Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air pump mounting structures, and in particular to an air pump with a stable mounting structure. Background Art

[0002] Existing inflatable tent pumps on the market usually use a detachable screw connection structure to screw the air pump outlet to the tent air column inlet for inflation. The operation is simple and convenient, but when screwing, it needs to be tightened by rotation. If it is not tightened tightly, air leakage is likely to occur during inflation. If it is tightened too much, the screw interface is likely to fail after repeated use. At the same time, due to the limited space in the tent air column, it is more difficult for large hands to operate.

[0003] Currently, inflatable tents feature a built-in smart pump that heat-presses a portion of the tent's air column's inner wall against the pump's surface. Holes are provided on the pump's sidewalls and the corresponding outer surface of the tent's air column for plugging in and out the power cord and for user operation. However, this integrated design not only limits usage scenarios but also hinders repairs when the pump malfunctions, impacting user experience and urgently requiring improvement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The following is combined with Figure 1-8 This application is described in further detail.

[0039] An embodiment of the present application discloses an air pump with a stable installation structure.

[0040] Reference Figure 1An air pump with a stable mounting structure includes a base 1 disposed within an inflatable product, an air pump detachably disposed within the base 1, and a snap-fit ​​member 3 detachably secured to the base 1. The base 1 has an air vent 11 at one end that communicates with the interior of the inflatable product. The air pump 2 has a first end and a second end, with an air outlet 21 disposed on the first end and an air inlet 22 disposed on the second end. The air outlet 21 of the air pump 2 is connected to the air vent 11, and the first end of the air pump 2 and the end of the base 1 provided with the air vent 11 are detachably connected via a rotating snap-fit ​​structure, thereby achieving a position-limiting connection between the air pump 2 and the base 1. After the air pump 2 is mounted on the base 1, the user snaps the snap-fit ​​member 3 onto the base 1, and the snap-fit ​​member 3 is secured between the second end of the air pump 2 and the base 1, thereby further securing the air pump 2.

[0041] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The seat body 1 is cylindrical as a whole, and a housing cavity 13 for placing the air pump 2 is provided inside the seat body 1, and the housing cavity 13 is connected to the air vent 11. An opening 12 is provided on the seat body 1 in the middle position along its own axial direction, so that the air pump 2 can be placed in the housing cavity 13 through the opening 12. Taking into account that the air pump 2 will generate a lot of heat when working, a plurality of support ribs 14 are equidistantly provided on the inner wall of the housing cavity 13 of the seat body 1 along its own length direction. On the one hand, the support ribs 14 can provide support for the air pump 2 to ensure that the air pump 2 is not easy to shake when working; on the other hand, the support ribs 14 can keep space between the air pump 2 and the inner wall of the seat body 1, which is conducive to heat dissipation.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The air pump 2 is cylindrical in shape, and the air inlet 22 and the air outlet 21 of the air pump are both located on the axis of the air pump 2. A nozzle connector 23 is installed on the end face of the air pump 2 near the air outlet 21. The nozzle connector 23 passes through the air outlet 21 and is connected to the vent 11. At the same time, the nozzle connector 23 can also adapt to various types of nozzles. When the air pump 2 is used externally, the air pump 2 can be connected to the nozzles of other inflatable objects through the nozzle connector 23 for inflation, thereby expanding the scope of use. Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the air nozzle connector 23 is annular and has a mounting groove 231 formed therein. The mounting groove 231 extends along the circumference of the air nozzle connector 23. A circular air nozzle connection portion 15 extends from the base body 1, and the air nozzle connection portion 15 and the mounting groove 231 are slidably engaged. Preferably, the air nozzle connection portion 15 is provided with an external thread on its outer side, and the mounting groove 231 is provided with an internal thread that mates with the external thread, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the air nozzle connection portion 15 and the air nozzle connector 23.

[0043] Preferably, the base body 1 is further provided with notches 16 on opposite sides along the length direction, and the notches 16 are connected to the opening 12. A raised gripping portion 24 is provided on the outside of the air pump 2, corresponding to the two notches 16. In this embodiment, the dimension of the gripping portion 24 along the length direction of the base body 1 is smaller than the dimension of the notches 16 along the length direction of the base body 1, so that the gripping portion 24 can slide appropriately within the notches 16. When installing the air pump 2 on the base body 1, the user grips the gripping portion 24 of the air pump 2, slides the air pump 2 toward the vent 11 within the range of the notches 16 on the base body 1, and rotates the buckle.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The rotating snap-fit ​​structure includes a positioning column 18 provided on the base body 1, and a rotating guide groove 25 provided on the air pump 2. The positioning column 18 is cylindrical in shape as a whole, and the length direction of the positioning column 18 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the base body 1. There are two positioning columns 18, and the two positioning columns 18 are respectively connected to the inner circumferential walls opposite to each other of the first air nozzle connection part 15. There are two rotating guide grooves 25, and the rotating guide groove 25 is L-shaped as a whole. The two rotating guide grooves 25 are relatively provided on the inner circumferential wall of the air nozzle joint 23 near the air outlet 21. When the air pump 2 needs to be installed on the base body 1, first align the slot of the rotating guide groove 25 with the positioning column 18, and then move the air pump 2 so that the positioning column 18 can be rotated and snap-fitted with the rotating guide groove 25, thereby realizing the connection and fixation of the air pump 2 and the base body 1.

[0045] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The fastener 3 includes a fixing portion 31 and a supporting portion 34. The fixing portion 31 is used to fix the second end portion of the air pump 2 in the base body 1 when the fastener 3 is engaged; the supporting portion 34 is provided between the second end portion of the air pump 2 and the end of the base body 1 away from the air vent 11, and is used to limit the movement of the air pump 2 in the base body along its own axis. The fixing portion 31 is in the shape of a semicircular plate, and a cylindrical shape is formed after the fixing portion and the base body are engaged. The fixing portion 31 is integrally formed with a pressing portion 33 on both opposite end sides of the base body 1 along the axis direction of the base body 1. The pressing portion 33 has a certain degree of elasticity, and a locking protrusion 331 is provided at the free end of the pressing portion 33, and the locking protrusion 331 is provided on the outer wall of the pressing portion 33. A slot 17 is provided on the base body 1 corresponding to the free end of the pressing portion 33 provided with the locking protrusion 331, and the slot 17 and the locking protrusion 331 are elastically engaged. The locking protrusion 331 in this embodiment can be configured as a strip-shaped protrusion parallel to the end of the pressing portion 33 , and the locking groove 17 can be configured as a groove adapted to the strip-shaped protrusion.

[0046] When the fastener 3 needs to be installed on the base 1, the user applies force to the free end of the pressing portion 33 so that the pressing portion 33 is squeezed and deformed, forcing the locking protrusion 331 to enter the accommodating cavity 13, and then continues to push the fastener 3 until the locking protrusion 331 of the pressing portion is engaged with the locking groove 17 inside the base 1. At this time, the pressing portion releases the pressure and recovers the deformation, so that the fastener 3 can be tightly engaged with the base 1; when the fastener 3 needs to be removed, the user squeezes the free end of the pressing portion 33 so that the elastic locking protrusion 331 is pressed and disengaged from the locking groove 17, and the fastener 3 can be removed. The overall structure of the fastener 3 is relatively simple and easy for the user to operate, making it easy and convenient to install and remove the card pump.

[0047] Preferably, considering that the air pump 2 installed in the base 1 will generate some vibration during operation, in order to further stabilize the connection between the fastener 3 and the base 1, a limiting portion 32 is provided at intervals on the side of the pressing portion 33 near the air vent 11. The cross-sectional perimeter of the fixing portion 31 connecting to the limiting portion 32 is shorter than the cross-sectional perimeter of the fixing portion 31 connecting to the pressing portion 33. When the air pump 2 is installed in the base 1 and the fastener 3 is clamped to the base 1, the fixing portion 31 is covered on the outer peripheral wall of the air pump 2 on the side facing the opening 12, and the end face of the limiting portion 32 away from the fixing portion 31 can abut against the side end face of the base 1 provided with the card slot 17, making the structure more solid and stable. In addition, the limiting portion 32 can also limit the air pump 2 and prevent it from detaching from the base 1.

[0048] The support portion 34 is provided between the second end portion of the air pump 2 and the end of the base body 1 away from the vent 11, and may have a certain thickness. The thickness of the support portion 34 needs to be set in consideration of the space reserved within the base body 1 to increase the operating space of the air pump 2 during installation. It includes a first seat panel 341, a second seat panel 342, and a reinforcing rib 343 that are fixedly connected. The first seat panel 341 and the second seat panel 342 are both fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed portion 31, and the first seat panel 341 and the second seat panel 342 are both parallel to the cross-section of the base body 1. The first seat panel 341 is provided at the end of the fixed portion 31 close to the vent 11, and abuts against the end portion of the air inlet 22 of the air pump 2; the second seat panel 342 is provided at the end of the fixed portion 31 away from the vent 11, and abuts against the end face of the base body 1 away from the vent 11 or leaves some space. Furthermore, gaps 35 are provided on opposite sides of the second seat panel 342 near the pressing portion 33 and between the pressing portion 33, and the free end of the pressing portion 33 is movable within the gaps 35, thereby facilitating the user's operation of pressing the pressing portion. The first seat panel 341 and the second seat panel 342 are connected by reinforcing ribs 343. The reinforcing ribs 343 are used to provide support while also allowing the first seat panel 341 and the second seat panel 342 to have some elasticity in the relative direction, thereby facilitating the installation of the air pump 2.

[0049] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 Preferably, the end surface of the air pump 2 having the air inlet 22 is provided with a plurality of raised portions 26 on a side close to the first seat panel 341. In this embodiment, four raised portions 26 are provided, and the four raised portions 26 are equidistantly spaced along the circumference of the air inlet 22. The provision of the raised portions 26 ensures a certain air intake space between the air pump 2 and the fastener 3, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the air pump 2.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the first seat panel 341 and the second seat panel 342 are both configured as flat panels with reduced thickness to ensure that the first seat panel 341 abuts against the end portion of the air inlet 22 of the air pump 2 so that it is firmly installed in the seat body 1, while reducing the accuracy when installing the fastener 3 and improving the user's operating experience.

[0051] Reference Figure 7 On this basis, in order to prevent the fastener 3 from being lost during use, a connecting rope 4 is provided between the fixing portion 31 and the end of the base body 1 away from the vent 11. The provision of the connecting rope 4 can ensure to the greatest extent that the fastener 3 is not easily lost even when it is removed.

[0052] The implementation principle of the air pump with a stable installation structure in the embodiment of the present application is: the air pump 2 is connected and installed to the base body 1 fixed in the inflatable product by rotating the snap structure; and then the air pump 2 is further fixed to the base body 1 through the snap member 3 in conjunction with the snap connection structure. The double structure fixation makes the installation of the air pump 2 more secure, provides a stable structure for the operation of the air pump 2, and makes the air intake connection structure between the air pump 2 and the inflatable product more stable and not easily affected when the air pump 2 is in working state; in addition, when the air pump 2 is installed, the base body 1 also reserves space for the snap member 3, thereby increasing the space for operation when installing the air pump 2, and the detachable snap member 3 has a simple structure and is easy to operate, thereby making the installation / removal of the air pump 2 more convenient and quick, and can be applied to a wider range of scenarios and people.

[0053] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
