CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     The present application is a continuation application of International Application No. PCT/CN2021/110096, filed on Aug. 2, 2021, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202011297079.0, filed on Nov. 18, 2020.

     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates to the field of air conditioning technologies, in particular, to a pump body assembly, a compressor and an air conditioner. 
     BACKGROUND 
     In order to meet customer&#39;s increasing requirements for a cooling and heating capacity of an air conditioner, a displacement of a rotary compressor of a rotation type is also designed to be relatively large. Due to limitation of a size of an external unit of the air conditioner, a diameter of a shell of the compressor should be as small as possible, which requires a height of the cylinder of the pump body to be designed be higher. Especially when exhaust ports need to be installed at both ends of the large-displacement cylinder, the exhaust ports are arranged on a baffle plate, and the baffle plate needs to be designed to be relatively high accordingly, resulting in a larger span of an eccentric portion of a crankshaft between two cylinders of the pump body. 
     In the related technology, two eccentric portions of the rotary compressor are in a suspended state. During the working process, due to excessive deflection between the two eccentric portions, the eccentric portions and rollers are inclined, which results in wear of the rollers and a head of a sliding vane, and greatly reduces the reliability of the compressor. In order to solve this kind of problem, in the related technology, an intermediate baffle plate bearing is usually arranged between the two eccentric portions of the crankshaft to provide support, so as to reduce the deflection between the eccentric portions of the crankshaft. However, a local stress of the baffle plate bearing is too large, which easily leads to bearing wear, reducing the service life of baffle plate bearing.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS 
     Referring to  FIGS.  1  to  9   , according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a pump body assembly includes a crankshaft  1 , a first baffle plate  6  and a second baffle plate  7 , and the crankshaft  1  includes a first eccentric portion  12 , a support shaft  13  and a second eccentric portion  15  which are arranged at intervals in an axial direction. The first baffle plate  6  and the second baffle plate  7  are arranged in sequence between the first eccentric portion  12  and the second eccentric portion  15 . A first round hole  17  is arranged on the first baffle plate  6 , and the support shaft  13  is arranged in the first round hole  17 , so that the first baffle plate  6  and the support shaft  13  form a baffle plate bearing, and the baffle plate bearing has a stress relief structure for reducing a contact stress between the support shaft  13  and the first baffle plate  6 . 
     In the pump body assembly, the baffle plate bearing between the two eccentric portions can effectively support a middle of the crankshaft  1 , greatly reducing deflection of the crankshaft  1 , and avoiding problems of wear between a head of a slide plate and rollers caused by large deflection. The baffle plate bearing has the stress relief structure for reducing the contact stress between the support shaft  13  and the first baffle plate  6 , which can reduce the contact stress between the support shaft  13  and an end edge of the first baffle plate  6  when loads of the baffle plate bearing are too large, reducing the wear of the baffle plate bearing, improving reliability of the baffle plate bearing, and prolonging service life of the baffle plate bearing  6 . 
     In some embodiments, the stress relief structure includes a first flexible groove  16  arranged on a side of the first baffle plate  6  facing toward the first eccentric portion  12 , and on an end face of the first baffle plate  6  facing toward the first eccentric portion  12 , the first flexible groove  16  is arranged on a side of the first baffle plate  6  close to the inner edge of the first round hole  17 . In this embodiment, by arranging the first flexible groove  16 , an easily deformable structure can be formed on a first side of the first baffle plate  6  close to the first eccentric portion  12 , so that when a contact stress between the first side of the first baffle plate  6  and the support shaft  13  is too large, the first baffle plate  6  can be deformed at the contact position due to the first flexible groove  16 , relatively reducing the contact stress here, reducing the wear of the baffle plate bearing, improving the reliability of the baffle plate bearing, and extending the service life of baffle plate bearing. 
     The first flexible groove  16  here means that by arranging a groove structure at the position of the first baffle plate  6  close to the inner edge of the first round hole  17 , the first baffle plate  6  is divided into inner and outer parts by using the groove structure, and the thickness of the part arranged inside the groove structure is thin; when the first baffle plate  6  receives a large contact stress at this position, the structure at this position is prone to deformation due to the thinning of the groove structure, thereby increasing the flexibility of the first baffle plate  6  at this position, and thus the contact stress of the first baffle plate  6  at this position can be reduced due to the increased flexibility. 
     In order to ensure the stress-reducing effect of the first flexible groove  16 , the first flexible groove  16  should be as close as possible to the surrounding wall of the first round hole  17 , and in order to ensure that the inner structure of the first flexible groove  16  has a certain supporting effect, the thickness of first baffle plate  6  arranged on the inner side of the first flexible groove  16  cannot be infinitely small. In some embodiments, the thickness of the first baffle plate  6  inside the first flexible groove  16  is 1.5 mm-3 mm. 
     The pump body assembly also includes a first cylinder  5 , a first eccentric portion  12  is arranged in the first cylinder  5 , the first cylinder  5  is also arranged with sliding vane groove  18 , and along the rotation direction of crankshaft  1 , the angle between a starting position of first flexible groove  16  and sliding vane groove  18  is α, and 100°≤α≤115°, which can make the angle difference between the first flexible groove  16  and the sliding vane groove  18  sufficient. According to the force analysis of intermittent suction and discharge of the compressor, this structural design can effectively avoid gas leakage at the first flexible groove  16  during the operation of the compressor, and improve the reliability of the compressor during operation. 
     In some embodiments, the angle θ between the starting position and an ending position of the first flexible groove  16  satisfies 100°≤α+β≤170°, the ending position of the first flexible groove  16  can be limited according to that the included angle between the starting position of the first flexible groove  16  and the sliding vane groove  18  is α, so that both the starting position and the ending position of the first flexible groove  16  can be in a suitable position, and the problem of gas leakage of the first flexible groove  16  can be avoided more effectively. 
     In some embodiments, when the first baffle plate  6  includes the first flexible groove  16 , the width d of the first flexible groove  16  satisfies 0.8 mm≤d≤1.5 mm, which can make the first flexible groove  16  have sufficient deformation width and effectively reduce the structural strength of the first baffle plate  6  at this position, ensuring that the first baffle plate  6  inside the first flexible groove  16  can have sufficient deformation capacity, and improving the stress reduction effect of the first flexible groove  16  on the first side of the first baffle plate  6 . 
     The first flexible groove  16  is an arc-shaped groove, and the center of the arc-shaped groove coincides with the axis of the support shaft  13 , so that the structure of the first flexible groove  16  matches the structure of the support shaft  13 , so a better matching effect is formed between the stress relief structure formed by the first flexible groove  16  and the support shaft  13 , which further reduces the wear caused by stress during the working process of the baffle plate bearing. 
     In some embodiments, the axial height H of the first baffle plate  6  and the diameter D of the first round hole  17  satisfy 0.38≤H/D≤0.6. When the first baffle plate  6  is too thick, the contact stress of edges of the baffle plate bearing will become larger, which will have an adverse effect on the reliability of the bearing. If the first baffle plate  6  is too thin, the baffle plate bearing will not have a good supporting effect on the crankshaft  1 , so the height H of the first baffle plate  6  and the diameter D of the inner round hole must satisfy the relationship: 0.38≤H/D≤0.6, so as to avoid excessive contact stress at both ends of the baffle plate bearing due to the excessive thickness of the first baffle plate  6 , while ensuring good support of baffle plate bearing. 
     The first baffle plate  6  is provided with an exhaust port  22 , and the exhaust port  22  is arranged on a side of the first baffle plate  6  close to the second baffle plate  7 , which can reduce the exhaust resistance of a large-displacement compressor and improve the working performance of the compressor. An exhaust one-way stop valve is arranged at the lower end of the exhaust port  22 , which can reduce the gas flow resistance and improve the energy efficiency of the compressor. 
     In some embodiments, the support shaft  13  is provided with an oil guide hole  13   a  in the radial direction, and the crankshaft  1  is provided with a central oil hole  21  extending in the axial direction. The oil guide hole  13   a  communicates with the central oil hole  21  to ensure that during operation of the compressor, the lubricating oil flowing through the central oil hole  21  can flow to the gap between the support shaft  13  and the first baffle plate  6  through the oil guide hole  13   a  as a bypass, which plays a good role in lubricating and cooling the bearing friction. 
     In some embodiments, the stress relief structure includes a second flexible groove  14  arranged on a side of the first baffle plate  6  facing toward the second baffle plate  7 , and on the end face of the first baffle plate  6  facing toward the second baffle plate  7 , the second flexible groove  14  is arranged on a side of the first baffle plate  6  close to the inner edge of first round hole  17 . 
     In this embodiment, by arranging the second flexible groove  14 , an easily deformable structure can be formed on the first side of the first baffle plate  6  close to the second eccentric portion  15 , so that when the contact stress between the first side of the first baffle plate  6  and the support shaft  13  is too large, the second flexible groove  14  can be used to deform the first baffle plate  6  at the contact position, relatively reducing the contact stress here, reducing the wear of the baffle plate bearing, improving the reliability of the baffle plate bearing, and extending the service life of the baffle plate bearing. 
     When both the first flexible groove  16  and the second flexible groove  14  are arranged, both sides of the first baffle plate  6  may be provided with a stress relief structure, which can more comprehensively and effectively reduce the contact stress of the baffle plate bearing, reduce the wear of the baffle plate bearing, and improve the reliability of baffle plate bearings. 
     In some embodiments, the second flexible groove  14  is an annular groove, and the second flexible groove  14  is arranged coaxially with respect to the support shaft  13 . Since the second flexible groove  14  is arranged on a side of the first baffle plate  6  facing toward the second baffle plate  7 , and cooperates with the second baffle plate  7 , but not with the end face of the roller, there is no roller sealing problem, so that the second flexible groove  14  can be formed as an annular groove, which can reduce the stress along the entire circumferential direction on the side of the first baffle plate  6  close to the second baffle plate  7 , and improve the stress reduction effect of the first baffle plate  6 . 
     Referring to  FIGS.  6  to  9   , in some embodiments, the stress relief structure includes a bearing bush  20  arranged inside the first round hole  17 , and the bearing bush  20  is sleeved outside the support shaft  13 . The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment of  FIG.  1    is that in this embodiment, there are not flexible grooves arranged on both ends of the first baffle plate  6 . And in order to improve the wear resistance of the baffle plate bearing, the bearing bush  20  made of wear-resistant materials is designed in the first round hole  17  to improve the reliability of baffle plate bearing. 
     The end of the first round hole  17  close to the first eccentric portion  12  is provided with an annular radial protrusion  23 , and the bearing bush  20  stops on the radial protrusion  23 . The inner diameter of the radial protrusion  23  is smaller than the inner diameter of the first round hole  17 , so that the radial protrusion  23  can form an anti-leakage structure, which can prevent the problem of leakage caused by the too small sealing distance between the first roller  4  in the first cylinder  5  and the first baffle plate  6 , and can also play a role in positioning the installation of the bearing bush  20 . In order to ensure the structural strength of the radial protrusion  23  used to limit and prevent leakage, the axial height of the radial protrusion is h, and h≥1 mm. 
     In some embodiments, the height of the first round hole  17  is H, the installation height of the first round hole  17  matched with the bearing bush  20  is H1, and the height of the bearing bush  20  is H2, and H2≤H1≤H, which can ensure that the bearing bush  20  pressed into the first round hole  17  does not protrude to the outside of the first round hole  17 , avoiding interference between the second baffle plate  7  and the bearing bush  20  during assembly, and ensuring the reliability of the overall installation structure. 
     In some embodiments, a side of the bearing bush  20  is provided with a disconnection structure  19 , so that the bearing bush  20  on both sides of the disconnection structure  19  is completely disconnected, so that when the bearing bush  20  is pressed into the first round hole  17 , the bearing bush  20  can be contracted under the action of the disconnection structure  19 , and the bearing bush  20  can be easily pressed into the first round hole  17 , and then the bearing bush  20  can recover under the action of the elastic force, forming a surplus cooperation with the first round hole  17 . 
     In some embodiments, the disconnection structure  19  is a disconnection cut. 
     In some embodiments, the pump body assembly further includes a first muffler  3 , a first roller  4 , a second cylinder  9 , a second flange  10 , a second muffler  11  and a second roller  8 , the first roller  4  is sleeved outside the first eccentric portion  12 , is arranged inside the first cylinder  5 , and is driven to rotate by the first eccentric portion  12 , and the second roller  8  is sleeved outside the second eccentric portion  15 , is arranged inside the second cylinder  9 , and is driven by the second eccentric portion  15 . The first muffler  3  is arranged on a side of the first flange  2  away from the first eccentric portion  12 , and the second muffler  11  is arranged on a side of the second flange  10  away from the second eccentric portion  15 . The first muffler  3  can be used for noise reduction for the exhaust gas on the first flange  2 , and the second muffler  11  can be used for noise reduction for the exhaust gas on the second flange  10 , so as to reduce the noise during the operation of the pump body assembly. 
     The inner circle of the second baffle plate  7  is passed by the crankshaft  1 , and the second baffle plate  7  is arranged at the end of the first baffle plate  6  away from the first eccentric portion  12 , which can seal the second cylinder  9 . The second baffle plate  7  can adopt a conventional intermediate baffle structure. 
     The first cylinder  5  in the above embodiment is, for example, an upper cylinder, and the first flange  2  is, for example, an upper flange. 
     In other embodiments, the first cylinder  5  can also be a lower cylinder, and the second flange  10  is, for example, a lower flange.
