Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inflation device technology, and in particular to an automobile inflation pump structure suitable for automated production. Background Technology

[0002] A car air pump is a portable device used to inflate car tires, bicycle tires, etc., and mainly consists of a motor, cylinder, pressure gauge, and inflation hose. Its working principle is that the motor drives the cylinder piston to reciprocate, compressing air and injecting it into the tire. Car air pumps are highly portable and easy to operate, quickly inflating tires when they are low on pressure, preventing increased fuel consumption, tire wear, or driving safety hazards caused by abnormal tire pressure. Some high-end products also have functions such as preset tire pressure, automatic shutdown, and lighting, adapting to various scenarios. When using it, pay attention to the stability of the power connection and the sealing of the inflation interface, and check the device's performance regularly. When choosing one, pay attention to parameters such as power, inflation speed, and applicable tire types, prioritizing durable and low-noise products; it is one of the essential emergency tools for cars.

[0003] Regarding the above-mentioned and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist:

[0004] Currently, products must be fully assembled before quality inspection can be carried out. If a product fails to meet the standards, the assembled parts must be disassembled and reworked, resulting in low product inspection efficiency. The disassembly process can also damage parts and increase costs.

[0005] Similar products are complex in structure, difficult to assemble, and have low production efficiency. The assembly difficulties lead to uncontrollable product quality and poor product consistency. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing technology has the disadvantages of low product inspection efficiency and low production efficiency. To this end, we propose an automotive air pump structure suitable for automated production.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: an automotive air pump, characterized in that it includes a control circuit board, an air pump core assembly, and a bracket, wherein the control circuit board and the air pump core assembly are electrically connected, the control circuit board and the air pump core assembly are integrated on the bracket, the control circuit board, the air pump core assembly, and the bracket constitute an integrated assembly, and the control circuit board and the air pump core assembly are controlled by an external power supply.

[0008] Preferably, the bracket has a first groove for mounting the control circuit board, and the bracket also has a second groove for mounting the air pump core assembly.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a housing, and the control circuit board, air pump core assembly and bracket are integrated into a single assembly and housed inside the housing.

[0010] Preferably, the external power source is a battery, and the battery, control circuit board, air pump core assembly and bracket form an integrated assembly, with the control circuit board and air pump core assembly both electrically connected to the battery.

[0011] Preferably, the bracket is also fixedly provided with a groove for battery installation.

[0012] Preferably, the battery, control circuit board, air pump core assembly and bracket are integrated into a single assembly and housed inside the housing.

[0013] Preferably, both the control circuit board and the air pump core assembly are detachably mounted on the bracket.

[0014] Preferably, the battery is mounted on the bracket by adhesive foam sheet.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] In this invention, when assembling the entire car air pump, the control circuit board, air pump core assembly, and battery are first integrated onto a bracket to form a unit. The unit is then inspected. If any defective parts are found, they can be directly disassembled for rework because the outer casing is not yet assembled, preventing damage to the casing, panel, and other vulnerable components, effectively reducing rework costs. After passing functional testing, the qualified unit, along with the casing and other components, is placed into an automated production line for subsequent automated assembly. After assembly, only simple quality and appearance checks are required to complete the product assembly, significantly improving the first-pass yield of the final assembly and reducing the difficulty of component assembly, thereby increasing production efficiency and product quality. This invention enables automated production of car air pumps, effectively improving production efficiency. Currently, the production efficiency of products on the market is 80 units / person / day; using the structure involved in this invention, the production efficiency of car air pumps is 240 units / person / day, an increase of 300% in per capita production efficiency. It also improves the first-pass yield and quality consistency of the products. Attached Figure Description

[0025] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-2 as well as Figures 5-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a car air pump structure suitable for automated production, including a bracket 1. The bracket 1 integrates a control circuit board 2, an air pump core assembly 3, and a battery 4. The control circuit board 2, the air pump core assembly 3, and the battery 4 are electrically connected. The bracket 1, control circuit board 2, air pump core assembly 3, and battery 4 are installed as a whole inside a housing 5. The housing 5 is also equipped with a charging port, LED light, jumper connector, power display module, and control button that are electrically connected to the control circuit board 2. At the same time, the housing 5 is also equipped with an air pipe connector for connecting to the air supply end of the air pump core assembly 3.

[0027] The bracket 1 can be made of common materials such as rubber, plastic, and metal. Soft rubber or plastic is preferred. It is made in one piece by molding, which not only has high production efficiency and low cost, but also makes the overall material lightweight and easy for users to carry and use. The control circuit board 2, the air pump core assembly 3, and the battery 4 are installed on both sides of the bracket 1 by means of screws or buckles. The control circuit board 2, the air pump core assembly 3, and the battery 4 can be randomly placed on one side of the bracket 1 and the other side of the bracket 1.

[0028] Reference Figures 3-4 As shown, the bracket 1 has a groove 11 for mounting the control circuit board 2, a groove 12 for mounting the air pump core assembly 3, and a groove 13 for mounting the battery 4. The positions of the grooves 11, 12, and 13 on the bracket 1 can be flexibly adjusted according to the mounting positions of the control circuit board 2, the air pump core assembly 3, and the battery 4.

[0029] Furthermore, based on the installation relationship of the control circuit board 2, the air pump core assembly 3, and the battery 4, mounting components are preferentially set on the grooves 11, 12, and 13. For example, for screw installation, mounting holes are reserved in advance, and for snap-on installation, slots are reserved in advance.

[0030] It should be noted that the groove 313 of the battery 4 itself is unidirectional and its width is adapted to the battery 4. A foam sheet can be glued in the gap between the battery 4 and the groove 313. The elasticity of the foam sheet is used to hold the battery 4 in the groove 313, which facilitates the installation and removal of the battery 4.

[0031] Furthermore, the control circuit board 2, the air pump core assembly 3, and the battery 4 can also be installed by connecting them to the bracket 1 with glue.

[0032] It is important to emphasize that when installing the entire car air pump, the control circuit board 2, air pump core assembly 3, and battery 4 should be integrated onto the bracket 1 to form a complete assembly. This assembly should then be inspected. If any defective parts are found, they can be directly disassembled for repair because the outer casing 5 is not yet assembled, preventing damage to the casing, panel, or other vulnerable components and effectively reducing repair costs. After passing functional testing, the qualified assembly, along with the outer casing 5 and other components, is placed into an automated production line for subsequent automated product assembly. Once assembled, only simple quality and appearance checks are required to complete the product assembly.

[0033] Furthermore, the control circuit board 2, the air pump core assembly 3, and the battery 4 are integrated onto the bracket 1 to form a combination. After the combination is tested, it can be adapted to different appearances and models, thereby reducing the development costs of molds and production equipment, improving the efficiency of production line product conversion, and can also be sold independently, for example, directly adapted to large vehicle power banks and directly installed on the outside and inside of the power bank.

[0034] Furthermore, it should be added that the control circuit board 2 and the air pump core assembly 3 can be integrated onto the bracket 1 to form a combination, eliminating the need to install the battery 4. Power-on testing can be performed directly, and after passing the test, it can be sold directly, such as the aforementioned power bank as a direct power source.

[0035] It should be added that, based on the installation relationship between bracket 1 and outer casing 5, mounting holes can be pre-drilled in bracket 1, such as... Figures 5-6 As shown, the bracket 1 and the outer shell 5 are installed with screws. Threaded holes can be reserved on the bracket 1 to facilitate quick and automated installation.

[0036] Screw holes can also be directly provided on both sides of bracket 1 for flexible installation when the assembly is sold separately.

[0037] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
