Abstract
Disclosed herein is a linear compressor wherein a vibration absorbing unit is mounted at the outside of a compressor shell, whereby the number of elements inside the shell is reduced, resulting in a reduced compressor size. Also, the vibration absorbing unit is enclosed by a protective cover to be protected from exterior shock or impurities, whereby damage or malfunction of elements is prevented, achieving improved durability and reliability of the compressor.
Claims20
A linear compressor comprising:
- a shell formed with an inlet port and an outlet port;
- a linear motor mounted in the shell and adapted to generate a linear movement force;
- a cylinder mounted in the shell;
- a piston connected to the linear motor and adapted to compress fluid while being linearly reciprocated in the cylinder;
- a vibration absorbing unit mounted at the outside of the shell to absorb vibration;
- and
- a protector mounted around the vibration absorbing unit to protect the vibration absorbing unit.
