Abstract: The present invention discloses an oil supply valve assembly of a linear compressor including a shell, the oil being stored at the lower portion of the shell, a cylinder disposed in the shell, a piston disposed in the cylinder, a main body frame to which the cylinder is fixed, and a linear motor connected to the piston, for driving the piston, comprising: a passage formed in the main body frame, for supplying the oil to a gap between the cylinder and the piston; an oil valve being coupled to the main body frame to communicate with the passage, and including an oil suction valve and an oil discharge valve; and an oil cover coupled to overlap with the oil valve and communicate with the passage of the main body frame. By this configuration, the manufacturing process of the oil supply valve assembly is simplified and mis-assembly of the components is prevented by reducing the number of the components.

Abstract: A reciprocating compressor is provided that reciprocates a piston inside a cylinder as a linear motor is driven, to compress a refrigerant by sucking the refrigerant into a compression space between the cylinder and the piston, and then discharge the same. The piston is operated at a top dead center position and in a resonance state by symmetrically applying a voltage even if a load varies. An elastic coefficient of mechanical spring is set in consideration of a degree of shift of the piston influenced by gas springs varied by the load, and an initial value of the piston to maintain stroke of the piston is set so as to correspond to a required cooling capacity condition.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a mounting structure of a linear compressor, comprising: a shell which is a hermetic space, a connection terminal for supplying power being fixed to one side of the shell; a main body frame installed in the shell, one end of a cylinder forming a compression space for compressing a refrigerant with a piston being fixed to the main body frame; and a motor cover, a linear motor comprised of an inner stator, an outer stator and a mover, for reciprocating the piston by a mutual electromagnetic force being fixed to the outer circumference of the cylinder, the outer stator being bolt-fastened between the main body frame and the motor cover. Here, the main body frame is left-right symmetric.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a linear compressor in which a piston is linearly reciprocated inside a cylinder, for sicking a refrigerant into a compression space between the piston and the cylinder, and compressing and discharging the refrigerant, and especially, a structure of discharging the refrigerant for the linear compressor which can reduce a pulsation of a high pressure discharged refrigerant, by making the refrigerant compressed in the compression space flow from a sub-discharge space with a relatively small volume to a sub-discharge space with a relatively large volume in a discharge chamber. As a result, the structure of discharging the refrigerant for the linear compressor can efficiently reduce noise and vibration.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a compressor including a hermetic container into/from which refrigerant is sucked and discharged, a compression unit provided in the hermetic container and compressing the refrigerant, a motor unit provided in the hermetic container to be connected to the compression unit and driving the compression unit, and one or more irregular reflection portions provided on an outer circumferential surface of the motor unit. The irregular reflection portion repeatedly reflects and dissipates noise and vibration in the compressor to improve the noise reduction effect. In addition, the irregular reflection portion increases the surface area of the motor unit to improve the radiation effect, which results in high efficiency of the entire compressor.

Abstract: A linear compressor is provided. The linear compressor may include a cylinder in which refrigerant flows in an axial direction, a piston that reciprocates within the cylinder so as to compress the refrigerant, and a linear motor that drives the piston. At least one of the cylinder or the piston may be sintering molded.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a linear compressor wherein a compression unit, including a cylinder and a linear motor, is supported by a frame mounted in a hermetic container. The frame is die cast using diamagnetic zinc having a high forming accuracy, thereby preventing an electromagnetic force of the linear motor from being leaked therethrough, and enabling a reduction in the number of machining times thereof after die casting.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a reciprocating compressor which can linearly reciprocate a piston inside a cylinder as a linear motor is driven, compress a refrigerant by sucking the refrigerant into a compression space between the cylinder and the piston, and then discharge the same. In the reciprocating compressor, the piston is operated at a top dead center position and in a resonance state by symmetrically applying a voltage even if load is varied, the elastic coefficient of the mechanical spring is set in consideration of the degree of shift of the piston influenced by the gas springs varied by load, and the initial value of the piston for maintaining the stroke of the piston is set so as to correspond to a required cooling capacity condition. Accordingly, electric power consumption caused by applying an asymmetrical voltage can be reduced, a tuning operation for applying an asymmetrical voltage can be omitted, thereby decreasing inconvenience.
