Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a linear compressor which can reduce vibration through the phase shift between vibration factors.
  • a compressor is a mechanical apparatus for receiving power from a power generation apparatus, such as an electric motor, a turbine, etc. and compressing the air, refrigerant or other various operating gases to raise the pressure.
  • the compressor has been widely used in electric home appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, etc., and its application has been expanded to the whole industry.
  • the compressors are roughly classified into a reciprocating compressor in which a compression space for sucking and discharging an operating gas is defined between a piston and a cylinder so that the piston can be linearly reciprocated in the cylinder to compress a refrigerant, a rotary compressor in which a compression space for sucking and discharging an operating gas is defined between an eccentrically-rotated roller and a cylinder so that the roller can be eccentrically rotated along the inner wall of the cylinder to compress a refrigerant, and a scroll compressor in which a compression space for sucking and discharging an operating gas is defined between an orbiting scroll and a fixed scroll so that the orbiting scroll can be rotated along the fixed scroll to compress a refrigerant.
  • linear compressor which not only improves compression efficiency but also has a simple structure has been actively developed among the reciprocating compressors.
  • the linear compressor does not have a mechanical loss caused by motion conversion since a piston is directly connected to a driving motor which performs a linear reciprocating motion.
  • FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of vibration factors of a conventional linear compressor.
  • the conventional linear compressor includes a hermetic container 10 defining a sealed space and a main body 20 composed of a cylinder, a piston and a linear motor and compressing a refrigerant in the hermetic container 10 .
  • the main body 20 is elastically supported in the hermetic container 10 by a plurality of support springs S and a loop pipe L defining a discharge passage of the refrigerant, and the hermetic container 10 is fixed to and elastically supported on the installation surface via a mount 11 provided on its bottom surface.
  • the linear compressor Normally, in the linear compressor, a permanent magnet of the linear motor driving the piston is driven together with the piston, which increases the vibration as well as the mass of a mechanism unit performing a linear reciprocating motion.
  • the linear compressor since the linear compressor operates in a resonance state to improve compression efficiency, reducing the mass of the mechanism unit to reduce vibration may unsuitably degrade the overall efficiency of the compressor. Therefore, in the linear compressor, it is necessary to optimize the vibration transferring characteristic between the hermetic container 10 and the main body 20 so as to reduce vibration.
  • the factors having an influence on the vibration transferring characteristic include the mount 11 , the support springs S, and the loop pipe L.
  • FIG. 2 is a graph showing vibration displacements of the loop pipe employed in the conventional linear compressor.
  • the design is made such that the conventional linear compressor has a rated operating frequency of 60 Hz and that the loop pipe has a natural frequency of 70 Hz to 90 Hz which is higher than the rated operating frequency.
  • the linear motor raises the operating frequency from 0 Hz to 60 Hz upon starting.
  • the natural frequency of the loop pipe is lower than the operating frequency of the linear compressor, while the operating frequency of the linear compressor is raised to the rated operating frequency upon starting, resonance occurs when the operating frequency of the linear compressor becomes equal to the natural frequency of the loop pipe, which may lead to damage of the loop pipe. It is thus preferable that the natural frequency of the loop pipe should be set higher than the rated operating frequency of the linear compressor.
  • the main body is elastically supported in the hermetic container by the support springs and the loop pipe, and the natural frequency of the loop pipe is set higher than the rated operating frequency. While the operating frequency is raised to the rated operating frequency upon starting, the exciting force of the loop pipe increases in the same direction as the exciting force of the support springs. As a result, the exciting force of the loop pipe and the exciting force of the support springs are superimposed, which amplifies vibration transferred to the entire compressor upon starting.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a linear compressor which can reduce vibration through the phase shift.
  • a linear compressor including: a hermetic container which defines a sealed space where a refrigerant flows in and out and which has an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe; a cylinder provided in the hermetic container and having a compression space therein; a piston linearly reciprocated in the cylinder and compressing the refrigerant of the compression space; a linear motor supplying a driving force to the piston and operating the piston at a set operating frequency; a plurality of support springs elastically supporting an assembly composed of the cylinder, the piston and the linear motor on the bottom surface of the hermetic container; and a loop pipe provided to guide the refrigerant compressed in the compression space to the outlet pipe, wherein the exciting force exerted on the hermetic container by the loop pipe has an opposite phase to the exciting force exerted on the hermetic container by the support springs.
  • the natural frequency of the loop pipe may be set equal to or lower than the rated operating frequency of the linear motor.
  • the rated operating frequency of the linear motor may be set to 60 Hz, and the natural frequency of the loop pipe may be set to 50 Hz or less.
  • a linear compressor including: a hermetic container which defines a sealed space where a refrigerant flows in and out; a cylinder provided in the hermetic container and having a compression space therein; a piston linearly reciprocated in the cylinder and compressing the refrigerant of the compression space; a linear motor supplying a driving force to the piston and operating the piston at a set operating frequency; a support spring elastically supporting an assembly composed of the cylinder, the piston and the linear motor on the bottom surface of the hermetic container; and a loop pipe provided to guide the refrigerant compressed in the compression space to the outlet pipe, wherein the rated operating frequency of the linear motor is greater than the natural frequency of the loop pipe.
  • the rated operating frequency of the linear motor may be determined in proportion to the natural frequency of the loop pipe.
  • the main body is elastically supported in the hermetic container by the support springs and the loop pipe, and the natural frequency of the loop pipe is set lower than the rated operating frequency. Since the linear compressor operates at the rated operating frequency directly upon starting by using the inverter motor, the exciting force of the loop pipe moves in the opposite direction to the exciting force of the support springs at the rated operating frequency, thereby reducing vibration transferred to the entire compressor.

  • the outer stator 440 is secured in the axial direction by a frame 520 and a motor cover 540 .
  • the frame 520 and the motor cover 540 are coupled to each other by means of a fastening member such as a bolt, so that the outer stator 440 is secured between the frame 520 and the motor cover 540 .
  • the frame 520 may be integrated with the cylinder 200 or may be separately manufactured and coupled to the cylinder 200 . In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 , the frame 520 and the cylinder 200 are provided as an integral unit.
  • a supporter 320 is connected to the rear of the piston 300 . Both ends of four front main springs 800 are supported by the supporter 320 and the motor cover 540 . In addition, both ends of four rear main springs 800 are supported by the supporter 320 and a back cover 560 that is coupled to the rear of the motor cover 540 . Moreover, a suction muffler 700 is provided at the rear of the piston 300 and reduces noise when a refrigerant flows into the piston 300 .
  • the piston 300 is provided as a hollow type so that the refrigerant flowing through the suction muffler 700 can be introduced into and compressed in a compression space P defined between the cylinder 200 and the piston 300 .
  • a suction valve 610 which is provided at a front end of the piston 300 , opens the front end of the piston 300 to allow the refrigerant to flow from the piston 300 to the compression space P and closes it to prevent the refrigerant from flowing backward from the compression space P to the piston 300 .
  • the refrigerant If the refrigerant is compressed in the compression space P over a given pressure by the piston 300 , it opens a discharge valve 620 positioned at a front end of the cylinder 200 .
  • the discharge valve 620 is provided in a support cap 640 secured to one end of the cylinder 200 and is elastically supported by a spiral discharge valve spring 630 .
  • the compressed high-pressure refrigerant is discharged to a discharge cap 660 through a hole formed in the support cap 640 , discharged to the outside of the linear compressor 100 through a loop pipe L, and circulated in a refrigeration cycle.
  • the respective components of the linear compressor 100 described above are supported by a front support spring 120 and a rear support spring 140 in the assembled state and spaced apart from the bottom of the hermetic container 110 . Since the components are not in direct contact with the bottom of the hermetic container 110 , vibration generated in the respective components of the linear compressor 100 while they are compressing the refrigerant is not directly transferred to the hermetic container 110 . As a result, it is possible to reduce vibration transferred to the outside of the hermetic container 110 and noise caused by the vibration of the hermetic container 110 .
  • the linear compressor As described in connection with the prior art, it is necessary for the linear compressor to optimize the vibration transferring characteristic so as to reduce vibration and also necessary to place a limitation on the design of the loop pipe L which is a factor having an influence on compression efficiency.

  • the natural frequency f lp of the loop pipe is set lower than the rated operating frequency f so as to reduce vibration through the phase shift.
  • the loop pipe vibrates in a positive (+) direction at a frequency lower than its natural frequency f lp
  • the linear motor operates at the rated operating frequency f directly upon starting in order to prevent damage of the loop pipe. At this time, if the linear motor sweeps from 0 to the rated operating frequency f upon starting, the operating frequency becomes equal to the natural frequency f lp of the loop pipe before reaching to the rated operating frequency f, which leads to resonance damaging the loop pipe. It is thus preferable to employ an inverter motor, which operates at the rated operating frequency f directly upon starting, as the linear motor.
  • the rated operating frequency f may be set to 60 Hz so that the linear motor operates at the rated operating frequency f directly upon starting, and the natural frequency f lp of the loop pipe may be set to 50 Hz or less which is lower than the rated operating frequency f.
