Oil supply unit of linear compressor

An oil supply unit of a linear compressor comprising:

• a well-closed container filled with oil;
• a frame installed within the well-closed container;
• a cylinder fixed at the frame;
• a piston inserted in the cylinder and being linearly and reciprocally moved by a linear motor;
• an oil cylinder fixed at a low portion of the frame so as to be put in the oil filling the well-closed container, and being vibrated in the horizontal direction according to the reciprocal movement of the piston;
• an oil piston inserted in the oil cylinder is a manner of dividing the inside of the oil cylinder to a suction space and a discharge space that are communicated to each other, and being vibrated in the horizontal direction;
• an oil suction unit installed at an outer side of the oil cylinder;
• an oil discharge valve installed at the outer side of the discharging side of the oil cylinder;
• wherein the oil discharge unit includes an oil discharge valve for opening and closing the discharge side of the oil cylinder, and an oil discharge cover for forming an oil inlet passage covering the discharge side of the oil cylinder, and having the oil discharge valve inside thereof;
• and
• wherein the oil discharge valve is formed in a rectangular form, of which an upper end portion is fixed at the frame and a lower end portion thereof is rotatably positioned in the discharging side-direction of the oil cylinder.

• wherein an oil suction hole communicating with the suction side of the oil cylinder is formed at the oil suction cover, which is opened and closed by the oil suction valve;
• and
• wherein the oil suction cover is depressively formed in a rectangular form to have a volume unit in which the oil suction valve is inserted at its central portion, so that the outer surface except for the volume unit is tightly fixed at the compressive unit, a fixing protrusion is formed at the upper end portion of the volume unit to fix the upper end portion of the oil suction valve, and a mounting protrusion raised in a circular form is formed at the inner side of the oil suction hole, corresponding to the fixing protrusion.
