Abstract

There is provided a compressor fixing structure capable of preventing vibrations from a compressor from being spread to the entirety of a product in which the compressor is installed. The compressor fixing structure includes: a plurality of support units disposed to have a polygonal structure and protruded from a bottom surface; a support unit anti-vibration rib protruded from a perimeter of each of the plurality of support units; and an outer anti-vibration rib surrounding the entirety of the plurality of support units and protruded from a bottom surface. Spreading of vibrations from a compressor installed in a product is minimized, reducing vibrations and noise generated by the compressor when the compressor is driven.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A compressor fixing structure comprising:
a plurality of support units disposed to have a polygonal structure and protruded from a bottom surface;
a support unit anti-vibration rib protruded from a perimeter of each of the plurality of support units;
an outer anti-vibration rib surrounding the entirety of the plurality of support units and protruded from the bottom surface; and
inner anti-vibration ribs protruded from an inner bottom surface of the outer anti-vibration rib.

2. The compressor fixing structure of claim 1 , wherein the polygonal structure formed by the plurality of support units has an equilateral triangular shape or a square shape.

3. The compressor fixing structure of claim 1 , wherein the inner anti-vibration ribs include a connection anti-vibration rib connecting adjacent support units among the plurality of support units.

4. The compressor fixing structure of claim 1 , wherein the inner anti-vibration ribs include an intersection anti-vibration rib traversing a polygon formed by the plurality of support units from each of the plurality of support units.

5. The compressor fixing structure of claim 1 , wherein the inner anti-vibration ribs include a circular anti-vibration rib having a radius shorter than a distance from the center of gravity of a polygon formed by the plurality of support units to each of the plurality of support units, when the center of gravity is the center.

6. The compressor fixing structure of claim 4 , wherein the intersection anti-vibration rib passes through the center of gravity of the polygon formed by the plurality of support units and extends to be connected to the outer anti-vibration rib.

7. The compressor fixing structure of claim 1 , wherein the inner anti-vibration ribs comprises:
a connection anti-vibration rib connecting adjacent support units among the plurality of support units; and
a circular anti-vibration rib having a radius shorter than a distance from the center of gravity of a polygon formed by the plurality of support units to each of the plurality of support units, when the center of gravity of the polygon is the center of the circular anti-vibration rib, and
wherein the circular anti-vibration rib is in contact with the connection anti-vibration rib.

8. The compressor fixing structure of claim 1 , wherein the outer anti-vibration rib is higher than the inner anti-vibration ribs.

9. A compressor fixing structure, comprising:
a plurality of support units disposed to have a polygonal structure and protruded from a bottom surface;
a support unit anti-vibration rib protruded from a perimeter of each of the plurality of support units;
an outer anti-vibration rib surrounding the entirety of the plurality of support units and protruded from the bottom surface; and
a perimeter anti-vibration rib formed along the perimeter of the compressor fixing structure.
