Abstract

An air pump is disclosed, the lower end of a drive shaft is in active connection with an eccentric hole on an eccentric wheel, and vents are opened on a hole wall of the eccentric hole to use as a heat sink in such a way to expose the lower end of the drive shaft to the outside through the vents, thereby facilitating cooling. In addition, the lower end of the drive shaft is formed into a reduced diameter section corresponding to vents, the edges of which are positioned on the reduced diameter section so as to increase an avoidance clearance, avoiding the friction generated between burrs generated on the edge of the vent upon manufacturing and the drive shaft, thereby improving the product life.

Claims

1. An air pump, comprising:

an upper cover, a valve seat, an airbag seat, a base, airbags, a crank shaft, a drive shaft, an eccentric wheel and an electric motor,

wherein;

a lower end of the drive shaft is in active connection with a hole wall of an eccentric hole of the eccentric wheel,

vents are opened on the hole wall of the eccentric hole to use as a heat sink and pass through said hole wall radially, allowing the lower end of said drive shaft to be exposed to the outside through said vents, and

said lower end of said drive shaft, corresponding to said vents, is formed into a reduced diameter section, allowing edges of said vents to be positioned on said reduced diameter section.

2. The air pump according to claim 1, wherein said vents are two vents or three vents distributed evenly.

3. The air pump according to claim 1, wherein mounting holes corresponding to supports of said crank shaft are formed on the airbag seat, hole walls of said mounting holes are extended downward to form an accommodating chamber, top edges of said airbags ride on a top edge of said mounting holes of said airbag seat, a bottom column is mounted on said supports of said crank shaft, said airbags each have an airbag body, a hollow cylindrical airbag cavity of an upper section of said airbag body is positioned in said accommodating chamber of said airbag seat, an extrusion entity of a lower section of said airbag body is positioned at a lower side of said accommodating chamber, and a bottom of said hollow cylindrical airbag cavity is in connection with said extrusion entity through a lead angle.

4. The air pump according to claim 3 wherein a cavity wall of said hollow cylindrical airbag cavity of said upper section of said airbag body is composed of a straight wall, lead angle R9.3±

0.1 mm and lead angle R1.6±

01 mm from top to bottom, said thickness of said cavity wall of said hollow cylindrical airbag cavity is 0.35±

0.1 mm, and said bottom of said hollow cylindrical airbag cavity is in connection with a top of said extrusion entity through a lead angle R0.3±

0.1 mm.

5. The air pump according to claim 3, wherein said top edges of said airbags are connected together.

6. The air pump according to claim 1, wherein a one-way air outlet valve on an air outlet hole of said valve seat is an assembly valve, having a square cap and valve plate, said square cap covers a central square seat of said valve seat, a top of said square cap is extended outward to form a square sheet, a side of said square sheet is formed 45 degrees angle with a side of square cap, four corners of said square cap are respectively extended outward to form a positioning edge up to said side of said square sheet, a portion of said square sheet between said two adjacent positioning edges is said valve plate, and said valve plate is positioned on one side of said valve seat facing said upper cover and covers said air outlet hole of said valve seat.

7. The air pump according to claim 1, wherein a one-way air inlet valve configured on an air inlet hole of said valve seat is a single umbrella valve, having a umbrella stick and umbrella canopy, wherein said umbrella stick is inserted in a mounting hole of said valve seat, wherein two ends of the umbrella stick, corresponding to said mounting hole of said valve seat, are respectively formed into block heads which prevent said umbrella valve from being loosened, and said umbrella canopy covers said air inlet hole of said valve seat, the thickness of said entire umbrella canopy being uniform and a forward direction of said umbrella canopy is formed an acute angle with said umbrella stick.

8. An air pump, constituted by an upper cover, a valve seat, an airbag seat, a base, airbags, a crank shaft, a drive shaft, an eccentric wheel and an electric motor, an upper end of said drive shaft being in active connection with a central hole on a lower end of said crank shaft, wherein vents are opened on a hole wall of said central hole to use as a heat sink, allowing said upper end of said drive shaft to be exposed to the outside through said vents, and said upper end of said drive shaft corresponding to said vents is formed into a reduced diameter section, allowing edges of said vents to be positioned on said reduced diameter section.

9. The air pump according to claim 8, wherein said vents are two vents or three vents distributed evenly passing through said hole wall of said central hole radially.

10. The air pump according to claim 8, wherein mounting holes corresponding to supports of said crank shaft are formed on the airbag seat, a hole wall of said mounting holes is extended downward to form an accommodating chamber, top edges of said airbags ride on a top edge of said mounting holes of said airbag seat, a bottom column is mounted on said supports of said crank shaft, said airbags each have an airbag body, a hollow cylindrical airbag cavity of an upper section of said airbag body is positioned in said accommodating chamber of said airbag seat, an extrusion entity of a lower section of said airbag body is positioned at a lower side of said accommodating chamber, and a bottom of said hollow cylindrical airbag cavity is in connection with said extrusion entity through a lead angle.

11. The air pump according to claim 10 wherein a cavity wall of said hollow cylindrical airbag cavity of said upper section of said airbag body is composed of a straight wall, lead angle R9.3+0.1 mm and lead angle R1.6±

01 mm from top to bottom, said thickness of said cavity wall of said hollow cylindrical airbag cavity is 0.35±
