Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of pneumatic massage technology, and in particular to a car seat neck heat-simulating massage system and a car seat. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of the automotive industry, consumers have increasingly diverse requirements for car interior systems. During long driving sessions, drivers' necks may become stiff and sore due to being in one position for extended periods, which can easily lead to cervical spine discomfort over time.

[0003] Existing car seats typically have soft pillows suspended at the connection between the headrest and the backrest. These soft pillows provide some support for the passenger's neck and can improve stiffness and fatigue in the neck. However, based on long-term use, the effect is generally limited and the function is singular, with little effect on relieving cervical discomfort or driving fatigue. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve some or all of the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a car seat neck simulated heat massage system and a car seat.

[0005] According to a first aspect of this utility model, a car seat neck-simulating heat-moxibustion massage system is provided. It uses a soft pillow attached to the headrest as a carrier and includes a massage component, a heating component, and a control assembly. The massage component is disposed within the soft pillow and includes a pneumatic massage bladder assembly capable of supporting or massaging the occupant's neck. The heating component is disposed on the side of the soft pillow near the occupant's neck and corresponds to the massage component. The control assembly is configured to: firstly, control the heating component to heat up and, after a preset time, control the pneumatic massage bladder assembly to inflate and lift it, forcing the heating component to move closer to the occupant's neck to apply thermal compression, forming a "top-pressure heat moxibustion" effect on the neck; secondly, control the heating component to stop heating when the pneumatic massage bladder assembly changes from an inflated state to a deflated state.

[0006] Furthermore, the pneumatic massage bag assembly includes a support air bag and a massage air bag. The support air bag is configured as a single-layer air bag, and the massage air bag is located on the side of the support air bag near the heating component. There are two sets of massage air bags, and the two sets of massage air bags are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central axis of the support air bag. Each set of massage air bags is configured as a multi-layer air bag that is interconnected, and the airflow connection point is offset from the central axis of the massage air bag and closer to the central axis of the support air bag, so that when the multi-layer air bags are inflated, they tend to converge inward.

[0007] Furthermore, a first limiting member is provided between the two sets of massage air bags. The first limiting member is connected to the massage air bags on both sides. The first limiting member is configured to constrain the lateral displacement of the two sets of massage air bags during the inflation process, so that the two sets of massage air bags can better retract inward.

[0008] Furthermore, the first limiting member is configured as a connecting rib, which is disposed between the bottommost air bags of the two sets of massage air bags and connected to the massage air bags on both sides. The connecting rib can constrain the lateral displacement of the two sets of massage air bags during the inflation process, so that the two sets of massage air bags can better converge inward.

[0009] Furthermore, a second limiting member is provided inside the support air bag. The second limiting member is configured to: constrain the height of the support air bag after it is inflated and raised, and also to make the surface of the support air bag tend to be horizontal or near-horizontal after it is inflated and raised.

[0010] Furthermore, the second limiting member is a tension band made of flexible material. The tension band is disposed between the upper and lower diaphragms of the supporting air bag and is fixedly connected to the upper and lower diaphragms. When the supporting air bag is inflated and lifted, the lifting height of the supporting air bag is constrained by the tension band, and the surface of the supporting air bag will gradually tend to be horizontal or near-horizontal.

[0011] Furthermore, the heating component includes at least one heating circuit, which is arranged corresponding to the force application area of ​​the massage component. The heating circuit is formed by bending at least one heating wire, which is distributed in a serpentine pattern. The end of the heating wire is connected to a wiring harness, which is connected to an external power source.

[0012] Furthermore, the control assembly includes a pneumatic adjustment module and a heating adjustment module. The pneumatic adjustment module is used to control the inflation or deflation of the pneumatic massage bag assembly. The heating adjustment module controls the heating component to heat or stop heating based on the inflation or deflation status of the pneumatic massage bag assembly.

[0013] Furthermore, the pneumatic distribution module includes an air source, an air distribution valve, and a controller. The air source is used to inflate the pneumatic massage bag assembly; the air distribution valve is used to regulate the gas flow state; and the controller controls the operation of the air source and the air distribution valve to inflate or deflate the pneumatic massage bag assembly.

[0014] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a car seat is provided, which includes a neck-simulating heat massage system as described in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0015] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, in the neck simulated heat moxibustion massage system described in the first aspect of this utility model and the car seat described in the second aspect of this utility model, the neck simulated heat moxibustion massage process can be described as follows: First, the control assembly controls the heating component to work and start heating. After the preset heating time is reached, the control module controls the pneumatic massage bag group to work. As the pneumatic massage bag group inflates and rises, it will drive the heating component to move towards the neck of the passenger. The passenger's neck will feel the heat compression, thereby producing the effect of "pressure heat moxibustion" on the neck, so as to improve the stiffness and fatigue of the passenger's neck. When the pneumatic massage bag group changes from the inflated state to the deflated state, the heating component stops heating.

[0016] In addition, the neck heat-simulating massage system of this utility model has the advantages of simple structure, easy assembly, and safe and reliable use, which makes it easy to implement and promote its application. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The following is in conjunction with Appendix 1- Figure 8 This application will be described in further detail. Example

[0028] As mentioned in the background section, in view of the problems in the prior art, this application proposes a car seat neck heat-simulating massage system, which uses a soft pillow 2 attached to the headrest 1 as a carrier. The neck heat-simulating massage system includes:

[0029] Massage component 3, heating component 4, and control assembly 5.

[0030] The massage component 3 is disposed inside the attached soft pillow 2. The massage component 3 includes a pneumatic massage bag group 31 that can support or massage the neck of the occupant. The heating component 4 is disposed on the side of the attached soft pillow 2 near the neck of the occupant and is disposed corresponding to the massage component 3.

[0031] The control assembly 5 is configured as follows:

[0032] Firstly, after the heating component 4 heats up and reaches a preset time, the pneumatic massage bag group 31 is inflated and lifted up, forcing the heating component 4 to move closer to the passenger's neck, so as to apply heat to the passenger's neck and form a "top pressure heat moxibustion" on the neck.

[0033] Secondly, when the pneumatic massage bag assembly 31 changes from an inflated state to a deflated state, the heating component 4 is controlled to stop heating.

[0034] Based on the above configuration, the neck simulated heat moxibustion massage process can be described as follows: First, the control assembly 5 controls the heating component 4 to work and start heating. After the preset heating time is reached, the control module then controls the pneumatic massage bag assembly 31 to work. As the pneumatic massage bag assembly 31 inflates and rises, it will drive the heating component 4 to move closer to the occupant's neck. The occupant's neck will feel hot compression, thereby producing the effect of "top pressure heat moxibustion" on the neck, which can improve the stiffness and soreness of the occupant's neck. When the pneumatic massage bag assembly 31 changes from an inflated state to a deflated state, the heating component 4 stops heating.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the attached soft pillow 2 is attached to the headrest 1 of the car seat. The connection between the soft pillow 2 and the headrest 1 is not limited to being tied with straps or attached with Velcro. The outer side of the attached soft pillow 2 is an inner lining layer 21, and the inner core 22 is filled with cotton wool. The inner core 22 has a space 23 for accommodating the massage component 3.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the control assembly 5 includes a pneumatic adjustment module 51 and a heating adjustment module 52. The pneumatic adjustment module 51 is used to control the inflation or deflation of the pneumatic massage bag assembly 31. The heating adjustment module 52 can control the heating component 4 to heat or stop heating based on the inflation or deflation state of the pneumatic massage bag assembly 31.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the pneumatic distribution module 51 includes an air source 511, an air distribution valve 512, and a controller 513. The air source 511 is preferably an air pump 514, which is used to inflate the pneumatic massage bag assembly 31. The air distribution valve 512 is used to regulate the gas flow state. The controller 513 controls the operation of the air source 511 and the air distribution valve 512 to inflate or deflate the pneumatic massage bag assembly 31.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the air tube 12 extends from the controller 513 and passes through the headrest rod 11, and then extends from the headrest rod 11 to the headrest 1. A quick-connect plug 13 connects the attached soft pillow 2 to the headrest 1, and the air passage of the pneumatic massage bag assembly 31 and the air pump 514 is connected through the quick-connect plug 13. The quick-connect plug 13 is a conventional setting in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the pneumatic massage bag assembly 31 includes a support air bag 311 and a massage air bag 312. The support air bag 311 is configured as a single-layer air bag. The massage air bag 312 is disposed on the side of the support air bag 311 near the heating component 4. Two sets of massage air bags 312 are provided, and the two sets of massage air bags 312 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central axis of the support air bag 311.

[0040] A connecting diaphragm 32 is provided on the side of the two sets of massage air bags 312 that are far apart from each other. The end of the connecting diaphragm 32 that is far away from the massage air bag 312 is connected to the supporting air bag 311. The massage air bag 312 and the supporting air bag 311 are connected in this way. The connecting diaphragm 32 is made of TPU material.

[0041] Each set of massage air bags 312 is configured as a multi-layered air bag that is interconnected, and the airflow connection 33 is offset from the central axis of the massage air bag 312 and closer to the central axis of the support air bag 311, so that when the multi-layered air bags are inflated, they tend to converge inward. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the multi-layered air bags are preferably three layers, and the actual selection should be based on the actual needs of the attached soft pillow 2.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, a first limiting member 6 is provided between the two sets of massage air bags 312. The first limiting member 6 is configured as a connecting rib 61. The connecting rib 61 is disposed between the bottommost air bags of the two sets of massage air bags 312 and connected to the massage air bags 312 on both sides. The connecting rib 61 can restrain the lateral displacement of the two sets of massage air bags 312 during the inflation process, so that the two sets of massage air bags 312 can better converge inward to better fit the occupant's neck.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, a second limiting member 7 is provided inside the supporting air bag 311. The second limiting member 7 is a tension band 71 made of flexible material. The tension band 71 is disposed between the upper diaphragm and the lower diaphragm of the supporting air bag 311 and is fixedly connected to the upper diaphragm and the lower diaphragm. When the supporting air bag 311 is inflated and lifted, the lifting height of the supporting air bag 311 is constrained by the tension band 71, and the surface of the supporting air bag 311 will gradually tend to be horizontal or near-horizontal.

[0044] Here, the horizontal or near-horizontal state is further explained. The tensioning band 71 prevents the support air bag 311 from over-expanding, that is, it compresses the expansion height of the support air bag 311. This also reduces the surface curvature of the diaphragm after the support air bag 311 is lifted, so that the surface of the support air bag 311 gradually tends to be horizontal or near-horizontal. The main purpose of this design is to weaken the tendency of the massage air bag 312 to expand laterally outward when the support air bag 311 is lifted.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the heating component 4 includes at least one heating circuit, which is arranged corresponding to the force application area of ​​the massage component 3. The heating circuit is formed by bending at least one heating wire 41. The heating wire 41 is distributed in a serpentine pattern and is specifically sewn onto the inner lining covering layer 21 of the attached soft pillow 2. The end of the heating wire 41 is connected to a wiring harness 42, which is connected to an external power source. In practical applications, after the heating wire 41 and the wiring harness 42 are connected, they are connected to the vehicle's electrical system. The vehicle's electrical system is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0046] Based on the above configuration, the massage configurations of the heat therapy massage system are listed below:

[0047] Mode 1: The supporting air bag 311 is not inflated, and the massage air bags 312 on both sides are inflated or deflated simultaneously; or the supporting air bag 311 is inflated, and the massage air bags 312 on both sides are inflated or deflated simultaneously.

[0048] The following are the corresponding heat massage methods in this mode:

[0049] Firstly, the supporting airbag 311 inflates for 7.0 seconds, with a pressure limit of 30 kPa, and maintains pressure continuously; the massage airbags 312 on both sides inflate simultaneously for 3.0 seconds, and then simultaneously deflate for 3.0 seconds. Then, the massage airbags 312 on both sides inflate simultaneously again for 3.0 seconds, and then simultaneously deflate... This cycle repeats. During the cycle, the massage airbags 312 on both sides will repeatedly press against the heating component 4, ultimately achieving a relatively gentle pressure heating massage.

[0050] Secondly: The supporting airbag 311 inflates for 7.0 seconds, with a pressure limit of 30 kPa, and maintains pressure continuously; the massage airbags 312 on both sides inflate simultaneously for 3.0 seconds, then simultaneously deflate for 1.0 second, then simultaneously inflate again for 1.0 second, then simultaneously deflate for 1.0 second, then simultaneously inflate again for 1.0 second, and so on, repeating this short-frequency cycle three times, then simultaneously deflate for 3.0 seconds, then simultaneously inflate again for 3.0 seconds... and so on. During the cycle, the massage airbags 312 on both sides will repeatedly press against the heating component 4, ultimately achieving a relatively fast-paced pressing and heating massage.

[0051] Mode 2: The supporting air bag 311 is not inflated, and the massage air bags 312 on both sides are not inflated or deflated at the same time; or the supporting air bag 311 is inflated, and the massage air bags 312 on both sides are not inflated or deflated at the same time.

[0052] The following are the corresponding heat massage methods in this mode:

[0053] Firstly, the supporting airbag 311 inflates for 7.0 seconds, with a pressure limit of 30 kPa, and maintains pressure continuously. Then, the massage airbag 312 on the left side begins to inflate first, with an inflation time of 3.0 seconds, followed by deflation for 3.0 seconds. Simultaneously, the massage airbag 312 on the right side begins to inflate, with an inflation time of 3.0 seconds, followed by deflation for 3.0 seconds. This cycle repeats, during which the massage airbags 312 on both sides repeatedly press against the heating component 4, ultimately achieving alternating left and right pressure heating massage.
