A filtering component 5 is provided on the upper end of the heating component 4, and the filtering component 5 is used to filter the air entering the air compressor body 1.

[0029] The filter assembly 5 includes a filter shell 51, an air inlet elbow 55, a primary filter screen plate 56 and a secondary filter screen plate 57. The filter shell 51 is installed on the upper end of the connecting shell 41. The filter shell 51 will support and protect the primary filter screen plate 56 and the secondary filter screen plate 57. An air inlet elbow 55 is arranged on the upper side of the left end surface of the filter shell 51. The air inlet elbow 55 is connected to the filter shell 51 by welding. The air inlet elbow 55 not only guides the external air into the filter shell 51, but also prevents the external dust from falling directly into the air inlet elbow 55. A primary filter screen plate 56 is inserted on the left side of the filter shell 51. The material of the primary filter screen plate 56 is a plate-type primary air filter. The material of the plate-type primary air filter is The primary filter screen 56 can filter out particle impurities of ≥5.0μm in the passing air. A secondary filter screen 57 is inserted in the middle position inside the filter shell 51. The secondary filter screen 57 is made of a plate-type medium-efficiency air filter. The secondary filter screen 57, which is a plate-type medium-efficiency air filter, can filter out particle impurities of ≥1.0μm in the passing air, thereby preventing dust in the air from being directly sucked into the air compressor body 1 and causing blockage in the internal pipeline. Sealing strips 571 are provided at the edges of the primary filter screen 56 and the secondary filter screen 57. The sealing strips 571 make the primary filter screen 56 and the secondary filter screen 57 better sealed with the filter shell 51 and the connecting shell 41.

[0031] Embodiment 2:

[0032] On the basis of the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the serpentine air duct 42 is heated by an electric heating plate 43 so that the heated serpentine air duct 42 heats and dehumidifies the air passing through the inside. In this process, the serpentine air duct 42 can further extend the path of the air passing through so as to heat and remove most of the moisture in the passing air, thereby preventing the humid air from directly entering the air compressor body 1 and causing rust.

[0033] The heating component 4 includes a connecting shell 41, a serpentine air duct 42, an electric heating plate 43 and an air inlet cavity 46. The connecting shell 41 is installed on the upper end of the air inlet seat 3. The connecting shell 41 not only protects the serpentine air duct 42, but also supports the filter shell 51. A first sealing strip 571 is installed between the connecting shell 41 and the air inlet seat 3. The first sealing strip 571 makes the sealing between the connecting shell 41 and the air inlet seat 3 better. The inside of the connecting shell 41 is fixedly connected with the serpentine air duct 42, and the serpentine air duct 42 is connected to the air inlet cavity 46. The serpentine air duct 42 not only guides the filtered air in the filter shell 51 to the air inlet seat 3, but also can extend the path of the air passing through the serpentine air duct 42, so that the serpentine air duct 42 heated by the electric heating plate 43 can dehumidify most of the moisture in the passing air.

[0034] The outer surface of the serpentine air duct 42 is wrapped with an electric heating plate 43, and the electric heating plate 43 is made of a silicone heating plate. The electric heating plate 43 made of a silicone heating plate is resistant to high temperature, has high thermal conductivity, and has good insulation performance, and has good softness. It can be in complete and close contact with the serpentine air duct 42 so as to heat the serpentine air duct 42. An air inlet cavity 46 is opened on the right side of the upper end surface of the connecting shell 41. The air inlet cavity 46 will guide the filtered air inside the filter shell 51 into the serpentine air duct 42. The inner wall of the connecting shell 41 is provided with an insulation layer 45, and the insulation layer 45 is made of an insulation blanket. The insulation layer 45 made of an insulation blanket makes the connecting shell 41 better in heat insulation and heat preservation, and prevents the heat generated by the electric heating plate 43 from passing through the connecting shell 41. Quickly drain to the outside, so as to ensure the heating effect of the electric heating plate 43, a temperature controller 44 is installed on the right end face of the connecting shell 41, and the temperature controller 44 is connected to the electric heating plate 43 through a wire, and the input end of the temperature controller 44 is connected to an external fixed power supply through a wire. The temperature controller 44 is convenient for the staff to control the electric heating plate 43 to work according to the preset temperature value. Since the internal detailed structure and working principle of the temperature controller 44 belong to the relatively mature technology in the prior art, they will not be described in detail here. A partition 47 is arranged on the right side of the upper end face of the connecting shell 41, and the partition 47 is connected to the connecting shell 41 by welding. The partition 47 prevents dust and impurities falling on the upper end face of the connecting shell 41 from entering the air inlet cavity 46.

[0035] Working principle: The staff first uses the temperature controller 44 to make the electric heating plate 43 work according to the preset temperature value, so that the electric heating plate 43 heats the serpentine air guide pipe 42, and then starts the air compressor body 1 to work. During the operation of the air compressor body 1, the external air will be sucked into the filter shell 51 through the air inlet elbow 55, and the air entering the filter shell 51 will first be filtered by the primary filter screen 56, and then the secondary filter screen 57 will perform a secondary filter on the air, thereby preventing dust in the external air from being directly sucked into the air compressor body 1 The internal pipeline will be blocked; and the air after the second filtration will pass through the air inlet cavity 46 and enter the serpentine air duct 42. At this time, the serpentine air duct 42 heated by the electric heating plate 43 will heat and dehumidify the air passing through the inside. In this process, the serpentine air duct 42 can further extend the path of the air so as to heat and remove most of the moisture in the passing air, thereby preventing the humid air from directly entering the air compressor body 1 and causing rust. The heated and dehumidified air will be sucked into the air compressor body 1 through the air inlet seat 3.

[0036] During later use, the staff only needs to rotate the hand turntable 54 by hand to make the hand turntable 54 drive the transmission vertical rod 52 to rotate, and the transmission vertical rod 52 will drive the hitting ball 58 to rotate together through the connecting spring 59, and the connecting spring 59 also makes the hitting ball 58 have the ability to retract during the rotation process, so that the rotating hitting ball 58 intermittently hits the primary filter screen plate 56 and the secondary filter screen plate 57 respectively. During this process, the primary filter screen plate 56 and the secondary filter screen plate 57 that are intermittently hit will vibrate to shake off a part of the dust blocked by the left end surface, thereby extending the cleaning and replacement cycle of the primary filter screen plate 56 and the secondary filter screen plate 57. When the staff removes the fixing screw 511 with the help of an external wrench, the filter shell 51 can be disassembled. At this time, the primary filter screen plate 56 and the secondary filter screen plate 57 can be taken out from the inside of the filter shell 51 for replacement or cleaning.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
