Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air pumps, and in particular to a rotary reversing air pump for inflation and deflation. Background Technology

[0002] Inflatable products are becoming increasingly common, such as inflatable beds, inflatable swimming pools, and inflatable mats. These inflatable products all need to be inflated for use and also need to be deflated for folding and storage. Currently, inflating inflatable products is generally done using a manual air pump or an electric air pump. The inflation process is typically operated by connecting the air pump to the air valve on the inflatable product. Deflating inflatable products is generally done by opening the air valve and allowing the product to deflate naturally.

[0003] Existing air pumps can also have both inflation and deflation functions. They switch between inflation and deflation by pressing or rotating the corresponding control knobs to control the corresponding mechanical structure changes. However, the structure is relatively complex and not very convenient to use.

[0004] With the continuous upgrading of air pump products, how to design an easy-to-use air pump that combines inflation and deflation functions has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0057] The rotary reversing air pump used for inflation and deflation in this embodiment is used as follows:

[0058] Connect the air pump to the air port of the inflatable product; rotate the knob to the closed position. At this time, under the action of the return spring, the valve core of the one-way valve rotates the second limit part of the reversing cylinder to abut against the rear end of the valve core of the one-way valve. The valve core maintains the rear end position of the forward and backward movement stroke, and the valve plate is in the closed inflation / deflation port state.

[0059] When inflating the product, rotate the knob to the inflation position. At this time, the rotary reversing cylinder rotates accordingly, so that the first flow channel air port is fully aligned with the mounting base connection air port, thereby making the first flow channel air port and the inflation / deflation port fully connected. The fourth flow channel is connected to the mounting base air inlet, and then the fourth flow channel is connected to the inlet / exhaust flow channel and the inlet / exhaust port. The valve core of the one-way valve abuts against the first limit part, and the valve core is at the front end of the forward and backward movement stroke, and the valve plate is in the state of opening the inflation / deflation port. The first trigger part triggers the micro switch, so that the blower motor is energized and works. Under the action of the impeller, air enters from the inlet / exhaust port into the inlet / exhaust flow channel, enters the blower flow channel through the fourth flow channel, and then enters the first flow channel, and enters the interior of the inflatable product through the first flow channel air port, the mounting base connection air port, and the inflation / deflation port.

[0060] After inflation is complete, rotate the knob to the off position. The micro switch will no longer be triggered, the blower motor will stop working, and the second limit part of the rotating reversing cylinder will abut against the rear end of the valve core of the one-way valve. Under the action of the return spring and the action of the air pressure difference inside and outside the valve plate, the valve core of the one-way valve will keep the valve plate in the closed inflation / deflation port state.

[0061] When deflation of the inflated product is required, rotate the knob to the deflation position. At this time, the rotary reversing cylinder rotates accordingly, aligning the second flow channel with the inflation / deflation port and connecting it to the third flow channel. The first flow channel is connected to the exhaust port of the mounting base through the first flow channel air port. The passage between the fourth flow channel and the air inlet of the mounting base is closed by the baffle. The rear end of the valve core of the one-way valve abuts against the third limiting part, so that the valve core is at the front end of the forward and backward movement stroke, and the valve plate is in the state of opening the inflation / deflation port. The second triggering part triggers the micro switch, which powers on the blower motor. Under the action of the impeller and the internal and external pressure difference, air enters the second flow channel from the inflation / deflation port through the mounting base connecting air port, then enters the blower flow channel through the third and fourth flow channels, then enters the first flow channel, and enters the inlet / exhaust flow channel through the first flow channel air port and the mounting base exhaust port, and is then discharged to the outside through the inlet / exhaust port.
