Inflating module for use with an inflatable object

An inflating module adapted to an inflatable object comprising an inflatable body, the inflating module comprising:

• a pressure controlling assembly configured to monitor air pressure in the inflatable object after the inflatable body has been inflated;
• and
• a supplemental air pressure providing device comprising:
• an inner housing comprising a first inlet in communication with ambient air;
• a first chamber located in the inner housing, the first chamber comprising a second inlet and a first outlet, the second inlet being in communication with the first inlet;
• an oscillator;
• an air blower operably connected to the oscillator, the air blower comprising a metal casing and a rubber cap arranged such that activation of the oscillator drives the metal casing to expand and contract, thereby causing the rubber cap to draw air into the second inlet and drive air out of the first outlet;
• a second chamber having a third inlet and a second outlet, the third inlet being in communication with the first outlet;
• and
• a one-way valve arranged to prevent a back flow of air from the inflatable body through the supplemental air pressure providing device;
• wherein the pressure controlling assembly is configured to automatically activate the supplemental air pressure providing device when the pressure controlling assembly detects that the air pressure inside the inflatable object decreases below a predetermined threshold after inflation, and to control the supplemental air pressure providing device to provide supplemental air pressure to the inflatable object so as to maintain the air pressure of the inflatable object within a predetermined range.

An inflating module adapted to an inflatable object comprising an inflatable body, the inflating module used in conjunction with a pump that provides primary air pressure and comprising:

• a pressure controlling assembly configured to monitor air pressure in the inflatable object after the inflatable body has been inflated by the pump;
• and
• a supplemental air pressure providing device comprising:
• an inner housing comprising a first inlet in communication with ambient air;
• a first chamber located in the inner housing, the first chamber comprising a second inlet and a first outlet, the second inlet being in communication with the first inlet;
• an oscillator, a metal casing and a rubber cap arranged such that activation of the oscillator drives the metal casing to expand and contract, thereby causing the rubber cap to draw air into the second inlet and drive air out of the first outlet;
• and
• a second chamber having a third inlet and a second outlet, the third inlet being in communication with the first outlet and the second outlet being in communication with the inflatable body;
• wherein the pressure controlling assembly is configured to automatically activate the supplemental air pressure providing device to provide supplemental air pressure to the inflatable object when the pressure controlling assembly detects that the air pressure inside the inflatable object decreases below a predetermined threshold after inflation by the pump.
