Abstract
A linear compressor is provided. The linear compressor may include a suction valve with a plurality of wings. Each of the plurality of wings may include two first edge portions that extend in an outer direction of a fixing portion, and a second edge portion forming an outer circumferential portion of the wing. A distance between a first edge portion of a first wing among the plurality of wings and a second edge portion of a second wing among the plurality of wings gradually increases toward the outer direction of the suction valve.
Claims20
A linear compressor, comprising:
- a piston having at least one suction hole through which a refrigerant is suctioned into a compression space;
- and
- a suction valve coupled to the piston to selectively open the at least one suction hole, wherein the suction valve includes a fixing portion having a valve coupling hole to which a valve coupling member is coupled and a plurality of wings that extends in an outer direction from the fixing portion, wherein each of the plurality of wings includes two first edge portions that extend from the fixing portion in the outer direction and a second edge portion forming an outer circumferential portion of the wing, and wherein a distance between a first edge portion of a first wing among the plurality of wings and a first edge portion of a second wing among the plurality of wings gradually increases toward the outer direction of the suction valve.
A linear compressor, comprising:
- a piston having a plurality of suction holes through which a refrigerant is suctioned into a compression space;
- and
- a suction valve coupled to the piston to selectively open the plurality of suction holes, wherein the suction valve includes a fixing portion at which the suction valve is coupled to the piston and a plurality of wings that extends in an outer direction from the fixing portion, wherein each of the plurality of wings includes two first edge portions that extend from the fixing portion in the outer direction and a second edge portion forming an outer circumferential portion of the wing, wherein a distance between a first edge portion of a first wing among the plurality of wings and a first edge portion of a second wing among the plurality of wings gradually increases toward the outer direction of the suction valve, and wherein each wing covers at least one of the plurality of suction holes.
