[0049] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0050] With the development of intelligent automotive technology, the demand for comfort is increasing. During vehicle use, the number of external devices or scenarios requiring inflation is indeed showing a diversified and growing trend. However, in related technologies, vehicle inflation systems typically rely on high-pressure air tanks or air compressors within the air suspension system to supply gas for inflating external devices (such as tires and air cushions). However, the high gas pressure in air suspension systems usually requires complex depressurization processes before it can be used for external devices with lower pressure requirements, increasing system complexity and operational difficulty. Furthermore, the application scenarios of existing inflation systems are relatively limited, typically only usable under specific conditions, and unable to flexibly adapt to diverse inflation needs.

[0051] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides an inflation system that combines... Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes:

[0052] At least one massage air pump 1, the massage air pump 1 being configured to draw gas from the outside;

[0053] At least one distribution valve 2 is connected to the massage air pump 1 and is configured to distribute gas to the external inflation assembly 3 and / or the seat air bag 4.

[0054] The external inflation component 3 is connected to the distribution valve 2, and the external inflation component 3 is configured to inflate the external device.

[0055] Here, massage air pump 1 can be understood as, but is not limited to, a device that draws and pressurizes gas from the outside (such as air or compressed gas source), usually compressing and outputting gas through mechanical or electric means. For example, massage air pump 1 is the massage air pump of a car seat massage system. Distribution valve 2 can be, but is not limited to, a valve device that controls the flow of gas. It can be connected to the output end of the air pump and distribute the gas to different branches or devices by switching or diverting. For example, distribution valve 2 can be a three-way distribution valve, a multi-way selector valve, etc. External inflation component 3 can be, but is not limited to, a device for delivering gas to external devices, which can include structures such as hoses, interfaces, quick connectors, air tanks, control valves, etc. Seat airbag 4 can be, but is not limited to, an airbag device installed on the seat, usually used for safety protection or comfort adjustment. External device 400 can be, but is not limited to, a car air mattress, a car dust blower, a car tire, an escape inflatable boat, an air suspension airbag, etc.

[0056] Specifically, the massage air pump 1 draws gas from the outside, which may be untreated or pressurized before being transmitted to the distribution valve 2. The distribution valve 2 can distribute the gas to the external inflation assembly 3, the seat air bag 4, or both simultaneously, depending on the needs. When the distribution valve 2 distributes gas to the external inflation assembly 3, the external inflation assembly 3 can then transmit the gas to the external device 400 for inflation. When there is only one massage air pump 1 and one distribution valve 2, it means one massage air pump 1 is connected to one distribution valve 2; when there is one massage air pump 1 and multiple distribution valves 2, it means one massage air pump 1 is connected to multiple distribution valves 2; when there are multiple massage air pumps 1 and one distribution valve 2, it means multiple massage air pumps 1 are connected to the same distribution valve 2; when there are multiple massage air pumps 1 and multiple distribution valves 2, the connection combination of each massage air pump 1 and each distribution valve 2 can be one or more connection combinations such as one-to-one, multiple-to-one, or one-to-multiple. The external inflation component 3 can be one or more. The connection combination of the external inflation component 3 and the distribution valve 2 can include, but is not limited to, one-to-one, multiple-to-one, and one-to-multiple connections. Compared with related technologies that use high-pressure air tanks or air compressors to provide high-pressure gas, which is then depressurized before being used to inflate the external device 400, the inflation process is complex and the inflation scenarios are limited. This application, through the cooperation of one or more massage air pumps, and the distribution valve and external inflation components, achieves lower inflation pressure for the massage air pumps, thus eliminating the need for depressurization. Furthermore, since there is at least one, they can be stacked to meet more inflation scenarios.

[0057] In some implementations, combined Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the inflation system also includes at least one air tank 5, and the massage air pump 1 is connected to the distribution valve 2 through the air tank 5. The air tank 5 is configured to store gas.

[0058] Specifically, the massage air pump 1 draws gas from the outside and first transmits the gas to the air tank 5 for storage. Then, the distribution valve 2 releases the gas stored in the air tank 5 and distributes it to the external inflation assembly 3 and / or the seat air bag 4 as needed. When there is only one air tank 5, all massage air pumps 1 transmit gas to the same air tank 5, and all distribution valves 2 are connected to the same air tank 5. When there are multiple air tanks 5, the connection combination between the massage air pump 1 and the air tank 5 can be, but is not limited to, one-to-one, multiple-to-one, one-to-multiple, etc., and the connection combination between the distribution valve 2 and the air tank 5 can be, but is not limited to, one-to-one, multiple-to-one, one-to-multiple, etc. The air tank 5 can store compressed air, buffer the fluctuations in the output of the massage air pump 1, and ensure a smooth inflation process for the external device 400. When the external device 400 is inflating, the stored gas can be released directly to avoid frequent pump starts. Even when the air pump stops working, it can still provide a certain amount of gas support.

[0059] In some implementations, combined Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the number of massage air pumps 1 is the same as the number of air tanks 5, and each massage air pump 1 is connected to one air tank 5, and each air tank 5 is connected to one massage air pump 1.

[0060] Specifically, the number of massage air pumps 1 is the same as the number of air tanks 5, and the connection between them is one-to-one, that is, each massage air pump 1 corresponds to one air tank 5, and each air tank 5 is connected to only one massage air pump 1. Each massage air pump 1 and air tank 5 operates independently without interference. Even if one massage air pump 1 or air tank 5 malfunctions (such as blockage, leakage, or damage), the other massage air pumps 1 and air tanks 5 can operate normally, improving system redundancy and reliability.

[0061] In some implementations, combined Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each massage air pump 1 is connected to an air tank 5.

[0062] Specifically, each massage air pump 1 is connected to only one air tank 5, and the air tank 5 can be connected to one or more massage air pumps 1. Multiple massage air pumps 1 can supply air to the same air tank 5 simultaneously, significantly improving the inflation speed and gas storage capacity of the air tank 5. If one massage air pump 1 malfunctions, the other massage air pumps 1 can still supply air to the air tank 5, avoiding paralysis of the inflation system due to a single point of failure.

[0063] In some implementations, combinedFigure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each air tank 5 is connected to a massage air pump 1.

[0064] Specifically, each air tank 5 is connected to only one massage air pump 1, and the massage air pump 1 can be connected to one or more air tanks 5. One massage air pump 1 can supply air to multiple air tanks 5, improving the efficiency of equipment sharing.

[0065] In some implementations, combined Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the number of distribution valves 2 is the same as the number of gas storage tanks 5, and each distribution valve 2 is connected to one gas storage tank 5, and each gas storage tank 5 is connected to one distribution valve 2.

[0066] Specifically, the number of distribution valves 2 is the same as the number of gas storage tanks 5, and the connection between them is one-to-one, that is, each distribution valve 2 corresponds to one gas storage tank 5, and each gas storage tank 5 is connected to only one distribution valve 2. Each distribution valve 2 independently controls the gas input / output of its corresponding gas storage tank 5, avoiding mutual interference of gas flow between multiple gas storage tanks 5. At the same time, the opening degree or start / stop of the distribution valve 2 can be independently adjusted according to the needs of different gas storage tanks 5 (such as pressure, flow rate), improving the control accuracy of the inflation system.

[0067] In some implementations, combined Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each distribution valve 2 is connected to a gas storage tank 5.

[0068] Specifically, each distribution valve 2 is connected to only one gas storage tank 5, and the gas storage tank 5 can be connected to one or more distribution valves 2. The gas in the gas storage tank 5 can be quickly distributed to different branches, shortening the gas supply path and improving the response speed of the inflation system.

[0069] In some implementations, combined Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each gas storage tank 5 is connected to a distribution valve 2.

[0070] Specifically, each gas storage tank 5 is connected to only one distribution valve 2, and the distribution valve 2 can be connected to one or more gas storage tanks 5. The distribution valve 2 can centrally regulate the output pressure, ensuring pressure consistency among multiple gas storage tanks 5 and reducing pressure fluctuations.

[0071] In some implementations, combined Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the external inflation assembly 3 includes a large air tank 31, a control valve 32, and an external inflation interface 33.

[0072] The large gas storage tank 31 is connected to the distribution valve 2, and the large gas storage tank 31 is configured to store gas.

[0073] Control valve 32 is connected to large gas storage tank 31, and control valve 32 is configured to control the flow rate and pressure of gas;

[0074] The external inflation port 33 is connected to the control valve 32, and the external inflation port 33 is configured to connect to an external device for inflation.

[0075] Specifically, the gas drawn by the massage air pump 1 is directly or via the air tank 5 to the distribution valve 2, and then via the distribution valve 2 to the large air tank 31. When the external device 400 needs inflation, the control valve 32 releases the gas stored in the large air tank 31, which is then delivered to the external device 400 for inflation via the external inflation interface 33. The large air tank 31 can store compressed gas, buffering fluctuations in the massage air pump 1 and ensuring a smooth inflation process for the external device 400. When the external device 400 is consuming gas, the large air tank 31 can directly release the stored gas, avoiding frequent starts of the massage air pump 1. The control valve 32 can control the gas flow rate and pressure to meet different inflation scenarios and needs. The external inflation interface 33 can connect to the external device 400 to ensure stable gas delivery during inflation.

[0076] In some embodiments, the number of large gas storage tanks 31 is at least one.

[0077] In some implementations, the number of control valves 32 is at least one.

[0078] In some implementations, the number of external inflation ports 33 is at least one.

[0079] Specifically, the connection combination between at least one large gas storage tank 31 and at least one control valve 32 can be a one-to-one connection, a one-to-many connection, or a many-to-one connection. Similarly, the connection combination between at least one control valve 32 and at least one external inflation port 33 can be a one-to-one connection, a one-to-many connection, or a many-to-one connection. Different combinations and redundancy designs can improve the system's stability and adaptability to various scenarios.

[0080] This application provides an inflatable interactive system, combined with... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes:

[0081] The aforementioned inflation system 100;

[0082] Control unit 200 is connected to inflation system 100 and is configured to control at least one massage air pump 1 in inflation system 100 to draw gas to inflate external device according to inflation requirements of external device and / or user input.

[0083] This can be understood as follows: the control unit 200 may include, but is not limited to, a core device responsible for automating the inflation process. For example, the control unit 200 may be a vehicle domain controller, vehicle controller, etc.; inflation requirements may include, but are not limited to, the inflation requirements of external devices, such as target air pressure, inflation speed, inflation duration, air pressure range, etc.; user input may include, but is not limited to, instructions or parameters transmitted by the user to the system through an interactive interface or behavior, used to define or adjust inflation requirements, such as the user manually inputting a target air pressure value, starting inflation, ending inflation, selecting a preset inflation mode, selecting an inflation duration, etc.

[0084] Specifically, the control unit 200 first collects the inflation requirements and / or user input from the external device 400. After the external device is connected to the external inflation interface 33, it controls at least one massage air pump 1 in the inflation system 100 to extract gas according to the inflation requirements and / or user input. Then, it controls the distribution valve 2 to distribute the gas to the external inflation component 3. Finally, the gas is delivered to the external device 400 for inflation via the external inflation interface 33. Through the intelligent management of the control unit 200, the inflation interaction system achieves precise control, safety assurance, user-friendliness, and energy efficiency optimization of the inflation system, solving the problems of traditional inflation systems such as reliance on manual operation, low efficiency, and poor safety.

[0085] In some implementations, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inflation interaction system also includes a display device 300, which is connected to the control unit 200. The display device 300 is configured to acquire user input and display the inflation status.

[0086] Specifically, the display device 300 can display relevant information on the interface to allow users to input corresponding commands related to inflating the external device. For example, the display interface of the display device 300 can show the selected inflation time, inflation speed, inflation start, and inflation end. Users can click the corresponding soft buttons to issue commands and control the inflation interaction system to inflate the external device 400. Simultaneously, the display interface of the display device 300 reserves a window to display the real-time inflation status, such as the current air pressure of the external device 400, the inflation time already elapsed, and the estimated remaining time. Through the display device 300, the intuitiveness and convenience of user interaction, as well as real-time feedback and status transparency, can be improved.

[0087] In some embodiments, the control unit 200 and the display device 300 are integrated in the same module (e.g., integrated in the same circuit board or package). This module implements the coordinated operation of control logic and display functions through hardware or software.

[0088] In one specific embodiment, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the display screen of the display device 300 includes multiple display contents, such as:

[0089] 301: Soft button for selecting inflation time;

[0090] 302: Inflation start soft button;

[0091] 303: Soft button for ending inflation;

[0092] 304: The screen display area shows various inflation status prompts;

[0093] This application provides an inflation control method, combined with... Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the inflatable system described above, or the inflatable interactive system described above, includes:

[0094] Based on the inflation requirements of the external device and / or user input, control at least one massage air pump in the inflation system to draw gas to inflate the external device.

[0095] Specifically, based on inflation needs and / or user input, at least one massage air pump 1 in the inflation system 100 is controlled to extract gas to inflate the external device 400. The massage air pump 1 has a lower inflation pressure, so no pressure reduction process is required, and since there is at least one, they can be stacked to meet more inflation scenarios.

[0096] In some implementations, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inflation requirement includes at least the preset pressure value of the external device under normal conditions, and / or, the user input includes at least the selected inflation duration.

[0097] In some implementations, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, based on the inflation requirements of the external device and / or user input, at least one massage air pump in the inflation system is controlled to draw gas to inflate the external device, including:

[0098] Based on the preset pressure value under normal conditions of the external device, estimate the estimated inflation time required for N massage air pumps to inflate.

[0099] If the estimated inflation time is less than or equal to the selected inflation time, control N massage air pumps to inflate the external device;

[0100] If the estimated inflation time is longer than the selected inflation time, control (N+M) massage air pumps to inflate the external device;

[0101] Where N is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to the total number of massage air pumps X, and M is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to (XN).

[0102] Specifically, the inflation system 100 has X massage air pumps 1, where X is a natural number greater than or equal to 1, and the specific number depends on the actual design. Based on the preset pressure value of the external device 400 under normal conditions, the estimated inflation time required for N massage air pumps 1 to inflate the external device 400 to the preset pressure value under normal conditions is estimated, where N is a natural number greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to X. Next, the estimated inflation time is compared with the selected duration input by the user. If the estimated inflation time is less than or equal to the selected inflation time, then the N massage air pumps 1 in the inflation system 100 are controlled to inflate the external device 400; if the estimated inflation time is greater than the selected inflation time, it means that the current number of N massage air pumps 1 is insufficient, and more massage air pumps 1 need to be added to extract gas. In this case, (N+M) massage air pumps 1 in the inflation system 100 are controlled to inflate the external device 400, where M is a natural number greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to (XN). By dynamically allocating resources (flexible switching between N and N+M), the efficiency of the inflation system 100 is maximized, energy consumption is minimized, reliability is improved, and user needs are adapted, solving the problems of resource waste, low efficiency, and poor adaptability caused by the traditional fixed number of air pumps.

[0103] In some implementations, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the massage air pump includes a non-working air pump and a working air pump.

[0104] When N or (N+M) is less than or equal to the number of non-working air pumps, control N or (N+M) non-working air pumps to charge the external device.

[0105] When N or (N+M) is greater than the number of non-working air pumps, control all non-working air pumps and N or (N+M) minus the number of non-working air pumps to charge the external equipment.

[0106] Specifically, the inflation system 100 can supply air to the seat airbags 4 in the massage chair, supply air to the external device 400, or supply air to both the seat airbags 4 and the external device 400 simultaneously. Therefore, when the massage air pump 1 is supplying air to the seat airbags 4, it is in working condition; when the massage air pump 1 is not supplying air to the seat airbags 4, it is in non-working condition. Based on this principle, the massage air pump 1 is divided into non-working and working state air pumps. When N or (N+M) is less than or equal to the number of non-working air pumps, N or (N+M) non-working air pumps are controlled to inflate the external device 400. For example, if 5 massage air pumps 1 are needed, and the current number of non-working air pumps is 6, then 5 of the 6 non-working air pumps can be directly controlled to extract gas and inflate the external device 400. When N or (N+M) is greater than the number of non-working air pumps, all non-working air pumps and N or (N+M) minus the number of non-working air pumps (the number of working air pumps) are controlled to inflate the external device. For example, if 10 massage air pumps 1 are needed, and the current number of non-working air pumps is 6, then 4 more (10-6=4) working air pumps are needed to meet the demand. Therefore, all 6 non-working air pumps and 4 working air pumps (a total of 10 massage air pumps 1) are controlled to draw gas to inflate the external device 400. Depending on the external device 400, the non-massage air pumps are first controlled to work. When all non-working air pumps cannot meet the inflation demand, the massage air pumps are stopped from massaging and work together to perform the inflation operation, thus simultaneously satisfying both massage and inflation needs.

[0107] To more clearly illustrate embodiments of the inflation control method, in conjunction with Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one specific embodiment, by connecting the multi-seat massage small air tank 5 to the large air tank 31, and then autonomously controlling the working state of the seat massage air pump 1 according to the model of the external device 400 and the selection of the inflation time, it can simultaneously meet the external inflation application in multiple scenarios.

[0117] S109: When the preset pressure value of the external device is not reached, the user can press the end soft button on the PAD to end the inflation.

[0118] S110: After inflation is complete, the PAD will display the message: Inflation complete. Please remove the external device.

[0119] Reference Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the process of coordinated inflation of the various seat air pumps of the present invention. The coordinated inflation system specifically includes:

[0120] S201: Click the start soft button on the PAD to pair with external devices;

[0121] S202: Obtain relevant parameters of the external device after matching;

[0122] S203: After successful pairing, the PAD prompts you to select the inflation time range;

[0123] S204: Click on the estimated inflation time range on the PAD;

[0124] S205: Determine whether the estimated inflation time of an externally connected massage air pump in a non-working state is greater than the inflation time selected by the user. If it is greater, proceed to step S206, that is, add i more non-working massage air pumps to assist in inflation; if it is less, proceed to step 413, that is, one air pump performs the inflation operation.

[0125] S206: When it is greater than the inflation time selected by the user, it means that the inflation of one non-working massage air pump cannot meet the inflation requirements of the external device. Therefore, i non-working massage air pumps are linked, where i is taken from 1 to 6-a (6-a is the number of seat massage air pumps that are currently not in the massage state). When i≤6-a-1, proceed to step S207.

[0126] S207: Determine whether the estimated inflation time of the i+1 non-working massage air pumps when performing external inflation is greater than the inflation time selected by the user. If it is greater, proceed to step S206 (loop), that is, add another non-working massage air pump to assist in inflation (i = i+1); if it is less than, proceed to step S213, that is, the i+1 air pumps cooperate to perform inflation operation.

[0127] S208: In step S206, when i = 6 - a - 1, proceed to step S207. At this point, determine whether the coordinated inflation time of 6 - a (maximum number of massage pumps in non-massage state) massage pumps is greater than the user-set time. If it is greater, proceed to step S206, where i = 6 - a, and proceed to step S208. This involves stopping the massage of j+1 pumps in massage state and coordinating the inflation operation with the 6 - a pumps in non-massage state, where j ranges from 0 to a, 0 ≤ j ≤ a. When j+1 ≤ a, proceed to step S209; when j+1 > a, proceed to step S210.

[0128] S209: When j+1≤a, determine whether the estimated time for 6-a+j+1 air pumps to work together is greater than the user-set time. If it is greater, loop to step S208, that is, add one more working massage air pump to work together to inflate (j=j+1); if it is less than, loop to step 413, that is, 6-a+1+j air pumps work together to perform the inflation operation;

[0129] S210: In step S208, when j = a - 1, proceed to step S209. At this time, determine whether the inflation time of 6 - a + 1 + j massage air pumps working together is greater than the user-set time. If it is greater, loop back to step S208. At this time, j = a, proceed to step S210. The screen will prompt that the estimated inflation time when the 6 massage air pumps work together is Hmax. Please confirm whether to inflate. If yes is selected, proceed to step S211. If no is selected, proceed to step S212.

[0130] S211: The user selects and confirms inflation, and 6 air pumps work together to perform the inflation operation;

[0131] S212: The inflation operation ends if the user does not select to confirm inflation.

[0132] S213: When the air pump inflation time in steps S205, S207, and S209 is less than the user-set time, perform a coordinated inflation operation.

[0133] S214: Real-time feedback of pressure values ​​from external devices during collaborative inflation;

[0134] S215: Determine whether the preset pressure value of the external device has been reached;

[0135] S216: Inflation ends when the preset pressure value is reached;

[0136] S217: When the preset pressure value is not reached, but the user clicks the PAD end soft button, proceed to step S216;

[0137] S218: The screen will display a message after inflation is complete.
