  • Patent number: 9599221
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a connecting rod/piston arrangement for alternative compressor, comprising using at least an intermediate element capable of associating said connecting rod with the piston, wherein both do not radially contact with one another. A process for assembling said connecting rod/piston arrangement for alternative compressor is also disclosed. The connecting rod/piston arrangement for alternative compressor comprises at least a piston (1), at least an intermediate element (2) and at least a connecting rod (3), wherein said piston (1) comprises at least a non-through axial channel (11); said intermediate element (2) comprises at least a through axial channel (21); and said connecting rod (3) comprises at least a connection end (31). In this regard, the intermediate element (2) is securely housed inside the non-through axial channel (11) of piston (1); and said connection end (31) of connecting rod (3) is securely housed inside the through axial channel (21) of intermediate element (2).

  • Patent number: 9562526
    Abstract: The present invention refers to the arrangement of components comprised in a linear compressor (1), which is fundamentally composed by at least one resonant oscillating mechanism comprising at least one resonant spring (2) which defines at least one neutral point (21), at least one magnet (3) and at least one piston (4); at least one intermediate element (5) which defines an axially flexible surface (51); at least one flat spring (6) which defines at least one binding structure (62); at least one shell (7); and at least one attaching means (8).

  • Patent number: 9388694
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a resonant mechanism for compressors which comprises a tubular body (1) containing at least two slot sets (12) that delimit an intermediate surface (13) which central portion has substantially ellipsoidal conformation (14) on which it is located a hole (15) through which the resonant spring will be affixed (2); a resounding spring (2) housed within the tubular body (1); at least two fastening sets (3) for fastening the resonant spring (2) to the tubular body (1), and leaf flat springs (4) alternately and successively mounted with spacers (not shown) along with the circular side faces (11) of the tubular body (1). The slot sets (12) have a specific configuration to allow rigidity and flexibility suitable for the mechanism operation in situations where the resulting axial force differs from zero.

  • Publication number: 20140241911
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compressor leaf springs, in particular, linear compressor leaf springs; the leaf springs comprising at least one spacer (3) disposed between at least a pair of flat springs (2), each flat spring (2) being comprised by at least one outer ring (21), at least one inner ring (22) and at least one connection extension (23) which connects an outer rim (21) to an inner ring (22); According to the present invention, it is defined at least one section of physical contact between at least a pair of outer rims (21) defined by at least one spacer (3), at least one section of physical contact between at least a pair of inner rims (22) defined by at least one spacer (3), and at least one free section of physical contact between at least two connection extensions (23) adjacently arranged.

  • Publication number: 20140234137
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a linear compressor based on resonant oscillating mechanism, which comprises an oscillating arrangement essentially formed by at least one linear motor (2) defined by a movable portion (22) and a fixed portion (21), at least a resonance spring (3), at least one piston (4) and at least one balancing body (5), wherein the movable portion (22) of the linear motor (2) is cooperatively associated with the piston (4), defining a piston-motor assembly. The piston-motor assembly is operatively associated to the end (31) of the resonant spring (3) and at least one balancing body (5) is functionally associated with the end (32) of the resonant spring (3). This construction allows the attenuation of the vibration that the resonant oscillating mechanism applies to the compressor housing through the cancellation of the forces generated by the motor and the forces generated by the compression of gas in the cylinder.
