Oil-free air compressor

An oil-free air compressor, comprising a motor, a crankcase, a cylinder assembly, and an air outlet;

• said motor driving a piston rod to move in a cylinder of said cylinder assembly in reciprocating compressional motion, so that external air is guided into said cylinder and compressed with said piston rod and then discharged through said air outlet;
• said oil-free air compressor being characterized in that said crankcase is provided at a lateral open end with a side cover screwed thereto and a filter removably mounted on said side cover to form an air inlet;
• that said piston rod has a piston head, on which a first check valve is mounted, so that air guided into said crankcase via said air inlet flows through said first check valve into said cylinder without the possibility of flowing backward;
• and that said cylinder has a cylinder head being provided with an air outlet and a second check valve is provided above said cylinder, so that air being compressed in said cylinder flows through said second check valve and said air outlet;
• whereby when said air compressor is in operation, said motor drives said piston rod to move and causes said piston head to reciprocate in said cylinder, so that external air is guided into said crankcase via said side cover to enter into said cylinder via said first check valve on said piston head and being compressed by said piston head before passing through said second check valve and through said air outlet.
