In addition, the embodiments of the present application involve the terms "first", "second", etc., which are only used for convenience of description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] Next, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail.

[0032] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the air bag control assembly provided by the present application comprises an air bag control box 10, a damping assembly 20 and a mounting plate 30. The air bag control box 10 is used to control the massage air bag in furniture, the mounting plate 30 is used to mount the air bag control assembly to the furniture, and the damping assembly 20 is used to play a damping role when the air bag control box 10 works.

[0033] As shown, Figure 3 The air bag control box 10 comprises a shell 11, an air pump 12, an air tank 13, a chip circuit board 14, an air pipe 15 and an electromagnetic valve 16. The shell 11 forms a receiving cavity, the air pump 12, the air tank 13, the chip circuit board 14 and the electromagnetic valve 16 are all accommodated in the shell 11, and the air pipe 15 extends out of the shell 11 from the shell 11.

[0034] The air pump 12 is responsible for driving the air bag to inflate and deflate by air flow, thereby realizing the massage function. The air tank 13 is connected with the air pump 12 and the air pipe 15 respectively, and is used to store compressed air, so as to quickly supply air when needed, and ensure that the air bag can be inflated instantly to provide a smooth massage experience.

[0035] The chip circuit board 14 is used to receive instructions from user input or feedback information from sensors, control the work of the air bag control box 10, and accurately adjust the inflation and exhaust process of the air bag. The air pipe 15 is connected with the air bag, and is used to transmit gas to the air bag. The electromagnetic valve 16 is arranged on the air pipe 15, and is used to control the air intake and exhaust volume of the air pipe 15.

[0036] As shown, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The damping assembly 20 comprises a flexible mounting piece 21 arranged outside the shell 11. The flexible mounting piece 21 is connected with the shell 11 and the mounting plate 30 respectively, and the air bag control box 10 is suspended on the mounting plate 30 through the flexible mounting piece 21.

[0037] The flexible mounting piece 21 comprises a buffer part 211, a first connecting part 212 and a second connecting part 213, and the first connecting part 212 and the second connecting part 213 are respectively located at both ends of the buffer part 211. The shell 11 is clamped with the first connecting part 212, and the mounting plate 30 is clamped with the second connecting part 213.

[0038] A first mounting hole 114 is formed on the shell 11 and matched with the clamping of the flexible mounting piece 21, the first connecting part 212 extends into the first mounting hole 114, and the clamping of the flexible mounting piece 21 and the shell 11 is realized. A second mounting hole 31 is formed on the mounting plate 30 and matched with the clamping of the flexible mounting piece 21, the second connecting part 213 extends into the second mounting hole 31, and the clamping of the flexible mounting piece 21 and the mounting plate 30 is realized.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first connecting portion 212 and the second connecting portion 213 include a guiding portion 214 and a snap-fit ​​portion 215, with the snap-fit ​​portion 215 connecting between the guiding portion 214 and the buffer portion 211. The guiding portion 214 is approximately tapered, and its diameter gradually decreases from the side closer to the snap-fit ​​portion 215 to the side farther away from it. The maximum diameter of both the guiding portion 214 and the buffer portion 211 is greater than the diameter of the first mounting hole 114 and the second mounting hole 31, while the diameter of the snap-fit ​​portion 215 is less than or equal to the diameter of the first mounting hole 114 and the second mounting hole 31. The snap-fit ​​portion 215, together with the buffer portion 211 and the guiding portion 214, forms a snap-fit ​​groove 216.

[0040] Thus, during the installation of the airbag control assembly, the first connecting part 212 and the second connecting part 213 pass through the first mounting hole 114 and the second mounting hole 31, respectively. Guided by the guide part 214, the first mounting hole 114 and the second mounting hole 31 gradually move towards the side closer to the buffer part 211. Since the flexible mounting part 21 is made of flexible material, the guide part 214 will be squeezed and completely pass through the first mounting hole 114 and the second mounting hole 31, locking the housing 11 and the mounting plate 30 in the snap-fit ​​groove 216, thereby fixing the airbag control box 10, the flexible mounting part 21, and the mounting plate 30.

[0041] Furthermore, the housing 11 includes a snap-fit ​​top shell 111 and a bottom shell 112. At least one of the top shell 111 and the bottom shell 112 is provided with an outwardly protruding mounting platform 113, and the mounting platform 113 is provided with a first mounting hole 114 that engages with the flexible mounting member 21.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting platform 113 extends from the housing 11 to the left and right sides. The first connecting portion 212 passes through the mounting platform 113 of the bottom housing 112 to fix the flexible mounting member 21 to the housing 11. In some cases, the first connecting portion 212 may also pass through the mounting platform 113 of the top housing 111, or pass through the mounting platforms 113 of both the top housing 111 and the bottom housing 112 to fix the flexible mounting member 21 to the housing 11.

[0043] In this embodiment, the flexible mounting component 21 is made of rubber, which has excellent flexibility, elasticity, and cushioning properties. It can effectively absorb vibration and impact, significantly improving the comfort of furniture use. Furthermore, it has good high-temperature resistance, low-temperature resistance, and fatigue resistance, enabling it to adapt to varying environmental temperatures and resist cracking or deformation under repeated and prolonged use.

[0044] The air bag control box 10 is suspended on the mounting plate 30 through the flexible mounting member 21 connecting the air bag control box 10 and the mounting plate 30. The elastic deformation and damping characteristics of the flexible mounting member 21 convert a part of vibration energy into heat energy consumption, thereby absorbing and offsetting the vibration generated by the air bag control box 10 during operation, effectively preventing the vibration of the air bag control box 10 from being transmitted to the furniture, allowing the user to enjoy the massage service without feeling the additional vibration interference, and improving the use comfort of the furniture.

[0045] Further, the damping assembly 20 further comprises a damping pad, a buffer layer and a filling member arranged in the housing 11. The damping pad is located between the housing 11 and the air pump 12, and the air pump 12 is fixed in the housing 11 through the damping pad. The damping pad is made of rubber material and has certain elasticity and damping characteristics, which can effectively absorb the vibration generated by the air pump 12 during operation.

[0046] The buffer layer is arranged outside the air pump 12, and is filled with gas, which is connected to the air bag massage assembly in the furniture through an independent small air path, and is provided with a small air pressure regulating valve, which reduces the outward transmission of the vibration of the air pump 12 through the gas. The filling member is made of sound-absorbing and vibration-reducing material (such as polyurethane foam), which is filled in the housing 11, and is used to further reduce the propagation of vibration inside the air bag control box 10 and the transmission to the housing 11, and to reduce the noise generated by the vibration.

[0047] The damping assembly 20 of the present application comprises the flexible mounting member 21 arranged outside the housing and the damping pad, the buffer layer and the filling member arranged in the housing 11, which maximally reduces the influence of the vibration of the air bag control box 10 on the overall comfort of the furniture from multiple levels inside and outside, ensures that the air bag control assembly can provide stable and reliable damping effect when facing the daily sitting and lying of the human body and various external pressure changes, reduces the damage to the internal structure caused by frequent stress, and improves the reliability and stability.

[0048] As shown in Figure 5 The mounting plate 30 is in a strip shape, and is provided with a second mounting hole 31 and a fixing hole 32. The second mounting hole 31 cooperates with the second connecting part 213 to realize the clamping of the mounting plate 30 and the flexible mounting member 21, and the fixing hole 32 is used to fix the air bag control assembly.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1The number of the mounting plates 30 of the present application is two, and the shell 11 is cuboid, and the two mounting plates 30 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the shell 11. Each mounting plate 30 is provided with at least two second mounting holes 31, and the two second mounting holes 31 are respectively arranged near the two ends in the length direction of the mounting plate 30. The number of the second mounting holes 31 is four in total, and correspondingly, the number of the flexible mounting members 21 and the first mounting holes 114 is also four. In this way, the four corners of the air bag control box 10 are connected with the mounting plate 30 through the flexible mounting member 21, and the overall mounting structure is more stable.

[0050] In the present application, the number of the fixing holes 32 on each mounting plate 30 is several. The several fixing holes 32 are arranged along the length direction of the mounting plate 30. When the air bag control assembly is fixed with the furniture through the mounting plate 30, the fixing hole 32 matched with the furniture can be selected flexibly according to the different styles and sizes of the furniture. Moreover, the fixing hole 32 can also realize the fixation of other modules to expand the function of the furniture. The several fixing holes 32 can also be arranged in other forms, such as rectangular distribution, irregular distribution. The sizes of the different fixing holes 32 can also be different.

[0051] By arranging the several fixing holes 32 on the mounting plate 30, the flexible customized layout of the air bag control assembly on the furniture can be realized, and the air bag control assembly of the present application has good universality, adaptability and expandability, which can meet the individualized needs of different furniture.

[0052] The material of the mounting plate 30 is metal, which has high strength and rigidity, and ensures the reliability and stability of the installation of the air bag control assembly.

[0053] As shown in Figure 6 The present application also provides a furniture, which comprises a support beam 40 and the air bag control assembly as described above. The furniture of the present application can be a sofa, a soft bed or the like with air bag massage. The air bag control assembly is installed on the support beam 40 through the mounting plate 30. In the embodiment, the support beam 40 comprises a first support beam 41 and a second support beam 42 arranged in parallel, and the upper and lower sides of the air bag control assembly are respectively fixed with the first support beam 41 and the second support beam 42.

[0054] Specifically, the mounting plate 30 is fixed with the support beam 40 through a fastener 50, and the fastener 50 is a bolt. The upper and lower ends of each mounting plate 30 are respectively fixed with the first support beam 41 and the second support beam 42 through one fastener 50. In some cases, the mounting plate 30 and the support beam 40 can also be fixed by other ways, such as gluing.

[0055] The air bag control assembly and the furniture of the present application are provided with the damping assembly 20 and the mounting plate 30, the flexible mounting pieces 21 are respectively connected with the shell 11 of the air bag control box 10 and the mounting plate 30, and the air bag control box 10 is suspended on the mounting plate 30 through the flexible mounting pieces 21.
