Abstract
A reciprocating compressor and a method of manufacturing a reciprocating compressor. The reciprocating compressor may include a discharge muffler forming a discharge chamber in which refrigerant compressed in a compression chamber flows and a discharge hose that extends from the discharge muffler to guide discharge of the refrigerant and coupled to the discharge pipe. At least a portion of the discharge muffler and the discharge hose are integrally formed using injection molding.
Claims20
A reciprocating compressor, comprising:
- a shell provided with a discharge pipe;
- a cylinder provided inside of the shell and having a compression chamber;
- a discharge muffler having a discharge chamber in which refrigerant compressed in the compression chamber flows;
- and
- a discharge hose that extends from the discharge muffler to guide discharge of the refrigerant, the discharge hose being coupled to the discharge pipe, wherein at least one portion of the discharge muffler and the discharge hose are integrally formed using injection molding.
A method of manufacturing a reciprocating compressor, the method comprising:
- forming an assembly portion configuring a discharge muffler using a mold;
- injecting gas into the mold to implement shapes of inner circumferential surfaces of a discharge hose and a connector;
- and
- assembling a discharge pipe to the connector.
