Description

Linear compressor {Linear compressor}

The present invention relates to a linear compressor.

In general, a compressor is a mechanical device that increases pressure by receiving power from a power generating device such as an electric motor or a turbine and compressing air, refrigerant, or other various operating gases, and is widely used throughout the home appliance or industry. Is being used.

Such compressors may be classified into a reciprocating compressor, a rotary compressor, and a scroll compressor.

In the reciprocating compressor, a compression space for compressing a working gas is formed between a piston and a cylinder, and the piston compresses the refrigerant introduced into the compression space while linearly reciprocating within the cylinder.

Recently, among the reciprocating compressors, a piston is directly connected to a driving motor for reciprocating linear motion, so that compression efficiency can be improved without mechanical loss due to motion conversion, and a linear compressor having a simple structure has been developed.

Prior literature Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2016-0000324 (January 4, 2016) discloses a linear compressor.

The linear compressor disclosed in the prior literature discloses a gas bearing technology for performing a bearing function by supplying a refrigerant gas to a space between a cylinder and a piston. The refrigerant gas flows toward the outer circumferential surface of the piston through an orifice formed in the cylinder to perform a bearing function for the piston reciprocating.

On the other hand, in order to improve the compression efficiency of the linear compressor, it is necessary to minimize the consumption flow rate of refrigerant gas used as a gas bearing. In order to reduce the consumption flow rate of such refrigerant gas, the diameter or number of orifices formed in the cylinder should be reduced.If the diameter of the orifice is reduced or the number of orifices is reduced, the orifice is clogged, which greatly affects the reliability of the compressor.

That is, when the diameter of the orifice of the cylinder is small or the number of orifices is small, there is a problem that clogging occurs due to oil or a mixture of oil and dust, and thus the function of the gas bearing is significantly reduced.

In order to solve this problem, the prior literature uses a filter member of a sediment filter type by winding a thread formed of a polyethylene terephtahalate (PET) material around a gas inlet passage formed on the outer peripheral surface of a cylinder.

However, in this case, when the filter is exposed to the operating conditions of the compressor in which the pressure and temperature rapidly change for a long time, there is a problem in that the filtering performance decreases as time passes due to a decrease in tension of the filter. If the filtering performance is significantly deteriorated, there is a problem that the orifice is clogged by an oil or dust mixture.

The present invention has been proposed to improve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a linear compressor capable of strongly fixing a filter member installed in a cylinder.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a linear compressor capable of maintaining the tension of the filter by pressing the filter member into the cylinder even when the compressor is operated for a long time.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a linear compressor in which a filter fixing member can be mounted and separated by a simple structure.

A linear compressor according to an embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object includes a piston reciprocating in an axial direction and a cylinder accommodating the piston. The cylinder has a gas inlet passage that is recessed radially inward from the outer circumferential surface, and a seating groove that is further recessed radially inward from the gas inlet passage.

Can be pressurized.

By such a filter fixing member, the filter member can be firmly fixed to the cylinder, and a phenomenon of being separated or idle from the inside of the cylinder is prevented. In addition, since the filter fixing member presses a part of the filter member into the cylinder, even if the compressor is operated for a long time, the tension of the filter member is maintained, thereby minimizing deterioration of filter performance.

In addition, the gas inlet passage may extend along a circumferential direction of the cylinder, and the filter member may be installed by being wound along the gas inlet passage in a circumferential direction. In this case, the seating groove may be formed by being further recessed in the axial direction in the gas inflow passage.

In this case, a part of the filter member may be disposed between the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion. Accordingly, the filter fixing member may be strongly inserted into the cylinder.

In addition, each of the first and second seating portions includes a first surface forming a plane and a second surface forming a curved surface, and each first surface is disposed to face each other, and each The two sides can be convexly rounded toward opposite directions.

In this case, the plate may be in close contact with the bottom surface of the seating groove, and the extension portion may be in close contact with the inner surface of the seating groove. The extension part may be formed to have the same width as that of the plate.

In addition, the extension part includes a first extension part extending upward from one end of the plate and a second extension part extending upward from the other end of the plate, and the first extension part and the second extension part, It may be plastically deformed in a direction closer to each other to be in close contact with the filter member.

According to the linear compressor according to the present invention having the configuration as described above has the following effects.

First, by providing a filter fixing member that holds the filter member installed in the cylinder, there is an advantage that the filter member is prevented from being separated from the cylinder or being idle.

In particular, since the filter fixing member can pressurize the filter member from the outside of the cylinder to the inside, even if the tension of the seal filter is weakened by the long operation of the compressor, the tension of the seal filter can be maintained and the filter performance is maintained accordingly. Can be.

Second, since the filter fixing member is easily mounted in a seating groove that is further recessed radially inward in the gas inflow passage in which the filter member is installed, the filter member can be mounted and separated by a simple structure.

Third, a part of the filter fixing member is seated in the seating groove, and the other part is plastically deformed to fix the filter member, so there is an advantage in that the installation freedom of the filter fixing member is high.

For example, the product may include a refrigerator, and the base may include a machine room base of the refrigerator. As another example, the product may include an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, and the base may include a base of the outdoor unit.

The shell 101 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and may be laid in a horizontal direction or laid in an axial direction. Referring to FIG. 1, the shell 101 extends long in the horizontal direction and may have a slightly lower height in the radial direction. That is, since the linear compressor 10 may have a low height, for example, when the linear compressor 10 is installed on a machine room base of a refrigerator, there is an advantage of reducing the height of the machine room.

On the outer surface of the shell 101, a terminal 108 may be installed. The terminal 108 is understood as a configuration for transferring external power to the motor assembly 140 (refer to FIG. 3) of the linear compressor. In particular, the terminal 108 may be connected to the lead wire of the coil 141c (see FIG. 3).

Outside of the terminal 108, a bracket 109 is installed. The bracket 109 may include a plurality of brackets surrounding the terminal 108. The bracket 109 may perform a function of protecting the terminal 108 from an external impact.

Both sides of the shell 101 are configured to be opened. The shell covers 102 and 103 may be coupled to both sides of the opened shell 101. Specifically, the shell covers 102 and 103 include a first shell cover 102 coupled to an opened side of the shell 101 and a second shell cover coupled to the opened other side of the shell 101 (103) is included.
