The present disclosure relates to a reciprocating compressor and a method for assembling the same. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a reciprocating compressor includes: a shell to which a discharge pipe is coupled; a driving unit mounted inside the shell to generate a rotary force; a compression unit having a connecting rod configured to convert the rotary force to a straight driving force, a piston connected to the connecting rod, and a cylinder into which the piston is movably inserted; a discharge hose from which a refrigerant compressed in the cylinder is discharged, and disposed to abut an inner circumferential surface of the shell; and a connection member configured to connect the discharge hose to the discharge pipe, wherein at least a portion of the connection member is inserted into an inner portion of the discharge pipe, and another portion thereof is supported outside the discharge pipe.

Reciprocating compressor and method for assembling the same

A reciprocating compressor according to an aspect includes a driving unit; a connecting rod; a piston; a cylinder; and a valve assembly, wherein the valve assembly includes a valve plate forming a main body, a suction inlet and a discharge outlet disposed at the valve plate and coming in communication with a compression space of the cylinder to guide a refrigerant flow, a suction valve and a discharge valve disposed at the valve plate and selectively opening the suction inlet and the discharge outlet, and a plurality of coupling portions disposed at the valve plate, and a plurality of corresponding coupling portions disposed to correspond to each of the plurality of coupling portions and preventing the valve assembly from being erroneously assembled are disposed at the cylinder.
