  • Patent number: 6755630
    Abstract: An apparatus for compressing fluid comprises a cylinder bore longitudinally penetrating a cylinder block a suction port penetrating to the cylinder bore, and a pair of slot-shaped fluid discharge having one opening at an end portion of the cylinder bore; a piston; a discharge valve assembly movably disposed at the cylinder bore to selectively open and close the fluid discharge ports of the cylinder block, the discharge valve assembly including a valve piston having a flange for limiting movement of the discharge valve assembly; a cylinder head defining a discharge chamber communicating with the fluid discharge ports, the cylinder head having a fluid discharge passage from the discharge chamber. The fluid suction port is selectively opened by the piston reciprocally moving in the cylinder bore to draw in fluid, which is discharged through the fluid discharge ports opened by the movement of the valve piston as the pressure of the fluid in the cylinder bore increases beyond a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 6702557
    Abstract: A fluid compressing apparatus including a cylinder block having a cylinder bore with a diameter penetrating through the cylinder block in a lengthwise direction, a discharge chamber having a diameter larger than the diameter of the cylinder bore, and at least one fluid suction port penetrating into the cylinder block including an interconnected space comprising a fluid discharge port. A piston serves to open and close the suction port while linearly reciprocating within the cylinder bore eliminating need for a separate suction valve assembly. A valve plate separates from and opens the discharge port as a result of the high pressure of the fluid in the cylinder bore, thus compressing the fluid until completely discharged; such that the clearance volume in the cylinder bore is minimized improving compression efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20030103854
    Abstract: An apparatus for compressing fluid comprises: a cylinder block including a cylinder bore with a predetermined diameter penetrating the cylinder block in a lengthwise direction, at least one fluid suction port penetrating in a direction intersecting with the cylinder bore, and at least a pair of fluid discharge ports preferably of a slot shape and having one opening formed at both end portions of the cylinder bore; a piston for reciprocally moving within the cylinder bore; a discharge valve assembly movably disposed at the cylinder bore in order to selectively open and close the fluid discharge ports of the cylinder block, the discharge valve assembly including a valve piston having a flange for limiting movement of the discharge valve assembly; and a cylinder head for forming a discharge chamber communicating with the fluid discharge ports by a connection to the cylinder block, and the cylinder head having a fluid discharge passage of the discharge chamber.

  • Patent number: 6382932
    Abstract: A hermetic compressor having a noise absorbing member disposed in an enclosed casing for noise reduction is provided. The noise absorbing member substantially in a circular disk shape is attached to an inner surface of an upper side of the upper shell to reduce various machine noises generated during an operation mode of the compressor. The noise absorbing member includes a circular disk, a hole formed at the center portion of the circular disk, and a plurality of extending portions radially and outwardly extending from the circular disk. The noise absorbing member is attached to the upper shell and simultaneously fitted around a crankshaft stopper which supports the hole of the noise absorbing member and adheres onto the upper shell.
