Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inflating devices, in particular to a yoga ball inflating and deflating device. Background Art

[0002] A yoga ball inflating and deflating device is a device specifically used for inflating and deflating yoga balls. It mainly consists of an air pump, a pressure controller, a valve, a pipeline, a sensor, etc. During the working process, the air pump inhales and compresses air, which is transported to the yoga ball through the pipeline, thus realizing the inflation of the yoga ball. At the same time, the pressure sensor monitors the air pressure in the yoga ball in real time. When the preset value is reached, the air pump automatically stops working to ensure that the yoga ball is inflated appropriately. When deflating is required, the airflow is controlled by adjusting the valve to discharge air from the yoga ball, making it deflate gradually.

[0003] In the processing and production process of yoga balls, the last step is to inflate the yoga balls. Usually, the staff places the yoga balls on the inflating and deflating device and inflates the yoga balls through the air needles on the inflating and deflating device. However, the start and stop of the existing yoga ball inflating and deflating devices all need to be manually controlled by the staff. During the production and inflation process of yoga balls, a staff member usually needs to be responsible for multiple yoga ball inflating and deflating devices, which leads to the staff being overly busy. Once there is negligence and it fails to be timely discovered whether the yoga ball is inflated, it may cause the yoga ball to be over-inflated, resulting in the sphere bearing excessive pressure, accelerating the wear or damage of the sphere, and even possibly bursting during use, resulting in accidents. Moreover, insufficient inflation of the yoga ball will also affect the product quality and service life.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a yoga ball inflating and deflating device to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] The present utility model provides a yoga ball inflation and deflation device as Figures 1 - 4 shown in the figure, which includes an inflation rack 1. The inflation rack 1 and the support ring 2 provide stable support for the yoga ball to ensure a smooth inflation process of the yoga ball. One end of the inflation rack 1 is provided with a vertical rod 5, and the other end of the inflation rack 1 is fixedly installed with a control box 4. The control box 4 includes a control switch for controlling the operation of the air pump. One side of the vertical rod 5 is provided with a mounting plate 6. The front surface of the mounting plate 6 is provided with a plurality of grooves 7, and the plurality of grooves 7 are equally spaced from top to bottom. Each groove 7 is fixedly installed with a microswitch 8, and the contact of each microswitch 8 is located outside the front surface of the mounting plate 6 for detecting the inflation state of the yoga ball to ensure that the yoga ball will not be over-inflated during the inflation process;

[0025] The middle part of the upper end of the inflation rack 1 is provided with a notch 12. An inflation needle 13 is vertically fixedly installed in the notch 12. The top of the inflation needle 13 is higher than the upper surface of the inflation rack 1. The lower end of the inflation needle 13 is connected to the air pump through a trachea.

[0026] Further, in the above technical solution, a control switch is provided at the upper end of the control box 4. The control box 4 is electrically connected to the air pump through a wire, and the plurality of microswitches 8 are electrically connected to the air pump through a wire.

[0027] Further, in the above technical solution, a magnetic strip 11 is fixedly installed at the top of one end of the inflating rack 1. A guiding strip 10 is fixedly installed at one end of the inflating rack 1 and above the magnetic strip 11. There is a spacing between the bottom of the guiding strip 10 and the upper surface of the magnetic strip 11. The settings of the magnetic strip 11 and the guiding strip 10 help to stabilize the microswitch 8 and prevent the yoga ball from inflating and expanding and then touching the vertical rod 5, causing the vertical rod 5 to drive the microswitch 8 to move.

[0028] Further, in the above technical solution, a through groove 9 is opened at the bottom of the vertical rod 5. The guiding strip 10 is connected to the through groove 9. The bottom of the vertical rod 5 is in contact with the magnetic strip 11. An iron sheet is fixedly installed at the bottom of the vertical rod 5. The iron sheet at the bottom of the vertical rod 5 is adsorbed by the magnetic strip 11, so as to fix the vertical rod 5 above one end of the inflating rack 1. The design of this structure also facilitates the position adjustment of the vertical rod 5 at the upper end of the inflating rack 1.

[0029] Further, in the above technical solution, at least one support ring 2 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the inflating rack 1. A number of rollers 3 evenly distributed are rotatably installed on the support ring 2, which helps to improve the stability of the yoga ball during the inflation process.

[0030] Further, in the above technical solution, the back surface of the mounting plate 6 is in a U-shaped structure. The back surface of the mounting plate 6 is clamped on the vertical rod 5, and one side of the mounting plate 6 is fixedly installed on the vertical rod 5 through bolts, so as to facilitate the disassembly and installation of the mounting plate 6 on the vertical rod 5.

[0031] When the yoga ball inflating and deflating device provided by the present utility model is in use, its working process is as follows:

[0032] Before inflating the yoga ball, according to the size of the yoga ball to be inflated, pull up the vertical rod 5 to separate the bottom of the vertical rod 5 from the magnetic strip 11 above one end of the inflating rack 1. Then move the vertical rod 5. Move the mounting plate 6 and the microswitch 8 to a suitable distance through the vertical rod 5. And this moving distance makes the microswitch 8 equal to the inflating size of the yoga ball. Then put down the vertical rod 5 and fix the vertical rod 5 on the inflating rack 1.

[0033] Place a yoga ball on the support ring 2 of an inflating rack 1, and connect the inflating port of the yoga ball to the air needle 13 in the middle of the inflating rack 1. Then press the start switch on the control box 4 to start the air pump. The air pump inflates the yoga ball through the air needle 13. Then the staff leaves this inflating rack 1, places another yoga ball on another inflating rack 1, and repeats the above operation. When the previous yoga ball is inflated to a certain extent, that is, when the yoga ball expands to a certain size, the outer wall of the yoga ball touches the microswitch 8 on one side of the vertical rod 5. When the microswitch 8 is touched and closed, the air pump of this inflating rack 1 will automatically stop working, so as to complete the inflation of this yoga ball and achieve the purpose of preventing the yoga ball from being over-inflated.

[0034] The above only describes certain exemplary embodiments of the present utility model by way of illustration. Without doubt, for those of ordinary skill in the art, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present utility model.
