- Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. An embodiment of a compressor according to the present disclosure relates to a hermetic reciprocating compressor, however, the present disclosure is not limited to this.
- Also, the compressor according to the present disclosure is used in various home appliances, such as a refrigerator, a water purifier, etc., however, the
compressor 1 is not limited to being used in such home appliances. -
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a compressor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown inFIG. 1 , acompressor 1 may include acase 10 forming the outer appearance. Thecase 10 may be made of a metal material. - Generally, the
case 10 may be manufactured by plastic working a steel sheet by a deep drawing method, etc. That is, thecase 10 may be manufactured by welding two steel plate structures manufactured in the shape of a hemisphere, and a press method may be used to manufacture a steel plate sheet in the shape of a hemisphere having a predetermined thickness. - The
case 10 may includeaccommodating space 11 for accommodating components installed in the inside of thecompressor 1 in such a way for the components to be spaced a predetermined distance from the inner wall of thecase 10 in order to be prevented from contacting thecase 10. - The
compressor 1 may include aframe 12 for fixing the components installed in the inside of thecase 10. Thecompressor 1 may include compressingmechanism 20 installed above theframe 12, and electrically-drivenmechanism 30 installed below theframe 12 for driving thecompressing mechanism 20. - The
compressing mechanism 20 may include acylinder 21 forming compressing space for a refrigerant and fixed on theframe 12, and apiston 22 moving back and forth in the inside of thecylinder 21 to compress the refrigerant. - The electrically-driven
mechanism 30 may include astator 100 fixed on theframe 12, and arotor 31 rotating in the inside of thestator 100. - The
cylinder 21 may be made of an aluminum material. The aluminum material may be aluminum or an aluminum alloy. Due to the aluminum material which is a nonmagnetic material, magnetic flux generated in therotor 31 may be not transferred to thecylinder 21. - Accordingly, the magnetic flux generated in the
rotor 31 may be prevented from being transferred to thecylinder 21 to leak to the outside of thecylinder 21. - The
piston 22 may also be made of an aluminum material, like thecylinder 21. Accordingly, like thecylinder 21, magnetic flux generated in therotor 31 may be prevented from being transferred to thepiston 22 to leak to the outside of thepiston 22. - Since the
piston 22 is made of the same material as thecylinder 21, thepiston 22 may have the nearly same thermal expansion coefficient as thecylinder 21. - Since the
piston 22 has the nearly same thermal expansion coefficient as thecylinder 21, thepiston 22 may be deformed by the nearly same amount as thecylinder 21 in the high-temperature inside environment of thecase 10 when thecompressor 1 is driven. - Accordingly, when the
piston 22 reciprocates in the inside of thecylinder 21, thepiston 22 may be prevented from interfering with thecylinder 21. - The
rotor 31 may include acavity 31 a. Thestator 100 may include astator core 110 corresponding to a fixed portion when the electrically-drivenmechanism 30 is driven, and a stator coil 130 (seeFIG. 4 ) installed in the inside of thestator core 110. - The
stator core 110 may be made of a metal material, and may be in the shape of a cylinder. When a voltage is applied from a power supply (not shown), thestator coil 130 may generate an electromagnetic force to perform an electromagnetic interaction together with thestator core 110 and therotor 31. - The electrically-driven
mechanism 30 may include aninsulator 120 disposed between thestator core 110 and thestator coil 130. Theinsulator 120 may prevent thestator core 110 from directly contacting thestator coil 130. - The
insulator 120 may include an upper insulator 121 (seeFIG. 4 ) disposed on thestator core 110, and alower insulator 122 disposed below thestator core 110. - The
stator coil 130 may be wound together with thestator core 110, theupper insulator 121, and thelower insulator 122. - When the
stator coil 130 directly contacts thestator core 110, thestator core 110 may interfere with generation of an electromagnetic force from thestator coil 130. Theinsulator 120 may space thestator coil 130 from thestator core 110 by a predetermined distance. - The
rotor 31 may be rotatably installed in the inside of thestator core 110. Therotor 31 may include a magnet (not shown). Therotor 31 may rotate by an electromagnetic interaction between thestator core 110 and thestator coil 130, when a voltage is applied to therotor 31. - The
compressor 1 may be disposed vertically to transfer a driving force of the electrically-drivenmechanism 30 to thecompressing mechanism 20, and include arotation shaft 40 rotatably supported by ashaft support portion 13 of theframe 12. - The
rotation shaft 40 may be pressed in thecavity 31a of therotor 31, and rotate together with therotor 31. - On the
rotation shaft 40, aneccentric portion 41 may be formed to be eccentric from the center axis of rotation of therotor 31, and theeccentric portion 41 may be connected to thepiston 22 by a connectingrod 23. - Accordingly, a rotation motion of the
rotation shaft 40 may be converted to a linear motion of thepiston 22 by the connectingrod 23. The connectingrod 23 may be made of a sintered alloy material. - Below the
eccentric portion 41, adisk portion 42 may extend in a radial direction. Between thedisk portion 42 and theshaft support portion 13, a trust bearing 43 (seeFIG. 3 ) may be interposed to smoothly rotate therotation shaft 40 and simultaneously support the axial-direction weight of therotation shaft 40. - In the lower portion of the
case 10, oil for lubricating and cooling the individual components of thecompressor 1 may be stored, and the oil may be raised through therotation shaft 40 to be supplied to the individual components. - The
rotation shaft 40 may have acavity 44 for raising oil stored in thecase 10 through the inner circumferential surface. Thepickup shaft 50 may be inserted into thecavity 44. - The
pickup shaft 50 may be supported by asupport member 60. Accordingly, when therotation shaft 40 rotates, thepickup shaft 60 may not rotate. - The
compressor 1 may include abracket 200 coupled to the lower portion of thestator core 110. Thebracket 200 may support thestator core 110. - The
support member 60 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be coupled to thebracket 200 or thestator core 110. Thepickup shaft 60 may be inserted into thecavity 44, and supported on thebracket 200 or thestator core 110 by thesupport member 60. - A coupling structure of the
support member 60 with thebracket 200 or thestator core 100 will be described in detail, later. -
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a coupling structure of a rotation shaft and a pickup shaft in a compressor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, andFIG. 3 shows a structure for raising oil in a compressor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. - Hereinafter, a structure for raising oil will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
- As shown in
FIGS. 2 and3 , aspiral wing 51 may be formed in the outer circumferential surface of thepickup shaft 50 to raise oil stored in thecase 10 together with the inner circumferential surface of therotation shaft 40. - Accordingly, when the
rotation shaft 40 rotates, oil stored in thecase 10 may rotate in the rotation direction of therotation shaft 40 by viscosity with therotation shaft 40 to raise along thespiral wing 51 of thepickup shaft 50. - In
FIG. 3 , A represents the rotation direction of therotation shaft 40, and means that therotation shaft 40 rotates in a clockwise direction as seen from above therotation shaft 40. Hereinafter, the rotation direction of therotation shaft 40 will be described as the rotation direction of therotation shaft 40 when seen from above therotation shaft 40. InFIG. 3 , B represents a direction in which oil rises. - When the
rotation shaft 40 rotates in the clockwise direction, the oil stored in thecase 10 may rotate in the clockwise direction by viscosity with therotation shaft 40. - The oil rotating in the clockwise direction may rise along the
spiral wing 51 formed in the outer circumferential surface of thepickup shaft 50. That is, a centrifugal force generated by a rotation of therotation shaft 40 may be converted to a lifting force by thespiral wing 51 to thus raise the oil. - At this time, the
pickup shaft 50 and thespiral wing 51 may not rotate by thesupport member 60 although therotation shaft 40 rotates, as described above. - As such, the
compressor 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may raise oil through the inner circumferential surface of therotation shaft 40. - In the case of a structure of raising oil through the outer circumferential surface of the
rotation shaft 40, the oil may be prevented from being raised by surface pressure (or viscosity with the shaft support portion 13) of theshaft support portion 13, and accordingly, it may be necessary to maintain predetermined RPM of therotation shaft 40 in order to raise the oil. - The
compressor 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may raise oil even at low RPM since rising oil is not subject to surface pressure from theshaft support portion 13. - Also, for the same reason, since the
compressor 1 can raise oil with a small centrifugal force, it may be possible to reduce the diameter of therotation shaft 40. - The
pickup shaft 50 may include a throughportion 52 which protrudes downward and to which thesupport member 60 is coupled. In the throughportion 52, a throughhole 53 which thesupport member 60 penetrates may be formed. - The
support member 60 may be a wire. Thesupport member 60 may be a wire bent at a plurality of positions. Thesupport member 60 may include anextension portion 61 penetrating the throughhole 53 of thepickup shaft 50, and an insertion portion 62 coupled to the bracket 200 (seeFIG. 1 ) or the stator core 110 (seeFIG. 1 ). - The
extension portion 61 may include afirst extension portion 61a bent downward from theinsertion portion 61, and a second extension portion 61b bent from thefirst extension portion 61a and penetrating the throughportion 52. - The
pickup shaft 50 may be first coupled with thesupport member 60, and thesupport member 60 may be coupled with thebracket 200 or thestator core 110. Theextension portion 61 of thesupport member 60 may be inserted into the throughhole 53 of thepickup shaft 50, and then, the insertion portion 62 of thesupport member 60 may be coupled to thebracket 200 or thestator core 110. - At this time, the
support member 60 may be made of a material having elasticity, such as a flat spring. Accordingly, when thesupport member 60 is coupled to thebracket 200 or thestator core 110, thesupport member 60 may be more or less widened. - After the
support member 60 is coupled to thebracket 200 or thestator core 110, thesupport member 60 may be firmly coupled to thebracket 200 or thestator core 110 by the restoring force. - Hereinafter, a structure in which the
support member 60 is coupled to thebracket 200 or thestator core 100 will be described in detail. -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the bottom of a support structure of a pickup shaft in a compressor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, andFIGS. 5 and 6 show a bracket in a compressor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. - As shown in
FIGS. 4 to 6 , thebracket 200 may be disposed adjacent to theinsulator 120. Thebracket 200 may be disposed adjacent to thelower insulator 122. Thebracket 200 may be spaced from thelower insulator 122. Thebracket 200 may be spaced outward from thelower insulator 122. - The
bracket 200 may be coupled to theframe 12 with thestator core 110 in between. Thebracket 200 may be coupled to theframe 12 by a coupling member (not shown) penetrating thestator core 110. - A plurality of
brackets 200 may be provided. Thecompressor 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include twobrackets 200. However, thebracket 200 may be configured in various forms, as long as it can couple and support the components installed in the inside of thecase 10. - The
bracket 200 may include abracket body 210, and afirst coupling hole 211 formed in thebracket body 210 and coupled to theframe 12. - A plurality of first coupling holes 211 may be formed. The
bracket 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include two first coupling holes 211, although not limited thereto. - The
