PRIOR ART

Today's compressors are crankshaft compressors driven by an electric motor. Crankshaft compressors are high-speed cycle compressors consisting mainly of crankcase, crankshaft, connecting rod, cylinder, piston, suction and discharge valves. This causes a noisy operation, especially due to crankshaft motion. There are power losses due to the transmission of the electric motor movement to the compressor section. During air compression, the compression chamber and the crankshaft and pistons are heated by friction. Furthermore, electronic control is not possible due to the mechanical structure of the compressor parts other than the electric motor.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention is intended to make the compressors (especially the portable ones), which are widely used, quieter, more lightweight and more efficient by the designed method. For the system intended to make more controlled and monitorable compression operation; there is a broad usage area for the sectors that can use air, gas and liquid compression or filtration. To give a few examples of daily life; refrigerators, air conditioners, oxygen generators, painting equipment etc.

With this idea, instead of an electric motor and a crankshaft, a rotary compressor; a compressor is designed, in which motion is directly used and moves in linear motion, with few moving parts, causes less energy loss in transferring, lighter because of using less parts, with no balancing shifts causing from the crankshaft's rotational motion and no vibrations and being more silent because of this.

Invention is about a compressor for use in air, gas and liquid compression processes; by means of an electromagnet arrangement oppositely placed between the compression chambers, which completes the compression process by providing the compression pistons to move horizontally towards to the left and right compression chambers and runs in lined or swinging modes according to above mentioned mechanisms' positioning. Thanks to the opposing placement of the pistons; while compressing in one direction, air sucking is performed in the other. No separate periods are required to suck and compress the air. A piston compresses while the other piston sucks the air by itself at one period.

The linear motion electromagnetic compressor is designed as bipolar electromagnetic bearings. With the horizontal movement of the piston group in the magnetic field by the displacement of the electromagnetic field, the compression process is executed. The electronically controllable intensity and direction of the electromagnetic field ensures that the linear motion system is controlled as desired. By controlling the speed and amount of lateral movement on this side, full control over the compression process is ensured. The electronic control of the magnitude and direction of the electromagnetic field is achieved by increasing the frequency of the energy applied to the magnetic bearings when the required air flow is to be increased on a unit basis, thereby providing more rapid movement and more air processing. In order to regulate the amount of compression (pressure) in the same way, changing the intensity of the energy to be applied to the electromagnetic bearings controls the compression ratio by changing the force applied by the pistons. With this aspect of the design, the compression period, the size of the chamber and the quantity of air processed per unit time are easily maintained. The operation of the compressor and the synchronization of the electromagnetic fields are provided by a microprocessor based control circuit.

Lined and swing compressors are designed as 4 basic sections:

· Piston group (2 units)

• Compression group (2 units)

• Electromagnetic bearing group

• Electronic control circuit The piston group consists of two interconnected piston and piston bearings, which are moved by the electromagnetic bearing group. The compression group consists of two parts with double bearing, in which the pushed air by the piston group is compressed and the suction and discharge switches are made. The electromagnetic bearing group which is driven by the electronic control circuit and which creates the bipolar magnetic fields, makes the piston group move. The electronic control circuit is a unit that controls the speed, intensity and amount of movement, which provides the voltages required for the operation of the compressor, generates the electromagnetic fields in a controlled manner.

The piston group is designed as a single structure. In the middle of the pistons, there is an electromagnetic coil to provide piston movement. The whole structure is mounted so that it is firmly attached to each other. According to the type of compressor to be created (lined or swinging), the electromagnetic coils are positioned so as to form a singular or lined multiple magnetic field.

To create a linear motion swinging electromagnetic compressor; the movable electromagnetic coils (2) are placed on the piston rod (4) and at least two of the fixed electromagnetic coils (1 ) to be stationary are fixed in such a way to let the movement of the movable electromagnetic coils (2) placed on the piston rod (4) between the fixed electromagnetic coils (1 ). The movable electromagnetic coil (2) placed on the piston rod (4) moves together with the piston rod (4). Due to the magnetic field created by the applied voltage to the coils, the movable electromagnetic coil (2) and the fixed electromagnetic coil (1 ) of the piston group located between these coils, interact with each other and move according to the direction of the magnetic field. The direction and power of the movement is controlled by the direction, power and frequency of the voltage applied to the coils.

During air compression (Figure 3), the piston moves in the direction of the arrow and compresses air in the compression chamber (6) on the left side. When the compression reaches the end point, the poles are changed over the control circuit to make the movement towards to the right side. At that moment, the inverse pressure caused by the air trapped in the compression chamber (6) in the left side aids the electromagnetic field when the movement shifts in the other direction. By means of the compression timing and the voltage regulation, which allows the electromagnetic field to move in the opposite direction, is synchronized, during the periods of the movement from right to left and from left to right, the compression is supported to be stopped at the end and converted in the opposite direction.

In linear motion, swinging electromagnetic compressor mechanism; a synchronous voltage given in FIG. 1 1 is applied to the movable electromagnetic coil (2) placed on the piston rod (4) and to the fixed electromagnetic coils (1 ) in accordance with the timing via the electronic control circuit. With this voltage application the magnetic field is generated in the N-S-N or S-N-S arrangement. Thanks to the occurred magnetic field, the movable electromagnetic coil (2) interacts with the magnetic field on it and it moves according to the direction of the magnetic field. The piston rod (4) and the pistons (3) attached to the piston rod (4) are moved according the frequency and synchronization applied on the fixed electromagnetic coil (1 ) and the movable electromagnetic coil (2) via the electronic control unit (5). Thus, the motion described in Figures 3 and Figure 4 is formed and the air is compressed in the compression chamber (6) on the right side. At the same time, air is sucked from the compression chamber (6) on the left side and air is drawn into the piston chamber (5) on the left side. When compression is completed in one direction; the electronic control circuit changes the applied voltage structure so that it reverses the previous period and moves in the other direction. In this case; the movement created in the other direction pushes the piston (3) on the left side, opens the piston (3) on the right side. In the meantime, air is compressed in the compression chamber (6) on the left side. At the same time, air is sucked through the compression chamber (6) on the right side and air is drawn into the piston chamber (5) on the right side. This cycle is repeated and the compression process is continued.

In the linear moving, lined electromagnetic compressor system; there are at least two fixed electromagnetic coils (1 ) on the piston group as the main electromagnetic coils. Due to the voltage applied to these coils, a magnetic field is occurred and it interacts with the movable electromagnetic coils (2), which are called piston group and positioned in these coils, to move according to the direction of the magnetic field. The direction and power of movement are controlled by the direction, power and frequency of the voltage applied to the windings. The movable electromagnetic coils (2) are placed on the piston rod (4) in such a way that they can move freely within the fixed electromagnetic coils (1 ). Due to the hollow annular forms of the fixed electromagnetic coils (1 ), the movable electromagnetic coils (2) fixed on the piston rod (4) and shown in section A-A in Fig. 6 can move in two directions. At first, the voltage applied to the fixed electromagnetic coils (1 ) is applied so as to provide a movement of the movable electromagnetic coils (2) connected to the piston rod (4) to the left. Magnetic polarization occurs as in Fig. 9. The piston rod (4) slides to the left with the attraction force of the generated magnetic field. When the movable electromagnetic coils (2) change position due to the movement, the voltage applied to the fixed electromagnetic coils (1 ) is rearranged as shown in the voltage diagram in FIG. 12 so that the movable electromagnetic coils (2) connected to the piston rod (4) continue to move to the left. Thus, the shift to the left continues. This process continues until the end of the movement. Thus, a linear motion is obtained by providing movement by the lined magnetic field shift. The speed and direction of movement are controlled by the polarity and frequency of the applied voltage. The movable electromagnetic coils (2) on the piston rod (4) are supplied with the synchronous voltage synchronized with the fixed electromagnetic coils (1 ) via the electronic control circuit with proper timing. With this voltage application, the magnetic field is generated in the N-S-N or S-N-S arrangement. At the same time, the voltage which is synchronized with the timing of the electronic control circuit and synchronized with the movable electromagnetic coils (2) is applied to the fixed electromagnetic coils (1 ). With this external magnetic field formed, the magnetic field on the movable electromagnetic coils (2) interacts and moves according to the direction of the magnetic field. The pistons (3) connected to the piston rod (4) and the piston shaft (4) continue to move according to the frequency and synchronism of the voltage applied by the electronic control circuit to the fixed electromagnetic coils (1 ) and the movable electromagnetic coils (2). The movement created in one direction is maintained until the entire right piston chamber (5) is passed and the left piston chamber (5) is fully opened. At this time, the air is compressed in the air compression chamber (6) of the piston chamber (5) on the right side. At the same time, air is sucked through the compression chamber (6) on the left side and air is drawn into the piston chamber (5) on the left side. The electronic control circuit ensures that when the compression is completed in one direction, the applied voltage structure is changed that reverses the previous cycle and provides the motion to be in the other direction. In that situation, the movement created in the other direction is maintained until the entire left piston chamber (5) is passed and the right piston chamber (5) is fully opened. The air compression chamber (6) is also compressed in the piston chamber (5) on the left side. At the same time, air is sucked through the compression chamber (6) on the right side and air is drawn into the piston chamber (5) on the right side. Compression continues by the continuation of that cycle.
