Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of seat, backrest, and mattress support technology, specifically a human body support module. Background Technology
[0002] Support structures, especially those designed for the human body, are typically found in chairs, sofas, and mattresses. These traditional support cushions are made by covering and filling materials such as common fabrics, sponges, and latex, and then forming a support frame inside. For example, the support structure of a sofa disclosed in prior art CN 213605424 U, by setting a support device between the backrest and the massage device, and by setting a cushion to accommodate the massage device and adjust the vibration frequency of the massage device, while setting airbags in the cushion to easily adjust the comfort of the backrest, and by adjusting the inflation state of the airbags, adjusting the fit between the backrest and the human back, thereby making the back fit the massage device better and improving the massage effect.
[0003] However, the chemical agents such as dyes and adhesives added during the production process of traditional support pad surface covering materials can affect human health to some extent. For example, dyes containing specific azo groups are used to dye fabrics such as sofa covers, mattress surface fabrics, or support pads themselves. These azo dyes decompose and release carcinogenic aromatic amines such as benzidine and naphthylamine under the action of sweat. These aromatic amines enter the human body through skin contact or inhalation of dust. Long-term exposure to specific aromatic amines increases the risk of developing cancers such as bladder cancer. Support pads and other surface covering materials, such as leather and silk sheets, can create a hammock effect during use. This means that when the surface covering is under pressure, it stretches laterally, forming a uniform hammock shape instead of the intended body shape. Prolonged use can lead to fatigue and even skeletal deformities. Furthermore, the internal filling materials of support pads are prone to aging and cracking, or easily become damp and moldy, and cannot be washed. For example, latex can harden and crack; sponge can lose elasticity and deform, reducing its support; and coconut fiber can mold, etc. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Technical problems to be solved: To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a human body support module that uses a purely mechanical structure for support, without the chemical agents such as dyes and adhesives added during traditional processing. The array support structure using the principles of calculus gives the product advantages such as rigid structure and flexible support, thus solving the problems mentioned above.
[0005] Technical solution: To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a human body support module, comprising a support rod, the support rod comprising a sleeve that maintains the outer side of the sleeve diameter and a guide rod that slides on the inner side of the sleeve diameter, the front end of the guide rod being located inside the sleeve and the rear end being located outside the sleeve and having a spring connected to its surface, the front end of the spring being connected to the bottom of the sleeve and the rear end being located at the bottom of the guide rod, the front diameter of the spring being larger than the rear diameter, forming a conical spring that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, the bottom of the guide rod also being connected to a buckle, the guide rod being inserted into a fixing seat through the buckle at the bottom, and multiple guide rods being inserted into the surface of the fixing seat to form a module.
[0006] Preferably, the surface of the fixing seat is provided with fixing positions for mating buckles. The fixing positions are regularly or irregularly spaced on the surface of the fixing seat and pass through the fixing seat. The fixing positions are spaced apart by at least the diameter of the tube sleeve.
[0007] Preferably, the surface of the fixing seat is further provided with a through hole that extends through the diameter of the retaining sleeve. The through hole is regularly or irregularly distributed in the intervals of multiple fixing positions. The through hole is used for ventilation, drainage and screw fixing.
[0008] Preferably, a cap is also installed on the top of the sleeve, and the bottom of the cap is snapped into the sleeve to form a detachable connection. The top of the cap is a semi-circle or a teardrop shape covering the top of the sleeve.
[0009] Preferably, the diameter of the cap is equal to the outer diameter of the sleeve.
[0010] Preferably, the cap is made of wood or stone, wherein the wood includes cypress, camphor, agarwood and sandalwood; and the stone includes jade, crystal, wood fish stone, maifan stone, bian stone and beeswax.
[0011] Preferably, the fixing base is rectangular, polygonal, or circular, and multiple fixing bases are fastened together by fasteners passing through through holes at their respective edges.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the module formed by the plurality of guide rods is further provided with a housing.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a human body support module, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention, by arranging multiple support rods to form a support surface, ensures that when a user comes into contact with the support surface, their weight or pressure is distributed and transmitted to the multiple support rods. The support rods then transmit the pressure downwards to the springs. Since the spring is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, the support rods move downwards to compress the springs during pressure transmission. As the springs continue to compress, because the diameter of the next coil of the spring is smaller than that of the previous coil, the spring force increases exponentially with the compression stroke. Therefore, no matter how much pressure is applied, the springs will not bear all the pressure before force transmission. Furthermore, as the springs of the multiple support rods are in equilibrium under the overall pressure, they support the user. This achieves the beneficial effect of using a purely mechanical structure for support without the use of chemical agents such as dyes and adhesives added in traditional processes.
[0014] 2. In this invention, when the user comes into contact with the support surface, their weight or pressure is distributed and transmitted to multiple support rods. The support rods then transmit the pressure downwards to the springs. Since the springs are larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, the support rods move downwards to compress the springs during pressure transmission. The springs continue to press down. Because the diameter of the next coil of the spring is smaller than that of the previous coil, no matter how much pressure is applied, the springs will not bear all the pressure before force transmission. Furthermore, as the springs of the multiple support rods are subjected to pressure as a whole and reach equilibrium, they support the user. This achieves the beneficial effect of using an array support structure based on calculus principles to give the product a rigid structure and flexible support. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The components are: 1. Support rod; 2. Sleeve; 3. Guide rod; 301. Spring; 302. Buckle; 4. Fixing seat; 401. Fixing position; 402. Through hole; 5. Pipe cap. Detailed Implementation
[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-6 A human body support module includes a support rod 1. The support rod 1 includes a sleeve 2 that holds the outer side of the diameter of the sleeve 2 and a guide rod 3 that slides on the inner side of the diameter of the sleeve 2. The front end of the guide rod 3 is located inside the sleeve 2, and the rear end is located outside the sleeve and is connected to a spring 301. The front end of the spring 301 is connected to the bottom of the sleeve 2, and the tail end is located at the bottom of the guide rod 3. The diameter of the front end of the spring 301 is larger than the diameter of the tail end, forming a conical spring that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The bottom of the guide rod 3 is also connected to a buckle 302. The guide rod 3 is inserted into a fixing seat 4 through the buckle 302 at the bottom. Multiple guide rods 3 are inserted into the surface of the fixing seat 4 to form a module.
[0019] Furthermore, the aroma of cypress is believed to have a calming and soothing effect. The Compendium of Materia Medica records that it can dispel wind and detoxify. Its contact effects include: the gentle touch of the wood surface reduces skin irritation; volatile oils (such as α-pinene) are absorbed through the skin to promote local microcirculation; the aroma soothes the nerves; and scientific verification shows that cypress essential oil does indeed have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
[0020] Camphor wood can repel insects and foul odors, refresh the mind and invigorate the spirit. The volatile components of camphor have a slight irritating effect on the skin and increase alertness; its antibacterial properties reduce the risk of bacterial growth on the surface.
[0021] Common principles of jade, crystal, and Bian stone: Thermal conductivity: Stone conducts heat quickly, providing a cooling sensation in summer (physical cooling), and can be preheated for warm compresses in winter; Microscopic massage: The tiny surface bumps stimulate skin receptors, similar to the microneedling effect; Bian stone: Contains over 30 trace elements, but has extremely low transdermal absorption; Far-infrared radiation promotes subcutaneous blood flow, resulting in a warm sensation; Crystal: Has no special biological effects, but the visual stimulation from refracted light affects psychology; Amber's low thermal conductivity makes it feel gentler to the touch than jade, making it suitable for those who are sensitive to cold.
[0022] Furthermore, the above materials are used only as materials for directly manufacturing the cap 5, and are not an improvement on the material itself. Therefore, they comply with Article 25 of the Patent Law. The function of the above materials has been verified to be applicable in the field of health and wellness. The materials in this application are directly used without any improvement to the material. Furthermore, a housing is provided at the bottom of the module to cover the bottom of the module and form a protective layer, thereby preventing the module from falling apart or preventing the fixing base from being damaged by collision, which would result in insufficient support force of the guide rod. The housing includes a low-profile housing that covers the surface of the mounting base. The interior height of the housing is only enough to accommodate the mounting base. The mounting base is physically protected by limiting its position to prevent bumps and knocks. It can be removed directly from the housing when washing or ventilating. Furthermore, the housing also includes a medium-height housing that covers the guide rod 3, thus providing a larger protected area and preventing the guide rod 3 from being impacted.
[0023] Example 1 When using support rod 1 as a support structure for a sofa or mattress, since purely mechanical support structures similar to support rod 1 already exist, such as the discrete modular support structure disclosed in prior art CN 119138727 A, however, its specification includes... Figure 1 Paragraph 0029 of the instruction manual states that "as the single push rod 1 is subjected to the downward pressure from the top surface, it will move downward and press down on the spring 201. At this time, the piston rod 2 inside the spring 201 will penetrate into the cavity on the lower side of the support plate 3, ensuring that the push rod 1 will not be tilted due to pressure." The spring diameter in the prior art is constant, i.e., a straight tube spring. This results in the existing rod's pressure transmission during downward movement being from the rod to the spring, and then from the spring to the lower support surface. However, the spring in the prior art will inevitably lose its elasticity and deform under prolonged heavy pressure. To address this... To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this application sets the spring 301 as a conical spring that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. After multiple support rods 1 are arranged to form a support surface, once a user comes into contact with the support surface, their weight or pressure is distributed and transmitted to the multiple support rods 1. Then, the support rods 1, under pressure, begin to transmit the pressure downwards to the spring 301. Because the spring 301 is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, during pressure transmission, the support rods 1 move downwards to compress the spring 301, and then the spring 301 continues to press down. At this time, because the diameter of the next coil of the spring is smaller than that of the previous coil, as shown in the appendix to this application specification... Figure 3 As shown, no matter how much pressure is applied, the spring will not bear all the pressure before transmitting force. Furthermore, as the springs 301 of the multiple support rods 1 are subjected to force as a whole and the pressure is balanced, the user is supported. When the caps 5 on the surfaces of the multiple support rods 1 support the human body contact surface, the array support structure using the principle of calculus gives the product a rigid structure, flexible support, and the effect of a support surface. Because it uses a pure mechanical structure without the cloth, sponge, latex, and other materials commonly used in traditional support pads, it does not contain the dyes and adhesives added in the traditional support pad production process, and will not produce carcinogens due to use, making it more environmentally friendly and healthier.
[0024] Furthermore, multiple fixing seats are spliced together to form a large support module, using double-headed fixing fasteners. The protruding part of the fastener is passed through the through hole and then tightened with a nut. Since the fastener is prior art and can be purchased directly on the market, this application does not disclose its technical principle in detail, nor is it disclosed in the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Example 2 Furthermore, since multiple support rods 1 need to maintain their vertical stability when assembled into a support surface, a limiting structure is required. However, in the prior art document CN 119138727 A, paragraph 0033 discloses that "the entire top rod 1 moves downwards, and the piston rod 2 connected to the top rod 1 moves downwards through the through hole 301 into the lower space formed by the outer casing 4 and the support plate 3." This indicates that the limiting structure in the prior art is located in the middle of the rod. While this provides limiting, it fails to guarantee stability at the bottom of the rod, concentrating excessive pressure at the bottom. This can cause heavy objects to crush the rod when pressed down. To address this defect, a buckle 302 is installed at the bottom of the guide rod 3, and the buckle 302 is connected to the fixing seat 4 with a fixed locking position 401 to form a vertical structure, as shown in the appendix to the specification. Figure 2 As shown, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, once an object of excessive weight presses down on the support surface, the sleeve 2 will continuously press down on the spring 301 due to pressure, and after pressing the spring 301 to the bottom, it will contact the top surface of the fixed seat 4. At this time, the fixed seat 4 will form a secondary support, preventing damage to the bottom of the support rod 1.
[0026] Furthermore, when multiple support rods 1 are densely installed above the fixed seat 4, the rods will form an obstruction to the wind force due to their excessive density. When cleaning the support rods 1, it is difficult for the space inside to dry. Therefore, by opening the through hole 402, air can enter the interior of multiple support rods 1 from below the fixed seat 4, forming stable ventilation. This not only allows the user's skin to be ventilated and cooled, but also facilitates drying after cleaning.
[0027] Furthermore, the through hole 402 is not only used for ventilation, air circulation, and drainage, but also for screw fixing. When the support module needs to be used in other seat, backrest, and mattress support technologies, it is often necessary to use multiple rows and columns to form a fixed structure. Therefore, the through hole 402 is used as a screw hole to directly use screws for through fixing, thus fixing the entire module in this position.
[0028] In use, after arranging multiple support rods 1 to form a support surface, once a user comes into contact with the support surface, their weight or pressure is distributed and transmitted to the multiple support rods 1. The support rods 1 then receive pressure and transmit it downwards to the spring 301. Because the spring 301 is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, during pressure transmission, the support rods 1 move downwards to compress the spring 301. The spring 301 continues to press down. Since the diameter of the next coil of the spring is smaller than the previous coil, no matter how much pressure is applied, the spring will not bear all the pressure before force transmission. Furthermore, as the springs 301 of the multiple support rods 1 collectively bear the pressure and reach equilibrium, they support the user. A buckle 302 is installed at the bottom of the guide rod 3 and connected to the fixing seat 4 with a fixing slot 401 to form a vertical structure, as shown in the instruction manual. Figure 1-2 As shown, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, once an object of excessive weight presses down on the support surface, the sleeve 2 will continuously press down on the spring 301 due to pressure, and after pressing the spring 301 to the bottom, it will contact the top surface of the fixed seat 4. At this time, the fixed seat 4 will form a secondary support, preventing damage to the bottom of the support rod 1.
