  • Publication number: 20240083700
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a paper feed system. The paper feed system includes: a paper feed apparatus configured to accommodate stacked paper and sense a paper shortage state and a paper replenishment completion state; a communication unit provided to be integrated with or correspond to the paper feed apparatus, and configured to transmit a paper replenishment request signal when the paper feed apparatus senses a paper shortage state and transmit a paper replenishment completion signal when the paper feed apparatus senses a paper replenishment completion state; and a first server configured to communicate with the communication unit. When a change in the weight of stacked paper is detected, a paper support plate is elevated by driving a motor. When a situation in which the paper support plate reaches a set remaining amount height, a paper shortage state signal is transmitted to feed paper.

  • Patent number: 11247534
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of controlling a compressor, and may include: pilot driving which drives a compressor of an air conditioner by receiving a start signal; determining whether oil is short which compares the oil amount of the compressor, driven in the pilot driving, with a predetermined reference oil amount; normal driving which maintains the driving of the compressor when it is determined that the oil amount is the reference oil amount or more; and stopping which stops the driving of the compressor when it is determined that the oil amount is smaller than the reference oil amount. Accordingly, by stopping the compressor when the oil is short, it is possible to prevent damage to the compressor.

  • Patent number: 11073152
    Abstract: Disclosed herein may be a compressor. The compressor may include: a casing; a compression unit configured to suck refrigerant from a suction space of the casing, compress the sucked refrigerant, and discharge the compressed refrigerant to a discharge space of the casing; an oil recovery passage configured to recover oil separated from refrigerant in the discharge space to the suction space; and a reducer inserted into the oil recovery passage to reduce a pressure of oil passing through the oil recovery passage. The reducer may include a deformation preventing unit configured to prevent the reducer from being damaged when the reducer is inserted into the oil recovery passage. Therefore, the reducer may be prevented from being damaged when the reducer is inserted into the oil recovery passage.
