Disclosed is a valve plate structure comprising: a suction valve for inhaling
a low pressure of coolant through a linear reciprocating movement of a piston and
an opening and closing operation in response to the back-and-forth movement; a
valve plate coupled with the suction valve, and including a suction port for inducing
the low pressure of coolant through the piston movement, a discharging port for
discharging a high pressure of coolant through piston movement and a groove section
having a plurality of cavities provided to surround the outside of the suction
port or the discharging port; a discharging valve coupled with the valve plate
for discharging the high pressure coolant through the back-and-forth movement of
the piston and the opening/shutting operation in response to the back-and-forth
movement; and a head cover coupled with the discharging valve, and including a
suction tube formed at a position corresponding to the suction port of the valve
plate and a discharging tube formed at a position corresponding to the discharge
port of the valve plate. The grooves formed of the plurality of cavities can damp
vibration and noise having wide bands of frequency and amplitude generated from
collision between the valve plate and the suction and discharging valves.
