Detailed Description

As described in the background art, the existing inflation equipment has single function, poor adaptability to different products, poor portability and use performance, and potential safety hazard caused by the fact that the air volume and the inflation time cannot be well controlled in the use process. In addition, the control method of the air pressure type is high in cost (the air pressure sensor is high in cost), and the air pressure type is not well suitable for small-sized inflatable products. Therefore, the utility model provides an air pump structure to solve the not enough of above-mentioned existence.

For a clearer illustration, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The embodiment of the utility model provides an inflation method of air pump, include: measuring a plurality of corresponding different current gears when the inflation air pressure reaches a plurality of different air pressure values; selecting the current gear adopted during each inflation as a selected gear; periodically calculating an average value of a plurality of charging currents during a first time while charging; comparing the average value to the selected gear; and adjusting the inflation state according to the comparison result.

Through the steps, the size of the preset air volume can be controlled in the inflating process of the air pump. The preset gas amount may correspond to a corresponding current gear.

The corresponding measurement steps are obtained by adopting a plurality of test processes specifically.

For example, the charging current thresholds of different charging objects can be acquired for multiple times, and multiple gears are set on the premise of ensuring the safety and stability of the charged objects, so that different air volumes can be charged into the charging objects. This process can be summarized as the above-mentioned measurement step.

In addition, after the determination step is completed, the corresponding different current gears can be uniformly utilized to be directly used for setting other air pumps under other conditions, and determination of each air pump is not required. That is, the step may be a step that is completed in an early stage, and once a desired result is obtained, it is only necessary to set corresponding different current levels for other air pumps in the later stage.

In this embodiment, the number of the current gears is more than 2. For example, the number of current gears may be 3, 4 or 5. In this example, 3 are exemplified.

Different current ranges mean that different gas values are charged to the respective gases. When used for the inflation of a garment, this specifically means that different amounts of gas (air) are charged into the garment. The clothes are filled with different amounts of air, the thicknesses of the clothes are different, and the warm-keeping effects of the clothes are correspondingly different, so that one clothes can realize various warm-keeping effects by filling different amounts of air.

In this embodiment, the duration of the first time may be in a range of 0.5 seconds, and the first time is a time for buffering the corresponding inflation currents.

In the embodiment, the magnitude of the inflation current can be detected in real time in the inflation process. The air pump can work with a plurality of different currents, wherein the inflation current is specially the corresponding current when the corresponding inflation assembly works, the current is directly related to the resistance encountered during inflation, and the resistance encountered during inflation is directly related to the inflation quantity (or the air pressure inside the inflated object). Therefore, by measuring the inflation current, the real-time gas pressure inside the corresponding inflated body can be correspondingly judged. Furthermore, the final internal gas pressure of the inflated object, or the final inflation amount of the inflated object, can be controlled through corresponding operation steps of comparison, judgment, control and the like.

In this embodiment, the specific number of the buffered charging current values may range from several tens to several hundreds, for example, may specifically range from 50 to 100.

In this embodiment, adjusting the inflation status includes starting the inflation and closing the inflation.

In this embodiment, periodically calculating the average value of the charging current in the first time may include: the mean is calculated using a truncated mean algorithm.

In this embodiment, periodically calculating the average value of the charging current in the first time may include: and preprocessing the collected inflation current to filter the extreme value of the current. Reasons for performing the pretreatment include: after the air pump is started, because the current value passing through the air pump has a peak phenomenon, if the pretreatment is not carried out, the accuracy of the actual inflation current can be influenced by the peak current values. Therefore, the present embodiment performs the corresponding preprocessing. Among them, a specific method that can be preprocessed may be a low-pass filtering method.

In this embodiment, different current gears are selected and different indication colors are displayed. For example, the current gear is divided into three gears, the first gear is 0.165 ampere, the second gear is 0.170 ampere, and the third gear is 0.175 ampere. Correspondingly, the indication color corresponding to the first gear is blue, the indication color corresponding to the second gear is green, and the indication color corresponding to the third gear is red. At this time, the indication color is associated with the shift position, specifically, each shift position can be adjusted through the key, and the corresponding color is correspondingly displayed.

In other embodiments, different indication colors may be displayed when the inflation pressure reaches different values.

A specific scenario corresponding to the method provided in this embodiment is shown in fig. 1, and it should be noted that the scenario is a step after the determination of a plurality of different current gears has been completed.

The method specifically comprises the following steps:

step S0, the method steps begin;

step S1, setting an inflation gear; the inflation gear is the selected gear (i.e. the current gear selected in the current inflation);

step S2, collecting air pump current; the air pump current is the inflation current, in particular to the current corresponding to the inflation assembly;

step S3, preprocessing data; that is, the current collected in step S2 is processed by low-pass filtering to eliminate the interference data (for example, it can be known by integrating the whole scene that the preprocessing step can filter the extreme data appearing when the air pump is just started, so as to avoid abnormal shutdown of the air pump caused by individual data);

step S4, caching data; that is, the current value after the preprocessing in step S3 is buffered; the purpose of caching is to collect enough numerical values so as to calculate the average value subsequently, thereby obtaining more accurate actual inflation current, namely the obtained average value of the inflation current of the air pump is close to the actual inflation current;

the size of the cached data is generally dozens or hundreds; the cached data is used for carrying out current magnitude analysis, namely calculation of an average value; the general average calculation formula is as follows:

n is set buffer data lengthDegree;

already close to the actual charging current;

however, in this scenario, a truncated average value may be further adopted, and the calculation formula is as follows:

in the formula, alpha represents a truncation coefficient,

m represents the removed data; x₍₁₎,X₍₂₎,X_(n)Representing an ascending sequence of data;

closer to the actual charging current;

step S5, judging the current; in the step, the average value of the data cached in the previous step is calculated; then comparing the calculation result (the actual mean value of the charging current at the moment) with the selected gear (namely the preset comparative value of the charging current), and judging the size of the calculation result and the gear (the essence of the judgment at the moment is to judge whether the charging state of the charged object reaches the corresponding fullness degree);

if the calculated result does not reach the selected gear (i.e. the corresponding average value is smaller than the selected gear), it means that the corresponding adjustment condition (denoted by "N" in fig. 1) cannot be triggered, so that the process may return to step S2 in step S5 to perform the next round of steps of collecting, preprocessing, and buffering (calculating), which may be summarized as the foregoing steps: while charging, calculating (periodically) an average of a plurality of charging currents over a first time;

on the contrary, if the calculation result reaches the selected gear (i.e. the corresponding average value is greater than or equal to the selected gear), it indicates that the corresponding adjustment condition has been triggered (indicated by "Y" in fig. 1), and therefore, the next step, i.e. the adjustment step of step S6, may be entered, specifically, the air pump is turned off in this scenario;

after the air pump is turned off, the process may further proceed to the final end step S7.

In combination with the above scenario, the present embodiment can determine whether to turn off the air pump by determining the magnitude of the current.

The air pump inflation method provided by the embodiment can enable the air pump to have good stability in the air pump inflation process, accurate control of the air pump inflation amount is achieved, meanwhile, the inflation control process is automatic and reasonable, the use performance of the air pump is more reliable and intelligent, and due to the fact that the current is directly used for control, the structure corresponding to the corresponding method can be used for devices with lower cost, and therefore the corresponding method is lower in cost.

It should be noted that the inflation assembly 140 and the circuit board 130 can be assembled together before being assembled with the adapter 150 to form an internal assembly, which is then assembled with other structures.

In this embodiment, the adapter 150 includes two collars (not labeled), and a snap-fit structure (not labeled) is provided between the upper cover 110 and the lower cover 120 to mate with the collars. Reference is made to the figures for more pertinent details regarding the upper and lower covers.

The adaptor 150 is used to connect the inflation outlet of the inflation assembly 140 to the inflation interface 200 of the subsequent object to be inflated. The inflation interface 200 may be a part of an object to be inflated, such as an inflation interface of a garment. As will be understood from fig. 11, 12 and 13, the air charging port 200 is inserted into the adaptor port 150 to realize the air-vent connection.

As can be seen in conjunction with fig. 5, 6, and 7, the circuit board 130 and the inflator assembly 140 are assembled between the upper cover 110 and the lower cover 120, and reference may be made to subsequent fig. 11 and 12 in conjunction.

The circuit board 130 under the light-transmitting strip 112 has a plurality of light groups 132, specifically 5 light groups in this embodiment.

Each light group 132 has a plurality of indicator lights (i.e., a light core or a light bead, which may be an LED light core, and is not shown in the figure) with different colors, and each light group in this embodiment specifically includes 3 indicator lights with different colors.

The different lamp groups 132 have the same structure, that is, in the present embodiment, the 5 lamp groups 132 may have the same structure.

In this embodiment, different current levels can be selected through the key 113, a selected potential is set through the key 113, and different indication colors are displayed by using different indicator lights. For example, the current gear is divided into three gears, the first gear is 0.165 ampere, the second gear is 0.170 ampere, and the third gear is 0.175 ampere. Correspondingly, the indication color corresponding to the first gear is blue, the indication color corresponding to the second gear is green, and the indication color corresponding to the third gear is red. At this time, the indication color is associated with the selected gear, and when the selected potential is set through the key 113, the key 113 can trigger the lamp set 132 to display the corresponding color.

Referring to fig. 8, 9 and 10, a circuit structure capable of implementing the above indication function is shown. Since there are 5 groups 132 of lights, each group having 3 lights of different colors, three different circuits may be employed, each circuit including 5 lights of the same color, which may be in a parallel configuration. Three different lamp groups may have similar identical circuit configurations. Corresponding indicator light circuits can be seen in fig. 8, 9 and 10, with 5 green lights connected in parallel as shown in fig. 8, 5 red lights connected in parallel as shown in fig. 9 and 5 blue lights connected in parallel as shown in fig. 10.
