Abstract:
A linear compressor comprising a hermetic vessel having a compressing mechanism portion and a linear motor therein, wherein said compressing mechanism portion comprises a cylinder and a piston which reciprocates in the cylinder, said linear motor comprises a moving member which provides said piston with reciprocating driving force and a stator which is fixed to said cylinder and which forms a reciprocation path for said moving member, said compressing mechanism portion and said linear motor are classified into a piston-side mechanism member and a cylinder-side mechanism member, said piston-side mechanism member includes said piston and said moving member which is movable together with said piston, said cylinder-side mechanism member includes said cylinder and said stator being connected to said cylinder, said cylinder-side mechanism member is elastically supported at opposite ends in said hermetic vessel by a first elastic means and a reciprocating force in the axial direction is given to said piston-side mechanism member by a second elastic means whose one end is supported by said hermetic vessel.
