Abstract
A high and low-pressure integrated air pump includes a single housing including an air inlet and an air outlet. A high-pressure pump is disposed within the housing and in fluid communication with the air inlet, and uses a first outlet passage to discharge to the air outlet. A low-pressure pump is also disposed within the housing and in fluid communication with the air inlet, and uses a second outlet passage to discharge to the air outlet.
Claims29
A high and low-pressure integrated air pump, comprising:
- a housing including an air inlet and an air outlet;
- a high-pressure pump disposed within the housing, in fluid communication with the air inlet and in fluid communication with the air outlet via a first outlet passage;
- and
- a low-pressure pump disposed within the housing, in fluid communication with the air inlet and in fluid communication with the air outlet via a second outlet passage, wherein the low-pressure pump is configured to automatically disengage and the high-pressure pump is configured to automatically engage in response to a common signal.
A high and low-pressure integrated air pump, comprising:
- a housing including an air inlet and an air outlet;
- a high-pressure pump disposed within the housing in fluid communication with the air inlet and the air outlet;
- a low-pressure pump disposed within the housing and in fluid communication with the air inlet and the air outlet;
- a pressure valve disposed between the low-pressure pump and the air outlet;
- and
- a control circuit in electrical communication with the pressure valve and configured to activate the high-pressure pump and deactivate the low-pressure pump in response to a common signal from the pressure valve.
A high and low-pressure integrated air pump, comprising:
- a housing including an air inlet and an air outlet;
- a high-pressure pump disposed within the housing in fluid communication with the air inlet and the air outlet;
- a low-pressure pump disposed within the housing and in fluid communication with the air inlet and the air outlet;
- a pressure valve disposed between the low-pressure pump and the air outlet, the pressure valve comprising:
- a signal switch in electrical communication with a control circuit,
- a diaphragm in fluid communication with the low-pressure pump, and
- a trigger disposed between and in communication with the signal switch and the diaphragm, wherein if the pressure within the low-pressure pump reaches a threshold, the trigger is biased towards the signal switch and triggers the signal switch to send a signal to the control circuit;
- and
- the control circuit in electrical communication with the pressure valve and configured to control the high-pressure pump and the low-pressure pump in response to signals from the pressure valve.
A high and low-pressure integrated air pump, comprising:
- a housing including an air inlet and an air outlet;
- a high-pressure pump disposed within the housing in fluid communication with the air inlet and the air outlet;
- a low-pressure pump disposed within the housing and in fluid communication with the air inlet and the air outlet;
- a pressure valve disposed between the low-pressure pump and the air outlet;
- and
- a control circuit in electrical communication with the pressure valve and configured to control the high-pressure pump and the low-pressure pump in response to signals from the pressure valve, wherein the high-pressure pump and the low-pressure pump both include at least one check valve, and wherein the pressure valve is disposed between the low-pressure pump and one of the at least one check valve of the low-pressure pump.
A high and low-pressure integrated air pump, comprising:
- a housing including an air inlet and an air outlet;
- a pressure sensor;
- a high-pressure pump disposed within the housing, in fluid communication with the air inlet and in fluid communication with the air outlet via a first outlet passage;
- and
- a low-pressure pump disposed within the housing, in fluid communication with the air inlet and in fluid communication with the air outlet via a second outlet passage, wherein the low-pressure pump is configured to automatically disengage and the high-pressure pump is configured to automatically engage in response to a detection of a common pressure threshold by the pressure sensor.
