Patent number: 7285880Abstract: A reciprocating motor includes: an outer stator (4) in a support frame (2); an inner stator (6) disposed at the inner circumferential surface of the outer stator (4) with a certain air gap and mounted at the outer circumferential surface of a cylinder (16); a magnet (10) disposed to be linearly movable between the outer stator (4) and the inner stator (6) driven by the winding coil (8) due to move the piston (18); and the locking unit (30, 32), installed at the lateral face of the inner stator (6) for preventing the inner stator (6) from moving in an axial direction. Therefore, the reciprocating motor can improve reliability of a motor by preventing an inner stator (6) from moving in an axial direction by vibration caused by linear movement of the magnet (10).Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2003Date of Patent: October 23, 2007Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventor: Seong-Yeol Hyun

Publication number: 20060061024Abstract: A coil spring in accordance with the present invention includes inner coils formed as a wire is wound plural times; and an inflection portion having a nonlinear shape and formed at an outer circumferential surface of the end coil, which is positioned toward the inner coil. When connected to other component and is constricted and relaxed to absorb an impact or a vibration transmitted from the outside, the coil spring minimizes friction generated between itself and other components so that reliability of a reciprocating compressor having the coil spring can be improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2004Publication date: March 23, 2006Inventors: Won-Hyun Jung, Seong-Yeol Hyun, Gi-Bong Kwon, Su-Won Lee

Patent number: 6571917Abstract: A linear compressor including a well-closed container filled with oil at its bottom; a compressive unit having a frame of a hollow inside the well-closed container to which a cylinder inserted, a piston inserted into the hollow of the cylinder, for linearly moving upward and downward by driving of a motor installed at the cylinder, and a discharge cover for covering one end of the cylinder; and an oil supply unit mounted at the lower side of the compressive unit, for pumping oil, wherein the oil supplied from the 01 oil supply unit to the compressive unit exists within the compressor unit in either case that the compressor is operated or stopped. Accordingly, even when the compressor is stopped, the oil remains in the compressive unit, so that when the compressor is re-started, the friction portion between the cylinder and the piston is lubricated, preventing abrasion of the friction portion. Thus, a reliability of the compressor is highly improved.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2000Date of Patent: June 3, 2003Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventor: Seong Yeol Hyun
