[0070] After the air pump mainframe and the external housing 13 are assembled together, the bottom cover 10 is actually located on the elastic support assembly 14 and the two are in contact with each other.

[0071] like Figure 7-8 As shown, in order to realize the detachable connection between the external shell 13 and the housing 1, two buckle assemblies for connecting with the external shell 13 are symmetrically provided on the outer wall of the housing.

[0077] This embodiment is described in detail by setting two push rods 11, and the number of parts associated with the push rods 11 is consistent with that of the push rods 11; based on this embodiment, those skilled in the art can easily think of setting more than three push rods 11, and the number of parts associated with the push rods 11 is consistent with that of the push rods 11, and the effect of this embodiment can basically be achieved. However, considering factors such as comprehensive cost and function realization, setting two push rods 11 in this embodiment is the optimal solution.

[0078] To sum up, with the structure of the present invention, the air flow inlet and outlet during exhaust or inflation are respectively located at the two ends of the outer shell 1, and the rotating shaft of the motor 3 is arranged axially along the outer shell 1, so that a linear air flow channel is formed in the outer shell 1; the external shell 13 is fixedly connected to large-capacity inflatable products such as inflatable tents, air beds, air cushions, etc. and is connected to the interior of such products; in the initial state, that is, when the air pump connected to large-capacity inflatable products such as inflatable tents, air beds, air cushions, etc. does not need to be inflated or exhausted, the motor 3 is not started. In this embodiment, the air-blocking cover 15 is in contact with the bottom surface of the bottom plate of the external shell 13, and the lower ventilation hole is closed, so that the inflatable product is isolated from the outside.

[0079] like Fig. 9 , Fig.15As shown, when exhaust (exhaust) is required, the rotating cover 7 is rotated counterclockwise. In this process, the sliding cover 8 moves with the rotating cover 7, the magnet 40 contacts the Hall switch 39 located on the right, the motor 3 is started at the same time, and the convex teeth 9 each rotate to the corresponding push rod 11 and squeeze the upper end of the push rod 11, so that the push rod 11 moves longitudinally along the shell 1, and the push rod 11 squeezes the reset spring 12 when moving; at the same time, the lower end of the push rod 11 passes through the bottom cover 10 to squeeze the elastic bracket assembly 14, and the elastic bracket assembly 14 moves longitudinally along the external shell 13, and the air-blocking cover 15 is separated from the bottom plate 1301 of the external shell 13, and the lower ventilation hole is opened; at this time, the sliding cover 8 closes the upper end openings of the first air duct 37 and the second air duct 38, and the lower end opening 3801 of the second air duct 38 passes through the lower center hole 1003, the lower through hole 2802 and the lower ventilation hole are connected with the inflatable product, and the airflow of the inflatable product passes through the lower ventilation hole, the second air duct 38, the sliding cover 8, the first air duct 37 and the lower end opening of the first air duct 37 on the side wall of the mounting bracket in sequence to enter the mounting bracket 2, pass through the motor 3 and the fan blade assembly 5, and then be discharged out of the rotating cover 7 through the ventilation hole 601 and the air flow hole 701a, that is, discharged out of the air pump main unit, to complete the exhaust of large-capacity inflatable products such as inflatable tents, air beds, and air cushions; after the exhaust is completed, the rotating cover 7 is rotated, the convex tooth 9 is disengaged from the upper end of the push rod 11, and the push rod 11 returns to its original position under the action of the reset spring 12, at this time the motor 3 is turned off, the elastic bracket assembly 14 is reset to its initial position, the air-blocking cover 15 closes the lower ventilation hole, and the inflatable product is isolated from the outside.

During this process, the sliding cover 8 moves with the rotating cover 7, the magnet 40 contacts the Hall switch 39 on the left, and the motor 3 is started at the same time. During this process, the movement mode of the top rod 11, the elastic support assembly 14 and the air-locking cover 15 is consistent with the exhaust process, which will not be described in detail here; at this time, the sliding cover 8 closes the upper end opening of the second air duct 38 and a section of the ventilation hole 601, and the fan blade assembly 5 rotates with the motor 3. External air passes through the air flow hole 701a, the ventilation hole 601, the first air duct 37 and the lower end opening of the first air duct 37 on the side wall of the mounting bracket to enter the mounting bracket 2 in sequence. The pressurized air after passing through the motor 3 and the fan blade assembly 5 continues to pass through the sliding cover 8, the second air duct 38, and the lower end opening 3801, and finally enters the inflatable product through the lower ventilation hole for inflation. After inflation is completed, the rotating cover 7 is rotated, the convex tooth 9 is disengaged from the upper end of the push rod 11, and the push rod 11 returns to its original position under the action of the return spring 12. At this time, the motor 3 is turned off, the elastic bracket assembly 14 is reset to the initial position, and the air-blocking cover 15 closes the lower ventilation hole, isolating the inflated product from the outside world.

[0081] In addition to being used in conjunction with the external shell 13 to inflate or exhaust large-capacity inflatable products, the air pump main unit of the present invention can also be removed from the external shell 13 and used as an independent air pump for various purposes such as inflating and exhausting other objects.
