Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive pneumatic massage seat equipment, and in particular to a kneading massage structure suitable for automotive seat comfort systems. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry and the continuous improvement of people's quality of life, driving comfort has become an evaluation dimension as important as power and safety in the process of vehicle development.
[0003] With the upgrading of automobile performance and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, not only high-end models, but also an increasing number of mid-to-low-end models are paying special attention to driving comfort, among which car seat massage is an important function to provide passenger comfort. In the existing technology, the realization of seat massage mainly relies on a pneumatic solution of single-point air chambers and solenoid valves. That is, one or more independent rubber / TPU air bags are arranged in a local area of the backrest or seat cushion (commonly the waist or shoulders). Through the periodic inflation and deflation of air, a squeezing force is applied to the occupant, thereby simulating the feeling of massage. However, single-point massage is limited to fixed points and cannot realize a variety of massage techniques according to the ergonomic curve, resulting in a monotonous feeling for passengers and easy fatigue.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art are dedicated to developing a kneading massage structure suitable for automotive seat comfort systems, which can simulate various massage techniques to improve driving and riding comfort. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a kneading massage structure suitable for automotive seat comfort systems, which can simulate a variety of massage techniques and improve driving and riding comfort. The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A kneading massage structure suitable for automotive seat comfort systems, comprising A fixed base plate, which is used for mounting on a car seat; A telescopic assembly is mounted on the fixed base plate, and a mounting plate is connected to the end of the telescopic assembly; Massage components, multiple massage components are evenly mounted on the mounting plate along the circumference, and each massage component is connected to a pneumatic control component; A discharge balancing component is disposed at the end of the massage component.
[0006] The advantages of adopting the above solution are: a stable connection with the car seat is achieved by fixing the base plate, the telescopic component provides vertical displacement for massage, and the massage depth can be adjusted to suit different people; Multiple massage components arranged in a circle can simulate the circling or rolling pressing motion of fingers, rather than single-point stimulation, thus enhancing massage comfort. The pressure relief and balancing components help stabilize massage pressure.
[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0008] Furthermore, the telescopic component includes a telescopic air bag, which is installed between the fixed base plate and the mounting plate. The telescopic air bag is connected to the pneumatic control component through a first air inlet pipe, and a first solenoid valve is installed on the first air inlet pipe.
[0009] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are: the telescopic airbag provides the massage component with dynamic adjustment capabilities, enabling it to flexibly stretch and contract according to the human body contour, enhancing the fit, and the airbag structure is lightweight, easy to integrate, reducing cost and complexity.
[0010] Furthermore, the massage component includes massage air bags, a plurality of massage air bags are stacked and connected in sequence and mounted on the mounting plate, the massage air bags on the side closer to the mounting plate are connected to the pneumatic control component through a second air inlet pipe, and a second solenoid valve is installed on the second air inlet pipe.
[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the superimposed and interconnected multiple air bags simulate a compound massage technique similar to kneading, which enriches the massage experience; the independent control of the second air inlet pipe and solenoid valve of each massage component allows each massage component to move independently without interfering with each other, making the massage movements more precise and diverse.
[0012] Furthermore, the release balance assembly includes a release tube, and a plurality of the release tubes are installed at the end of the massage air bag and close to the human body side, and an elastic valve is installed on the release tube.
[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the combination of the vent tube and the elastic valve avoids excessive massage pressure, and can also release excess gas when the massage air bag is deflated, thus maintaining the system pressure balance; The vent pipes located near the body can also create airflow, improving breathability and enhancing overall comfort.
[0014] Furthermore, the elastic valve is a unidirectional umbrella-shaped silicone sheet.
[0015] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the one-way umbrella-shaped silicone sheet acts as an elastic valve, which opens and releases the pressure inside the massage air bag when the gas inside reaches a certain pressure. This not only avoids excessive pressure inside the massage air bag, but also allows the exhaust to form an airflow to increase breathability.
[0016] Furthermore, each of the multiple second air intake pipes is connected to an air intake distribution assembly.
[0017] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the introduction of the intake distribution component centrally controls multiple intake pipes, eliminating the need for solenoid valves, reducing costs and system complexity, and improving reliability.
[0018] Furthermore, the air intake distribution assembly includes an air storage cylinder connected to the air assembly. The air storage cylinder has a bottom, and the ends of a plurality of second air intake pipes are connected to the bottom. A rotating distribution assembly is also installed inside the air storage cylinder.
[0019] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the air reservoir is used to buffer the air pressure, ensuring that the remote air bag can also obtain sufficient air pressure synchronously, achieving consistency of massage movements and optimizing the overall massage effect.
[0020] Furthermore, the rotating distribution assembly includes a distribution plate, which is mounted inside the gas storage cylinder via a rotating rod and a mounting bearing, and the distribution plate has gas distribution holes; A transmission gear is installed on the rotating rod, and a power motor is installed on the air storage cylinder. The output end of the power motor is connected to a drive gear that cooperates with the transmission gear. The rotation of the power motor sequentially drives the drive gear, the transmission gear, the rotating rod, and the distribution plate to rotate, so that the air distribution hole periodically communicates with the second air intake pipe.
[0021] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the rotating distribution component provides a variety of massage rhythms for the massage component through the periodic air passage, enriches the massage techniques, and enhances the fun and comfort of the massage.
[0022] Furthermore, a pressure sensor and a safety valve are also installed on the gas storage tank.
[0023] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the pressure sensor and safety valve can monitor the pressure in real time and prevent overpressure from occurring, thus ensuring the safety of the kneading massage device. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "length", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "inner", "outer", "circumferential", "circumferential", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the system or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0028] In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0029] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] Example 1 like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a kneading massage structure suitable for a car seat comfort system includes a fixed base plate 1. The fixed base plate 1 can be made of hard felt, which is not only strong but also has a rough and non-slip surface. The fixed base plate 1 is used to install on a car seat. Telescopic component 2 is installed on the fixed base plate 1 by double-sided adhesive tape, and the end of the telescopic component 2 is connected to the mounting plate 3; Massage component 4, multiple massage components 4 are evenly installed on mounting plate 3 along the circumference, and each massage component 4 is connected to a pneumatic control component. The venting and balancing component 5 is disposed at the end of the massage component 4.
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the telescopic component 2 includes a telescopic air bag 6, which is made of a wear-resistant, highly elastic special rubber material. The telescopic air bag 6 is installed between the fixed base plate 1 and the mounting plate 3. The telescopic air bag 6 is connected to the pneumatic control component through a first air inlet pipe 7. The pneumatic control component can be an ECU controller. A first solenoid valve 8 is installed on the first air inlet pipe 7. The first solenoid valve 8 can be a two-position three-way valve. When the first solenoid valve 8 receives an opening control command from the control component, the first solenoid valve 8 moves to the first valve position, allowing air to be supplied to the telescopic air bag 6 through the first air inlet pipe 7, causing the telescopic air bag 6 to expand and making the massage component 4 fit the passenger's massage area more closely. Conversely, when the first solenoid valve 8 receives a closing control command from the control component, the first solenoid valve 8 moves to the second valve position, allowing the first air inlet pipe 7 to communicate with the outside atmosphere, and the gas inside the telescopic air bag 6 is discharged under the action of its own restoring force.
[0032] In this embodiment, the massage component 4 includes massage air bags 9. Multiple massage air bags 9 are stacked and connected in sequence and installed on the mounting plate 3. Each massage air bag 9 is welded into shape by high-frequency welding process. The massage air bag 9 on the side closest to the mounting plate 3 is connected to the pneumatic control component through the second air inlet pipe 10. The second air inlet pipe 10 is equipped with a second solenoid valve 11, which can independently control the inflation and deflation of each massage air bag 9. This allows each massage component 4 to flexibly perform individual or combined actions according to the preset program or the real-time needs of the passenger, realizing diverse massage techniques, such as gentle rolling and pressing, and powerful deep kneading, which greatly enriches the massage experience.
[0033] In a specific embodiment, the second solenoid valve 11 can be a two-position three-way valve or a one-way valve. When a two-position three-way valve is used, the control process is the same as that of the first solenoid valve 8. If the second solenoid valve 11 is a one-way valve, air is circulated into the massage air bag 9 through the opening of the second solenoid valve 11, and the gas in the massage air bag 9 is mainly discharged through the venting balance component 5.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the venting and balancing assembly 5 includes venting pipes 12. Multiple venting pipes 12 are installed at the ends of the massage airbags 9, close to the human body. Elastic valves 13 are installed on the venting pipes 12; the elastic valves 13 are elastic, one-way umbrella-shaped silicone sheets. During the massage, when the air pressure inside the massage airbags 9 exceeds a safety threshold, the elastic valves 13 automatically open under the pressure, releasing excess gas and effectively preventing excessive massage pressure, thus avoiding discomfort to the human body. Simultaneously, during the air release phase of the massage airbags 9, the venting pipes 12 can also create a gentle airflow, providing a cool and breathable comfort for the passenger, further enhancing the enjoyment of the massage process.
[0035] Example 2 like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that in Embodiment 1, each massage air bag 9 is controlled by an independent air intake pipe and a corresponding solenoid valve, while in Embodiment 2, it is not necessary to install a second solenoid valve 11. If a second solenoid valve 11 is installed, it needs to be in the open air intake state in this embodiment. The multiple second air intake pipes 10 mainly rely on the periodic air intake distribution component 14 to simulate the rotation and kneading technique.
[0036] In this embodiment, multiple second air inlet pipes 10 are connected to an air inlet distribution assembly 14. The air inlet distribution assembly 14 includes an air reservoir 15, which can store a certain amount of compressed air. The air reservoir 15 is also equipped with a pressure sensor 22 and a safety valve 23 for real-time monitoring of the air pressure inside the air reservoir 15. Once the air pressure exceeds the safe range, the safety valve 23 immediately opens to quickly release excess gas, preventing the system from being damaged due to overpressure and ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the entire massage structure. The pressure sensor 22 continuously feeds the air pressure data back to the control system so that the working state of the air pump can be adjusted in a timely manner to maintain the stability of the system air pressure and ensure the consistency of the massage effect.
[0037] The air reservoir 15 is connected to the air assembly to provide compression control. The air reservoir 15 has a bottom 16, and the ends of a plurality of second air inlet pipes 10 are connected to the bottom 16. A rotary distribution assembly is also installed inside the air reservoir 15.
[0038] Specifically, the rotating distribution assembly includes a distribution plate 17, which is installed inside the air storage cylinder 15 via a rotating rod 18 and a mounting bearing 19. The distribution plate 17 has an air distribution hole 20. A transmission gear 24 is installed on the rotating rod 18, and a power motor 21 is installed on the air storage cylinder 15. The output end of the power motor 21 is connected to a drive gear that cooperates with the transmission gear 24. The rotation of the power motor 21 sequentially drives the drive gear, the transmission gear 24, the rotating rod 18, and the distribution plate 17 to rotate, so that the air distribution hole 20 periodically communicates with the second air intake pipe 10.
[0039] When the power motor 21 starts, the drive gear drives the transmission gear 24 to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating rod 18 and the distribution plate 17 to rotate together. As the distribution plate 17 rotates, the air distribution port 20 connects to the second air intake pipe 10 in sequence, and the airflow enters each massage air bag 9 periodically according to a preset rhythm, bringing passengers a rhythmic massage rhythm, simulating different techniques such as kneading, pushing, and pressing with human hands, and meeting diverse massage needs.
