel to the refrigerant suction hole 7a.

Treatment is preferred. Only one type of these treatments may be used, or two or more types may be applied. As specific methods for these surface treatments, known methods can be used.

The surface treatment is to clean the surface of the aluminum substrate 2 and to roughen the surface of the aluminum substrate 2 by forming fine irregularities for the purpose of anchoring effect. Therefore, the surface treatment can improve the bondability (adhesiveness) between the surface of the aluminum base 2 and the resin coating layer 4, and can also contribute to the improvement of the bondability with the resin member 11.

Therefore, when manufacturing the aluminum member 1 , the surface treatment of the aluminum base 2 is performed before forming the resin coating layer 4 . As the surface treatment, at least one selected from the group consisting of blasting, polishing, etching and chemical conversion is particularly preferable.

[Cleaning and degreasing]

Since the layer having the functional group is formed between the surface-treated surface of the aluminum substrate 2 and the resin coating layer 4, the chemical bond formed by the reaction of the functional group causes the aluminum substrate 2 to and the resin coating layer 4, and can also contribute to the improvement of the bondability with the resin member 11.

Therefore, when manufacturing the aluminum member 1, before forming the resin coating layer 4, the surface-treated surface of the aluminum substrate 2 is coated with at least one selected from the group consisting of silane coupling agents, isocyanate compounds and thiol compounds. It is preferable to form the functional group adhesion layer 3 on the surface-treated surface of the aluminum substrate 2 by treating with seeds.

Since the surface-treated portion 2a is formed on the aluminum base material 2, the synergistic effect of the anchor effect due to the fine unevenness of the surface-treated portion 2a and the chemical bond formed by the reaction of the functional group of the functional group adhesion layer 3 is formed. As a result, the bondability between the surface of the aluminum base material 2 and the resin coating layer 4 and the bondability with the resin member 11 can be improved.

A method for forming the functional group-adhering layer 3 using a silane coupling agent, an isocyanate compound, or a thiol compound is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include a spray coating method and an immersion method.

The thickness of the resin coating layer 4 (thickness after drying) depends on the type of resin of the resin member 11 and the bonding area, but excellent bondability with the resin member 11 on the surface 4a on the resin coating layer 4 side is obtained. From the point of view, it is preferably 1 μm to 10 mm, more preferably 2 μm to 8 mm, still more preferably 3 μm to 5 mm.

Depending on the heating temperature during bonding (adhesion), the cylinder head 21A may be thermally deformed due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the aluminum base material 2 and the resin member 11 in the process of cooling to room temperature after bonding (adhesion). is more likely to occur. From the viewpoint of suppressing and alleviating such thermal deformation, the thickness of the adhesive layer 10 is set so that the total thickness of the resin coating layer 4 and the adhesive layer 10 is 4 μm or more. 11, it is desirable to provide a portion having a large elongation rate with a predetermined thickness. The above-mentioned total thickness can be determined by taking into account the physical properties such as the elongation rate of the resin coating layer 4 and the adhesive layer 10 when the temperature changes during bonding (temperature changes from the heating temperature during bonding to room temperature cooling). preferable. A preferred upper limit for the total thickness is 10 mm.

Here, in the case of joining the aluminum member 1 and the resin member 11, the layer that joins both the members 1 and 11 is called a joining layer, and the thickness thereof is called the thickness of the joining layer. Therefore, when the adhesive layer 10 is formed on the surface 4a of the aluminum member 1 on the side of the resin coating layer 4, both layers 4 and 10 of the resin coating layer 4 and the adhesive layer 10 are bonding layers. The combined thickness of layers 4 and 10 is the thickness of the bonding layer. Further, when the adhesive layer 10 is not formed on the surface 4a of the aluminum member 1 on the side of the resin coating layer 4, the resin coating layer 4 is the bonding layer, and the thickness of the resin coating layer 4 is the thickness of the bonding layer. is.
