[0036] Compared with the prior art, the air compressor provided by the present invention has a flow guide system 2 provided on the air intake duct 1 to adjust the flow direction of the air intake airflow of the air compressor during operation, thereby reducing the turbulence in the air intake airflow of the air compressor and further reducing the negative impact of the turbulence on the air compressor. When adjusting the flow direction of the air intake airflow, the driving mechanism 21 drives the regulating mechanism 22 to rotate, and the regulating mechanism 22 drives the guide vanes 23 to rotate when rotating. The flow guide system 2 adjusts the size and direction of the recent airflow by adjusting the angle of the guide vanes 23, thereby reducing the turbulence in the airflow. At the same time, when the flow guide system 2 adjusts the angle of the guide vanes 23, the surge line of the air compressor moves to the left. Therefore, under normal working conditions, the guide vanes 23 are fully open and consistent with the direction of the airflow. When the working conditions are close to the surge zone or in the surge zone, the guide vanes 23 are adjusted by the flow guide system 2 to adjust the rotation angle so that the air inlet is closed, the intake flow is reduced, and the surge line moves to the left to meet the working conditions.

When the adjustment ring 221 rotates, the rotating shaft 231 of each guide vane 23 is synchronously driven to rotate through each adjustment member 222, thereby synchronously adjusting the angle of the guide vane 23.
[0044] Optionally, the air compressor provided in this embodiment further includes an air outlet pipe 3. The cylinder 211 is connected to the air outlet pipe 3 through a pipe. The cylinder 211 uses the air outlet end of the air compressor as an air source, and there is no need to set up a separate air source for the cylinder 211, thereby simplifying the structure.

At the same time, when the flow guide system 2 adjusts the angle of the guide vanes 23, the surge line of the air compressor moves to the left. Therefore, under normal working conditions, the guide vanes 23 are fully open and consistent with the direction of the airflow. When the working conditions are close to the surge zone or in the surge zone, the guide vanes 23 are adjusted by the flow guide system 2 to adjust the rotation angle so that the air inlet is closed, the intake flow is reduced, and the surge line moves to the left to meet the working conditions.

[0056] Electronic actuators are an essential component of automation systems. Their primary function is to receive control signals from the controller and change the size of the controlled medium, thereby maintaining the controlled variable at the desired value or within a certain range. Electronic actuators can be divided into three categories based on their energy source: pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric. In automation systems, electronic actuators are responsible for converting control signals into actual actions. Depending on the signal type, electronic actuators can be divided into two types: digital actuators and analog actuators. Digital actuators are primarily used to control systems with only two states, such as open or closed, while analog actuators can receive and respond to continuously changing signals, such as 4-20mA current signals, to precisely control the actuator's opening and implement complex functions such as PID control.
