Abstract: A linear compressor and a method for controlling a compressor are provided. The compressor may include a piston that reciprocates within a cylinder, a linear motor that supplies a driving force to the piston, a discharge device through which a refrigerant compressed in the cylinder by the reciprocating motion of the piston is discharged, a pressure changing device that changes a variation rate of pressure applied to the piston before the piston reaches a virtual discharge surface (VDS) during the reciprocating motion, to prevent collision between the piston and the discharge device. The virtual discharge surface may be formed on at least a portion of the discharge device facing a compression space within the cylinder.

Abstract: The control module includes a drive circuitry that drives the linear compressor based on a control signal, a detector that detects a motor current and a motor voltage corresponding to a motor of the linear compressor, an asymmetric current generator that generates an asymmetric motor current by applying a current offset to the detected motor current, and a controller that generates the control signal based on the asymmetric motor current and the detected motor voltage. Such a control module may increase a maximum freezing capacity by appropriately (or optimally) designing (setting) an initial value of a piston in a driving area or an operation area (or a high-efficiency driving area) of a compressor by considering the efficiency aspect, and executing an asymmetric operation in a high-load driving area (or a high freezing capacity driving area).

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a compressor driving apparatus and a refrigerator including the same. A compressor driving apparatus includes: a plurality of switching elements; an inverter for converting direct current (DC) power into alternating current (AC) power according to a switching operation to output the converted AC power to the motor; an output current detector for detecting an output current flowing through the motor; and an inverter controller for controlling the inverter based on the output current, wherein the inverter controller controls the piston so that one end of the piston is fixed at a first position spaced apart from the discharge unit at stroke of the piston during a first period, controls the piston to collide with the discharge unit when a change rate in an operation rate or a position error of the compressor is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, and controls the piston so that the one end of the piston is fixed at a second position spaced apart from the discharge unit at stroke of the piston during a second period after the collision of the piston. Accordingly, control accuracy may be improved and a noise may be reduced upon piston position based operation control.
