It is hereby stated that the directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, etc. that appear or will appear in the text of the present invention are only based on the accompanying drawings of the present invention, and are not specific limitations of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the dual-cooling integrated air compressor of the present invention includes a motor 1, a fan assembly 2, a plurality of cylinder head assemblies 3 and a plurality of cylinders 4; the motor 1 includes a motor 11 and a rotor shaft, the rotor shaft penetrates the motor 11 and extends along both sides of the motor 11, the motor 11 is arranged on the side of the cylinder 4, and the fan assembly 2 is arranged at both ends of the rotor shaft; the cylinder head assembly 3 is arranged at the top of the cylinder 4, the cylinder head assembly 3 is composed of an upper chamber 31 and a lower chamber 32, the upper chamber 31 is arranged at the top of the lower chamber 32, and the upper chamber 31 is used to inject cooling medium to take away the heat in the lower chamber 32; the cylinder 4 includes a valve plate valve assembly 41 and a connecting rod piston assembly 42, the valve plate valve assembly 41 is arranged at the top of the connecting rod piston assembly 42, the connecting rod piston assembly 42 is rotatably connected to the rotor shaft 12, and the valve plate valve assembly 41 and the connecting rod piston assembly 42 are used to compress air.

[0032] It should be noted that by setting the fan assembly 2 and the cylinder head assembly 3, the air compressor can be cooled by both air cooling and water cooling. By setting the fan assembly 2 at both ends of the rotor shaft 12, a flexible combination of multiple airflow directions can be used to select a suitable blowing method according to the installation position and space conditions of the air compressor. By setting the cylinder 4, the air entering from the lower chamber 32 can be compressed by the connecting rod piston assembly 42. By setting the cylinder head to be composed of the upper chamber 31 and the lower chamber 32 assembly, the heat in the lower chamber 32 can be taken away by injecting cooling medium into the upper chamber 31 when compressing the air. The air can be compressed by setting the valve plate valve assembly 41 and the connecting rod piston assembly 42.

[0033] See also Figure 2 The fan assembly 2 includes a first fan impeller 21 and a second fan impeller 22. The first fan impeller 21 and the second fan impeller 22 are respectively arranged at both ends of the rotor shaft 12. The assembly directions of the first fan impeller 21 and the second fan impeller 22 are opposite, so that air can be sent to the inside for cooling at both ends at the same time, hot air can be extracted to the outside, or air can be sent from one end and discharged from the other end for cooling, so as to select a suitable cooling method according to the fixed installation position and space of the air compressor.

[0034] See also Figure 5, the upper chamber 31 is provided with an "S"-shaped flow channel 311. The head end of the "S"-shaped flow channel 311 is provided with an inlet group 312, the tail end of the "S"-shaped flow channel 311 is provided with an outlet group 313, and a sealing groove 314 is arranged on the periphery of the "S"-shaped flow channel 311. The sealing groove 314 is combined with a cover plate 33 at the top of the cylinder head assembly to form a sealed chamber. By setting the flow channel as an "S" shape, the length of the flow channel in the upper chamber 31 can be maximized, and the path through which the cooling medium passes can be maximized, so as to maximize the cooling effect of the cooling medium.

[0035] Preferably, there are at least two cylinders 4. The number of cylinder head assemblies 3 is not less than the number of cylinders 4, and at least one cylinder head assembly 3 is provided on the top of each cylinder 4. By setting different numbers of cylinders, different usage scenarios can be satisfied, but in all cases, a cylinder head assembly needs to be provided on the top of the cylinder 4 to take away heat. In this embodiment, the number of cylinders 4 is two.

[0036] See Figure 6 , two adjacent upper chambers 31 are connected through a first three-way pipe 315 and a second three-way pipe 316. The first three-way pipe 315 is provided with a first interface 315a, a second interface 315b, and a third interface 315c. The first interface 315a and the second interface 315b are connected to the inlet groups 312 of two adjacent upper chambers 31, and the third interface 315c is used for inputting the cooling medium; the second three-way pipe 316 is provided with a fourth interface 316a, a fifth interface 316b, and a sixth interface 316c. The fourth interface 316a and the fifth interface 316b are connected to the outlet groups 313 of two adjacent upper chambers 31, and the sixth interface 316c is used for outputting the cooling medium. During actual use, by inputting the cooling medium from the third interface 315c, after it enters the first three-way pipe 315, it will enter the "S"-shaped flow channel 311 through the first interface 315a and the second interface 315b. After passing through the entire "S"-shaped flow channel 311, it will enter the second three-way pipe 316 through the fourth interface 316a and the fifth interface 316b, and finally gather at the sixth interface 316c and be discharged.

[0037] See Figure 7 , the lower chamber 32 is provided with a first chamber 321 and a second chamber 322. At least one first chamber vent hole 323 is provided on the side wall of the first chamber 321, and at least one second chamber vent hole 324 is provided in the second chamber 322. By providing vent holes, air can be discharged or inhaled from this chamber.

[0038] See Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9, the valve plate assembly 41 of the valve includes an intake valve 411 and an exhaust valve 412. The intake valve 411 is connected to the bottom of the first chamber 321, and the exhaust valve 412 is connected to the bottom of the second chamber 324. By arranging the intake valve 411 at the bottom of the first chamber 321, the air entering from the first chamber 321 is compressed by the connecting rod piston assembly 42 in the cylinder 4. By arranging the exhaust valve 412 at the bottom of the second chamber 322, the compressed air can be discharged from the second chamber 322.

[0039] See Figure 10 , two adjacent lower chambers 32 are connected through a first hollow tube 325 and a second hollow tube 326. The first hollow tube 325 connects two adjacent first chamber vent holes 323, and the second hollow tube 326 connects the second chamber vent holes 324 of two adjacent lower chambers. By arranging the first hollow tube 325 and the second hollow tube 326, the adjacent lower chambers 32 can be connected, enabling the compressor to adjust the number of intake ports 327 according to actual needs. Sealing rings 329 are provided at both ends of the first hollow tube 325 and the second hollow tube 326 to prevent air leakage between the first hollow tube 325, the second hollow tube 326 and the lower chamber 32.

[0040] Specifically, at least one intake port 327 is provided on the side walls of two adjacent first chambers 321, and the intake port 327 is used to connect with an external intake nozzle; during actual use, the intake ports 327 of two adjacent first chambers 321 can be selected to be opened simultaneously according to requirements, or only the intake port 327 of one of the first chambers 321 can be opened.

[0041] See Figure 10 , at least one exhaust port 328 and at least one pressure relief valve 330 are provided on the side walls of two adjacent second chambers 322. The exhaust port 328 is used to connect with an external exhaust nozzle, and the pressure relief valve 330 is used to release the pressure in the chamber at the end of use.

[0042] See Figure 11 , heat dissipation fins 43 of different lengths are provided on the side wall of the cylinder 4. The heat dissipation fins 43 facing the motor 11 are longer than the heat dissipation fins 43 facing other directions. By designing heat dissipation fins 43 of different lengths, the heat dissipation area on the surface of the cylinder 4 can be effectively increased without increasing the external dimensions, and heat can be fully absorbed.

[0043] As can be seen from the above, the present invention realizes the cooling of the air compressor by using both air cooling and water cooling methods simultaneously by setting the fan assembly 2 and the cylinder head assembly 3. By assembling the first fan impeller 21 and the second fan impeller 22 in opposite directions, the appropriate cooling method can be selected by adjusting the combination method according to the installation and fixed position and space conditions of the air compressor. By setting an "S"-shaped flow channel 311 in the upper chamber 31, the path of the cooling medium passing through the upper chamber 31 is the longest, so as to maximize the cooling effect of the cooling medium. By designing the lower chamber 32 as the first chamber 321 and the second chamber 322 and setting the air inlet 327 and the air outlet 328, air can enter from the first chamber 321 and be discharged from the second chamber 322 after compression, so as to realize the normal operation of the air compressor. The heat dissipation fins 43 with different lengths are also provided to increase the heat dissipation area on the surface of the cylinder 4 and further enhance the heat dissipation effect.

[0044] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art of this technology, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements are also regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
