DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] For example, certain words are used in the specification and claims to refer to specific components. Those skilled in the art should understand that hardware manufacturers may use different terms to refer to the same component. This specification and claims do not use differences in names as a way to distinguish components, but use differences in the functions of the components as the criteria for distinction. For example, "including" mentioned throughout the specification and claims is an open term, so it should be interpreted as "including but not limited to". "Approximately" means that within an acceptable error range, those skilled in the art can solve the technical problem within a certain error range and basically achieve the technical effect.

[0030] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "horizontal", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only used to facilitate the description of the present application and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operate in a specific direction. Therefore, they should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0031] In this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on specific circumstances.

[0032] The accompanying drawings are the best embodiment of the bicycle pedal-type air pump. The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] In this embodiment, Figures 1 to 3As shown, a bicycle pedal-type air pump includes a pump body 1, a partition 11 is provided in the internal chamber of the pump body 1, and a through hole 12 is provided on the partition 11. The partition 11 divides the internal chamber of the pump body 1 into a piston chamber 101 and an air storage chamber 102. The piston chamber 101 and the air storage chamber 102 are connected through the through hole 12, and the piston 2 is slidably arranged inside the piston chamber 101.

[0034] An air inlet 103 is provided on the pump body 1 at the piston chamber 101. As the piston 2 moves downward, external air is drawn into the piston chamber 101 through the air inlet 103. As the piston 2 moves upward, the air inside the piston chamber 101 is injected into the air storage chamber 102 through the through hole 12. The air storage chamber 102 stabilizes the pressure and continuously outputs gas.

[0035] To prevent gas from being discharged again through the air inlet hole 103 during the upward movement of the piston 2, an air inlet check valve is provided on the air inlet hole 103. In this embodiment, to increase the area of the air inlet hole 103, the air inlet hole 103 is arranged in a rectangular shape. Therefore, the air inlet check valve adopts a second blocking plate 19, which has a larger area than the air inlet hole 103.

[0036] The second blocking plate 19 is arranged inside the piston chamber 102. At least one guide rod 20 is vertically fixed on the second blocking plate 19. The guide rod 20 passes through the pump body 1. A spring seat 21 is fixed to the end of the guide rod 20. A third spring 22 is sleeved on the guide rod 20 located outside the pump body 1. Under the thrust of the third spring 22, the second blocking plate 19 abuts against the inner wall of the piston chamber 101, blocking the air inlet 103.

[0037] In order to prevent the second plate 19 from being loosely closed in the early stage of the piston 2's upward movement, rubber sheets 23 are provided below or on the left and right sides of the second plate 19, with the other ends of the rubber sheets 23 in contact with the inner wall of the piston cavity 101. In this way, even if the second plate 19 is loosely closed in the early stage of the piston 2's upward movement, the airflow generated by the upward movement of the piston 2 will push the second plate 19 to close tightly, preventing the discharge of air.

[0038] A first spring 6 is sleeved on the connecting rod 3 located inside the piston cavity 101. When the air pump is not installed on the bicycle, the first spring 6 pushes the piston 2 to move to the top dead center, shortening the length of the entire air pump and facilitating the storage of the air pump.

[0039] A rotating bracket 10 is fixed at the bottom of the pump body 1. The rotating bracket 10 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 8 to play a limiting role. The two are rotatably connected.

[0040] The air storage chamber 102 is provided with a first blocking plate 13, on which are coaxially fixed sliding rods 14 arranged perpendicularly to each other. The sliding rods 14 are inserted into the coaxially arranged sleeves 16. The sleeves 16 play a guiding role and are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air storage chamber 102.

[0041] The first blocking plate 13 is coaxially arranged with the through hole 12 , and a second spring 15 is sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 14 . Under the push of the second spring 15 , the first blocking plate 13 blocks the through hole 12 .

[0042] An exhaust hole is provided on the pump body 1 and is in communication with the air storage chamber 102 . A one-way valve 24 is provided outside the exhaust hole.

[0043] A support plate 17 is fixed to the end face of the pump body 1 facing the bicycle's rear frame. A connector 18 is rotatably connected to the support plate 17. Connector 18 engages the bicycle's rear frame. Its rotatable connection to the support plate 17 facilitates adjustment of the pump's installation position. A locking bolt is provided at the pivot point between connector 18 and support plate 17. Once the pump is positioned, tighten the locking bolt to prevent subsequent displacement.

[0044] The clamp 18 adopts the existing technology and can be a clamp that is sealed by fastening with bolts.

[0045] The above describes the implementation methods of the present application in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above implementation methods. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application.
