Abstract
A multi-mode air compressor pressure switch is disclosed. A first mode of operation of the switch has a first range that includes a first cut-out pressure and a first cut-in pressure. A second mode of operation of the switch has a second range that includes a second cut-out pressure and a second cut-in pressure. The second range is smaller than the first range. The second mode of operation adds compressor output over the first mode of operation to extend operable time of a tool that is connected to a compressor that is controlled by the first mode and the second mode.
Claims20
A switch assembly, comprising:
- a standard pivot point operable to provide a first mode having a first range, when the standard pivot point is manually aligned with a diaphragm connector to a diaphragm assembly;
- and
- a quick charge pivot point operable to provide a second mode having a second range, when the quick charge pivot point is manually aligned with the diaphragm connector to the diaphragm assembly, wherein:
- a range is the difference between a cut-out pressure and a cut-in pressure,
- the second range is smaller than the first range,
- the second mode adds compressor output over the first mode to extend operating time of a tool that is connected to a compressor,
- the standard pivot point is located on a side of a first lever at a first location,
- the quick charge pivot point is located on the side of the first lever at a second location, and
- a differential cut-in associated with the second mode is faster than a differential cut-in associated with the first mode.
A switch assembly, comprising:
- a diaphragm connector;
- a diaphragm assembly operably coupled to the diaphragm assembly;
- and
- a first lever comprising a standard pivot point and a quick charge pivot point at two different locations on the side of the first lever, wherein:
- the standard pivot point is operable, when manually aligned via the diaphragm connector, to provide a first mode having a first range,
- the quick charge pivot point is operable, when manually aligned via the diaphragm connector, to provide a second mode having a second range,
- a range is the difference between a cut-out pressure and a cut-in pressure,
- the second range is smaller than the first range,
- the second mode adds compressor output over the first mode to extend operating time of a tool that is connected to a compressor, and
- a differential cut-in associated with the second mode is faster than a differential cut-in associated with the first mode.
