Definitions
- the present invention relates to a linear compressor, in particular for use as a refrigerant compressor in a refrigeration appliance, in particular domestic refrigeration appliance.
- a linear compressor is e.g. known from DE 10 2004 010 403 A1.
- the drive of such a linear compressor conventionally comprises at least one energizing coil for generating an alternating magnetic field energizable and in the alternating field of this exciter winding between a two reversal points movable magnetic armature.
- Such linear drives are particularly interesting as drives for compressors, since they can directly drive the reversing motion of the piston of such a compressor in a simple structure, while when using a rotary drive a mechanism, e.g. a crankshaft and a piston rod hinged thereto, needed to implement the rotational movement of the drive in the desired reversing movement of the piston. This mechanism causes manufacturing costs and leads to friction losses.
- crankshaft and piston rod design accurately dictates the amplitude of movement of a compressor piston
- the amplitude of travel of the piston of a linear compressor is generally not fixed but dependent upon the electrical power applied to the exciter coil and the pressures at the inlet and outlet of the compressor variable.
- a small amplitude of the piston causes the dead volume at the top dead center of the piston movement large and the generated pressure is low.
- the dead volume must be kept as small as possible, i.
- the piston must come as close as possible to an end wall of the compression chamber at its top dead center. At the same time, however, it must not hit the front wall, as this would lead to rapid wear or destruction of the compressor.
- the measurement accuracy of the inductive proximity sensors is usually inversely proportional to the distance between the sensor and the object to be detected. This leads to the dilemma that, although it is desirable to detect the approach of the piston to the end wall already at a large distance in order to prevent a collision by a small correction of the excitation current, but due to the
- the proximity sensor of a recess of the end wall is adjacent in a linear compressor with an oscillatingly movable in a compression chamber piston and a arranged on an end wall of the compressor chamber proximity sensor for detecting an approach of the piston to the end wall and the piston carries a projection, engages in the recess at the top dead center of the piston movement.
- the interlocking contours of recess and projection have the consequence that the axial longitudinal distance between the end face of the protruding toward the front wall of the compression chamber piston and the position plane of the inside of the end wall of the compressor chamber does not correspond to the residual movement freedom of the piston, ie the Way the piston can still travel in the direction of the front wall before colliding with it.
- the residual freedom of movement of the piston is extended to about the supernatant of the projection relative to the surrounding end face of the piston.
- the axial distance between the sensor and the projection of the piston is practically measured or detected as zero as soon as the projection engages in the recess, without at the same time the residual freedom of movement of the piston disappears.
- the piston is allowed only a defined forward stroke, which is smaller than the axial length of the projection to an undesirable collision between the outside about the projection, preferably concentric, arranged piston end face and the outside, preferably concentrically arranged, inner chamber end face of the end wall of the compression chamber to avoid.
- This pre-detection or advance detection of the actual position of the front piston face before it would contact the end wall of the compression chamber allows a targeted and defined control of the further piston stroke towards the front end wall of the compression chamber. This improves the ratio of measurement accuracy to residual motion freedom, and precise control of piston movement is possible with little control intervention.
- the end wall of the compression chamber is formed by the valve plate.
- the proximity sensor is preferably a low-cost available inductive sensor.
- the proximity sensor is preferably arranged on the side of the end wall facing the compressor chamber.
- the end wall may be metallic. In addition to a high durability, this has the advantage of shielding the sensor against external magnetic fields, which could impair its measuring accuracy.
- a coil of the sensor is preferably disposed around the recess.
- the recess is located on the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical compression chamber, it can be ensured that, regardless of a possible rotation of the piston about its longitudinal axis of the projection always meets in the recess. There is therefore no need to limit the rotational freedom of the piston, which in turn simplifies the construction of the compressor.
- the recess may simultaneously constitute a passage for fluid circulated by the compressor.
- the passage is an outlet port of the compression chamber, since it does not require a valve body on the side of the compression chamber whose movement could falsify the detection results of the sensor.
- the latter is preferably made of a dielectric material which is practically “invisible” to the magnetic sensor.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic longitudinal section of an advantageous embodiment of a linear compressor according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the end wall of the compression chamber of such a linear compressor.
- the drive unit of the linear compressor shown in Fig. 1 for a household refrigeration appliance comprises in a conventional manner an E-shaped metallic yoke 1 with three parallel fingers, around whose middle finger a field winding 2 is arranged.
- a magnetic armature 4 is suspended on leaf springs 5 oscillating movable.
- the excitation winding 2 is acted upon by an unillustrated control circuit with an alternating current, which generates in the air gap magnetic fields of temporally alternating orientation, which drive the movement of the armature 4.
- the yoke 3, as shown in Fig. 1, be passive, or it can be arranged in mirror image to the yoke 1 and also be equipped with a field winding.
- the armature 4 drives a cylindrical piston 7 in a compression chamber 8 via a piston rod 6.
- the compressor chamber 8 is closed at an end facing away from the drive unit by an end wall 9, in which with valves 10, 1 1 equipped openings 12, 13 are formed.
- the end wall is thus preferably designed as a valve plate of the compressor chamber.
- the openings 12, 13 form suction and discharge ports for a refrigerant circulated by the compressor.
- One of the openings, the discharge opening 13, lies exactly on the longitudinal axis of the compression chamber 8.
- a cylindrical projection 14 on the piston 7 is dimensioned and placed to dive with a small clearance in the opening 13, just before the piston 7 touches the end wall 9.
- a coil 15 of an inductive sensor extends around the opening 13.
- the inductance of the coil 15 is dependent on the magnetic permeability of its surroundings and thus on the distance of the piston 7 from the end wall 9.
- the inductance of the coil 15 substantially is the inductance of the coil 15 and thus the measurement signal of the inductive sensor of which it is a part, largely independent of the position of the piston 7.
- the inductive sensor is able to deliver a measurement signal indicating that the distance between a piston 7 and end wall 9 is below a specified distance with much higher accuracy than in the case of a conventional piston with a flat end face.
- the detection result of the inductive sensor is independent of the thickness of the end wall
- the sensor is designed to deliver a detection signal each time the projection 14 is dipped into the opening 13, i. where the inductance varies most with the piston position and consequently the most accurate detection is possible.
- a desirable side effect of the projection 14 is a reduction in the dead volume of the compression chamber 8 at the upper reversal point, since the compressed refrigerant is expelled from the opening 13 largely.
- FIG. 2 shows a detailed perspective view of the end wall 9 and the valves 10, 11 of the compressor from FIG. 1.
- the projected outline of the piston 7 is drawn on the end wall 9 as a dashed circle 16. Outside the circle 16, at the four corners of the end wall, bores 17 are formed to receive screws, not shown, connecting the compression chamber 8 to a head 18 (see FIG. 1) beyond the end wall 9 and the compression chamber 8 and the end wall 9 Keep tight against each other.
- a further bore 19 connects a pressure-side chamber 20 of the head piece 18 with an annular cavity 21 surrounding the compressor chamber 8, from which a small portion of the compressed refrigerant flows through fine bore back into the compression chamber 8 to form a compressed gas bearing for the piston 7 ,
- Two further holes 22 in the end wall 9 are used to attach the valves 10, 1 1, whose structure will be discussed later in more detail.
- the valves 10, 11 are designed as leaf springs, which are fastened by means of rivets 25 extending through the bores 22 on the end wall.
- the leaf springs of the valves 11, 12 each have an elongated root 26 in which holes 22 complementary to the bores 27 are formed for the rivets 25, and an elastic tongue 28 projecting from the root towards the longitudinal axis.
- an opening 29 is cut, which, when the valve is riveted to the end wall 9, the outlet opening 13 leaves free.
- the tongue 28 of the outlet valve 11 abuts against the outlet bore 13 from the outside, its tip acting as a shut-off member of the outlet valve 11.
- the leaf springs of the valves 10, 11 may be made of an elastic dielectric material such as a plastic, so that the position of the inlet valve 10 does not significantly affect the inductance of the coil 15.
- the valve 10 may be made of spring steel when its opening 28 is large enough to release the coil 15.
- wire wound coil 15 is also a printed on a printed circuit board coil into consideration.
