Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waterproof technology, and more specifically, to a waterproof air compressor. Background Technology
[0002] In existing air compressor technology, traditional air compressor equipment generally lacks effective waterproof protection mechanisms. This deficiency brings certain safety hazards and usage limitations. When air compressors are used in outdoor operating environments or open factories, rainwater can seep into the air compressor's interior in adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, and smog. This water can directly contact the motor, control circuits, sensors, and other precision electrical components, leading to electrical faults such as short circuits, leakage, and decreased insulation performance. Moisture intrusion can also accelerate the oxidation and corrosion process of metal parts, causing rust and damage to core mechanical components such as the compressor cylinder, piston, and connecting rod, affecting the equipment's sealing performance and compression efficiency. Moisture can also accumulate in air pipelines, affecting the quality and purity of compressed air and damaging downstream air-using equipment. Due to the lack of waterproof protection, the service life of existing air compressors in humid environments is shortened, and the frequency of maintenance increases. This not only increases the company's operating costs and maintenance burden but also affects the continuity and stability of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 5A waterproof air compressor includes an air compressor 11 with two sets of connecting rods 12 on its upper surface. It also includes a waterproof mechanism comprising a connecting ring 21 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting rods 12. A top spring 22 is provided on the upper surface of the connecting ring 21, and a connecting sleeve 23 is connected to the other end of the top spring 22. A rotating sleeve 24 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the connecting sleeve 23. Multiple sets of sliding rods 25 are provided on the sidewall of the connecting ring 21. Multiple sets of rotating grooves 26 adapted to the sliding rods 25 are formed on the surface of the rotating sleeve 24. Multiple sets of adjusting grooves 27 are formed on the surface of the rotating sleeve 24, and a limiting plate 28 is slidably connected within the adjusting groove 27. Both ends of the limiting plate 28 are connected to… There are multiple sets of connecting springs 29, the other end of which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the adjusting groove 27. A connecting rod 210 is slidably connected inside the connecting sleeve 23. A push spring 211 is provided on the lower end face of the connecting rod 210. The other end of the push spring 211 is connected to an insert block 212. Multiple sets of circular grooves 213 are opened on the side wall of the connecting sleeve 23. A locking rod 214 is slidably connected inside the circular grooves 213. Multiple sets of locking slots 215 that are adapted to the locking rod 214 are opened on the surface of the connecting rod 210. One end of the locking rod 214 abuts against the inner side wall of the rotating sleeve 24, and the other end is embedded in the locking slot 215. A support rod 13 is connected to the upper end face of the connecting rod 210. A waterproof cover 14 is provided on the upper end face of the support rod 13.
[0019] When installing the waterproof cover 14 on the air compressor 11, the operator first needs to rotate the rotating sleeve 24, causing the sliding rod 25 to rotate from one side of the rotating groove 26 to the other, so that the position of the limiting plate 28 corresponds to the position of the locking rod 214 on the connecting sleeve 23. Then, the connecting rod 210, together with the support rod 13, is inserted into the connecting sleeve 23. At the beginning of the insertion, the connecting rod 210 pushes the locking rod 214 in the circular groove 213 outward, and the locking rod 214 slides outward. The other end of the locking rod 214 abuts against the limiting plate 28, thereby pushing the limiting plate 28 outward. At this time, the connecting spring 29 is stretched, and the connecting rod 210 continues to move downward until the locking groove 215 corresponds to the locking rod 214. The connecting spring 29 rebounds, causing the limiting plate 28 to return to its original position, thereby pushing the locking rod 214 inward. The locking rod 214 then... One end is inserted into the slot 215 to lock the connecting rod 210 and the connecting sleeve 23. At this time, the operator rotates the rotating sleeve 24, and the sliding rod 25 slides back to the initial side from the other side of the rotating groove 26. At this time, the limiting plate 28 disengages from the locking rod 214, and the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 24 abuts against the locking rod 214 to fix the locking rod 214, thereby fixing the support rod 13 together with the waterproof cover 14. When it is necessary to disassemble the waterproof cover 14, the operator rotates the rotating sleeve 24 to make the limiting plate 28 and the locking rod 214 correspond in position, and pulls the connecting rod 210 outward. The locking rod 214 is squeezed and pushes the limiting plate 28 outward again, and the locking rod 214 is released from the slot 215 until the connecting rod 210 is pulled out. At this time, the waterproof cover 14 can be disassembled.
