Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention relates to a linear compressor, and more particularly, to a linear compressor having an elastic body to prevent a shell from being vibrated due to a motion of a moving part.
  • BACKGROUND ART
  • In general, a compressor is a mechanical apparatus that receives power from a power generation apparatus such as an electric motor or a turbine and compresses air, refrigerant or various operation gases to raise a pressure. The compressor has been widely used in an electric home appliance such as a refrigerator and an air conditioner, or in the whole industry.
  • The compressor is roughly classified into a reciprocating compressor wherein a compression space to/from which an operation gas is sucked and discharged is defined between a piston and a cylinder, and the piston reciprocates linearly inside the cylinder to compress refrigerant, a rotary compressor wherein a compression space to/from which an operation gas is sucked and discharged is defined between an eccentrially-rotating roller and a cylinder, and the roller rotates eccentrically along an inner wall of the cylinder to compress refrigerant, and a scroll compressor wherein a compression space to/from which an operation gas is sucked and discharged is defined between an orbiting scroll and a fixed scroll, and the orbiting scroll rotates along the fixed scroll to compress refrigerant.
  • Recently, a linear compressor has been actively developed among the reciprocating compressors. As a piston is coupled directly to a linearly-reciprocating driving motor, the linear compressor can improve the compression efficiency and simplify the configuration without a mechanical loss caused by the motion conversion.
  • Normally, in the linear compressor, the piston is reciprocated linearly inside a cylinder by a linear motor in a hermetic shell so as to suck, compress and discharge refrigerant. In the linear motor, a permanent magnet is positioned between an inner stator and an outer stator so that the permanent magnet can be driven to reciprocate linearly due to a mutual electromagnetic force. As the permanent magnet is driven in a state where it is coupled to the piston, the piston is reciprocated linearly inside the cylinder to sick, compress and discharge the refrigerant.
  • Here, while the piston is intendedly reciprocated linearly by driving of the motor, the other components in the shell except an elastic body do not perform an intended motion. Accordingly, hereinafter, the piston and components coupled to the piston to reciprocate linearly with the piston are referred to as a moving part, and components except the moving part are referred to as a stationary part. The stationary part and the moving part are coupled to the shell inside the shell by means of the elastic body. Hereinafter, a vibration system of the linear compressor will be explained as a simple configuration of the shell, the moving part, the stationary part and the elastic body.
  • In the linear compressor, the stationary part is displaced due to a motion of the moving part, and a force is transferred to the shell coupled to the stationary part by the elastic body, so that the shell vibrates. The vibration of the shell is disadvantageous because it degrades the stability of the linear compressor and muses noise.
  • FIG. 1 is a view illustrating one example of a conventional vertical linear compressor. A moving part and a stationary part, the stationary part and a shell, and the moving part and the shell are coupled by means of elastic bodies. When the moving part is driven by a motor, three elastic bodies are displaced at the same time. Here, a first elastic body 20 and a second elastic body 21 satisfy the following relation:
  • M b M a = k a k b Formula ( 1 )
  • Here, Ma represents a mass of the moving part including a piston 1, an actuator 4 and a magnet member 5, and Mb represents a mass of the stationary part including a cylinder 2, a cylinder block 2 a and a cylinder head 3.
  • In addition, a third elastic body 22 included in the linear compressor is a member improving the efficiency of the linear compressor by coupling the moving part to the stationary part and resonating the moving part during an operation. However, in a state where the first elastic body 20 and the second elastic body 21 satisfy Formula (1), kc must be a negative number so that the third elastic body 22 can satisfy a resonance condition. It is thus impossible to use a mechanical spring which is the most widely-used and easily-controllable elastic body.

  • MODE FOR THE INVENTION
  • Hereinafter, a linear compressor according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic view illustrating a vibration system of a linear compressor according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • The vibration system of the linear compressor includes a shell 11, a moving part 12, a stationary part 13, a first elastic body 14, second elastic bodies 15 and 16, and a third elastic body 17. Variables used to interpret the vibration system include a displacement xa of the moving part 12, a displacement xb of the stationary part 13, a mass Ma of the moving part 12, a mass Mb of the stationary part 13, an spring constant ka of the first elastic body 14, an spring constant 0.5·kb of each second elastic body 15 and 16, an spring constant kc of the third elastic body 17, motor parameters L, R, α and V, a motor output Fm, a force Fa applied to the moving part 12 by the first elastic body 14, a force 0.5·Fb applied to the stationary part 13 by each second elastic body 15 and 16, an absolute coordinate system N, and each unit vector {right arrow over (i)} and {right arrow over (j)}. Here, the spring constant kc of the third elastic body 17 is a value computed in consideration of an elasticity of a fluid generated when the fluid is compressed due to a motion of the moving part 12. That is, for convenience's sake, a sum of the spring constant of the third elastic body 17 and the spring constant generated due to the compression of the fluid is expressed as the spring constant kc.
  • The shell 11 has a resonance frequency much higher than an operating frequency. Therefore, the vibration system is interpreted on the assumption that the shell 11 is a rigid body. Moreover, in order to interpret a system of the moving part 12, the stationary part 13 and a current, generalized coordinates xa(t), xb(t) and q(t) are necessary.
  • First of all, kinetic energy T of the vibration system using the above variables is represented by the following formula:
  • T = M a 2 x . a 2 + M b x . b 2 + L 2 q . 2
  • In addition, elastic energy V is represented by the following formula:
  • V = k a 2 x a 2 + k c 2 ( x b - x a ) 2 + k b 2 x b 2
  • Moreover, damping energy R is represented by the following formula:
  • R = R 2 q . 2
  • Further, a virtual work δW is represented by the following formula:

  • δW=α·{dot over (q)}·(δx a −δx b)−α({dot over (x)} a −{dot over (x)} bq
  • Furthermore, Lagrange equation of the vibration system is represented by the following formula:
  • t ( T p . i ) - T p i + V p i + R p . i = Q i Q i = W x i
  • Each of the energy formulae T, V, R and δW induced above is substituted in Lagrange equation as follows:

  • M a {umlaut over (x)} a+(k a +k cx a −k c ·x b =α{dot over (q)}(=F m)   Formula (2)

  • M b {umlaut over (x)} b −k c ·x a+(k b +k cx b =−α{dot over (q)}(=−F m)   Formula (3)

  • L{umlaut over (q)}+R{dot over (q)}+α({dot over (x)} a −{dot over (x)} b)=V   Formula (4)
  • The above Formulae (2) and (3) are expressed as the following determinant:
  • [ M a 0 0 M b ] { x ¨ a x ¨ b } + [ k a + k c - k c - k c k c + k b ] { x a x b } = { F m - F m } Formula ( 5 )
  • The transient source Fm satisfies Fm=F0ejwt which is a harmonic function. Therefore, the displacements xa and xb of the moving part 12 and the stationary part 13 are expressed as harmonic functions xa=Xa0eiwt and xb=Xb0eiwt, respectively. The displacements expressed as the harmonic functions can be substituted in Formulae (2) and (3) as follows:
  • [ k a + k c - M a · ω 2 - k c - k c k c + k b - M b · ω 2 ] { X a 0 X b 0 } = { F 0 - F 0 } Formula ( 6 )
  • Xa0 and Xb0 can be represented by the following formula:
  • { X a 0 X b 0 } = [ k a + k c - M a · ω 2 - k c - k c k c + k b - M b · ω 2 ] - 1 · { F 0 - F 0 } = F 0 D · [ k a + k c - M a · ω 2 - k c - k c k c + k b - M b · ω 2 ] · { 1 - 1 } = F 0 D { k b - M b · ω 2 - k b + M b · ω 2 } Formula ( 7 )
  • Here, D=(ka+kc−ma·ω2)·(kb+kc−mb·ω2)−kc 2.
  • The sum Fs of the transfer forces operating on the shell 11 is represented by the following formula:

  • F s=(k a ·X a0 +k b ·X b0e jwt   Formula (8)
  • The relation of Formula (7) is substituted in Formula (8) as follows:
  • F s = ( k a · F 0 D ( k b - M b · ω 2 ) + k b · F 0 D ( - k a + M a · ω 2 ) ) · j wt = F 0 D ( - k a · M b + k b · M a ) · ω 2 · j wt ) = F 0 · w 2 · ( - k a · M b + k b · M a ) ( k a + k c - M a ω 2 ) ( k b + k c - M b ω 2 ) - k c 2 j wt Formula ( 9 )
  • When the force transferred to the shell 11 is offset so that a net force can be zero, vibration of the shell 11 can be reduced. A numerator must be zero in Formula (9) so that the sum Fs of the transfer forces can be zero. As F0 and ω always have values over zero during the operation of the linear compressor, (−ka·Mb+kb·ma) must be zero. Therefore, in order to offset the transfer force of the shell 11 and reduce vibration, the mass Ma of the moving part 12, the mass Mb of the stationary part 13, the spring constant ka of the first elastic body 14 and the spring constant kb of the second elastic bodies 15 and 16 must satisfy the following condition:
  • k b k a = M b M a Formula ( 10 )
  • Moreover, in the linear compressor according to one embodiment of the present invention, the third elastic body 17 must have a sufficient spring constant to make the moving part 12 resonate. When the transient source Fm is zero in Formulae (2) and (3), the spring constant kc of the third elastic body 17 can be expressed as the following determinant:
  • [ M a 0 0 M b ] { x ¨ a x ¨ b } + [ k a + k c - k c - k c k c + k b ] { x a x b } = { 0 0 }
  • That is, when Relation

  • {x}={X}eiwt
  • is used in the form of

  • [M]{{umlaut over (x)}}+[K]{x}={0},
  • the following formula is established:
  • [ k a + k c - M a · ω 2 - k c - k c k a + k c - M b · ω 2 ] { X } = { 0 }
  • Here, a determinant of Matrix [A] must be zero so that Equation [A]{X}={0} can have a feasible solution.
  • Accordingly, a determinant of [K] is expressed as

  • (k a +k c −M a·ω2)·(k c +k b −M b·ω2)−k c 2=0
  • and kc is represented by the following formula:
  • k c = - ( k a - M a · ω 2 ) · ( k b - M b · ω 2 ) ( k a - M a · ω 2 ) + ( k b - M b · ω 2 ) = M a M a + M b ( M a ω 2 - k a ) Formula ( 11 )
  • When kc is a positive number, the third elastic body 17 can be implemented with a general mechanical elastic body such as a helical spring. Therefore, when a condition of kc>0 is substituted,
  • ω 2 > k a M a
  • must be satisfied. In addition, in consideration of the resonance condition of the moving part 12, the frequency ω must be a resonance frequency ωcr of the moving part 12.
  • The vibration system of the linear compressor was simulated on the basis of the above conditions. It was assumed in the vibration system of the linear compressor that the mass Ma of the moving part 12 was 0.6 kg and the mass Mb of the stationary part 13 was 5.0 kg. Here, when the spring constant ka of the first elastic body 14 was 1440 N/m, the sum kb of the elastic moduli of the second elastic bodies 15 and 16 satisfying Formula (10) was 1440*(5.0/0.6), namely, 12000 N/m.
  • When kc satisfying Formula (11) was computed in the above conditions, kc was a positive number, so that the third elastic body 17 could be implemented with an easily-controllable and realizable mechanical spring. In case of a conventional vertical linear compressor, as an spring mutant of a third elastic body satisfying a resonance condition is a negative number, the third elastic body can not be implemented with a mechanical spring. The present invention overcomes sixth a disadvantage of the prior art.
  • FIG. 4 is a graph showing a simulation result of ka and kb satisfying Formula (7). In Table 1, ka and kb are computed respectively so that the transfer force Fs transferred to the shell 11 can be zero.
  • TABLE 1
    Case ka[N/m] kb[N/m]
    1 960 8,000
    2 1,2000 10,000
    3 1,440 12,000
    4 1,560 14,000
  • Here, an operating condition is M-K resonance condition, and an operating frequency of the moving part 12 is 50 Hz, thereby computing kc. kc can be computed in consideration of an elasticity of a fluid generated when the fluid is compressed due to the motion of the moving part 12. Moreover, a peak is restricted by the motor parameter α.
  • Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, it is understood that the present invention should not be limited to these preferred embodiments but various changes and modifications can be made by one skilled in the art within the spirit and scope of the present invention as hereinafter claimed.
