Abstract

A compressed gas supplier has a power-free decompression device and an expansion chamber. The power-free decompression device decompresses a gas in a high-pressure source into a decompressed gas. The expansion chamber connects to the power-free decompression device and receives and stores the decompressed gas. The pneumatic tool is driven by the decompressed gas in the expansion chamber. Thus, the compressed gas supplier for the pneumatic tool is small and easy to be carry. In addition, the decompressed gas stored in the expansion chamber is also benefit for supplying decompressed gas to the pneumatic tool that needs much gas to drive.

Claims (70)

1. A compressed gas supplier for a pneumatic tool comprising:

a power-free decompression device decompressing a gas in a high-pressure source into a decompressed gas, and comprising

a housing having

an inlet connecting to the high-pressure source;

an outlet;

an inlet channel formed inside the housing and communicating with the inlet;

an outlet channel formed inside the housing and communicating with the outlet;

a decompression room formed inside the housing, and formed between and communicating with the inlet channel and the outlet channel; and

a releasing channel formed on the housing; and

a decompression assembly mounted in the decompression room of the housing, and selectively blocking the communication between inlet channel and the decompression room; and

an expansion chamber connecting to the power-free decompression device and receiving and storing the decompressed gas to adapted for selectively supplying the decompressed gas to the pneumatic tool, and having

a first end;

a second end;

an entry formed on the first end of the expansion chamber and communicating with the outlet of the housing; and

a releasing hole formed on the expansion chamber and communicating with the releasing channel of the housing to adapted for connecting to the pneumatic tool.

2. The compressed gas supplier as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the decompression assembly comprises:

a piston mounted slidably in the decompression room, selectively blocking the communication between inlet channel and the decompression room, and having

a first end;

a second end; and

a central opening formed through the first and second ends, selectively communicating with the inlet channel, and communicating with the outlet channel;

a first resilient element mounted in the decompression room and abutting against the second end of the piston to push the piston to slide away from the outlet channel; and

a sealing member mounted in the decompression room and selectively abutting against the first end of the piston to selectively block the communication between inlet channel and the decompression room.

3. The compressed gas supplier as claimed in claim 2 , wherein

the piston has a head formed on the second end of the piston;

the decompression assembly comprises a pressure setting member mounted in the decompression room, clamped between the head of the piston and the sealing member to selectively block the communication between inlet channel and the decompression room.

4. The compressed gas supplier as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the pressure setting member comprises:

an adjusting element selectively abutting against the sealing member to selectively block the communication between inlet channel and the decompression room; and

a second resilient member clamped between adjusting element and the head of the piston to push the adjusting element to abut against the sealing member.

5. The compressed gas supplier as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the sealing member comprises:

a washer selectively abutting against the first end of the piston to selectively block the communication between inlet channel and the decompression room; and

a screw mounted through the housing, and holding the washer to selectively moves the washer axially.

6. The compressed gas supplier as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the sealing member comprises:

a washer selectively abutting against the first end of the piston to selectively block the communication between inlet channel and the decompression room; and

a screw mounted through the housing, and holding the washer to selectively moves the washer axially.

7. The compressed gas supplier as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the sealing member comprises:

a washer selectively abutting against the first end of the piston to selectively block the communication between inlet channel and the decompression room; and

a screw mounted through the housing, and holding the washer to selectively moves the washer axially.

8. The compressed gas supplier as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the expansion chamber is defined in a bottle detachably connecting to the housing.

9. The compressed gas supplier as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the expansion chamber is formed on the housing.

10. A compressed gas supplier comprising:

a power-free decompression device decompressing a gas in a high-pressure source into a decompressed gas and having

a housing having

an inlet connecting to the high-pressure source;

an outlet;

an inlet channel formed inside the housing and communicating with the inlet;

an outlet channel formed inside the housing and communicating with the outlet; and

a releasing channel formed on the housing; and

a decompression room formed inside the housing, and formed between and communicating with the inlet channel and the outlet channel;

an expansion chamber connecting to the power-free decompression device and receiving and storing the decompressed gas to adapted for selectively supplying the decompressed gas to the pneumatic tool, and having

a first end;

a second end;

an entry formed on the first end of the expansion chamber; and

a releasing hole formed on the first end of the expansion chamber and communicating with the releasing channel of the housing to adapted for connecting to the pneumatic tool; and

an elongated tube connecting to and communicating with the outlet of the housing, protruding through the entry and protruding toward the second end of the expansion chamber.

11. The compressed gas supplier as claimed in claim 10 , wherein

the decompression assembly comprises:

a piston mounted slidably in the decompression room, selectively blocking the communication between inlet channel and the decompression room, and having

a first end;

a second end; and

a central opening formed through the first and second ends, selectively communicating with the inlet channel, and communicating with the outlet channel;

a first resilient element mounted in the decompression room and abutting against the second end of the piston to push the piston to slide away from the outlet channel; and

a sealing member mounted in the decompression room and selectively abutting against the first end of the piston to selectively block the communication between inlet channel and the decompression room.

12. The compressed gas supplier as claimed in claim 11 , wherein

the piston has a head formed on the second end of the piston;

the decompression assembly comprises a pressure setting member mounted in the decompression room, clamped between the enlarged head of the piston and the sealing member to selectively block the communication between inlet channel and the decompression room and comprising

an adjusting element selectively abutting against the sealing member to selectively block the communication between inlet channel and the decompression room; and

a second resilient member clamped between adjusting element and the head of the piston to push the adjusting element to abut against the sealing member; and

the sealing member comprises:

a washer selectively abutting against the first end of the piston to selectively block the communication between inlet channel and the decompression room; and

a screw mounted through the housing, and holding the washer to selectively moves the washer axially.
