Abstract

A voltage regulation and speed regulation control circuit ( 100, 130, 200, 250 ) of an air pump ( 102 ) is provided. The voltage regulation and speed regulation control circuit ( 100, 130, 200, 250 ) may comprise a chopper power supply circuit ( 104, 202 ), a full bridge rectifier circuit ( 106, 204 ) and a switch ( 108, 212 ). The switch ( 108, 212 ) may be used to switch the chopper power supply circuit ( 104, 202 ) or the full bridge rectifier circuit ( 106, 204 ) to be connected to the positive and negative input terminals ( 103, 105 ) of the air pump ( 102 ). The output voltage of the chopper power supply circuit ( 104, 202 ) and the output voltage of the full bridge rectifier circuit may be different ( 106, 204 ).
