[0002] An air compressor is a device that converts mechanical energy into gas pressure energy. It is driven by an electric motor and is used to compress air.

[0003] Compressed air, as a clean power source, drives pneumatic tools, automated equipment, and industrial robots, avoiding the spark risks of electric drives. It is suitable for flammable and explosive environments. Through pneumatic valves and actuators, it can quickly adjust the flow and pressure to meet the needs of precision machining and automated production lines. High-pressure air is used to remove metal shavings and dust from the surface of mechanical parts or particles from electronic components to ensure product quality. In automobile manufacturing, compressed air drives spray guns to achieve uniform coating. In laser cutting, it helps cool the cutting head to prevent overheating.

[0004] Traditional air compression supply systems typically operate with a single air compressor. If the air compressor malfunctions, the air supply can easily be interrupted, affecting production within the workshop. Furthermore, the heat generated during the air compressor compression process is directly released into the environment, which can easily lead to resource waste.

[0005] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art where a single air compressor malfunctions, easily causing an interruption in air supply, and where the heat generated during the air compressor compression process is easily lost. Therefore, this invention proposes a continuous compressed air supply system.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0012] In order to monitor the air pressure inside the shunt pipe, preferably, a second pressure gauge is fixedly installed on the shunt pipe.

[0013] To prevent heat loss from the inside of the connecting pipe, preferably, a heat insulation pipe is fixedly connected to the heat exchange tank, the heat insulation pipe is sleeved on the outside of the connecting pipe, and the end of the heat insulation pipe away from the heat exchange tank is fixedly connected to the air compressor.

[0014] To increase the range of applications of compressed air, preferably, the number of air supply pipes is two to four.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a continuous compressed air supply system, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This continuous compressed air supply system, driven by a motor to rotate the stirring rod, can improve the heat exchange quality of the water flow inside the heat exchange tank, and can also introduce hot water into the workshop using the outlet pipe to achieve heating inside the workshop.

[0017] 2. The continuous compressed air supply system, through the installation of heat insulation pipes, can prevent heat loss from the connecting pipes, thereby improving the heat exchange quality of the heat exchange tank.

It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component centrally located at the same time.

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-4 A continuous compressed air supply system includes an air storage tank 1, on which a first pressure gauge 9 is fixedly installed for monitoring the internal air pressure. The system also includes a dryer 6, which is fixedly connected to the air storage tank 1 via a pipeline. A diverter pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the dryer 6 away from the air storage tank 1. A second pressure gauge 10 is fixedly installed on the diverter pipe 7 for monitoring the internal air pressure. Air supply pipes 8 are fixedly connected to the diverter pipe 7, and the number of air supply pipes 8 is two to four. Preferably, there are four, which can supply air to multiple workshop equipment; a three-way pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the air storage tank 1, wherein the end of the three-way pipe 2 away from the air storage tank 1 is fixedly connected to two connecting pipes 3, the connecting pipe 3 is composed of a bend and a spiral pipe, the spiral pipe is used to improve the heat exchange quality inside the heat exchange tank 5; at least two air compressors 4 are fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe 3 away from the three-way pipe 2, wherein the heat exchange tank 5 is provided on one side of the air compressor 4, the connecting pipe 3 is set inside the heat exchange tank 5, and the heat exchange tank 5 is provided with a stirring component.

[0030] Specifically, by setting up two air compressors 4, it is possible to continue supplying air to the air storage tank 1 even if a single air compressor 4 fails, thus avoiding the impact of air supply interruption on production efficiency. Secondly, by using the heat exchange tank 5, the high-temperature gas produced by the air compressor 4 can be fully utilized, thus avoiding resource waste.

[0031] The stirring component includes a motor 51 fixedly connected to the heat exchange tank 5. The output end of the motor 51 passes through the heat exchange tank 5 and is fixedly connected to a stirring rod 52. A water inlet pipe 53 and a water outlet pipe 54 are fixedly connected to the heat exchange tank 5 respectively. A flange is fixedly connected to the end of the water inlet pipe 53 and the water outlet pipe 54 away from the heat exchange tank 5.

[0032] Specifically, by driving the stirring rod 52 to rotate via the motor 51, the heat exchange quality of the water flow inside the heat exchange tank 5 can be improved, and by using the outlet pipe 54, hot water can be introduced into the workshop to achieve heating inside the workshop.

[0033] A heat exchange tank 5 is fixedly connected to a heat insulation pipe 11, which is sleeved on the outside of the connecting pipe 3. The end of the heat insulation pipe 11 away from the heat exchange tank 5 is fixedly connected to the air compressor 4.

[0034] Specifically, by setting up the heat insulation pipe 11, heat loss from the connecting pipe 3 can be avoided, thereby improving the heat exchange quality of the heat exchange tank 5.

[0035] Working principle: The four air supply pipes 8 can supply air to multiple workshops, facilitating the simultaneous use of compressed gas by multiple workshops. When the first pressure gauge 9 indicates insufficient air pressure inside the air tank 1, two air compressors 4 start simultaneously to supply compressed gas to the air tank 1. When the amount of compressed gas used is small, one of the air compressors 4 can be turned off to reduce energy consumption. Furthermore, if one air compressor 4 malfunctions, the other air compressor 4 will automatically start to avoid interruption of the compressed gas supply. By using the above air supply method, not only can workshop production be avoided due to machine failure, but energy consumption can also be reduced.

[0036] During operation, the compressed gas from the air compressor 4 generates a large amount of heat. When the heated air enters the connecting pipe 3, the connecting pipe 3 transfers the heat to the heat exchange tank 5, heating the water inside. At the same time, the motor 51 drives the stirring rod 52 to rotate, which ensures that the water inside the heat exchange tank 5 is heated evenly. The heated water then flows through the outlet pipe 54 into the heating pipes of each workshop, enabling heating of the workshop and thus achieving waste heat recovery and utilization.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
