In some embodiments, the counterweight of the crankshaft can be flexibly set, thereby improving the problems of the rotational inertia and crankshaft vibration of the crankshaft.

[0029] The crankshaft transmission structure and the structure of the electric air compressor of the present utility model are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It can be understood that the various specific embodiments are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Figure 1 The present invention is a schematic diagram of a crankshaft transmission structure of an embodiment of the present invention. The crankshaft transmission structure is suitable for an electric air compressor. Specifically, the crankshaft transmission structure includes an integrally formed crankshaft 11 and a motor shaft 12. The crankshaft 11 is provided with a connecting rod journal 111 for assembly and connection with a connecting rod of the electric air compressor, and the connecting rod is connected to a piston. The motor shaft 12 drives the crankshaft 11 to rotate, and the connecting rod journal 111 rotates accordingly to drive the connecting rod to move. The integrally formed crankshaft transmission structure can be obtained by forging or die casting. The integrated crankshaft and motor shaft can simultaneously assume the role of the motor shaft and the crankshaft of the air compressor. More importantly, it can avoid the problem of poor coaxiality of the crankshaft end caused by assembly of the split motor shaft and the crankshaft, thereby reducing the situation of severe wear at the bearing end after the air compressor has been running for a long time. At the same time, it reduces the noise during the operation of the electric air compressor and improves the stability and life of the electric air compressor.

[0031] Figure 2 and Figure 3They are respectively a structural schematic diagram and a cross-sectional diagram of a crankshaft transmission structure of an embodiment of the utility model, in which a counterweight 2 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the axial end of the crankshaft 11 away from the motor shaft 12. The crankshaft transmission structure also includes a positioning pin 21, through which the axial end of the crankshaft 11 is fixedly connected to the counterweight 2. Specifically, the counterweight 2 is arranged on an inner arc surface, and the inner arc surface matches the outer peripheral wall of the crankshaft 11. The outer peripheral surface of the counterweight 2 can also be an arc surface, and the outer arc surface of the counterweight 2 is equivalent to the curvature of the outer peripheral surface of the crankshaft 11 at that location. A through hole for penetrating the positioning pin 21 is provided on the crankshaft 11, and the positioning pin 21 is penetrated through the crankshaft 11 and connects the counterweight 2 to the crankshaft 11. The counterweight provides force balance for the entire electric air compressor during movement, reducing vibration and noise.

[0032] Since the function of the counterweight is to adjust the dynamic balance of the connecting rod connected to the crankshaft 11 and its connecting rod journal 111 during the rotation process, the position and size (shape) of the counterweight can be set according to the crankshaft transmission structure and the structure of the connecting rod connected thereto. In this embodiment, the counterweight can be part of a ring, and the arc center angle corresponding to the ring is set according to the air compressor structure. Preferably, the arc center angle corresponding to the counterweight ring is between 60 degrees and 120 degrees. In this embodiment, the counterweight 2 is detachable, and the detachable connection can improve the flexibility of the crankshaft dynamic balance adjustment, improve the efficiency of the transmission structure debugging, and help reduce the manufacturing cost of the air compressor crankshaft transmission structure. In some embodiments, the counterweight 2 can be made of carbon steel to improve the machinability of the counterweight 50.

[0033] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the crankshaft transmission structure of another embodiment of the utility model. The crankshaft 11 and the counterweight 2' of this embodiment are an integrated part. The integrated crankshaft transmission structure and the counterweight can also be obtained by forging or mold casting. The above structure can eliminate the assembly process and avoid problems such as coaxiality difference caused by the assembly process. Similarly, the outer arc surface of the counterweight 2' integrated with the crankshaft can be equivalent to the curvature of the outer peripheral surface of the crankshaft 11 at that location. The counterweight can be a part of a ring, and the arc center angle corresponding to the ring is between 60 degrees and 120 degrees. Whether the counterweight adopts a split design or an integral design can also be selected according to the structure of the electric air compressor to which the crankshaft transmission structure is applied.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the crankshaft transmission structure may further include a bearing 3, which is sleeved on one end of the motor shaft 12 close to the crankshaft 11. The bearing 3 may be a ball bearing or a roller bearing. That is, the bearings in the integrated crankshaft transmission structure assembly are not limited to ball bearings, and various motor bearing matching forms such as ball bearing-ball bearing; ball bearing-roller bearing, etc. may be adopted. At the same time, the crankshaft transmission structure may further include a motor rotor 4, which is sleeved on the motor shaft 12. One end of the crankshaft transmission structure equipped with the bearing and the motor rotor is used as the motor shaft.

[0035] The utility model also provides an electric air compressor. Figure 5 This is a schematic structural diagram of an electric air compressor according to an embodiment of the utility model. The electric air compressor includes the crankshaft transmission structure. Figure 4 The crankshaft of the crankshaft transmission structure of the embodiment is accommodated in the crankcase 9, the motor shaft 12 is accommodated in the motor housing 8, and the electric air compressor also includes a motor coil 7 on the outer periphery of the motor rotor 4, and one end of the motor shaft 12 is connected to the motor cover 5 and the motor end cover 6 through the motor bearing 31. When the crankshaft transmission structure is used in the electric air compressor, the connecting rod journal of the crankshaft is connected to the connecting rod (not shown in the figure). The integrated crankshaft transmission structure of the utility model is not limited to the application of the electric air compressor of the above structure, and can also be applied to electric air compressors of other structures, such as oil-containing air compressors, oil-free air compressors, V-type air compressors, W-type air compressors, star-shaped air compressors and parallel multi-cylinder air compressors. The electric air compressor with the one-piece crankshaft transmission structure of the utility model has more stable operation and less noise.

[0036] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limitations of the present invention. Ordinary technicians in the field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.

[0037] The above contents are further detailed descriptions of the present invention in combination with specific preferred implementations, and the specific implementation of the present invention cannot be considered to be limited to these descriptions. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which should be regarded as falling within the protection scope of the present invention.
