Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air pump technology, and in particular to an air pump with pressure monitoring function. Background Technology
[0002] An air pump is a device specifically designed for inflating inflatable objects. Air pumps with pressure monitoring capabilities use advanced pressure sensors to monitor air pressure. They can accurately detect even minute pressure changes within the inflatable object and quickly convert these pressure signals into electrical signals. These electrical signals then undergo a series of complex amplification and processing steps, ultimately displaying a clear numerical value on the pressure gauge on the air pump, allowing the user to understand the current air pressure at any time. This pressure monitoring function brings great convenience and safety to the inflation process. During inflation, it effectively prevents over-inflation. Whether inflating car tires or small high-pressure gas storage containers for industrial or medical purposes (such as oxygen cylinders and carbon dioxide cylinders), it prevents serious hazards such as explosions caused by overpressure, thus ensuring the personal and property safety of the user.
[0003] However, while the digital pressure gauge displays the pressure value in real time during inflation, we cannot guarantee that users will keep their eyes glued to it. In real-world scenarios, users may be distracted for various reasons, such as being disturbed by their surroundings or handling other tasks. This means that if the air pump malfunctions during inflation, the user may not be able to detect the abnormality in time by observing the pressure readings, which is undoubtedly a hidden safety hazard. Worse still, if the user leaves the site during inflation, the air pump is completely unmonitored. In this situation, without a corresponding monitoring and warning mechanism, if the user momentarily forgets about the air pump, over-inflation is highly likely, potentially damaging the inflated object or even causing a more serious safety accident. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model relates to an air pump with pressure monitoring function, which solves the problem that existing air pumps cannot guarantee that users can detect abnormalities in a timely manner by observing the pressure value, thus posing a safety hazard.
[0005] This utility model provides an air pump with pressure monitoring function, specifically including: an air pump, wherein the air pump has a microcontroller electrically connected to it; a concave plate is fixedly installed on the top surface of the air pump relative to the digital pressure gauge of the air pump, and the concave end of the concave plate faces the digital pressure gauge of the air pump; in a top view, the concave plate is directly opposite the upper half of the adjacent edge of the digital pressure gauge of the air pump; a set of reset switches is fixedly installed at the center of the top surface of the concave plate, the reset switches are tactile switches, and the reset switches are electrically connected to the microcontroller.
[0006] Furthermore, a set of warning components, which are buzzers, are fixedly installed on the front end face of the air pump and are electrically connected to the microcontroller.
[0007] Furthermore, the air pump is equipped with a timing module, which is electrically connected to the microcontroller, and the timing value of the timing module is thirty seconds.
[0008] Furthermore, when the air pump is started, the microcontroller controls the timing module to start timing simultaneously; when the timing value of the timing module is reached, the timing module sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller, and the microcontroller controls the alarm component to start; when the reset switch is pressed, the reset switch sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller, the microcontroller controls the alarm component to turn off, and simultaneously controls the timing module to reset the timing.
[0009] Furthermore, the front end of the air pump is connected to a set of sensing components via wires. The sensing components are human infrared sensors and are electrically connected to the microcontroller. A metal flexible tube is sleeved around the wires connected to the sensing components. One end of the metal flexible tube is fixedly connected to the sensing components, and the other end is fixedly connected to the front end of the air pump. When the air pump is started, the microcontroller also controls the sensing components to start simultaneously. When the sensing components do not detect human infrared signals, the sensing components provide feedback signals to the microcontroller, and the microcontroller controls the alarm components to start.
[0010] This utility model provides an air pump with pressure monitoring function, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] This utility model, through the sensor feedback of the sensing component and the buzzer alarm of the warning component, can monitor and determine the user's position during inflation using an air pump. If the user leaves during inflation, the buzzer alarm of the warning component will be triggered immediately through the sensor feedback of the sensing component, thereby alerting the user and preventing them from leaving during inflation. Furthermore, the metal shaping hose connection of this application does not restrict the user's standing position, allowing the user to freely adjust the position of the sensing component through the metal shaping hose to meet the user's standing position requirements.
[0012] This utility model, through the timing feedback of the timing module and the installation position of the reset switch, facilitates operation reminders for the user during inflation. By pressing the reset switch, the user can observe the pressure value displayed on the digital pressure gauge of the air pump. During inflation, the user will observe the pressure value displayed on the digital pressure gauge of the air pump every 30 seconds, thereby maximizing the safety during inflation.

[0023] Example: Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 :
[0024] This invention proposes an air pump with pressure monitoring function, comprising: an air pump 1, wherein an air pump 1 has a microcontroller 107 electrically connected to it; a concave plate 104 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the air pump 1 relative to the digital pressure gauge of the air pump 1, and the concave end of the concave plate 104 faces the digital pressure gauge of the air pump 1; in a top view, the concave plate 104 is directly opposite the upper half of the adjacent edge of the digital pressure gauge of the air pump 1; a set of reset switches 105 are fixedly installed at the center of the top surface of the concave plate 104, the reset switches 105 are tactile switches, and the reset switches 105 are electrically connected to the microcontroller 107; a set of warning components 103 are fixedly installed on the front surface of the air pump 1, the warning components 103 are buzzers, and the warning components 103 are electrically connected to the microcontroller 107.
[0025] In this embodiment, the air pump 1 is also equipped with a timing module 106, which is electrically connected to the microcontroller 107. The timing value of the timing module 106 is thirty seconds. When the air pump 1 is started, the microcontroller 107 controls the timing module 106 to start timing simultaneously. When the timing value of the timing module 106 is reached, the timing module 106 sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller 107, and the microcontroller 107 controls the alarm component 103 to start. When the reset switch 105 is pressed, the reset switch 105 sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller 107, and the microcontroller 107 controls the alarm component 103 to close, and simultaneously controls the timing module 106 to reset the timing.
[0026] In this embodiment, a set of sensing components 102 are connected to the front end of the air pump 1 via wires. The sensing components 102 are human infrared sensors and are electrically connected to the microcontroller 107. A metal flexible tube 101 is sleeved around the wires connected to the sensing components 102. One end of the metal flexible tube 101 is fixedly connected to the sensing components 102, and the other end is fixedly connected to the front end of the air pump 1. When the air pump 1 is started, the microcontroller 107 also controls the sensing components 102 to start simultaneously. When the sensing components 102 do not detect human infrared signals, the sensing components 102 provide feedback signals to the microcontroller 107, and the microcontroller 107 controls the alarm component 103 to start.
[0027] The working principle of this embodiment:
[0028] When inflation is performed by the air pump 1, when the air pump 1 is powered on and started, the microcontroller 107 synchronously controls the timing module 106 and the sensing component 102 to start.
[0029] First, to avoid over-inflation, this application uses the sensing component 102 to monitor the user's human infrared signal in real time. When the user leaves during the inflation process, the sensing component 102 cannot detect the user's human infrared signal. In this case, the sensing component 102 sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller 107, which then controls the alarm component 103 to activate. The alarm component 103 uses a high-decibel buzzer to warn and remind the user, preventing them from leaving during the inflation process. Furthermore, since the sensing component 102 and the air pump 1 are fixedly connected by a metal shaping hose 101, when the air pump 1 is in use, the user can adjust the position of the sensing component 102 through the metal shaping hose 101 to meet the user's standing position requirements. This ensures that the sensing component 102 can detect the human infrared signal of the user standing nearby, without restricting the user's standing position.
[0030] During inflation, to ensure inflation safety, this application uses a 30-second timer module 106. When the timer reaches its set value, the timer module 106 sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller 107. The microcontroller 107 then activates the warning component 103, which alerts the user by emitting a buzzer. This prompts the user to press the reset switch 105 to deactivate the warning component 103. Since the reset switch 105 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the concave plate 104, and the concave plate 104, when viewed from above, is directly opposite the upper edge of the digital pressure gauge on the air pump 1, the user will be alerted when pressing the reset switch 105. When the reset switch 105 is activated, it will observe the pressure value displayed on the digital pressure gauge of the air pump 1, thus allowing the user to know the current pressure value and ensure safety during inflation. When the reset switch 105 is pressed, the reset switch 105 sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller 107. The microcontroller 107 controls the warning component 103 to turn off and also controls the timing module 106 to reset the timing. Therefore, it can provide intermittent reminders to the user, allowing the user to observe the pressure value displayed on the digital pressure gauge of the air pump 1 every 30 seconds during inflation, thereby maximizing the safety during inflation.
