[0024] An oil-free air compressor pre-cooler provided by the utility model comprises a pre-cooler 1 and a cleaning brush 19. The two ends of the pre-cooler 1 are integrally connected with an air inlet pipe 2 and an air outlet pipe 23 respectively. A plurality of ventilation holes 9 are formed in the interiors of the air inlet pipe 2 and the air outlet pipe 23.

An air outlet net 18 is arranged on the outer wall of the front of the pre-cooler 1. When the oil-free air compressor works, a large flow of air is drawn into the air inlet pipe 2. The large flow of air is dispersed into the interiors of a plurality of cooling pipes 10. The semiconductor refrigeration sheet 15 cools the air inside the cooling seat 12. The first motor 14 is started to drive the fan blade 24 to rotate, so that the cold air after being cooled by the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 15 enters the interior of the pre-cooler 1 to exchange heat with the air inside the cooling pipes 10. This structure adopts a decentralized cooling method, and can better cool the air inside the cooling pipes 10.

[0025] By arranging: a plurality of cooling pipes 10 can disperse the incoming large flow of air. The heat in the air inside the cooling pipes 10 is dissipated through the heat dissipation fins 11. The first motor 14 drives the fan blade 24 to rotate, which can draw the cold air cooled by the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 15 into the interior of the pre-cooler 1 to fully exchange heat with the air inside the cooling pipes 10. Adopting the decentralized cooling method can fully cool the air inside the cooling pipes 10, making the cooling effect better.

[0026] In an embodiment provided by the utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a filter screen 3 is arranged on the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 2. A rotating rod 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the filter screen 3 through a bearing. The filter screen 3 can filter the air entering the interior of the pre-cooler 1.

[0027] In another embodiment provided by the utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, cleaning brushes 5 are arranged on the outer wall of the rotating rod 4, and the bristles of the cleaning brushes 5 extend into the interior of the filter screen 3. The two cleaning brushes 5 are respectively located on both sides of the filter screen 3. The cleaning brushes 5 can remove the dust on the filter screen 3.

[0028] In another embodiment provided by the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, one end of the rotating rod 4 is welded with a gear 6. An electric push rod 7 is arranged on the outer wall of the top of the air inlet pipe 2, and a toothed plate 8 engaged with the gear 6 is arranged on the output end of the electric push rod 7. The electric push rod 7 can drive the toothed plate 8 to lift and engage with the gear 6.

[0029] In an embodiment provided by the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the cleaning brush 19 is slidably sleeved outside the cooling pipe 10 and the heat dissipation fins 11. A second motor 20 is fixed to the outer wall of one side of the pre-cooler 1 by bolts. When the cleaning brush 19 moves, it can clean the dust on the heat dissipation fins 11.

[0030] In another embodiment provided by the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, a lead screw 21 is arranged on the output shaft of the second motor 20, and the cleaning brush 19 is threadedly sleeved outside the lead screw 21. The second motor 20 can drive the lead screw 21 to rotate and thread with the cleaning brush 19.

[0031] In another embodiment provided by the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, guide rods 22 are arranged on the inner wall of the pre-cooler 1, and the cleaning brush 19 is slidably sleeved outside the guide rods 22. The guide rods 22 can play a guiding role for the cleaning brush 19.

[0032] Working principle: When the oil-free air compressor works, it will draw in a large flow of air into the intake pipe 2, and then disperse it into the inside of the cooling pipe 10. The heat in the air inside the cooling pipe 10 is dissipated into the inside of the pre-cooler 1 through the heat dissipation fins 11. Start the first motor 14 to drive the fan blade 24 to rotate, and draw the air outside the pre-cooler 1 into the inside of the cooling seat 12 through the air inlet net 16. The semiconductor refrigeration sheet 15 cools the air inside the cooling seat 12, and then the cold air enters the inside of the pre-cooler 1 to exchange heat with the air inside the cooling pipe 10. This structure adopts the method of decentralized cooling, which can better cool the air inside the cooling pipe 10 and can fully cool it. The heat is dissipated through the air outlet net 18. The cooled air inside the cooling pipe 10 enters the inside of the oil-free air compressor through the air outlet pipe 23. When the air passes through the intake pipe 2, the filter screen 3 can filter the air entering the inside of the pre-cooler 1 to prevent dust from depositing after entering the inside of the oil-free air compressor. Starting the electric push rod 7 can drive the toothed plate 8 to lift and engage with the gear 6, which can make the gear 6 drive the rotating rod 4 and the cleaning brush 5 to rotate. The cleaning brush 5 can clean the dust on the filter screen 3, realizing the self-cleaning function. When the pre-cooler 1 is not running, starting the second motor 20 can drive the lead screw 21 to rotate and thread with the cleaning plate brush 19, which can make the cleaning plate brush 19 move outside the heat dissipation fins 11. The cleaning plate brush 19 can sweep away the dust on the heat dissipation fins 11. Cooperating with the first motor 14 to drive the fan blade 24 to rotate, the dust is discharged through the air outlet net 18, which can prevent the dust on the heat dissipation fins 11 from affecting the heat dissipation and cooling of the air inside the cooling pipe 10, realizing the self-cleaning function.

[0033] Only some exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described by way of illustration above. Undoubtedly, for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
