The cover plate 52 has a plurality of corresponding holes 521 respectively corresponding to the first air control hole 513, the second air control hole 514 and the third air control hole 515.

Referring to FIGS. 6, 7, 8, and 11, in the present embodiment, when the switching mechanism 5 is in a fully open position, the first air control hole 513 of the switch seat 51 corresponds to the first air outlet 267 of the gas output assembly 26, The second air vent 514 corresponds to the second air vent 268 of the gas output assembly 26. When the piston unit 3 moves down, the following several actions are simultaneously generated:

Action 1: As shown in FIG. 8, the movable piston 32 moved downward presses the first airflow located in the outer air reservoir 202 toward the first cannula portion 224 of the outer cylinder 22, and then, by The first communication portion 265 of the first communication seat 261 enters the first communication tube 263, and is then sent out by the first air outlet 267 of the second communication seat 262, and then passes through the switching mechanism 5 After the first air control hole 513 and the corresponding corresponding hole 521, the first channel 412 flows to the mounting seat 41, and finally is discharged through the air nozzle 42, that is, during the downward movement of the piston unit 3, The gas generating mechanism 9 stores the generated first airflow in the outer air storage chamber 202, and then flows out from the first air outlet 267, and finally connects the first air control hole 513 of the switching mechanism 5, and finally It is discharged by the gas nozzle 42.

Action 2: As shown in FIG. 7, during the downward movement of the piston unit 3, the volume of the first adjustment chamber 301 is reduced due to the upward movement of the control piston 24, and therefore, in the first adjustment chamber A compressed gas is generated in the 301, and the compressed gas will push the first control valve 243 into the control chamber 240, and the second control valve 244 will be closed, because the control chamber The 240 is in communication with the inner gas storage chamber 231. Therefore, the gas enters the second communication portion 266 of the first communication seat 261 via the inner gas storage chamber 231, and then passes through the second communication tube 264, and then the first The second air outlet 268 of the two connecting seats 262 is outputted, and the output gas passes through the second air control hole 514 and the corresponding corresponding hole 521, and then flows into the second channel 414 of the mounting seat 41, and finally the gas nozzle 42 discharge. That is to say, the second airflow generated by the gas generating mechanism 9 is outputted by the second air outlet 268, and is finally discharged by the air nozzle 42 by the engagement of the switching mechanism 5.

Action 3: As shown in FIG. 6, during the downward movement of the piston unit 3, the third adjustment chamber 201 will increase in volume due to the downward movement of the movable piston 32, and thus generate a suction to open the second intake air. The valve 28 allows external gas to enter the third conditioning chamber 201 for storage replenishment.

When the piston unit 3 moves up, the following actions occur:

Action 4: The external air reservoir 202 will generate suction due to an increase in volume to open the first intake valve 25, allowing external gas to enter the outer air reservoir 202 for replenishment.

Action 5: Following the third action, the third adjustment chamber 201 closes the second intake valve 28 due to the volume reduction, and simultaneously presses the stored gas into the second adjustment chamber 302 via the communication holes 311. After the gas reopens the second control valve 244, the gas control chamber 240 is entered, and the first control valve 243 is closed. Secondly, the gas continuously enters the inner gas storage chamber 231, and finally the action is followed. The flow passage of 2 sends the second airflow to the air nozzle 42, that is, the second airflow is generated regardless of whether the piston unit 3 is moved down or up, thereby achieving the purpose of dual stroke.

Action 6: When the piston unit 3 moves up, the volume of the first regulating chamber 301 increases, and after the suction is generated, the third air inlet valve 33 is opened, so that the gas source continuously enters the first regulating chamber 301. Store supplements.

Referring to Figures 7, 8, and 12, when the amount of air pumping is to be changed in this embodiment, the switching mechanism 5 is rotated about the outer cylinder 22 by an angle value and converted to a first half-open position. At this time, the second The air control hole 514 corresponds to the first air outlet 267 of the gas output assembly 26, and the first inlet 416 of the mounting seat 41. The second air outlet 268 of the gas output assembly 26 corresponds to the air vent of the switch seat 51. 516. When the piston unit 3 is pushed down, the first airflow located in the outer air reservoir 202 will flow along the flow path described in act 1 to the air nozzle 42. However, when the second airflow located in the inner air plenum 231 flows out of the second air outlet 268, it will be vented by the air vent 516 of the switch seat 51. That is, in the first half open position, only the first air flow is sent out by the air nozzle 42.

Referring to FIGS. 7, 8, and 13, when the switching mechanism 5 is rotated again to switch the switching mechanism 5 to a second half-open position, the third air control hole 515 will communicate with the second air outlet 268 and the second inlet 417. The venting opening 516 of the switching seat 51 will correspond to the first air outlet 267. Therefore, when the piston unit 3 is pushed down, the second airflow located in the inner gas storage chamber 231 will be transported along the step of the action 2, the gas nozzle 42 located in the outer gas storage chamber 202. An air flow is discharged from the air vent 516. Since the second air flow is also generated when the piston unit 3 is pulled up, the second air flow continuously flows to the air nozzle 42 in the second half open position. .

It can be seen from the above description that the switching mechanism 5 is mounted on the upper portion of the outer cylinder 22, and the first airflow and/or the second airflow can be selected by rotating the switching mechanism 5 by an angle value. It is sent to the gas nozzle 42. Since the switching mechanism 5 can be rotated around the outer cylinder 22 when the air volume is adjusted according to the present invention, the present invention is not only relatively simple in operation, but also can be easily judged by the rotational position of the switching mechanism 5. As shown in the embodiment, the present invention can also provide a protruding lever on the switch base 51, and set a number or a mark on the second position of the second connecting seat 262 to facilitate the interpretation of the air pumping amount. The invention is indeed a pump with novel structure and practicality.

However, the above is only the embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the invention is not limited thereto, and all the simple equivalent changes and modifications according to the scope of the patent application and the patent specification of the present invention are still Within the scope of the invention patent.
