Technical field
The present invention relates generally to portable air compressor, relates more specifically to have the Portable air compressor of improved portability and robustness.
Background technique
Little air compressor has become the common tool in family, workshop, building site.For family, can the light compressor of operating weight, be used for amusement and other small-power purposes, fill a small amount of gas such as charge movement or amusement equipment or when the urgency to automobile tire.This task needs the pressurized air and/or the low relatively airspeed of relatively low pressure.By using the compressor by small and light motor-driven little, low capacity and/or low pressure, it is very light that the weight in these structures keeps, and portability is maximized.In addition, by omitting high-pressure bottle (compressed air bottle just) and lubricating oil system, on weight, size and cost, obtained significant saving.
Yet, a lot of higher air pressures of need of work, and/or bigger instantaneous air-flow needs, this instantaneous air-flow surpasses the ability of the compressor that hobby or amusement use typically.In order to satisfy, must increase the size of compressor and associated motor or motor to than highpressure with than the needs of high gas flow task.And, not that the size of design compressor satisfies the maximized requirement of theoretic instantaneous air-flow, common actual design is the air reservoir that comprises a compression of compressed air bottle or other pressurized container form.Usually the jar that has an output controller can hold a certain amount of pressurized air, to satisfy the maximum value of supply load, allows simultaneously to use the less and lighter compressor of inflating as jar, and can satisfy the average compressed air require of special purpose.
In fact the compressed air cylinder of pressure and the flow level of need meeting the expectation and bigger compressor have increased the weight and the overall dimension of compressor apparatus.The element that designs for high pressure and high power capacity task can reach weight and the size that known motor vehicle are installed rapidly, and perhaps the breakdown trailer structure is unique actual form.And, the air compressor of Medium Capacity scope be the job site common equipment and also can be portable by the people.
Can comprise one or the fixing or supporting mechanism of a motor or motor is installed in it thereon by the portable compressed air unit of people at present, an air compressor, a compressed air bottle is discharged manifold and multiple valve, instrument and controller for one.A lot of bigger portable structures have wheel, often are called hand-push structure, make them to be moved by an independent people.There is the example of the air compressor of wheel to comprise the D55170 type and the D55270 type of DeWalt board.
And, the user of the compressor of the professional grade of some Medium Capacities find must or expectation have an energy with portable and the compressor that carries.The usual method that the air compressor manufacturer takes is that the redesign air compressor is to reduce its weight.Although this effort is arranged, the frequent weight of professional grade compressor of Medium Capacity surpasses 50 pounds, and still is difficult to portable and mobile, even those strong men.
Except weight issue, know that also the professional grade compressor transportation of Portable Medium Capacity bothers very much.In this, use the structure of two cylindrical tanks or flat jar independent (that is to say that diameter has the cylindrical tank of male end greatly and highly for a short time) to become generally, have installation and design for compressor and motor are installed simultaneously.Give an example the side that the structure of using two cylindrical tanks typically is installed in compressor and motor jar, and an end of using independent one flat jar structure typically compressor and motor to be installed in jar.
These traditional air compressors are arranged and are made equipment have a big relatively bottom or base, and are positioned at the center of gravity of base near center position.This layout makes air compressor have in a metastable structure of its operation period simultaneously, is being with these structures to mention and is carrying air compressor to become very clumsy and difficult.In this, these structures have typically been used a handle (being used to mention and carry air compressor), handle is connected on the suitable structure, and such as bearing or compressed air bottle, its position is vertically set on the center of gravity top of whole compressed air unit.The direction of handle is provided with to such an extent that need compressed air unit to be mentioned vertically upward usually, and is carried on identical with its direction of operating substantially direction.
Yet, mentioning with carrying known medium compressed air unit by this way is relative difficulty, because the base of these compressed air units is relatively large easily and therefore need the user to control compressed air unit to overhanging arm a little, user's wrist just is in bent state like this.The center of gravity of compressed air unit more in the close effort of user's central axis, the user will typically tilt its upper limbs away from the load of compressed air unit, and therefore make body gesture uncomfortable and mention unhandily and the transport air compression device.

Embodiment
With reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2, showed the air compressor device 1 of a prior art, comprise 3, one compressed air bottles 4 of 2, one compressing mechanisms of a supporting structure and a handle 5.The compressing mechanism 3 and near compressed air bottle 4 horizontal arrangement supporting structure 2 that belong to the heavy element of compressed air unit 1 make the center of gravity 6 of compressed air unit 1 be arranged on the inside by a zone of supporting structure 2 limited boundaries well.Handle 5 combines with supporting structure 2, and its combination is that the center line 7 of handle 5 is vertical point-blank with the center of gravity 6 of compressed air unit 1.
Again with reference to figure 2, the structure of handle 5 makes its allow compressed air unit 1 can vertical-lift and to betransported with the same direction of its operation.Yet the base of compressed air unit 1 or bottom 8 are relatively large, and this just must allow the protruding a little arm 9a of user 9 come transport air compression device 1.Therefore, user's wrist 9b keeps bent state, and this makes the user uncomfortable and tired easily.
, in Fig. 5, refer to by reference number 10 generally at Fig. 3 according to the compressed air unit of technical construction of the present invention.Shown compressed air unit 10 comprises 16, one handles 18 of 14, one supporting structures of 12, one compressed air bottles of a compressing mechanism and a metering equipment 20.Compressing mechanism 12 all is traditional in structure and operation, does not therefore need here to go through.In brief, compressing mechanism 12 comprises a compressor 22, and ambient air can be introduced and compress to its operation, and a power source, such as a motor 24 or motor, is used to provide power and gives compressor 22.The compressed air that leaves from compressor 22 is discharged to compressed air bottle 14, and compressed air bottle is used to store compressed air.
The volume of compressed air bottle 14 is at least 0.5 gallon, and what showed in the specific example that is provided is to have an independent columniform jar structure.Yet compressed air bottle 14 preferably has from about 1 to about 8 gallons volume, more preferably is to have from about 3 to about 5 gallons volume.It will be appreciated by one of skill in the art that, compressed air bottle 14 can be constructed slightly differently, tablet (weak point and the big cylindrical body of diameter that just have the evagination end) the jar structure (not shown) that picture is traditional, perhaps have a plurality of cylindrical tank structures, they connect and combination by fluid as shown in figure 10.
Shown supporting structure 16 is constructed in the mode of " roll cage ", and it extends round compressing mechanism 12 and metering equipment 20, be reversed at compressed air unit 10 or by other object collision in can protect these elements.Shown in specific example in, supporting structure 16 comprises a tubular frame 30, tubular frame 30 has relative side extension edge 32, interconnects by a mountion plate 34 and a plurality of strut member 36 and selectable guard shield or cover plate 38.In the example that is provided, cover plate 38 is made by sheeting material, such as steel, aluminium or plastics, and removably tighten together with tubular frame 30, and for example be by the threaded fastener (not shown) traditionally.And the primary and foremost purpose of cover plate 38 is to protect the element as compressing mechanism 12 and metering equipment 20 not to be subjected to owing to contacting the damage that causes with the instrument or the workpiece that fall; it will be appreciated by one of skill in the art that; in transportation process when with user's side near in; compare with tubular frame 30, compressing mechanism, compressed air bottle 14 and/or metering equipment 20; the smooth relatively outer surface of cover plate 38 is more comfortable relatively, and more difficult obstruction user's is mobile.
In the example that is provided, side extension edge 32 makes the end 42 of side extension edge 32 mutually disjoint with open formal construction, but intersects with compressed air bottle 14.End 42 is connected with compressed air bottle 14 by traditional connection means, such as welding.Shown in specific example in; compressed air bottle 14 passes side extension edge 32 and extends; but it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that compressed air bottle 14 also can be configured to align with side extension edge 32 terminals or, make supporting structure 16 also can protect the opposed end of compressed air bottle 14 within it.Generally include a compressed air bottle pressure meter scale 46, regulator 48, an adjusting scale 50 and a metering equipment 20 of discharging manifold 52 and combine, measure panel 54 and be installed between the side extension edge 32 of supporting structure 16 with a metering panel 54.Metering panel 54 can be the element that disperses, or integrally formed with cover plate 38.Preferably, metering panel 54 is installed in sweptback direction, showed its installation direction among Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 best, different with the Vertical direction substantially of prior art compressed air unit 1 shown in Figure 1, this make compressed air bottle pressure meter scale 46, regulator 48, regulate scale 50 and discharge the position of manifold 52 more comfortable relatively in reading and/or use for the user of compressed air unit 10.Those skilled in the art will know by these descriptions, the improvement of compressed air bottle pressure meter scale 46 that causes owing to the position of the metering panel 54 of the direction that recedes and the readability of regulating scale 50 and the improvement of regulator 48 workabilities make accuracy improve, and the user can accurately control and be delivered to the air pressure of discharging manifold 52.Be connected with one of side extension edge 32 and outward extending therefrom pin 58 can be selected to provide, with allow object as power line 60 or air hose 62 for storage by reel (round pin 58).
The mountion plate 34 that the shown sheet material by as steel, aluminium or plastics constitutes is as the bottom 66 of supporting structure 16.Compressing mechanism 12 links together by a plurality of threaded fasteners (not illustrating especially) with mountion plate 34.A plurality of Rubber foots 68 are fixed on the angle of mountion plate 34, and are used for the vibration of transmitting by supporting structure 16 is suppressed, and to a certain degree skid resistance are provided for simultaneously supporting structure 16.With particular reference to Fig. 6, one enters hole 70 and passes mountion plate 34 and form, and allows the user to use valve system 72 manual emptying compressed air bottles 14.
Again with reference to figure 4, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that compressed air bottle 14 and compressing mechanism 12 are connected on the supporting structure 16, make when the direction of compressed air unit 10, their center of gravity CG separately at its operating position (Fig. 3 is to Fig. 5) ATAnd CG ACThe position relatively near bottom 66.When compressed air bottle 14 and compressing mechanism 12 had accounted for weight most of compressed air unit 10, the advantage of this structure just was that it provides a low relatively center of gravity CG for compressed air unit 10 ACPIt will be apparent to one skilled in the art that center of gravity CG ACPAlong moving with a plane 80 of bottom 66 inclinations.Shown in specific example in, plane 80 is substantially perpendicular to bottom 66 because bottom 66 is positioned on the flat surface 82, floor for example.
With reference to figure 3 and Fig. 7, the structure of handle 18 can allow the palmar aspect 90 of user 94 its hand 92 in transport air compression device 10 can hold handle 18.Handle 18 can be an any kind, and can be installed on any suitable structure, such as being installed on supporting structure 16 or the compressed air bottle 14.Shown in special construction in, handle 18 is fixedly installed on the compressed air bottle 14, and comprises a grip portions 96, the shape of grip portions 96 can be held user's finger in user's transport air compression device 10.Grip portions 96 forms around a center line 98, and center line 98 is positioned at (perhaps can be arranged on) plane 100, and this plane comprises the center of gravity CG of compressed air unit 10 ACP
Handle 18 allows the user of compressed air unit 10 that compressed air unit 10 is repositioned onto transport position shown in Figure 7 from operating position shown in Figure 4.When being positioned at transport position, comprise the center line 98 of handle 18 and the center of gravity CG of compressed air unit 10 ACP Plane 100 be positioned on the vertical substantially direction, this direction is parallel to vertical (vertically) axle center 104 of user 94 usually, also is parallel to the bottom 66 and the top 108 of compressed air unit 10 usually.
And, because when compressed air unit 10 is positioned at operating position, the center of gravity CG of compressed air unit 10 ACPBe relatively near bottom 66, user 94 can transport air compression device 10, make 66 sides 110, bottom (that is to say in about 10 inches scopes of side 110 near user 94, preferably in about 3 to 7 inches scopes), and user's wrist 112 is not to be in bent state.When being positioned at transport state, compressed air unit 10 preferably is constructed such that the center of gravity CG of compressed air bottle 14 and compressing mechanism 12 ATAnd CG ACBe set on the plane 100, perhaps the distance that 100 skews relatively equate substantially from the plane.By this position of handle 18, user 94 is transport air compression device 10 comfily, and easily compressed air unit 10 is being pivoted between operating position and transport position under the situation of not decontroling handle 18.
Compressed air unit 10 has been described as and has comprised a compressed air bottle 14 so far, this bottle has an independent cylindrical tank structure and a handle 18 that is fixedly connected on the compressed air bottle 14, it will be appreciated by one of skill in the art that, from wideer aspect, the present invention can construct slightly differently.Give an example, handle 18a can constitute an integral body with Fig. 8 and supporting structure 16a shown in Figure 9.In this embodiment, supporting structure 16 extends to the opposite side of compressing mechanism 12 and 66 extends upward from the bottom round compressed air bottle 14.A handgrip 96a is formed on the front strut spare 36a, and front strut spare interconnects with relative side extension edge 32a.Similar to the handle 18 of compressed air unit 10 shown in Figure 3, the position of handle 18a makes the center line 98a of handgrip 96a be positioned on the plane, when compressed air unit 10a was positioned at transport position, this plane comprised the center of gravity CG of compressed air unit 10a ACP
In layout shown in Figure 10, the similarity of the handle among the embodiment of handle 18a and Fig. 8 is all to constitute an integral body with supporting structure 16a.Yet compressed air bottle 14b comprises first and second common cylindrical tank structure 150a and the 150b, and when compressed air unit 10b was positioned at operating position, two jar structures piled up with being perpendicular to one another.Shown in layout in, the first and second common cylindrical tank structure 150a and 150b are at center line 98a that has comprised handle 18a and center of gravity CG ACPThe opposite side on plane equidistantly be provided with.The longitudinal axis 152a of the first and second common cylindrical tank structure 150a and 150b and 152b are included in respectively on the plane tilting with bottom 66, by this center line 98a and the center of gravity CG from having comprised handle 18a with the first and second common cylindrical tank structure 150a and 150b ACPThe amount of planar offset minimize.In this was arranged, mountion plate 34b can raise a little with respect to the mountion plate 34 of compressed air unit 10, so that easier compressed air bottle 14b and the compressing mechanism 12 more closely packed makes the center line 98a of handle 18a locate in the above described manner.
The layout of Figure 11 layout with Fig. 3 substantially is identical, except handle 18c is pivotally attached on the supporting structure 16c on the side relative with compressed air bottle 14.When entering transport position, compressing mechanism 12 is positioned at compressed air bottle 14 tops.This layout also shows compressed air unit of the present invention can be around one on any direction between operating position and the transport position axis rotation of level substantially.Give an example, the embodiment of Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 has showed that compressed air unit 10 can turn to the bottom B (perhaps top T) of compressed air unit 10 from the front F of compressed air unit 10, and the embodiment of Figure 11 has showed that compressed air unit 10c can turn to the bottom B (perhaps top T) of compressed air unit 10c from the back R of compressed air unit 10c.It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that compressed air unit can turn to the bottom (perhaps top) of compressed air unit by handle 18c from a side of compressed air unit as selection.
