[0005] However, during actual processing and assembly, the valve plate and top cover in the left box need to be connected and sealed correspondingly, and the valve plate and top cover in the right box also need to be connected and sealed correspondingly. Then, two pipes need to be connected between the top covers of the left and right boxes to realize communication between the top of the left box and the top of the right box. The overall structure has many components, high air tightness requirement and inconvenient assembly. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
[0006] The utility model aims at the above problems existing in the prior art and provides an air compressor air inlet and outlet structure to solve the assembly inconvenience of the existing double-cylinder air compressor.
[0007] The utility model discloses a purpose can be realized through the following technical scheme:
[0008] The air inlet and outlet structure of the air compressor includes an integrally-formed valve plate piece in the shape of a long plate, one end of the valve plate piece is connected to the top of the left casing, and the end of the valve plate piece is provided with an air inlet hole one and an air outlet hole one penetratingly formed in the vertical direction and communicating with the inner cavity of the left casing, the other end of the valve plate piece is connected to the top of the right casing, and the other end of the valve plate piece is provided with an air inlet hole two and an air outlet hole two penetratingly formed in the vertical direction and communicating with the inner cavity of the right casing, the top cover one and the top cover two are respectively fixed to the top of the two ends of the valve plate piece, the top cover one is provided with an air inlet one communicating with the air inlet hole one and an air outlet one communicating with the air outlet hole one, the top cover two is provided with an air inlet two communicating with the air inlet hole two and an air outlet two communicating with the air outlet hole two, and the middle part of the valve plate piece is provided with a communication hole one communicating the air inlet hole one and the air inlet hole two and a communication hole two communicating the air outlet hole one and the air outlet hole two.
[0009] The air compressor in the air inlet and outlet structure of the air compressor includes a motor and left and right casings connected to the two sides of the motor, and piston assemblies are arranged in the left and right casings, which are part of the prior art and will not be described herein. When the air inlet and outlet structure of the air compressor works, air can enter the inner cavity of the left casing through the air inlet one and the air inlet hole one in sequence, and the gas in the left casing can be discharged to the outside through the air outlet hole one and the air outlet one in sequence. Meanwhile, at the right casing, air can enter the inner cavity of the right casing through the air inlet two and the air inlet hole two in sequence, and the gas in the right casing can be discharged to the outside through the air outlet hole two and the air outlet two in sequence to ensure normal work, and the top cover one and the top cover two on the top of the left and right casings are connected to each other through the communication hole one and the communication hole two. Therefore, the air inlet and outlet structure of the air compressor uses an integrally-formed valve plate piece to realize the functions of two independent valve plates, two pipelines and the pipeline interfaces on the two top covers in the existing air compressor, reduces the component composition, and further reduces the assembly process, facilitating assembly, and the air tightness of the integrally-formed valve plate piece is better than that of the connected pipelines.
[0010] In the air inlet and outlet structure of the air compressor, the top surface position of the middle part of the valve plate piece is not higher than the top surface positions of the two ends of the valve plate piece. In order to provide sufficient stroke for the internal piston, the height of the left and right casings is often higher than the height of the motor, that is, there is a spacing between the top of the left and right casings, and the middle part of the integrally-formed valve plate piece does not protrude upward, which can make full use of the spacing, making the structure more compact, and the top cover one and the top cover two without connecting pipelines can also be adaptively reduced in height, making the structure of the air compressor using the air inlet and outlet structure of the air compressor more compact and smaller in size.
[0011] In the air inlet and outlet structure of the air compressor, the top cover one has a vertically arranged plate-shaped partition one inside, the bottom surface of the partition one abuts against the top surface of the valve plate and forms a seal, and the air inlet hole one and the air outlet hole one are respectively communicated to both sides of the partition one. The top cover one is divided into two independent cavities by the partition one to supply air inlet and air outlet respectively, avoiding mutual influence.
[0012] In the air inlet and outlet structure of the air compressor, the top cover two has a vertically arranged plate-shaped partition two inside, the bottom surface of the partition two abuts against the top surface of the valve plate and forms a seal, and the air inlet hole two and the air outlet hole two are respectively communicated to both sides of the partition two. Similarly, the air inlet and air outlet are also separated from each other at the top cover two.
[0013] In the air inlet and outlet structure of the air compressor, the bottom of the middle part of the valve plate has two downwardly protruding columnar communication parts, both of which are horizontally arranged, the communication hole one and the communication hole two are respectively arranged in the two communication parts, and both ends of the communication hole one and the communication hole two are arranged to the top surface of the valve plate. The communication hole one and the communication hole two are arranged in the bottom of the valve plate, so that the communication position is lowered, the space is fully utilized, and the structure is more compact.
[0014] In the air inlet and outlet structure of the air compressor, the two communication parts respectively have a communication hole one and a spare hole one communicated with the outside, and a communication hole two and a spare hole two communicated with the outside. The arrangement of the spare hole one and the spare hole two provides preparation for different air inlet and outlet requirements, and the plug can be used for plugging when not in use.
[0015] In the air inlet and outlet structure of the air compressor, both sides of the two ends of the valve plate have downwardly folded flanges. The arrangement of the flanges on both sides of the two ends of the valve plate not only facilitates the positioning and connection of the valve plate during assembly, but also improves the strength of the valve plate.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the air inlet and outlet structure of the air compressor utilizes an integrally formed valve plate to realize the functions of two independent valve plates, two pipelines and pipeline interfaces on two top covers in the prior art air compressor, reduces the component composition, thereby reducing the assembly process, facilitates assembly, and the air tightness of the integrated valve plate is better than that of the additionally connected pipeline.
