  • STRUCTURE OF FIXING BEARING OF AIR COMPRESSOR
    Publication number: 20200049138
    Abstract: A structure of fixing a bearing of an air compressor, the air compressor contains: a base, a cylinder, and a transmission mechanism. The base includes multiple positioning orifices, and one of the multiple positioning orifices accommodates a bearing. The cylinder is integrally connected with the base and includes an air storage chamber. The transmission mechanism actuates a piston to move in the cylinder reciprocatingly, thus producing compressed air. The first ring of the bearing is non-circular, and a shape of the one positioning orifice of the base corresponds to the first ring so as to avoid an idle rotation of the bearing in the one positioning orifice of the base or a removal of the bearing from the second positioning orifice.

  • Air compressor
    Patent number: 10527031
    Abstract: An improved air compressor includes a cylinder fitted with a piston body, a main frame for mounting a motor, and an air storage container. The cylinder defines a plurality of exit holes regulated by a control mechanism including a resilient sheet having a root and a plurality branches corresponding to the exit holes. The root and branches of the resilient sheet are individually attached to a top wall of the cylinder at separate points, so that each of the branches can be individually moved by the compressed air produced in the cylinder to open or close the corresponding exit hole without affecting movements of the other branches, so that the piston body can conduct reciprocating motion more smoothly, and thus the performance of the air compressor can be increased.

  • Air compressor
    Patent number: 10294932
    Abstract: An improved air compressor includes a cylinder that is fitted with a piston body and defines at its top wall a plurality of exit holes having different diameters and communicating between the cylinder and an air storage container. The exit holes are sealed by plugs and compression springs. The exit holes allow the compressed air produced in the cylinder to enter the air storage container more quickly. When the piston body approaches the top wall of the cylinder, one exit hole, with a smaller diameter, allows the compressed air to enter the air storage container more easily. The exit holes with different diameters allow the piston body to move in the cylinder more smoothly, and thus the efficiency of inflating an object can be increased.

  • Motor with heat dissipation structure
    Patent number: 10298095
    Abstract: A motor includes a housing, a front cover, a rotating shaft, and a cooling fan. The front cover is formed with multiple air guiding fins and multiple inlet holes. The housing defines at least one communication hole at its surrounding wall. In use, a central portion of the air current generated by the cooling fan can be guided by the air guiding fins to pass through the inlet holes to enter the motor's housing. An outer portion of the air current can flow along the outer surface of the housing. The way of dissipating heat through multiple paths allows the heat generated in the motor to be dissipated more effectively, so that heat is not easy to accumulate in the motor, and thus the performance and service life of the motor can be increased.

  • Air compressor
    Patent number: 10138878
    Abstract: An improved air compressor includes a cylinder fitted with a piston body, a main frame for mounting a motor, and an air storage container. The cylinder defines at its top wall a plurality of exit holes, which are separated by a plurality of blocking walls and regulated by a resilient sheet having a plurality of branches corresponding to the exit holes. When the compressed air produced in the cylinder pushes the resilient sheet up to open the exit holes, the instantaneous high-pressure air that flows through the exit holes can be restrained by the air blocking walls to prevent the air from interfering with movements of the branches of the resilient sheet, so that the piston body can conduct reciprocating motion more smoothly and thus the performance of the air compressor can be increased.

  • Air compressor
    Patent number: 10132310
    Abstract: An improved motor includes a cylinder defining multiple exit holes of different diameters, which are respectively controlled by a resilient sheet having multiple branches to communicate with an air storage container. In operation, when a piston body conducts reciprocating motion in the cylinder, the compressed air produced in the cylinder can quickly enter the air storage container. The branches of the resilient sheet are subjected to different back force resulting from the compressed air in the air storage container, wherein the smallest branch of the resilient sheet is subjected to a smallest back force, so that the compressed air produced in the cylinder can enter the air storage container more easily through the smallest exit hole, so that the piston body can conduct reciprocating motion more smoothly and thus the performance of the air compressor can be increased.
