In the traditional reciprocating compressor, a motor drives a crankshaft to rotate, a piston is driven by a connecting rod to reciprocate up and down in a cylinder, and the processes of sucking, compressing and discharging a working medium are completed by matching a suction valve and a discharge valve. The scroll compressor consists of a fixed static disc and a movable disc which is eccentrically convoluted and translationally moved, and the fixed static disc and the movable disc are mutually meshed to form a compressible closed volume and compress a working medium. The rolling rotor compressor is a compressor with closed volume composed of a fixed circular cylinder, a rotor, an exhaust valve, a sliding sheet always clinging to the outer surface of the rotor and end covers at two sides.

The crank and connecting rod structure of the reciprocating compressor converting the rotation motion into the reciprocation motion has a large loss. The radial load of the rotary compressor is too high, resulting in increased friction loss. The linear compressor is a compressor driven by a linear synchronous oscillation motor. The linear synchronous oscillation motor can automatically generate high-frequency reciprocating linear motion by utilizing the resonance principle of electromagnetic force and spring force and can directly push the rotor to move. The linear compressor has no crank mechanism for converting rotary motion into reciprocating motion, so that the linear compressor has the advantages of low loss, high efficiency, compact structure and small volume.

The 4 supporting springs 40 are used to reduce vibration generated when the piston 241 moves and noise generated by vibration of the lower and upper housings 32 and 33.
The operating principle of the oil-free linear compressor 100 is as follows:
the piston 241 generates a resonant motion by the combined action of the acting force of the plate spring 221, the acting force of the cylindrical spring 25 and the electromagnetic force of the linear motor 10, and the permanent magnet drives the piston 241 to make a linear reciprocating motion in the cylinder to compress a refrigerant after being acted by the electromagnetic force of the linear motor. The air inlet mode of the compressor is a forward air inlet mode, working medium enters the interior of the compressor from an air inlet 321, enters the compression cavity 26 through an air inlet channel and an air suction valve 244, enters the exhaust cavity through a disc-shaped exhaust valve 215 after being compressed by a piston 241, and finally is discharged out of the shell through an exhaust pipe 217.
Because the plate spring 221 has larger radial stiffness, no radial deflection can be ensured when the piston 241 axially moves, and the gap between the piston 241 and the cylinder 211 is sealed, so that the piston 241 does not contact with friction to move, and the oil-free lubrication of the compressor is realized; the leaf springs 221 and the cylindrical springs 25 cooperate to provide the axial stiffness required for the compressor, controlling the resonant frequency of the movement of the piston 241. The common support of the two springs greatly improves the axial stiffness and the radial stiffness of the linear compressor, so that the piston 241 can operate reliably during the resonant motion.
The working process of the gas bearing 243 when the piston 241 moves is as follows:
the linear compressor piston 241 compresses the working medium sucked into the compression chamber 26, and when the pressure in the compression chamber 26 reaches the opening pressure of the check valve 243h, a small amount of high-pressure working medium enters the air storage chamber 243b through the gas bearing air inlet hole 243g, and if the pressure in the compression chamber 26 is lower than the opening pressure of the check valve 243h, the check valve 243h is closed to prevent the working medium in the air storage chamber 243b from flowing back into the compression chamber 26. The high-pressure working medium in the air reserving chamber 243b flows into the annular air groove 243c through the throttle hole 243 d. The throttle hole 243d generates a certain throttling effect on the high-pressure working medium, the throttled working medium is uniformly diffused in the annular gas groove 243c, then the working medium is throttled secondarily through the throttle slit 243f on the lubricating ring 243e, the throttled working medium uniformly flows into a gap between the gas bearing 243 and the cylinder 211 through the throttle slit 243f to form a gas film, and the gas film supports the piston assembly 24 to perform linear reciprocating motion in the cylinder 211. The linear compressor 100 uses a gas bearing support technology to realize oil-free lubrication of the compressor, and uses the working medium itself to realize clearance sealing, thereby reducing friction between the gas bearing 243 and the cylinder 211 and reducing noise generated when the piston 241 moves.
Effects and effects of the embodiments
The linear compressor of the present embodiment has the suction valve disposed at the top of the hollow piston such that the suction passage and the suction valve are both on the piston, and the working medium is compressed by the piston and discharged from the discharge valve in the same direction as the suction direction, which minimizes both the suction heating loss and the flow resistance loss of the working medium. The exhaust valve is supported by a disc valve and a conical spring and is arranged in the cylinder cover, so that the flow area is larger, the compression loss is reduced, and meanwhile, the compressor is compact in structure, small in size and good in stability.
The linear compressor of the embodiment adopts a gas bearing support technology, and a high-pressure working medium compressed by a piston enters a gas storage cavity of the gas bearing through a check valve arranged on the gas bearing, then enters an annular gas groove through a throttling hole, and finally passes through throttling slits in three sections of self-lubricating materials on the surface of the gas bearing to form a high-pressure gas film between the gas bearing and a cylinder. The high pressure gas film has a large rigidity and prevents the gas bearing from contacting the cylinder. By using the gas bearing supporting technology, oil-free lubrication and gap sealing of the linear compressor can be realized, the friction is small, and the noise is low.
The above embodiments are preferred examples of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
