Abstract: A reciprocating motor and a reciprocating compressor having the same are provided. One side of each of outer and inner cores forming a stator are connected to each other, to prevent a magnetic flux generated by the coil and a magnet from leaking out of the stator. Hence, it is possible to fabricate components of the reciprocating compressor employing such a reciprocating motor by using a relatively low-cost magnetic substance, resulting in a decrease in fabricating costs of the compressor. Also, a length of the magnet may be reduced, which results in a reduction of the cost for the magnet, thereby decreasing fabricating costs of the reciprocating motor and the reciprocating compressor employing the reciprocating motor.

The suction channels are formed so as to be inclined to reduce flow resistance of inhaled refrigerant such that the amount of the inhaled refrigerant is increased. Therefore, it is possible to improve the efficiency of a compressor.

Abstract: Disclosed are a reciprocating compressor and a refrigerator having the same. The reciprocating compressor comprises a casing, one reciprocating motor mounted at a frame unit provided in the casing for generating a linear-reciprocation driving force, a first compression unit for compressing a refrigerant directly sucked without passing through the inside of the casing by receiving the driving force of the reciprocating motor, and a second compression unit for mixing a refrigerant introduced into the casing and a refrigerant discharged from the first compression unit and then compressing the mixed refrigerant once more by receiving the driving force of the reciprocating motor. Accordingly, a refrigerant is consecutively compressed two times, components are simplified, and the compressor is easily controlled. Also, the refrigerator having the reciprocating compressor decreases a load of the reciprocating compressor thereby to enhance the efficiency of the refrigerator.

Abstract: A linear motor and a linear compressor using the linear motor are provided. Since an inner core is linearly and reciprocally moved together with a target movement body and a magnet insertion recess is formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof, the forward/backward vibration movement of a magnet can be effectively controlled. In addition, since a gap is minimized, self-resistance that interferes with a force exerted by the magnet can be minimized, and accordingly, the size of the magnet necessary for outputting the same force can be minimized.

Abstract: A double side action type reciprocating compressor is provided. The double side action type reciprocating compressor includes suction valve assemblies and discharge valve assemblies loaded in a suction passage and a discharge passage to thus control suction of fluid and respectively combined with each other so that movement direction of fluid flowing inside the suction valve assemblies and the discharge valve assemblies is vertical to the movement direction of the reciprocating motor. Accordingly, it is possible to remove the suction passage and the suction valve directly formed or loaded in the piston. Therefore, it is possible to easily process the pistons. Because the diameter and the length of the pistons can be reduced, it is possible to miniaturize the compressor.
