Abstract
A resonator of an acoustic compressor is provided at each side of an actuator so that the two resonators are arranged side by side. Two pistons are provided at the inner ends of the resonators and actuated by the actuator. At the outer end of the each of the resonators, a gas is introduced into the resonator through a suction hole. When the pistons are actuated by the actuator, the gases in the two resonators are oscillated and compressed by the piston and discharged through discharge holes at the outer ends of the resonators.
Claims14
An acoustic compressor comprising:
- two resonators arranged side by side and having a coaxial axis, each of the resonators having an inner end and an outer end;
- an actuator between the inner ends of the two resonators;
- suction holes each of which is formed on the outer end of each of the resonators to suck a gas into each of the resonators;
- pistons each of which is provided between the inner end of the resonator and the actuator to oscillate and compress the gas in each of the resonators reciprocally along the coaxial axis by the actuator;
- and
- discharge holes each of which is formed on the outer end of each of the resonators to discharge the compressed gas.
