[0036] The technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic structural diagram of the air exchange structure 1 of an electric air pump shown in an embodiment of the present application. The air exchange structure 1 of the electric air pump includes a housing 100, an inflation button 700, a deflation button 800, and a cover plate 200. The cover plate 200 is covered on the top of the housing 100 by means of snap connection, bolt connection, etc. A first opening 110 is provided on the side wall of the housing 100, and a protective net 120 is provided on the housing 100 at the position of the first opening 110; a second opening 210 is provided on the cover plate 200, and a wind guide strip 211 is provided on the cover plate 200 at the position of the second opening 210. The wind guide strip 211 divides the second opening 210 into a plurality of strip-shaped air vents.

[0038] Among them, the air exchange structure 1 of the electric air pump can be applied to an electric air pump for inflating and deflating inflatable products such as inflatable mattresses or inflatable beds.

[0039] When the electric air pump is in the initial state, the first opening 110 serves as the air outlet of the electric air pump, and the second opening 210 serves as the air inlet of the electric air pump. At this time, the electric air pump can be used for inflation. When the air duct in the electric air pump is switched, the first opening 110 serves as the air inlet of the electric air pump, and the second opening 210 serves as the air outlet of the electric air pump. At this time, the electric air pump can be used for deflation.

When the inflation button 700 is pressed, the electric air pump inflates, and when the deflation button 800 is pressed, the electric air pump deflates.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 , which is an exploded view of the ventilation structure 1 of the electric air pump shown in an embodiment of the present application. The ventilation structure 1 of the electric air pump includes an inflation component 300, a main control circuit board 400, a reversing plate 510, a linkage mechanism 500 and a micro switch 600. The inflation component 300 includes an inflation motor 350, the main control circuit board 400 is arranged in the housing 100, and is electrically connected to the inflation motor 350; a key board 430 is provided on the main control circuit board 400, and an inflation button 700 is connected to the main control circuit board 400 through the key board 430, and is used to control the start or shut down of the inflation motor 350.

[0042] The linkage mechanism 500 is arranged in the shell 100, and the deflation button 800 is connected to the reversing plate 510 by transmission, so as to drive the reversing plate 510 to move along with the movement of the deflation button 800, so that when the deflation button 800 is pressed, the reversing plate 510 moves a certain distance under the drive of the linkage mechanism 500, thereby changing the docking relationship between the reversing plate 510 and the inflation component 300, so that the internal airway of the electric air pump is switched, so that the present application can be used for both inflation and deflation.

[0043] The micro switch 600 is connected to a micro switch fixing member 540, and the micro switch 600 is arranged on the linkage mechanism 500 through the micro switch fixing member 540, and is connected to the main control circuit board 400. The micro switch 600 can detect the movement of the deflation button 800, so that the main control circuit board 400 can control the opening or closing of the inflation motor 350.

[0044] The main control circuit board 400 is provided with an air pressure sensor 410. The air pressure sensor 410 can be connected to an inflatable product such as an air bed or an inflatable mattress through a soft air pipe to detect the internal air pressure of the inflatable product such as an inflatable bed or an inflatable mattress. Among them, electrical components such as a processor and a controller can be set on the main control circuit board 400.

[0045] In this embodiment, the internal air pressure of an inflatable product such as an air bed or an air mattress can be detected by a pressure sensor 410, and then the inflation motor 350 can be controlled to operate through the main control circuit board 400, so that when the internal air pressure of the inflatable product is too low, the inflation button 700 can be manually triggered, and then the inflation component 300 can be controlled to operate through the main control circuit board 400 for inflation operation; when the internal air pressure of the inflatable product is too high, the deflation button 800 can be manually triggered to switch the air passage, and then the inflation component 300 can be controlled to operate through the main control circuit board 400 for deflation operation; or when the internal air pressure of the inflatable product reaches a preset value, the inflation motor 350 can be stopped by the main control circuit board 400 to stop the inflation operation or deflation operation of the electric air pump.

[0046] A power cord 420 is connected to the main control circuit board 400. The power cord 420 passes through the cover plate 200 and is connected to an external power supply for power supply. The air exchange structure 1 of the electric air pump further includes a wire box 421. One side of the cover plate 200 is hinged with the wire box 421. The wire box 421 is connected to the housing 100 by a snap connection. The wire box 421 can be opened and closed, and the power cord 420 can be stored in the box.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 3 , which is an exploded view of the air exchange structure 1 of the electric air pump shown in an embodiment of the present application. The air exchange structure 1 of the electric air pump further includes a power board 422 connected to the main control circuit board 400 and a power board protective cover 423 arranged outside the power board 422. The power board 422 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 200. At the same time, the power board 422 is connected to the power cord 420, and the power cord 420 is fixed to the cover plate 200 through the power board 422. During an operation process, the power board 422 is connected to the inflation motor 350. When the power cord 420 is connected to the power supply, the power board 422 can send a signal, and the main control circuit board 400 controls the inflation motor 350 to start running.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 4 , which is a cross-sectional view of a partial structure of the air exchange structure 1 of the electric air pump shown in an embodiment of the present application. The inflation component 300 is arranged in the housing 100 and is used for compressing air. The inflation component 300 includes a wind leaf 310, a wind leaf cover 320, an air sealing plate 330, a motor cover 340 and an inflation motor 350. The wind leaf 310 is arranged in the wind leaf cover 320; the air sealing plate 330 is arranged at the bottom of the wind leaf cover 320; the motor cover 340 is connected to the top of the wind leaf cover 320 by bolts; the inflation motor 350 is connected to the motor cover 340 by bolts. The main shaft of the inflation motor 350 is in transmission connection with the wind leaf 310, and the inflation motor 350 is electrically connected to the main control circuit board 400.

[0049] The air outlet hole 360 and the air inlet hole 370 are provided on the blower housing 320, and the air outlet hole 360 and the air inlet hole 370 are arranged at an interval in the vertical direction. The air inlet hole 370 is located below, and the air outlet hole 360 is located above.

[0050] The air vent hole 512 is provided on the reversing plate 510, and the inflating assembly 300 has an air outlet hole 360 and an air inlet hole 370; when the reversing plate 510 moves to the first preset position, the air vent hole 512 is docked with the air outlet hole 360; when the reversing plate 510 moves to the second preset position, the air vent hole 512 is docked with the air inlet hole 370. In this embodiment, the movement of the reversing plate 510 from the first preset position to the second preset position is a vertically downward movement.

[0051] That is, when the reversing plate 510 moves to the first preset position, the air vent hole 512 is docked with the air outlet hole 360. At this time, the air duct in the electric air pump is the air inflating duct, the first opening 110 is the air outlet of the electric air pump, and the second opening 210 is the air inlet of the electric air pump. When the inflating assembly 300 works, the air flow sequentially passes through the second opening 210, the air inlet hole 370, the air outlet hole 360, the air vent hole 512 and the first opening 110.

[0052] When the reversing plate 510 moves to the second preset position under the action of the linkage mechanism 500, the air vent hole 512 is docked with the air inlet hole 370, then the air duct in the electric air pump is switched, the first opening 110 is changed to the air inlet of the electric air pump, and the second opening 210 is changed to the air outlet of the electric air pump. At this time, the air duct in the electric air pump is the air deflating duct. When the inflating assembly 300 works, the air flow sequentially passes through the first opening 110, the air vent hole 512, the air inlet hole 370, the air outlet hole 360 and the second opening 210.

[0053] During an operation process, when the deflating button 800 is pressed, the reversing plate 510 moves to the second preset position, the air duct in the electric air pump is switched to the air deflating duct, and the inflating motor 350 is started under the action of the micro switch 600, and the electric air pump deflates. When the deflating button 800 is reset, the reversing plate 510 moves to the first preset position, the air duct in the electric air pump is switched to the air inflating duct, and the inflating motor 350 waits for an inflating instruction (inflating button 700).

[0054] Please refer to Figure 5 , which is a partial structural schematic diagram of the air exchange structure 1 of the electric air pump shown in an embodiment of the present application. The linkage mechanism 500 includes an integrated board 520, a cam 560, a support rod 530 and a deflating spring 550. The integrated board 520 is fixed to the housing 100 by bolts. The integrated board 520 can be a bent board, and a step matching the integrated board 520 can be provided in the housing 100 to make the integrated board 520 fixed more firmly.

[0055] One end of the cam 560 is a connecting portion 561, and the other end is a movable end portion 562. A sliding groove 564 is provided in the middle of the cam 560. A rotating shaft 563 made of stainless steel, plastic or other materials is provided on the connecting portion 561. The cam 560 is rotatably arranged on the integrated board 520 through the rotating shaft 563. The movable end portion 562 can abut against the top of the reversing plate 510, so that the reversing plate 510 can reciprocate (switch between the first preset position and the second preset position) under the drive of the movable end portion 562. Among them, the surface where the top of the reversing plate 510 abuts against the movable end portion 562 is called the connecting surface 511. In this embodiment, the connecting surface 511 is a convex arc.

[0056] One end of the support rod 530 is connected to the air release button 800, and a second protrusion 532 is provided at the other end. The second protrusion 532 is arranged in the sliding groove 564. When the support rod 530 moves downward, under the action of the protrusion and the sliding groove 564, the cam 560 rotates downward. When the support rod 530 moves upward, under the action of the protrusion and the sliding groove 564, the cam 560 rotates upward.

[0057] In the initial state, the air exchange structure 1 of the electric air pump is an inflation air passage, and the reversing plate 510 is in the first preset position. When the air release button 800 is pressed, the support rod 530 moves downward by a certain distance, and the cam 560 rotates by a certain angle, so that the reversing plate 510 moves downward by a certain distance to reach the second preset position, and the air exchange structure 1 of the electric air pump is switched to the air release air passage.

[0058] One end of the air release spring 550 is connected to the reversing plate 510, and the other end is connected to the inner bottom of the housing 100; it is used to buffer vibration.

[0059] The reversing plate 510 includes a main board 516, a T-shaped rod 515, a frame 517, a clamping plate 518, and a spring installation groove 519. The ventilation hole 512 is provided on the main board 516; the T-shaped rod 515 is arranged on the main board 516, and the connecting surface 511 is arranged on the T-shaped rod 515; the frame 517 is arranged at the ventilation hole 512 of the main board 516 and is connected to the T-shaped rod 515; the clamping plate 518 is arranged on the frame 517, and the spring installation groove 519 is arranged at the bottom of the frame 517 for installing the air release spring 550.

[0060] Among them, the top height of the main board 516 is higher than the highest height of the connecting surface 511, so that the main board 516 has a limiting step 514 exceeding the connecting surface 511, thereby restricting the movement of the cam 560 along the direction of the rotating shaft 563.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 6, which is a partial schematic structural diagram of the air exchange structure 1 of the electric air pump shown in an embodiment of the present application. The linkage mechanism 500 further includes an inverted buckle 570, a solenoid valve fixing member 581, and a solenoid valve 580. The inverted buckle 570 is provided on the integrated board 520. A first protrusion 531 is provided on the support rod 530. The inverted buckle 570 is used to engage with the first protrusion 531 to limit the movement of the support rod 530. The solenoid valve fixing member 581 is provided on the integrated board 520. The solenoid valve 580 is provided on the solenoid valve fixing member 581 and is connected to the main control circuit board 400, and is used to push the inverted buckle 570 to control the engagement relationship between the inverted buckle 570 and the first protrusion 531.

[0062] During an operation process, when the air release button 800 is pressed, the reversing plate 510 moves to the second preset position, and the air exchange structure 1 of the electric air pump switches to the air release air passage. At the same time, the support rod 530 moves downward, and the inverted buckle 570 engages with the first protrusion 531 of the support rod 530, making the air release button 800 unable to reset immediately. At this time, the air release button 800 is trapped in the second hole 230. It is not until the air pressure sensor 410 detects that the internal air pressure of the inflated product reaches the preset value that the main control circuit board 400 then makes the solenoid valve 580 push the inverted buckle 570, causing the inverted buckle 570 to disengage from the support rod 530, enabling the air release button 800 to reset, the reversing plate 510 to return to the first preset position, and the air exchange structure 1 of the electric air pump to return to the inflation air passage.

[0063] During an operation process, when the air release button 800 is pressed, the reversing plate 510 moves to the second preset position, and the air exchange structure 1 of the electric air pump switches to the air release air passage. At the same time, the support rod 530 moves downward, and the inverted buckle 570 engages with the first protrusion 531 of the support rod 530, making the air release button 800 unable to reset immediately. At this time, the air release button 800 is trapped in the second hole 230. When it is necessary to stop the air release, manually press the air release button 800.
