Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of air pump technology, specifically to an air pump inflation mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] An air pump is an inflation tool that operates by a motor. It is widely used for inflating tires of cars, motorcycles, and bicycles, as well as items such as balls and rubber boats. The structure of an air pump generally includes a motor, transmission assembly, piston rod, one-way valve, and cylinder. Its principle is that the motor drives the transmission assembly, causing the piston rod to reciprocate within the cylinder, thus achieving the inflation function. Current air pumps typically use a connecting rod to drive the motor and piston rod. This structure has poor stability, and after long-term use, the components are prone to fatigue failure, resulting in a short service life. Summary of the Invention

A cam is fixed on the output shaft of the brushless motor, and the piston rod is eccentrically connected to the cam. The cylinder base has a piston chamber inside, and the piston head of the piston rod is sealed inside the piston chamber. One end of the piston chamber is connected to an air outlet. The brushless motor drives the cam to rotate, and the cam causes the piston rod to extend and retract within the piston chamber, discharging the generated gas through the air outlet.

The piston rod is mounted on the connecting portion, and a connecting shaft is fixed to the connecting portion. The end of the piston rod is fixed to the connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft causes the end of the piston rod to be eccentrically positioned relative to the cam. Therefore, when the cam rotates, it drives the piston rod to swing back and forth, thereby causing it to extend and retract within the piston chamber to generate gas.
[0009] In some embodiments, one end of the cylinder seat is connected to a cylinder head bracket, the air outlet is disposed on one side of the cylinder head bracket, the cylinder head bracket is provided with a flow cavity, the flow cavity connects the air outlet and the piston chamber, one side of the flow cavity is provided with a through hole, and a one-way valve is installed between the through hole and the flow cavity.

[0026] Combination Figures 1-5As shown, this application provides an inflation mechanism for an air pump, including a brushless motor 1, a cylinder seat 2, and a piston rod 3. A cam 4 is fixed on the output shaft of the brushless motor 1, and the piston rod 3 is eccentrically connected to the cam 4. When the brushless motor 1 drives the cam 4 to rotate through the output shaft, it can drive the end of the piston rod 3 to rotate along the outer edge of the cam 4. Therefore, the front end of the piston rod 3 will exhibit a swinging phenomenon. The cylinder seat 2 has a piston chamber 6 inside, and the piston head 7 of the piston rod 3 is sealed and placed in the piston chamber 6, thus forming a cylinder. One end of the piston chamber 6 is connected to an air outlet 8. The cam 4 causes the piston rod 3 to extend and retract within the piston chamber 6, and the generated gas is discharged from the air outlet 8. Specifically, the cam 4 is semi-circular, and a connecting part 5 extends from one side to form a connecting part 5. The piston rod 3 is mounted on the connecting part 5, and a connecting shaft 9 is fixed on the connecting part 5. The end of the piston rod 3 is fixed on the connecting shaft 9. Therefore, when the cam 4 rotates, it can pull the piston rod 3 to extend and retract as a whole through the connecting shaft 9.
[0027] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one end of the cylinder seat 2 is connected to the cylinder head bracket 10. The exhaust port 8 is located on one side of the cylinder head bracket 10. The cylinder head bracket 10 has a flow chamber 11, which connects the exhaust port 8 and the piston chamber 6. The gas generated in the piston chamber 6 is discharged through the flow chamber 11 to the exhaust port 8. A through hole 12 is provided on one side of the flow chamber 11. A one-way valve 13 is installed between the through hole 12 and the flow chamber 11. The through hole 12 serves to allow air to pass through. When the piston head 7 moves inward, the one-way valve... 13 is sealed, and gas is discharged from the vent 8. When the piston head 7 moves outward, the one-way valve 13 opens, and external air can enter the flow chamber 11 and the piston chamber 6 through the through hole 12. In this embodiment, a sealing ring 14 is fitted on the piston head 7, and the sealing ring 14 fits against the inner wall of the piston chamber 6. The cylinder head bracket 10 is provided with multiple positioning pins 15, which are fixed on the cylinder seat 2. A mounting seat 16 is provided on one side of the cylinder seat 2, and the brushless motor 1 is fixed on the mounting seat 16.

This makes the transmission structure more stable and less prone to damage, thereby improving the overall inflation efficiency of the air pump and extending its service life.
