CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. .sctn.119 to Korean Patent Application No. 2005-0054738, filed Jun. 24, 2005, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to a cylinder assembly for a compressor, and an assembly method therefor. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cylinder assembly for a compressor in which a cylinder block, valve device, and cylinder head of the cylinder assembly can be easily assembled while achieving a simplified configuration of the cylinder assembly. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] Generally, a compressor is employed in a refrigeration cycle of a refrigerator, air conditioner, or the like to compress refrigerant. The compressor includes a compression unit to perform a refrigerant compression operation, and a drive unit to provide a drive force required for the compression of refrigerant. Generally, both the compression and drive units are arranged in a hermetic container forming the outer appearance of the compressor. An example of the cylinder assembly for a compressor is described in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2004-0035492. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-identified problems. It is an aspect of the invention to provide a cylinder assembly for a compressor which can be assembled easily while achieving a simplified configuration, and an assembling method thereof. [0007] To this end, a non-limiting aspect of the present invention provides a method for assembling a cylinder assembly for a compressor including a cylinder block having a compression chamber defined therein, a cylinder head coupled to the cylinder block to seal the compression chamber, and a valve device interposed between the cylinder block and the cylinder head to control inflow and outflow of refrigerant into and out of the compression chamber, the method including: supporting the cylinder block on an assembling jig, which is formed with a plurality of guide pins, such that the plurality of guide pins extend outward from the cylinder block; aligning the valve device and the cylinder head with the cylinder block by fastening the plurality of guide pins through valve guide holes perforated through the valve device and head guide recesses formed at a surface of the cylinder head; fixing the cylinder assembly such that the cylinder block, valve device, and cylinder head do not separate from each other; and removing the assembling jig from the cylinder assembly. [0008] Yet another aspect of the present invention provides a cylinder assembly for a compressor, including: a cylinder block having a compression chamber defined therein; a cylinder head coupled to the cylinder block and configured to seal the compression chamber; and a valve device interposed between the cylinder block and the cylinder head and configured to control the inflow and outflow of refrigerant into and out of the compression chamber, wherein the valve device and the cylinder head are positioned to be aligned with the cylinder block when the cylinder block is supported on an assembling jig, and wherein a plurality of block guide holes and a plurality of valve guide holes are perforated through a portion of the cylinder block and the valve device, respectively, to allow guide pins to be fastened therethrough, and wherein a plurality of head guide recesses are formed at a surface of the cylinder head to be coupled to the valve device. [0009] Another aspect of the invention provides a method for assembling a cylinder assembly, the method including: fastening at least one guide pin through at least one guide hole provided at a cylinder block; aligning at least one of a valve device and a cylinder head with the cylinder block by fastening at least one guide pin through at least one guide portion provided at each of the valve device and the cylinder head; securing the cylinder block to at least one of the valve device and the cylinder head; and removing the at least one guide pin. [0010] Additional aspects and/or advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0011] These and/or other aspects and advantages of the exemplary embodiments of the invention will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, of which: [0012] FIG. 1 is a sectional view schematically showing a non-limiting configuration of a compressor consistent with the present invention; [0013] FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a non-limiting configuration of a cylinder assembly included in the compressor consistent with the present invention; [0014] FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a non-limiting example of an assembling jig that may be used to assemble the cylinder assembly for the compressor consistent with the present invention; [0015] FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing a non-limiting example of a cylinder block of the cylinder assembly for the compressor consistent with the present invention; [0016] FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing non-limiting examples of a valve device and a cylinder head of the cylinder assembly for the compressor consistent with the present invention; [0017] FIG. 6 is a sectional view showing exemplary fasteners used to inter-couple the respective parts of the cylinder assembly for the compressor consistent with the present invention; and [0018] FIG. 7 is a sectional view showing a non-limiting example of the completely assembled cylinder assembly for the compressor consistent with the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS [0019] Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. The embodiments are described below to explain the present invention by referring to the figures. Continue reading about Cylinder assembly for compressor and assembling method thereof...
