A linear compressor includes a frame, a cylinder disposed in the frame, a piston configured to axially reciprocate in the piston, a discharge valve disposed at a front of the piston, and a discharge cover assembly coupled to the frame and disposed at the front of the piston. The discharge cover assembly includes a discharge cover including an inner space, a first discharge plenum that is disposed in the inner space of the discharge cover and defines a first discharge space inside the first discharge plenum, and a second discharge plenum disposed between the first discharge plenum and the discharge cover. The second discharge plenum defines a second discharge space in fluid communication with the first discharge space and a third discharge space in fluid communication with the second discharge space between the first discharge plenum and the second discharge plenum.

Linear compressor

A linear compressor includes a cylinder, a piston configured to axially reciprocate in the cylinder, a first muffler unit coupled to the piston, a back cover that is disposed at a rear of the piston and defines an opening in a radially central area thereof, and a second muffler unit coupled to the opening. The first muffler unit includes an inner guide disposed in the piston and a first intake muffler disposed at a rear of the inner guide. The second muffler unit includes a second intake muffler that is in fluid communication with the first intake muffler and coupled to the opening, and a muffler body surrounding the second intake muffler. The second muffler unit further includes a rib protruding from an outer surface or an inner surface of the second intake muffler.

The second muffler unit includes a second intake muffler that communicates with the first intake muffler and is coupled to the opening, a muffler body surrounding the second intake muffler, and a muffler cover disposed between the muffler body and the back cover.

A linear compressor includes a shell, a motor in the shell, a mover coupled to the motor and configured to perform a reciprocating motion in an axial direction, a cylinder disposed in the shell, a piston coupled to the mover and configured to reciprocate in the cylinder, a spring that supports the piston in the axial direction, and a spring cap inserted into an end portion of the spring. The spring cap defines a space portion that is defined inside the spring cap and has a volume separate from the inner space of the shell, and a passage portion that extends through an axial side surface of the spring cap and is configured to provide communication between the space portion and the inner space of the shell.

A linear compressor includes a cylinder, a discharge valve, a valve spring pressing the discharge valve to close one side of the cylinder, and a spring support portion providing a support point for the valve spring to press the discharge valve. The valve spring includes a first spring arm whose center is connected to the discharge valve and extending spirally, a second spring arm spaced apart from the first spring arm by a predetermined distance with respect to an axial direction of the cylinder and extending spirally toward an outer portion according to a shape of the first spring arm, and a rubber damper connecting the first spring arm and the second spring arm and fixing relative positions of the first spring arm and the second spring arm.

A linear compressor includes a shell having a first opening and a second opening defined at opposite ends of the shell, a compressor body including a cylinder and a piston accommodated in the shell, a support part that protrudes from an end portion of the compressor body toward the second opening, a supporting damper that extends from the support part toward an inner surface of the shell. The supporting damper includes a first portion that is coupled to the support part and that defines a single contact region between the support part and the supporting damper, and at least two second portions that extend from the first portion to the inner surface of the shell and that define at least two contact regions that are spaced apart from each other along the inner surface of the shell.

A linear compressor may include a shell, a shell cover, a compressor body disposed in the shell, and a support device configured to connect the compressor body to the shell cover to prevent the compressor body from contacting an inner peripheral surface of the shell. The support device includes a support spring formed with a hole in a central portion and having a spiral spring arm extending from the central portion to an outer portion, at least a portion of the outer portion being connected to the compressor body, a rigid connection portion spaced apart from the support spring by a predetermined distance, and an elastic connection portion formed to surround at least a portion of a periphery of the hole of the support spring to connect the support spring and the rigid connection portion and coupled to the shell cover.

A linear compressor is provided that may include a shell having a cylindrical shape, a compressor main body inserted into the shell, a first shell cover coupled to a rear end of the shell, a first support coupled to a front end of the compressor main body that supports the front end of the compressor main body, and a second support that couples a rear end of the compressor main body to the first shell cover and supports the rear end of the compressor main body. The first support may include a support head coupled to a center of the front end of the compressor main body, and a pair of dampers having both ends respectively coupled to the support head and an inner circumferential surface of the shell.

The present invention relates to an active suspension system allowing the force acting axis of a spring to be controlled, wherein a control means for the force acting axis of a spring is installed either between an upper seat plate and an upper arm, or between a lower seat plate and a lower arm so as to allow the wheel rate and vehicle height to be controlled by varying the force acting axis of the coil spring, and a manipulation unit capable of controlling the operation of the control means for the force acting axis of a spring is installed inside the vehicle. By varying the force acting axis of the coil spring, the present invention can significantly improve the marketability of the suspension system and reliability of the vehicle by varying the ride quality.

Spring force acting axis controllable active suspension system

A linear compressor is provided. The linear compressor may include a discharge cover including a plurality of covers stacked in an axial direction.

A linear compressor is provided. The linear compressor may include a shell having a cylindrical shape and a horizontal central longitudinal axis, a fixing bracket provided on an inner circumferential surface of the shell, a compressor body accommodated in the shell in a state of being spaced apart from the inner circumferential surface of the shell to compress a refrigerant, a support connected to the fixing bracket to support the compressor body, and a coupling member that connects the support to the fixing bracket. The support may include a plate spring and a buffer coupled to an edge of the plate spring. The coupling member may pass through the buffer and be coupled to the fixing bracket.
