Description
- The present invention relates to a reciprocating hermetic compressor for use in a refrigeration appliance, in particular a domestic refrigerator.
- A domestic refrigerator is typically provided with a reciprocating compressor for circulating a cooling refrigerant of the refrigeration circuit. The conventional reciprocating compressor is usually arranged in a lower cabinet of the domestic refrigerator. The cabinet should at least possess a size and shape which suits the compressor. Therefore, a corresponding volume of the domestic refrigerator must be reserved for the cabinet. Consequently, the utilizable volume for the refrigeration compartments generally reduces. One way to compensate for the reduction in the utilizable volume is to provide a domestic refrigerator with larger dimensions. However, this incurs additional manufacturing costs. Another way to gain more utilizable space is to reduce the compressor size. However, design limitations and operational constraints generally prevent attaining a significant reduction in the size of a compressor.
- Fig. 1 shows a conventional reciprocating compressor (1´). The conventional reciprocating compressor (1´) has a casing (3´) which is typically made of an upper part (3a´) and a lower part (3b). The casing (3´) encloses a cylinder block (4´) which has a chamber (5´) for compressing a refrigerant, a piston mechanism for compressing the refrigerant in the chamber (5´) and an electrical motor (6´) for driving the piston mechanism. In the conventional reciprocating compressor (1´), the piston mechanism comprises a piston head (21´) arranged to reciprocate within the chamber (5´), a piston rod (22´) and a crank shaft which are serially coupled to each other. The crankshaft is rotatably supported solely by the cylinder block (4´). In the conventional reciprocating compressor (1´), the electrical motor (6´) comprises a stator (7´) and a rotor (8´) which are typically configured as an asynchronous motor or a brushless direct current motor. The rotor (8´) is fixed to the crank shaft of the piston mechanism. In the conventional reciprocating compressor (1´), the cylinder block (4´) and the stator (7´) are firmly fixed to a pillar-like support which is further fixed to a lower part (3b´) of the casing (3´) via a damping mechanism.
- A problem with the reduction of the size of the constituent parts of the compressor is that such modifications generally result in a significant amount of reduction in the refrigeration capacity.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide a reciprocating compressor which overcomes the aforementioned problems of the prior art and which increases the utilizable volume of a refrigerator without compromising its refrigeration capacity.
- This objective has been achieved by the compressor according to the present invention as defined in claim 1, and the refrigeration appliance according to the present invention as defined in claim 15. Further achievements have been attained by the subject-matters respectively defined in the dependent claims.
- In the compressor of the present invention, the motor is an axial flux motor which has a stator and a rotor. The stator and the rotor are separated by a gap in an axial direction which is perpendicular to a rotation plane of the rotor. The rotor is rotatably secured to the casing via a support mechanism which is separately provided from the piston mechanism and the cylinder block. The piston mechanism is coupled to the rotor via a pivot that is eccentrically mounted to the rotor.
- By virtue of the support mechanism of the present invention, the conventional fixing of the rotor to the crank shaft becomes superfluous. By virtue of the pivot of the present invention, the conventional use of the crank shaft becomes also superfluous. Therefore, the crank shaft can be completely dispensed with. Moreover, in the absence of the crank shaft, the conventional bearing provided in the cylinder block which supports the crank shaft becomes also superfluous. Therefore, the conventional bearing in the cylinder can also be dispensed with. Thus, the height of the cylinder block can be substantially reduced. By the present invention a substantial reduction in the height of the compressor has been attained. The axial flux motor generally produces a magnetic flux in the axial direction. The axial flux motor has generally a reduced height in comparison to a conventionally used motor. In the present invention, the required torque for the piston mechanism has been attained by securing a sufficiently large horizontal area for the rotor and the stator. Thereby, the size of a conventional compressor has been reduced without compromising its refrigeration capacity.
- In an embodiment, the support mechanism has a bearing which rotatably secures the rotor. The bearing is embedded in a support which is directly fixed to the casing.
- In another embodiment, the rotor, the bearing and the support each has an annular shape which together define a passage for conveying lubricant from a bottom of the casing to a vicinity of the moving parts. In a version of this embodiment, an oil conduit is rotatably arranged in the lubricant passage. In another version of this embodiment, the conduit is funnel shaped. A small open end of the conduit is immersed in the oil that is accumulated in a bottom of the casing whereas the large open end opens towards the piston mechanism.
- In another embodiment, a radial position of the pivot is adjustable through an adjusting mechanism which is built into the rotor. Thereby, the compressor can be adapted to different refrigeration appliances to attain a reduced or increased refrigeration capacity.
- In another embodiment, the pivot is a pin which is centered at position outside an annular opening of the rotor.
- In another embodiment, the rotor has a mounting disc which has a plurality of permanent magnets which are fixed on its lower surface along an annular array around the axial direction so as to pick up an axial magnetic flux generated by the stator. The stator is arranged below the rotor. The pivot is eccentrically arranged on an upper surface of mounting disc. The cylinder block is arranged above the rotor. Thereby a very compact arrangement is attained. In a version of this embodiment, a plurality of winding coils are mounted onto pedestals which are arranged on a bottom of the casing along an annular array around the axial direction so as to oppose the plurality of magnets.
- In another embodiment, the casing is configured by an upper part and a lower part. The cylinder block is fixed to the upper part. The stator is fixed to the lower part of the casing. The support mechanism is also mounted to the lower part of the casing. In a version of this embodiment, a suction silencer is arranged in an upper part of the casing for drawing refrigerant from a refrigeration circuit through an intake conduit. In another version of the embodiment, the intake conduit is arranged on an upper wall of the upper part of the casing. In another version of the embodiment, a cylinder head of the cylinder block is arranged on a lateral wall of the upper part of the casing.
- By virtue of the axial flux motor and the coupling between the piston mechanism and the rotor, a size of the compressor has been reduced and also a sufficient refrigeration capacity has been secured despite of the reduced size. The compressor of the present invention has a relatively small height and is generally flat shape. Thereby, the utilizable volume for the refrigeration compartments has been effectively increased. The compressor of the present invention is compact and easy to assemble.

- Figure 1 – is a schematic cross sectional view of a conventional reciprocating compressor;
