[0030] ​​​​At least two sub-air-bag bodies 1 arranged in a stack along a first direction, the first direction being perpendicular to the standard plane;

[0031] At least two airflow channels 2 are communicated between adjacent sub-air-bag bodies 1, and two airflow channels 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central axis of the sub-air-bag body 1;

[0032] A tensioning part 3 is arranged at the middle position of the plurality of sub-air-bag bodies 1, and the tensioning part 3 is configured to:

[0033] When the massage air bag 6 is inflated and bulges, the tensioning part 3 pulls the sub-air-bag body 1 to pull and tighten the middle part of the plurality of sub-air-bag bodies 1 in the first direction, so that the whole massage air bag 6 is in a V shape after being inflated and bulged, and the V-shaped massage air bag 6 is inflated and deflated to achieve a rhythmic local fluctuation of the seat surface, thereby realizing a kneading massage mode similar to the "kneading" of human palms on the body of the occupant, and bringing a better massage experience to the occupant.
