- Air pump is a device used to increase air pressure by reducing volume of the air. Air pumps are usually classified into three types—reciprocating, centrifugal, and axial-flow, and the reciprocating type is most commonly used due to its' ability to obtain a wide pressure range.
- a reciprocating pump is also called a reciprocating piston pump for that it has a piston reciprocating in a fixed space to compress air and thus increase pressure.
- electromagnetic force is often used to drive the piston, as illustrated in FIG. 1 , to gain larger air pressure from the reciprocating piston pump.
- the reciprocating piston pump illustrated in FIG. 1 has the following disadvantages. Firstly, the pressure distribution is discontinuous since the piston must return to its' original position after compressing and discharging the air and before making next compressing stroke. Secondly, an extra pressure storage tank is often needed for the pump to get a stable and continuous pressure. Thirdly, the back-pressure valves constraining airflow direction, the intake valves, and the exhaust valves provided inside the reciprocating piston pump are made of many parts, which not only complicates the whole system but also makes the system difficult to maintain. Fourthly, the friction produced during reciprocation of the piston consumes a large amount of kinetic energy of the piston, results in more energy provision for the piston, and thus leads to an increase in working cost and a decrease in work efficiency.
- the present invention provides an electromagnetic revolutionary piston pump which solves the discontinuous pressure problem preexisting in conventional electromagnetic reciprocating piston pumps, increases pump efficiency, effectively lowers the number of parts used in a pump, decreases pump body mass, and increases airflow.

- the second tube has an intake opening and an exhaust opening, and wraps the first tube inside.
- the two annular separation plates are disposed inside the second tube to divide the inner space of the tube into a first airproof space and a second airproof space, where the first airproof space connects the intake opening and communicates inner space of the first tube via the first though holes, and the second airproof space connects the exhaust opening and communicates inner space of the first tube via the second through holes.
- the electromagnetic coil is mounted on outside walls of the first tube in the first airproof space for exerting electromagnetic force onto the pistons.
- the first tube of the invention has a low friction coefficient, and it can be made of copper and the second tube can be made of plastic.
- the diameter of first through holes decreases and the number of first through holes decreases as the holes get far away from the intake opening; moreover, the diameter of second through holes decreases and the number of second through holes decreases as the holes get far away from the exhaust opening.
- an electromagnetic revolutionary piston pump of the invention further comprises a plurality of annular separation plates which are placed inside the second airproof space and divide the second airproof space into a plurality of airproof spaces which are not in communication with each other.
- Each of the airproof spaces connects an exhaust opening and communicates inner space of the first tube via the second through holes.
- a plurality of electromagnetic revolutionary piston pumps of the invention can be connect together to form a multistage electromagnetic revolutionary piston pump capable of obtaining higher air pressure.
- the electromagnetic revolutionary piston pump is able to: 1. have continuous air pressure and increased airflow; 2. avoid the usage of parts like back-pressure valve, and thus effectively reduces the number of pump parts used and the pump size; 3. lower the energy loss in the system, and hence increases work efficiency and reduces working cost.

- Referring to
FIG. 2A andFIG. 2B , in a first embodiment, an electromagneticrevolutionary piston pump 1 includes a plasticouter doughnut tube 11, a copperinner doughnut tube 12, twoannular separation plates pistons 14 a to 14 e, and five sets ofelectromagnetic coils 15 a to 15 e. - The
inner doughnut tube 12 is wrapped inside theouter doughnut tube 11, and the inner doughnut tube has a plurality of throughholes annular separation plates outer doughnut tube 11 but outside theinner doughnut tube 12, dividing the inner space of theouter doughnut tube 11 into twoairproof spaces airproof space 111 connects an intake opening 10 a closer to theannular separation plate 13 a, and communicates with the space inside theinner doughnut tube 12 via the throughholes 121. Theairproof space 112 connects an exhaust opening 10 b closer to theannular separation plate 13 b, and communicates with the space inside theinner doughnut tube 12 via the throughholes 122. The intake opening 10 a and the exhaust opening 10 b are so arranged that a phase difference of 180 degrees exists therebetween. Furthermore, theelectromagnetic coils 15 a to 15 e are mounted on the outside walls of theinner doughnut tube 12 inside theairproof space 111 and are used for producing magnetic force to drive thepistons 14 a to 14 e placed inside theinner doughnut tube 12. So when thesepistons 14 a to 14 e pass through an electromagnetic field created by theelectromagnetic coils 15 a to 15 e, thepistons 14 a to 14 e can be accelerated forward one by one. - For example, at the instant when the
piston 14 b is accelerated up, the resulting vacuum inside theinner doughnut tube 12 sucks the air inside theairproof space 111 into theinner doughnut tube 12 via the throughholes 121 on theinner doughnut tube 12. The sucked in air is then compressed and pushed forward by another acceleratedpiston 14 a that follows immediately after thepiston 14 b. The compressed air is then sent to theairproof space 112 via the throughholes 122, and finally discharged from the exhaust opening 10 b connecting with theairproof space 112. Afterwards, thepistons 14 a to 14 e are no longer under the influence of magnetic force, and slow down naturally due to the friction between itself and theinner doughnut tube 12 until they pass through theelectromagnetic coils 15 a to 15 e again for another compressing stroke. In the process of speeding uppistons 14 a to 14 e, because the pistons in front is faster than the pistons on the back, the distances between pistons would prevent them from colliding with each other. - Moreover, in order that the
airproof space 111 is able to store pressure and avoid thepistons 14 a to 14 e from colliding and thus generating noise after the air is released fromairproof space 112, the size and distribution of the throughholes inner doughnut tube 12 corresponding to the acceleration and the deceleration of the pistons in the embodiment vary from big to small, dense to sparse, respectively. In other words, the diameter of the throughholes 121 gets smaller and the distribution of the throughholes 121 becomes sparser as the through holes get farther away from theintake opening 10 a. The diameter of the throughholes 122 gets smaller and the distribution of the throughholes 122 becomes sparser as the through holes get farther away from theintake opening 10 b. - On the other hand, for the purpose of quickly reducing the speed of the
pistons 14 a to 14 e to a preferred value without applying extra external force, such as the electromagnetic force, before thepistons 14 a to 14 e enter the next compressing stroke, the diameter ofinner doughnut tube 12 of the electromagneticrevolutionary piston pump 1 decreases gradually as it gets far away from theexhaust opening 10 b. In addition, arubber ring 16 with diameter slightly larger than the inside diameter of theinner doughnut tube 12 is placed inside theinner doughnut tube 12 near theannular separation plate 13 a to buffer thepistons 14 a to 14 e. - Referring to
FIG. 2C , each of theelectromagnetic coils 15 a to 15 e of the electromagneticrevolutionary piston pump 1 is made of a magneticallypermeable material 151, which may be silicon sheets, wrapped with a coil winding 152 and provided with anair gap 153 for theinner doughnut tube 12 to pass through. - Referring to
FIG. 2D , each of thepistons 14 a to 14 e includes a laminated siliconsteel sheet assembly 141 composed of a plurality of silicon steel sheets, apermanent magnet 142, apiston collar 143 made of stainless steel, twoclip caps 144, tworubber stoppers 145, twowashers 146, and two fixingbolts 147. - The laminated
silicon sheet assembly 141 is formed to have a central throughhole 141 a and twogrooves 141 b on opposite sides. The central throughhole 141 a is for accommodating thepermanent magnet 142 to strengthen the magnetic force between thepiston 14 a and each of theelectromagnetic coils 15 a to 15 e, while thegrooves 141 b are served as air gaps. In this way, the piston 14 will be adjusted automatically due to the magnetic resistance variation when thepiston 14 a passes theair gap 153. Thus, the minimum magnetic resistance caused by the laminatedsilicon steel assembly 141 and the maximum magnetic force applied to thepiston 14 a are ensured. Therefore, the contour of thegrooves 141 b can be shapes other than rectangular as illustrated inFIG. 2D , such as circular, as long as the magnetic resistance caused by the laminated siliconsteel sheet assembly 141 and each of theelectromagnetic coils 15 a to 15 e is a minimum. - In addition, the silicon
steel sheet assembly 141 is placed in thepiston collar 143, and is fixed in place by two clip caps separately mounted on two sides of thepiston collar 143. Moreover, onerubber stopper 145 is mounted on eachclip cap 144 mounted to provide necessary area for compressing air and to lower the noise created by the movement ofpiston 14 a in theinner doughnut tube 12. Thewashers 146 and fixingbolts 147 are then used to fix the clip caps 144 andrubber stoppers 145 in place. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , in a second embodiment, theairproof space 112 of electromagneticrevolutionary piston pump 1 can be further divided into 4airproof spaces annular separation plates airproof spaces exhaust openings exhaust openings - Referring to
FIG. 4 , in a third embodiment, a plurality of electromagnetic revolutionary piston pumps according to the invention can be connected in series to provide higher pressure of multistage and more airflow. For example, the exhaust opening of an electromagneticrevolutionary piston pump 1 is connected to the intake opening of an electromagneticrevolutionary piston pump 2, and the exhaust opening of the electromagneticrevolutionary piston pump 2 is connected to the intake opening of an electromagneticrevolutionary piston pump 3, and so on. - Since the pistons of the invention revolve inside the inner doughnut tube continuously, the invention can therefore generate continuous pressure without a backpressure valve and have the same pressure range as a conventional reciprocating pump. In addition, since the loss of magnetic energy in the invention relates only to the friction between pistons and the tube wall during the acceleration process, the loss of the electromagnetic energy can be reduced effectively and work efficiency can be raised.
- Please note that even though the outer doughnut tube in the aforementioned embodiments is made of plastic, the material of outer doughnut tube is not limited thereof. In addition, the material of the inner doughnut tube is not limited to copper; other low friction coefficient materials can be used as well. Moreover, the phase difference between the intake opening and exhaust opening is not restricted to 180 degrees; it can be varied according to design needs.
- While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of the preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements as would be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the scope of the appended claims should be accorded with the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements.
