[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0033] A water-cooled oil-free air compressor includes at least but not limited to a primary filter 1, a secondary filter 2, a power assembly 3 and a cylinder assembly 4; a primary compression chamber 41 and a secondary compression chamber 42 are provided in the cylinder assembly 4, the primary filter 1 and the secondary filter 2 are respectively connected to the primary compression chamber 41 and the secondary compression chamber 42 through pipelines, and the power assembly 3 is connected to a piston member in the cylinder assembly 4; the power assembly 3 drives the piston member to move to achieve air intake and gas compression.

[0034] Based on the above structure, in this solution, a power component 3 is used to drive the piston to move, so that the gas is simultaneously taken in and compressed in the first-stage compression chamber 41 and the second-stage compression chamber 42; in this solution, only one power component 3 is used, which is lower in cost and occupies less space than the traditional two-stage air compressor which is generally equipped with two compression cylinders.

[0035] As an example, the cylinder assembly 4 is provided with an air intake pipe 43, and the air intake pipe 43 may be provided with an air intake filter 44; the air intake pipe 43 is connected to the primary compression chamber 41 through a pipeline; the piston member may include a primary piston 45, a primary piston rod 46, a secondary piston 47 and a secondary piston rod 48; the primary piston 45 is provided on the primary piston rod 46, the secondary piston 47 is provided on the secondary piston rod 48, and the secondary piston rod 48 is coaxially arranged with the primary piston rod 46, and the secondary piston rod 48 is connected to the end of the primary piston rod 46;

[0036] The primary piston 45 is disposed in the primary compression chamber 41, and the secondary piston 47 is disposed in the secondary compression chamber 42. A sinking groove 49 is provided on the primary piston 45; at least one first channel 410 is provided in the sinking groove 49; the first channel 410 extends through the primary piston 45, and a first flexible valve disc 411 is provided on the end surface of the first channel 410 away from the sinking groove 49; the first flexible valve disc 411 and the first channel 410 form a one-way valve structure.

[0037] Based on the above structure, when the first piston rod moves downward under the drive of the power mechanism, the external gas to be compressed enters the first-level compression chamber 41 at the upper part of the first piston from the intake pipe 43. During the downward movement, the first flexible valve plate 411 is closed, and the gas will not pass through the first flexible valve plate 411 from the first compression chamber at the lower part of the first piston to enter the first-level compression chamber 41 at the upper part of the first piston; first-level air intake is achieved; when the first piston rod moves upward under the drive of the power mechanism, the first flexible valve plate 411 is automatically opened by the gas compression pressure in the first-level compression chamber 41 at the upper part of the first piston, so that the gas in the first-level compression chamber 41 at the upper part of the first piston passes through the first channel 410 into the first-level compression chamber 41 at the lower part of the first piston.

[0038] As an example, a second channel 412 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder assembly, and a first one-way valve 413 is connected to the second channel 412. The first one-way valve 413 is connected to the primary filter 1 through a pipeline;

[0039] Based on the above structure, when the first-level compression chamber 41 at the lower part of the first piston is filled with the gas to be compressed, when the first piston rod moves downward, the gas to be compressed will flow to the second channel 412. When the opening pressure of the first one-way valve 413 is reached, the gas will pass through the second channel 412 and the first one-way valve 413 and enter the first-level filter 1, and be carried out in the first-level filter 1.

[0040] As an example, the first-stage filter 1 is connected to the upper end position of the cylinder assembly through the first air duct 5. A third channel 414 is provided in the cylinder assembly, and the third channel 414 is connected to the secondary compression chamber 42. A secondary valve plate 415 is provided on the contact surface between the third channel 414 and the secondary compression chamber 42; a fourth channel 416 is provided in the center of the secondary valve plate 415, and a second one-way valve 417 is provided on the fourth channel 416; a fifth channel 418 is provided in the cylinder assembly and is connected to the second one-way valve 417.

[0041] Based on the above structure, when the second piston rod moves downward, the gas enters the cylinder assembly from the first-level filter 1 and the first air guide pipe 5, and finally enters the second compression chamber through the third channel 414 and the secondary valve plate 415. When the second piston rod moves upward, the gas enters the one-way valve from the second compression chamber through the fourth channel 416, and then is discharged from the cylinder assembly through the fifth channel 418.

[0042] As an example, a sixth channel 419 and a pressure relief valve 420 are further provided on the cylinder assembly. The sixth channel 419 is connected to the fifth channel 418 , and the pressure relief valve 420 is provided at the end position of the sixth channel 419 .

[0043] Based on the above structure, the safety inside can be ensured by setting the pressure relief valve 420. When the pressure is too high, the pressure relief valve 420 will be opened first to avoid damage to subsequent devices.

[0044] As an example, a second air duct 6 is provided outside the fifth channel 418 , and the second air duct 6 is connected to the secondary filter 2 and the cylinder assembly respectively.

[0045] Based on the above structure, the gas after secondary compression enters the secondary filter 2 and is finally discharged outward from the secondary filter 2.

[0046] As an example, a water cooling system is also included; the water cooling system may include a water tank 71 and a radiator 72, the water tank 71 is connected to the water inlet 73 of the cylinder assembly through a first pipeline, and the water outlet 74 of the cylinder assembly is connected to the radiator 72 through a second pipeline.

[0047] Based on the above structure, the cylinder assembly cools down the internal first compression chamber and the second compression chamber through the water channel to ensure the stability of the cylinder assembly, extend the overall service life, and enable it to be used for continuous compression. In the existing technology, most of the air cooling structures are used. The air cooling structure can only cool the outside, and the cooling effect is not significant enough. The internal heating area cannot be dissipated by air cooling, which will cause the existing air compression device to be unable to operate for a long time and needs to be cooled. The water cooling structure specially set up in this scheme can continuously and uninterruptedly cool the internal heating area, and finally dissipate heat through the radiator 72 to ensure the stability of the internal water temperature.

[0048] As an example, a first water-cooling chamber 75 is provided on the outside of the first compression chamber; the first water-cooling chamber 75 covers the entire first compression chamber, and a second water-cooling chamber 76 is provided on the outside of the second compression chamber; the second water-cooling chamber 76 covers the entire second compression chamber, and a connecting groove 77 is provided between the first water-cooling chamber 75 and the second water-cooling chamber 76; the second water-cooling chamber 76 is connected to the water outlet 74 through a pipeline.

[0049] Based on the above structure, the liquid enters the first water-cooling chamber 75 through the first pipeline. The heat generated by the piston movement is mainly concentrated in the first compression chamber and the second compression chamber. The cooling liquid exchanges heat with the first compression chamber in the first water-cooling chamber to reduce the temperature of the first compression chamber. Then, the cooling liquid enters the second water-cooling chamber 76 through the connecting groove 77. The cooling liquid exchanges heat with the second compression chamber in the second water-cooling chamber 76 to reduce the temperature of the second compression chamber. Finally, the cooling liquid is discharged from the cylinder assembly through the water outlet 74.

[0050] As an example, the power assembly 3 may include a reduction motor 31, a crankshaft 32, a sliding plate 33 and a guide box 34; the crankshaft 32 is arranged on the output part of the reduction motor 31, the guide box 34 is arranged at the bottom position of the cylinder assembly, the piston is connected to the bottom position of the sliding plate 33, guide rods 35 are arranged on both sides of the sliding plate 33, and a slide groove 36 for limiting the guide rod 35 is arranged in the guide box 34, and the slide groove 36 is arranged vertically.

[0051] A sliding shaft groove 37 is provided in the sliding plate 33 . The crankshaft 32 is an L-shaped structure as a whole. One end of the crankshaft 32 is connected to the output end of the reduction motor 31 , and the other end is slidably provided in the sliding shaft groove through a rotating bearing 38 .

[0052] Based on the above structure, the reduction motor 31 rotates, driving the crankshaft 32 to move. The crankshaft 32 rotates so that the rotating bearing 38 reciprocates in the sliding shaft groove, and drives the entire sliding plate 33 to move up and down along the direction of the sliding groove 36, and finally drives the piston member to reciprocate, realizing the synchronous driving of the first piston rod and the second piston rod.

[0053] Cooling water is stored in a water tank 71 (which can also be other cooling liquids). A pump inside this tank pumps water through a water pipe into the first water-cooling chamber 75, cooling the primary cylinder. The water then flows through a water channel into the second water-cooling chamber, cooling the secondary cylinder liner. The water cools the primary and secondary cylinders, raising its temperature. The heated water then flows through the water pipe into the water-cooling radiator 72, where it dissipates heat. The cooled water then flows through the pipe into the water tank 71, where it circulates and cools the compressor.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
