As shown in FIGS. 1 to 17, the instant disclosure provides a swimming training apparatus that includes a drive mechanism driven with electricity and a pumping execution mechanism. The drive mechanism and the pumping execution mechanism are disposed separately and spaced apart. The drive mechanism and the pumping execution mechanism are connected by a connection pipeline or a transmission mechanism. The separation of the drive mechanism and the pumping execution mechanism ensures the separation of water and power in the swimming training apparatus and thus ensures the safety in use of the swimming training apparatus.

First Embodiment

FIG. 2 is an internal structure schematic diagram of the swimming training apparatus according to the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a shaft side view of the swimming training apparatus according to the first embodiment. The swimming training apparatus in this embodiment is a jet swimming device (i.e., JET swimming device). In this embodiment, the drive mechanism comprises a swimming pump 5 and a power distribution box 4. The pumping execution mechanism comprises a first pneumatic switch 14 controlling the turning-on and turning-off of the swimming pump, a filter mechanism with a filter pump 9 and a jet connector 11. The connection pipeline comprises a control pipeline 6, an outlet pipe 8 and an inlet pipe 7. The first pneumatic switch 14 is connected to the distribution box 4 by the control pipeline 6. The inlet end of the outlet pipe 8 is connected to the swimming pump 5, and the outlet end of the outlet pipe 8 is connected to the jet connector 11. The inlet of the inlet pipe 7 is connected to the filter mechanism, and the outlet of the inlet pipe 7 is connected to the swimming pump 5. In this embodiment, the swimming pump and the power distribution box form the drive mechanism, which is independent of the pumping execution mechanism and ensures safety. In addition, the filter mechanism has a filter pump, and the swimming pump can be evacuated by the filter pump and then ensure the rapid use of the swimming pump.

As a more particular embodiment of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the pumping execution mechanism is enclosed in a first housing 1. The swimming pump 5 and the power distribution box 4 are of one-piece construction and enclosed in a second housing 2. In this embodiment, the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are independent housings and are connected by a connection pipeline only, which ensures the separation of water and power and ensures the safety in use of the swimming training apparatus.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the filter mechanism further comprises the filter pump 9, a second pneumatic switch 14 controlling the turning-on and turning-off of the filter pump 9 and a filter core 10 included in the inlet pipeline of the filter pump 9. The outlet pipeline 15 of the filter pump 9 is connected to the inlet pipe 7. The second pneumatic switch 14 is connected to the power distribution box 4 by the control pipeline 6.

The process expels the air in the swimming pump 5, i.e., the swimming pump 5 is evacuated and the swimming pump 5 is brought into a normal operation state. When the filter pump 9 operates to a preset time, the filter pump 9 stops automatically, and the swimming pump 5 starts to operate by the first pneumatic switch 13, and at this moment, water flows into the swimming pump 5 by the inlet pipe 7 and ejects into the swimming pool from the jet connector 11 by the outlet pipe 8. The continuous water cycle makes the swimming pool form a flowing “river” and to facilitate swimming training. Wherein the water in the inlet pipe 7 is mainly directly drawn from the swimming pool and a small amount of water comes into the outlet pipeline 15 of the filter pump 9 by the inlet pipeline of the filter pump 9 and converges to the inlet pipe 7.

In this embodiment, the filter mechanism may filter the water in the swimming pool directly. When the second pneumatic switch 13 is pressed, the filter pump 9 started, the water flows from the swimming pool though the filter core 10, the filter pump 9, the outlet pipeline 15 of the filter pump 9, the inlet pipe 7, the swimming pump 5, and the outlet pipe 8 to the swimming pool, to achieve the filtering of the pool.
