The upper port of the hole is connected to the communication cavity, and both first inner through holes 343 are connected to the communication cavity. A C-shaped groove body 3431 is further provided in the inner cavity. The lower port of the first inner through hole at the second air inlet position is connected to the upper port of the groove body. The air inlet of the second air connection path 212 is connected to the groove body, and air enters the air inlet through the groove body. When the reversing valve core assembly 34 is in the first and second air inlet positions, the valve core plate 341 abuts against the end surface and seals with the outer through hole 241. The drive shaft 35 passes through the sealing plate 24 and is fixed to the valve core plate 341. The sealing plate constitutes a fixed plate.

[0049] The pipeline 2 has an air connecting section 25, a connecting section 26 and an intermediate section 27 arranged between the air connecting section 25 and the connecting section 26; the air connecting section 25 has a tube-in-tube structure and the inner tube constitutes the second air connecting path 212 and the gap between the inner and outer tubes constitutes the first air connecting path 211; the upper edge of the intermediate section 27 extends upward to form a peripheral wall 271, and a cover plate 272 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the peripheral wall 271. The sealing plate 24 is fixed in the peripheral wall 271 and the peripheral wall 271 and the sealing plate 24 and the cover plate 272 constitute the outer chamber 23, and the inner chamber 22 is formed in the intermediate section 27 and under the sealing plate 24. The peripheral wall 271 is provided with the connecting port 231 and the outer port 232. The connecting section 26 is connected to the connecting port 231 and the air pump 1 is arranged in the connecting section 26. Furthermore, the air connecting section 25 is fixedly provided with a first connecting seat 251 protruding into the middle section 27, and the upper end face of the first connecting seat 251 is provided with an air connecting port connected to the second air connecting path 212 of the inner tube, and the first connecting seat 251 seals the upper and middle part of the gap between the inner and outer tubes, and the above-mentioned groove body 3431 is provided on the upper end face of the first connecting seat 251; the connecting section 26 is fixedly provided with a second connecting seat 261 protruding into the middle section 27, and the second connecting seat 261 is provided with a through hole 262 running through the upper and lower parts, and the inner chamber 22 connects the lower part of the gap between the inner and outer tubes and the connecting section 26; the valve core plate 341 is abutted against the first connecting seat 251 and the second connecting seat 261, and the through hole 262 can cooperate with the first inner through hole (aligned and connected when in the exhaust state, and sealed and staggered in the first and second intake states), and the air connecting port can cooperate with the first inner through hole; the outer end of the drive shaft is sealed and extends out of the cover plate 272, and the operating member is fixed to the outer end extending out of the drive shaft. A one-way valve 263 is provided between the air pump and the inner chamber of the connecting section 26. In the specific structure, the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat are connected together and provided with the above-mentioned groove body.

[0050] The first connecting seat 251 has a recessed air inlet with a control valve 28. This control valve 28 can switch between a one-way state and an open state. A downwardly extending portion around a first inner through hole of the valve core plate 341 forms a support protrusion 346, so that the bottom surface of the valve core plate 341 includes the support protrusion 346 and the remaining area. The bottom surface of the valve core plate 341 cooperates with the control valve 28, and the support protrusion 346 compresses the control valve 28, thereby switching it to an open state or a one-way state. When the reversing valve core assembly 34 is in the exhaust position, the support protrusion 346 compresses the control valve 28, causing the control valve 28 to be in the open state, and gas in the air cavity is exhausted to the outside through the control valve, the first inner through hole, etc. When in the first and second air intake positions, the remaining area cooperates with the control valve 28, causing the control valve 28 to be in a one-way state (a one-way valve). In the second air intake position, outside air enters the air inlet through the second inner through hole, and the control valve is opened in a one-way manner to inflate the second air inlet. The control valve 28 includes a plug that can be movably connected up and down in the air inlet and a third elastic body provided in the air inlet. The third elastic body pushes against the plug from the inside to the outside. The plug can move between an open position and a closed position relative to the air inlet. The plug pushes against the bottom surface of the valve core plate. When the push-button convex seat 346 cooperates with the control valve, the push-button convex seat can push against the plug to put it in the open position. When the rest of the area cooperates with the control valve 28 and is in the second air inlet position, the outside air drives the plug to slide downward to the open position through the first internal through hole so that the outside air can pass through the control valve to pump air into the second air inlet. When there is no outside air or the outside air pressure is low, the control valve is in the closed position. The above structure can meet the requirements that the control valve is in the open state when in the exhaust state and is in the one-way valve state in other states (including the inflation state), thereby improving the inflation and exhaust performance.

[0051] A second elastic body 345 is provided between the air-isolating plate 342 and the middle section 27. The second elastic body 345 is sleeved on the air-isolating plate 342 and presses against the bottom of the inner cavity of the middle section 27 and the flange protruding on the air-isolating plate 342. Firstly, it can make the valve core plate seal against the sealing plate to enhance the sealing performance. Secondly, when the operating part is rotated, the reversing valve core group can be moved downward by pressing the operating part to reduce the friction between the valve core plate and the sealing plate. Thirdly, it can increase the operating feel.

[0052] The massage pool includes a pool body and a massage pool air path device; the pool body is surrounded by a pool cavity, and the pool body is provided with a first air inlet connected to the pool cavity; an air cavity is formed in the pool body and a second air inlet connected to the air cavity; the first air inlet and the second air inlet are respectively connected to the first air inlet and the second air inlet.

[0053] Another embodiment differs from the previous embodiment in that a control valve 28 is provided at the recessed air inlet of the first connecting seat 251. The control valve 28 can switch between a one-way state and an open state. The two first inner through-holes of the valve core plate 341 are both extended downwardly to form abutment protrusions 346 around their respective bottom surfaces, so that the valve core plate 341 has two abutment protrusions 346 and a remaining area. The bottom surface of the valve core plate 341 cooperates with the control valve 28, and the abutment protrusions 346 press against the control valve 28 to adjust the valve to an open state or a one-way state. When the reversing valve core assembly 34 is in the exhaust position or the second intake position, the abutment protrusions 346 press against the control valve 28, causing the control valve 28 to be in the open state. When the reversing valve core assembly 34 is in the first intake position, the abutment protrusions 346 press against the control valve 28, causing the control valve 28 to be in the first intake position. When the reversing valve core assembly 34 is in the first intake position, the remaining area cooperates with the control valve 28 to cause the control valve 28 to be in a one-way state (a one-way valve).

[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and therefore cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention. In other words, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the present invention and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
