  • Patent number: 7331772
    Abstract: A compressor comprises a reciprocating motor disposed within a casing, for generating a driving force; a compressing unit for sucking, compressing and discharging gas by a linearly reciprocating motion of a piston connected to the reciprocating motor; a plurality of resonant springs connected to the piston, for inducing a resonant motion to the linearly reciprocating motion of the piston, wherein centers of the resonant springs are positioned at the same radius on the basis of a central axis of the piston.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 15, 2004
    Date of Patent: February 19, 2008
    Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.

  • Publication number: 20050142014
    Abstract: A compressor comprises: a reciprocating motor disposed within a casing, for generating a driving force; a compressing unit for sucking gas, compressing, and discharging by a driving force of the reciprocating motor; and a vibration reducing apparatus installed on a flow path through which compressed gas is discharged from the compressing unit, for reducing vibration of the flow path due to the gas discharge. According to this, vibration and noise of the compressor are reduced and a function thereof is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 6802701
    Abstract: A suction valve assembly of a compressor includes: a piston disposed movable in a cylinder forming a compression chamber, having a suction passage for sucking a fluid and a valve seat formed at a front side thereof; a valve body contacted to the valve seat to open and close the fluid, of which a front side making a portion of the compression chamber is formed hermetical; a support rod inserted into a rear portion of the valve body and fixed at one side of the piston and supporting the valve body to be moved in a certain range; and a release preventing unit formed between the valve body and the support rod to prevent the valve body from releasing from the support rod. A guide groove inside a compression chamber is removed to prevent generation of a dead volume, thereby improving an efficiency of a compressor.
