[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] As Figures 1-8 shown, an air pump includes a motor 11, a housing 12, an eccentric wheel 111, a bracket 21, an upper cover 15, and a leather cup 20. The motor 11 is fixed at the lower end of the housing 12 and its drive shaft extends into the housing 12. The eccentric wheel 111 and the bracket 21 are connected by a swing rod 22 and disposed in the housing 12. The lower part of the eccentric wheel 111 is fixed to the drive shaft. A leather cup seat 13 is provided in the housing 12. A through hole is provided on the upper end surface of the leather cup seat 13. The leather cup 20 passes through the through hole and is sleeved on the upper end surface of the leather cup seat 13. The lower part of the leather cup 20 is sleeved on the bracket 21. A partition 14 and an upper cover 15 are sequentially fixed on the housing 12. The partition 14 has a first end and a second end. The first end of the partition 14 is cooperatively connected with the leather cup 20. The second end of the partition 14 is cooperatively connected with the upper cover 15. An installation hole 140 and a plurality of air inlet holes 142 are provided on the partition 14. The air inlet holes 142 are arranged circumferentially along the installation hole 140. A first seal 31 is installed in the installation hole 140. The first seal 31 includes a first gasket 311, a connecting rod 313, and a flange 314. The first gasket 311 is disposed at the end of the connecting rod 313. The flange 314 is disposed on the outer periphery of the connecting rod 313. The connecting rod 313 is inserted into the installation hole 140. The first gasket 311 is located at the first end of the partition 14 and is in sealing cooperation with the air inlet holes 142. A first protrusion 312 cooperating with the air inlet holes 142 is provided on the first gasket 311. An installation cavity 144 is provided at the second end of the partition 14. A plurality of exhaust holes 143 are provided in the installation cavity 144. A second gasket 32 is installed in the installation cavity 144. The exhaust holes 143 are in cooperation with the second gasket 32.

[0028] As Figures 5-6 shown, the flange 314 is a sphere with a diameter larger than the installation hole 140. The flange 314 is an elastic member, so that the flange 314 can be installed through the installation hole 140, and the flange 314 functions as a limit.

[0029] It should be noted that: the first protrusion 312 realizes the positioning and installation of the first gasket 311 by cooperating with the air inlet holes 142, and the sealing performance can be further improved through the cooperation between the first protrusion 312 and the air inlet holes 142.

[0030] In this application, the number of the leather cups 20 is four, and the four leather cups 20 are arranged in a 2X2 pattern on the leather cup seat 13. Additionally, the four leather cups 20 are integrally formed. Therefore, the number of the mounting holes 140 and the exhaust holes 143 is also four. Each mounting hole 140 penetrates through to the inner cavity 201 of the leather cup, and four air inlet holes 142 are provided around each mounting hole 140. Moreover, the number of the air inlet holes 142 can be any other number except four. By providing multiple air inlet holes 142, the air intake volume can be increased.

[0031] As Figure 2 shown, the leather cup 20 in this application is a bell-shaped airbag.

[0032] During specific use, the motor 11 starts to drive the eccentric wheel 111 to rotate. Then, the swing rod 22 drives the bracket 21 to swing, so that the bell-shaped airbag makes a reciprocating motion in the up and down direction, and the gas in the inner cavity 201 of the leather cup forms a positive and negative pressure cyclic change. When the leather cup 20 moves towards the side close to the motor 11, the inner cavity 201 of the leather cup 20 is in a negative pressure state. A pressure difference is generated between the air inlet hole 142 of the leather cup 20 and the external atmospheric pressure. Under the action of the pressure difference, the first gasket 311 is disengaged from the air inlet hole 142, opening the air inlet hole 142, and enabling the gas to be sucked into the leather cup 20 from the air inlet pipe. When the leather cup 20 moves towards the side away from the motor 11, the gas pressure increases. When the gas pressure increases to a certain value, the second gasket 32 is opened and discharged from the exhaust hole 143. When the motor 11 drives the eccentric wheel 111 to rotate one week, the four leather cups 20 can respectively achieve a reciprocating motion once, thus realizing four processes of air intake and exhaust, and the output flow rate is large.

[0033] As Figure 3 shown, the first end of the partition plate 14 has a fitting cavity 141 that fits with the first gasket 311, and the first gasket 311 is arranged in the fitting cavity 141.

[0034] As Figure 5 shown, the guide rod 145 is provided in the mounting cavity 144. The second gasket 32 has a connection hole 323 that fits with the guide rod 145. The second gasket 32 is provided with a second protrusion 321 that fits with the exhaust hole 143. The second protrusion 321 realizes the positioning and installation of the second gasket 32 by fitting with the exhaust hole 143, and the sealing performance can be further improved through the cooperation between the second protrusion 321 and the exhaust hole 143.

[0035] As Figure 6As shown, a cross-shaped seat 322 is integrally formed on the second gasket 32. The second gasket 32 is divided into four regions by the cross-shaped seat 322, and each region corresponds to each exhaust hole 143 respectively. Thus, when the exhaust hole 143 exhausts, only the gasket in the corresponding region can be blown up, which may cause the air in the inner cavity 201 of the leather cup that does not need to exhaust to leak.

[0036] Furthermore, bowl-shaped cavities 4 are provided on both the first convex portion 312 and the second convex portion 321, so that the force-bearing area can be increased, and the gasket can be more easily lifted when exhausting or admitting air.

[0037] As Figure 2 shown, the housing 12, the leather cup seat 13, the partition plate 14 and the upper cover 15 are fixedly connected by a clamp 16.

[0038] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0039] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
