Elastic member and vibration absorption apparatus for a refrigerator compressor

A vibration absorption apparatus for a refrigerator compressor, the vibration absorption apparatus comprising:

• an elastic member of a driving device comprising:
• a body having a hollow passing through a central portion in an axial direction and a plurality grooves enclosing an inner surface and outer surface thereof to have a vertical section in a zigzag, a projection of an upper portion of the body whose horizontal sectional area is less than the horizontal sectional area of the body, and a base being a lower portion of the body, and on which a compressor is mounted;
• a base pan for supporting the elastic member;
• a stand passing through a hollow of the elastic member;
• and
• a stopper installed on the stand so as to be forcedly attached to the projection of the elastic member, for preventing the elastic member from being escaped.

A refrigerator comprising:

• an outer case;
• a cooling system comprising:
• a compressor, an inner heat exchanger, a refrigerant expansion unit and an outer heat exchanger;
• and
• a vibration absorption apparatus for a refrigerator compressor comprising:
• an elastic member on which a compressor is mounted, a base pan for supporting the elastic member;
• a stand coupled with the base pan and passing through a hollow of the elastic member, and a stopper installed on the stand, for preventing the elastic member from being escaped from the base pan,
• wherein the elastic member comprises a body having a hollow passing through a central portion in an axial direction and a plurality grooves enclosing an inner surface and outer surface thereof to have a vertical section in a zigzag, a projection of an upper portion of the body whose horizontal sectional area is less than the horizontal sectional area of the body, and a base being a lower portion of the body.
