Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air compressor technology, and in particular to an air compressor with duct antifreeze. Background Technology
[0002] An air compressor is a device used to compress gas. Air compressors are similar in construction to water pumps. Most air compressors are reciprocating piston type, rotary vane type, or rotary screw type. Based on their working principle, they can be divided into three main categories: positive displacement type, dynamic type (speed type or turbine type), and thermal type compressors. Air compressors require antifreeze measures for their piping when operating in extremely cold environments.
[0003] As shown in the reference case "An antifreeze device for air compressor outlet water pipe" announcement number "CN220539809U", the antifreeze device is easy to install and disassemble by setting a connecting pipe head, mounting groove and pressure plate. A metal heat-conducting pipe is set on the outside of the compressor outlet water pipe by setting the mounting groove, so that hot wastewater flows from the water inlet to the water outlet. The metal heat-conducting pipe is heated to prevent the compressor outlet water pipe from freezing. An antifreeze layer is set on the inner wall of the shell to better keep warm in low temperature environment, reduce the expansion and contraction of the pipe caused by freezing and thawing, and prevent the pipe from breaking.
[0004] According to the above reference materials, the metal heat-conducting pipe around the outside of the compressor outlet pipe in the above device heats the metal heat-conducting pipe by allowing hot wastewater to flow from the inlet to the outlet, thus preventing the compressor outlet pipe from freezing. A shell is set on the outside of the metal heat-conducting pipe, and an antifreeze layer is set on the inner wall of the shell. However, when the air compressor discharges condensate, the metal heat-conducting pipe comes into contact with the condensate, which lowers the temperature of the pipe and affects the antifreeze effect of the pipe. This makes it inconvenient to effectively prevent the pipe from freezing and reduces the performance of the air compressor. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an air compressor with pipe antifreeze to address the problem of inconvenience in effectively preventing pipes from freezing.
[0006] The compressor includes a compressor body, one side of which is connected to a water outlet pipe. A mounting block is installed at one end of the outer wall of the water outlet pipe, and a heating mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the water outlet pipe. The heating mechanism includes two heating rods installed on the inner wall of the mounting block. A heat-conducting block is provided at the bottom end of each heating rod. A conductive ring is provided at one end of the mounting block. One end of the heat-conducting block passes through the mounting block and is fixedly connected to the conductive ring. An installation assembly is provided on the inner wall of the mounting block.
[0007] In one embodiment, the heating mechanism further includes a heat insulation layer fixedly connected to one end of the mounting block, the heat insulation layer being sleeved on the outer wall of the water outlet pipe, and a heat-conducting layer being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heat insulation layer.
[0008] In one embodiment, one end of each of the two heat-conducting blocks and the conductive ring are disposed on the inner wall of the heat-conducting layer.
[0009] In one embodiment, a heat insulation layer is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heat-conducting layer.
[0010] In one embodiment, a waterproof layer is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the insulation layer.
[0011] In one embodiment, the mounting assembly includes a clamping block slidably connected to one side of the inner wall of the mounting block, and a fixing bolt is threaded to one side of the mounting block, one end of which passes through the mounting block and is rotatably connected to the clamping block.
[0012] In one embodiment, two guide rods are fixedly connected to one side of the clamping block, and the guide rods are slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting block. The two guide rods are respectively disposed on both sides of the fixing bolt.
[0013] In one embodiment, a PLC controller is mounted on the top of the mounting block, and a temperature sensor is mounted on one end of the top of the PLC controller. Beneficial effects
[0014] 1. The above-mentioned air compressor with antifreeze pipes has an installation block that installs an insulation layer, a heat-conducting layer, a heat-insulating layer, and a waterproof layer on the outer wall of the water outlet pipe. This can insulate and prevent the water outlet pipe from freezing. The heating rod heats the pipe after being powered on and transfers the heat to the heat-conducting block. The heat-conducting block and the conduction ring work together to heat the water outlet pipe. The conduction ring is evenly wrapped inside the heat-conducting layer, which can evenly heat the water outlet pipe and keep its temperature stable. The insulation layer and the heat-insulating layer can reduce heat loss and insulate and prevent the water outlet pipe from freezing. The waterproof layer can prevent water and moisture. This can evenly heat the air compressor pipe and insulate and prevent the pipe from freezing.
[0015] 2. The mounting block is installed on the water outlet pipe. The fixing bolts, in conjunction with the mounting block, can move the clamping block to one side to clamp and fix the mounting block. When the clamping block moves, the two guide rods move with it, which can position and support the clamping block, improving the stability of the clamping block's movement. The temperature sensor is a thermistor temperature sensor. The PLC controller, in conjunction with the temperature sensor, can detect the external temperature and drive the heating rod to heat it, which can prevent the air compressor pipeline from freezing and keep it warm.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] The following is combined with Figures 1-5 This invention describes a pipe-resistant air compressor.
[0026] In one embodiment, an air compressor with duct antifreeze includes a compressor body 100. A water outlet pipe 200 is connected to one side of the bottom of the compressor body 100. An installation block 300 is installed at one end of the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 200. A heating mechanism 400 is provided on the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 200. The heating mechanism 400 includes two heating rods 410 installed on the inner wall of the installation block 300. A heat-conducting block 420 is provided at the bottom end of the heating rods 410. A conductive ring 430 is provided at one end of the installation block 300. One end of the heat-conducting block 420 passes through the installation block 300 and is fixedly connected to the conductive ring 430. An installation assembly 480 is provided on the inner wall of the installation block 300.
[0027] It should be noted that the air compressor is composed of...
[0028] Cylinder: As a compression chamber, it compresses gas by changing the volume through piston movement.
[0029] Piston: It reciprocates inside the cylinder, directly compressing the gas.
[0030] Crankshaft connecting rod mechanism: converts rotary motion into reciprocating motion of the piston.
[0031] Intake valve and exhaust valve: control the intake and exhaust of gas respectively to achieve periodic compression.
[0032] Cooling system: Reduces operating temperature through heat dissipation devices to ensure equipment stability.
[0033] Lubrication system: Reduces friction between moving parts and extends service life.
[0034] The pipes are installed on the air compressor, which discharges condensate through the pipes. The heating mechanism 400, in conjunction with the heating rod 410, heat-conducting block 420, and conductive ring 430, can heat the outlet pipe 200. The insulation layer 440, heat insulation layer 460, and waterproof layer 470 work together to insulate the outlet pipe 200. The mounting component 480, through the temperature sensor 485, can detect the temperature of the external environment. The heating mechanism 400, in conjunction with the mounting component 480, can improve the antifreeze effect of the air compressor pipes without affecting the normal use of the air compressor.
[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the heating mechanism 400 also includes a heat insulation layer 440 fixedly connected to one end of the mounting block 300. The heat insulation layer 440 is sleeved on the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 200. A heat-conducting layer 450 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heat insulation layer 440. One end of the two heat-conducting blocks 420 and the conductive ring 430 are both disposed on the inner wall of the heat-conducting layer 450. A heat insulation layer 460 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heat-conducting layer 450. A waterproof layer 470 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heat insulation layer 460.
[0036] In this embodiment, the insulation layer 440 on the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 200 can keep the water outlet pipe 200 warm. One end of the heat-conducting block 420 is in contact with the heating rod 410 after being heated by electricity, which can conduct heat to the conduction ring 430. The conduction ring 430 can quickly heat up the heat-conducting layer 450 and heat the water outlet pipe 200. The heat insulation layer 460 can reduce the dissipation of heat inside the heat-conducting layer 450 and keep the water outlet pipe 200 warm. The waterproof layer 470 can prevent water and moisture, protect the water outlet pipe 200, heat the air compressor pipe, and improve the antifreeze effect of the pipe.
[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the mounting assembly 480 includes a clamping block 481 slidably connected to one side of the inner wall of the mounting block 300. A fixing bolt 482 is threadedly connected to one side of the mounting block 300. One end of the fixing bolt 482 passes through the mounting block 300 and is rotatably connected to the clamping block 481. Two guide rods 483 are fixedly connected to one side of the clamping block 481. The guide rods 483 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting block 300. The two guide rods 483 are respectively located on both sides of the fixing bolt 482. A PLC controller 484 is mounted on the top of the mounting block 300. A temperature sensor 485 is mounted on one end of the top of the PLC controller 484.
[0038] In this embodiment, the mounting block 300 drives the heating mechanism 400 to be installed on the water outlet pipe 200. By rotating the fixing bolt 482 and threading it with the mounting block 300, the clamping block 481 can be driven to contact the water outlet pipe 200, which can fix the mounting block 300. The two guide rods 483 can support and guide the clamping block 481. The PLC controller 484 can drive and control the heating rod 410 and the temperature sensor 485. The temperature sensor 485 can detect the temperature of the external environment and improve the antifreeze effect of the air compressor pipeline.
[0039] Working principle: The mounting block 300 drives the insulation layer 440 to be installed on the water outlet pipe 200. The fixing bolt 482 is manually rotated and threaded to the mounting block 300, which drives the clamping block 481 to fix the mounting block 300. The temperature sensor 485 detects the external temperature. When the temperature is lower than the preset threshold, the PLC controller 484 supplies power to the heating rod 410 for heating. The heating rod 410 contacts the heat conducting block 420 and can conduct heat to the conducting ring 430. The conducting ring 430 and the heat conducting layer 450 cooperate to heat the water outlet pipe 200 evenly. The insulation layer 440 can keep the water outlet pipe 200 warm. The heat insulation layer 460 can further improve the antifreeze effect of the water outlet pipe 200. The waterproof layer 470 protects the water outlet pipe 200.
[0040] It should be noted that the heating rod 410, PLC controller 484, and temperature sensor 485 mentioned above are all devices with relatively mature existing technology. The specific model can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the heating rod 410, PLC controller 484, and temperature sensor 485 can be powered by the built-in power supply or by the mains power. The specific power supply method should be selected according to the situation, which will not be elaborated here.
[0041] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
