Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional compressors face limited heat dissipation capabilities, leading to overheating and performance degradation, with existing solutions either increasing manufacturing costs or requiring additional components.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If additional cooling devices are added outside the pneumatic cylinder to enhance heat dissipation, then heat dissipation ability is improved, but manufacturing cost greatly increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the cooling function with the existing pneumatic cylinder structure by integrating cooling channels directly into the cylinder body, valve plate, and cover. This eliminates the need for separate external cooling devices while maintaining effective heat dissipation, thereby improving heat dissipation ability without significantly increasing manufacturing cost.
Solution Approach 2:
The pneumatic cylinder components (cylinder body, valve plate, cover) are designed to serve multiple functions: they not only perform the gas compression function but also integrate the cooling function through embedded channels. This multi-functionality allows the same components to provide both mechanical work and heat dissipation, avoiding additional costs from separate cooling devices.
2Device complexity
If conventional heat dissipation fins are used on the pneumatic cylinder, then the structure remains simple, but heat dissipation ability is limited causing overheating
Solution Approach 1:
The cooling function is segmented into multiple channels distributed across different components (cylinder body, valve plate, cover). These channels are arranged in series to form a complete cooling path, allowing heat to be dissipated from multiple locations simultaneously while maintaining structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
Coolant acts as an intermediary substance that flows through the integrated channels in the cylinder components, absorbing heat from the pneumatic cylinder and transferring it away from the compression chamber. This intermediary cooling fluid enables effective heat dissipation without requiring complex external cooling structures.

AI summary
A compressor includes a motor body having a gas compressing motor, at least a pneumatic cylinder for compressing gas, and at least a cooling fan. The pneumatic cylinder comprises a cylinder support arranged on top of the compressing motor, a valve panel arranged on top of the cylinder support, a cylinder cover provided on top of the valve panel, and a piston connecting rod body slidably connected with the cylinder support. The heat dissipating channels, the gas channels, and the heat dissipating passages are arranged in series to jointly form a heat dissipation path, such that when the piston connecting rod body is driven by the compressing motor to conduct a gas compressing process in the cylinder support, the cooling fan is also driven to operate to drive the external gas to flow through the heat dissipation path and to flow out, so as to bring out the heat produced during the operation of the pneumatic cylinder and to achieve an effective heat dissipation.
