Mechanical simulation analysis of an electric scroll compressor

Abstract As a precision automotive component, electric scroll compressors have high requirements for reliability. In order to save the cost of environmental testing and shorten the market cycle of new products, the modal parameters of a compressor are measured, and the first six modal parameters are obtained. Secondly, the simplified finite element model of the compressor is established, modal analysis is carried out, and the modal frequency error obtained by the two methods is controlled within a reasonable range to ensure the accuracy of the modeling. Finally, based on the established simulation model, the structural response and stress of the compressor under various working conditions, such as sinusoidal vibration and random vibration, are analyzed, and the extreme values of displacement and stress are obtained. The results show that the structural design of the compressor meets the requirements of the environmental test of on-board equipment. The test and simulation methods used in this paper also have certain reference significance for other mechanical equipment.
