Problems solved by technology

[0021] However, the initial value of the piston is an element that determines the maximum cooling capacity. If the initial value is reduced, the friction area per unit time between the cylinder and the piston decreases when the operating frequency is the same, thereby reducing the loss caused by friction and improving efficiency. But at the same time, it is not easy to cope with overload due to the reduced maximum cooling capacity
[0022] In addition, if the initial value of the piston is moved to the opposite side of the compression space side, although the maximum cooling capacity of the compressor can be increased, the movement distance of the piston (the distance between the upper dead center and the lower dead center) increases, causing the cylinder Increased losses due to friction between barrel and piston and reduced efficiency

Abstract

An apparatus and method for controlling a linear compressor and a linear compressor and a refrigerator having the same are provided. The apparatus may include a drive configured to drive the linear compressor based on a control signal, a detector configured to detect a motor current of the linear compressor, an asymmetric current generator configured to generate an asymmetric motor current by applying a current offset to the detected motor current, and a controller configured to generate the control signal based on the asymmetric motor current. The current offset may be changed based on a change in a position of a piston of the linear compressor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a linear compressor control device and a control method. Background technique [0002] A compressor (compressor) is usually a mechanical device that increases pressure by compressing refrigerant or other working gases, and is widely used in refrigerators and air conditioners. [0003] Compressors can be divided into reciprocating compressors (Reciprocating Compressor), rotary compressors (Rotary Compressor), and scroll compressors (Scroll Compressor). The reciprocating compressor forms a compression space between the piston and the cylinder for sucking and discharging the working gas, and the piston performs linear reciprocating motion inside the cylinder to compress the refrigerant. In the rotary compressor, a compression space for sucking or discharging working gas is formed between an eccentrically rotating roller and a cylinder, and the rotor eccentrically rotates along the inner wall of the cylinder to compress the refrig...
