Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An air compressor includes a motor, an air compression mechanism driven by the motor, a rotation shaft rotatable integrally with a rotor of the motor, a fan rotatable integrally with the rotation shaft, a plurality of air tanks for reserving compressed air generated by the air compression mechanism, and a control unit for controlling the motor. The plurality of air tanks are juxtaposed with each other and arrayed in an array direction. The plurality of air tanks includes an endmost air tank and an adjacent air tank adjacent to the endmost air tank. The control unit is disposed adjacent to and opposite to the adjacent air tank relative to the endmost air tank. The control unit is disposed adjacent to and in confrontation with an outer circumference of the fan.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An air compressor comprising: a housing; a motor disposed in the housing and having a rotor; an air compression mechanism driven by the motor to generate compressed air; a rotation shaft rotatable integrally with the rotor; an axial flow fan disposed in the housing and rotatable integrally with the rotation shaft to generate airflow, the axial flow fan defining an outer circumference; a plurality of air tanks juxtaposed with each other and arrayed…
