Technical Field

[0002] A general automatic inflatable cushion is a closed soft container with a foam elastic material and an air nozzle at the opening of the soft container. When the automatic inflatable cushion is curled and folded, the air in the container can be squeezed out from the opening, and the air nozzle is then used in a closed state to prevent air from entering the container, so that the inflatable cushion is maintained in a squeezed state and is easy to store. When the air nozzle is opened to allow air to circulate, the foam elastic material uses its elastic recovery properties to expand the inflatable cushion, and the air nozzle is then used in a closed state to keep the inflatable cushion in an inflated state for use.

[0042] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0043] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the features of the following embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0044] like Figures 1 to 12As shown, the utility model provides an inflation and deflation control device for controlling the inflation and deflation of an inflatable object, which comprises: a base 10, a check valve 40 that can slide along the axial direction of the base 10, and a cap 20 that can be rotatably connected to the base 10; wherein the base 10 has an inner cavity 11 that allows the inside of the inflatable object to communicate with the outside; the check valve 40 comprises a valve seat 41 and a valve flap 42 attached to the valve seat 41, and an inflation channel 92 is formed on the valve seat 41, and the valve flap 42 is configured to allow airflow to be filled into the inflatable object through the inflation channel 92, but to restrict airflow from being discharged to the outside through the inflation channel 92. It should be noted that the valve flap 42 is made of a flexible material such as silicone, and is clamped on the bottom of the valve seat 41 to form a sealed connection. The shape of the valve flap 42 is an arched structure. When external airflow enters, the airflow can drive the valve flap 42 to deform to form a gap between the valve flap 42 and the valve seat 41 to form an inflation channel 92, thereby filling the airflow into the inflatable object; when the external airflow stops inflating, the valve flap 42 will abut against the valve seat 41 under the pressure inside the inflatable object to form a seal to prevent the inflatable object from leaking. Preferably, a sealing structure is also formed at the top of the inner cavity 11, thereby forming a double sealing structure with the check valve 40, further ensuring the airtightness inside the inflatable object.
[0045] like Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the inflated state in this embodiment, Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment in the deflated state. The check valve 40 is configured to be movable between a first position and a second position; Figure 3 As shown, the valve seat 41 and the base 10 are sealed and connected at the first position; the airflow can enter the inner cavity 11 through the airflow inlet 21, and then drive the valve flap 42 to undergo elastic deformation so that the airflow is filled into the inflatable object; Figure 4 As shown, the valve seat 41 and the base 10 are configured to be separated at the second position to form a deflation channel 91 therebetween, and the airflow in the inflatable object is discharged to the outside through the deflation channel 91. With the above structural design, even if the cap 20 is rotated to the inflated state, the gas inside the inflatable object will not flow to the outside, thereby ensuring the airtightness inside the inflatable object, while also avoiding the problem of gas leakage caused by the cap 20 being rotated by mistake, and having good practicality.
[0046] like Figure 1-7As shown, the cap 20 is rotatably connected to the base 10, and the top of the cap 20 has at least one airflow inlet 21 connected to the inner cavity 11 of the base 10, so that during the inflation and deflation process, the airflow can flow between the inflatable object and the outside world through the airflow inlet 21; in addition, a first sealing ring 81 is also configured between the cap 20 and the base 10 to ensure the sealing between the two, and to ensure that the airflow in the inflatable object will not flow out in the closed state. The outer wall of the base 10 is constructed with a first guide portion 16 and a second guide portion 17, the first guide portion 16 is suitable for guiding the cap 20 to rotate within a first angle range, and the second guide portion 17 is suitable for guiding the cap 20 to rotate within a second angle range.
[0047] Specifically, the first guide portion 16 is configured as a spiral groove arranged around the outer wall of the base 10, and the cap 20 has a slider 22 adapted to the spiral groove. The spiral groove gradually extends upward along the axial direction of the base 10, thereby guiding the cap 20 to gradually move upward while rotating within a first angle range, so that the cap 20 is separated from the base 10, so that the external airflow can enter the inner cavity 11 through the airflow inlet 21 at the top of the cap 20, and then inflate the inflatable object; the second guide portion 17 is configured as an annular groove arranged along the circumference of the base 10, and the annular groove is suitable for guiding the slider 22 to slide in the circumference of the base 10, thereby guiding the cap 20 to rotate within a second angle range, thereby deflating the inflatable object.
[0048] There is a transition groove connecting the first guide portion 16 and the second guide portion 17. Specifically, the annular groove is located at the tail end of the spiral groove and is connected to the spiral groove, so that the cap 20 can move directly from the inflation position for inflating the inflatable to the deflation position for deflation; of course, in order to facilitate the user to distinguish the operation action, the annular groove is located above the spiral groove. When the user needs to deflate, it is necessary to apply force upward to lift the cap 20 to avoid the user directly reaching the deflation position from the inflation position when operating the cap 20 to rotate, thereby reducing the probability of misoperation; further, a stopper 18 is provided in the transition groove, and the stopper 18 is configured to prevent the slider 22 from entering the second guide portion 17 from the transition groove when the cap 20 is not subjected to a pulling force along the axial direction of the cap 20. In this embodiment, the stopper 18 is configured as a step between the spiral groove and the annular groove, so that when the user needs to deflate, he needs to use a large force to lift the cap 20 upward, so that the slider 22 transitions from the spiral groove to the annular groove, and then the cap 20 can be guided to rotate within the second angle range to achieve the deflation function of the inflatable. Preferably, the two side surfaces of the slider 22 facing the stopper 18 are formed with inclined surfaces, so that the slider 22 can easily cross the stopper 18.
[0049] Preferably, in this embodiment, the inner wall of the cap 20 has three sliders 22 arranged equidistantly along the circumferential direction; the first guide portion 16 and the second guide portion 17 are respectively provided with three sliders to improve the stability of the rotation between the cap 20 and the base 10 and prevent the cap 20 from being separated from the base 10. In order to facilitate the user to rotate the cap 20, the outer surface of the cap 20 has a plurality of strip columns extending in the radial direction to increase the friction force on the surface of the cap 20. Further, as Figure 1 As shown, one side of the outer wall of the cap 20 has a rib 23, and three guide blocks 14 are arranged on the base 10 along the circumferential direction, wherein the angle between the first guide block 14 and the second guide block 14 is the first angle range, and the angle between the second guide block 14 and the third guide block 14 is the second angle range, so that when the user is in use, he can also judge the inflation and deflation state of the control device by the position of the guide block 14 corresponding to the rib 23, thereby improving the convenience of use. It should be noted that the first angle range is 90-120 degrees, and the second angle range is 30-60 degrees; in this embodiment, the first angle is 120 degrees, and the second angle is 30 degrees.
[0050] like Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, the cap 20 is connected to the check valve 40 via a driving mechanism 30, and the driving mechanism 30 is configured as follows: when the cap 20 rotates within a second angle range, the driving mechanism 30 and the check valve 40 are dynamically coupled so that the check valve 40 moves from the first position to the second position; when the cap 20 rotates within a first angle range, the driving mechanism 30 and the check valve 40 are dynamically decoupled so that the check valve 40 is maintained at the first position.
[0051] The driving mechanism 30 includes: a driving rod 31, which is configured to move in response to the operation of the cap 20; and a power transmission unit 32, which is suitable for associating the driving rod 31 and the check valve 40 to transmit the driving force of the driving rod 31 to the check valve 40; wherein, when the driving rod 31 rotates within the second angle range, the power transmission unit 32 is dynamically coupled with the check valve 40 so that the check valve 40 moves from the first position to the second position; when the driving rod 31 rotates within the first angle range, the power transmission unit 32 is dynamically decoupled with the check valve 40 so that the check valve 40 is maintained at the first position.
[0052] One end of the driving rod 31 is fixed to the cap 20, and the other end thereof is connected to the power transmission unit 32; specifically, the driving rod 31 has a sealing portion 31a and a driving portion, and the driving portion is suitable for driving the power transmission unit 32 to rotate; wherein the sealing portion 31a is configured to form a sealing connection with the wall of the inner cavity 11, and gradually separates from the base 10 during the rotation of the cap 20 along the first guide portion 16, so as to form a charging and discharging channel 91 between the two. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the sealing portion 31a is formed at the upper end of the driving rod 31, and can be used to seal the top of the inner cavity 11 to prevent the inflatable material from communicating with the external environment, and a second sealing ring 82 is provided between the sealing portion 31a and the inner wall of the inner cavity 11; when the cap 20 rotates within a first angle range, the driving rod 31 will rotate with the cap 20 and move upward, thereby causing the sealing portion 31a to detach from the inner cavity 11, so that the inner cavity 11 is connected to the air flow inlet 21 on the cap 20.
[0053] In this embodiment, the power transmission unit 32 includes a pair of upper driving members 321 and lower driving members 322 that cooperate with each other, the upper driving member 321 is coupled to the driving rod 31, and the lower driving member 322 is suitable for driving the check valve 40 to move from the first position to the second position. Specifically, the upper driving member 321 and the lower driving member 322 realize power disconnection and coupling through a protrusion structure: the protrusion structure includes a pair of lower protrusions 321c formed at the bottom of the upper driving member 321; and a pair of upper protrusions 322a formed at the top of the lower driving member 322; wherein the pair of upper protrusions 322a and the pair of lower protrusions 321c are staggered with each other, so that when the cap 20 drives the driving rod 31 to rotate within a first angle range, at this time, the upper protrusion 322a and the lower protrusion 321c remain in a staggered state, that is, in a power decoupling state, so only the upper driving member 321 rotates with the driving rod 31; when the cap 20 drives the driving rod 31 to rotate within a second angle range, the upper protrusion 322a and the lower protrusion 321c abut against each other, thereby driving the lower driving member 322 to rotate together.
[0054] The driving part of the driving rod 31 cooperates with the upper driving member 321. Specifically, a "plum blossom-shaped" through hole 321a or a "cross-shaped" through hole 321a is formed in the middle of the upper driving member 321, and the driving part of the driving rod 31 is correspondingly provided with a rod shape that is adapted to the shape of the through hole 321a to improve the stability of the connection between the two. The above-mentioned structural design can allow the driving rod 31 to drive the upper driving member 321 to rotate while allowing the driving part to slide up and down along the upper driving member 321.
[0055] In addition, in order to ensure that the upper driving member 321 can be maintained at the set position, a first limiting structure is arranged between the upper driving member 321 and the base 10, and the first limiting structure is configured to allow the upper driving member 321 to rotate with the driving rod 31 and limit its upward and downward movement with the driving rod 31, thereby improving the stability of the rotation of the upper driving member 321. Figure 7-Figure 9 As shown, the first limiting structure includes a step portion 12 formed on the side wall of the inner cavity 11 of the base 10, and the step portion 12 can maintain the axial position of the upper driving member 321 in the inner cavity 11; in addition, the first limiting structure also includes elastic clamping portions 321b arranged on both sides of the first driving rod 31, and the side wall of the inner cavity 11 of the base 10 has a clamping groove 13 adapted to the elastic clamping portion 321b, and the elastic clamping portion 321b and the clamping groove 13 are both conical structures. There are four clamping grooves 13, wherein the angle between one group of adjacent clamping grooves 13 corresponds to the first angle range, and the angle between another group of adjacent clamping grooves 13 corresponds to the second angle range, and the angles between the four clamping grooves 13 are arranged in a cycle in sequence. The above-mentioned structural design increases the resistance to the rotation of the upper driving member 321, thereby avoiding the probability of the cap 20 being misoperated and improving the safety of use.
[0056] An actuating portion 322b is formed at the bottom of the lower driving member 322, and the upper end of the valve seat 41 has an abutting protrusion 411 adapted to the actuating portion 322b. When the lower driving member 322 is rotated in conjunction with the upper driving member 321, the actuating portion 322b will press the valve seat 41 downward through the abutting protrusion 411 to form an air release channel 91, so that the airflow in the inflatable object is discharged to the outside through the air release channel 91; of course, in other embodiments, the positions of the abutting protrusion 411 and the actuating portion 322b can be interchanged, and the utility model is not limited to this.
[0057] Of course, in some embodiments, the driving mechanism 30 can also adopt a screw push block structure, and the driving rod 31 has a smooth portion and a threaded portion. When the cap 20 rotates within a first angle range, the smooth portion rotates in the push block and moves axially upward; when the cap 20 rotates within a second angle range, the threaded portion is connected to the thread in the push block to drive the push block to move downward, thereby pushing the check valve 40 from the first position to the second position for deflation. Of course, it can also be other forms of transmission structures, such as lever structures, cam structures, etc., as long as the power disconnection and coupling are realized. The utility model is not limited to this.
[0058] Furthermore, it also includes a bottom cylinder 5 attached to the bottom of the base 10, and a cavity for limiting the movement of the check valve 40 is defined between the bottom cylinder 5 and the base 10 to ensure the stability of the check valve 40 in being able to move between the first position and the second position.
