Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air compressors, and particularly relates to an air intake regulating device for an air compressor. Background Art
[0002] An air compressor, abbreviated as an air compressor, is a device for compressing air. Traditional air compressors control the intake air volume through an inverse proportion valve (also known as a "capacity regulating valve"). The implementation process is as follows: when the exhaust pressure rises to a certain level, the pressure signal is transmitted through the pipeline to the inlet of the inverse proportion valve, and the inverse proportion valve outputs a decreasing pressure signal to the cylinder. The cylinder retracts a certain stroke, thereby closing the butterfly valve and reducing the intake air passage to achieve the purpose of reducing the intake air volume; conversely, when the exhaust pressure drops, the inverse proportion valve inputs an increasing pressure signal, the cylinder extends, and the butterfly valve is pushed to open more intake air passages to increase the intake air volume. This "passive and lagging" regulation method has some defects: when the exhaust pressure is greater than the preset value, the motor load will increase, wasting electric energy; when the exhaust pressure is less than the preset value, the air compressor cannot provide sufficient pressure air.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] As Figure 1-8As shown in the figure, the utility model provides an air compressor intake air regulating device, which includes a bottom plate 1. An air compressor 11 is fixedly arranged on the bottom plate 1. The air compressor 11 includes an intake pipe 12 and an outlet pipe 15. A filter 14 and a solenoid valve 13 are sequentially arranged at the end of the intake pipe 12. The outlet pipe 15 is communicated with a first connecting pipe 21. The other end of the first connecting pipe 21 is communicated with a regulating component 2. The regulating component 2 is provided with a second connecting pipe 22. The second connecting pipe 22 is communicated with the intake pipe 12 between the solenoid valve 13 and the air compressor 11.
[0031] The regulating component 2 includes an upper shell 26, a middle shell 27 and a lower shell 28 which are fixedly connected in sequence. An upper through hole 262 is arranged on the left side of the upper shell 26. The upper through hole 262 is fixedly communicated with the first connecting pipe 21. A second connecting pipe 22 is arranged at the left end of the lower shell 28. An air inlet 23 is arranged at the right end of the lower shell 28. The air inlet 23 and the second connecting pipe 22 are communicated through a lower communication cavity 281.
[0032] The middle shell 27 includes a left through hole 271 and a right through hole 272. Both the left through hole 271 and the right through hole 272 penetrate through the middle shell 27. A sliding groove 273 is horizontally arranged at the upper end of the middle shell 27. A rectangular valve plate 251 is slidably and sealingly connected in the sliding groove 273. A valve plate hole 2511 is arranged at the right end of the rectangular valve plate 251.
[0033] Furthermore, a screw rod 25 is fixedly connected to the right end of the rectangular valve plate 251. A nut 243 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the screw rod 25. A worm gear 244 is concentrically and fixedly connected to the outer side of the nut 243. The worm gear 244 is meshed with a worm 242. The worm 242 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of a servo motor 24 through a coupling 241. The servo motor 24 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the middle shell 27.
[0034] During operation, the servo motor 24 drives the worm 242 to rotate. The worm 242 drives the worm gear 244 and the nut 243 to rotate through meshing. The rotation of the nut 243 drives the screw rod 25 and the rectangular valve plate 251 to slide in the sliding groove 273. When the rectangular valve plate 251 is at the leftmost end, the valve plate 251 closes the left through hole 271, and the valve plate hole 2511 is communicated with the right through hole 272, realizing the opening of the right through hole 272. When the rectangular valve plate 251 is at the rightmost end, the rectangular valve plate 251 disengages from the left through hole 271, the left through hole 271 is opened, the rectangular valve plate 251 closes the right through hole 272, and the right through hole 272 is closed.
[0035] Further, the upper housing 26 is provided with an upper communication cavity 261. The upper communication cavity 261 communicates the upper through hole 262 with the left through hole 271 and the right through hole 272. The lower communication cavity 281 communicates the second communication pipe 22, the air inlet 23, the left through hole 271, and the right through hole 272 with each other.
[0036] Further, referring to Figures 5-8 , a limiting flange 274 is provided at the upper end of the right through hole 272. A valve core assembly 3 is arranged in the right through hole 272. The valve core assembly 3 includes an outer valve core 31. The upper end of the outer valve core 31 is in sealing contact with the limiting flange 274. A plurality of air inlet notches 313 are evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the outer valve core 31. A large spring 32 is sleeved outside the outer valve core 31. The upper end of the large spring 32 is connected to the outer valve core 31. The lower end of the large spring 32 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the right through hole 272. A valve cavity 311 is formed through the center of the outer valve core 31. A piston 33 is slidably sealed in the valve cavity 311. A limiting orifice 312 is provided at the upper end of the valve cavity 311. The limiting orifice 312 communicates the valve cavity 311 above the piston 33 with the upper communication cavity 261.
[0037] Further, a connecting rod 331 is provided at the lower end of the piston 33. The other end of the connecting rod 331 is provided with a circular valve plate 332. The circular valve plate 332 corresponds to the air inlet 23. The movement of the circular valve plate 332 realizes the closing and opening of the air inlet 23.
[0038] Further, a small spring 34 is sleeved outside the connecting rod 331. The other end of the small spring 34 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the valve cavity 311. The elastic force of the small spring 34 is less than the elastic force of the large spring 32.
[0039] Further, the model of the solenoid valve 13 is AIV-50B-L.
[0040] The working process of the present application is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 8 . Before the air compressor 11 is started, the solenoid valve 13 is in an open state. The rectangular valve plate 351 is at the rightmost end. At this time, the left through hole 271 is in an open state, and the right through hole 272 is in a closed state. Then the air compressor 11 is started. The air compressor 11 drives the air to flow in the annular pipeline formed by the air inlet pipe 12, the air compressor 11, the air outlet pipe 15, the first communication pipe 21, the left through hole 271, and the second communication pipe 272. In this way, it can prevent the pressure in the air outlet pipe 15 from being too high when the air compressor 11 is started, causing impact on the air outlet pipe 15 and the solenoid valve 13.
[0041] Then, the servo motor 24 drives the rectangular valve plate 251 to slowly slide to the left, gradually closing the left through-hole 271 and opening the right through-hole 272. At this time, since the right through-hole 272 is blocked by the outer valve core 31, due to the exhaust pressure in the air outlet pipe 15, the driving piston 33 squeezes the small spring 34 and drives the circular valve plate 332 to approach and contact the air inlet 23, and the air inlet 23 is blocked.
[0042] At this time, the regulating assembly 2 is in a closed and disconnected state. The air flows through the filter 14, the solenoid valve 13, the air compressor 11, and the air outlet pipe 15 in the flow path. At this time, the air compressor 11 is in a normal working state. Since the regulating assembly 2 is gradually blocked by the rectangular valve plate 351, the air flow passing through the filter 14, the solenoid valve 13, the air compressor 11, and the air outlet pipe 15 gradually increases and finally works normally.
[0043] When the pressure in the air outlet pipe 15 is too high, that is, the exhaust pressure is too high, the air pressure drives the outer valve core 31 to squeeze the large spring 32, and the outer valve core 31 disengages from the limit flange 274. At this time, the right through-hole 272 is opened, and the gas will flow through the air outlet pipe 15 to the first connecting pipe 21, then through the through-hole 272, the lower connecting cavity 281, the second connecting pipe 22, the air inlet pipe 12, the air compressor 11, and the air outlet pipe 15 to realize circular flow. Thereby reducing the exhaust pressure and preventing the exhaust pressure from being too high, and the elastic force of the large spring 32 limits the maximum exhaust pressure.
[0044] When the exhaust pressure is too low, the pressure in the air outlet pipe 15 decreases. At this time, the pressure borne by the piston 33 decreases, and the small spring 34 drives the piston 33 to move towards the limit orifice 312, thereby driving the circular valve plate 332 to disengage from the air inlet 23, and the air inlet 23 is opened. At this time, air directly enters the lower connecting cavity 281, the second connecting pipe 22, the air inlet pipe 12, and the air compressor 11 from the air inlet 23, thereby increasing the cross-sectional area of the air inlet channel, thereby increasing the air intake and increasing the exhaust pressure of the air outlet pipe 15. The elastic force of the small dry spring 34 limits the minimum exhaust pressure of the air outlet pipe 15.
[0045] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
