[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5The flexible lumbar support cushion with a pressure dispersion structure shown includes a cushion body 1, which is divided into a cushion portion 101, a lumbar support portion 102, and a backrest portion 103. A first soft pad 2 is installed on the top of the cushion portion 101. A first cavity 201, a second cavity 202, and a third cavity 203 are sequentially provided on the first soft pad 2.

Pressure sensors 5 are symmetrically arranged on the front side of the cushion portion 101, and a second soft pad 6 is installed on the front side of the backrest portion 103. The first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 are filled with cotton fabric, and the third cavity 203 is filled with gas. The sealing element 4 includes: a valve cylinder 402 installed on the air inlet 3 through a first sealing ring 401; a fixing plate 403 is provided on the right side of the valve cylinder 402; and a fixing rod 40 is provided on the left side of the fixing plate 403. A conical block 405 is slidably installed, and a first spring 406 is connected between the conical block 405 and the fixed plate 403; a conical groove 7 is opened on the left side of the valve cylinder 402, the conical block 405 is located in the conical groove 7, and a second sealing ring 8 is provided on the conical block 405 at the position in the conical groove 7; multiple ventilation grooves 9 are opened on the side of the fixed plate 403; a second spring is connected in the first soft pad 2 at the position above the pressure sensor 5; it also includes a first pressure regulating component 11 or a second pressure regulating component 12 that cooperates with the valve cylinder 402. The first pressure regulating component 11 includes: a cap 112 installed on the outer right side of the valve cylinder 402 through a thread 111; heat dissipation holes 13 are symmetrically opened on the waist support 102, and reinforcing ribs 14 are symmetrically provided on the rear side of the waist support 102; a carrying hole 15 is opened between the backrest 103 and the second soft pad 6.

[0027] This invention effectively disperses pressure in different areas by providing a first cavity 201 and a second cavity 202 filled with cotton fabric, and a third cavity 203 filled with gas in the seat cushion 101. When the user sits down, the third cavity 203 cushions and disperses pressure on the thighs under the elastic action of the gas, reducing local pressure concentration and alleviating discomfort caused by prolonged sitting. It also effectively prevents problems such as poor blood circulation and nerve compression caused by excessive pressure. The seat cushion 101 in this invention is symmetrically equipped with pressure sensors 5 on the front side, which can detect the pressure data brought by the user and transmit it to a mobile terminal for calculation.

The first pressure regulating component 11 and the second pressure regulating component 12 adjust the amount of gas filling in the airbag, realizing the pressure adjustment required by different user groups, meeting personalized needs, and enabling the seat cushion to better adapt to users with different body types and sitting habits, providing a more comfortable user experience; the lumbar support part 102 in this utility model is symmetrically provided with reinforcing ribs 14 on the rear side, which can effectively prevent the seat cushion from deforming or being damaged due to long-term weight-bearing, and enhance the structural stability and durability of the seat cushion; the design of the sealing component 4 in this utility model ensures the airtightness of the gas in the airbag, avoids gas leakage, ensures the pressure dispersion effect during long-term use of the seat cushion, and extends the service life of the product.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 The flexible lumbar support cushion with a pressure-dispersing structure shown includes a cushion body 1, which, from bottom to top, comprises a seat cushion portion 101, a lumbar support portion 102, and a backrest portion 103. These three components are integrally injection molded to provide support for the human body. The seat cushion portion 101 supports the thighs and part of the buttocks, the lumbar support portion 102 supports the buttocks and part of the lumbar spine, and the backrest portion 103 supports the back. In addition, multiple reinforcing ribs 14 are vertically and symmetrically arranged on the rear side of the lumbar support portion 102. Considering that the lumbar support portion 102 is the main support point when the body is seated, adding reinforcing ribs 14 on its rear side can effectively prevent the cushion from deforming or being damaged due to prolonged weight-bearing. It also helps the lumbar support portion 102 better conform to the curve of the human waist, reducing pressure and discomfort in the lower back when seated, thus helping to improve posture and reduce the burden on the lumbar spine.

[0030] The side of the seat cushion body 1 is rounded and curved in an L shape. When sitting down, the user's thighs, buttocks and waist can fit closely with the seat cushion body 1. At the same time, the backrest 102 is recessed to fix the buttocks and legs and to contract the pelvis to keep the ischial bones upright. In addition, the left and right sides of the seat cushion 101 are raised and have an arc shape to wrap the buttocks and thighs. The seat cushion 101 extends inward and bulges upward to separate the two thighs and prevent the user from developing bad sitting postures such as crossing their legs.

[0031] The shape of the seat cushion body 1 is designed to fit closely to the user, relieving the pressure of prolonged sitting and gradually cultivating good posture. In addition, a first soft cushion 2 and a second soft cushion 6 are provided. The first soft cushion 2 is installed on the top of the seat cushion part 101, and the second soft cushion 6 is installed on the front side of the backrest part 103. When the user sits down, the first soft cushion 2 and the second soft cushion 6 will come into contact with the thighs and back, and will take shape when pressure is applied, thus better conforming to the user's body contours.

[0032] The first soft pad 2 and the second soft pad 6 can be filled with various materials, including but not limited to sponges wrapped in elastic mesh, airbags, gels, cotton fabrics and other soft and elastic materials.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] like Figures 1 to 5The flexible lumbar support cushion with a pressure dispersion structure shown includes a cushion body 1. The cushion body 1 specifically includes a seat cushion portion 101, a lumbar support portion 102, and a backrest portion 103 from bottom to top. It is also provided with a first soft pad 2 and a second soft pad 6. The first soft pad 2 is installed on the top of the seat cushion portion 101, and the second soft pad 6 is installed on the front side of the backrest portion 103. That is, after the user sits down, the first soft pad 2 and the second soft pad 6 will come into contact with the thighs and back, and will take shape when pressure is received, so as to better conform to the user's body contour.

[0035] The first soft cushion 2 has a first cavity 201 located closest to the lumbar support 102. The first cavity 201 extends forward in sequence to install the second cavity 202 and the third cavity 203. The three cavities gradually enclose each other, and two channels are formed between the three cavities, which can be used for heat transfer when the human body sits down, keeping the body cool after sitting for a long time. The same design is also presented on the second soft cushion 6, which will not be elaborated on here.

[0036] In this embodiment, to effectively distribute pressure for most users, the first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 are filled with cotton fabric, while the third cavity 203 is an air-filled bladder. An inflation port 3 is located on the right side of the third cavity 203, allowing adjustment of the amount of gas filling the third cavity 203. It is known that when a person sits down, the thighs contain numerous blood vessels and nerves. Prolonged contact with the seat can cause pressure buildup in the thighs, which may affect blood circulation and nerve conduction, leading to discomfort.

[0037] Continuing from above, the third chamber 203 is a gas-filled airbag, and an inflation port 3 is provided on the right side of the third chamber 203. The airbag is filled through the inflation port 3 at the factory. A sealing element 4 is provided inside the inflation port 3, which seals the inflation port 3, i.e., the gas-filled airbag, ensuring that the gas in the airbag does not leak and guaranteeing the inflation volume. Specifically, the sealing element 4 includes:

[0038] The inflation port 3 is fitted with a valve cylinder 402 via a first sealing ring 401. It is understood that after the valve cylinder 402 is installed via injection molding, glue, or other methods, the inflation port 3 further seals the valve cylinder 402 by adding a first sealing ring 401 to prevent gas leakage through the valve cylinder 402. A fixing plate 403 is located on the inner right side of the valve cylinder 402. Specifically, the fixing plate 403 is a plate-shaped structure with three ventilation slots 9 on its outer side. The fixing plate 403 is fixedly installed on the inner right side of the valve cylinder 402. Simultaneously, a conical block 405 is slidably mounted on the left side of the fixing plate 403 via a fixing rod 404. That is, the conical block 405 can slide on the left side of the fixing plate 403 and interact with the fixing plate 403. The spring connecting the valve cylinder 402 is reset. It should be noted that the valve cylinder 402 is divided into two areas. The right side of the inner wall of the valve cylinder 402 is cylindrical, while the left side is conical, forming a conical groove 7. The conical groove 7 is connected to the right side of the inner wall of the valve cylinder 402, and the conical block 405 is located in the conical groove 7. That is, the conical block 405 can move left and right in the conical groove 7 under the action of the spring. Specifically, when the conical block 405 moves to the left, it no longer blocks the connecting hole between the conical groove 7 and the valve cylinder 402, and the entire valve cylinder 402 is in an open state. At this time, the spring is compressed. When the conical block 405 moves to the right under the reset force of the spring, it blocks the connecting hole again, and the valve cylinder 402 is in a closed state.

[0039] Therefore, after the installation of the seal 4, the gas filled into the airbag will no longer leak out. This means that after the airbag is compressed, the gas will gather at the inflation port 3 and exert force outward, pushing the cone block 405 to the right within the valve cylinder 402, further strengthening the closure of the valve cylinder 402 and preventing gas leakage. Considering that there will still be gaps after the hard materials come into contact with each other, a second sealing ring 8 is also provided on the cone block 405 at the position within the cone groove 7. The second sealing ring 8 strengthens the sealing of the connecting hole, preventing the airbag from leaking when the human body applies pressure to the airbag while using the seat cushion body 1, thus losing the effect of dispersing pressure.

[0040] Example 4

[0041] like Figures 1 to 5 The flexible lumbar support cushion with a pressure dispersion structure shown also includes a first pressure regulating component 11 or a second pressure regulating component 12 that cooperates with the valve cylinder 402. The first pressure regulating component 11 is used for secondary sealing of the valve cylinder 402, while the second pressure regulating component 12 is used for opening and regulating the pressure of the valve cylinder 402. Simply put, the user can open the valve cylinder 402 through the second pressure regulating component 12 to adjust the amount of gas filling in the airbag, thereby achieving pressure adjustment required by different user groups.

[0042] Pressure sensors 5 are symmetrically arranged on the front side of the seat cushion 101. The pressure sensors 5 are all located below the first soft cushion 2, specifically in the recess on the front side of the seat cushion 101, that is, where the user's two thighs are placed after sitting down. At the same time, a second spring (not shown in the figure) is connected in the third cavity 203 above the pressure sensors 5. After the user sits down, the thighs will directly squeeze the third cavity 203, and the pressure will be transmitted to the pressure sensors 5 through the second spring. The pressure sensors 5 detect the pressure data brought by the user and transmit it to the mobile terminal for calculation.

[0043] Understandably, users with different weights and body fat percentages require different levels of pressure relief for their thighs. However, the inflation volume of the seat cushion 1 is fixed at the factory. For different users' needs, over-inflation of the airbag will increase the firmness of the seat cushion, resulting in greater discomfort. On the other hand, if the air pressure in the airbag is too low, the support of the seat cushion 101 will be insufficient and will not be able to effectively support the user's thighs. Furthermore, an overly soft airbag will cause uneven distribution of force in the user's thigh muscles, which will increase local pressure. Therefore, users need to perform a test and adaptation when they sit down for the first time, calculate the pressure state required by the user, and then adjust the airbag to an appropriate inflation volume.

[0044] In most states, the first pressure regulating component 11 is installed on the right side of the valve cylinder 402 to achieve secondary sealing of the valve cylinder 402 and prevent gas leakage. Specifically, a cap 112 is installed on the outer right side wall of the valve cylinder 402 via a thread 111. That is, the outer right side of the valve cylinder 402 has a thread 111, and under normal conditions, the valve cylinder 402 can be sealed secondary by rotating the cap 112. When pressure regulation is required, the first pressure regulating component 11 needs to be removed and the second pressure regulating component 12 needs to be installed. The second pressure regulating component 12 has the same shape as the cap 112, but its inner wall is equipped with a third rubber ring. The third rubber ring is inclined, meaning that the second pressure regulating component 12 is fixed to each other only by the engagement of the rubber ring and the thread 111. Furthermore, a pushing block is provided on the left side of the inner wall of the second pressure regulating component 12. The pushing block cooperates with the three ventilation slots 9 of the fixing plate 403. When the second pressure regulating component 12 is installed on the valve... When the valve cylinder 402 is on the right side, the cone block 405 is pushed to the left through the ventilation slot 9, opening the valve cylinder 402. At this time, the first spring 406 is compressed. The second pressure regulating component 12 is also connected to an air regulating pipe through a through hole on its right side. The other side of the air regulating pipe is connected to the fan. That is, after the second pressure regulating component 12 is installed, it will open the valve cylinder 402. At this time, the air bag is opened. The user selects the operating mode of the fan according to the pressure regulation needs. Blowing air is achieved by inflating the air bag through the air regulating pipe, and inhaling air is achieved by deflating the air bag through the air regulating pipe. In this way, the adjustment of the third chamber 203 is completed, so as to achieve pressure distribution and adaptation for different users when they sit down.

[0045] After adjustment, pull out the second pressure regulating component 12. The conical block 405 will no longer be squeezed and will move to the right under the restoring force of the first spring 406 to close the valve cylinder 402. Then tighten the first pressure regulating component 11 to complete the secondary sealing of the valve cylinder 402.

[0046] Example 5

[0047] like Figures 1 to 5 The flexible lumbar support cushion shown has a pressure-dispersing structure. The backrest 103 and the second cushion 6 are connected by a carrying hole 15, which allows the user to easily lift or move the entire cushion body 1 by passing their fingers or hands through the carrying hole 15, whether moving it from home to the office or carrying it during outdoor activities.
