Abstract
An improved air compressor generally includes a cylinder fitted with a piston body, a main frame for mounting a motor, and an air storage container. The cylinder defines at its top wall a plurality of exit holes, which are separated by a plurality of blocking walls and regulated by a control mechanism. When the compressed air is produced in the cylinder causing the control mechanism to open the exit holes, the instantaneous high-pressure air that flows through the exit holes can be restrained by the blocking walls to prevent the air from interfering with operation of the control mechanism, so that the piston body can conduct reciprocating motion more smoothly and thus the performance of the air compressor can be increased.

In an air compressor including a main frame for mounting a motor, and a cylinder fitted with a piston body, the motor capable of driving the piston body to conduct reciprocating motion to produce in the cylinder compressed air which can enter an air storage container via a plurality of exit holes defined at a top wall of the cylinder;
- wherein the improvements comprises:
- the top wall of the cylinder is provided with a plurality of air blocking walls which isolate the exit holes from each other at a certain extent, and the exit holes are regulated by a control mechanism to be opened or closed, whereby when the compressed air is produced in the cylinder causing the control mechanism to open the exit holes, the instantaneous high-pressure air that flows through the exit holes can be restrained by the air blocking walls to prevent the air from interfering with operation of the control mechanism, so that the piston body can conduct reciprocating motion more smoothly and thus the performance of the air compressor can be increased.
