Abstract
A multifunctional air pump is disclosed including an air pump assembly, a control module, and a remote user input for inflating and deflating an inflatable product. The air pump may be operated remotely for convenience. The air pump may also operate automatically to maintain the pressure of the inflatable product.
Claims22
A multifunctional air pump comprising:
- an air pump assembly including a motor, the air pump assembly in fluid communication with an inflatable product and a surrounding atmosphere, wherein the air pump assembly is operable in:
- an inflation mode in which the air pump assembly inflates the inflatable product by operating the motor at a first speed and directing air from the surrounding atmosphere to the inflatable product;
- a deflation mode in which the air pump assembly deflates the inflatable product by operating the motor and directing air from the inflatable product to the surrounding atmosphere;
- and
- a maintenance mode in which the air pump assembly maintains inflation of the inflatable product by operating the motor at a second speed lower than the first speed and directing air from the surrounding atmosphere to the inflatable product;
- and
- a control module in electrical communication with the air pump assembly, the control module being configured to receive a user command and to operate the air pump assembly in one of the inflation, deflation, and maintenance modes based on the user command;
- a supplemental air admission system that is driven by the motor in the maintenance mode.
A multifunctional air pump in fluid communication with an inflatable product and operable in an inflation mode, a deflation mode, and a maintenance mode, the multifunctional air pump comprising:
- a motor;
- an air pump driven by the motor in the inflation mode to inflate the inflatable product and in the deflation mode to deflate the inflatable product;
- and
- a supplemental air admission system driven by the motor in the maintenance mode to maintain inflation of the inflatable product.
A multifunctional air pump in fluid communication with an inflatable product, the multifunctional air pump comprising:
- a motor;
- an air pump coupled to the motor;
- and
- a supplemental air admission system coupled to the motor;
- wherein the multifunctional air pump is operable in:
- an inflation mode in which the motor drives the air pump to inflate the inflatable product;
- a deflation mode in which the motor drives the air pump to deflate the inflatable product;
- and
- a maintenance mode in which the motor drives the supplemental air admission system to maintain inflation of the inflatable product.
