  • Publication number: 20220364554
    Abstract: A reciprocating air compressor arrangement includes a crank that drives a connecting rod and a piston within a cylinder. The connecting rod has a first end and a second end. The first end of the connecting rod is connected to the crank and the second end of the connecting rod is connected to the piston, with the crank provided to actuate the piston in a reciprocating motion within and relative to the cylinder so as to compress air within the cylinder. The reciprocating air compressor arrangement has a one-way flapper inlet valve allowing air to enter the cylinder, and a one-way outlet valve allowing compressed air to exit the cylinder. The inlet valve is biased to a partially open position.

  • Patent number: 10731637
    Abstract: A portable pump is provided including an electric motor having a drive shaft connected to a gear assembly to drive a reciprocating air compressor arrangement. The reciprocating air compressor arrangement includes a crank that drives a connecting rod and a piston within a cylinder. The connecting rod has a first end and a second end and the first end of the rod is connected to the crank while the second end of the rod connected to the piston (to drive the piston in the cylinder and provide compression). The second end of the connecting rod is connected to the piston via a pin. The piston includes a sealing arrangement. A control unit is provided which is in electrical communication with the electric motor and the air compressor to control the operation of the pump arrangement. A power supply is also provided in electrical communication with the control unit to supply power to the control unit and electric motor.
