[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0031] Embodiment 1:

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a split piston-connecting rod structure, and the piston-connecting rod structure includes:

[0033] A piston 100, wherein the piston 100 is in a cylindrical shape with openings at both ends, a first piston ring 110 is sleeved on the outer side of the piston 100, and a pin hole 101 is provided on the piston 100, the pin hole 101 penetrating the side wall of the first piston ring 110 and the axis of the pin hole 101 is perpendicular to the axis of the piston 100;

[0034] A connecting rod 200, one end of which is located in the piston 100, and the connecting rod 200 is rotatably mounted on the pin hole 101 through a piston pin 400;

[0035] The one-way valve 300 is disposed at one end of the piston 100 away from the connecting rod 200 .

[0036] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, one end of the connecting rod 200 away from the piston 100 is installed on the crankshaft 610 located in the body 600, and the piston 100 is installed in the compression chamber 620 located in the body 600, and the piston 100 can slide in the compression chamber 620. When the crankshaft 610 rotates, the crankshaft 610 drives the piston 100 to slide in the compression chamber 620. At this time, the connecting rod 200 rotates around the piston pin 400, so that the lateral force on the connecting rod 200 is small, so that it is less deformed during the working process, thereby extending the service life of the connecting rod 200.

[0037] Furthermore, when the piston-connecting rod structure moves toward the direction of the crankshaft 610, negative pressure is generated in the compression chamber 620, and the gas entering the body 600 enters the one-way valve 300 through the piston 100. The gas pushes open the one-way valve 300 and enters the compression chamber 620. When the piston-connecting rod structure moves away from the crankshaft 610, the piston-connecting rod structure compresses the air, so that the gas in the compression chamber 620 enters the air spring.

[0038] Therefore, the piston-connecting rod structure in this embodiment adopts a split structural design, which has small lateral force, small swing angle, long service life, simple assembly, and a split structure of the piston and the connecting rod, which is easy to disassemble and assemble. When the piston / connecting rod is damaged, it can be replaced separately, which can effectively reduce the cost of use.

[0039] Embodiment 2:

[0040] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Figure 2 , such as 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the piston 100 is a circular cylindrical structure with a large opening at one end and a small opening at the other end. The pin hole 101 penetrates the piston 100 from the side. The piston 100 is an aluminum part, so that the overall weight of the piston 100 is light. An annular groove 102 is provided on the outer side of the piston 100. The first piston ring 110 is sleeved in the groove 102. The first piston ring 110 is a prior art, such as the first piston ring 110 is a rubber ring or a metal ring. The first piston ring 110 is used to increase the sealing performance between the piston connecting rod structure and the inner wall of the compression chamber 620.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting rod 200 is an injection molded part, and a connecting rod hole 210 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 200 connected to the piston 100. A bearing 500 is sleeved in the connecting rod hole 210, and the bearing 500 is sleeved on the piston pin 400. The bearing 500 and the connecting rod hole 210 are fixedly connected by interference fit, and both ends of the piston pin 400 are fixedly connected to the pin hole 101 by interference fit; wherein, the bearing 500 includes a roller bearing.

[0042] Furthermore, the connecting rod 200 is a rod-shaped structure, and the end of the connecting rod 200 connected to the crankshaft 610 (i.e., the end away from the connecting rod hole 210) is the prior art. For example, an arc groove is provided at the end of the connecting rod 200 away from the connecting rod hole 210 for connecting to the crankshaft 610, and a retaining ring groove is also provided on the outer side of the arc groove. When the connecting rod hole 210 is connected to the crankshaft 610, the retaining ring is fixed in the retaining ring groove, and the retaining ring clamps the two connecting rods 200 on the crankshaft 610. The method of separately injecting the connecting rod 200 can effectively simplify the structure of the mold and reduce the cost of the mold, and the setting of the bearing 500 can effectively reduce the lateral force on the connecting rod 200.

[0043] Embodiment 3:

[0044] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 or 2 is that the one-way valve 300 includes:

[0045] A valve seat 310, wherein the valve seat 310 is in a cylindrical shape with openings at both ends, and the valve seat 310 is fixedly connected to an end of the piston 100 away from the connecting rod 200, and the valve seat 310 is in communication with the interior of the piston 100;

[0046] A valve disc 330 connected to the valve seat 310, the valve disc 330 is a vortex-shaped, elastic structure, a disc structure is provided at the center of the valve seat 310 to block the mouth of the valve seat 310, and the valve disc 330 is located at the end of the valve seat 310 away from the piston 100; in this embodiment, the valve disc 330 is fixed to the valve seat by riveting, thereby reducing the number of assembly parts such as bolts and simplifying the assembly process;

[0047] Furthermore, the valve seat 310 and the piston 100 are fixedly connected by an interference fit, and the valve seat 310 is fixedly connected to the small opening of the piston 100. The inside of the one-way valve 300 is a trumpet-shaped through hole, and the valve plate 330 is riveted to the end of the valve seat 310. When the gas flows to the compression chamber 620, the gas lifts up the disc structure. When the piston connecting rod structure compresses the gas in the compression chamber 620, the disc structure is tightly attached to the end of the valve seat 310. The valve plate 330 is a vortex-shaped, elastic sheet structure, which can be made of metal materials such as 65Mn and stainless steel.

[0048] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a second piston ring 320 is further provided between the one-way valve 300 and the end of the piston 100. The second piston ring 320 is clamped by the valve seat 310 and the piston 100 to increase the sealing performance of the piston connecting rod structure.

[0049] Specifically, the second piston ring 320 is a bowl-shaped rubber ring, and the second piston ring 320 is sleeved on the outer side of the valve seat 310, and the inner side of the second piston ring 320 is pressed against the end of the piston 100 by the valve seat 310;

[0050] Preferably, Figure 4 As shown, the portion of the valve seat 310 that presses the second piston ring 320 is also provided with an annular protrusion for improving the sealing performance between the valve seat 310 and the piston 100 .

[0051] Embodiment 4:

[0052] This embodiment provides an inflation component, which includes the split piston-connecting rod structure described in any one of Embodiments 1-3, and inflation is achieved through the reciprocating motion of the split piston-connecting rod structure.
