Description

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to an air pump, and more particularly to a fast electric inflating air pump.

BACKGROUND

The inflating air pump works by an electric motor. The working principle is that the motor pimps air into objects that need to be inflated, such as tires, boat cushions, etc., which can realize the effect of inflation automatically.

Generally, the inflating pump uses a single inflating method, that is, it is driven by a motor to inflate the object to be inflated. As the pressure of the object to be inflated changes before and during the inflation process, as it is inflated, its pressure becomes greater and greater. The single inflation method leads to the defects of low inflation efficiency and long inflation time. In addition, due to the poor airtightness during the inflation process, air leakage occurs, which makes the working efficiency of the inflator pump even lower.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide a fast electric inflating air pump for solving the issues.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail in conjunction with the drawings. It should be noted that the figures are illustrative rather than limiting. The figures are not drawn to scale, do not illustrate every aspect of the described embodiments, and do not limit the scope of the present disclosure.

It should be noted that when a component is considered to be “connected” to another component, it can be directly connected to another component or a central component can be present between two components at the same time. When a component is considered to be “provided” another component, it may be arranged directly on another component or possibly with a centered component.

Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning, which is used in the description of the present disclosure to describe specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the disclosure. The term “or/and” used here includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

Referring to FIGS. 1-8, a fast inflating air pump according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The fast inflating air pump comprises a housing 100 having an upper shell 1012 and a lower shell 1011, a controller 800, a blower 501, a motor 400, an inlet tube 203 and an inflating tube are arranged in the housing 100. The inflating tube includes an inflating port 102 which is exposed on the outside of the housing 100 to communicate with external air. A piston is at least partially received in the inflation tube. The piston includes a head end 700, a tail end 702 and a piston rod 701 between the head end 700 and the tail end 702. The motor 400 drives the piston to linearly slide back and forth in the inflating tube via a transmission assembly for increasing air pressure in the inflating tube. During the reciprocating motion cycle, the piston continuously outputs air to the inflating port 102 of the inflating tube, so that the inflating pump outputs air under high pressure.

A communicating pipe 300 is arranged between the inflating tube and the inlet tube 203, and a one-way valve 500 is arranged in the communicating pipe 300. The one-way valve 500 unidirectionally circulates air from the communicating pipe 300 to the inflating pipe. Thus, the blower 501 in the inlet tube 203 drives the air to be discharged through the inflating port 102 of the inflating tube.

During the fast inflating air pump is inflating, the controller 800 instructs the blower 501 to work until an air pressure value reaches a predetermined threshold, and the controller 800 instructs the blower 501 to stop working. At this moment, the controller 800 instructs the motor 400 to drive the piston to move back and forth in the inflating tube to achieve inflation, until the air pressure value increases to another predetermined threshold, then the controller 800 instructs the motor 400 to stop operating.

In order to improve the inflation efficiency, the controller 800 first instructs the blower 501 to rotate to inflate a target object, such as a tire, until an internal air pressure of the inflating air pump reaches a predetermined threshold, and then instructs the blower 501 to stop working. At this moment, the motor 400 is immediately started to drive the piston to slide back and forth to inflate into the inflating tube to achieve inflation under a relatively high pressure state until the air pressure of the inflating pump reaches another predetermined threshold. During this process, the internal air pressure of the inflating air pump is increased from a low air pressure to a relatively high air pressure to achieve the effect of rapid inflation.

In the embodiment, the upper shell 1011 and the lower shell 1012 enclose a housing 100 with a cavity. The housing 100 may also be enclosed by other components, and is not limited to the enclosed manner of the upper shell 1011 and the lower shell 1012 in the present disclosure.

The inlet tube 203 includes an inlet port 101 which is exposed on the outside of the housing 100 for communicating with external air, and another port is communicated with the inflating tube via the communicating pipe 300.

The inflating tube includes a small-diameter section 201 and a large-diameter section 202 extending from the small-diameter section 201, the inflation port 102 is formed in the small-diameter section 201. The terms “large diameter” and “small diameter” here are relative sizes and do not have the concept of actual size. A diameter of the large-diameter section 202 is larger than that of the small-diameter section 201. The piston is movably placed in the large-diameter section 202, and on condition that the controller 800 instructs the motor 400 to drive the piston to move, the piston linearly moves back and forth in the large-diameter section 202.

In the embodiment, the head end 700 of the piston is received in the large-diameter section 202 of the inflating tube. The head end 700 of the piston is in shape of a disc that matches an inner wall of the large-diameter section 202 of the inflating tube, and a plurality of holes 704 are provided in the central area of the disc of the head end 700. A damper 710 is mounted on the disc-shaped head end 700 of the piston. A valve plate 601 is located above the head end 700 in the large diameter portion. The valve plate 601 includes a rigid sheet 602 with a plurality of holes provided in the inflation tube, and a rubber sheet 603 which is attached to the rigid sheet 602 to block the holes so that air can only flow from the head end 700 through the hole into the inflation port 102. The valve plate 601 acts as a one-way valve.

In the embodiment, the head end 700 further has an upper flange 705 on the periphery of the disc, an upper flange 706 on the periphery of the disc and a ring groove 707 between the upper flange 705 and the lower flange 706 for receiving the damper 710. The damper 710 has a central part 711, two bridges 712 extending from the central part 711 along a direction far away each other and an annular wall located on the outer peripheral side of the two bridges 712 and connected to the two bridges 712. The annular wall has an inner wall 713 extending from the two bridges 712, an outer wall 714 extending from the inner wall 713 for sliding contact with the inflating tube, and a groove 715 provided between the inner wall 713 and the outer wall 714. The central part 711 of the damper 710 blocks a plurality of holes 704 of the head end 700 so that air can only flow into the inflating tube. In order to avoid air leakage, two notches 708 are provided on the upper flange 705 for matching the two bridges 712. The two bridges 712 are respectively arranged in the two notches 708 to improve the firmness of the damper 710. An air chamber is formed by the valve plate 601, an head end 700 with the damper 710 and a part of the large-diameter section 202 of the inflating tube. When the piston slides back and forth in the large-diameter section 202, the head end 700 slides along a direction gradually approaching the valve plate 601, and the air in the air chamber can only flow into the small-diameter section 201 through the holes of the valve plate 601. When the head end 700 slides along a direction gradually away from the valve plate 601, the holes of the valve plate 601 is blocked by the rubber sheet 603, and air enters the air chamber through the holes of the head end 700 for balancing air pressure. The rotation speed of the motor 400 may reach 10,000 revolutions per minute. Driven by the high frequency of the motor 400, the piston quickly presses the air in the air chamber into the inflating tube for obtaining high air pressure. This enhances the inflation efficiency of the inflating air pump and can meet higher pressure inflation requirements with the assistance of the blower.

The head end 700 of the piston is received in the large-diameter section 202, and the piston rod 701 is at least partially exposed outside the he large-diameter section 202. The tail end 702 has a ring 402 and a hole provided in the central area of the ring 402. The motor drives the piston by a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly includes a gear plate 410 driven by the motor 400, an eccentric wheel 403, a rotating shaft 411 located in the center of the gear plate 410 and connected to the eccentric wheel 403, and a transmission rod 405 located on the eccentric wheel. The transmission rod 405 is sleeved in the ring 402 of the tail end of the piston. The motor drives the gear plate 410 to rotate, and the gear plate 410 drives the piston to linearly slide back and forth in the inflating tube via the eccentric wheel 403.

In the present disclosure, the transmission rod 405 is sleeved in the ring 402 of the tail end of the piston. An outer diameter of the transmission rod 405 is smaller than an inner diameter of the ring 402 so that the transmission rod 405 has a rotation area so as to reduce the influence on the displacement of the piston's movement path. The transmission rod 405 pushes and pulls the piston to make linear sliding.

A frame 401 is arranged in the housing 100 for supporting the transmission assembly. The gear plate 410 is supported by the frame.

The gear plate 410 has an external teeth provided on the outer periphery of the gear plate 410. The motor 400 has a shaft with a transmission gear, the gear plate 410 meshes with the transmission gear of the motor 400.

The communicating pipe 300 includes a first pipe section connected with the inflating tube and a second pipe section connected with the inlet tube 203, and the first pipe section is connected to the second pipe section. In this way, it is convenient to assemble, and facilitate subsequent maintenance, etc. The one-way valve 500 may be arranged in the first pipe section or the second pipe section, depending on actual needs.

the tail end of the piston has a hole provided in the central area of the tail end, and the transmission rod is at least partially sleeved in the hole.

During the air pump is working, a coil of the air pump will generate a reverse voltage, and the reverse voltage may damage the power supply 31. A power protection unit 34 is arranged between the power supply 31 and the air pump to protect the power supply 31. The power supply protection unit 34 is directly connected between the power supply 31 and the air pump.

The inflation speed controlling unit 35 controls the inflation speed of the air pump by controlling the time for the current to flow through the air pump. Therefore, the inflation speed controlling unit 35 is provided at a position capable of turning on or off the current path of the air pump. For example, the inflation speed controlling unit 35 is arranged between the ground terminals and the ground terminals of the selecting switches 331 and 332, or arranged between the power supply unit 31 and the input terminals of the selecting switches 331 and 332, or arranged between the air pump and the two selecting switches 331 and 332.

That is, the second resistor R2 and the switch K1 are connected in series and connected in parallel with the voltage stabilizing module. The second resistor R2 is a short-circuit resistor. When the voltage of the power supply is greater than the voltage required by the air pump, the switch K1 is turned off, and the voltage from the power supply is reduced by the voltage regulator module to provide voltage for the air pump and other electronic components that need to be powered. When the voltage of the power supply 31 is equal to the voltage required by the air pump, the switch K1 is turned on, and the voltage from the power supply can directly provide voltage to the air pump and other electronic components that need to be powered via the second resistor R2. This means of directly supplying power by the second resistor R2 can reduce the loss of electric energy by the voltage stabilizing module, thereby improving the efficiency of the power supply.
