[0033] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the airbag unit 100 is in the shape of a long strip. The airbag body 1 includes at least one airbag column 10, and the airbag column 10 includes two walls, namely a first wall 11 and a second wall 12. The peripheral edges of the two walls 11 and 12 are sealed and connected to form a sealing edge 14, and an inflation cavity 13 is formed between the two walls 11 and 12. Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the inflatable cavity 13, the first wall surface 11 and the second wall surface 12 are flat and close to each other. When the inflatable cavity 13 is inflated, the first wall surface 11 and the second wall surface 12 of the airbag column 10 bulge to both sides, forming an arc-shaped convex surface with a convex middle and connected at the sealing edges 14 on both sides. The inflated airbag column 10 is rod-shaped, and its cross section is shuttle-shaped or elliptical. In this embodiment, the airbag body 1 includes two airbag columns 10 stacked up and down, and the two airbag columns 10 are connected through a connecting port 130. The connecting port 130 is opened on the wall surfaces of the two airbag columns 10 that are close to each other. The wall surfaces of the two airbag columns 10 that are far away from each other form a bearing surface 131, that is, when the airbag unit 100 is installed, one of the two bearing surfaces 131 constitutes a surface facing upward for the user to sit or lie down, and the other constitutes a surface facing downward for supporting on a support body such as a bed frame. The airbag column 10 is provided with an inflation port (not shown), and the inflation port is provided between two adjacent airbag columns 10. In this way, when the inflation cavity 13 is inflated through the inflation port, the gas can be simultaneously filled into the two airbag columns 10, so that the two airbag columns 10 can tend to expand synchronously. In other embodiments, according to the height requirement of the airbag unit 100, the airbag body 1 can also include more airbag columns 10 stacked and arranged, and the multiple airbag columns 10 are connected to form the inflation cavity 13.

[0034] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 3As shown, the airbag unit 100 further includes installation bags 3 located on both sides of the airbag body 1.
