  • Patent number: 8272847
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a reciprocating compressor. The reciprocating compressor includes a latching unit by which a piston is reciprocated by two times a total eccentric amount obtained by adding an eccentric amount of an eccentric portion to an eccentric amount of an eccentric sleeve in a power mode, while the piston is reciprocated by two times the eccentric amount of the eccentric portion in a saving mode, accordingly the piston can have an upper dead point same in the power mode and the saving mode, thereby reducing a dead volume between the piston and a discharge valve and increasing a variable ratio of a cooling capacity of the compressor in the saving mode.

  • Patent number: 8072111
    Abstract: A motor, namely, a motor with minimum loss and improved efficiency is disclosed. More specifically, a motor having enhanced starting torque performance and increased normal operation efficiency is disclosed. In the motor in which a rotor is started using induction torque generated as power is supplied to a coil of a stator, the rotor includes a rotor core, a plurality of conductive bars arranged, along a circumferential direction, in an outer rim region of the rotor core, to generate an induction current, magnets provided in the rotor core, to generate a magnetic flux, for generation of a magnetic torque, and end-rings provided at the top and bottom of the rotor core to have no interference with the magnets, the end-rings being connected with the plurality of conductive bars.
