1 Answers
The tool for inflating car tires is called a car tire inflator pump. Definition of an inflator pump: An automotive inflator pump, also known as an air compressor, inflator, or portable air pump, operates by the rotation of an internal motor. When pumping air, the valve of the connector is pushed open by atmospheric pressure, allowing air to enter the cylinder. When inflating the tire, the valve is closed by the pressure inside the cylinder, directing the air into the tire. This process essentially utilizes atmospheric pressure to inflate cars, balls, and rubber boats. Working principle of an inflator pump: The working principle of a portable air pump: when the motor operates, during air intake, the valve of the connector is pushed open by atmospheric pressure, allowing air to enter the cylinder. When inflating the tire, the valve is closed by the pressure inside the cylinder, directing the air into the tire.
