Linear compressor

摘要

A linear compressor is provided that includes a cylinder having a compression space for refrigerant therein, a piston that linearly reciprocates inside the cylinder in an axis direction to compress the refrigerant, and a frame having a mounting hole so that one end of the cylinder may be mounted thereon and a deformation prevention portion in some section around the mounting hole brought into contact with the one end of the cylinder. Even if a size of the cylinder is increased and a size of the frame limited, the frame is provided with enough strength to support the cylinder, thereby reducing fastening deformations and improving operation reliability.

1. A linear compressor, comprising:
a fixed member including a cylinder that provides a compression space for a refrigerant; a moving member including a piston that compresses the refrigerant inside the cylinder, and a supporter comprising a central portion and a supporting portion that expands in a radius direction of the piston, the moving member being linearly reciprocated with respect to the fixed member; a plurality of front main springs, each having one end supported at a front surface of the supporting portion of the supporter and the other end supported at the fixed member, and being positioned to be symmetric around the piston; a rear main spring having one end supported at a rear surface of the central portion of the supporter and the other end supported at the fixed member; and a frame having a mounting hole in which one end of the cylinder is mounted, and having a fastening portion brought into contact with the cylinder, wherein the frame further includes an electric wiring hole provided at one side of the frame to supply power to a linear motor installed around the cylinder and at least one resistance reduction hole formed around the mounting hole to reduce air resistance during the linear reciprocation of the piston, and wherein a deformation prevention portion protrudes from the fastening portion in an axial direction longer than other parts of the fastening portion, only at an inner portion of the electric wiring hole or the at least one resistance reduction hole to reinforce a strength of the fastening portion of the frame in a side of the electric wiring hole or the at least one resistance reduction hole.
