Abstract: A cylinder assembly of a hermetic compressor has a valve plate disposed on an outer side of a cylinder block to cover an open side of a cylinder, the valve plate defines a refrigerant discharge hole therethrough which is adapted to discharge a compressed refrigerant from the cylinder. A cylinder head disposed to cover the outer side of the valve plate defines a refrigerant discharge chamber in cooperation with the valve plate. A discharge valve is disposed between the valve plate and the cylinder head in a cantilever fashion with a central portion thereof covering the refrigerant discharge hole. A restricting mechanism comprising a first stopper member protruding from an inner wall of the cylinder head a distance such that a terminal edge of the first stopper member is at a predetermined distance from a free end of the discharge valve for restricting movement of the discharge valve.

Abstract: A reciprocating compressor comprising a main frame disposed inside a case to support an electrically-driven unit, a cylinder block connected with the main frame 100 and having a compression chamber, a cylinder head having a refrigerant discharge chamber and connected with the cylinder block to seal the compression chamber, a first chamber formed at one side of the cylinder block to be connected with the refrigerant discharge chamber, a second chamber connected with a refrigerant discharge pipe being formed at other side of the cylinder block, and a gasket disposed between the main frame and the cylinder block having a groove forming a connecting path connecting the first chamber and the second chamber. Discharge pulsation is reduced as the compressed refrigerant flows to the first chamber, the connecting path, and the second chamber before being discharged through the refrigerant discharge pipe.
