Patent ID: 6875000

Claim:
A reciprocating compressor comprising: a closed container in which a suction pipe and a discharge pipe communicate with each other; a reciprocating motor having a stator which consists of an inner stator and an outer stator fixed with a predetermined air gap inside the closed container and an armature disposed in the air gap between the two stators and making a reciprocal movement; a compression unit having a piston combined with the armature of the reciprocating motor to make a reciprocal movement along with the armature and a cylinder fixed inside the closed container into which the piston is slidably inserted to form a compressive space; a spring unit elastically supporting the armature of the reciprocating motor in a movement direction and inducing a resonance; and a frame unit supporting the reciprocating motor and the compression unit and having a gas hole at a suitable portion thereof to reduce gas flow resistance to movement of the armature, wherein the frame unit comprises at least one frame having a contact portion being supportedly contacted with the inner stator and the outer stator of the reciprocating motor, and the gas hole is formed at the frame having the contact portion.
