LINEAR COMPRESSOR AND REFRIGERATOR INCLUDING A LINEAR COMPRESSOR

摘要

A linear compressor and a refrigerator including a linear compressor are provided. The linear compressor may include a compressor casing connected to each of a suction inlet, through which a refrigerant may be introduced, and a discharge outlet, through which the refrigerant may be discharged, a compressor body mounted within the compressor casing, within which the refrigerant suctioned in through the suction inlet may be compressed due to a linear reciprocating motion of a piston in an axial direction of the compressor casing and discharged into the discharge outlet, and at least one plate spring disposed on each end of the compressor body in the axial direction.

1. A linear compressor, comprising:
a compressor casing connected to each of a suction inlet, through which a refrigerant is introduced into the linear compressor, and a discharge outlet, through which the refrigerant is discharged for the linear compressor; a compressor body mounted within the compressor casing, in which the refrigerant suctioned in through the suction inlet is compressed due to a linear reciprocating motion of a piston in an axial direction of the compressor casing and discharged to the discharge outlet; and a plurality of plate spring disposed, respectively, on each of first and second ends of the compressor body in an axial direction.
