Abstract:
A reciprocating compressor is provided. Bearing holes of a fluid bearing of the compressor may be positioned correspond to a full reciprocating region of a piston, to reduce/eliminate frictional loss and/or abrasion between a cylinder and the piston. The bearing holes may be concentrated at certain regions of the cylinder to stably support the piston through a full reciprocating range. Compression coil springs may maintain concentric alignment of the cylinder and the piston. Gas through holes may be radially formed at the piston to lower a pressure of a bearing space and allow refrigerant to be smoothly introduced into the bearing space through a gas pocket. A casing of the compressor may include an outer shell and an inner shell to attenuate vibration generated due to friction generated by operation of the reciprocating compressor.
Abstract:
A reciprocating compressor according to the present invention includes a stator disposed in an inner space of a shell, and having a stator core with at least one air gap, and a coil fixed to the stator core, a piston mechanically connected with a magnet, and reciprocating by magnetic energy generated in the stator and interaction with the magnet, a cylinder having the piston inserted therein and forming a compression space, a suction valve opening/closing a suction side of the compression space, a discharge valve opening/closing a discharge side of the compression space, and an electromagnetic resonance spring formed between the stator and the magnet by a restoring force generated by the magnetic energy.
Abstract:
A linear compressor, a shell for a linear compressor, and a method for manufacturing a shell of a linear compressor are provided. The shell may have at least one portion having a multilayer plate, in which at least two plates may be stacked in a direction substantially perpendicular to an axis of a piston so as to accommodate a cylinder, the piston, which may be reciprocated within the cylinder, and a motor assembly directly connected to the piston to provide a drive force to the piston. At least one resonator may be disposed in or at at least a portion of an inner surface of the shell.
