[0002] Cars are a commonly used means of transportation. In order to avoid lumbar muscle strain or lumbar spine disease caused by long-term driving or sitting in a car, people usually choose products such as car lumbar supports to protect their waists.

[0003] A general lumbar support uses pneumatic massage. A solenoid valve is required to inflate or deflate the air bag or airbag. The solenoid valve needs to be switched for inflation or exhaust. Generally, two sets of solenoid valves are used for switching. One set of solenoid valves provides exhaust, and the other set of solenoid valves provides inflation. The two sets of solenoid valves will take up more installation area, making it impossible for the air bag or airbag to provide multiple air bags or airbags to provide multi-directional massage when inflating or deflation, thereby reducing the massage effect. At the same time, multiple sets of solenoid valves will also cause more airflow during inflation and exhaust, which will generate noise and affect the user experience. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, when a device is said to "include" a certain component, unless otherwise stated, this does not exclude the inclusion of other components but rather implies that the device may include other components.

[0035] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 2 , further details of this application are given.

[0036] The embodiment of the present application discloses a pneumatic solenoid valve.

[0037] A pneumatic solenoid valve is mainly used in automobile massage seats to provide pneumatic massage. The solenoid valve is used to inflate or exhaust the air bag to achieve a massage effect.

[0038] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a frame 1, a nozzle group 2, a fixed iron core 3, a movable inner core 4, a coil 5, a first silencer 6 and a second silencer 7; the nozzle group 2 is installed on the outer wall of the frame 1, and the fixed iron core 3 is installed on the inner wall of the frame 1. The frame 1 is cylindrical and an installation cavity is formed inside. The fixed iron core 3 is fixedly installed in the frame 1 and closes one of the outlets of the installation cavity of the frame 1.

[0039] The solenoid valve of the present application adopts a three-way solenoid valve structure, so the nozzle group 2 is provided with three nozzles, namely the first nozzle 21, the second nozzle 22 and the third nozzle 23, which correspond to the first nozzle 21 for air inlet, the second nozzle 22 and the third nozzle 23 for air outlet, respectively. The external massage air bag or airbag is connected to the second nozzle 22, and the third nozzle 23 is used to discharge the gas in the massage air bag or airbag.

[0040] The coil 5 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed iron core 3 and is energized. After being energized, the coil 5 cooperates with the fixed iron core 3 to form an electromagnetic attraction, which can produce a magnetic adsorption effect.

[0041] refer to Figure 2 As shown, a first channel 11 and a second channel 12 are opened in the frame 1, the first channel 11 is connected to the first air nozzle 21, and the second channel 12 is connected to the second air nozzle 22. The first air nozzle 21 conveys the airflow to the first channel 11, and then the first channel 11 conveys the airflow to the second channel 12 or the third channel 31. The second channel 12 is connected to the second air nozzle 22, so that when the second airflow enters the second channel 12, the massage air bag or airbag can be inflated through the second air nozzle 22.

[0042] The movable inner core 4 is slidingly connected to the frame 1 and magnetically connected to the fixed iron core 3. The movable inner core 4 can be made of iron alloy or magnetic material with electromagnetic adsorption. When the fixed iron core 3 and the coil 5 are energized, the movable inner core 4 is affected by the magnetic adsorption force and can move along the installation cavity in the frame 1 toward the fixed iron core 3.

[0043] The channel opening of the second channel 12 fits with the end of the movable inner core 4, so that when the movable inner core 4 slides along the installation cavity in the frame 1, the movable inner core 4 opens the second channel 12 and the first channel 11. At the same time, after the movable inner core 4 contacts the fixed iron core 3, the third air nozzle 23 is closed, and the first air nozzle 21 can then transport the airflow through the first channel 11 to the second channel 12.

[0044] refer to Figure 2As shown, a third channel 31 connected to the third air nozzle 23 is opened in the fixed iron core 3, and the third channel 31 is connected to the second channel 12. After the movable inner core 4 contacts the fixed iron core 3, the connection point between the third channel 31 and the first channel 11 is closed, so that the first channel 11 is connected to the second channel 12.

[0045] A first silencer 6 is provided in the second air nozzle 22, and a second silencer 7 is provided in the third air nozzle 23. Both the first silencer 6 and the second silencer 7 can be made of silencer cotton, which has the function of breathability and silence. When the air flow passes through the first silencer 6 and the second silencer 7, the air flow penetrates the first silencer 6 and the second silencer 7, and at the same time reduces the noise generated by the flow and the noise generated by the excessively fast air flow when flowing in the solenoid valve. Specifically, during the massage process, the noise generated can be reduced from 50 decibels to 35 decibels.

[0046] Specifically, when the coil 5 is energized, it cooperates with the fixed iron core 3 to form an adsorbent magnetic force, causing the movable inner core 4 to slide along the frame 1 under the influence of the magnetic force until it contacts the fixed iron core 3, closing the connection point of the third channel 31 or the second channel 12. The first air nozzle 21 is connected to the air pump, so that the air flow flows from the first channel 11. Since the third channel 31 is blocked by the fixed inner core, the air flow flows from the first channel 11 to the second channel 12. The second air nozzle 22 outside the second channel 12 is connected to a massage airbag, which is inflated to achieve massage. Subsequently, the airbag needs to be frequently inflated and deflated to ensure massage efficiency. At this time, the power of the coil 5 is disconnected, and the movable inner core 4 loses its magnetic force. Under the action of gravity, it can move along the frame 1 and separate from the fixed iron core 3;

[0047] At the same time, the movable inner core 4 moves to the connection point of the first channel 11 and the second channel 12, so that the first channel 11 and the second channel 12 are closed, and the second channel 12 and the third channel 31 are opened. The gas inside the massage airbag can enter the third channel 31 from the second channel 12 and be discharged from the third air nozzle 23, completing the air circulation required for massage. During the air circulation process, the third air nozzle 23 and the second air nozzle 22 are respectively provided with a first silencer 6 and a second silencer 7, so that the noise generated during the air circulation is reduced, thereby improving the comfortable experience during massage.

[0048] For further reference, Figure 2 As shown, both ends of the movable inner core 4 are provided with mounting grooves 41, and pads 42 are provided in the mounting grooves 41. The pads 42 can be rubber pads 42 or plastic pads 42, which have sealing properties. When the movable inner core 4 moves along the inside of the frame 1, it drives the pads 42 to move, closing the connection between the first channel 11 and the second channel 12, or closing the connection between the second channel 12 and the third channel 31. The pads 42 are used for closing, which can increase air tightness and reduce air leakage or the situation where it cannot be fully closed.

[0049] Further, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the gasket 42 is in the shape of a truncated cone and is provided with a semicircular protrusion. The inclination direction of the semicircular protrusion of the truncated cone is toward the connection point between the first channel 11 and the second channel 12 or the connection point between the third channel 31 and the second channel 12, so that when the gasket 42 contacts the two connection points, it can provide a more fitting seal.

[0050] Among them, the groove of the installation groove 41 is provided with a chamfer for limiting. The chamfer is combined with the semicircular protrusion to prevent the pad 42 from separating from the installation groove 41. It is used to provide limiting during the reciprocating inflation and exhaust process to prevent the pad 42 from separating from the installation groove 41.

[0051] Further, refer to Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, an outer frame 8 is provided outside the frame 1. The outer frame 8 is in the shape of two sets of U-shaped frames, and the inner diameter matches the outer diameter of the coil 5, so that one end of the outer frame 8 can be inserted into the surface of the frame 1, and the other end can be inserted into the surface of the coil 5, thereby making the connection between the coil 5 and the frame 1 more stable.

[0052] A PIN card pin may also be provided on the frame 1 to disconnect the power supply to the fixed core 3 and the coil 5, thereby ensuring that the fixed core 3 and the coil 5 are not energized when not in use.

[0053] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 As shown, a connecting cavity 32 is provided in the third channel 31, and a reset portion 33 is provided in the connecting cavity 32. The reset portion 33 is connected to the pad 42. When the coil 5 is not energized, the fixed iron core 3 loses its adsorption force. Therefore, if the solenoid valve is not installed vertically, the movable inner core 4 cannot be affected by gravity and move along the frame 1 to close the connection point between the second channel 12 and the first channel 11. Therefore, a connecting cavity 32 is provided in the third channel 31.

[0054] A reset portion 33 is provided in the connecting cavity 32. The reset portion 33 may adopt a reset spring. The reset spring provides an elastic force to push the movable inner core 4 to move, but the magnitude of the elastic force is smaller than the magnetic force between the movable inner core 4 and the fixed iron core 3. Therefore, when the movable inner core 4 is affected by the magnetic force, it can overcome the influence of the elastic force and make the pad 42 of the movable inner core 4 fit with the fixed iron core 3. When the magnetic force is lost, the reset portion 33 generates an elastic force to push the pad 42 and the movable inner core 4 toward the connection point between the first channel 11 and the second channel 12, so that the pad 42 at the other end of the movable inner core 4 presses against the connection point between the first channel 11 and the second channel 12.

[0055] The reset portion 33 is provided to improve the adaptability of the installation, and the air outlet can be switched without vertically installing the solenoid valve.

[0056] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1As shown, a sealing ring 24 is further provided at the nozzle group 2. The sealing ring 24 can provide air tightness during gas transmission, thereby reducing gas leakage during gas transmission. The nozzle group 2 is provided with a first nozzle 21, a second nozzle 22 and a third nozzle 23. Therefore, at least one sealing ring 24 can be set, and when one is set, it needs to be set at the first nozzle 21. The second nozzle 22 and the third nozzle 23 are mainly used for exhaust, so the sealing ring 24 may not be set, but it is preferred to set a sealing ring 24.

[0057] For further reference, Figure 1 As shown, an outer cover 25 is further provided at the nozzle group 2, and the outer cover 25 fixes the sealing ring 24 to the nozzle. The outer cover 25 is used to tighten the sealing ring 24, so that the sealing performance of the sealing ring 24 is increased. The specific connection method can be a screw connection. An external thread is provided at the nozzle where the sealing ring 24 is required to be provided, and an internal thread is provided on the outer cover 25. The sealing ring 24 is located inside the outer cover 25, so that when the outer cover 25 and the nozzle are screwed together, the sealing ring 24 can be firmly installed at the nozzle.

[0058] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 As shown, a snap-in groove 13 is provided in the second channel 12 and the third channel 31, and the first silencer 6 and the second silencer 7 are provided with a snap-in protrusion, which is located in the snap-in groove 13, so that the first silencer 6 and the second silencer 7 cannot be separated from the snap-in groove 13, so that during the reciprocating inflation and exhaust process, the first silencer 6 and the second silencer 7 are constantly affected by the two air pressures and can provide a stable silencer effect.

[0059] The examples of this specific embodiment are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be included in the scope of protection of this application.
