An inflating pump includes an enclosure having an exterior shell and an enclosing wall located in the exterior shell and enclosing an airflow passage, and a discharge space formed between the exterior shell and the enclosing wall; an air blower connected to the enclosing wall; two air delivery pipes; and an airflow switching mechanism including a fixed seat having a plurality of chambers separately communicable with the airflow passage, the discharge space, the air blower and the two air delivery pipe, and a turnable member being turnable relative to the fixed seat for some of the chambers to communicate with one another to allow airflow pushed out from the air blower to flow through the airflow passage, the discharge space or the two air delivery pipes. Therefore, the inflating pump can inflate and deflate an inflatable air bed when the air blower constantly produces airflow in the same direction.

AN AIR LEAK PROOF REGULATING STRUCTURE OF A MECHANICAL PUMP

An air leakage prevention adjusting structure of a mechanical pump is provided. The adjusting structure may be applied to a multi-channel pump. The multi-channel pump may comprise a body, an air pump assembly and a channel switching structure which are arranged in the body, and a panel matched on the body. The adjusting structure may be matched on the panel and may comprise a channel selection knob, a turntable and a power switch. The channel selection knob may be rotatably arranged on the panel. The turntable may be arranged in the body. The upper end of the turntable may be connected with the channel selection knob, and the lower end of the turntable may be matched with the channel switching assembly. A convex edge and a notch may be arranged on the turntable.

A user only needs to operate the channel selection knob to control the two functions, so that the operation of the user is facilitated, and the condition of air leakage of the inflatable product caused by omission of the operation of the user is effectively avoided.

Air pump for an inflatable product and an inflatable product with a built-in air pump

An air pump is delineated for an inflatable product that can be selectively connected thereto. The inflatable product includes a shell located on a side wall. The shell includes an internal chamber for selective placement of the air pump and an air valve for selective communication with the air pump. When the air pump is located in the internal chamber it can be moved to switch between a first position and a second position. The air pump includes an air inlet and an air outlet such that the air inlet is in communication with the air valve in the first position to deflate the inflatable product and the air outlet is in communication with the air valve in the second position to inflate the inflatable product. The air pump can also be used externally via manual connection between the air inlet or the air outlet and other inflatable products.

Air pump capable of automatic air supplements

An air pump capable of automatic air supplements has a housing, a low-pressure blower, a high-pressure blower, a first auto-stop controller, and a second auto-stop controller. The low-pressure blower is used to inflate an inflatable article with low-pressure air and allows the air pump to stop working during inflation automatically.
