Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of air compressors, and in particular to a quick and convenient drainage system for air compressors. Background Art

[0002] An air compressor is a device used to compress gas. Its construction is similar to that of a water pump. Most air compressors use a reciprocating piston, rotating vanes, or a rotating screw. Air compressors are equipped with a drain that requires regular drainage.

[0003] However, the existing drain device is relatively difficult to disassemble and install, which wastes labor costs. Therefore, we propose a quick and convenient air compressor drainage system to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a quick and convenient air compressor drainage system, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A quick and convenient air compressor drainage system includes: a water storage tank, a drain pipe and a drain plug. The water storage tank is the water storage mechanism of the air compressor. A drain pipe is provided on the left side of the water storage tank. A drain plug is slidably installed inside the drain pipe. Sealing grease is applied between the drain pipe and the drain plug to ensure sealing. A drain port is provided in the middle of the drain plug. The water flow in the water storage tank is discharged by overlapping the drain port and the drain pipe.

[0007] Two sets of sliding grooves are provided inside the drain pipe, and the sliding grooves are cylindrical structures. Sliding rods are slidably installed in the sliding grooves, and two sets of sliding rods are symmetrically installed on the outside of the limit grooves. The two sets of sliding rods slide in the sliding grooves to guide the displacement angle of the drain plug in the drain pipe, ensuring that the drain outlet is always facing downward to facilitate drainage.

[0008] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided inside the drain pipe, the limiting groove is a circular hole-shaped groove, and a limiting hole is provided inside the sliding rod.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting assembly is provided above the drain pipe, and the limiting assembly includes a limiting pin, which is slidably installed in the limiting groove. The limiting pin is inserted into the sliding rod to limit the position of the drain plug as a whole in the drain pipe.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting plate is provided on the upper part of the limit pin, and a reset spring is provided below the connecting plate. The lower end of the reset spring is fixedly installed on the upper part of the drain pipe. The reset spring is always in a stretched state, providing a vertical downward pulling force to ensure that the limit pin is inserted into the sliding rod and the limit slot through the downward pressure of the reset spring, thereby achieving stability in fixing the position of the drain plug.

[0011] Preferably, a protruding block is provided on the right side of the drain plug, and the protruding structure of the protruding block can limit the left extreme position of the drain plug in the drain pipe to prevent the drain plug from being taken out as a whole.

[0012] Preferably, a limit ring is provided on the left side of the drain plug. The limit ring is a circular protrusion, which limits the extreme position of the drain plug on the right side in the drain pipe to prevent the drain plug from being inserted too deeply during installation and falling into the water storage tank.

[0013] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided on the left side of the limiting ring, and the limiting groove provides a handle for the sliding of the drain plug in the drain pipe, which facilitates operation and improves practicality.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] When water needs to be discharged, the limit pin is pulled out through the connecting plate to release the position limit of the sliding rod in the sliding groove, the drain plug is pulled out to the left as a whole through the limit groove, and limited by the protruding block. By releasing the overlap of the drain outlet and the drain pipe position, the water in the water storage tank is discharged through the drain outlet. When drainage is completed, during installation, the connecting plate is pulled upward vertically to prevent the limit pin from interfering with the movement of the sliding rod, and the drain plug is pushed to the right as a whole through the limit groove, and limited by the limit ring, so that the drain outlet and the drain pipe position are overlapped to achieve sealing of the drain pipe and the drain plug, and the connecting plate is loosened. Under the action of the reset spring tension, the limit pin is inserted into the sliding rod to achieve the limitation of the position of the drain plug as a whole in the drain pipe. The operation is quick and convenient, reduces sealing grease and labor costs, and avoids the loss of related parts. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
