LINEAR COMPRESSOR

摘要

A linear compressor is provided that may include a shell in which a discharge port is provided, a cylinder disposed in the shell to define a compression space for a refrigerant, a piston disposed to be reciprocated in an axial direction within the cylinder, a discharge valve disposed on or at one side of the cylinder to selectively discharge the refrigerant compressed in the compression space, the discharge valve including an insertion protrusion, and a valve spring coupled to the discharge valve to provide a restoring force to the discharge valve. The valve spring may include a spring body having a central portion defined at a portion corresponding to a center of the cylinder, and an insertion hole defined in the spring body. The insertion hole may be coupled to the insertion protrusion of the discharge valve. The central portion of the spring body may be spaced apart from a central portion of the insertion hole.

1. A linear compressor, comprising:
a shell in which a discharge port is provided; a cylinder provided in the shell to define a compression space for a refrigerant; a piston provided to be reciprocated in an axial direction within the cylinder; a discharge valve provided at one side of the cylinder to selectively discharge the refrigerant compressed in the compression space for the refrigerant, wherein the discharge valve includes an insertion protrusion; and a valve spring coupled to the discharge valve to provide a restoring force to the discharge valve, wherein the valve spring includes:
a spring body having a central portion defined at a portion corresponding to a center of the cylinder; andan insertion hole defined in the spring body, wherein the insertion hole is coupled to the insertion protrusion of the discharge valve, and wherein the central portion of the spring body is spaced apart from a central portion of the insertion hole.
