Specific embodiments

[0029] The following further describes the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification, as shown in the figures:

[0030] The vehicle - used intelligent neck massage assembly 14 of the present utility model includes a first joint assembly 1, an intermediate massage device 2 and a second joint assembly 3;

[0031] One end of the intermediate massage device 2 is connected to the first joint assembly 1, and the other end of the intermediate massage device 2 is connected to the second joint assembly 3. In the non - use state, the neck massage assembly 14 forms a linear structure;

[0032] In the use state, both the first joint assembly 1 and the second joint assembly 3 can be bent, so that the neck massage assembly 14 forms a ring structure adapted to the neck contour, and the intermediate massage device 2 is used to massage the neck.

[0033] The vehicle - used intelligent neck massage assembly 14 of the present utility model is attached to the backrest of the seat. In the non - use state, it can form a linear structure, thus reducing the occupation of the vehicle interior space. While in the use state, it can be bent into a ring structure and fit the neck contour to achieve a better massage effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, the intermediate massage device 2 includes a first housing 4; an electric telescopic mechanism 5 is provided inside the first housing 4; massage heads 6 are provided at both ends of the electric telescopic mechanism 5. Among them, the electric telescopic mechanism 5 is a mechanical device that realizes length or position adjustment through an electric method. By driving a screw or gear with a motor, a telescopic component (such as a slider or a rod) moves linearly along a guide rail or a screw. The electric telescopic mechanism 5 can adopt existing electric lead screws or pneumatic cylinders, etc., which will not be elaborated here; the massage heads 6 can adopt existing solid soft plastics or soft plastics.

[0035] By setting the electric telescopic mechanism 5, the massage heads 6 at both ends can move relative to or towards each other, thereby achieving a massage effect.

[0036] In this embodiment, an infrared heating device 7 is provided around the electric telescopic mechanism 5. By setting the infrared heating device 7, it can promote blood circulation, relieve neck muscle tension and pain, enhance the massage effect, and provide a soothing and relaxing feeling, which can more effectively relax neck muscles and improve the overall massage experience.

[0037] In this embodiment, a position sensor is also provided inside the first housing 4, which is the position sensor I 8 as shown in the figure. Among them, in order to better integrate the position sensor I 8 into the first housing 4, a micro position sensor can be used. By setting the position sensor I 8, the detected neck contour position information can be sent to the vehicle controller. After the vehicle controller issues a seat back height adjustment signal and adjusts the seat back height, the intermediate massage device 2 can better align with the neck position, providing technical support for accurately judging the start timing of the massage.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first joint assembly 1 includes a number of first joint members connected in sequence; adjacent two first joint members are connected by a first rotating motor, and the rotating shaft of the first rotating motor is fixedly connected to one of the adjacent two first joint members; the first rotating motor is fixedly connected to the other of the adjacent two first joint members.

[0039] Among them, the first rotating motor is a device that generates a rotational motion through electric energy and can produce a rotating effect; the first rotating motor can adopt an existing stepper motor 9. When the rotating shaft of the stepper motor 9 rotates, a first joint member fixedly connected to the rotating shaft will move relative to the stepper motor 9.

[0040] By setting the first rotating motor, the joint members can rotate. When a number of adjacent joint members rotate in the same direction at the same time, the first joint assembly 1 can reach a bent state, thereby approaching the formation of a semi-circular structure, providing technical support for fitting the neck contour.

[0041] It should be noted that the first joint member adjacent to the intermediate massage device 2 in the first joint assembly 1 can also be connected to the intermediate massage device 2 through a rotating motor. The rotating motor is fixedly connected to the intermediate massage device 2, and the rotating shaft of the rotating motor is fixedly connected to the first joint member. Thus, when the rotating shaft of the rotating motor rotates, the first joint member also rotates accordingly.

[0042] During actual use, for Figure 1 the first joint assembly 1, starting from the intermediate massage device 2, the rotating motors are sequentially numbered d1, d2, and d3 from right to left; the rotating shaft of the rotating motor d1 fixedly connected to the intermediate massage device 2 rotates first. After the rotating motor d1 stops rotating, the rotating shaft of the rotating motor d2 rotates. After the rotating motor d2 stops rotating, the rotating shaft of the rotating motor d3 rotates next. Finally, the rotating motor d3 stops rotating.

[0043] In addition, the first joint member farthest from the intermediate massage device 2 in the first joint assembly 1 is used as the last first joint member. Since there is no other component in the tail part of the last first joint member, a hemming 11 can be provided at the tail part for decoration.

[0044] In this embodiment, several of the first joint members are provided with a first position sensor, such as the position sensor II 10 shown in the figure. By setting the position sensor II 10, the information on the detected distance from the neck contour position can be sent to the vehicle controller, so that after the first joint assembly 1 bends to a suitable position, the rotating motor stops rotating, thereby providing technical support for the neck massage assembly 14 to better fit the human neck contour.

[0045] In this embodiment, the second joint assembly 3 includes several second joint members connected in sequence; two adjacent second joint members are connected by a second rotating motor, and the rotating shaft of the second rotating motor is fixedly connected to one of the two adjacent second joint members; the second rotating motor is fixedly connected to the other of the two adjacent second joint members.

[0046] The second joint assembly 3 has the same structural principle as the first joint assembly 1 in the above embodiment, and the first joint member and the second joint member are also joint members with the same structure, as Figure 4 shown. The second rotating motor can also adopt the existing stepping motor 9, and its connection and working principle with the first rotating motor are the same, which will not be elaborated here.

[0047] By setting the second rotating motor, the second joint assembly 3 can finally reach a bent state, so as to approximately form another half-ring structure. By combining with the half-ring structure formed by the first joint assembly 1, a complete ring structure is formed, and thus it perfectly fits the neck contour.

[0048] In this embodiment, a plurality of the second joint members are provided with second position sensors. The setting and working principle of the second position sensors are the same as those of the first position sensors, which can further assist the vehicle controller to stop the rotation of the rotation motor after the second joint assembly 3 bends to a suitable position, thereby providing further technical support for the neck massage assembly 14 to better fit the contour of the human neck.

[0049] The present utility model also discloses a seat, which includes a seat cushion 12 and a liftable backrest 13; wherein, the backrest 13 can adopt an existing backrest with a liftable function; a vehicle intelligent neck massage assembly 14 as described in the above embodiment is provided in the area of the backrest 13 corresponding to the neck, and the vehicle intelligent neck massage assembly 14 is attached to the backrest 13 of the seat.

[0050] For a better understanding of the vehicle intelligent neck massage assembly of the present utility model, the use of the neck massage assembly is described as follows:

[0051] Conditions for the seat to enter the massage mode: A. The vehicle is in a stationary state and the gear is in the P gear. B. There is someone on the seat. C. The seat belt buckle is not plugged in. Then the seat can enter the neck massage state, otherwise it will not enter the massage mode if any of the three conditions is missing.

[0052] When the driver or passenger sits on the seat and wants to enter the neck massage mode, when the head moves backward close to the backrest, press the button near the seat cushion or send a voice command for massage to the vehicle voice control system. The voice control system will issue an inquiry. After answering, the position sensor of the middle massage device starts to detect the position of the human neck, thereby appropriately adjusting the height of the seat backrest;

[0053] After the seat backrest stops moving, the rotation motor in the joint assembly starts to move, and the joint assembly starts to approach the neck. The position sensor in the joint member can detect the position from the neck and transmit the position signal to the vehicle controller. After reaching a suitable position, the rotation motor stops moving. At this time, the neck massage assembly surrounds the neck; the vehicle controller issues an instruction to adjust the distance between the massage heads. After receiving the instruction, the electric telescopic mechanism of the middle massage device starts to adjust the lateral distance between the massage heads to align the massage heads with the massage part; after the positions of the massage heads are adjusted, the massage starts, and an inquiry about whether to perform physical therapy is issued. After answering, the infrared heating instrument turns on the physical therapy effect;

[0054] Termination of massage and physical therapy can be controlled by voice, or by touching the button on the joint or the button near the seat cushion to stop the massage and physical therapy. After the button is pressed, the joint assembly starts to open. After the joint assembly opens, the seat backrest automatically returns to the state before massage; when the vehicle is shifted or the seat belt buckle is fastened, the massage will be terminated, and the joint assembly and the seat backrest will return to the original state.

[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention.
