Another prior art provides a method for controlling the massage function of a car seat. This method can acquire massage sequence information input by the user and control multiple massage elements in the car seat to perform massage based on the massage sequence information.

[0004] While the methods described above can all alleviate muscle fatigue, their effectiveness is relatively poor. Therefore, improving the effectiveness of these methods in relieving muscle fatigue is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In one possible embodiment, the massage system further includes a massage control device and a frequency adjustment device. The massage control device is used to acquire massage requirements, which indicate a target massage intensity. The frequency adjustment device is used to adjust the frequency of an initial pulse signal based on the massage requirements to obtain a pulse signal of a first frequency corresponding to the target massage intensity. This first frequency pulse signal indicates the generation of a pulse current of the first frequency, which triggers electrical stimulation massage. The frequency of the first pulse current is the first frequency.

[0010] In one possible approach, the massage demand is also used to instruct heating or cooling. The frequency adjustment device is further configured to adjust the frequency of the initial pulse signal based on the massage demand to obtain a second frequency pulse signal or a third frequency pulse signal, wherein the second frequency pulse signal is used to instruct the generation of a second frequency pulse current, and the third frequency pulse signal is used to instruct the generation of a third frequency pulse current. The second frequency pulse current is used to trigger heating, and the third frequency pulse current is used to trigger cooling.

[0012] In one possible approach, the massage control device is also used to acquire vehicle environment information and / or user status information, and to determine massage needs based on the vehicle environment information and / or user status information.

[0013] In one possible approach, the massage control device is also used to acquire historical massage information and, based on that information, determine the massage requirements.

[0014] According to a second aspect of this application, a massage method is provided, applied to a massage system as described in the first aspect. The method includes: emitting an initial pulse signal, the initial pulse signal being used to generate a pulse current; generating a first pulse current based on the initial pulse signal, the first pulse current being used to perform electrical stimulation massage; and performing electrical stimulation massage based on the first pulse current.

[0015] In one possible embodiment, the massage system includes: at least one massage electrode, with each massage electrode corresponding to a massage position. Electrical stimulation massage based on a first pulse current includes: performing electrical stimulation massage at the massage position corresponding to the massage electrode based on the first pulse current.

[0016] In one possible approach, the massage method further includes: adjusting the electrode state of the massage electrodes before performing electrical stimulation massage at the massage position corresponding to the massage electrodes based on the first pulse current, the electrode state being used to indicate whether electrical stimulation massage is to be performed.

[0017] According to a third aspect provided in this application, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle including a massage system as described in the first aspect.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) An initial pulse signal can generate a first pulse current, which can penetrate the user's skin and stimulate deep muscles, effectively relieving deep muscle tension and pain. Thus, by performing electrical stimulation massage on the user, blood circulation can be effectively promoted, and muscle fatigue can be better relieved.

[0019] (2) Through at least one massage electrode 301, electrical stimulation massage can be performed on different parts of the user's body based on the first pulse current, thereby more effectively promoting blood circulation in the areas of muscle fatigue. In this way, muscle fatigue of the user can be relieved more precisely.

[0020] (3) By adjusting the state of the massage electrode 301, the working condition of the massage electrode 301 can be controlled, thereby accurately controlling the massage position corresponding to each massage electrode 301 in at least one massage electrode 301 to perform electrical stimulation massage on the corresponding position of the user, so that the massage electrode 301 can massage the user more flexibly.

[0021] (4) By adjusting the frequency of the initial pulse signal according to the massage needs, a pulse current of the first frequency can be generated, which allows the massage system to trigger electrical stimulation massage based on the target massage intensity. In this way, muscle fatigue of users can be relieved and the health risks caused by prolonged sitting can be reduced.

[0022] (5) By adjusting the frequency of the pulse signal, the frequency of the pulse current can be adjusted, thereby enabling switching between heating and cooling modes. Furthermore, it can quickly respond to user needs and perform heating or cooling.

[0023] (6) By using vehicle environmental information, the user's temperature requirements can be accurately determined. By using user status information, the user's fatigue level can be accurately determined, thereby accurately determining the user's massage intensity requirements.

[0024] (7) By obtaining historical massage information, the user’s previous usage can be determined, thereby improving the user’s riding experience based on the user’s usage habits.

[0025] (8) An initial pulse signal can generate a first pulse current, which can penetrate the user's skin and stimulate deep muscles, effectively relieving deep muscle tension and pain. Thus, by performing electrical stimulation massage on the user, blood circulation can be effectively promoted, and muscle fatigue can be better relieved.

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the massage system includes: a pulse signal transmitter 10, a pulse current control device 20, and a massage device 30.

[0034] Among them, the pulse signal transmitting device 10 is used to emit an initial pulse signal, which is used to generate a pulse current.

[0035] It should be noted that this application does not limit the pulse signal transmitting device 10. For example, the pulse signal transmitting device 10 can be a microcontroller, a function generator, a pulse generator, a pulse width modulation (PWM) chip, or a digital signal processor.

[0036] It should be noted that this application does not limit the type of the initial pulse signal. For example, the waveform type of the initial pulse signal can be a rectangular pulse signal, a triangular pulse signal, a sine wave pulse signal, a Gaussian pulse signal, or a bell-shaped pulse signal; the amplitude type of the initial pulse signal can be a unipolar pulse signal or a bipolar pulse signal; and the frequency type of the initial pulse signal can be a low-frequency pulse signal, a medium-frequency pulse signal, or a high-frequency pulse signal.

[0037] It should be understood that a low-frequency pulse signal is a pulse signal greater than the first frequency threshold and less than the second frequency threshold; a medium-frequency pulse signal is a pulse signal greater than the second frequency threshold and less than the third frequency threshold; and a high-frequency pulse signal is a pulse signal greater than the third frequency threshold. The first frequency threshold is less than the second frequency threshold, and the second frequency threshold is less than the third frequency threshold.

[0038] It should be noted that this application does not limit the first frequency threshold, the second frequency threshold, the third frequency threshold, and the fourth frequency threshold. For example, the first frequency threshold can be 1 Hz, 2 Hz, 3 Hz, 4 Hz, or 5 Hz; the second frequency threshold can be 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 3 kHz, 4 kHz, or 5 kHz; and the third frequency threshold can be 1 MHz, 10 MHz, 20 MHz, 30 MHz, or 40 MHz.

[0039] The pulse current control device 20 is used to generate a first pulse current based on an initial pulse signal, and the first pulse current is used for electrical stimulation massage.

[0040] Massage device 30 is used for electrical stimulation massage based on a first pulse current.

[0041] It should be noted that, based on the first pulse current, the electrical stimulation massage can effectively promote local blood circulation, relieve muscle fatigue, and reduce the health risks caused by prolonged sitting by simulating human bioelectric signals. This can solve the problem of muscle fatigue that users experience when driving for long periods of time.

[0042] Understandably, an initial pulse signal can generate a first pulse current, which can penetrate the user's skin and stimulate deep muscles, effectively relieving deep muscle tension and pain. Thus, by performing electrical stimulation massage on the user, blood circulation can be effectively promoted, better relieving muscle fatigue.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the massage device 30 includes at least one massage electrode 301, with each massage electrode 301 corresponding to a massage position.

[0044] The massage electrode 301 is used to perform electrical stimulation massage at the corresponding massage position based on the first pulse current.

[0045] It should be noted that at least one massage electrode 301 can be distributed in different positions on the car seat, so as to provide electrical stimulation massage to different parts of the user's body.

[0046] For example, massage electrodes 301 can be arranged in the top area of ​​the seat back to provide electrical stimulation massage to the neck. Massage electrodes 301 can be arranged below the neck and on both sides of the seat back to provide electrical stimulation massage to the shoulders. Massage electrodes 301 can be arranged in the rear of the seat cushion to provide electrical stimulation massage to the buttocks.

[0047] Understandably, by using at least one massage electrode 301, electrical stimulation massage can be applied to different parts of the user's body based on a first pulse current, thereby more effectively promoting blood circulation in areas of muscle fatigue. This allows for more precise relief of the user's muscle fatigue.

[0048] It should be noted that the states of the massage electrode 301 include: cathode, anode, and off state.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the massage device 30 also includes an electrode state switching device 302.

[0050] The electrode state switching device 302 is used to adjust the electrode state of the massage electrode 301, and the electrode state is used to indicate whether to perform electrical stimulation massage.

[0051] For example, at least one massage electrode includes a first massage electrode, a second massage electrode, and a third massage electrode. The electrode state switching device can adjust the first massage electrode to be a cathode and the second and third massage electrodes to be anodes. Alternatively, the electrode state switching device can adjust the first and second massage electrodes to be cathodes and the third massage electrode to be anode.

[0052] In this way, the first massage electrode, the second massage electrode, and the third massage electrode can all perform electrical stimulation massage at their respective massage positions.

[0053] Alternatively, the electrode state switching device 302 can adjust the first massage electrode 301 to the cathode, the second massage electrode 301 to the anode, and the third massage electrode 301 to the off state.

[0054] In this way, the first massage electrode 301, the second massage electrode 301, and the third massage electrode 301 can all perform electrical stimulation massage at their respective massage positions.

[0055] It is understandable that by adjusting the state of the massage electrode 301, the working condition of the massage electrode 301 can be controlled, thereby accurately controlling the massage position corresponding to each massage electrode 301 in at least one massage electrode 301 to provide electrical stimulation massage to the corresponding position of the user, so that the massage electrode 301 can massage the user more flexibly.

[0056] It should be noted that a pulse signal is a periodically changing electrical signal that includes a high-level state and a low-level state. The high-level state is used to indicate that a voltage higher than a preset voltage threshold is generated, and the low-level state is used to indicate that a voltage lower than a preset voltage threshold is generated.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pulse current control device 20 includes at least one of the following: a power switching device 201 and a second power supply 202.

[0058] The power switching device 201 is used to turn on and off based on the high-level state and low-level state of the pulse signal to control the second power supply 202 to generate pulse current.

[0059] It should be noted that the power switching device 201 is rapidly switched on and off under the action of a pulse signal, which can convert the electrical energy provided by the second power supply 202 into a pulse current. After the generated pulse current is delivered to the massage device 30, the pulse current flows between at least one massage electrode 301 and can discharge at the massage position corresponding to each massage electrode 301, thereby massaging the user.

[0060] It should be understood that the high-level state and low-level state of the pulse signal can control the on / off state of the pulse signal, thereby controlling the second power supply 202 to generate a pulse current with the same frequency as the pulse signal.

[0061] It should be noted that the frequency of the pulse current is related to the frequency of the pulse signal; the frequency of one pulse signal corresponds to the frequency of one pulse current.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the massage system also includes a massage control device 40 and a frequency adjustment device 50.

[0063] The massage control device 40 is used to acquire massage needs, which are used to indicate the target massage intensity.

[0064] The frequency adjustment device 50 is used to adjust the frequency of the initial pulse signal based on the massage requirements to obtain a pulse signal of the first frequency corresponding to the target massage intensity. The pulse signal of the first frequency is used to indicate the generation of a pulse current of the first frequency, and the pulse current of the first frequency is used to trigger the electrical stimulation massage.

[0065] It should be noted that the higher the frequency of the pulse current, the greater the massage intensity.

[0066] Optionally, the frequency of the first pulse current is a first frequency.

[0067] It should be noted that this application does not limit the first frequency. For example, the first frequency can be 2kHz, 4kHz, 6kHz, 8kHz, or 10kHz.

[0068] Understandably, by adjusting the frequency of the initial pulse signal based on massage needs, a pulse current of the first frequency can be generated, allowing the massage system to trigger electrical stimulation massage based on the target massage intensity. This can relieve muscle fatigue and reduce the health risks associated with prolonged sitting.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, massage needs are also used to indicate whether to heat or cool.

[0070] The frequency adjustment device 50 is further configured to adjust the frequency of the initial pulse signal based on massage requirements to obtain a second frequency pulse signal or a third frequency pulse signal. The second frequency pulse signal is used to indicate the generation of a second frequency pulse current, and the third frequency pulse signal is used to indicate the generation of a third frequency pulse current. The second frequency pulse current is used to trigger heating, and the third frequency pulse current is used to trigger cooling.

[0071] Optionally, the second frequency is greater than the first frequency heating threshold and less than the second frequency heating threshold. The third frequency is greater than the first frequency cooling threshold and less than the second frequency cooling threshold.

[0072] It should be noted that this application does not limit the first frequency heating threshold, the second frequency heating threshold, the first frequency cooling threshold, and the second frequency cooling threshold. For example, the first frequency heating threshold can be 50Hz, 100Hz, 150Hz, 200Hz, or 250Hz. For example, the second frequency heating threshold can be 1MHz, 2MHz, 3MHz, 4MHz, or 5MHz. For example, the first frequency cooling threshold can be 1kHz, 2kHz, 3kHz, 4kHz, or 5kHz. For example, the second frequency cooling threshold can be 100kHz, 150kHz, 200kHz, 250kHz, or 300kHz.

[0073] Understandably, by adjusting the frequency of the pulse signal, the frequency of the pulse current can be adjusted, thereby enabling switching between heating and cooling modes. Furthermore, it allows for rapid response to user needs, providing either heating or cooling.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the massage system also includes: an electromagnetic induction heating device 60 and / or an electromagnetic induction cooling device 70.

[0075] Optionally, the electromagnetic induction heating device 60 includes an electromagnetic induction coil and an electromagnetic thermal inductor. The electromagnetic induction cooling device 70 includes a magnetocaloric material and an electromagnetic coil.

[0076] It should be noted that the target time for the seat to heat up to the target temperature can be obtained. Then, the seat heating process can be tested under extreme temperature conditions to obtain the total target heat requirement needed for the seat to heat up to the target temperature within the target time. Subsequently, based on this total target heat requirement, an electromagnetic induction coil capable of continuously and stably outputting that total target heat requirement can be selected.

[0077] It should be noted that the target time for the seat to cool to the target temperature can be obtained. Then, the seat cooling process can be tested under extreme temperature conditions to obtain the total target cooling capacity required for the seat to cool to the target temperature within the target time. Subsequently, based on the total target cooling capacity requirement, a magnetocaloric material and an electromagnetic coil capable of continuously and stably outputting that target heat demand can be selected.

[0078] The electromagnetic induction heating device 60 is used for heating based on a pulsed current of a second frequency. The electromagnetic induction cooling device 70 is used for cooling based on a pulsed current of a third frequency.

[0079] It should be noted that the electromagnetic induction heating device 60 heats the liquid through the magnetocaloric effect of the electromagnetic induction coil. A pulsed current of the second frequency drives the induction coil to form an alternating pulsed magnetic field. When the liquid passes through a pipe made of a highly permeable magnetic material (i.e., an electromagnetic thermal inductor), eddy current losses are generated inside the pipe, converting electrical energy into heat energy, thus achieving heating. A pulsed current of the third frequency drives the electromagnetic coil inside the electromagnetic induction cooling device 70 to generate an alternating pulsed magnetic field. During the demagnetization phase, the alternating pulsed magnetic field weakens, the magnetic moments of the magnetocaloric material become disordered, and it absorbs heat from the surrounding environment, causing the cold end temperature to decrease, thereby achieving a cooling effect.

[0080] Understandably, the pulsed current of the second frequency enables the electromagnetic induction heating device 60 to heat up rapidly, and the pulsed current of the third frequency enables the electromagnetic induction cooling device 70 to cool down rapidly. This allows for precise temperature control.

[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the massage system also includes: a multimodal monitoring system 80, a cockpit control system 90, an output control device 100, and a first power supply 110.

[0082] The multimodal monitoring system 80 is used to acquire raw information about the occupants and the environment inside the vehicle.

[0083] It should be noted that the multimodal monitoring system 80 can obtain raw information about the people inside the vehicle and the raw information about the in-vehicle environment through monitoring devices such as vehicle temperature sensors, in-vehicle image monitoring equipment, infrared monitoring equipment, and heart rate monitoring devices.

[0084] The cockpit control system 90 is used to determine the operation in response to the user's massage needs and send a massage usage command to the output control device 100. The cockpit control system 90 is also used to process the original information of the occupants and the original information of the in-vehicle environment to obtain vehicle environment information, user status information and historical massage information.

[0085] Optionally, the cockpit control system 90 includes a neural network model.

[0086] It should be noted that the cockpit control system 90 can establish a neural network model based on the original in-vehicle occupant information and original in-vehicle environment information acquired by the multimodal monitoring system 80. Alternatively, the cockpit control system 90 can acquire sensory data on the heating and cooling of the massage system under different environments, and train a neural network model based on the sensory data. This neural network model can process the original in-vehicle occupant information and original in-vehicle environment information to obtain vehicle environment information, user status information, and historical massage information.

[0087] Understandably, by deploying a neural network model in the cockpit control system 90, adaptive optimization can be performed based on individual feedback.

[0088] The output control device 100 is used to parse massage usage instructions and obtain massage usage requirements.

[0089] The first power supply 110 is used to supply power to the output control device 100 and the pulse signal transmitting device 10.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the massage control device 40 is also used to acquire vehicle environment information and / or user status information, and to obtain massage requirements based on the vehicle environment information and / or user status information.

[0091] The vehicle environmental information includes at least one of the following: in-vehicle air temperature, seat surface temperature, and outside ambient temperature. User status information includes physiological status information and behavioral status information. Physiological status information includes at least one of the following: body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. Behavioral status information includes at least one of the following: user posture and duration of travel.

[0092] Optionally, the massage control device 40 can determine a target massage level from multiple preset massage levels based on user status information, and obtain a target massage intensity based on the target massage level. Each preset massage level corresponds to a specific massage intensity.

[0093] For example, multiple preset massage levels include: massage level 1, massage level 2, massage level 3, massage level 4, and massage level 5. Massage level 1 corresponds to massage intensity 1, massage level 2 corresponds to massage intensity 2, massage level 3 corresponds to massage intensity 3, massage level 4 corresponds to massage intensity 4, and massage level 5 corresponds to massage intensity 5. Massage intensity 1 is greater than massage intensity 2, massage intensity 2 is greater than massage intensity 3, massage intensity 3 is greater than massage intensity 4, and massage intensity 4 is greater than massage intensity 5. If the user's riding time exceeds a preset time and the user's heart rate is greater than a first preset heart rate threshold, the user requires a higher massage intensity, and the massage control device 40 can determine the target massage level as massage level 4. If the user's riding time exceeds a preset time and the user's heart rate is less than or equal to a preset heart rate threshold, the user requires a lower massage intensity, and the massage control device 40 can determine the target massage level as massage level 2.

[0094] Understandably, vehicle environmental information allows for accurate assessment of a user's temperature needs. User status information enables precise assessment of fatigue levels, which in turn allows for accurate determination of massage intensity preferences. Thus, by accurately determining a user's massage needs based on both the external environment and their actual condition, the appropriate massage temperature and intensity can be adjusted for different users, thereby enhancing their travel experience.

[0095] It should be noted that the massage system can store a user's historical massage information. When a user uses the massage system for the first time, the system can determine the user's massage needs based on vehicle environment information and user status information, and then provide the massage accordingly. When a user uses the massage system multiple times, the system can determine the user's massage needs based on historical massage information, and then provide the massage accordingly.

[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the massage control device 40 is also used to acquire historical massage information and obtain massage requirements based on the historical massage information.

[0097] The historical massage information includes at least one of the following: historical massage intensity and historical massage temperature.

[0098] For example, if a user's historical massage intensity is: five times using massage level 3 and once using massage level 1, then the massage demand is determined to be massage intensity 3.

[0099] Understandably, by obtaining historical massage information, it is possible to determine the user's previous usage patterns, thereby improving the user's travel experience based on their usage habits.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the power switching device 201 includes a first power switching device 2011, a second power switching device 2012, and a third power switching device 2013, and the second power supply 202 includes a first power supply 2021, a second power supply 2022, and a third power supply 2023.

[0101] The first power switching device 2011 is used to turn on and off based on the high-level state and the low-level state of the first pulse signal to control the first power supply 2021 to generate the first pulse current.

[0102] The second power switching device 2012 is used to turn on and off based on the high-level state of the second pulse signal and the low-level state of the second pulse signal, so as to control the second power supply 2022 to generate the second pulse current.

[0103] The third power switching device 2013 is used to turn on and off based on the high-level state and low-level state of the third pulse signal to control the third power supply 2023 to generate the third pulse current.

[0104] The first power supply 2021 is used to output a first pulse current to the massage device 30.

[0105] The second power supply 2022 is used to output a second pulse current to the electromagnetic induction heating device 60.

[0106] The third power supply 2023 is used to output a third pulse current to the electromagnetic induction cooling device 70.

[0107] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the massage system also includes a first water pump 120 and a heating chamber 130.

[0108] Heating chamber 130 is used to store the liquid to be heated.

[0109] The first water pump 120 is used to increase the pressure of the liquid to be heated.

[0110] The electromagnetic induction heating device 60 is used to heat the liquid to be heated based on a pulse current of a second frequency, so as to obtain a heated liquid.

[0111] It should be noted that the first water pump 120 increases the pressure of the liquid to be heated in order to deliver the liquid to be heated to the electromagnetic induction heating device 60.

[0112] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the massage system also includes a first temperature sensor 140.

[0113] The heating chamber 130 is also used to store heated liquid.

[0114] The first temperature sensor 140 is used to monitor the temperature of the liquid in the heating chamber 130.

[0115] It should be noted that by monitoring the temperature of the heating chamber 130, the rotation speed of the first water pump 120 can be controlled, and the electromagnetic induction heating device 60 can be operated or stopped, thereby ensuring that the liquid in the heating chamber 130 is kept within a suitable temperature range, and thus ensuring that the temperature of the seat is constant.

[0116] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the massage system also includes a second water pump 150 and a cooling chamber 160.

[0117] Cooling chamber 160 is used to store the liquid to be cooled.

[0118] The second water pump 150 is used to increase the pressure of the liquid to be cooled.

[0119] The electromagnetic induction cooling device 70 is used to cool the liquid to be cooled based on a pulse current of a third frequency, so as to obtain a cooled liquid.

[0120] It should be noted that the second water pump 150 increases the pressure of the liquid to be cooled in order to deliver the liquid to be cooled to the electromagnetic induction cooling device.

[0121] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the massage system also includes a second temperature sensor 170 and a heat dissipation device 180.

[0122] The cooling chamber 160 is also used to store the cooled liquid.

[0123] The second temperature sensor 170 is used to monitor the temperature of the liquid in the cooling chamber 160.

[0124] It should be noted that by monitoring the temperature of the cooling chamber 160, the rotation speed of the second water pump 150 can be controlled, and the electromagnetic induction cooling device can be activated or deactivated, thereby ensuring that the liquid in the cooling chamber 160 is kept within a suitable temperature range, and thus ensuring that the temperature of the seat is constant.

[0125] The heat dissipation device 180 is used to reduce the heat at the hot end of the magnetic refrigeration device and improve the refrigeration efficiency at the cold end of the magnetic refrigeration device.

[0126] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the electromagnetic induction heating device, the first water pump, and the heating chamber can form a first heating circuit, allowing the liquid to be heated in the heating chamber to flow into the electromagnetic induction heating device. After the electromagnetic induction heating device heats the liquid to be heated, the heated liquid can flow into the heating chamber through the first water pump.

[0127] In this way, the seat can be cooled through the first heating circuit.

[0128] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the electromagnetic induction cooling device, the second water pump, and the cooling chamber can form a first cooling circuit, allowing the liquid to be cooled in the cooling chamber to flow into the electromagnetic induction cooling device. After the electromagnetic induction cooling device cools the liquid to be cooled, the second water pump can cause the cooled liquid to flow into the cooling chamber.

[0129] In this way, the seat can be heated through the first cooling circuit.

[0130] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the massage system also includes a hot and cold cavity 190.

[0131] It should be noted that the hot and cold cavity 190 can be a heating cavity 130, or it can be a cooling cavity 160. The hot and cold cavity 190 can also be a cavity that combines the functions of the cooling cavity 160 and the heating cavity 130.

[0133] It should be noted that the massage system can be installed in the car seats.

[0134] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the electromagnetic induction heating device, the first water pump, and the hot and cold cavity 190 can form a second heating circuit, allowing the liquid to be heated in the hot and cold cavity 190 to flow into the electromagnetic induction heating device. After the electromagnetic induction heating device heats the liquid, the first water pump can then pump the heated liquid into the hot and cold cavity 190. Similarly, the electromagnetic induction cooling device, the second water pump, and the hot and cold cavity 190 can form a second cooling circuit, allowing the liquid to be cooled in the hot and cold cavity 190 to flow into the electromagnetic induction cooling device. After the electromagnetic induction cooling device cools the liquid, the second water pump can then pump the cooled liquid into the hot and cold cavity 190.

[0135] In this way, the seat can be heated through the first heating circuit and cooled through the second cooling circuit. Furthermore, the efficiency of heating and cooling can be improved.

[0136] In some embodiments, in response to a user's massage level selection and massage time selection operations, the massage system can acquire massage needs and massage time. Then, the massage system can adjust the frequency of the initial pulse signal based on the massage needs to obtain a pulse signal of a first frequency corresponding to the target massage intensity. Subsequently, the massage system can generate a first pulse current based on the first frequency pulse signal to provide electrical stimulation massage to the user at the corresponding massage position through at least one massage electrode 301.

[0137] Optionally, the massage system stops working in response to the user terminating the massage operation.

[0138] Alternatively, the massage system may stop working after the scheduled massage time has elapsed.

[0139] In some embodiments, the massage system can acquire massage needs through the massage control device 40. When the massage need information indicates the need for heating, the massage system activates the electromagnetic induction heating device 60 and the first water pump 120. If the massage system detects through the first temperature sensor 140 that the temperature of the liquid in the heating chamber 130 is lower than a first heating temperature threshold, the massage system controls the first water pump 120 to operate at full load. If the massage system detects through the first temperature sensor 140 that the temperature of the liquid in the heating chamber 130 is greater than or equal to the first heating temperature threshold, and the temperature of the liquid in the heating chamber 130 is less than or equal to a second heating temperature threshold, the massage system controls the first water pump 120 to reduce its rotation speed.

[0140] The first heating temperature threshold is less than the second heating temperature threshold.

[0141] Optionally, the massage system controls the first water pump 120 to reduce its rotation speed according to the temperature ratio.

[0142] In some embodiments, when the massage system detects through the first temperature sensor 140 that the temperature of the liquid in the heating chamber 130 is greater than the second heating temperature threshold, the massage system controls the electromagnetic induction heating device 60 to stop working and continues to monitor the temperature of the liquid in the heating chamber 130 through the first temperature sensor 140.

[0143] Alternatively, the massage system receives a stop heating command and controls the electromagnetic induction heating device 60 to stop working.

[0144] In some embodiments, the massage system can acquire massage needs through the massage control device 40. When the massage need information indicates the need for cooling, the massage system activates the electromagnetic induction cooling device 70 and the second water pump 150. If the massage system detects, via the second temperature sensor 170, that the temperature of the liquid in the cooling chamber 160 is greater than a first cooling temperature threshold, the massage system controls the second water pump 150 to operate at full load. If the massage system detects, via the second temperature sensor 170, that the temperature of the liquid in the cooling chamber 160 is less than or equal to the first cooling temperature threshold, but greater than or equal to the second cooling temperature threshold, the massage system controls the second water pump 150 to reduce its rotation speed.

[0145] The first cooling temperature threshold is greater than the second cooling temperature threshold.

[0146] Optionally, the massage system controls the second water pump 150 to reduce its speed proportional to the temperature.

[0147] In some embodiments, when the massage system detects through the second temperature sensor 170 that the temperature of the liquid in the cooling chamber 160 is lower than the second cooling temperature threshold, the massage system controls the electromagnetic induction cooling device 70 to stop working and continues to monitor the temperature of the liquid in the cooling chamber 160 through the second temperature sensor 170.

[0148] Alternatively, the massage system receives a stop cooling command and controls the electromagnetic induction cooling device 70 to stop working.

[0149] To facilitate understanding, the massage method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0150] Based on this, this application provides a massage method applied to the aforementioned massage system, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the massage method includes: S701, Obtain the initial pulse signal.

[0151] The initial pulse signal is used to generate pulse current.

[0152] S702, Generate the first pulse current based on the initial pulse signal.

[0153] The first pulse current is used for electrical stimulation massage, and the frequency of the first pulse current is the first frequency.

[0154] S703, Electrical stimulation massage based on the first pulse current.

[0155] Optionally, the massage system includes: at least one massage electrode, with each massage electrode corresponding to a massage position.

[0156] In one possible implementation, electrical stimulation massage can be performed at the massage position corresponding to the massage electrode based on the first pulse current.

[0157] Understandably, by using at least one massage electrode, electrical stimulation massage can be applied to different parts of the user's body based on a first pulse current, thereby more effectively promoting blood circulation in areas of muscle fatigue. This allows for more precise relief of muscle fatigue.

[0158] In some embodiments, before performing electrical stimulation massage at the massage position corresponding to the massage electrode based on the first pulse current, the electrode state of the massage electrode can be adjusted, and the electrode state is used to indicate whether electrical stimulation massage is to be performed.

[0159] Understandably, by adjusting the state of the massage electrodes, the working condition of the massage electrodes can be controlled, thereby accurately controlling the massage position corresponding to each massage electrode in at least one massage electrode to provide electrical stimulation massage to the corresponding position of the user, so that the massage electrodes can massage the user more flexibly.

[0160] Based on the above technical solution, an initial pulse signal can generate a first pulse current. This first pulse current can penetrate the user's skin and stimulate deep muscles, effectively relieving deep muscle tension and pain. Thus, by performing electrical stimulation massage on the user, blood circulation can be effectively promoted, better relieving muscle fatigue.

[0161] In some embodiments, massage requirements can be acquired, which indicate a target massage intensity. Then, based on the massage requirements, the initial pulse signal can be frequency-adjusted to obtain a pulse signal of a first frequency corresponding to the target massage intensity. This first-frequency pulse signal indicates the generation of a pulse current at a first frequency, which triggers electrical stimulation massage. The frequency of the first pulse current is the first frequency.

[0162] Understandably, by adjusting the frequency of the initial pulse signal based on massage needs, a pulse current of the first frequency can be generated, allowing the massage system to trigger electrical stimulation massage based on the target massage intensity. This can relieve muscle fatigue and reduce the health risks associated with prolonged sitting.

[0163] In some embodiments, the massage demand is also used to indicate heating or cooling. Based on the massage demand, the initial pulse signal can be frequency-adjusted to obtain a second frequency pulse signal or a third frequency pulse signal, wherein the second frequency pulse signal indicates the generation of a second frequency pulse current, and the third frequency pulse signal indicates the generation of a third frequency pulse current. The second frequency pulse current is used to trigger heating, and the third frequency pulse current is used to trigger cooling.

[0164] Understandably, by adjusting the frequency of the pulse signal, the frequency of the pulse current can be adjusted, thereby enabling switching between heating and cooling modes. Furthermore, it allows for rapid response to user needs, providing either heating or cooling.

[0165] In some embodiments, heating can be performed based on a pulsed current of a second frequency. Cooling can then be performed based on a pulsed current of a third frequency.

[0166] Understandably, by adjusting the frequency of the pulse signal, the frequency of the pulse current can be adjusted, thereby enabling switching between heating and cooling modes. Furthermore, it allows for rapid response to user needs, providing either heating or cooling.

[0167] In some embodiments, vehicle environment information and / or user status information may be obtained, and massage needs may be determined based on the vehicle environment information and / or user status information.

[0168] Understandably, vehicle environmental information allows for accurate assessment of a user's temperature needs. User status information enables precise assessment of fatigue levels, which in turn allows for accurate determination of massage intensity preferences. Thus, by accurately determining a user's massage needs based on both the external environment and their actual condition, the appropriate massage temperature and intensity can be adjusted for different users, thereby enhancing their travel experience.

[0169] In some embodiments, historical massage information can be obtained, and massage needs can be determined based on the historical massage information.

[0170] Understandably, by obtaining historical massage information, it is possible to determine the user's previous usage patterns, thereby improving the user's travel experience based on their usage habits.
