Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a seat-based massage method, device, equipment, medium, and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With technological advancements, people have increasingly higher demands for vehicle comfort, such as the desire for massage functions in car seats. Current technology often employs single-point airbags (e.g., 10 o'clock, 8 o'clock, 6 o'clock) distributed on the A-side (the front of the seat foam), utilizing the inflation / deflation of these airbags to achieve the massage function. Alternatively, massage is achieved on the B-side (the back of the seat foam) using multi-airbag lumbar support. However, massage modes achieved through single-point airbags or multi-airbag lumbar support are limited, resulting in poor massage effects and often failing to provide the desired massage experience in actual use.

[0039] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates exemplary embodiments of the present invention, including various details to aid understanding. These details should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0040] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0041] This invention provides a seat-based massage method that pre-inflates the shoulder support airbags in the shoulder massage airbag assembly and performs at least one inflation / deflation operation on the massage airbags in the shoulder massage airbag assembly in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. This achieves a massage of the shoulders in a massage group mode, simulating the kneading techniques of traditional Chinese medicine. This increases the massage modes of the seat, effectively relieves user fatigue during travel, and improves the user experience.

[0042] The shoulder massage airbag assembly provided in this embodiment of the invention includes one shoulder support airbag and N massage airbags. The N massage airbags are evenly distributed on the shoulder support airbag. Both the shoulder support airbag and the N massage airbags can be independently inflated / deflated. N is a positive integer greater than 1, for example, N = 3. The three massage airbags (three-layer airbags) and the shoulder support airbag (single-layer airbag) are pressed together using ultrasound.

[0043] Optionally, the seat also includes a lumbar massage airbag assembly. The lumbar massage airbag assembly includes M massage airbags.

[0044] Optionally, the seat also includes a leg massage airbag assembly. The leg massage airbag assembly comprises K massage airbags. The massage airbags in the lumbar massage airbag assembly and the leg massage airbag assembly are the same as those in the shoulder massage airbag assembly, and can all be independently inflated / deflated.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the number of massage airbags in the shoulder massage airbag assembly, the waist massage airbag assembly, and the leg massage airbag assembly is the same, i.e., N=M=K.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, to achieve a better massage effect and effectively improve muscle stiffness and soreness caused by prolonged sitting, the shoulder, waist, and leg massage airbag assemblies are respectively divided into left-side and right-side massage airbag assemblies. Left and right sides can be defined from the direction facing forward or backward, and this invention does not limit this definition. Furthermore, the arrangement areas of the left and right shoulder, waist, and leg massage airbag assemblies are areas where the pressure is concentrated when the human body is seated. For example, the pressure concentration areas can be determined based on statistical values ​​of body pressure on the seat (e.g., by collecting body pressure distribution data for different weights and genders and combining it with ergonomics), and the shoulder, waist, and leg massage airbag assemblies can be arranged in these pressure concentration areas. As an optional example, the shoulder massage airbag assembly covers the infraspinatus, teres minor, and teres major muscles of the shoulder; the waist massage airbag assembly covers the latissimus dorsi and external oblique muscles; and the leg massage airbag assembly covers the adductor magnus of the leg. The massage airbag assembly in the massage method provided by this invention will be described below using N=M=K=3 as an example.

[0047] Figure 1A and Figure 1B A schematic diagram of the structure of the seat provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2A A schematic diagram of the shoulder massage airbag assembly in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2B A schematic diagram of the shoulder massage airbag assembly in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2C A schematic diagram of the leg massage airbag assembly in an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0048] like Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, the seat includes the seat body, the left shoulder massage airbag assembly (such as...). Figure 1A (as shown in "①"), right shoulder massage airbag assembly (as shown in "①") Figure 1A (as shown in "②"), left lumbar massage airbag assembly (as shown in "②") Figure 1A (as shown in "③"), right lumbar massage airbag assembly (as shown in "③") Figure 1A (as shown in "④"), left leg massage airbag assembly (as shown in "④") Figure 1A (as shown in "⑤"), right leg massage airbag assembly (as shown in "⑤") Figure 1A (As shown in "⑥"). The right shoulder massage airbag assembly, the left shoulder massage airbag assembly, the right waist massage airbag assembly, the left waist massage airbag assembly, the right seat cushion massage airbag assembly, and the left seat cushion massage airbag assembly are respectively attached to the corresponding positions on the A side of the seat foam using adhesive backing.

[0049] like Figure 2A As shown, the left shoulder massage airbag assembly includes: shoulder support airbag s1, massage airbag c1, massage airbag c2, and massage airbag c3; the right shoulder massage airbag assembly includes: shoulder support airbag s2, massage airbag c4, massage airbag c5, and massage airbag c6. Figure 2B As shown, the left lumbar massage airbag assembly includes: massage airbag C7, massage airbag C8, and massage airbag C9; the right lumbar massage airbag assembly includes: massage airbag C10, massage airbag C11, and massage airbag C12. Figure 2C As shown, the left seat cushion massage airbag assembly includes massage airbags c13, c14, and c15. The right seat cushion massage airbag assembly includes massage airbags c16, c17, and c18. It should be noted that each shoulder support airbag and massage airbag in the left shoulder massage airbag assembly, right shoulder massage airbag assembly, left lumbar massage airbag assembly, right lumbar massage airbag assembly, left leg massage airbag assembly, and right leg massage airbag assembly can be independently inflated / deflated.

[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, each air bag (including the shoulder support air bag and the massage air bag) in the shoulder, waist, and leg massage air bag assembly is in a deflated state (i.e., uninflated state) by default. When an inflation operation is performed on a certain air bag, that air bag is in an inflated state. Figure 3A A schematic diagram showing the airbag in a deflated state is illustrated. Figure 3A In the diagram, “⑦” indicates the shoulder support airbag in a deflated state, “⑧” indicates the massage airbag in the shoulder massage airbag assembly in a deflated state, and “⑨” indicates the massage airbag in the waist massage airbag assembly in a deflated state. Figure 3B This diagram illustrates the airbag in an inflated state. Figure 3B In the diagram, "⑦" indicates the shoulder support airbag in an inflated state, "⑧" indicates the massage airbag in an inflated state in the shoulder massage airbag assembly, and "⑨" indicates the massage airbag in an inflated state in the waist massage airbag assembly. The deflated and inflated states of the massage airbags in the leg massage airbag assembly are similar to those in the shoulder and waist massage airbag assemblies, and will not be illustrated further here.

[0051] In the massage method provided in the embodiments of the present invention, each air bag in each air bag assembly can be pre-inflated and then re-inflated.

[0052] Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, the shoulder support airbag includes two states: a pre-inflated state and a deflated state (i.e., an uninflated state). The pre-inflated state refers to the state after the shoulder support airbag has been pre-inflated. The massage airbags in each airbag assembly include four states: a pre-inflated state, an inflated state based on pre-inflatation, an inflated state without pre-inflatation, and a deflated state. The inflated state based on pre-inflatation refers to the state after the massage airbag has been pre-inflated and then inflated again. The inflated state without pre-inflatation refers to the state after the massage airbag has been directly inflated without pre-inflating.

[0053] To better illustrate the status of each airbag, different colors are used to represent different statuses below.

[0054] Figure 4 A schematic diagram showing the state of each airbag in the left shoulder massage airbag assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided. Figure 4 As shown in "4-1", the shoulder support airbag S1 is red, indicating that it is pre-inflated; the massage airbags C1, C2, and C3 are white, indicating that they are deflated. Figure 4 As shown in "4-2", the red color of shoulder support airbag S1 and massage airbag C1 indicates that both are pre-inflated. The red color of shoulder support airbag S1 and massage airbag C1 indicates they are in a pre-inflated state, while the white color of massage airbags C2 and C3 indicates they are deflated. Figure 4 As shown in "4-3", the shoulder support airbag s1 is red, indicating that it is pre-inflated; the massage airbag c1 is yellow, indicating that it has been re-inflated after pre-inflation; and the massage airbags c2 and c3 are white, indicating that they are deflated. Figure 4 As shown in "4-4", the blue massage air bag c1 indicates that it is in an inflated state without pre-inflation, while the shoulder support air bag s1, massage air bags c2 and c3 are white, indicating that they are in a deflated state.

[0055] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the left lumbar massage airbag assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 5 As shown in "5-1", the red massage air bag c7 indicates that it is pre-inflated; the white massage air bags c8 and c9 indicate that they are deflated. Figure 5 As shown in "5-2", the yellow massage air bag c7 indicates that it has been pre-inflated and then re-inflated, and is in a pre-inflated state; the white massage air bags c8 and c9 indicate that they are in a deflated state. Figure 5 As shown in "5-3", the blue massage air bag c7 indicates that it is in an inflated state without pre-inflation, while the white massage air bags c8 and c9 indicate that they are in a deflated state.

[0056] Figure 6A A schematic flowchart of a chair-based massage method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 6A As shown, the method includes:

[0057] Step S601: Receive a massage start command. Specifically, if the massage start command instructs for a kneading massage of the shoulders, proceed to step S602-1. If the massage start command instructs for a kneading massage of the waist, proceed to step S602-2. If the massage start command instructs for a kneading massage of the legs, proceed to step S602-3. In optional implementation scenarios, when a user needs to use the seat's massage function, they can issue a massage start command to the seat via the in-vehicle screen or the in-vehicle voice assistant. For example, the user can trigger the massage function by operating the in-vehicle system or a massage-related application through the in-vehicle screen, or issue a voice command to the in-vehicle voice assistant to start the massage function.

[0058] Step S602-1: In response to the recognition of the massage start command indicating to perform a kneading massage on the shoulder, the shoulder support airbag in the shoulder massage airbag assembly is pre-inflated, and the N massage airbags in the shoulder massage airbag assembly are inflated / deflated at least once in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The kneading massage on the shoulder implements the biomimetic kneading and pinching massage techniques. Kneading refers to using a set of airbags to rotate and press down in a circular motion, either clockwise or counterclockwise. Pinching refers to using two adjacent airbags to simultaneously press down and press down, simulating the rapid squeezing motion of fingers.

[0059] For example, the N massage airbags in the left shoulder massage airbag assembly are inflated / deflated alternately in a clockwise direction, and the N massage airbags in the right shoulder massage airbag assembly are inflated / deflated alternately in a counter-clockwise direction. Alternatively, the N massage airbags in the left shoulder massage airbag assembly are inflated / deflated alternately in a counter-clockwise direction, and the N massage airbags in the right shoulder massage airbag assembly are inflated / deflated alternately in a clockwise direction.

[0060] Step S602-2: In response to recognizing the massage start command instruction to perform a kneading massage on the waist, perform at least one inflation / deflation operation on the M massage air bags in the waist massage air bag assembly in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

[0061] For example, the M massage airbags in the left lumbar massage airbag assembly are inflated / deflated alternately in a clockwise direction, and the M massage airbags in the right lumbar massage airbag assembly are inflated / deflated alternately in a counter-clockwise direction. Alternatively, the M massage airbags in the left lumbar massage airbag assembly are inflated / deflated alternately in a counter-clockwise direction, and the M massage airbags in the right lumbar massage airbag assembly are inflated / deflated alternately in a clockwise direction.

[0062] Step S602-3: In response to recognizing the massage start command instruction to perform a kneading massage on the legs, perform at least one inflation / deflation operation on the K massage airbags in the leg massage airbag assembly in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

[0063] For example, the K massage airbags in the left leg massage airbag assembly are inflated / deflated alternately in a clockwise direction, and the K massage airbags in the right leg massage airbag assembly are inflated / deflated alternately in a counter-clockwise direction. Alternatively, the K massage airbags in the left leg massage airbag assembly are inflated / deflated alternately in a counter-clockwise direction, and the K massage airbags in the leg and waist massage airbag assembly are inflated / deflated alternately in a clockwise direction.

[0064] The process of inflating / deflating the massage airbags of each airbag assembly at least once, alternating between clockwise and counterclockwise directions, includes:

[0065] Identify the starting massage air bag, use it as the air bag to be inflated, and inflate it; then identify the new air bag to be inflated in a clockwise direction.

[0066] In response to the completion of the inflation operation of the air bag to be inflated, the air bag to be inflated after the inflation operation is completed is used as the air bag to be deflated for deflation operation, and at the same time, the new air bag to be inflated is inflated.

[0067] If the air bag to be inflated is in a pre-inflated state before the inflation operation, the air bag to be deflated will be in a pre-inflated state after the deflation operation is completed.

[0068] To facilitate understanding, the following will be combined with Figures 6B-6C This describes the process of inflating / deflating the massage air bags in each air bag assembly by alternating between clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Figure 6B The process of inflating / deflating the massage airbags in the left shoulder massage airbag assembly in a counter-clockwise alternating manner is shown. Figure 6C The process of inflating / deflating the massage airbags in the right shoulder massage airbag assembly in a clockwise alternating manner is shown.

[0069] like Figure 6B As shown, the process of inflating / deflating the massage airbags in the left shoulder massage airbag assembly by alternating counterclockwise rotation includes:

[0070] The initial massage air bag is designated as c1. Massage air bag c1 is then used as the air bag to be inflated, and inflation is performed on massage air bag c1 (e.g., ...). Figure 6B (As shown in "6-1"); Determine the new air bag to be inflated as c3 by rotating counterclockwise;

[0071] In response to the completion of the inflation operation of massage air bag c1, massage air bag c1 is deflated as an air bag to be deflated, while massage air bag c3 is inflated (e.g., Figure 6B (As shown in "6-2"); Determine the new air bag to be inflated as c2 in the counterclockwise direction; It should be noted that if the massage air bag c1 is in a pre-inflated state before the inflation operation is performed, it will still be in a pre-inflated state after the deflation operation is completed.

[0072] In response to the completion of the inflation operation of the massage air bag c3, ​​the massage air bag c3 is deflated as a deflated air bag, while the massage air bag c2 is inflated (e.g., Figure 6B (As shown in "6-3"); It should be noted that if the massage air bag c3 is in a pre-inflated state before the inflation operation, it will still be in a pre-inflated state after the deflation operation is completed.

[0073] like Figure 6C As shown, the process of inflating / deflating the massage airbags in the right shoulder massage airbag assembly, alternating clockwise, includes:

[0074] The initial massage airbag is designated as c4. Massage airbag c4 is then used as the airbag to be inflated, and inflation is performed on massage airbag c4 (e.g., Figure 6C (As shown in "64"); Determine the new air bag to be inflated as c5 by rotating clockwise;

[0075] In response to the completion of the inflation operation of massage air bag c4, massage air bag c4 is deflated as an air bag to be deflated, while massage air bag c5 is inflated (e.g., Figure 6C (As shown in "6-5"); Determine the new air bag to be inflated as c6 in a clockwise direction; It should be noted that if the massage air bag c4 is in a pre-inflated state before the inflation operation is performed, it will still be in a pre-inflated state after the deflation operation is completed.

[0076] In response to the completion of the inflation operation of massage air bag c5, the massage air bag c5 is deflated as a deflated air bag, while the massage air bag c6 is inflated (e.g., Figure 6C (As shown in "6-6"); It should be noted that if the massage air bag c5 is in a pre-inflated state before the inflation operation, it will still be in a pre-inflated state after the deflation operation is completed.

[0077] Optionally, embodiments of the present invention can perform inflation / deflation operations on the shoulder massage airbag assembly, waist massage airbag assembly, and leg massage airbag assembly through a preset control strategy, thereby realizing multiple massage modes, such as a first shoulder kneading mode, a second shoulder kneading mode, a first waist kneading mode, a second waist kneading mode, a first leg kneading mode, a second leg kneading mode, and a combined kneading mode (any two or three of the shoulder kneading mode, waist kneading mode, and leg kneading mode combined).

[0078] Optionally, embodiments of the present invention can control the massage intensity by controlling the inflation time. The massage intensity is positively correlated with the inflation time; the longer the inflation time, the stronger the massage intensity. For example, embodiments of the present invention can set three massage intensities: level one, level two, and level three. The inflation time for level three massage intensity is longer than that for level two massage intensity, and the inflation time for level two massage intensity is longer than that for level one massage intensity. The inflation time corresponding to each massage intensity level can be determined based on the size of the air bag and the performance of the air pump; this invention does not impose any limitations on this. As an optional example, the inflation time for level three massage intensity is 0.7 seconds, the inflation time for level two massage intensity is 0.6 seconds, and the inflation time for level two massage intensity is 0.5 seconds.

[0079] Optionally, the massage modes provided in this embodiment of the invention can be set with multiple massage intensities, or only one massage intensity. When each massage mode is set with multiple massage intensities, the inflation time for different massage modes at the same intensity can be the same or different. For example, the inflation time for a first shoulder kneading mode with an intensity of level one and a second shoulder kneading mode with an intensity of level one can be the same or different. As another example, the inflation time for a first shoulder kneading mode with an intensity of level one and a first leg kneading mode with an intensity of level one can be the same or different.

[0080] The various massage modes provided by the massage method of the present invention will be described below.

[0081] Optional, first shoulder kneading mode indicator:

[0082] Pre-inflate the shoulder support airbag and massage airbag in the left shoulder massage airbag assembly and the right shoulder massage airbag assembly, respectively.

[0083] Perform at least one inflation / deflation operation on the massage airbag in the left shoulder massage airbag assembly in a counter-clockwise direction, and at the same time, perform at least one inflation / deflation operation on the massage airbag in the right shoulder massage airbag assembly in a clockwise direction. Deflate the shoulder support airbag and massage airbag in both the left and right shoulder massage airbag assemblies so that they are in a deflated state.
