[0041] In order to solve the technical problems in the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid storage device. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the liquid reservoir comprises:

[0042] The cylinder 1 is an integral part formed by spinning, an air inlet 11 is formed at the first end of the cylinder 1, and a closed structure 12 is formed at the second end of the cylinder 1; at least one exhaust hole 13 is provided on the side wall of the cylinder 1;

[0043] An air intake pipe 2 , wherein the air intake pipe 2 is sealed and connected to the exhaust hole 13 and communicates with the cylinder 1 .

[0044] The cylinder is formed as an integral part by spinning, an air inlet is formed at the first end of the cylinder, and the second end of the cylinder is a closed structure, thereby eliminating the end cover in the original three-stage liquid reservoir, saving parts during assembly of the liquid reservoir and solder during welding of parts, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the liquid reservoir and reducing the cost of the liquid reservoir.

[0045] Please continue reading Figure 2 The liquid reservoir further comprises an air intake assembly, which is connected to the cylinder 1 through the air intake hole 11. The air intake assembly comprises an air intake pipe 3 and a pressing plate 4. When the air intake pipe 3 and the cylinder 1 are assembled, the air intake pipe 3 can be sleeved outside the air intake hole 11 or embedded in the air intake hole 11.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the air inlet pipe 3 and the pressure plate 4 are integrally formed structural parts. The pressure plate 4 and the air inlet pipe 3 are integrally formed into an air inlet assembly, and then the cylinder 1 is welded and connected to the air inlet assembly, which saves the number of parts during assembly, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces the cost of the liquid reservoir.

[0047] The material of the pressing plate 4 is stainless steel. The stainless steel pressing plate can improve the quality of the pressing plate, making it less likely to deform and scratch, reducing the quality problems of the liquid reservoir and reducing the cost of the liquid reservoir.

[0048] The exhaust hole 13 extends outwardly in a direction away from the barrel 1 to form a connecting pipe, and the length of the connecting pipe is greater than or equal to 3.5 mm. When the connecting pipe is fixed to the intake pipe 3 by welding, the portion where the connecting pipe and the intake pipe 3 are fixedly overlapped forms a connecting structure, and the length of the connecting structure is greater than or equal to 3 mm.

[0049] Furthermore, the liquid reservoir further comprises a filter assembly disposed in the cylinder 1. The filter assembly can be connected to the cylinder 1 by welding.

[0050] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a method for processing a liquid reservoir, which is used to prepare the liquid reservoir as described above. Figure 4 As shown, the method comprises the steps of:

[0051] S100: forming a cylinder 1 by a spinning machine, wherein an air inlet 11 is formed at a first end of the cylinder 1;

[0052] S200: The second end of the cylinder 1 is welded to form the closed structure 12; after the cylinder 1 is spun, two mounting holes are formed at the axial ends of the cylinder 1, that is, the two ends of the cavity of the cylinder 1 are connected to the external environment, wherein the mounting hole at the first end is the air inlet 11, and the mounting hole at the second end is welded to form the closed structure 12, so that the cylinder 1 forms a semi-closed cavity; the welding method is, for example, argon arc welding, laser welding, etc., and the specific welding method is not limited, as long as the second end of the cylinder 1 can be formed into a closed structure;

[0053] S300: forming at least one exhaust hole 13 on the side wall of the cylinder 1;

[0054] S400: Provide the same number of the air intake pipes 2 as the air exhaust holes 13, and seal the air intake pipes 2 to the air exhaust holes 13 and connect them to the cylinder 1.

[0055] Accordingly, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a compressor, comprising the above-mentioned liquid reservoir. The compressor can achieve all the technical effects of the above-mentioned liquid reservoir, which will not be described in detail here.

[0056] The liquid storage device, processing method thereof and compressor provided by the present invention have the following advantages:

[0057] The cylinder is formed into an integral piece by spinning, the first end of the cylinder forms an air inlet, and the second end of the cylinder is a closed structure, thereby eliminating the end cover in the original three-stage liquid reservoir, saving parts when assembling the liquid reservoir and solder when welding parts, improving the assembly efficiency of the liquid reservoir and reducing the cost of the liquid reservoir;

[0058] By integrally forming the pressure plate and the air intake pipe into an air intake assembly, and then welding and connecting with the cylinder, the number of parts can be saved, the assembly process can be reduced, the assembly efficiency can be improved, and the cost can be reduced;

[0059] By replacing the pressure plate material with wear-resistant, non-deformable stainless steel, the quality problem of the pressure plate can be reduced.
