Abstract
Abstract A vibrating compressor comprising an external iron core, a permanent magnet, an internal iron core, and an electrocmagnetic coil vibratably supported by a mechanical vibrating system in a magnetic gap between the two iron cores to drive a piston connected thereto; the permanent magnet being composed of a high residual (remanence) magnetic flux density magnet, as represented by an alnico magnet, and a high coercive force magnet, as represented by ferrite magnet, and disposed separately.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
A vibrating compressor having a cup-shaped external iron core comprising a bottom and an cylindrical part; a closing member closing the open end face of said external iron core cylindrical part; a permanent magnet disposed inside said external iron core; an internal iron core having a cylindrical magnetic pole for forming a magnetic path, together with said external iron core, with respect to said permanent magnet; and a driving coil vibratably supported by a mechanical vibrating system and disposed within an annular magnetic gap between said external iron core and said internal iron core; said driving coil driving a piston connected thereto when an alternating current is fed to said driving coil, and characterized in that said permanent magnet consists of a high residual magnetic flux density magnet, as represented by an alnico magnet, and a high coercive force magnet, as represented by a ferrite magnet; said high residual magnetic flux density magnet being disposed in between said bottom of said external iron core and said internal iron core; and said high coercive force magnet being disposed in between said cylindrical part of said external iron core and said internal iron core.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
192 words
A vibrating compressor having a cup-shaped external iron core comprising a bottom and an cylindrical part; a closing member closing the open end face of said external iron core cylindrical part; a permanent magnet disposed inside said external iron core; an internal iron core having a cylindrical magnetic pole for forming a magnetic path, together with said external iron core, with respect to said permanent magnet; and a driving coil vibratably supported by a mechanical vibrating system and disposed within an annular magnetic gap between said external iron core and said internal iron core; said driving coil driving a piston connected thereto when an alternating current is fed to said driving coil, and characterized in that said permanent magnet consists of a high residual magnetic flux density magnet, as represented by an alnico magnet, and a high coercive force magnet, as represented by a ferrite magnet; said high residual magnetic flux density magnet being disposed in between said bottom of said external iron core and said internal iron core; and said high coercive force magnet being disposed in between said cylindrical part of said external iron core and said internal iron core.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
121 words
A vibrating compressor set forth in claim (1) wherein said external iron core has a cylindrical part and a cup-shaped bottom which is in contact with one end face of said cylindrical part, whose inside diameter is smaller than the inside diameter of said cylindrical part, and a part of whose outside diameter is in contact with the inside surface of said cylindrical part; said permanent magnet facing said driving coil being disposed in such a manner that the outer circumferential surface of said permanent magnet is in contact with the inner circumferential surface of said cylindrical part without any air gap and one end face of said permanent magnet is in contact with the open end face of said bottom.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
104 words
A vibrating compressor set forth in claim (1) wherein both ends of a compressor proper comprising said permanent magnet, said cylindrical magnetic pole, said external iron core, said internal iron core and said driving coil have annular projections of a small diameter, and cushioning portions for engaging with said projections; said cushioning portions comprising a doughnut-shaped resilient piece, inner and outer cylindrical portions; said resilient piece being interposed between inner and outer cylindrical portions; said inner cylindrical portion being made of a wear-resistant material; said outer cylindrical portion being fixedly fitted to a housing; and said projection being guided into said inner cylindrical portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A vibrating compressor set forth in claim (3) wherein said wear-resistant material is plastic, and said resilient piece is made of rubber.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
69 words
A vibrating compressor set forth in claim (3) wherein the top part of said resilient piece is protruded from said inner and outer cylindrical portions; and a gap between the top surface of said resilient piece and the shoulder of a protruded portion of said compressor proper is smaller than a gap between the top surface of said protruded portion and the bottom part of said outer cylindrical portion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
39 words
A vibrating compressor set forth in claim (3) wherein said cushioning portion has a wave washer having an elastic coefficient smaller than the elastic coefficient of said resilient piece in between said resilient piece and said outer cylindrical portion.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
158 words
A vibrating compressor set forth in claim (1) wherein said external iron core has a mounting groove provided along the entire periphery of the inner circumferential surface of said external iron core cylindrical part at one end, a projection provided on said mounting groove, a mounting plate, made of a resilient material, formed into a ring-shaped disk with the part thereof being cut away, having a plurality of screw holes on said ring-shaped disk and positioning holes at locations close to both ends of said ring-shaped disk; said closing member is fixedly fitted to said one end of said external iron core by means of screws screwed into said screw holes on said mounting plate; and said mounting plate is held in position by forcing the entire outer circumferential surface of said mounting plate onto the bottom surface of said mounting groove by expanding said mounting plate outward and crimping said mounting plate by means of said projection.
