Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of massage instruments, specifically to a massage chair with lumbar and spinal airbag detection functions. Background Technology

[0002] In modern life, massage chairs have become an important device for improving quality of life and relieving stress, and they are widely used in homes, offices and commercial leisure areas.

[0003] The lower back, as a vital support area of ​​the human body, plays a crucial role in daily activities and maintaining posture. However, current massage chairs on the market have some shortcomings in their targeting of this specific area. For example, existing massage chairs lack adequate support for the lower back, failing to conform to the physiological curves of the lower back and the individual differences of different users. Prolonged use not only fails to relax the lower back muscles but may even exacerbate the burden on the lower back due to improper support. On the other hand, there are also gaps in the health monitoring and management of the lower back, especially the lumbar spine.

[0004] Flexible fabric sensors (also known as sensing fabrics) are smart textiles that integrate sensing materials or elements. They can convert external stimuli such as pressure and tension into electrical signals, and possess soft, body-hugging properties as well as flexible and versatile structures. These sensors are mainly fabricated through coating, weaving, or encapsulation, and are widely used in fields such as medical and health monitoring, motion detection, and smart protection. Due to their excellent flexibility and wearability, they also show great application potential in the fields of smart clothing and wearable devices. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a massage chair with lumbar and spinal airbag detection function, which has an airbag that can adaptively support the user's lumbar region.

[0006] This utility model discloses a massage chair with lumbar and spinal airbag detection functions, comprising a chair frame, a backrest frame, and a vertically extending groove on the backrest frame. A massage mechanism capable of moving along the groove is mounted on the chair frame, allowing it to move between the neck, shoulders, back, and waist areas. The front of the backrest frame is covered with a wear-resistant cloth. The massage head of the massage mechanism contacts the rear of the wear-resistant cloth, applying massage force to the body through the cloth. The wear-resistant cloth is durable and does not easily break during massage. A lumbar pillow is located in front of the wear-resistant cloth, comprising a soft airbag and a sensing cloth covering the front of the soft airbag. The soft airbag is connected to an inflation / deflation mechanism that allows it to inflate or deflate. The sensing cloth contacts the user's lower back when the user is seated. The sensing cloth uses a flexible fabric sensor. The massage mechanism can move at least along the groove to the rear of the soft airbag. The sensing cloth and the inflation / deflation mechanism work in conjunction.

[0007] When a user sits in the massage chair, the inflation / deflation mechanism inflates the lumbar support pillow, causing it to expand and press against the user's lower back. Because the sensor fabric has pressure detection capabilities, it works in conjunction with the inflation / deflation mechanism to allow the lumbar support pillow to adaptively provide reliable support for the user's lower back. This provides better adaptability for users of different body types and sitting postures, improving the lumbar support effect. Furthermore, utilizing the pressure-sensitive properties of the sensor fabric, when the lumbar support pillow expands and provides lumbar support, the pressure distribution can detect the user's posture, such as whether they are sitting in the middle of the massage chair or whether their posture is tilted. It can also be used to detect whether the body posture is good, such as detecting the curvature and tilt of the lumbar spine, which can assist in the user's health monitoring and management functions.

[0008] Furthermore, the chair frame has a storage compartment at its bottom, where the massage mechanism can move downwards along a groove to the storage compartment, which is located offset from the lumbar support. When the lumbar support is needed to test the user's lumbar health, the massage mechanism can be moved to the storage compartment to avoid interference with the test results, and especially to avoid affecting the stable support of the upper body.

[0009] Furthermore, the lumbar pillow also includes a flexible pillowcase, and the soft airbag is placed inside the flexible pillowcase. The flexible pillowcase can protect the soft airbag and prevent sharp objects from scratching or puncturing it. The sensing cloth covers the front of the flexible pillowcase and comes into direct contact with the user, thereby improving the pressure sensing effect.

[0010] Furthermore, the movement position control functions of the sensing cloth and the massage mechanism are linked and coordinated. When the massage mechanism moves to the position corresponding to the sensing cloth, the sensing cloth will sense the pressure change, thereby enabling the control of the movement position of the massage mechanism so that it can accurately move to the user's waist and massage it.

[0011] Furthermore, the sensing cloth can sense the pressure distribution. The massage mechanism includes an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the lateral massage position of the massage head. This adjustment mechanism works in conjunction with the sensing cloth to identify different positions on the lower back based on the pressure distribution of the sensing cloth. For example, it can be used to determine the location of acupoints on the lower back. By working in conjunction with the adjustment mechanism of the massage mechanism, the lateral massage position of the massage mechanism can be adjusted. By working in conjunction with the walking function of the massage mechanism, it can provide targeted massage to specific positions on the user's lower back.

[0012] Furthermore, the sensing cloth can detect the specific pressure levels at different locations. The sensing cloth and the massage intensity and depth adjustment functions of the massage mechanism work together in tandem. The massage intensity of the massage mechanism can be adjusted by changing the speed of the motor (the motor used to achieve vibration or drive the massage head to produce massage movements), and the massage depth can be adjusted by changing the forward and backward extension position of the massage head. Changes in massage intensity and depth will generate dynamic pressure changes on the sensing cloth, thereby enabling the massage intensity and depth of the massage mechanism to be automatically adapted to avoid causing discomfort to the user.

[0013] Furthermore, the sensing cloth and the posture reminder module of the massage chair work together to provide a reminder when the user has an incorrect posture. The posture reminder module can remind the user through the display screen, speaker, indicator light and other devices installed on the massage chair.

[0014] In addition to the effects mentioned above, the sensing fabric on the lumbar pillow can also sense the pressure changes when the soft airbag is inflated. This can be used to identify whether the soft airbag is damaged or leaking air, and can be used to assist in functions such as preventing the inflation and deflation mechanism from operating when a rupture is detected in the soft airbag.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper front part of the wear-resistant fabric is provided with a headrest that has the same structure and function as the lumbar pillow. The same structure means that it also includes a soft airbag and a sensing fabric covering the front of the soft airbag. The soft airbag is connected to an inflation / deflation mechanism that allows it to inflate or deflate. It may also include a flexible pillowcase fitted over the soft airbag, with the sensing fabric covering the front of the flexible pillowcase. Its interaction with the massage mechanism is the same as the lumbar pillow, only the placement is different. It targets the head and neck area, enabling detection of the cervical spine.

[0020] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the massage mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The structure of the massage chair with lumbar and spinal airbag detection function in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows: Figure 1-5 As shown, the chair includes a chair frame 1, a backrest frame 2 mounted on the chair frame 1, a vertically extending groove 21 on the backrest frame 2, and a massage mechanism 3 mounted on the chair frame 1 that can move along the groove 21. The massage mechanism 3 can move between the neck, shoulders, back, and waist of the human body. The front side of the backrest frame 2 is covered with a wear-resistant cloth 4. The massage head of the massage mechanism 3 contacts the rear side of the wear-resistant cloth 4, applying massage force to the human body through the wear-resistant cloth 4. The wear-resistant properties of the wear-resistant cloth 4 make it less prone to damage during the massage process. A lumbar pillow 5 is provided on the front side of the fabric 4. The lumbar pillow 5 includes a soft airbag 51 and a sensing fabric 52 covering the front side of the soft airbag 51. The soft airbag 51 is connected to an inflation / deflation mechanism that can inflate or deflate it. The inflation / deflation mechanism includes an air pump and an air valve (not shown in the figure). The sensing fabric 52 makes contact with the user's lower back when the user sits down. The sensing fabric 52 uses a flexible fabric sensor. The massage mechanism 3 can move at least along the through groove 21 to the rear of the soft airbag 51. The sensing fabric 52 and the inflation / deflation mechanism work together in conjunction.

[0022] When a user sits on the massage chair, the inflation / deflation mechanism inflates the lumbar pillow 5, causing it to expand and press against the user's lower back. Because the sensing fabric 52 has a pressure detection function, it works in conjunction with the inflation / deflation mechanism to allow the lumbar pillow 5 to adaptively provide reliable support for the user's lower back. This provides better adaptability for users of different body types and sitting postures, improving the lumbar support effect. Furthermore, utilizing the pressure-sensitive characteristics of the sensing fabric 52, when the lumbar pillow 5 inflates and provides lumbar support, the user's sitting posture can be detected based on the pressure distribution. For example, it can detect whether the user is sitting in the middle of the massage chair or whether the posture is tilted. It can also be used to detect whether the body posture is good, such as detecting the curvature and tilt of the lumbar spine, thus assisting in the user's health monitoring and management functions.

[0023] The chair frame 1 has a storage position 10 at its bottom. The massage mechanism 3 can move downwards along the through groove 21 to the storage position 10, which is located at a position offset from the lumbar pillow 5. When the lumbar pillow 5 is needed to test the user's lumbar health, in order to avoid the massage mechanism 3 interfering with the test results, and especially to avoid the massage mechanism 3 affecting the stable support of the upper body, the massage mechanism 3 can move to the storage position 10.

[0024] The lumbar pillow 5 also includes a flexible pillowcase 53. The soft airbag 51 is placed inside the flexible pillowcase 53. The flexible pillowcase 53 can protect the soft airbag 51 and prevent sharp objects from scratching or puncturing it. The sensing cloth 52 covers the front of the flexible pillowcase 53 and comes into direct contact with the user during use, thereby improving the pressure sensing effect.

[0025] The movement position control functions of the sensing cloth 52 and the massage mechanism 3 are linked and coordinated. Specifically, the gears on the massage mechanism 3 and the rack on the chair frame 1 work together to enable the massage mechanism 3 to move along the through groove 21. When the massage mechanism 3 moves to the position corresponding to the sensing cloth 52, the pressure change is sensed on the sensing cloth 52 by the pressure of the massage head of the massage mechanism 3. This allows the movement position of the massage mechanism 3 to be controlled so that it can accurately move to the user's waist position (i.e., the position corresponding to the lumbar pillow) and massage it.

[0026] The sensing cloth 52 can sense the pressure distribution, such as Figure 5The massage mechanism 3 shown includes an adjustment mechanism 31 for adjusting the lateral massage position of the massage head 33. This adjustment mechanism 31 works in conjunction with the sensing cloth 52 and can identify different positions on the lower back based on the pressure distribution of the sensing cloth 52. For example, it can be used to determine the acupoints on the lower back. By working in conjunction with the adjustment mechanism 31 of the massage mechanism 3, the lateral movement range of the massage head 33 of the massage mechanism 3 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the lateral massage position of the massage mechanism 3. By working in conjunction with the walking function of the massage mechanism 3, it can provide targeted massage to specific positions on the user's lower back.

[0027] The sensing cloth 52 can also detect the specific pressure at different locations. The sensing cloth 52 and the massage intensity and depth adjustment functions of the massage mechanism 3 are linked. The massage intensity of the massage mechanism 3 can be adjusted by changing the rotation speed of the motor 32 (the motor that drives the massage head 33 to produce massage movements). In massage mechanisms 3 with vibration massage function, the motor can also be used to achieve vibration. Furthermore, the massage depth can be adjusted by changing the forward and backward extension position of the massage head 33. Figure 3 The massage head 33 on the massage mechanism 3 shown is connected by a telescopic mechanism 34, which can be used to adjust the front and back position of the massage head 3. Changes in massage intensity and depth will generate dynamic pressure changes on the sensing cloth 52, thereby enabling the massage intensity and depth of the massage mechanism 3 to be automatically adapted to avoid discomfort to the user, such as limiting the pressure to a comfortable range.

[0028] When the user is sitting normally in the massage chair, the lumbar pillow 5 inflates and expands to support the user's waist. When the massage mechanism 3 is needed, the lumbar pillow 5 deflates and contracts, so that the massage force can be better transmitted to the body.

[0029] The sensing cloth 52 works in conjunction with the posture reminder module of the massage chair to provide prompts when the user has poor posture. The posture reminder module can provide visual or auditory prompts to the user through the display screen, speaker, indicator light and other means set on the massage chair, which helps to correct the user's poor posture.

[0030] In addition to the effects mentioned above, the sensing cloth 52 on the lumbar pillow 5 can also sense the pressure changes when the soft airbag is inflated. It can be used to identify whether the soft airbag 51 is damaged and leaking air. It can also be used to assist in realizing functions such as prohibiting the operation of the inflation and deflation mechanism when the soft airbag is detected to be damaged, thereby reducing potential hazards and ensuring the safety of the equipment.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a headrest 6 with the same structure and function as the lumbar pillow 5 is provided on the upper front side of the wear-resistant fabric 4. The same structure means that it also includes a soft airbag and a sensing fabric covering the front side of the soft airbag. For the specific structure, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 The headrest structure features a soft airbag connected to an inflation / deflation mechanism that allows it to expand or contract. It may also include a flexible pillowcase fitted over the soft airbag, with a sensing fabric covering the front of the flexible pillowcase. Its interaction with the massage mechanism is the same as that of a lumbar pillow, only the placement differs; it targets the head and neck area, enabling detection of the cervical spine.

[0032] The above embodiments are merely one preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Ordinary changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model's technical solution are all included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
