The present invention relates to a built-in pump, and more particularly to a dual-shaft built-in pump.
A built-in pump is an electric pump that is built into an air bag of an inflatable product to inflate and deflate the air bag. Existing built-in pumps usually use only one motor to inflate and deflate. As known, when the fan blades are rotated under the driving of the motor, the airflow is outputted in only one direction, in view of this, a movable valve is usually configured within the built-in pump to switch the air inlet duct and the air outlet duct, so that the direction of the airflow can be changed to achieve the switch between inflation and deflation. However, it is necessary to skillfully configure the air inlet duct and the air outlet duct inside the pump, which leads to complicated structures of these ducts, and brings difficult processing and high costs.
One objective of the present invention is to provide a dual-shaft built-in pump, which has simple structure, convenient fabrication and low cost.
To achieve the mentioned above objective, the present invention provides a dual-shaft built-in pump including: a main body, provided with an inner cavity and an inlet communicated with the inner cavity, and the inner cavity having an air inlet and an air outlet; a motor cover, provided with an accommodating cavity having an air inflation vent that is communicated with the air inlet and an air deflation vent that is communicated with the air outlet; two valve bodies, one of the valve bodies being configured at the air inlet, and another of the valve bodies being configured at the air outlet; a first fan blade, located between the air inflation vent and the air inlet; a second fan blade, located between the air deflation vent and the air outlet; a dual-shaft motor, configured in the accommodating cavity and having an output shaft which has an end connected with the first fan blade and another end connected with the second fan blade; and a rotating member, rotatably provided on the main body and configured to drive either of the two valve bodies thereby opening the air inlet or the air outlet.

Therefore, either of the two valve bodies can be driven by means of the rotating member, thereby opening the air inlet and the air outlet. After the air inlet is opened, the air can flow in through the air inflation vent; after the air outlet is opened, the air can flow out from the air deflation vent.
