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 compressor, comprising:
- a first pivot point operable to provide a first mode having a first range, when the first pivot point is aligned with a diaphragm connector to a diaphragm assembly;
- and
- a second pivot point operable to provide a second mode having a second range, when the second pivot point is aligned with the diaphragm connector to the diaphragm assembly, wherein:
- the compressor is operable to power a tool,
- 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 to the first mode,
- the first pivot point and the second pivot point are located on the same side of a first lever, and
- a differential cut-in associated with the second mode has a minimal differential and is faster than a differential cut-in associated with the first mode.
A compressor, comprising:
- a diaphragm connector;
- a diaphragm assembly operably coupled to the diaphragm connector;
- and
- a first lever comprising a first pivot point and a second pivot point at two different locations on the side of the first lever, wherein:
- the compressor is operable to power a tool,
- the first pivot point is operable, when aligned via the diaphragm connector, to provide a first mode having a first range,
- the second pivot point is operable, when 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, and
- a differential cut-in associated with the second mode has a minimal differential and is faster than a differential cut-in associated with the first mode.
