1. An air stop sheet of a piston in a cylinder, the piston being accommodated in an air compressor, and the air stop sheet being accommodated on a plane of a top of a head of the piston, the air stop sheet including a bending section;
wherein the bending section has a positioning zone arranged on a first side thereof and located on the plane of the top of the head, and the bending section further has an acting zone arranged on a second side thereof and configured to close an air channel of the head, wherein the bending section is a boundary line of the acting zone of the air stop sheet and the positioning zone of the air stop sheet so that an obtuse angle less than 180 degrees is formed between a top surface of the air stop sheet and the plane of the top of the head, and a back surface of the acting zone of the air stop sheet facing away from the top of the cylinder is lifted relative to the plane of the top of the head at an open angle (θ), thus producing an air flowing space, the open angle (θ) is formed between the back surface and the plane of the top of the head;
wherein a piston rod of the piston extends downward from the head, and the piston rod includes a cavity defined on a top thereof, an air conduit defined in the cavity and communicating with the air channel of the head, a column extending from a bottom of the cavity, and a spring fitted on the column and extending through the air channel of the head along the cavity of the piston rod so that the spring abuts against the back surface of the acting zone of the air stop sheet, the air stop sheet is pushed by the spring to be lifted at the open angle (θ), and the air conduit and the air channel communicate with atmosphere;
wherein the bending section of the air stop sheet has at least one collapsible guide line, the at least one collapsible guide line comprises a first collapsible guide line and a second collapsible guide line, the first collapsible guide line and the second collapsible guide line are located on a side of the plane of the top of the head,
when the air stop sheet is lifted, an air flows into or out of the cylinder through a gap between the acting zone of the air stop sheet and the plane of the top of the head,
wherein when the acting zone is entirely in contact with the plane of the top of the head, a height of the acting zone is different from a height of the positioning zone, the first collapsible guide line is in contact with the plane of the top of the head, and the second collapsible guide line is distant from the plane of the top of the head,
wherein a distance between the first collapsible guide line and the second collapsible guide line is smaller than a distance between the first collapsible guide line and the air channel, the first collapsible guide line stays in place when the acting zone of the air stop sheet is lifted, and the bending section is formed in a mechanical working manner.
