Patent number: 7540723Abstract: A reciprocating compressor includes a reciprocating motor that generates a reciprocation force and a compressing unit to which a discharge pipe that discharges a compressed fluid is connected. The compressing unit compresses a fluid by receiving the reciprocation force generated by the reciprocating motor. A frame, to which the reciprocating motor and the compressing unit are fixed, is connected to a suction pipe that sucks a fluid to be compressed at one side thereof, and that contains lubricating oil therein.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2004Date of Patent: June 2, 2009Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Gye Young Song, Jong Koo Lee

Patent number: 7537438Abstract: A reciprocating compressor includes: a cylinder installed inside a casing and having a space therein; a piston disposed inside the cylinder; an inner stator fixed at an outer circumference of the cylinder; a magnet fixed at an outer circumference of the inner stator; and an outer stator disposed to maintain a certain distance from an outer circumference of the magnet. Accordingly, the number of components is reduced thus to reduce a manufacturing cost, and performance can be also improved.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2005Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Gye-Young Song, Kwang-Wook Kim, Je-Nam Kang

Publication number: 20090081056Abstract: To form a shock absorbing structure more easily. A shock absorbing structure for consuming shock energy is provided on the flange of a molecular pump. An insertion hole is provided in the flange, and a shock absorbing member formed by an independent and small part is fitted and fixed in this insertion hole. A bolt hole is provided to cause a bolt for fixing the flange and a vacuum vessel in the shock absorbing member to pass therethrough. The shock absorbing member is provided with a thin-wall portion by forming a cavity portion. In the case where a shock in the rotation direction of a rotor portion is produced in the molecular pump, for example, by fracture of the rotor portion, the flange slides in the rotation direction of the rotor portion together with the molecular pump. Thus, the bolt that fixes the flange to the flange of the vacuum pump hits the shock absorbing member, thereby the shock absorbing member is subjected to plastic deformation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2007Publication date: March 26, 2009Inventors: Yasushi Maejima, Yoshinobu Ohtachi, Rumiko Wada, Yoshihiro Enomoto, Chris Bailey, Dawn Stephenson, Kate Wilson

Publication number: 20090028727Abstract: A chemistry analyzer precision pump is disclosed. In one general aspect, it has a pump block that defines a first pump chamber with a fluid port at a first end, an opening for a piston at a second end, and a seal mount located between the opening and the port. A second, smaller, pump chamber also has a fluid port at a first end, an opening for a piston at a second end, and a seal mount located between the opening and the port. A first seal is mounted at the first seal mount and a second seal is mounted at the second seal mount. A first piston is mounted to reciprocate in the first pump chamber, past the first seal, and a second, smaller piston is mounted to reciprocate in the second pump chamber, past the second seal. The first and second pistons and the first and second pump chambers can be conically shaped.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2007Publication date: January 29, 2009Inventors: Tony Mao, Ronald Jones, Stanley Liffmann
