In order to improve the sealing ability, the side of the valve body support 91 is provided with a sealing ring 14 towards the casing 5. When the air inlet 10 is sealed by the valve body support 91, and the connection part of the valve body support 91 and the bottom of the outer cylinder body 51 is sealed by the sealing ring 14.

An implementation principle of the dual-purpose inflator pump of this embodiment of the present application is as follows.
When the pump body 1 is used alone, the users can easily push the stand-alone slide switch 4 to move towards the movable block 33 when the pump body 1 is held, the stand-alone slide switch 4 presses the movable block 33 to further press the switch end of the trigger switch 34, so as to control the fan module 16 to operate. The fan module 16 operates to generate airflow 94, so as to inflate the inflator products. The stand-alone slide switch 4 moves to depart from the movable block 33, and does not press the movable block 33, so that the fan module 16 stops operating.
When the pump body 1 and the casing 5 are used in combination, the user presses the button 231 to drive the pushing block 232 to penetrate into the position where the two locking heads 22 are overlapped. The two second inclined planes 2321 of the pushing block 232 push the two locking heads 22 to move towards each other, so that the pump body 1 can be placed in the accommodation chamber 6 of the casing 5. After the pump body 1 is placed in the accommodation chamber 6 of the casing 5, the users release the button 231, the first spring 233 pushes the upper end of the button 231 out of the handle 18 to reset the button 231. At the same time, the pushing block 232 leaves the position where the two locking heads 22 are overlapped. The two locking heads 22 moves to depart from each other by the rebound force of the second spring 241, and the two locking heads 22 are inserted into the clamping groove 7, so the pump body 1 is rotatably connected to the casing 5. When the pump body 1 rotates the position where the pressing block 8 aligns with the movable block 33, the pressing block 8 presses the movable block 33 to push the movable block 33 to extend into the pump body 1, so as to open the fan module 16 in the pump body 1. The pump body 1 continues to rotate, and the pressing block 8 does not align with the movable block 33, so that the fan module 16 stops operating.
The operation of using the pump body 1 alone or combining the pump body 1 and the casing 5 is simple, which is conductive to improve the using convenience of the inflator pump.
