Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of air compressors, and more particularly to a high-altitude booster air compressor structure. Background Technology
[0002] Air compressors, as key equipment for providing compressed air, are widely used in industrial manufacturing, energy extraction, and infrastructure construction. In high-altitude areas, the atmospheric pressure and air density decrease significantly due to the increased altitude, posing a severe challenge to traditional air compressors. Insufficient intake volume directly leads to the inability to meet the rated output pressure and flow rate, resulting in a significant reduction in working efficiency. The complex terrain of high-altitude areas places higher demands on the adaptability of equipment installation and positioning. A fixed-angle intake duct may not be able to effectively align with the optimal wind direction, further aggravating intake losses. Existing technologies either use simple intake filtration devices, which are difficult to actively adjust and optimize the intake state, or rely on increasing the overall power of the equipment to compensate for performance degradation. This not only increases manufacturing costs and energy consumption but also fails to fundamentally solve the problems of intake efficiency, heat dissipation, and adaptability in high-altitude environments.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a special air compressor intake structure that can actively adapt to the special working conditions of high altitudes and integrate intelligent intake regulation, efficient pressure boosting and flow guiding and auxiliary heat dissipation functions to ensure its stable and efficient operation in high-altitude areas. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] A high-altitude booster air compressor structure, such as Figures 1-9 As shown, it includes an outer pipe 1, with a Venturi structure 4 inside. An air inlet 2 is located on the right side of the outer pipe 1, and an air outlet 3 is located on the left side. An outer ring 9 is rotatably mounted at the air inlet 2. The outer ring 9 and the outer pipe 1 are detachably connected. A gas spring 10 is rotatably mounted on the left side of the outer ring 9, and a mounting base 11 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the gas spring 10. Multiple second connectors 91 are connected to the outer edge of the outer ring 9, and each second connector 91 is rotatably connected to a first rotating component 12. Each of the first rotating parts 12 is rotatably connected to a second rotating part 13. A ball head 14 is provided between each second rotating part 13 and the adjacent first rotating part 12. A blade 15 is connected to the inner side of each second rotating part 13. The blade 15 is rotatably connected to the air inlet 2. Rotating the outer ring 9 causes the first rotating part 12 to drive the second rotating part 13 to rotate, thereby causing the blade 15 to rotate, thus closing and opening the air inlet 2. It also allows for adjustment of the air intake volume. A guide pipe 5 is provided at the lower part of the outer pipe 1 to guide the airflow. Pipe 5 is used to connect to the heat dissipation channel to complete the auxiliary heat dissipation of the air compressor. A flange 6 is slidably provided on the outside of the guide pipe 5. A first connecting piece 8 is connected to the flange 6. A top plate 7 is provided between the first connecting pieces 8. The top plate 7 can fit against the inner side wall of the outer pipe 1. A guide plate 16 is provided on the left side of the inner part of the outer pipe 1. The guide plate 16 has a spiral structure and ribs 17 are provided on each guide plate 16. The mounting plate 18 is located below the mounting base 11. A drive assembly 19 is provided on the mounting plate 18. The upper right side of the mounting plate 18 is provided with a first mounting frame 20 and a second mounting frame 21, which can be assembled. The upper right side of the mounting plate 18 is rotatably connected to a transmission assembly 22, which consists of a worm gear, a worm, and a lead screw. The mounting base 11 is threadedly connected to the lead screw. The worm gear and the worm are located in the space after the first mounting frame 20 and the second mounting frame 21 are assembled. The upper left side of the mounting plate 18 is connected to a guide rod 23, which is slidably connected to the mounting base 11.
[0029] It should be noted that when the device is started, external air is first drawn in through the air inlet 2 located on the right side of the external pipe 1. At this time, the operator can manually rotate the outer ring 9 according to the actual working conditions. The outer ring 9 drives the first rotating component 12 to move through multiple second connecting parts 91 connected to its outer edge. The first rotating component 12 and the second rotating component 13 are connected by a ball joint 14. This universal joint design allows the second rotating component 13 to transmit the motion to the inner connected blades 15 when the outer ring 9 is rotated, so that all blades 15 rotate synchronously in the air inlet 2, realizing stepless adjustment of the opening degree of the air inlet 2. Initially, the blades 15 can be adjusted to a smaller opening to limit the air intake and prevent the air compressor from overloading during startup. After the operation is stable, the opening can be increased. Blade 15 increases air intake. When shutdown or maintenance is required, blade 15 can be completely closed to block airflow, achieving precise control and safe isolation of the intake volume. After passing through the adjustable blade 15, air enters the outer pipe 1 and first flows through the Venturi structure 4. Based on fluid dynamics principles, this structure increases the airflow velocity and decreases the pressure at the throat by changing the cross-section, forming a local low-pressure zone. This not only accelerates airflow and improves intake efficiency but also utilizes the pressure difference effect to draw in as much air as possible in high-altitude environments, partially compensating for the decrease in air density caused by altitude, and providing pre-treated airflow for the subsequent compression stage. Then, the airflow moves towards the outlet 3. When passing through the guide plate 16 set on the left side of the outer pipe 1, it spirals... The baffle 16 and the ribs 17 on it exert a strong rotational effect on the airflow, transforming the potentially turbulent airflow into an orderly spiral vortex. This results in a more uniform distribution of gas molecules, reducing flow losses and energy dissipation. Furthermore, the centrifugal force generated by the vortex helps separate trace amounts of moisture or impurities in the air towards the pipe wall, initially improving the intake air quality. Simultaneously, the uniform airflow creates stable conditions for subsequent compressor unit operation. Parallel to the main airflow path is the auxiliary cooling system. The guide pipe 5 at the lower part of the external pipe 1 is connected to the air compressor's own cooling channels (such as the intercooler or engine cooling circuit) via a pipe. When the air compressor generates heat during operation, some of the introduced cold air or coolant flows through the guide pipe 5. The flange 6, which is slidably mounted on the outside of the guide pipe 5, is fixed to the top plate 7 via the first connecting piece 8. In its initial state, or by adjusting the sliding position of the flange 6, the top plate 7 is tightly fitted against the inner wall of the outer pipe 1 to close the bypass. When enhanced heat dissipation is required, the top plate 7 can be adjusted to separate from the pipe wall, forming a gap. At this time, utilizing the pressure difference generated by the Venturi structure 4, a portion of the airflow is guided to the guide pipe 5. This diverted airflow or cooling medium carries away the heat generated during the compression process or related components, achieving active and auxiliary heat dissipation for the air compressor. This prevents equipment performance degradation or overheating failures due to insufficient heat dissipation under high-altitude, oxygen-deficient conditions. The high adaptability of this device is reflected in its unique installation and adjustment mechanism, with the mounting plate 18 serving as the foundation support.The first mounting frame 20 and the second mounting frame 21 on the upper right side of the mounting plate 18, when combined, form a sealed space that houses the transmission assembly 22, which consists of a worm gear, a worm, and a lead screw. The guide rod 23 on the upper left side of the mounting plate 18 forms a sliding pair with the mounting base 11 to ensure motion stability. When the altitude changes or the intake angle needs to be optimized, the drive assembly 19 (such as a manual crank or a small motor) drives the worm to rotate. The worm drives the worm gear, which is coaxially connected to the lead screw, thus converting the rotational motion into the linear motion of the lead screw. The mounting base 11, which is threaded to the lead screw, then moves vertically precisely along the guide rod 23. The mounting base 11 is also connected to the outer ring 9 and the entire intake adjustment mechanism via the air rod 10. Therefore, the raising and lowering of the mounting base 11 directly changes the height and tilt angle of the intake port 2 and even the entire Venturi tube section relative to the base mounting plate 18. This allows the operator to fine-tune the spatial attitude of the intake duct according to the specific altitude, terrain, and the position of the air compressor body, ensuring that the intake port 2 is always aligned with the optimal position in any complex installation environment. The optimized airflow direction maximizes intake efficiency. The detachable connection between the outer ring 9 and the outer pipe 1 facilitates quick maintenance or replacement of the entire intake module. The bottom of the air rod 10 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 11, and the top is rotatably connected to the outer ring 9. This design allows the outer ring 9 and blade 15 mechanism to adaptively adjust their angles during the lifting or lowering of the mounting base 11 by the lead screw, preventing damage to rotating components due to rigid stress caused by height changes. This ensures the smooth operation of the blade 15's opening and closing adjustment function. Finally, after pressurization, flow guidance, and possible diversion and heat dissipation pretreatment, the air is stably and rapidly output from the outlet 3 on the left side of the outer pipe 1, and delivered to the compression cylinder of the main air compressor for subsequent compression. This effectively overcomes the core challenges of insufficient air intake, reduced efficiency, and difficult heat dissipation caused by thin air in high-altitude environments. Through integrated adjustable intake, Venturi pressurization, swirl flow guidance, auxiliary heat dissipation, and adaptive installation posture adjustment, the working efficiency, reliability, and adaptability of the air compressor under harsh high-altitude conditions are significantly improved.
