Abstract
The present invention refers to the arrangement of components comprised in a linear compressor (1), which is fundamentally composed by at least one resonant oscillating mechanism comprising at least one resonant spring (2) which defines at least one neutral point (21), at least one magnet (3) and at least one piston (4); at least one intermediate element (5) which defines an axially flexible surface (51); at least one flat spring (6) which defines at least one binding structure (62); at least one shell (7); and at least one attaching means (8).
Claims4
An arrangement of components of a linear compressor (1), wherein said linear compressor is fundamentally composed by at least one resonant oscillating mechanism comprising at least one resonant spring (2) which defines at least one attaching region of neutral point (21), at least one magnet (3) and at least one piston (4);
- at least one intermediate element (5) which defines an axially flexible surface (51);
- at least one flat spring (6) which defines at least one binding structure (62);
- at least one shell (7);
- and at least one attaching means (8);
- said arrangement of components of a linear compressor, characterized in that:
- at least one axially flexible surface (51) of the intermediate element (5) is physically attached to at least one region of the neutral point (21) of the resonant spring (2) by means of an attaching means (8);
- at least one flat spring (6) is mechanically attached to at least one of the ends (52) of the intermediate element (5);
- at least one axially flexible surface (51) of the intermediate element (5) is aligned, in a radial way, with at least one attaching region of the neutral point (21) of the resonant spring (2);
- and
- at least one binding structure (62) of at least one flat spring (6) is axially aligned with at least one attaching means (8).
