Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and to a method of controlling a fluid pump, as well as to a linear compressor and a cooler configured to calibrate the respective functioning at the time of the first use or in cases of problems caused by electric or mechanical failures. According to the teachings of the present invention, the fluid pump is provided with a piston-position sensing assembly, the electronic controller monitoring the piston displacement within the respective cylinder by detecting an impact signal. The impact signal is transmitted by the sensing assembly upon occurrence of an impact of the piston with the stroke end, the electronic controller successively incrementing the piston displacement stroke upon a trigger signal as far as the occurrence of the impact to store a maximum value of piston displacement.

A stroke adjustment mechanism having fewer parts that are easier to manufacture. In order to translate stroke adjustment into an eccentric offset of a rotating shaft to act as a rotating cam surface, the present invention utilizes two separate and identical plungers. The plungers are easier to manufacture as they do not require complex machining in mating parts. The present invention is also easier to assemble than prior designs. The present invention allows the drive gear to be produced with a simple round ID bore and also uses a one-piece, easy to machine round shaft. This provides for a simple and strong design.
