AI Technical Summary
In traditional two-stage compressors used in automotive air suspensions, the first and second stage pistons cannot move linearly at the same frequency, resulting in uneven stress on the piston cups and thus a shorter service life.
The compressor piston connecting rod mechanism adopts a split-type first and second stage piston design. Through the design of two pistons and connecting plates arranged opposite each other, and with the cooperation of eccentric shaft and pin, the non-linear reciprocating motion of the piston is realized, which reduces interference and friction noise and extends the service life of the piston cup.
This achieves uniform radial force distribution on the piston cups, reduces friction noise, extends the service life of the piston cups, and lowers manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compressor technology, specifically to a piston connecting rod mechanism for a compressor with a split primary and secondary piston system. Background Technology
[0002] Existing single-stage air compressors have a simple structure, low operating costs, and are relatively easy to maintain. They also offer high air compression efficiency, producing high-quality compressed air. However, single-stage air compressors rely on a single compressor head, which may not meet some high-pressure requirements. Furthermore, the single-stage compressor head has a relatively short lifespan and needs periodic replacement.
[0003] Two-stage compressors have two compressor heads, enabling them to provide a higher compression ratio and produce higher pressure air. Additionally, two-stage compressor heads have a longer service life than single-stage compressor heads.
[0004] Currently, traditional two-stage compressors used in automotive air suspension have the following technical problems: the first and second stage pistons cannot move linearly at the same frequency, the piston cups are subjected to uneven force, and their service life is relatively short. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, a separate piston and connecting rod mechanism for a compressor with a first and second stage piston is provided. This addresses the problems of traditional two-stage compressors used in automotive air suspensions, where the first and second stage pistons cannot move linearly at the same frequency, the piston cups experience uneven stress, and the service life is relatively short.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a first- and second-stage piston-connecting rod mechanism for a compressor is provided, comprising:
[0007] Two pistons are arranged opposite each other, with a cup installed on the opposite side of each piston. Connecting plates extend from the opposite sides of each piston and fit together. One end of the connecting plate of one piston is connected to the middle of the connecting plate of the other piston. Insertion holes are opened in the middle of the connecting plate of one piston and one end of the connecting plate of the other piston.
[0008] A drive shaft for transmitting power to a motor is eccentrically connected to the drive shaft, and the eccentric shaft is rotatably inserted into the insertion hole of the connecting plate of the two pistons.
[0009] Furthermore, one end of the connecting plate of one piston is pivotally connected to the middle of the connecting plate of the other piston.
[0010] Furthermore, a first through hole is provided at one end of the connecting plate of the first piston, and a second through hole is provided in the middle of the connecting plate of the other piston. The second through hole is coaxially arranged with the first through hole, and a pin is rotatably inserted through the first through hole and the second through hole.
[0011] Furthermore, a bushing is fitted onto the pin.
[0012] Furthermore, the piston has two connecting plates, which are arranged opposite to each other, and the connecting plate on the other piston is arranged between the two connecting plates of the first piston.
[0013] Furthermore, the eccentric shaft is rotatably inserted into the insertion hole of the connecting plate on the piston via a bearing.
[0014] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that the piston connecting rod mechanism of the compressor with a split first and second stage piston design reduces mutual interference between the two pistons.
[0015] The first and second stage pistons of the compressor piston connecting rod mechanism of this utility model perform non-linear reciprocating motion, and the radial force on the piston cup will not change abruptly. On the one hand, it reduces friction noise, and on the other hand, it extends the service life of the piston cup.
[0016] This utility model features a split-stage piston compressor piston connecting rod mechanism with a separate drive shaft, eccentric shaft, and connecting plate, resulting in low manufacturing cost and convenient maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0035] Leather cups 11 are respectively installed on the opposite sides of the two pistons 1. For details, see [link to details]. Figure 4 As shown, the cup 11 is mounted on the piston 1 via a pressure ring 15, a valve plate 16, and a screw 17.
[0036] Two pistons 1 extend opposite sides to form connecting plates 12. The connecting plates 12 on the two pistons 1 fit together. One end of the connecting plate 12 of one piston 1 is pivotally connected to the middle of the connecting plate 12 of the other piston 1. Insertion holes are respectively provided in the middle of the connecting plate 12 of one piston 1 and one end of the connecting plate 12 of the other piston 1.
