In a compressor for discharging a medium, in particular tire sealant that is to be discharged from a container into a tire, wherein a motor (1) of the compressor (P) drives a step-up transmission wheel (3, 3.1) for moving at least one piston (6-6.6) in a compression chamber (7), the step-up transmission wheel (3, 3.1) is intended to be provided only partially on its circumference with a toothing (20) and/or to consist of two toothed wheels (11, 12) lying on each other.

An apparatus and method for sensing the position of a piston in a valve in a gas compressor or the position of a piston in a free piston engine. The apparatus includes a plurality of valve sensors, a plurality of magnets, and a plurality of valve sense modules coupled to the valve sensors and a controller coupled to the plurality of valve sense modules. The method includes processing information received from the valve sensors to determine the linear position of the valves in the gas compressor or a piston in a free piston engine.

The patent application discloses an air compressor. The air compressor comprises a pair of pistons, a motor, a flywheel, a pulley, a crankshaft. Each piston is reciprocable in a corresponding one of the cylinders so as to reciprocate along the axis of the corresponding cylinder to vary a working volume of the cylinder. The motor comprise an output shaft. The pully transmits torque from said output shaft to said flywheel so as to rotate said flywheel about said axis upon rotation of said output shaft. The crankshaft interconnects said flywheel with said piston so as to reciprocate said piston in said cylinder upon rotation of said flywheel. The diameter of the pulley is smaller than that of said flywheel.

The patent application discloses an air compressor. The air compressor comprises at least two separate cylinder housings, a pair of pistons, a motor, a pair of head members, and a distribution valve unit. Each cylinder housing may define a cylinder with an axis. The axes are parallel and spaced apart. The pair of pistons has each piston being reciprocable in a corresponding one of the cylinders so as to reciprocate along the axis of the corresponding cylinder to vary a working volume of the cylinder. The motor may be positioned between the cylinder housings and drives the pistons so as to reciprocate the pistons. The pair of head members has each head member being fastened to a different one of the cylinder housings. The distribution valve unit may be positioned in between and next to the cylinder housings.

The present disclosure relates to a crosshead box, which is a substantially rectangular box body formed by an integral forming process and is provided with a front end surface, a rear end surface, an upper end surface, a lower end surface, and a side end surface, and the crosshead box is provided with: a plurality of crosshead cavities, each of the crosshead cavities extending in a longitudinal direction of the crosshead box and running through the box body, and the plurality of crosshead cavities being arranged in a transverse direction of the crosshead box. The crosshead box is further provided with a plurality of exhaust chambers, each of the exhaust chambers running through the crosshead box in the longitudinal direction of the crosshead box and being in communication with the corresponding crosshead cavity. The present disclosure further relates to a plunger pump provided with the crosshead box described above. In the crosshead box and the plunger pump according to the present disclosure, by integral forming, the service life is greatly improved, and the air pressure inside the box body during operation can be maintained always in balance, thereby improving the operating stability of the equipment and therefore further prolonging the service life.
