AIR PUMP CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. An air pump control system comprising:
- a first air pump for inflating or deflating an inflatable body;
a second air pump for supplementing air to said inflatable body;
a switching driving device connected to said first air pump and adapted to drive the switching between two or more air passages; and
an air pressure sensor for detecting an internal air pressure value of said inflatable body and adapted to generate an internal pressure signal associated with said internal air pressure value and send the same to a central control unit,wherein said central control unit is connected to said first and second air pumps, said switching driving device and said air pressure sensor, and is adapted to send a driving signal to drive said switching driving device so as to activate the switching between said air passages,and said central control unit is further adapted to send an activation signal or a deactivation signal to said first air pump according to the internal air pressure value of said inflatable body detected by said air pressure sensor and a pre-set inflating air pressure value, so as to activate or deactivate the first air pump,wherein after the internal air pressure value of said inflatable body reaches the pre-set inflating air pressure value, said central control unit is adapted to send an activation signal to said second air pump when the internal air pressure value of said inflatable body detected by said air pressure sensor reaches a pre-set supplementing air pressure value, and to send a deactivation signal to said second air pump when the internal air pressure value of said inflatable body detected by said air pressure sensor again reaches said pre-set inflating air pressure value, and wherein said pre-set supplementing air pressure value is less than or equal to said pre-set inflating air pressure value.

Abstract
An air pump control system includes a first air pump and a second air pump for inflating or deflating an inflatable body; a switching driving device connected to the air pumps for driving the switching between two or more air passages; and an air pressure sensor for detecting an internal air pressure value of the inflatable body, and sending an internal pressure signal to a central control unit, which is connected to the air pumps, the switching driving device, and the air pressure sensor. The central control unit sends a driving signal to the switching driving device to activate the switching between the air passages, and sends an activation or deactivation signal to the air pumps according to the detected internal air pressure value and a pre-set inflating air pressure value, to activate or deactivate the air pumps. An air pump control method is also disclosed herein.

16. An air pump control method comprising:
-
providing a first air pump and a second air pump; sending an inflating input signal, a deflating signal or a deactivation input signal to a central control unit; sending a driving signal to a switching driving device by said central control unit according to said inflating input signal, deflating signal or deactivation input signal, so that said switching driving device drives the switching between two or more air passages; driving the switching between two or more air passages by said switching driving device, and sending an activation signal or a deactivation signal to said first air pump when an internal air pressure value of said inflatable body detected by an air pressure sensor reaches a pre-set inflating air pressure value; wherein after the internal air pressure value of said inflatable body reaches the pre-set inflating air pressure value, said central control unit sends an activation signal to said second air pump when the internal air pressure value of said inflatable body detected by said air pressure sensor reaches a pre-set supplementing air pressure value, or sends a deactivation signal to said second air pump when the internal air pressure value of said inflatable body detected by said air pressure sensor again reaches said pre-set inflating air pressure value, and wherein said pre-set supplementing air pressure value is less than or equal to said pre-set inflating air pressure value. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
