Detailed Embodiments

[0045] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0046] Refer to Figure 1 , which shows a structural block diagram of an inflatable massage vest of the present invention. The inflatable massage vest may specifically include:

[0047] A vest body 100 , wherein a plurality of receiving pockets 110 are provided inside the vest body 100 ;

[0048] The massage assembly 200 is installed in the receiving bag 110 and is configured to reciprocate to provide a massage effect;

[0049] A switch component 300 connected to the massage module at one end, for controlling the movement state of the massage component 200;

[0050] The inflatable component 400 connected to the other end of the switch component 300 is used to provide high-pressure gas to the massage component 200.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, the inflatable massage vest is composed of four parts: a vest body 100, a massage component 200, a switch component 300 and an inflatable component 400.

[0052] The vest body 100 is the wearable portion and is made of conventional fabrics. The vest body 100 can be made of a variety of materials or a single material. The material used to make the vest body 100 can be at least one of natural fibers and man-made fibers. Natural fibers include, but are not limited to, cotton, linen, silk, wool, and leather.

[0053] Cotton is a general term for various cotton textiles. Its advantages include warmth, softness, breathability, and hypoallergenic properties. However, its disadvantages include shrinkage and wrinkling, poor recovery, and a lack of gloss, necessitating frequent ironing.

[0054] Linen is a type of fabric made from various hemp plant fibers, including hemp, flax, ramie, jute, sisal, and abaca. Its advantages include exceptional strength, moisture absorption, thermal conductivity, and breathability. Its disadvantages include discomfort and a rough, stiff appearance.

[0055] Silk is a general term for various silk fabrics woven from cocoon silk. Like cotton, it comes in many varieties and has a variety of unique characteristics. Its strengths include lightness, form-fitting, softness, smoothness, breathability, vibrant colors, a rich luster, elegance, and comfort. Its weaknesses include wrinkling easily, absorption, a lack of strength, and rapid fading.

[0056] Woolen fabric, also known as wool, is a general term for fabrics woven from various types of wool and cashmere. Its advantages are wrinkle resistance, wear resistance, soft feel, elegance, crispness, elasticity, and warmth retention. Its main disadvantage is that it is difficult to wash, making it less suitable for summer clothing.

[0057] Leather is a tanned animal fur fabric. Leather classification: Leather includes genuine leather, recycled leather and artificial leather.

[0058] Man-made fibers include but are not limited to viscose, polyester, and aramid

[0059] Viscose, also known as rayon or ice silk, is a cellulose fiber made from cotton or other natural fibers. It possesses the properties of cotton and the qualities of silk. Its moisture content is ideal for human skin, resulting in smooth, cool, breathable, anti-static, and vibrant dyes. Viscose is resistant to sunlight, insects, heat, chemicals, solvents, and mold. It is breathable and absorbs sweat in hot weather, while retaining moisture in cold weather, generating no static electricity, and remaining soft and comfortable. Its drawback is its poor wrinkle resistance.

[0060] Polyester, scientifically known as polyester fiber, is a widely used synthetic fiber clothing fabric in daily life. Its greatest advantages are its excellent wrinkle resistance and shape retention, along with its high strength and elastic recovery. Therefore, it is durable, wrinkle-resistant, and iron-free. However, polyester fabric has poor moisture absorption, making it feel stuffy when worn. It is also susceptible to static electricity and dust, affecting its aesthetics and comfort. However, it dries easily after washing, with little loss of wet strength and deformation, resulting in excellent washability and wearability. Polyester is thermoplastic. At the same time, polyester fabric has poor melting resistance and is susceptible to forming holes when exposed to soot, sparks, and the like. Polyester fabric is highly resistant to various chemicals. It is not significantly damaged by acids or alkalis, and is resistant to mold and insects.

[0061] Argan fiber, scientifically known as polyurethane fiber, is also known as elastic fiber due to its excellent elasticity. Spandex is very elastic, and while it's not typically made with 100% polyurethane, it's typically blended into fabrics at a ratio of 5-30%. The resulting spandex fabrics all have a comfortable elasticity of 15-45%. Argan fiber fabrics are often made from composite yarns, with spandex as the core and other fibers as the sheath. These core-spun stretch fabrics offer excellent adaptability to the body and provide a non-compressive feel.

[0062] Based on the use requirements of the massage vest, suitable materials and fabrics can be selected to produce the vest body 100. The vest body 100 can be made by conventional cutting and weaving, or by 3D printing and integrated molding. This embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0063] The vest body 100 is provided with a plurality of storage pockets 110 inside. The storage pockets 110 can be arranged in different locations inside the vest body 100. For example, the storage pockets 110 can be provided only at the waist of the wearer after the vest body 100 is worn; they can be provided only at the shoulders of the wearer after the vest body 100 is worn; or they can be provided at both the shoulders and the waist of the wearer after the vest body 100 is worn.

[0064] In one example of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 The receiving bag 110 is only provided at the waist position of the user after the vest body 100 is worn.

[0065] The size of each accommodating bag 110 can be determined according to the position of the accommodating bag 110 on the vest body 100. For example, the accommodating bag 110 arranged at the waist position can be larger than that arranged at the shoulder position. Even for the accommodating bags 110 arranged at the same position, their sizes can be the same or different. For example, if the accommodating bags 110 are all arranged at the waist position, the corresponding sizes of the accommodating bags 110 at the waist position can be the same or different. The embodiments of the present invention do not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0066] The accommodating bag 110 can be an open accommodating bag 110 or a closed accommodating bag 110. When an open accommodating bag 110 is adopted, after the vest body 100 is processed, the massage component 200 can be placed in the accommodating bag 110. In the later stage, when the massage component 200 fails, it is also convenient to take out the massage component 200. When a closed accommodating bag 110 is adopted, the massage component 200 can be completely wrapped, making it difficult for foreign matters such as dust in the outside world to enter the massage component 200 and affect the operation of the massage component 200, which can reduce the failure rate of the massage component 200. Those skilled in the art can determine according to needs, and the embodiments of the present invention do not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0067] In an example of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 , the accommodating bag 110 is an open accommodating bag 110.

[0068] The massage component 200 is installed in the accommodating bag 110. It should be noted that at least one massage component 200 is installed in one accommodating bag 110. That is, one massage component 200 can be installed in one accommodating bag 110, or multiple massage components 200 can be installed.

[0069] The massage component 200 is a pneumatic component, which is a component that does work by the pressure or expansion of gas, that is, a machine part that converts the elastic energy of compressed air into kinetic energy. The user can send air to the massage component 200 to make the massage component 200 reach the first motion state; by exhausting air from the massage component 200, the massage component 200 can be made to reach the second motion state.

[0070] The first motion state and the second motion state are two states of the massage component 200. The massage component 200 can only be in the first motion state or the second motion state, and during the switching stage between the two motion states, it is the operating state before the switching. The first motion state and the second motion state are determined by the pneumatic type of the massage component 200. For example, if the pneumatic type of the massage component 200 is a normally closed type, that is, the first motion state is the working state; the second state is the reset state.

[0071] The massage component 200 switches its motion state through the action of gas, enabling the massage component 200 to reciprocate back and forth along its established direction, simulating the motion of a human finger and simulating massage actions, thereby providing a massage effect.

[0072] One end of the switch component 300 is connected to the gas path of the massage module, used to control the gas entering and exiting the massage component 200, thereby controlling the motion state of the massage component 200. When the switch component 300 is in the open state, gas enters the massage component 200; when the switch component 300 is in the closed state, gas is discharged from the massage component 200.

[0073] The type of the switch component 300 can be a solenoid valve, a manual valve, etc. When the switch component 300 is a solenoid valve, the switching function is achieved by controlling whether the corresponding circuit of the solenoid valve is powered on; when the switch component 300 is a manual valve, the switching function is achieved by the position of the corresponding valve of the manual valve.

[0074] The other end of the switch component 300 is connected to the inflation component 400. That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, gas sequentially passes through the inflation component 400, the switch component 300, and the massage component 200. The inflation component 400 is used to compress gas to form high-pressure gas and supply it to the massage component 200, and the massage component 200 moves through the high-pressure gas from the inflation component 400.

[0075] To facilitate those skilled in the art to more easily understand the embodiments of the present invention, the usage process of the embodiments of the present invention will be described herein:

[0076] The massage component 200, the switch component 300, and the inflation component 400 are all installed on the vest body 100. The user first wears the vest body 100. When the user turns on the switch component 300 and makes the switch component 300 in the open state, the inflation component 400 sucks air from the atmosphere, compresses the air to form high-pressure gas, and then sends the high-pressure gas to. The high-pressure gas enters the massage component 200 through the switch component 300, and the massage component 200 moves towards the user, achieving massage effects such as pressing, pushing, kneading, and pinching. Then the high-pressure gas flows out of the massage component 200 and enters the atmosphere, and the massage component 200 resets. The inflation component 400 continuously sends high-pressure gas into the massage component 200, and the massage component 200 realizes reciprocating operation, achieving continuous massage effects such as pressing, pushing, kneading, and pinching, thereby realizing self-massage using this inflatable massage vest without the need for others to help with the massage.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present invention, a vest body 100 is provided. A plurality of receiving bags 110 are arranged inside the vest body 100; a massage component 200 installed in the receiving bags 110 is used for reciprocating operation to provide a massage effect; a switch component 300 connected to one end of the massage module 200 is used for controlling the motion state of the massage component 200; an inflation component 400 connected to the other end of the switch component 300 is used for providing high-pressure gas to the massage component 200. By simulating the action of finger massage with the massage component 200 and arranging the massage component 200 in the receiving bags 110 of the vest body 100, when massage is needed, it can be conveniently worn and massaged, and the vest is easy to carry, so that massage can be carried out at any time and place to relieve fatigue.

[0078] Referring Figure 3 , a structural block diagram of another inflatable massage vest of the present invention is shown. The inflatable massage vest may specifically include:

[0079] A vest body 100, and a plurality of receiving bags 110 are arranged inside the vest body 100;

[0080] A massage component 200 installed in the receiving bags 110 is used for reciprocating operation to provide a massage effect;

[0081] A switch component 300 connected to one end of the massage module is used for controlling the motion state of the massage component 200;

[0082] One end of a high-pressure pipeline 500 is connected to the massage module, and the other end of the high-pressure pipeline 500 is connected to the inflation component 400;

[0083] The switch component 300 is installed on the high-pressure pipeline 500;

[0084] The output end of an air pump 410 is connected to the switch component 300 and is used for extracting and compressing air to form high-pressure gas;

[0085] A power supply 420 is connected to the air pump 410 and is used for providing power to the air pump 410.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present invention, it may be composed of an air pump 410, a power supply 420, a high-pressure pipeline 500, a switch component 300, a massage component 200, and a vest body 100.

[0087] The power supply 420 is the driving force source of the inflator 410. It can be a pure battery component. By charging the battery, the power supply 420 can store electrical energy to provide power for the inflator 410. It can also be composed of a battery combined with an energy charging device. For example, the power supply 420 is composed of a battery combined with a solar energy charging device. When outdoors or in a place with sufficient indoor light, the solar energy charging device can charge the battery, enabling the battery to be replenished at any time and increasing the power supply time.

[0088] The inflator 410 is connected to the power supply 420, obtains kinetic energy from the power supply 420, extracts air from the atmosphere by converting electrical energy into kinetic energy, and compresses it internally to form high-pressure gas.

[0089] The inflator 410 can specifically be a gear pump, a plunger pump, a centrifugal pump, a screw pump, or a Roots vacuum pump. Those skilled in the art can also select other types of pump bodies as the inflator 410 according to requirements, and the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0090] In a gear pump, the teeth of two gears separate from each other to form a low pressure, sucking in gas and sealing the gas between the teeth and the inner wall, and then sending it to the other side. On the other side, the teeth of the two gears come together to form a high pressure and discharge the gas.

[0091] A plunger pump, that is, a piston pump, sucks in air through the movement of the piston and forms high-pressure gas during the compression stroke, and outputs high-pressure gas at the end of the compression stroke.

[0092] In a centrifugal pump, the pump casing is filled with the sucked-in gas, the impeller rotates at high speed, and the gas generates high speed under the action of centrifugal force to output high-pressure gas.

[0093] In a screw pump, the rotation of one screw drives another screw, and the gas is intercepted in the meshing chamber, pushed along the rod axis direction, and then squeezed towards the center to discharge high-pressure gas.

[0094] In a Roots vacuum pump, with the continuous rotation of the rotor, the gas to be pumped is sucked into the space between the rotor and the pump casing from the intake port and then discharged through the exhaust port. Since the space is in a fully enclosed state after suction, the gas is compressed and expanded in the pump chamber. However, when the top of the rotor passes the edge of the exhaust port and this space communicates with the exhaust side, due to the higher gas pressure on the exhaust side, a part of the gas rushes back into this space, causing the gas pressure to suddenly increase. When the rotor continues to rotate, the gas is discharged out of the pump to output high-pressure gas.

[0095] After being compressed by the inflator 410, the gas will enter the high-pressure pipeline 500 connected to the inflator 410. That is, one end of the high-pressure pipeline 500 is connected to the inflator 410, and the other end of the high-pressure pipeline 500 is connected to the massage component 200.

[0096] The high-pressure pipeline 500 can adopt pipe fittings made of flexible hose material or pipe fittings made of rigid pipe material. When adopting pipe fittings made of flexible hose material, buckles can be arranged at both ends of the high-pressure pipeline 500 to prevent high-pressure gas leakage. That is, at least one buckle is arranged at the connection between the high-pressure pipeline 500 and the outlet of the air pump 410, and at least one buckle is arranged at the connection between the high-pressure pipeline 500 and the gas inlet of the massage component 200. For pipe fittings made of flexible hose material, the high-pressure pipeline 500 can be a fiber-reinforced polyurethane hose, a fiber-reinforced nylon hose, a steel-wire-reinforced polyurethane hose, a steel-wire-reinforced nylon hose, or a steel-wire-wound resin hose.

[0097] When adopting pipe fittings made of rigid pipe material, pipe threads can be arranged at both ends of the high-pressure pipeline 500, at the gas inlet of the massage component 200, and at the outlet of the air pump 410, and the gas is sealed through the pipe thread connection. For pipe fittings made of rigid pipe material, the high-pressure pipeline 500 can be a stainless-steel pipeline or a copper pipeline.

[0098] On the high-pressure pipeline 500, a switch component 300 is installed. One end of the switch component 300 is connected to the massage component 200, and the other end of the switch component 300 is connected to the air pump 410. The switch component 300 can be a main switch, that is, one switch component 300 controls the operation of all massage components 200, or it can be multiple independent switches. When the switch component 300 is an independent switch, the number of switch components 300 matches the number of massage components 200, so that the switch component 300 and the massage component 200 correspond. One switch component 300 can control the corresponding massage component 200, and different massage components 200 are controlled through multiple independent switches to achieve different massage effects.

[0099] Specifically, the switch component 300 can be an electromagnetic valve, and the opening and closing of the electromagnetic valve are controlled by changing the energized state of the electromagnetic valve, thereby controlling the movement of the massage component 200.

[0100] The massage component 200 is connected to the outlet of the high-pressure pipeline 500. The massage component 200 receives high-pressure gas, drives its own operation, discharges high-pressure gas, resets to the original state, and reciprocates to provide a massage effect.

[0101] Refer to Figure 4 and a structural diagram of a massage component 200 of the present invention is shown; refer to Figure 5 and a partial enlarged view of the A position of the massage component 200 is shown. In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the massage component 200 includes:

[0102] An actuating component air chamber 210 connected to the inflation component 400, and an air cavity is arranged in the actuating component air chamber 210;

[0103] An elastic member 220 arranged in the air cavity;

[0104] A support block 230 connected to one end of the elastic member 220;

[0105] A flexible member 240 connected to the other end of the elastic member 220;

[0106] When the inflation assembly 400 inflates the high-pressure gas into the air chamber, the high-pressure gas pushes the flexible member 240 to move in a direction away from the support block 230;

[0107] When the air chamber releases the high-pressure gas, the elastic member 220 resets the flexible member 240.

[0108] In practical applications, a massage assembly 200 may include multiple actuator assembly air chambers 210, a support block 230, the same number of flexible members 240 as the actuator assembly air chambers 210, and the same number of elastic members 220 as the actuator assembly air chambers 210.

[0109] The air inlet end of the actuator assembly air chamber 210 is connected to the inflation assembly 400. Specifically, the air inlet end of the actuator assembly air chamber 210 is connected to the outlet end of the air inflation pump 410. The high-pressure gas output by the air inflation pump 410 enters the air chamber in the actuator assembly air chamber 210 through the air inlet end of the actuator assembly air chamber 210. The high-pressure gas in the air chamber pushes the flexible member 240 to move in a direction away from the support block 230, that is, to move the flexible member 240 towards the user.

[0110] The flexible member 240, made of an elastic flexible material, extends and moves downward towards the user under the push of the high-pressure gas pressure, thereby simulating the massage effect of fingers.

[0111] For the material of the flexible member 240, it can be TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethanes, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber), TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer, thermoplastic elastomer), etc.

[0112] TPU is a polymer material formed by the copolymerization reaction of diisocyanate molecules such as diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) or toluene diisocyanate (TDI), macromolecular polyols, and low-molecular polyols (chain extenders). The molecular structure is composed of rigid segments obtained by the reaction of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) or toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and chain extenders, and flexible segments obtained by the reaction of diisocyanate molecules such as diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) or toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and macromolecular polyols, which alternate with each other. It has characteristics such as high strength, good toughness, wear resistance, cold resistance, oil resistance, water resistance, aging resistance, and weather resistance. At the same time, it has many excellent functions such as high waterproof and moisture permeability, wind resistance, cold resistance, antibacterial, antifungal, warmth retention, ultraviolet resistance, and energy release. When using TPU to manufacture the flexible member 240, it can be formed by processing techniques such as injection molding, extrusion molding, and blow molding.

[0113] TPE is a polymer material that combines the characteristics of plastics and rubbers. It shows high elasticity of rubber at room temperature and can be plasticized and molded at high temperatures. The structural feature of thermoplastic elastomers is that they are composed of resin segments and rubber segments with different chemical bonds. The resin segments form physical cross-linking points by intermolecular forces, and the rubber segments are high-elastic segments that contribute elasticity. The physical cross-linking of the plastic segments changes reversibly with temperature, showing the plastic processing characteristics of thermoplastic elastomers. Therefore, thermoplastic elastomers have the physical and mechanical properties of vulcanized rubber and the processing properties of thermoplastic plastics.

[0114] Furthermore, in order to place more flexible members 240 in a massage assembly 200, the flexible member 240 can be in a honeycomb shape, so that a larger number of flexible members 240 can be arranged in a plane, making the massage more precise and the massage position more accurate, achieving a better massage effect.

[0115] In the air chamber of the actuating assembly air chamber 210, an elastic member 220 is provided. It should be noted that the number of elastic members 220 corresponds to the number of actuating assembly air chambers 210, and one elastic member 220 cooperates with one actuating assembly air chamber 210. The outer diameter of the elastic member 220 is smaller than the inner diameter of the air chamber, allowing high-pressure air to flow in the air chamber. One end of the elastic member 220 is connected to the support block 230, and the other end is connected to the flexible member 240. The elastic member 220 can be a helical cylindrical spring, a disc spring, a leaf spring, a helical spring, a conical scroll spring, a torsion bar spring, etc.

[0116] In an example of the present invention, the elastic member 220 is a helical cylindrical spring.

[0117] When the high-pressure gas pushes the flexible member 240 to move, since the elastic member 220 is connected to the flexible member 240, the elastic member 220 is driven to move passively following the flexible member 240, making the elastic member 220 in a stretched state. When the high-pressure gas is released to the outside of the air chamber, since there is no thrust on the flexible member 240, that is, the tension on the elastic member 220 disappears. At this time, in order to maintain kinetic energy balance, the elastic member 220 resets to the other end, pulling the flexible member 240 to reset, so that the flexible member 240 returns to its initial position, waiting for the high-pressure gas of the inflator 410 to enter the air chamber again to push it next time.

[0118] The support block 230 connected to the other end of the spring is a rigid element of the massage assembly 200. The support block 230 is also connected to the other end of the actuator assembly air chamber 210 away from the flexible member 240. When the elastic member 220 and the high-pressure gas push the flexible member 240, the support block 230 remains undeformed and bears the reaction forces of the elastic member 220 and the high-pressure gas, so that the elastic member 220 and the high-pressure gas can apply tension and thrust to the flexible member 240.

[0119] The support block 230 can be made of metal or engineering plastic. The number of support blocks 230 is one, that is, there is only one support block 230 for one massage assembly 200, and all the actuator assembly air chambers 210 and elastic components on the massage assembly 200 are connected to different positions of one support block 230.

[0120] Of course, for the convenience of processing, the support block 230 can be divided into several support sub-blocks, and the support sub-blocks are connected into a whole through connecting pieces.

[0121] In addition, in order to improve the durability of the massage assembly 200, the massage assembly 200 may further include:

[0122] A protective layer 250 connected to the actuator assembly air chamber 210 for protecting the actuator assembly air chamber 210;

[0123] A fabric layer 260 covering the flexible member 240 for protecting the flexible member 240.

[0124] In the embodiment of the present invention, a protective layer 250 can be provided outside the actuator assembly air chamber 210. The protective layer 250 is connected to the actuator assembly air chamber 210 to protect the actuator assembly air chamber 210 from being damaged by foreign objects and reduce the failure of the actuator assembly air chamber 210.

[0125] The protective layer 250 can be made of wear-resistant materials. Specifically, the wear-resistant materials can also be non-metallic wear-resistant materials, such as polymer wear-resistant materials, ceramic wear-resistant materials, and composite ceramic wear-resistant materials. The polymer wear-resistant materials can include wear-resistant rubber, polyurethane, and polyethylene. The ceramic wear-resistant materials can include silicon carbide wear-resistant materials and wear-resistant ceramic chips. The composite ceramic wear-resistant materials can include XK-YHL-1.0-2.0 normal-temperature wear-resistant particulate rubber, XK-YHL-J-2.0 medium-temperature wear-resistant particulate rubber, and XK-YHL-G-3.0 high-temperature wear-resistant particulate rubber.

[0126] The fabric layer 260 covers the flexible member 240 and also has extensibility. When the flexible member 240 is stretched, the fabric layer 260 also moves accordingly, so that the flexible member 240 does not directly contact the user's skin or clothing. While protecting the flexible member 240 from being worn, the fabric layer 260 protects the user's skin. The fabric layer 260 can be made of wear-resistant and skin-friendly fabrics, such as Cordura nylon, acrylic fiber, twill, etc.

[0127] The massage assembly 200 is installed in the receiving pocket 110 of the vest body 100, and the receiving pocket 110 is arranged on the inner side of the vest body 100.

[0128] To facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present invention by those skilled in the art, the usage process of the embodiments of the present invention will be described herein:

[0129] The massage assembly 200, the switch assembly 300, the air pump 410, and the power supply 420 are all installed on the vest body 100. The massage assembly 200, the switch assembly 300, and the air pump 410 are connected by a high-pressure pipeline 500. The air pump 410 obtains electrical energy from the power supply 420, extracts air from the atmosphere to form high-pressure gas, and transports it to the switch assembly 300. When the user wears the vest body 100 and turns on the switch assembly 300, the high-pressure gas at the switch assembly 300 flows into the actuator chamber 210 of the massage assembly 200. The high-pressure gas pushes the flexible member 240 to extend outward in the air chamber, achieving massage effects such as pressing, pushing, kneading, and pinching. When the high-pressure gas reaches the outlet of the air chamber, it is released into the atmosphere. At this time, the elastic member 220 resets, driving the flexible member 240 to reset. Repeating and continuously performing the above steps realizes the massage using the inflatable massage vest.

[0130] In an embodiment of the present invention, a honeycomb-shaped flexible member 240 is used to simulate a finger. A high-pressure gas is delivered into the air chamber of the actuating assembly air chamber 210 through an air pump 410 to drive the movement of the flexible member 240. And when the high-pressure gas is released into the atmosphere, the flexible member 240 is reset by an elastic member 220 to simulate massage techniques. Since there are multiple flexible members 240 in the massage assembly 200, more delicate massage can be achieved, making the massage effect better. And the massage assembly 200 is arranged in the receiving bag 110 inside the vest body 100, which is convenient to wear and easy to carry, and is convenient to use at any time.

[0131] Referring to Figure 6 , a structural block diagram of another inflatable massage vest of the present invention is shown. The inflatable massage vest may specifically include:

[0132] A vest body 100, with a plurality of receiving bags 110 arranged inside the vest body 100;

[0133] A massage assembly 200 installed in the receiving bag 110, for reciprocating operation to provide a massage effect;

[0134] A switch assembly 300 connected to one end of the massage module, for controlling the movement state of the massage assembly 200;

[0135] An inflating assembly connected to the other end of the switch assembly 300, for providing high-pressure gas to the massage assembly 200;

[0136] A communication component 600 is connected to the switch assembly 300, for receiving control instructions and controlling the state of the switch assembly 300.

[0137] In an embodiment of the present invention, the inflatable massage vest is composed of an inflating assembly, a switch assembly 300, a communication component 600, a massage assembly 200, and a vest body 100.

[0138] The inflating assembly is controlled by the switch assembly 300. When the switch state is in the on state, the high-pressure gas generated by it is sent into the massage assembly 200. The massage assembly 200 reciprocates under the action of the high-pressure gas to achieve a massage effect. The massage assembly 200 is installed in the receiving bag 110 inside the vest body 100.

[0139] The communication component 600 is connected to the switch assembly 300 for the state of the switch assembly 300. Specifically, the communication component 600 can control the state of the switch assembly 300 according to the instructions received from the user.

[0140] It should be noted that the connection between the communication component 600 and the switch component 300 is an electrical connection, which can be a wired electrical connection or a wireless electrical connection. When it is a wired electrical connection, it can be physically and wiredly connected through information lines such as network cables and transmission lines. When it is a wireless connection, a mobile communication network such as a 5G (5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology) network can be used; the Internet of Things such as WIFI (Wireless Fidelity), Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc. can be used. Those skilled in the art can make a choice according to the usage environment and requirements, and the embodiments of the present invention do not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0141] Furthermore, the communication component 600 includes a communication element and a display element;

[0142] The display element is used to provide a user interface and generate a control instruction based on an operation on the user interface;

[0143] The communication element is used to receive the control instruction and control the state of the switch component 300.

[0144] In the embodiment of the present invention, the communication component 600 specifically includes two parts, a communication element and a display element.

[0145] The display element is used to provide a user interface. The user interface displays various options and the layout positions of the massage components 200. The user can generate a control instruction by selecting different massage components 200 on the user interface for movement. Reference can be made to Figure 7 , which shows a schematic diagram of a user interface of the present invention. There are position options for the massage components 200, options for massage techniques, and options for massage intensity on this user interface. The user generates a control instruction by selecting the required options on this user interface and sends the control instruction to the communication component 600.

[0146] The communication component 600 then controls the state of the switch component 300 according to the control instruction.

[0147] In addition, since users may have usage habits, before generating a control instruction, it can be asked whether to save the current instruction, so that the state of the switch component 300 can be automatically controlled next time without relying on the communication component 600, realizing full-automatic massage.

[0148] In the embodiments of the present invention, the massage mode required by itself is selected through the communication component 600 for massage, providing more choices for users. By controlling the state of the switch component 300 through different control instructions, and then controlling the operation of the massage component 200, different massage effects are achieved, making the massage effect more customizable and effectively massaging the user.

[0149] Finally, it should also be noted that in this text, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or terminal device comprising a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or terminal device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "comprising an..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or terminal device comprising the element.

[0150] The above has introduced in detail an inflatable massage vest provided by the present invention.
