[0039] Such as Figures 1 to 11As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a neck and shoulder massage structure applicable to an automotive seat, which includes an up-and-down adjustment mechanism A, a massage action mechanism B, a PUR foam C, and a cover D. Among them, the up-and-down adjustment mechanism A is installed on a backrest frame (not shown) and is used to drive the massage action mechanism B to perform a lifting action along the Z direction. The massage action mechanism B includes a support plate 1, an adjustment plate 2, an adjustment airbag 3, and a massage airbag 4. Among them, the back surface of the support plate 1 is fixed on the up-and-down adjustment mechanism A, and two adjustment plates 2 are arranged on the front surface of the support plate 1 near the middle. The two adjustment plates 2 are symmetrically arranged and spaced apart by a certain distance. One end of the adjustment plate 2 close to the middle of the support plate 1 is rotatably connected to the support plate 1 through a rotating shaft 5. The adjustment airbag 3 is arranged between the support plate 1 and the adjustment plate 2 and is used to adjust the opening angle between the two adjustment plates 2. The massage airbag 4 is arranged on the top surface of the adjustment plate 2 and is used to massage the neck and shoulders.

[0040] The PUR foam C is arranged on the front surface of the massage action mechanism B, and the cover D is used to cover the PUR foam C and fix it on the massage action mechanism B.

[0041] Further, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, in this embodiment, the PUR foam C is in an arc structure and is arranged on the massage airbag 4. The cover D is installed on the two adjustment plates 2 and covers the PUR foam C.

[0042] Further, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, in this embodiment, an assembly part (not marked) is provided on the back surface of the support plate 1. Two height adjustment guide rods 6 are arranged on the assembly part. The lower ends of the two height adjustment guide rods 6 are arranged inside the backrest frame. The up-and-down adjustment mechanism A includes a driving motor 7 and a lifting lead screw 8 connected to the driving motor. The lifting lead screw 8 is arranged between the two height adjustment guide rods 6, and the upper end is fixedly connected to the support plate 1. The driving motor 8 drives the lifting lead screw 8 to perform a lifting action, thereby driving the massage action mechanism B to perform a lifting action.

[0043] The adjustment airbag 3 is fixed on the front surface of the support plate 1 by double-sided adhesive tape, and the massage airbag 4 is fixed on the front surface of the adjustment plate 2 by double-sided adhesive tape.

[0044] Further, as Figure 8 、 Figure 9 shown, in this embodiment, the adjustment airbag 3 is composed of n layers of first sub-airbags 31, where n is greater than 1. Adjacent first sub-airbags 31 are in a connected state, and the communication channel of the first sub-airbags 31 is arranged near the rotating shaft side. The massage airbag 4 is composed of m layers of second sub-airbags 41, where m is greater than 1. Adjacent second sub-airbags 41 are in a connected state, and the communication channel of the second sub-airbags 41 is arranged near the center of the second sub-airbags 41.

[0045] Specifically, the adjusting airbag 3 is composed of two layers of first sub-airbags 31, and the massage airbag 4 is composed of two layers of second sub-airbags 41.

[0046] Furthermore, as Figure 11 shown, in this embodiment, the support plate 1 and the adjusting plate 2 are both plastic plates. The support plate 1 has two functions. The first is to fix the position by fixing with the seat neck pillow, and the second is to play a certain supporting role to support the adjusting airbag 3 and ensure the lifting height of the adjusting airbag 3. The adjusting plate 2 can rotate relative to the support plate 1. The distance L1 between the two adjusting plates is controlled within 20 - 25 mm, preferably about 23.32 mm, and the distance L3 between the centers of the two rotating shafts 5 is controlled at about 31.32 mm. When neck and shoulder massage is required, the massage action mechanism B is adjusted to a suitable height through the up and down adjustment mechanism A, and then the opening angle of the adjusting plate 2 is arbitrarily changed according to the lifting height of the adjusting airbag 3 to adapt to different drivers and passengers. When the adjusting airbag 3 is not lifted and the massage airbag 4 is lifted, the center distance between the two opposite massage airbags 4 is controlled at about 80 mm, which is suitable for massaging the shoulders at this time. When the adjusting airbag 3 and the massage airbag 4 are lifted simultaneously, the center distance L2 between the two opposite massage airbags 4 is controlled at about 50 mm and forms an angle of 120°, which is suitable for massaging the neck at this time.

[0047] Furthermore, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, in this embodiment, the two height adjustment guide rods 6 extend to the upper end of the support plate 1, and a headrest (not shown) is installed at the upper ends of the two height adjustment guide rods 6. The headrest moves up and down synchronously with the massage action mechanism B.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first sub-airbag 31 and the second sub-airbag 41 are circular or oval or bone-shaped or petal-shaped. This application does not make any limitations on the specific shape and number of layers of the sub-airbag. Those skilled in the art can choose different shapes according to actual needs and control the number of layers of the first sub-airbag 31 and the second sub-airbag 41 and the overall lifting height.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first sub-airbag 31 at the bottom of the adjusting airbag 3 is connected to an air pump through a first air pipe, and the second sub-airbag 41 at the bottom of the massage airbag 4 is connected to the air pump through a second air pipe. Solenoid valves are provided on both the first air pipe and the second air pipe. When neck massage is required, the adjusting airbag 3 quickly lifts and maintains the internal pressure of the airbag. At this time, the adjusting airbag 3 plays a role of precharging. The massage airbag 4 is a massage airbag on an existing seat, and it does not need to have a pressure-holding function. It can massage in different modes and with different intensities according to the needs of passengers to meet the requirements of different passengers for neck and shoulder massage.

[0050] The present utility model also provides an automotive seat, on the backrest frame of which is installed the above-mentioned neck and shoulder massage structure applicable to automotive seats. The headrest of the automotive seat is installed at the upper ends of two height-adjusting guide rods. This neck and shoulder massage structure is reasonably designed and can be directly installed on the seat without modifying the existing seat structure, and it does not affect the assembly of the headrest. It has a wide application range and strong operability.

[0051] The above are the specific implementation manners of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
