Abstract:
A linear compressor includes a compressor body configured to compress a refrigerant. The compressor body includes a cylinder, a discharge valve, a groove, a gas hole, and a flow restrictor. The cylinder receives a piston. The discharge valve is configured to open and close one side of the cylinder and define a compression space for the refrigerant together with the piston. The groove is defined in an outer circumferential surface of the cylinder and into which at least a portion of the refrigerant discharged through the discharge valve is introduced. The gas hole is defined in the groove to pass through the cylinder. The flow restrictor includes twisting wires made of different materials and is disposed to be wound around the groove.
Abstract:
A linear compressor is provided that may include a shell; a compressor body accommodated in the shell to compress a refrigerant; a discharge cover assembly through which the refrigerant compressed in the compressor body may be discharged; a cover pipe that extends from the discharge cover assembly to discharge the refrigerant discharged into the discharge cover assembly to an outside of the discharge cover assembly; a discharge pipe coupled to the shell to discharge the refrigerant flowing along the cover pipe to an outside of the shell; a loop pipe having a first end connected to the cover pipe and a second end connected to the discharge pipe; and a coupling member that respectively couples both the first and second ends of the loop pipe to the cover pipe and the discharge pipe. The coupling member may include a connection member, a first portion of which is inserted into the loop pipe and a second portion of which is inserted into the discharge pipe or the cover pipe. The connection member may be formed of a steel material. At least one of the discharge pipe or the cover pipe may be formed of a steel material.
Abstract:
The linear compressor is provided that may include a shell having first and second ends open, a first shell cover that covers a first end of the shell, a second shell that covers a second end of the shell, a compressor body accommodated in the shell to compress a refrigerant, a first support that supports a first end of the compressor body within the shell, and coupled to the first shell cover in a state of being spaced apart from the shell, and a second support that supports a second end of the compressor body and fixed to the shell.
Abstract:
A linear compressor and a refrigerator including a linear compressor are provided. The linear compressor may include a shell coupled to a suction inlet, through which a refrigerant may be introduced, and a discharge outlet, through which the refrigerant may be discharged, a cylinder disposed within the shell to accommodate a piston reciprocated to compress the refrigerant introduced through the suction inlet, a frame that accommodates the cylinder, the frame being mounted inside the shell, and a discharge cover coupled to a front surface of the frame to discharge the refrigerant compressed by the piston to the discharge outlet. A front surface of the cylinder that faces the discharge cover may be spaced a predetermined distance from the discharged cover.
Abstract:
A linear compressor is provided. The linear compressor may include a shell including a discharge outlet, a cylinder provided in the shell to define a compression space for a refrigerant, a frame to fix the cylinder to the shell, a piston reciprocated within the cylinder in an axial direction, a discharge valve disposed on or at one side of the cylinder to selectively discharge the refrigerant compressed in the compression space, a discharge cover coupled to the frame, the discharge cover having at least one chamber to reduce pulsation of the refrigerant discharged through the discharge valve, and a valve spring disposed on the discharge cover to provide a restoring force to the discharge valve. The discharge cover may include a cover body having a discharge hole, through which the refrigerant discharged through the discharge valve may be discharged outside of the discharge cover, and a guide passage defined in the cover body to guide at least a portion of the refrigerant discharged through the discharge valve into the at least one chamber.
