Abstract

The air compressor contains a casing member, a driving member, and a cylinder member. The casing member has a first accommodation section, a second accommodation section, and a connection section connecting the first and second accommodation sections. The first accommodation section has a number of first inlets and first outlets. The driving member is located between the first and second accommodation sections, and is adjacent to the first outlets. The cylinder member is located both in the second accommodation section and the connection section, and is adjacent to the second outlets. The outside cool air is drawn into the casing member through the first inlets. A portion of the drawn air is released through the first outlets, forming a first flow path for cooling down the driving member. Another portion is released through the second outlets, forming a second flow path for cooling down the cylinder member.
