- As shown in
FIG. 1 , the conventional compressor comprises: acasing 10 to which asuction pipe 12 and adischarge pipe 14 are respectively connected; areciprocating motor 30 disposed in thecasing 10, for generating a driving force; acompressing unit 40 for sucking, compressing, and discharging gas by a driving force of the reciprocatingmotor 30; aspring unit 50 for inducing a resonant motion to a reciprocation of the reciprocatingmotor 30; and aframe unit 20 for respectively supporting the reciprocatingmotor 30, thecompressing unit 40, and thespring unit 50. - The
reciprocating motor 30 includes: anouter stator 31; aninner stator 32 disposed to maintain a certain air gap with an inner circumference of theouter stator 31; amagnet 34 disposed between theouter stator 31 and theinner stator 32; and amagnet holder 33 connected to themagnet 34 and reciprocated by an electromagnetic reciprocation between the outer/inner stators 31/32 and themagnet 34. - The
compressing unit 40 includes: acylinder 41 having an inner space therein; a piston 42 disposed in thecylinder 41, having a gas suction path F, and reciprocated by being connected to themagnet holder 33 of the reciprocatingmotor 30, for varying a volume of a compressing space P inside thecylinder 41; a suction valve 43 mounted at a front side of the piston 42 and operated by a pressure inside the compressing space P, for opening and closing a gas inlet; adischarge valve 44 installed at a front side of thecylinder 41, for opening and closing a gas outlet; avalve spring 45 for elastically supporting thedischarge valve 44; and adischarge cover 46 communicated to thedischarge pipe 14 through a guidingpipe 16, for covering the discharge side of thecylinder 41 by receiving thedischarge valve 44 and thevalve spring 45 therein. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thedischarge cover 46 includes: aninner cover 48 mounted at the front side of thecylinder 41 thus to provide a first discharge chamber S1 therein and having a plurality ofdischarge holes 47 at a circumference thereof; and anouter cover 49 mounted at an outer side of theinner cover 48 thus to provide a second discharge chamber S2 therein and connected to the guidingpipe 16. - The
frame unit 20 includes: afirst frame 21 mounted at the front side of the reciprocatingmotor 30 and thecylinder 41; asecond frame 22 connected to thefirst frame 21, for supporting thereciprocating motor 30 with thefirst frame 21; and athird frame 23 connected to thesecond frame 22, for supporting thespring unit 50 with thesecond frame 22. - The
spring unit 50 is composed of afront spring 51 disposed between a connection portion where themagnet holder 33 and the piston 42 are coupled with each other and thefirst frame 21; and arear spring 52 disposed between the connection portion and thethird frame 23. Thespring unit 50 induces a resonant motion to a linear reciprocation of the piston 42 and themagnet holder 33. - In the conventional compressor, when a power is applied to the
outer stator 31 of thereciprocating motor 30, themagnet holder 33 reciprocates by an electromagnetic interaction among theouter stator 31, theinner stator 32, and themagnet 34. According to this, the piston 42 connected to themagnet holder 33 reciprocates in thecylinder 41 thus to change a volume of the compressing space P.

Since the resonant motion is induced to the linear motion of the piston 42 by the front andrear springs - However, in the conventional compressor, vibration and noise are generated by a pressure of discharged gas. Also, high frequency vibration and noise are generated accordingly as the
discharge valve 44 collides with the front end surface of thecylinder 41. The high frequency vibration is attenuated by the guidingpipe 16 in some degree. However, a part of the high frequency vibration is not attenuated but is transmitted to thecasing 10 through thedischarge pipe 14 thus to cause vibration and noise of the entire system of the compressor. - Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a compressor capable of reducing vibration and noise due to discharge gas and enhancing a capability thereof by providing a vibration reducing apparatus for reducing vibration transmitted to a flow path through which compressed gas is discharged.

vibration absorbing chamber 172 is integrally formed with theouter cover 162 at the time of fabrication, or thevibration absorbing chamber 172 can be coupled to theouter cover 162 after being separately fabricated. - The
particles 174 are formed of minute steel, tungsten carbide, granite, sand, small plastic, or etc. Theparticles 174 are preferably formed as a spherical shape in order to effectively reduce the vibration of the guidingpipe 16. The plurality ofparticles 174 attenuate vibration generated at the time of the operation of the compressor such as vibration due to the gas discharge or vibration generated when the discharge valve collides to the cylinder, by colliding with the inner wall of thevibration absorbing chamber 172 and the guidingpipe 16 or by colliding with each other and thereby generating a friction. A large amount of theparticles 174 are preferably filled in thevibration absorbing chamber 172 in order to surround the outer circumference of the guidingpipe 16 and thereby to absorb vibration. - Operation and effect of the compressor according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be explained as follows. When a power is applied to the
outer stator 31 of thereciprocating motor 30, themagnet holder 33 is linearly reciprocated by an electromagnetic interaction among theouter stator 31, theinner stator 32 and themagnet 34. According to this, thepiston 120 connected to themagnet holder 33 is linearly reciprocated inside thecylinder 110 thus to vary the volume of the compressing space P. By the volume change of the compressing space P, gas is sucked into the compressing space P and compressed. The compressed gas is discharged into the first discharge chamber S1 of theinner cover 161 with pushing thedischarge valve 140. Then, the compressed gas is discharged to the second discharge chamber S2 of theouter cover 162 through thedischarge holes 163, and is discharged to outside of thecasing 10 through the guidingpipe 16 and thedischarge pipe 14. Said processes are repeated thus to compress gas. - When gas is discharged, the
discharge valve 140 is spaced from thecylinder 110 thus to be open and closed, thereby causing high frequency vibration due to a strong impact. The high frequency vibration is transmitted to the second discharge chamber S2 of theouter cover 162 through theinner cover 161, and then is transmitted to the guidingpipe 16. At this time, theparticles 174 surrounding the guidingpipe 16 are fluctuated by the high frequency vibration transmitted through the guidingpipe 16, and thus collide with the guidingpipe 16 or collide with each other, thereby attenuating the high frequency vibration. Also, while compressed gas passes through the first discharge chamber S1 and the second discharge chamber S2 provided at theinner cover 161 and theouter cover 162, the noise is effectively removed. - The compressor according to the first embodiment of the present invention is provided with the vibration reducing apparatus on the flow path through which compressed gas flows thus to prevent vibration generated by the gas discharge from being transmitted to the channel, thereby reducing vibration and noise of the compressor and enhancing the function of the compressor.
- Hereinafter, the compressor according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to
FIG. 6 . The same reference numerals were given to the same parts as those of the first embodiment, thereby omitting explanations. - In the compressor according to the second embodiment of the present invention, a
