摘要： A hub-integrated inflation system which functions to convert relative motion at the wheel end (e.g., between the axle and the hub or wheel) into a pumping motion. The relative motion is then converted into mechanical or electrical energy, which can be used to actuate a pump of an inflator.

摘要： An air compressor improves the dustproof performance of an intake path to a crankcase. The air compressor includes a compression assembly that reciprocates a piston in a cylinder to produce compressed air, a crankcase accommodating the compression assembly and having an inner inlet to allow outside air to be drawn, a filter located in the crankcase and covering the inner inlet from outside, a filter cover having an outer inlet and covering the filter from outside, and a dust cover covering the filter cover from outside, covering the outer inlet, and including an outer circumferential portion. The outer circumference portion and the filter cover have a space to draw outside air between the outer circumference portion and the filter cover.

摘要： A compressor assembly (10) for supplying pressure medium to a tire cavity (7) of a tire of a vehicle wheel, which can be mounted on a wheel hub (4) that is mounted on a wheel carrier (3) for rotation about an axis of rotation (32). The compressor assembly (10) includes a hub-side compression chamber (16) and a compressor component (18). A pressure medium is conducted into the tire cavity (7) upon being pressurized in the compression chamber (16) by oscillating translational motion of the compressor component (18). The compressor assembly (10) includes a transmission (20) that converts a rotational motion between the wheel carrier side and the wheel hub side into an oscillating translational motion of the compressor component (18) when a hub-side transmission part (24) is in an operating position with a wheel-carrier-side transmission part (26).

摘要： An air compressor contains a piston actuated by a motor to move in a cylinder. The piston includes an air stop sheet mounted on a top support plate thereof. The air stop sheet includes a bending section having a positioning zone and an acting zone located opposite to the positioning zone and configured to cover an air channel of the piston. The bending section is a boundary axis of the acting area and the positioning zone of the air stop sheet so that a top of the air stop sheet facing the cylinder forms an obtuse angle less than 180 degrees, and a back surface of the acting zone of the air stop sheet backing a top of the cylinder turns on relative to a plane of a top of the top support plate at an open angle θ, thus producing an air flowing space.

摘要： A direct drive air pump has a motor and a pumping mechanism connected to an end of the motor, and further has an auxiliary pumping mechanism connected to the other end of the motor, and a tube connected with the pumping mechanism and the auxiliary pumping mechanism. In each one of the pumping mechanism and the auxiliary pumping mechanism, a cylindrical body has a top plate having an exhaust hole. A single O-ring is used to seal between the cylindrical body and a cylindrical cover for reducing the sealing portions. A valve block of a non-return valve can co-work with a spring for opening and closing the exhaust hole. The valve block is soft for closing the exhaust hole well and reducing the noise of collision between the valve block and the top plate.

摘要： A diaphragm vacuum pump has a pump chamber, a vacuum diaphragm for generating an underpressure in the pump chamber, an electric motor (1) with a motor shaft, a gear and a connecting element. The gear converts a rotational movement of the motor shaft into a cyclical, approximately linear forward and rearward movement of the connecting element, as a result of which the connecting element effects a cyclical movement of the vacuum diaphragm. The rearward movement of the connecting element per cycle is effected by a first rotation angle of the motor shaft which, on account of the gear, is not of the same magnitude as a second rotation angle of the motor shaft, wherein the second rotation angle effects the forward movement of the connecting element per cycle. The diaphragm vacuum pump according to the invention can be designed such that it is small and quiet and yet provides optimal power.
