Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air compressors, specifically to an energy-saving air compressor. Background Technology

[0002] An air compressor is a general-purpose power device that converts the mechanical energy of a prime mover into the pressure energy of a gas. It increases gas pressure by reducing the volume of air in a sealed cavity. It is the second largest power source in the industrial field after electricity. It is widely used in machinery manufacturing, mining and metallurgy, petrochemicals, power energy, food and medicine, rail transportation, textile printing and dyeing and other fields, covering all scenarios such as pneumatic tool drive, automated instrument air supply, material pneumatic conveying, process gas compression, high-pressure purging, air separation nitrogen production and oxygen production.

[0003] Air compressors use air-cooled cooling, where a motor drives a fan to force cool air through the radiator, carrying away the oil and compressed air temperatures and keeping the oil temperature within a safe range of 75-95℃. However, clogging of the filter cover in air-cooled radiators is relatively common. Dust and lint can easily clog the external filter cover, resulting in insufficient airflow and potentially causing the compressor to shut down due to high temperature.

[0004] Currently, in the process of cleaning air compressors, the industry commonly uses the method of removing the filter cover from the air compressor and cleaning it manually. This traditional method requires the staff to remove the external filter cover every time they clean it, which not only makes the entire cleaning process inefficient, but also is time-consuming and labor-intensive for the staff performing the cleaning task. This makes it difficult to carry out the daily cleaning and maintenance of the filter cover in a timely and effective manner, which may affect the normal operation of the equipment and the filtration effect.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0020] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 15 The figure shows an energy-saving air compressor, including: a compressor body 1, a metal mesh 2 disposed on the compressor body 1, and a mounting component 3 disposed on the compressor body 1 for mounting and fixing the metal mesh 2; and a hinge seat 4 fixed on the compressor body 1, a mounting bracket 5 rotatably connected to the hinge seat 4, and a cleaning mechanism 6 disposed on the mounting bracket 5 for cleaning the metal mesh 2.

[0021] In this scheme, the metal mesh 2 is located on the flywheel mechanism of the compressor body 1 and is used to protect the flywheel mechanism of the compressor body 1. Personnel use the mounting parts 3 to fix and disassemble the metal mesh 2. When the metal mesh 2 reaches the cleaning standard, the cleaning mechanism 6 performs the cleaning task on the metal mesh 2.

[0022] It should be noted that, based on the state of the metal mesh 2, the personnel flip the cleaning mechanism 6 to the working state and complete its positioning, and then clean the metal mesh 2 through the cleaning mechanism 6, thereby extending the service life of the metal mesh 2.

[0023] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism 6 includes: a base 12 fixed on the mounting frame 5, and a servo motor 13 fixed on the base 12; a rotating shaft 14 rotatably connected to the mounting frame 5; pulleys 15 fixed on both the rotating shaft 14 and the output shaft of the servo motor 13; the two pulleys 15 are connected by a belt 16; at least two cams 17 are fixed on the rotating shaft 14; a guide rod 18 is fixed on the mounting frame 5; an attachment frame 19 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 18; a pulley 20 that abuts against the cams 17 is rotatably connected to the attachment frame 19 via a support; and a tension spring 21 is fixed between the attachment frame 19 and the mounting frame 5. The mounting frame 5 is rotatably connected to the drive shaft 23 via the rotating seat a22, and the drive shaft 23 is connected to the rotating shaft 14 via two bevel gears a24. The mounting frame 19 is fixed with the rotating seat b25, and the mounting sleeve 26 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat b25. The mounting sleeve 26 is fixed with the bevel gear b27, and the bevel gear b27 has a groove 28. The drive shaft 23 is fixed with the transmission block 29 which is slidably connected to the groove 28. The mounting frame 19 is rotatably connected with the brush roller 30 which is in contact with the metal mesh 2, and the brush roller 30 is fixed with the bevel gear c31 which is meshed with the bevel gear b27.

[0024] The length of the guide rod 18 is greater than the length of the transmission block 29, and the mounting bracket 19 is located directly above the mounting bracket 5. By setting the length of the guide rod 18, it is ensured that the mounting bracket 19 can always slide with the guide rod 18 when the transmission block 29 is in transmission with the bevel gear b27.

[0025] It should be noted that the cleaning mechanism 6 enables efficient and stable cleaning of the metal mesh 2, effectively reducing the frequency of personnel disassembling and cleaning the metal mesh 2, thereby significantly extending the service life and time of the metal mesh 2. In addition, the mechanism also has a flipping function, which can be adjusted to a certain tilt position relative to the compressor body 1, making it convenient to clean the brush roller 30 thoroughly and easily.

[0026] In this solution, the cleaning mechanism cleans the metal mesh 2 using the following principle: First, ensure that the brush roller 30 is in contact with the metal mesh 2. Driven by the servo motor 13, the shaft 14 rotates through the transmission action of the pulley 15 and belt 16, causing the cam 17 to rotate synchronously. With the elastic action of the tension spring 21, the pulley 20 is always in contact with the cam 17. The meshing transmission action of the bevel gear a24 causes the transmission shaft 23 to rotate under force. The squeezing transmission action between the cam 17 and the pulley 20 drives the mounting frame 19 to move back and forth on the guide rod 18, so that the brush roller 30 rotates while moving back and forth. The friction between the brush roller 30 and the metal mesh 2 is used to complete the cleaning of the metal mesh 2.

[0027] Furthermore, the compressor body 1 is provided with a soot blowing mechanism 32, which includes a bracket 33 fixed on the compressor body 1, and the bracket 33 is provided with a plurality of mounting slots 34, on which a fan 35 is fixed, and the fan 35 is located on one side of the metal mesh 2.

[0028] It should be noted that when using the cleaning mechanism 6 to clean the metal mesh 2, the compressor body 1 must be stopped first. With the setting of the dust blowing mechanism 32, the generated wind force can be used to blow the dust that has been cleaned off to one side when cleaning the metal mesh 2.

[0029] It should also be noted that by setting up the dust blowing mechanism 32, it can not only work with the cleaning mechanism 6 to effectively blow the dust that falls during the cleaning process to one side to prevent it from falling back onto the heat dissipation fins, but also accelerate the heat dissipation process of the compressor body 1 to a certain extent during normal operation of the compressor body 1 with the help of the continuous wind force generated by the dust blowing mechanism 32, thereby enhancing the cooling effect.

[0030] In this solution, the dust blowing mechanism 32 generates continuous airflow, which can blow the dust that has been swept off the metal mesh 2 to one side of the compressor body 1, preventing the dust from falling onto the heat dissipation fins of the compressor body 1, and can also accelerate the cooling rate of the compressor body 1 to a certain extent.

[0031] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 4 - Figure 7 and Figure 9 - Figure 13 This embodiment further explains the first embodiment, the difference being that it discloses a method for limiting the cleaning mechanism 6.

[0032] Specifically, the bracket 33 is provided with a positioning component 36, which includes: a positioning rod 37 fixed on the bracket 33 by a mounting block; a protective shell 38 fixed on the mounting bracket 5; a channel 39 on the protective shell 38 for the positioning rod 37 to pass through; an attachment block 40 fixed on the protective shell 38; a connecting rod 41 slidingly passing through the attachment block 40; a pull ring 42 fixed at one end of the connecting rod 41; a limiting block 43 fixed at the other end of the connecting rod 41; and a spring 44 sleeved on the connecting rod 41. One end of the spring 44 is fixed to the limiting block 43, and the other end of the spring 44 is fixed to the attachment block 40. The side of the protective shell 38 closest to the compressor body 1 is provided with a smooth arc surface. The smooth arc surface of the protective shell 38 effectively reduces the possibility of damage caused by collision with the compressor body 1.

[0033] The protective shell 38 has a handle 45 running through it, and the handle 45 is fixed to the mounting bracket 5. The handle 45 is fixed with an anti-slip sleeve. The addition of the handle 45 makes it convenient for personnel to pull the cleaning mechanism to rotate.

[0034] It should be noted that when cleaning the metal mesh 2 is required, the cleaning mechanism can be flipped by pulling the handle 45 and positioned by the positioning component 36. When cleaning the metal mesh 2 is not required, the positioning component 36 can be used to release the limit to avoid excessive obstruction of the metal mesh 2 and affecting heat dissipation.

[0035] In this solution, when the metal mesh 2 needs to be cleaned, the handle 45 is pulled to rotate the cleaning mechanism. The squeezing transmission between the arc surface of the limiting block 43 and the positioning rod 37 causes the connecting rod 41 to move upward until the brush roller 30 is in contact with the metal mesh 2. The elasticity of the spring 44 then causes the limiting block 43 to spring back and reset, so that the plane of the limiting block 43 contacts the positioning rod 37, thus limiting the cleaning mechanism.

[0036] Example 3: Please refer to Figure 14 - Figure 15 This embodiment further explains the first embodiment, the difference being that it discloses a method for assembling and disassembling the metal mesh 2.

[0037] Specifically, the mounting component 3 includes: a frame 7 fixed on the compressor body 1, and the frame 7 has a threaded hole 8, a screw 9 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 8, and a positioning ring 10 that abuts against the metal mesh 2 is fixed on the screw 9, and a knob 11 is fixed to one end of the screw 9.

[0038] The compressor body 1 is fixed with several positioning plates 46, and the metal mesh 2 is inserted into the positioning plates 46. The addition of the positioning plates 46 serves to pre-position the metal mesh 2, making it convenient for workers to use the mounting parts 3 to fix the metal mesh 2. The metal mesh 2 abuts against the frame 7, and the positioning plates 46 are all fixed with reinforcing plates. The setting of the reinforcing plates effectively improves the stability of the positioning plates 46.

[0039] It should be noted that the installation component 3 ensures that the metal mesh 2 is installed and fixed in a stable and reliable manner. This not only greatly facilitates the disassembly and installation of the metal mesh 2 by the staff, but also makes it easier for relevant personnel to quickly remove the metal mesh 2 for thorough cleaning or timely replacement. The whole process is simple, convenient, and easy to operate. The disassembly and installation of the metal mesh 2 can be easily completed without relying on any additional tools.

[0040] In this solution, the operator rotates the screw 9 by turning the knob 11. The screw 9 and the threaded hole 8 are connected by a threaded drive until the screw 9 separates from the threaded hole 8. The screw 9 is then removed, thus releasing the metal mesh 2 from its fixation. When the metal mesh 2 needs to be fixed, the screw 9 is taken out, aligned with the threaded hole 8, and the knob 11 is rotated. The screw 9 and the threaded hole 8 are connected by a threaded drive until the positioning ring 10 is in close contact with the metal mesh 2, thus completing the installation and fixation of the metal mesh 2.

[0041] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0042] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
