[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0026] Embodiment

[0027] A wireless control system for an air pump, as Figure 1 shown, includes an air pump body and an interaction software. A wireless communication module, a tire pressure monitoring module and a control module are arranged inside the air pump body, and an inflation button is arranged outside the air pump body.

[0028] The wireless communication module is used for wireless communication with the interaction software. The tire pressure monitoring module is used for real-time monitoring of the pressure value of the device to be inflated. The wireless communication module and the tire pressure monitoring module are both electrically connected to the control module.

[0029] After the air pump body is wirelessly communicatively connected to the interaction software, it can receive the inflation instruction of the interaction software, control the air pump to enter the inflation standby state through the control module, and start inflation only after the inflation button is pressed. During the inflation process, the pressure value monitored by the tire pressure monitoring module is transmitted back to the interaction software in real time.

[0030] Specifically, the wireless control method of the air pump in this embodiment receives the wireless communication of the interaction software by setting a wireless communication module inside the air pump body, so as to perform the inflation operation of the air pump on the operation interface of the interaction software. On the interface of the interaction software, there are detailed settings such as the connection switch ON / OFF button, the display of the air pressure value of the device to be inflated, the air pressure setting plus / minus buttons, the selection of the model of the device to be inflated, etc. By turning on the switch ON / OFF button, the software can be connected to the wireless communication module inside the air pump body. After connection, relevant operations can be performed on the software interface, including the selection of the model of the device to be inflated, such as the type of car, the type of motorcycle, the type of bicycle, etc. Then, the appropriate inflation value for the device is set. After confirmation, the air pump enters the inflation standby state. After the user confirms the connection between the air pump and the device to be inflated, inflation starts by pressing the inflation button on the air pump body, realizing one-key inflation, which is very convenient. The air pump realizes a dual confirmation mechanism of software and hardware, avoiding misoperation of the air pump or the software unilaterally. Among them, the interaction software can be an APP or a small program, etc., and the interaction software can be installed on various devices such as mobile phones, tablets, computers, intelligent vehicle systems, etc.

[0031] It should be noted that the inflation principle of the air pump body is prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0032] Preferably, the interaction software has a memory function and can automatically memorize and save the parameter settings of the connected devices. Therefore, for the devices that have been inflated, when inflating again, the user can directly inflate without setting parameters, avoiding repeated operations by the user and increasing work efficiency and experience.

[0033] Preferably, the interactive software can also obtain data information of the device to be inflated from a third party, automatically set parameters according to the data information, and form a memory for storage. The interactive software can obtain and save some parameters of the device to be inflated from a third party, such as the model and inflation pressure value. When the device inflated by the user is the device that has been saved, the user does not need to set the inflation parameters, realizing presetting and facilitating the user's inflation operation. For example, if the tire inflation value of Li Auto L6 obtained from a third party is 2.6 kPa, when the user inflates the Li Auto L6, after selecting the vehicle model, the user can click the inflation button without manually inputting the inflation value, avoiding the need for the user to remember or query the inflation values of various types of devices.

[0034] Preferably, the wireless communication module includes, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth connection module, a WiFi connection module, and an NFC connection module.

[0035] A method for wirelessly controlling an air pump implemented by an air pump wireless control system, as Figure 2 shown, includes the following steps:

[0036] S1. Open the interactive software, turn on the connection switch button ON in the interface, wirelessly connect to the air pump. After the connection, select the model of the device to be inflated in the interface of the interactive software, set the inflation pressure value, and click the inflation command button. If it is the first connection of the air pump, connect manually; if not, connect automatically. The technical principle is an existing technology, such as the connection of a Bluetooth headset. The wireless connection includes, but is not limited to, Bluetooth connection, WiFi connection, and NFC connection.

[0037] S2. Transmit the inflation command to the air pump. After receiving the command, the air pump enters the inflation standby state and sends the standby signal back to the interactive software. And the interactive software can automatically remember the parameter settings. This technology is an existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0038] S3. Connect the air pump to the device to be inflated, press the inflation button on the air pump body, and the air pump will automatically inflate to the set pressure value; and during the inflation process, the pressure value will be transmitted back to the interactive software in real time for the user to understand the inflation situation.

[0039] Example: Click the connection switch on the interactive software to establish a Bluetooth connection with the air pump. After the connection, select the Li Auto L6 model on the interactive software interface, set the inflation value to 2.6 kPa, click "Inflate", and then connect the air pump to the tire of the Li Auto L6 to be inflated. At this time, the user can press the inflation button, and the air pump will start inflating the tire to 2.6 kPa, achieving one-key full inflation of the air pump. Moreover, the next time inflating the Li Auto L6, after the interactive software is connected to the air pump, due to memory storage, the inflation value will be automatically set after selecting the Li Auto L6, without the need for the user to manually input the inflation value setting. If the inflation value of the Li Auto L6 has been obtained and saved by the interactive software from a third party, then after the user connects, even if it is the first connection, after selecting the Li Auto L6 type, the inflation value can be automatically set according to the data of the third party without manual input.

[0040] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described in the specification, these embodiments are only for reference and should not limit the protection scope of the present invention. All omissions, substitutions, and changes made within the scope of the gist of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
