Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air compressor technology, and more specifically, to a compact compressed air station. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, mainstream compressed air station systems on the market consist of various devices such as air compressors, air tanks, refrigerated dryers, filters, drainers, and waste oil collectors connected by a piping system. These systems generally suffer from unreasonable structures, high vibration and noise levels, and large footprints. Many companies assemble these devices into container-like units, which also occupy a large space and have poor heat dissipation. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies that require a large footprint, and to propose a compact compressed air station with a compact structure, small footprint, and good heat dissipation.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this solution provides a compact compressed air station, comprising a chassis and a compressor head assembly, a first cooling assembly, an air tank, and a gas processing assembly disposed within the chassis and connected in sequence. The chassis has a first partition dividing the interior into upper and lower layers. The lower layer of the chassis forms a first chamber. The upper layer of the chassis has a second partition and a third partition perpendicularly connected to the first partition, thereby dividing the upper layer of the chassis into a second chamber and a third chamber. The first chamber is adjacent to both the second and third chambers. The compressor head assembly and the air tank are located in the first chamber. The first cooling assembly is located on the second partition between the first and second chambers to cool the first chamber. The gas processing assembly is located in the third chamber.
[0005] In this technical solution, the two larger devices, the compressor head assembly and the air tank, are placed in the lower first chamber, while the two smaller devices, the first cooling assembly and the gas processing assembly, are located in the upper chamber, forming an upper and lower layout. This makes the overall structure more compact, thereby reducing the footprint of the chassis. Multiple partitions divide the internal space of the chassis into several parts, integrating the components of the air compression system into the chassis, achieving the most compact spatial layout between the components and improving the space utilization rate within the chassis. The first chamber, where the air tank is located, is adjacent to the second and third chambers, facilitating the connection between devices and reducing the length of the air pipes. By placing the first cooling assembly on the second partition between the first and second chambers, the compressor head assembly in the first chamber can be cooled more quickly, resulting in a better cooling effect.
[0006] During operation, the compressor head assembly compresses the air and passes the compressed gas into the storage tank for storage. During this process, the first cooling assembly cools the compressed gas and the compressor head assembly. Subsequently, the compressed gas enters the gas processing assembly from the outlet of the storage tank for processing and is then ready for use. The gas processing assembly can cool, filter, and dry the compressed gas. The gas processing assembly is existing technology.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the chassis has an air inlet on one side that communicates with the first chamber, and an air outlet on the top that communicates with the second chamber. Cooling air enters the first chamber through the air inlet, part of the gas enters the compressor head assembly for compression, and the other part of the gas cools the compressor head assembly. Then, it is guided by the first cooling assembly to the second chamber, and finally discharged through the air outlet on the top of the chassis, forming a cooling channel with good cooling effect.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the compressor head assembly includes a drive unit, an actuator, an air intake unit, and an oil-gas separator. The power output end of the drive unit is connected to the actuator via a connecting device. The air intake unit is connected to the air inlet of the actuator. The air outlet of the oil-gas separator is connected to the air inlet of the first cooling component of the air storage tank. The air outlet of the first cooling component is connected to the air inlet of the air storage tank. This compressor head assembly is existing technology. During operation, air in the first chamber is filtered by the air intake unit and then enters the actuator. The power output end of the drive unit drives the actuator to compress the air. The compressed air then enters the oil-gas separator, where it separates oil molecules from the compressed air, ensuring the purity of the discharged compressed air. The oil molecules condense into oil droplets that fall to the bottom of the oil-gas separator.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the second partition is further provided with a second cooling component arranged parallel to the first cooling component. The oil inlet of the oil-gas separator is connected to the oil outlet of the actuator, the oil inlet of the second cooling component is connected to the oil outlet of the oil-gas separator, and the oil outlet of the second cooling component is connected to the oil inlet of the actuator. During operation, relying on the suction force generated by the actuator itself, the lubricating oil is sent to the second cooling component through the pipeline for cooling. The second cooling component is used to cool the oil molecules separated by the oil-gas separator and then transport them to the actuator through the pipeline connected to the oil outlet of the second cooling component and the oil inlet of the actuator, providing cooling and lubrication for the actuator.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the first cooling component and the second cooling component have the same structure and both include a heat sink and a cooling fan. Each heat sink is disposed on the second partition and connected to the respective cooling fan. The pipe between the oil-gas separator and the gas storage tank is connected to the heat sink of the first cooling component, and the pipe between the oil-gas separator and the drive device and the actuator is connected to the heat sink of the second cooling component. The heat sink is made of a thermally conductive material. The first cooling component and the second cooling component form two air-cooling channels to cool the compressed gas and lubricating oil respectively. The heat from the compressed gas and lubricating oil is conducted to each heat sink, and then the heat is transferred from each heat sink to the cooling air. The cooling fan exhausts the heated air from the air outlet at the top of the chassis.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the second chamber is further provided with a fifth partition, which is disposed between the first cooling component and the second cooling component to separate the first cooling component and the second cooling component. After the fifth partition separates the first cooling component and the second cooling component, it can reduce the airflow disturbance between the first cooling component and the second cooling component, accelerate the gas flow, and thus improve the cooling effect.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the gas processing assembly includes a first filter, a drying device, and a second filter connected in sequence, and also includes a heat exchange device. The outlet of the gas storage tank is connected to the first filter via a pipe, and the outlet of the second filter is connected to the outlet on the side wall of the chassis via a pipe. The heat exchange device is connected to the drying device via a heat exchange pipe. The gas processing assembly is existing technology. The gas processing assembly can process the compressed gas from the gas storage tank, and further cool the compressed gas to reduce the dew point and excess moisture condensation, ensuring the cleanliness and dryness of the compressed gas. During operation, the compressed gas enters the drying device after being filtered by the first filter, and at the same time, the heat exchange device further cools the compressed gas in the drying device. The dried compressed gas is then filtered by the second filter and is ready for use.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment, in order to improve the cooling effect of the third chamber, the side wall and top of the chassis are respectively provided with air inlets and air outlets communicating with the third chamber.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the heat exchange device is located at the top of the third chamber, and the position of the heat exchange device corresponds to the air outlet at the top of the chassis. Cooling air enters the third chamber from the side wall of the chassis, passes through the heat exchange device, and is discharged from the air outlet at the top of the chassis.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the system further includes a control box located within the chassis. A fourth partition is vertically connected to one side of the first partition. The fourth partition is connected to the third partition to form a fourth chamber. The fourth chamber is adjacent to both the first and third chambers. The control box is located in the fourth chamber and is electrically connected to the compressor head assembly, the first cooling assembly, the gas storage tank, and the gas processing assembly. The first and third partitions, along with the inner wall of the chassis, completely isolate the fourth chamber. Since the fourth chamber is adjacent to both the first and third chambers, the wiring harness connection length between the control box and each device can be shortened, resulting in a more compact structure.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. This utility model uses a first partition to create an upper and lower layout inside the chassis, making the overall structure more compact and reducing the footprint of the chassis. Multiple partitions divide the space inside the chassis into several parts, integrating the components of the air compression system into the chassis, so that the spatial layout between the components reaches the most compact state and improves the space utilization rate inside the chassis.
[0018] 2. By placing the first cooling component and the second cooling component on the second partition between the first chamber and the second chamber, not only can the compressor head assembly in the first chamber be cooled more quickly, but the compressed gas and lubricating oil can also be cooled separately.
[0019] 3. By placing the control box adjacent to the first and second chambers, this utility model can shorten the wiring harness connection length between the control box and each device, making the structure more compact. Attached Figure Description
