Description

Description SPRING FIXING STRUCTURE OF RECIPROCATING
COMPRESSOR
Technical Field
[1] The present invention relates to a reciprocating compressor, and more particularly, to a spring fixing stricture of a reciprocating compressor capable of easily and precisely fixing a resonant spring for causing a resonant movement of a piston and capable of facilitating an assembly work by a precise assembly tolerance.
Background Art
[2] Generally, a compressor converts an electric energy into a kinetic energy, and compresses a refrigerant by the kinetic energy. The compressor is a core factor constituting a refrigerating cycle system, and is divided into a rotary compressor, a scroll compressor, a reciprocating compressor, and etc. according to a compression mechanism for compressing a refrigerant.
[3] Figure 1 is a sectional view showing one embodiment of a reciprocating compressor.
[4] As shown, the reciprocating compressor comprises: a casing 100 provided with a gas siction pipe 110 and a discharge pipe 120; a frame unit 200 disposed inside the casing 100; a driving motor 300 mounted at the frame unit 200 for generating a linear reciprocation force; a compression unit 400 for compressing gas by receiving the driving force of the driving motor 300; and a resonant spring unit 500 for resonating the driving force of the driving motor 300.
[5] The frame unit 200 includes: a front frame 210 accommodating the compression unit 400 therein; a middle frame 220 coupled to the front frame 210; and a rear frame 230 for fixing the driving motor 300 with the middle frame 220.
[6] The driving motor 300 includes: an outer stator 310 fixed between the middle frame
220 and the rear frame 230; an inner stator 320 inserted into the outer stator 310 and fixedly coupled to the rear frame 230; a mover 330 movably inserted between the outer stator 310 and the inner stator 320; and a winding coil 340 coupled to inside of the outer stator 310. The mover 330 is composed of a magnet 331, and a magnet holder 332 for supporting the magnet 331.
[7] The compression unit 400 includes: a cylinder 410 fixedly coupled to the front frame 210; a piston 420 of which one side is movably inserted into an inner space of the cylinder 410 and another side is fixedly coupled to the mover 330; a discharge valve assembly 430 mounted at one side of the cylinder 410 for controlling a discharge of a refrigerant; and a suction valve 440 mounted at the end of the piston 420 for controlling a flow of a refrigerant introduced into the inner space of the cylinder 410. The discharge valve assembly 430 includes: a discharge cover 431 for covering the inner space of the cylinder 410; a discharge valve 432 inserted into the discharge cover 431 for opening and closing the inner space of the cylinder 410; and a discharge spring 433 inserted into the discharge cover 431 for elastically supporting the discharge valve 432.
[8] The resonant spring unit 500 includes: a spring supporter 510 fixedly coupled to the mover 330; a front coil spring 520 disposed between one side surface of the spring supporter 510 and an inner side surface of the front frame 210; and a rear coil spring 530 disposed between another side surface of the spring supporter 510 and one side surface of the middle frame 220. The front coil spring 520 and the rear coil spring 530 constitute the resonant spring.
[9] Operation of the reciprocating compressor will be explained as follows.
[10] When a power is supplied to the reciprocating compressor, a linear reciprocation force is generated by an electromagnetic interaction of the driving motor 300. The linear reciprocation force is transmitted to the piston 420 through the mover 330.
[11] The piston 420 is linearly-reciprocated in the inner space of the cylinder 410, by the linear reciprocation of the piston 420 and a pressure difference, the suction valve 440 and the discharge valve 432 are operated thus to sick a refrigerant into the inner space of the cylinder 410, compress, and discharge. The discharged refrigerant inside the compression space is exhausted outside the compressor through the discharge cover 431 and the discharge pipe 120.
[12] The front coil spring 520 and the rear coil spring 530 respectively disposed at both sides of the piston 420 are contracted and relaxed according to the reciprocation of the piston 420, thereby elastically supporting the piston 420. The front coil spring 520 and the rear coil spring 530 cause the resonant movement of the mover 330 and the piston 420.
[13] Said reciprocating compressor is fabricated through a series of assembly processes in a production line. At the time of the assembly processes, an assembly stricture and an assembly work of components have to be simplified and facilitated in order to reduce the number of the assembly processes and to obtain more precise assembly dimension.
[14] Figure 2 is a sectional view showing a fixing stricture of the resonant spring con- stituting the reciprocating compressor.
[15] As shown, a fixing groove 521 having a certain depth and the same inner diameter as an outer diameter of the front coil spring 520 is formed at an inner side surface of the front frame 210. The fixing groove 521 has a right-angled edge and a right-angled corner. A fixing protrusion 511 having a certain height and the same outer diameter as an inner diameter of the front coil spring 520 is formed at one surface of the spring supporter 510 facing the fixing groove 521 of the front frame 210, and the fixing protrusion 511 has a right-angled edge and a right-angled corner. One end portion of the front coil spring 520 is inserted into the fixing groove 211 of the front frame, and another end portion thereof is fitted into the fixing protrusion 511 of the spring supporter. An outer surface of said one end portion of the front coil spring 520 is in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the fixing groove 211, and an inner surface of said end portion of the front coil spring 520 is in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the fixing protrusion 511.
[16] A fixing groove 221 having a certain depth and the same inner diameter as an outer diameter of the rear coil spring 530 is formed at one surface of the middle frame 220, and the fixing groove 221 has a right-angled edge and a right-angled corner. A fixing protrusion 512 having a certain height and the same outer diameter as an inner diameter of the rear coil spring 530 is formed at one surface of the spring supporter 510 facing the fixing groove 221 of the middle frame 220, and the fixing protrusion 512 has a right-angled edge and a right-angled corner. One end portion of the rear coil spring 530 is inserted into the fixing groove 221 of the middle frame, and another end portion thereof is fitted into the fixing protrusion 512 of the spring supporter. An outer surface of said one end portion of the rear coil spring 530 is in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the fixing groove 221, and an inner surface of said end portion of the rear coil spring 530 is in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the fixing protrusion 512.
[17] A plurality of fixing grooves 211 and 221 are respectively formed at the front frame
210 and the middle frame 220, and the fixing protrusions 511 and 512 corresponding to the fixing grooves 211 and 221 are formed at the spring supporter 510. A plurality of the front coil springs 520 and the rear coil springs 530 are respectively coupled to the fixing grooves 211 and 221 and the fixing protrusions 511 and 512. The front coil spring 520 and the rear coil spring 530 have the same size and shape.
[18] Since assembly tolerances of the piston 420 and the mover 330 are determined according to assembly tolerances of the front coil spring 520 and the rear coil spring 530, assembly dimensions between the front and rear coil springs 520 and 530 and the fixing grooves 211 and 221, and between the front and rear coil springs 520 and 530 and the fixing protrusions 511 and 512 have to be precisely maintained.
[19] In case that the inner diameters of the fixing grooves 211 and 221 are larger than the outer diameters of the front and rear coil springs 520 and 530 or the outer diameters of the fixing protrusions 511 and 512 are smaller than the inner diameters of the front and rear coil springs 520 and 530, movement widths of the piston 420 and the mover 330 connected to the spring supporter 510 in the circumference direction are great at the time of the compressor operation. According to this, a frictional contact is generated between the piston 420 and the cylinder 410 and between the mover 330 and the outer stator 310/ the inner stator 320 requiring a minute assembly tolerance, thereby lowering a compression function and causing a component damage.
[20] E wever, in the resonant spring unit fixing stricture, it is complicated to fix the front and rear coil springs precisely and it is difficult to assemble the components.
[21] The reason is because the assembly tolerances between the front/rear coil springs and the counterpart components become minute, the outer diameters of the front/rear coil springs 520/530 are same as the outer diameters of entrance sides of the fixing grooves 211/221 to which the front/rear coil springs 520/530 are coupled, and the inner diameters of the front/rear coil springs 520/530 are same as the outer diameters of entrance sides of the fixing protrusions 511/512. According to this, an assembly productivity of the compressor is greatly lowered.

Mode for Invention
[30] Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
[31] Figure 3 is a front view showing a reciprocating compressor provided with one embodiment of a spring fixing stricture of a reciprocating compressor according to the present invention. The same numerals were given to the same parts as those of the conventional art.
[32] As shown, the reciprocating compressor comprises: a casing 100 provided with a gas siction pipe 110 and a discharge pipe 120; a frame unit 200 disposed inside the casing 100; a driving motor 300 mounted at the frame unit 200 for generating a linear reciprocation force; a compression unit 400 for compressing gas by receiving the driving force of the driving motor 300; and a resonant spring unit 500 for resonating the driving force of the driving motor 300. The constriction of the reciprocating compressor according to the present invention is same as that of the reciprocating compressor according to the conventional art, thereby omitting explanations for the same constriction. A resonant spring fixing stricture constituting the resonant spring unit 500 will be explained as follows.
[33] The resonant spring unit 500 is composed of a spring supporter 510 fixedly coupled to the mover 330 thus to move with the mover 330, and a resonant spring for elastically supporting the spring supporter 510. The spring supporter 510 is formed as a predetermined shape, and one side thereof is fixedly coupled to the mover 330 and another side thereof is disposed between a front frame 210 and a middle frame 220 constituting the frame unit 200. The resonant spring is constituted with coil springs CS.
[34] The plurality of coil springs CS are positioned between an inner side surface of the front frame 210 and one surface of the spring supporter 510, and between another surface of the spring supporter 510 and one surface of the middle frame 510.
[35] As shown in Figure 4, a spring fixing portion SF having an inclination surface at an entrance side thereof is provided at the frame unit 210, or the middle frame 220, or the spring supporter 510 to which both end portions of the coil spring CS are fixed, and an end portion of the coil spring CS is coupled to the spring fixing portion SF. Figure 4 shows a case that the coil spring CS is fixed to the middle frame 220.
[36] The spring fixing portion SF includes: a cylindrical groove 223 having a certain depth and an inner diameter corresponding to an outer diameter of the coil spring CS; and a guiding inclination surface 224 inclined with a certain inclination angle at the edge of the cylindrical groove 223 so that an inner diameter of an entrance side thereof become greater than the inner diameter of the cylindrical groove 223.
[37] The inner diameter of the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical groove is constant. The guiding inclination surface 224 starts from an arbitrary position of the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical groove 223. The guiding inclination surface 224 has a conical shape.
[38] The coil spring CS is insertion-fixed to the cylindrical groove 223 through the guiding inclination surface 224. Since the coil spring CS is inserted into the cylindrical groove 223 by being guided by the guiding inclination surface 224 of which inner diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the cylindrical groove 223, the assembly work of the coil spring CS is simplified and facilitated.
[39] Figure 5 shows another embodiment of the resonant spring fixing stricture.
[40] As shown, a spring fixing portion SF having an inclination surface at an entrance side thereof is provided at the frame unit 210, or the middle frame 220, or the spring supporter 510 to which both end portions of the coil spring CS are fixed, and an end portion of the coil spring CS is coupled to the spring fixing portion SF. Figure 5 shows a case that the coil spring CS is fixed to the middle frame 220.
[41] The spring fixing portion SF is formed as a conical groove 226 of which inner circumferential surface is an inclination surface 225. An inner diameter of a bottom surface of the conical groove 226 corresponds to an outer diameter of the coil spring CS, and an inner diameter of an entrance side of the conical groove 226 is formed to be larger than the inner diameter of the bottom surface thereof. A depth of the conical groove 226 is preferably greater than a wire diameter of the coil spring CS.
[42] The coil spring CS is insertion-fixed to the conical groove 226. Since the entrance of the conical groove 226 is greater than the outer diameter of the coil spring CS and is formed as the inclination surface 225, the assembly work of the coil spring CS is simplified and facilitated.
[43] Figure 6 shows still another embodiment of the resonant spring fixing stricture.
[44] As shown, a spring fixing portion SF having an inclination surface at an entrance side thereof is provided at the frame unit 210, or the middle frame 220, or the spring supporter 510 to which both end portions of the coil spring CS are fixed, and an end portion of the coil spring CS is coupled to the spring fixing portion SF. Figure 6 shows a case that the coil spring CS is fixed to the spring supporter 510.
[45] The spring fixing portion SF is composed of a spring fixing protrusion 515 protruded with a certain height and an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the coil spring CS and having a guiding inclination surface 514 inclined with a certain inclination angle at the protruded edge.
[46] The end portion of the coil spring CS is insertion-fixed to the spring fixing protrusion 515. The spring fixing protrusion 515 is disposed inside the coil spring CS, and an axial direction of the coil spring CS and an axial direction of the spring fixing protrusion are positioned on the same line or are parallel each other.
[47] The coil spring CS is guided by the guiding inclination surface 514 of which inner diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the coil spring CS thus to be coupled to the spring fixing protrusion 515 provided with the guiding inclination surface 514, thereby having a simplified and facilitated assembly work of the coil spring CS.
[48] Figure 7 shows yet another embodiment of the resonant spring fixing structure.
[49] As shown, a spring fixing portion SF having an inclination surface at an entrance side thereof is provided at the frame unit 210, or the middle frame 220, or the spring supporter 510 to which both end portions of the coil spring CS are fixed, and an end portion of the coil spring CS is coupled to the spring fixing portion SF. Figure 7 shows a case that the coil spring CS is fixed to the spring supporter 510.
[50] The spring fixing portion SF is composed of a spring fixing protrusion 517 protruded with a certain height and an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the coil spring CS and having a guiding inclination surface 516 of a hemispherical shape at the protruded edge.
[51] The end portion of the coil spring CS is insertion-fixed to the spring fixing protrusion 517. The spring fixing protrusion 517 is disposed inside the coil spring CS.
[52] Since the coil spring CS is guided by the guiding inclination surface 516 of a hemispherical shape of which inner diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the coil spring CS thus to be coupled to the spring fixing protrusion 517 provided with the guiding inclination surface 516, the assembly work of the coil spring CS is simplified and facilitated.
[53] A plurality of the aforementioned resonant spring fixing strictures are respectively provided at both side surfaces of the spring supporter 510, and the front frame 210 and the middle frame 220 facing said both side surfaces of the spring supporter 510.
[54] Only the spring fixing portion SF of a protrusion shape, or only the spring fixing portion SF of a groove shape, or both said spring fixing portion SF of a protrusion shape and said spring fixing portion SF of a groove shape can be formed at the spring supporter 510, the front frame 210, and the middle frame 220, respectively.
[55] The spring fixing portion SF of a protrusion shape is preferably applied to components having a relatively thin thickness, and the spring fixing portion SF of a groove shape is preferably applied to components having a relatively thick thickness.
[56] Figure 8 shows still yet another embodiment of the spring fixing stricture of a reciprocating compressor according to the present invention.
[57] As shown, a spring fixing protrusion 515 having a guiding inclination surface 514 at an entrance side thereof is formed at the spring supporter 510, a spring fixing groove 223 having a guiding inclination surface 224 at an entrance side thereof is formed at the frame unit 200 facing the spring fixing protrusion of the spring supporter 510, and both end portions of the coil spring CS constituting the resonant spring are fixedly coupled to the spring fixing protrusion 515 and the spring fixing groove 223. Figure 8 shows a case that the coil spring CS is coupled between the spring supporter 510 and the middle frame 220.
[58] The spring fixing protrusion 515, as aforementioned, is extendingly-protruded at one surface of the spring supporter 510, and the outer diameter thereof is the same as the inner diameter of the coil spring CS. The guiding inclination surface 514 is formed at an edge of the protruded part.
[59] The spring fixing groove 223 is formed at one surface of the front frame 210 or the middle frame 220 facing the spring supporter 510, and the inner diameter of the spring fixing groove 223 is the same as the outer diameter of the coil spring CS constituting the resonant spring. The guiding inclination surface 224 is formed to have a certain inclination angle at the edge of the entrance side of the groove.
[60] One side of the coil spring CS constituting the resonant spring is fixed to the spring fixing protrusion 515 by being introduced along the guiding inclination surface 514 of the spring fixing protrusion, and another side of the coil spring CS is fixed to the spring fixing groove 223 by being introduced along the guiding inclination surface 224 of the spring fixing groove 223. At this time, since both sides of the coil spring CS are guided by the guiding inclination surface 514 of which inner diameter is smaller than that of the coil spring CS and by the guiding inclination surface 224 of which outer diameter is larger than that of the coil spring CS thus to be coupled to the spring fixing protrusion 515 and the spring fixing groove 223, the assembly work of the resonant spring is simplified and facilitated.
[61] A reciprocating compressor can be divided into various types of which one is the aforementioned reciprocating compressor. In a reciprocating compressor that a driving motor 300 is positioned at the same direction as a piston 420 and the piston 420 is disposed inside the driving motor 300, a resonant spring is respectively disposed at both sides of the piston 420. In this case, a position that the resonant spring is fixedly- coupled is varied. The present invention can be applied to this case, too.
[62] As aforementioned, in the spring fixing structure of the reciprocating compressor according to the present invention, when the resonant spring is fixedly-coupled to the spring supporter, or the front frame, or the middle frame, the resonant spring is guided by the guiding inclination surface of which inner diameter is smaller than that of the resonant spring or of which outer diameter is larger than that of the resonant spring thus to be fixedly-coupled. Therefore, the fixing and coupling work of the resonant spring is simple and easy, thereby easily assembling two components.
[63] According to this, the resonant springs are respectively coupled to the spring supporter, and the assembly that the resonant springs and the spring supporter are integrally assembled is used as one component at the time of an assembly work, thereby decreasing assembly processes.
[64] Since it is simple to set the assembly position precisely and to assemble two components, a dimension of a part to which the resonant spring is finally fixed can be more minute and an assembly dimension with the resonant spring can be maintained more minutely. According to this, assembly dimensions of the piston ad the mover supported by the resonant spring and the spring supporter can be more minutely maintained.
[65] Since the assembly dimension of the piston can be more minutely maintained, an abrasion between the piston and the cylinder is decreased and a compression leakage is prevented thus to enhance a compression function.
[66] Also, since the assembly dimension of the mover is more minutely maintained, an abrasion between the mover and the inner/outer stators is prevented and an interval between the outer stator and the inner stator to which the mover is inserted is decreased thus to enhance a function of the driving motor.
[67] As the present invention may be embodied in several forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof, it should also be understood that the above-described embodiments are not limited by any of the details of the foregoing description, unless otherwise specified, but rather should be construed broadly within its spirit and scope as defined in the appended claims, and therefore all changes and modifications that fall within the metes and bounds of the claims, or equivalence of sich metes and bounds are therefore intended to be embraced by the appended claims.
