Abstract
The patent application discloses an air compressor. The air compressor comprises a pair of pistons, a motor, a flywheel, a pulley, a crankshaft. Each piston is reciprocable in a corresponding one of the cylinders so as to reciprocate along the axis of the corresponding cylinder to vary a working volume of the cylinder. The motor comprise an output shaft. The pulley transmits torque from said output shaft to said flywheel so as to rotate said flywheel about said axis upon rotation of said output shaft. The crankshaft interconnects said flywheel with said piston so as to reciprocate said piston in said cylinder upon rotation of said flywheel. The diameter of the pulley is smaller than that of said flywheel.
Claims12
An air compressor comprising:
- a pair of pistons, each piston being reciprocable in a corresponding one of two cylinders so as to reciprocate along a first axis of the corresponding cylinder to vary a working volume of the corresponding cylinder;
- a motor having an output shaft;
- a flywheel;
- a pulley which transmits torque from said output shaft to said flywheel so as to rotate said flywheel about a second axis upon rotation of said output shaft;
- a bearing supporting said flywheel for rotation about the second axis;
- a shaft extending along the second axis between said flywheel and said bearing, wherein said shaft has a first end portion and a second end portion;
- and
- a crankshaft interconnecting said flywheel with said piston so as to reciprocate said piston in said cylinder upon rotation of said flywheel;
- wherein diameter of the pulley is smaller than that of said flywheel.
An air compressor, comprising:
- a motor having an output shaft;
- a flywheel;
- a pulley on the output shaft of the motor, a bearing supporting said flywheel for rotation about an axis;
- a shaft extending along the second axis between said flywheel and said bearing;
- and
- a drive belt connecting the pulley and flywheel, wherein the drive belt transmits torque from said output shaft to said flywheel so as to rotate said flywheel about said axis upon rotation of said output shaft, wherein diameter of the pulley is smaller than that of said flywheel;
- and
- a crank shaft interconnecting said flywheel with a piston so as to reciprocate said piston in a cylinder upon rotation of said flywheel.
