Cordless compressor
A cordless compressor has an air storage tank, a pump for pressuring air within the air storage tank, a motor driving pump, a power tool battery pack connected to the motor, a discharge port connected to the air storage tank, and a regulator disposed between the discharge port and the air storage tank. The pump can raise the air pressure within the air storage tank from 0 psi to about 135 psi in less than 135 seconds. With such arrangement, a compressor having an air pressure within the air storage tank of 135 psi set at a 70 psi setting can power an 18 gauge nailer connected to the compressor to drive more than 1200 nails on a single battery charge.
1. A cordless compressor comprising:
an air storage tank;
a pump for pressuring air within the air storage tank;
a motor for driving pump;
a power tool battery pack connected to the motor;
a discharge port connected to the air storage tank; and
a regulator disposed between the discharge port and the air storage tank;
wherein the pump can raise the air pressure within the air storage tank from 0 psi to about 135 psi in less than 135 seconds.
2. The cordless compressor of claim 1 , further comprising a housing covering at least part of at least one of the pump and the motor.
3. The cordless compressor of claim 2 , further comprising a handle connected to the housing.
4. The cordless compressor of claim 1 , wherein the regulator has a rotatable knob for adjusting the regulator through an adjustment range.
5. The cordless compressor of claim 4 , wherein the knob is rotatable less than 360 degrees for the entire adjustment range.
6. The cordless compressor of claim 1 , further comprising an AC power cord for connecting the motor to an AC power source.
7. The cordless compressor of claim 6 , further comprising a charging circuit receiving power from the AC power source for charging the power tool battery pack.
8. The cordless compressor of claim 1 , wherein the compressor having an air pressure within the air storage tank of 135 psi set at a 70 psi setting can power an 18 gauge nailer connected to the discharge port to drive more than 1200 nails on a single battery charge.
9. A cordless compressor comprising:
an air storage tank;
a pump for pressuring air within the air storage tank;
a motor for driving pump;
a power tool battery pack connected to the motor;
a discharge port connected to the air storage tank; and
a regulator disposed between the discharge port and the air storage tank;
wherein the pump can raise the air pressure within the air storage tank from 105 psi to 135 psi within a first period of time being less than 30 seconds.
10. The cordless compressor of claim 9 , wherein the first period of time is less than around 26 seconds.
11. The cordless compressor of claim 9 , wherein the regulator has a rotatable knob for adjusting the regulator through an adjustment range.
12. The cordless compressor of claim 11 , wherein the knob is rotatable less than 360 degrees for the entire adjustment range.
13. The cordless compressor of claim 9 , further comprising an AC power cord for connecting the motor to an AC power source.
14. The cordless compressor of claim 13 , further comprising a charging circuit receiving power from the AC power source for charging the power tool battery pack.
15. The cordless compressor of claim 9 , wherein the compressor having an air pressure within the air storage tank of 135 psi set at a 70 psi setting can power an 18 gauge nailer connected to the discharge port to drive more than 1200 nails on a single battery charge.
