Reciprocating Compressor and Process for Mounting Hermetically Sealed Housing of Reciprocating Compressor

Abstract

The present invention belongs to the technological field of structural components of hermetically sealed compressors. Problem to be resolved: Currently, reciprocating compressors include protective plates which, welded to the outer side of their hermetically sealed carcasses, have small functional dimensions, which ultimately limit the size of electrical or electronic circuits to be fixed on the said protective plates. Problem Resolution: It is disclosed a reciprocating compressor, whose protective plate is conformed by at least one first plate segment and at least one second plate segment, wherein firstly it occurs the fixation of the first plate segment on the base of the hermetically sealed housing of the reciprocating compressor, subsequently, the lid is fixed on the base in order to form the hermetically sealed housing and, finally, the second plate segment is fixed on the first plate segment.

1 . Reciprocating compressor, comprising:
 a compression mechanism and a triggering system of the compression mechanism;   a hermetically sealed housing conformed by a lid and a base which is capable of fixing each other;   at least one protective plate for at least one electric or electronic circuit;   the reciprocating compressor being specially characterized by the fact that:   the said protective plate is conformed by at least one first plate segment and a second plate segment,   the said first plate segment being fixed, in a definitively manner, to a part of the outer side of the base of the hermetically sealed housing by fixing means; and   the second plate segment being fixed to the said first plate segment by fixing means.   
     
     
         2 . Reciprocating compressor, according to  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the fixing means used for fixation between the first plate segment and the outer face of the base of the hermetically sealed housing comprise loose points made between the first plate segment and parts of the outer side of the base of the hermetically sealed housing. 
     
     
         3 . Reciprocating compressor, according to  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the fixing means between the second plate segment and the first plate segment comprise definitive fixing means. 
     
     
         4 . Reciprocating compressor, according to  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the fixing means between the second plate segment and the first plate segment comprise selective fixation means. 
     
     
         5 . Reciprocating compressor, according to  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that it further comprises at least one mounting guide between the first plate segment and the second plate segment. 
     
     
         6 . Process for mounting hermetically sealed housing of reciprocating compressor, characterized by the fact that it includes, at least, the following steps of fixation of components:
 (A) fixing the first plate segment on the base;   (B) fixing the lid on the base so as to conform the hermetically sealed housing; and   (C) fixing the second plate segment on the first plate segment.
