Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of air compressor technology, and more specifically to a low-noise variable frequency air compressor. Background Technology
[0002] An air compressor uses a high-speed motor to drive its internal air compression components, providing high-pressure gas and storing it for later use. Existing air compressors, with the addition of sensors, electronic control designs, and advanced variable frequency motor technology, increase equipment power when using a large amount of air. When using a small amount of air and the pre-stored air pressure reaches the value, the motor operating frequency is reduced to maintain idling. However, because the equipment's air compression structure is a follow-up motor output shaft structure, the high-frequency operation results in significant noise. Furthermore, when some motors operate at low frequency and low power, the output power is mismatched with the working power of the air compression components, leading to inefficient operation of the air compressor. Therefore, an improved design is proposed for the air compressor to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

At the same time, it designs air compression structures with different amplitude strokes in different groups, allowing for the selection of different working access modes according to the power requirements of the equipment by changing the access method, thus maintaining stable operation of the equipment.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The preferred embodiments described are only examples. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the specific implementation adopts the following technical solution: This specific embodiment includes a gas storage tank 1, a pressurizing tank 2, and a housing 3. Two pressurizing tanks 2 are connected in parallel and fixedly mounted on the gas storage tank 1. The outlet end of the pressurizing tank 2 is connected to the inlet end of the gas storage tank 1 via a solenoid valve. A compressor piston 7 is movably mounted inside the pressurizing tank 2. The housing 3 is fixedly mounted on the pressurizing tank 2. The gas outlet pipe, pressurizing tank 2, and housing 3 together form the overall equipment structure. A drive motor 5 is fixedly mounted on the housing 3. A compressor mechanism 4 is installed inside the housing 3 in conjunction with the pressurizing tank 2. The drive motor 5 and the compressor mechanism 4 are connected via a drive mechanism 6. The air compression mechanism 4 includes an air compressor 4-1, a transmission piston 4-2, and a transmission rod 4-3. There are two air compressors 4-1, each fixedly mounted on one of two pressure tanks 2. Each air compressor 4-1 is integrally formed from two cylindrical sections with different inner diameters. The smaller diameter end of one air compressor 4-1 is fixedly mounted on one of the pressure tanks 2, and the larger diameter end of the other air compressor 4-1 is fixedly mounted on the other pressure tank 2. Two transmission pistons 4-2 are arranged as a group and are respectively positioned inside the two ends of the air compressor 4-1. The air compressor 4-1 is positioned... Hydraulic oil is filled between the two transmission pistons 4-2. Transmission rod 4-3 is fixedly mounted on transmission piston 4-2 and extends beyond the port of compressor 4-1. Compressor 4-1 is fixed to one end of pressure tank 2. Transmission rod 4-3 passes through the end wall of pressure tank 2 and is then fixedly mounted on compressor piston 7. The drive mechanism 6 includes a dual-shaft reducer 6-1, crankshaft 6-3, and connecting rod 6-4. The dual-shaft reducer 6-1 is fixedly mounted inside housing 3, and the dual-shaft reducer 6-1 is connected to drive motor 5 via a fastener. The components are connected in a "T"-shaped configuration between the input shaft and the dual output shafts of the dual-shaft reducer 6-1. The output shaft of the drive motor 5 is connected to the input shaft of the dual-shaft reducer 6-1 via a coupling 6-2. There are two crankshafts 6-3, each fixedly mounted on one of the two output shafts of the dual-shaft reducer 6-1, with the two crankshafts 6-3 facing opposite directions at 180°. A connecting rod 6-4 is screwed onto the movable end of each crankshaft 6-3 via a rotating shaft. A guide rail 10 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the housing 3. The air compressor 4-1 faces the crankshaft. A connecting seat 8 is fixedly installed on the transmission rod 4-3 inside one end of shaft 6-3. The connecting seat 8 is slidably installed on the guide rail 10. A transmission seat 9 is spun on the movable end of the connecting rod 6-4 via a rotating shaft, and the transmission seat 9 is slidably installed on the guide rail 10. A servo motor 11 is fixedly installed on the transmission seat 9. A connecting arm 12 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the servo motor 11. A connecting pin 13 is fixedly installed on the movable end of the connecting arm 12. A connecting groove 14 with an open end is opened on the connecting seat 8, and the connecting pin 13 is movably inserted into the connecting groove 14.
[0025] When using this device, the solenoid valve, drive motor 5, and servo motor 11 are connected to the microcontroller, and the solenoid valve, drive motor 5, and servo motor 11 are connected to the power supply. Through the reciprocating motion of the compressor piston 7, high-pressure gas is forced into the air storage tank 1 via the pressurization tank 2. This is achieved by connecting to the air storage tank 1 through a pipeline, enabling the use of high-pressure gas. When the usage volume is low, the microcontroller, in conjunction with the air pressure sensor, adjusts the frequency of the drive motor 5 to reduce its operating power. Conversely, when the usage volume is high, the operating power of the drive motor 5 is increased, achieving variable frequency operation of this air compressor. The drive motor 5 is input through the coupling 6-2 and the dual-shaft reducer 6-1, thus the dual-shaft reducer... 6-1 drives the crankshafts 6-3 on both sides to rotate. The crankshafts 6-3 pull the transmission seat 9 to slide on the guide rail 10 through the connecting rod 6-4. The connecting arm 12 is hung in the connecting groove 14 on the connecting seat 8 through the connecting pin 13, so that the connecting seat 8 is driven to slide back and forth through the transmission seat 9. Thus, the transmission rod 4-3 fixed to the connecting seat 8 drives the transmission piston 4-2 in the compressor cylinder 4-1 facing the crankshaft 6-3 to move back and forth. The hydraulic oil in the compressor cylinder 4-1 drives the transmission piston 4-2 at the end connected to the compressor piston 7 to move, thus driving the compressor piston 7 to move back and forth. This allows the compressor piston 7 to move back and forth in the pressurization tank 2 to fill the gas storage tank 1 with high-pressure gas. The eccentricities of the crankshafts 6-3 on both sides are the same, resulting in the same reciprocating amplitude of the transmission seats 9 connected to each crankshaft 6-3. This means the reciprocating amplitude of the transmission pistons 4-2 at the input ends of the two compressor cylinders 4-1 is the same. Since the two compressor cylinders 4-1 have cylindrical structures with different inner diameters at both ends and are arranged in opposite directions, one compressor cylinder 4-1 pushes its connected compressor piston 7 with a larger reciprocating amplitude, while the compressor piston 7 in the other pressurized tank 2 moves with a smaller amplitude. When low-power, slow-speed gas replenishment to the gas storage tank 1 is required, the servo motor 11 drives the connecting arm 12 to rotate. The connecting arm 12 drives the connecting pin 13, connecting the transmission seat 8 on the side with the smaller compression amplitude to the transmission seat 9. The moving base 9 is connected via the connecting arm 12. The connecting base 8 on the other side with large-amplitude air compression is disconnected from the transmission base 9. Only one side of the air compressor 4-1 is connected to the drive motor 5 and the air compressor piston 7 on that side. The small-amplitude reciprocating motion of the air compressor piston 7 is used to fill the air tank 1. When maintaining the normal air compression speed, only the air compressor 4-1 on the side with large-amplitude output is connected to the drive motor 5. The large-amplitude movement of the air compressor piston 7 in the pressurized tank 2 on that side is used to fill the air tank 1 normally. When it is necessary to quickly replenish the gas in the air tank 1, the air compressors 4-1 on both sides are connected to the drive motor 5. Both pressurized tanks 2 on both sides are used to work and quickly replenish the gas in the air tank 1.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This solution uses the crankshaft 6-3 and connecting rod 6-4 driven by the drive motor 5 to drive the reciprocating motion of the compressed air piston 7 in the pressure tank 2. In conjunction with the servo control adjustment of the microcontroller, the working output power of the equipment can be adjusted according to different working requirements, and the drive motor 5 can be made to work in a variable frequency manner. 2. This solution uses a hydraulically driven air compressor 4-1 to achieve transmission between the crankshaft 6-3 and the pressure tank 2. The input and output ends of the air compressor 4-1 are made of concrete with different inner diameters, so that the motion amplitude of the output end can be changed while the motion amplitude of the input end is constant, thereby achieving different working power of the two pressure tanks 2. 3. This device uses the docking of the transmission seat 9 and the connecting seat 8 to realize the transmission connection between the crankshaft 6-3 and the air cylinder 4-1. The connecting arm 12 driven by the servo motor 11 realizes the clutch control between the transmission seat 9 and the connecting seat 8. Thus, according to the working power requirements of the equipment, different air cylinders 4-1 can be connected to drive the corresponding pressure tank 2 to work.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this invention should be included within the protection scope of this invention.
