Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compressor technology, and in particular to a piston rod protection device for a piston compressor. Background Technology
[0002] It is difficult to completely seal the cylinder of a reciprocating compressor from the outside air. If the wear of the packing and piston rod is aggravated, the production stability will be affected. At the same time, it will increase the risk of leakage, pollute the environment, and increase the cost of equipment management due to frequent maintenance by users.
[0003] The piston's casting process, material selection, and the piston force during operation determine that its weight cannot be reduced to an ideal state. If the compressor requires a large air volume, it will inevitably result in an excessively long piston rod and an increased piston weight. Due to the crankshaft's circular motion combined with the reciprocating motion of the heavier piston, the packing seal area feels as if it is being constantly "sawed" back and forth by the piston rod. If the compressed gas contains corrosive or impurity particles, it will bring a high risk of leakage and frequent maintenance. Most importantly, it will disrupt continuous and stable production, affecting the user's planned production achievement rate.
[0004] Based on the above reasons, this utility model designs a piston rod protection device for a piston compressor. Utility Model Content
