  • Patent number: 9261088
    Abstract: A linear compressor can prevent leakage of a magnetic force by changing the construction of a linear motor. As the construction of the linear motor is changed, a mechanical spring constant is set smaller in consideration of a magnetic spring constant, so that the size of springs supporting a piston in the reciprocal linear motion direction can be reduced and components supporting the springs can be removed. Therefore, the linear compressor achieves a small size/a light weight. With the characteristics of the linear motor construction, the linear compressor can suppress a stroke spreading influence and easily expand a compression capacity according to a load.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: February 16, 2016

  • Patent number: 7146903
    Abstract: Dual capacity compressor including a power generating part (20) having a reversible motor (21, 22) and a crank shaft (23) inserted in the motor (21, 23), a compression part (30) having a cylinder (32), a piston (31), and a connecting rod (33), a crank pin (110) in an upper part of the crank shaft (23) eccentric to an axis of the crank shaft, an eccentric sleeve (120) rotatably fitted to the crank pin (110), and the connecting rod (33) respectively, a key member (130) for positive fastening of the eccentric sleeve (120) to the crank pin (110) in all rotation directions of the motor, and an eccentric mass (200) provided to the eccentric sleeve (120) for rotating the eccentric sleeve (120) around the crank pin (110), thereby preventing relative motion between components that sustain the eccentricity, and permitting a smooth motion between the components.

  • Patent number: 6918335
    Abstract: Dual capacity compressor including a power generating part including a reversible motor and a crank shaft inserted in the motor, a compression part including a cylinder, a piston in the cylinder, and a connecting rod connected to the piston, a crank pin in an upper part of the crank shaft eccentric to an axis of the crank shaft, an eccentric sleeve having an inside circumferential surface rotatably fitted to an outside circumferential surface of the crank pin, and an outside circumferential surface rotatably fitted to an end of the connecting rod, a key member for coupling the eccentric sleeve with the crank pin positively in all rotation directions of the motor, and damping means for damping impact occurred between the eccentric sleeve and members adjoin thereto, thereby preventing relative motion and wear/noise between parts that maintain an eccentricity.
