Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of air compressor technology, specifically a cleaning structure for an air compressor. Background Technology
[0002] An air compressor, also known as an air compressor, is a device used to compress gases. Air compressors are similar in construction to water pumps. Most air compressors are reciprocating piston, rotary vane, or rotary screw types. During operation, the fan shroud of an air compressor accumulates a significant amount of dust, thus requiring a cleaning mechanism.
[0003] Patent CN222276872U discloses a cleaning structure for air compressors. This structure uses two second motors to enable two air outlet rings to clean the front and back of a second air shroud. After the second air shroud is cleaned, the first motor is activated, causing the crossbar to rotate 180 degrees. At this point, the second air shroud is positioned at one end of the air inlet pipe, and the cleaning components then clean the first air shroud. This process requires no manual cleaning and is highly efficient. However, during use, the debris removed by this cleaning structure can be re-adheded to the air shroud surface when the air compressor is running, indicating room for improvement in cleaning effectiveness and a relatively low cost-effectiveness.
