Description of the Related Art In order to further pressurize compressed air having a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure, a booster compressor having a structure similar to a general air booster driven by an electric motor is used. Further, there are many air-pressure boosters in which a compression piston, which is simpler than a booster compressor, is driven by a pneumatic cylinder instead of a crank mechanism. FIG. 5 shows an example of a pneumatic booster driven by a conventional pneumatic cylinder.

力を調整する圧力調整弁である。In FIG. 5, the air-pressure booster is a pair of pressure-increasing cylinders 100, 100 arranged facing each other.
The pressure increasing cylinders 100 and 100a have pistons 101 and 101a, respectively.
Directly connected by 2. Then, the pressure increasing cylinder 100,
100a alternately operates as a compression cylinder and a drive cylinder according to the reciprocating motion of the pistons 101 and 101a. When the pressure boosting cylinder 100 is the compression cylinder and the other pressure boosting cylinder 100a is the drive cylinder, the compression chamber 103 of the compression cylinder is shown. Compressed air is introduced into the working chamber 104 and the compression chamber 103a of the drive cylinder, so that the compression chamber 10
The air in 3 is increased in pressure. Next, if the compression cylinder and the drive cylinder are switched by switching the 3-port switching valve 105, the air injected into the compression chamber 103a is increased in pressure this time. The air injected into the working chambers 104 and 104a is exhausted to the atmosphere by switching the 5-port switching valve 105. Further, reference numeral 106 is a pressure adjusting valve for adjusting the pressure of the increased pressure air.

ピストンとが同一面積であれば良く、このとき高圧空気
を得るにはその2倍の総供給空気量を必要とする。In the conventional air-pressure booster having such a structure, the pressure when air enters the compression chamber of the drive cylinder is added to the compression of the compression chamber of the compression cylinder, and the drive cylinder compresses the boosted force. Just add it to the cylinder. For example,
The pressure of 0.5 MPa, which is general compressed air, is 1 MPa, which is the general maximum operating pressure of pneumatic equipment.
In the case of increasing pressure, ignoring mechanical friction and temperature change of air, the piston of the drive cylinder and the piston of the compression cylinder need to have the same area, and in order to obtain high pressure air, double the pressure. Requires total supply air volume.

量をを100%とすると、シリンダ往復式の空々増圧器
は最大で75%の空気量しか得られない。When the cylinder reciprocating air-pressure booster and the booster compressor described above are compared, the booster compressor has about half the power of the cylinder reciprocating air-pressure booster for the same pressure boosting. It's done. Therefore, the booster compressor has less energy loss than the cylinder reciprocating air-pressure booster, and the cylinder reciprocating air-pressure booster is the maximum if the high-pressure air amount obtained from the booster compressor with the same electric power is 100%. Only 75% air volume can be obtained.

従って、ブースタ圧縮機は実質的には定格連続運転条件
より数10%程度電力当たりの空気量が減少する。The comparison between the two pressure boosters ignores various conditions such as the environment. In reality, since the booster compressor is driven by an electric motor, when the high pressure air is not required, the idle operation is performed. It is necessary to repeat starting and stopping in anticipation of an appropriate pressure fluctuation after providing a large air tank, which causes an increase in electric power. Further, since the booster compressor has a large vibration noise, there is an operational loss such as a pressure loss when the booster compressor is installed and used in a soundproof room and piping is performed from there.
Therefore, in the booster compressor, the amount of air per electric power is substantially reduced by several tens of% from the rated continuous operation condition.

Is the efficiency ratio for the booster compressor.

There has been a problem that running costs increase. In particular, when the amount of air to be boosted is large, the absolute amount of energy loss is large and the running cost is very high, and the range of use is limited.

とができる。As described above, according to the present invention, the energy recovery cylinder 3 is provided, and the air used in the forward movement of the cylinder is reused by adding it to the driving force at the time of the backward movement before being discharged. Therefore, according to the present invention, the air injected into the working chamber of the pressure boosting cylinder, which was immediately discharged after being used for the compression operation in the conventional air-pressure booster, is discharged again from the use, so that the loss of energy consumption can be greatly reduced. You can Therefore, the problem of large energy loss, which is a disadvantage of the air-pressure booster 1 having the advantages of being smaller in size, lower in noise and vibration, and capable of being installed in any place than the booster compressor, is reduced, and the running cost is reduced. Is approached to be equivalent to. Further, the control of the air-pressure booster of the present invention can be configured by combining a plurality of switching valves, but if the control is performed by one 7-port two-position switching valve 17 as in the above embodiment, a plurality of switching valves can be used. Piping, wiring work, and maintenance are easier and the occupied area can be reduced compared to the switching valve.
