[0027] The motor 2 is installed in the rear installation cavity 11 and its output shaft extends into the middle installation cavity 12; the piston assembly 3 is installed in the middle installation cavity 12 and is in transmission connection with the motor 2; the piston assembly 3 includes a crankshaft 33, a first-stage piston 31 and a second-stage piston 32. The crankshaft 33 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 2. The first-stage piston 31 is rotatably connected to the crankshaft 33, and the second-stage piston 32 is pivotally connected to the first-stage piston 31. The middle installation cavity 12 is divided into a first-stage chamber 121, a second-stage chamber 122 and a middle chamber 123 located between the first-stage chamber 121 and the earphone chamber. The first-stage piston 31 reciprocates in the first-stage chamber 121, and the second-stage piston 32 reciprocates in the second-stage chamber 122.

[0029] As Figure 1 shown, during the inflation process, the gas flows through in sequence: atmosphere → air filter 6 → fourth air hole 14 → rear installation cavity 11 → seventh air hole 17 → middle chamber 123 → through hole 125 → first-stage chamber 121 → connecting pipe 124 → air storage tank → second-stage chamber 122 → first air hole 131 → upper cavity 4B → sixth air hole 46 → lower cavity 4B → third air hole 43 → outer tank 5 → fifth air hole 135 → airbag 0; As Figure 2As shown in the figure, during the exhaust process, the gas flows through the following components in sequence: airbag 0 → fifth air hole 135 → outer tank 5 → third air hole 43 → lower cavity 4B → sixth air hole 46 → upper cavity 4B → second air hole 132 → middle chamber 123 → seventh air hole 17 → rear installation cavity 11 → fourth air hole 14 → air filter 6 → the atmosphere. When the air compressor is inflating, high-quality air can be obtained after the atmosphere passes through the air filter and the air dryer, avoiding direct contact between the atmosphere and the internal parts of the compressor, which may cause corrosion and failure of the parts and reduce the service life of the compressor. When the air compressor is exhausting, the second solenoid valve D2 is opened, and the high-pressure gas in the outer tank passes through the air dryer and then back blows the air filter, discharging the particulate dust and various suspended substances collected during the inflation process in the air filter into the atmosphere. In the present utility model, during exhaust, the high-pressure ventilation carries out the water vapor in the air dryer and the dust particles and various suspended substances in the air filter, quickly restoring the moisture absorption performance of the desiccant and the performance of the air filter for filtering particulate dust. It is ensured that in each charging and discharging cycle, the air dryer and the air filter can maximize their functions, improving the working efficiency of the compressor and the service life of the internal components of the compressor.
