Patent number: 9039390Abstract: A compressor is provided in which a rotary member suspended on a stationary member is rotated to compress a refrigerant. The rotary member is suspended on a first stationary member and rotatably supported on a second stationary member spaced apart from the first stationary member, to thereby achieve structural stability, improve operation reliability, and reduce vibration. The components can be easily centered and assembled with an excellent assembly property. In addition, a mounting structure of an elastically-supported vane is improved to ensure lubrication performance and operation reliability. Moreover, a mounting structure of a roller-incorporated vane is improved to reduce vibration and prevent refrigerant leakage, which leads to high compression efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2009Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Kang-Wook Lee, Jang-Woo Lee, Bum-Dong Sa, Jin-Ung Shin

Patent number: 8814546Abstract: A compressor is provided in which a rotary member is suspended on a stationary member and rotates to compress a refrigerant. In the stationary member, top and bottom ends of a stationary shaft are fixed to improve structural stability and assembly properties. Bearing covers are provided on a contact portion of the stationary member and the rotary member, such that the rotary member may rotate when suspended on the stationary member, which stabilizes operation. In the rotary member, a vane is integrally formed with a roller and mounted on a vane mounting hole of a cylinder-type rotor. Although, the rotary member is provided on an outer circumferential surface of the stationary member, suction and discharge operations of the refrigerant are performed in an axial direction, which lowers product height. Oil stored in a hermetic container is supplied to a lubrication passage provided between the stationary member and the rotary member.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2009Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Kang-Wook Lee, Bum-Dong Sa, Se-Seok Seol, Seoung-Min Kang, Jin-Ung Shin

Patent number: 8272847Abstract: The present invention relates to a reciprocating compressor. The reciprocating compressor includes a latching unit by which a piston is reciprocated by two times a total eccentric amount obtained by adding an eccentric amount of an eccentric portion to an eccentric amount of an eccentric sleeve in a power mode, while the piston is reciprocated by two times the eccentric amount of the eccentric portion in a saving mode, accordingly the piston can have an upper dead point same in the power mode and the saving mode, thereby reducing a dead volume between the piston and a discharge valve and increasing a variable ratio of a cooling capacity of the compressor in the saving mode.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2008Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Yun-Hi Lee, Sang-Joon Eum, Seoung-Min Kang, Yoon-Sung Choi, Bum-Dong Sa

In the stationary member, top and bottom ends of a stationary shaft are fixed to improve the structural stability and assembly property. Bearing covers are provided on a contact portion of the stationary member and the rotary member such that the rotary member can be rotated when suspended on the stationary member. This stabilizes the operation. In the rotary member, a vane is integrally formed with a roller and mounted on a vane mounting hole of a cylinder-type rotor. This reduces the vibration and prevents refrigerant leakage to improve the compression effect. Although the rotary member is provided on an outer circumferential surface of the stationary member, it is possible to perform the suction and discharge of the refrigerant in the axial direction. This can lower the product height.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2009Publication date: June 7, 2012Inventors: Kang-Wook Lee, Bum-Dong Sa, Se-Seok Seol, Seoung-Min Kang, Jin-Ung Shin

Patent number: 6893242Abstract: A compressor is provided which minimizes impact noise and abrasion between a Z-plate of the compressor and vanes formed in the compressor. Ends of the vanes formed in the compressor contact sides of the Z-plate, and the motion and surface configuration of the Z-plate cause the vanes to move reciprocally and to section compression spaces within the compressor into a suction area and a compression area. Due to the curvature of the surfaces of the Z-plate, the vanes remain in constant contact with the surface of the Z-plate, which allows for smooth transition phases and a subsequent reduction in impact noise and abrasion between the vanes and the Z-plate.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2002Date of Patent: May 17, 2005Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Kwang-Sik Yang, Bum-Dong Sa

Publication number: 20040109779Abstract: A compressor includes a Z-plate which sections an inner space of a cylinder into a plurality of compression spaces to suck, compress and discharge a fluid and vanes being in contact with both sides of the Z-plate to be moved reciprocally to section each compression space into a suction area and a compression area. The Z-plate includes a curved portion formed with a particular function for the both sides being in contact with the vane, a plane portion formed around an inflection point of the curved portion including the inflection point, and a gentle portion formed round between the curved portion and the plane portion. The vanes are maintained in a state of constantly contacting the cam surface of the Z-plate, so that an impact noise caused between the vane and the Z-plate can be prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2003Publication date: June 10, 2004Inventors: Kwang-Sik Yang, Bum-Dong Sa

Publication number: 20030108438Abstract: A compressor including a cylinder assembly having a compression space through which suction passages and discharge passages are connected, a rotation driving unit inserted into the compression space of the cylinder assembly to transfer a rotation force, a slant compression slanted plate installed in the compression space to divide the compression space into at least two parts and rotating by being connected to the rotation driving unit, and vane units attached on both sides of the slant compression plate to classify the partitioned compression space into a suction space and a compression. With this construction, a vibration and a noise can be reduced and a stable driving force can be obtained even with a relatively small capacity electric motor. In addition, since fluid can be compressed and discharged simultaneously in both sides of the slant compression plate, an excellent compression performance can be accomplished in a simple structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2002Publication date: June 12, 2003Inventors: Young-Jong Kim, Hui-Cheol Kim, Bum-Dong Sa, Byung-Ha Ahn, Kwang-Sik Yang, Seung-Jun Lee, Jang-Woo Lee, Hyoung-Joo Cho, Kang-Wook Cha, Jong-Hun Ha, Song-Kie Hong
