  • Patent number: 12687174
    Abstract: An inflatable pump has a housing and a core disposed in the housing. The housing has a core chamber, an inlet at an end of the core chamber, a fan chamber with a volute chamber at the other end of the core chamber, and an outlet fluidly communicating with the fan chamber. The core is disposed in the core chamber and a fan wheel of an electric motor thereof is disposed in the fan chamber. When the electric motor is turned on, the fan wheel is driven to spin to direct air entering the housing from the inlet. Heat around the core is carried by the air passing the core and is directed into the volute chamber of the fan chamber, and is rapidly cast out from the housing via the outlet by a vortical flow generated by the rotation of the fan wheel in the volute chamber.

  • Patent number: 11454223
    Abstract: A direct drive air pump has a motor and a pumping mechanism connected to an end of the motor, and further has an auxiliary pumping mechanism connected to the other end of the motor, and a tube connected with the pumping mechanism and the auxiliary pumping mechanism. In each one of the pumping mechanism and the auxiliary pumping mechanism, a cylindrical body has a top plate having an exhaust hole. A single O-ring is used to seal between the cylindrical body and a cylindrical cover for reducing the sealing portions. A valve block of a non-return valve can co-work with a spring for opening and closing the exhaust hole. The valve block is soft for closing the exhaust hole well and reducing the noise of collision between the valve block and the top plate.
