[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the dual-motor lumbar support device 1 of this utility model includes a bed frame mounting plate 11. Several lead screws 12 are arranged side by side on the bed frame mounting plate 11. One end of each lead screw 12 is individually connected to a drive motor 13, and the other end of each lead screw 12 is connected to a top lumbar support plate 14. The drive motors 13 are located below the bed frame mounting plate 11, and each drive motor 13 works synchronously.

[0030] Preferably, this invention uses two lead screws 12. One end of each lead screw 12 is individually connected to a drive motor 13, and the other end of each lead screw 12 is equipped with a connecting plate 16. The connecting plate 16 connects to the top and waist support plate 14, thus enabling both lead screws 12 to be connected to the top and waist support plate 14, and the two drive motors 13 to operate synchronously. Each drive motor 13 has a built-in Hall sensor that can collect signals in real time and transmit the number of rotations to the CPU in the control box. The CPU processes the two signals (e.g., comparing the number of rotations). By adjusting the current of the corresponding drive motor 13, the rotation speed is changed to ensure that both drive motors 13 maintain the same number of rotations, thereby achieving synchronous operation of the drive motors 13. Accumulated errors may occur during the stroke. When the height difference between the two drive motors 13 reaches 2 cm, the system will stop working. At this time, simply press the reset button to return the system to zero and resume normal operation. Generally, a reset operation is performed after approximately 10,000 uses. The reset setting is achieved by pressing and holding the down button on the remote control for 5 seconds. The synchronous drive of the drive motor 13 in this utility model can be controlled by methods commonly used in the prior art. The specific control method is not the protection content of this utility model and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] Furthermore, a support guide block 15 is fitted around the outer side of the lead screw 12 in this invention, and the support guide block 15 is fixed on the bed frame mounting plate 11. A through hole 151 is provided in the middle of the support guide block 15, through which the lead screw 12 passes. The diameter of the through hole 151 is slightly larger than the diameter of the lead screw 12. When the lead screw 12 moves up and down, the guide support block 15 can restrict the displacement of the lead screw 12 in all directions, making the up-and-down movement of the lead screw 12 more stable. The drive motor 13 includes a meshing motor worm gear 131 and a motor worm wheel 132. The motor worm wheel 132 is fitted onto the lead screw 12, and a limiting retaining ring 18 is provided at the bottom end of the lead screw 12, located below the motor worm wheel 132. The motor worm wheel 132 has an internal thread 1321, and the lead screw 12 has an external thread, with the thread 1321 meshing with the external thread.

[0032] In use, the motor worm gear 131 rotates, driving the motor worm wheel 132 to rotate. At this time, the motor worm wheel 132 has a thread 1321 that mates with the lead screw 12. When the motor worm wheel 132 rotates, it drives the lead screw 12 to move up and down linearly. One end of the lead screw 12 is fixed to the top waist support plate 14, and the other end is equipped with a limit ring 18. When the lead screw 12 moves up and down, it drives the top waist support plate 14 to move up and down, performing the waist support function. At the same time, the limit ring 18 at the other end can prevent the lead screw 12 from leaving the range of motion.

[0033] To enhance user comfort, this invention incorporates a vibration massage motor 17 mounted on the side of the connecting plate 16, allowing for simultaneous lumbar massage while the user receives the lumbar support. Furthermore, the upper surface of the lumbar support plate 14 is curved and made of glass fiber reinforced nylon, which is more ergonomic and conforms better to the curvature of the human waist. Glass fiber reinforced nylon is a blend of nylon with added glass fiber and toughening agents. As the glass fiber content increases, the tensile and flexural strength of the material can be significantly improved, while impact strength is more complex due to multiple factors. The addition of toughening agents also significantly improves the material's toughness. Optimal comprehensive mechanical properties are achieved when 30%–35% glass fiber and 8%–12% toughening agent are added.

[0034] The synchronous drive of the drive motor 13 in this utility model can be controlled by methods commonly used in the prior art. The specific control method is not the protected content of this utility model and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, the mattress of this utility model includes a bed frame 2, on which a first bed board 3, a second bed board 4, a third bed board 5, a fourth bed board 6, and a fifth bed board 7 are movably connected. A dual-motor lumbar support device 1 is installed on the second bed board 4, and the dual-motor lumbar support device 1 is located on the side of the second bed board 4 closest to the third bed board 5. In use, the lumbar support device 1 supports the lower back. The mattress of this utility model also includes a controller, which can adjust the distance between the lumbar support plate 14 and the second bed board 4, ranging from 4.2 cm to 14.2 cm. The initial distance between the lumbar support plate 14 and the second bed board 4 is preferably 4.2 cm, and the travel provided by the lead screw 12 is preferably 10 cm. Furthermore, the adjustment process will not affect the mattress padding material, nor will it cause damage or breakage. The mattress width can range from 75-180 cm, such as 75cm, 90cm, 100cm, 110cm, 120cm, 150cm, 160cm, 170cm, or 180cm. When the width is too small, the dual-motor lumbar support device 1 occupies too large a proportion of the mattress area, which will cause discomfort to the user. When the mattress width is too large, the dual-motor lumbar support device 1 occupies too small a proportion of the mattress area, which makes it inconvenient for the user to find the appropriate position of the lumbar support board 14. Therefore, when the mattress width is preferably 75-180cm, the proportion of the dual-motor lumbar support device 1 in the mattress area is the most moderate, and the lumbar support board 14 is located right at the user's waist after lying down, making it very convenient to use.

[0036] This utility model features a dual-motor lumbar support device 1 that provides smooth lifting and stable operation, and can support the lumbar region at any lifting position for more precise support. This not only improves comfort but also allows users to flexibly adjust the mattress shape according to their needs, making it especially suitable for people who require additional lumbar support.

[0037] In addition, the dual-motor lumbar support device 1 in this utility model can also be applied to electric chairs, electric beds or electric chairs. When the back is bent at any angle, the height of the top lumbar support plate 14 can be adjusted at any time. The purpose is to make different lumbar vertebrae (such as lumbar vertebrae changes in different age groups, individual differences in lumbar vertebrae curvature, etc.) fit completely with the mattress, effectively support the waist, and avoid the lumbar spine being suspended and thus causing various discomforts.

[0038] The above embodiments are only used to explain the inventive concept of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
