Abstract

A piston of an air compressor, the air compressor including the piston actuated by a motor to move upward and downward in a cylinder. The piston contains a head accommodating an air stop sheet which has a first bending section being a boundary line of an acting area and a positioning zone of the air stop sheet. The acting zone has a noncircular spacing groove configured to separate an external portion and a circular portion, a neck, and a second bending section, such that an axial line between the circular portion and the external portion is the second bending section at an obtuse angle less than 180 degrees, and the second bending section is defined between a bottom of the circular portion and a top of the external portion at an acute angle θ2.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A piston of an air compressor, the piston being actuated by a motor to move upward and downward in a cylinder;
wherein the piston of the air compressor includes a head accommodating an air stop sheet, the air stop sheet includes a first bending section which is a boundary line of an acting zone and a positioning zone of the air stop sheet so that an obtuse angle less than 180 degrees is formed between the acting zone and the positioning zone of the air stop sheet on a top surface of the air stop sheet, and an open angle θ 1 is formed between a bottom surface of the acting zone of the air stop sheet and a top surface of the head of the piston, thus producing an air flowing space;
wherein the acting zone has a noncircular spacing groove configured to separate an external portion and a circular portion, a neck formed on a connection of the external portion and the circular portion, and a second bending section formed on the neck in a mechanical working manner, wherein the circular portion is configured to bend upward, such that an obtuse angle less than 180 degrees is formed between the circular portion and the external portion with respect to the second bending section, and wherein an acute angle θ 2 is formed between the first bending section and the circular portion,
wherein when an entirety of the air compressor is completely not in operation, the open angle θ 1 formed between the acting zone of the air stop sheet and the head of the piston and the acute angle θ 2 formed between the first bending section and the circular portion allow an airflow to flow through the air flowing space.

2. The piston of an air compressor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the positioning zone is arranged on a first end of the first bending section of the air stop sheet, and the acting zone is arranged on a second end of the first bending section of the air stop sheet.

3. The piston of an air compressor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the head has two separated bolts, and the positioning zone of the air stop sheet has two spaced orifices connecting with the two separated bolts of the head, thus fixing the air stop sheet on the head; wherein the acting zone of the air stop sheet has a passing orifice, and the head has a hook configured to engage with the passing orifice.

4. The piston of an air compressor as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the hook has a vertical post and a horizontal post, wherein a height of the vertical post is determined based on an output power of the air compressor, such that the height of the vertical post is greater than a height of a moving path of the air stop sheet, and wherein the horizontal post is configured to limit the height of the moving path of the air stop sheet.
