Abstract: A suction muffler for a compressor employed in a home appliance having a refrigeration cycle reduces noise produced by the compressor. The suction muffler includes a muffler body and a refrigerant suction pipe. The muffler body defines a resonance chamber and is coupled to a refrigerant supply pipe. The refrigerant suction pipe connects the resonance chamber to a compressor cylinder. The refrigerant suction pipe has at least one hole formed in its cylindrical wall. The muffler further includes a guiding portion in the resonance chamber to direct refrigerant from the supply pipe to the at least one hole in the refrigerant suction pipe and to direct noise exiting an upper end of the refrigerant suction pipe away from the refrigerant supply pipe. The suction muffler shortens the refrigerant flow path and lengthens the noise transmission path, thereby reducing the level of noise emitted while increasing efficiency of the compressor.

Abstract: A reciprocating compressor includes a piston reciprocating within a cylinder to compress a fluid. The compressed fluid is discharged through a discharge pipe which is susceptible to being vibrated, e.g., by the operation of a motor of the compressor. To attenuate such vibrations, an anti-vibration coil spring is mounted to the discharge pipe, with the discharge pipe passing through helical turns of the spring. The helical turns define respective outer diameters which are non-uniform along the length of the spring.

Abstract: An oil pickup apparatus for a hermetic compressor connected with a crank shaft in order to pickup an oil filled up in a lower part of a shell, comprising an oil pickup tube having one end immersed in the oil and being connected with the crank shaft to be rotated together, and the oil pickup tube having an impeller portion integrally formed at the oil pickup tube in order to pickup the oil by a centrifugal force when the crank shaft rotates and supply the oil to an upper part of the compressor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a high-pressure discharging pipe of a reciprocating motion compressor as a discharging way of compressed coolant from the compressor, which particularly improves a structure of the exhausting spring for the high-pressure discharging pipe for reducing vibration of the high-pressure discharging pipe, an vibrating noise of the compressor simultaneously and improving a confidence by progressing the exhaust in the high-pressure pipe with avoiding peculiar frequency generated from a predetermined revolution times of the compressor.
