AI Technical Summary
Existing air pumps have difficulty in achieving convenient switching between high and low air pressure. In particular, the one-way valve made of rubber and silicone is prone to deformation and leakage under high air pressure, which makes it impossible for low-pressure air pumps to reach an air pressure of more than 40 PSI.
The system employs parallel high-pressure and low-pressure air ducts, combined with high-pressure and low-pressure fans. A one-way valve with an annular metal seal, a return spring, and a sealing ring is used to switch between low-pressure and high-pressure airflow, ensuring air pressure stability.
It achieves convenient high and low air pressure switching function, avoids the deformation and leakage problem of one-way valve under high air pressure, and ensures the stability of air pump and high and low air pressure switching effect.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inflator, specifically is an inflator with high and low air pressure switching function. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, there are many electric air pumps on the market that are specially used for inflating kayak paddle boards, and there are also many electric air pumps that are specially used for inflating tires. The main difference between them is that the air pressure of the air pump for inflating the paddle board can only reach about 20 PSI, while the air pressure of the air pump for inflating the tire can reach more than 40 PSI. The reason why the air pressure of the former can only reach about 20 PSI is that the one-way valve for switching between high and low pressure needs to effectively discharge low pressure gas, so it uses a one-way valve made of rubber silicone material. However, the one-way valve made of rubber silicone material cannot withstand higher air pressure, and once the pressure is too high, it will cause the one-way valve to deform and leak. It is difficult to switch between high and low air pressure with the same air pump. To solve the above problems, the utility model provides an inflator with high and low air pressure switching function. SUMMARY
[0003] In view of the above technical deficiencies, the utility model aims to provide an inflator with high and low air pressure switching function. When low pressure inflation is needed, only the low pressure fan is started to form a low pressure air flow in the low pressure air duct. The low pressure air flow flows into the high pressure air duct through the one-way valve, realizing the low pressure inflation function. When high pressure inflation is needed, only the high pressure fan is started to form a high pressure air flow in the high pressure air duct. At this time, due to the blocking of the one-way valve, the air flow can only flow out of the air outlet, realizing the function of high pressure inflation, and the high and low air pressure inflation switching function can be realized conveniently. The technical problems raised in the background art are solved.

When low pressure inflation is needed in actual use, only low pressure fan 4 is started to form low pressure air flow in low pressure air duct 2 (the low pressure air flow here is relative to the high pressure air flow in high pressure air duct 1, in fact, the low pressure air flow is also higher than atmospheric pressure), the low pressure air flow flows into high pressure air duct 1 from one-way valve 5, and then flows out from air outlet 11, realizing the low pressure inflation function. When high pressure inflation is needed, only high pressure fan 3 is started to form high pressure air flow in high pressure air duct 1, at this time, due to the blockage of one-way valve 5, the air flow can only flow out from air outlet 11, realizing the function of high pressure inflation, which can conveniently realize the switching function of high and low pressure inflation.
