Description

Massage airbag and massage cushion and mattress using the same Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bedding, and in particular to a massage airbag. Background Art

[0002] Existing mattresses have a massage function, which is achieved using a massage airbag. These cylindrical airbags have a small diameter to enhance massage comfort. This can cause the middle section of the airbag to bend under pressure, preventing the pressing force from being effectively transmitted upwards. Furthermore, the small size of the airbag can result in insufficient pressing force, impacting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to address the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a massage airbag and a massage cushion and mattress using the same. A massage piece with annular corrugations is provided in the middle of the top surface of the base segment. The massage piece and the base segment expand and contract synchronously to form a massage resistance surface, thereby increasing the pressing force and reducing the area of ​​the massage resistance surface by utilizing the massage piece with a smaller diameter. The annular corrugations are provided to increase the vertical deformation amplitude of the massage piece, thereby improving the massage comfort.

[0004] The present invention is achieved by the following method: a massage airbag comprising a bladder body, the bladder body comprising a base segment and a massage element disposed in the middle of the top surface of the base segment. The massage element has an annular corrugation on its periphery. When inflated, the massage element switches from a contracted state (where the annular corrugation is folded) to an extended state (where the annular corrugation is extended), thereby lifting the middle portion of the massage element upward and forming a massage resistance surface. The massage element with the annular corrugation is disposed in the middle of the top surface of the base segment. The massage element, which is synchronously retracted and expanded with the base segment, can switch from a contracted state to an extended state, thereby forming a massage resistance surface that applies a pressing force to the user. The base segment is utilized to increase the elevation of the massage resistance surface, enhancing the pressing force and anti-bending properties, ensuring that the pressing force is effectively transmitted upward. The massage element also reduces the area of ​​the massage resistance surface by reducing its diameter, thereby improving massage comfort. Furthermore, the annular corrugation increases the vertical deformation amplitude of the massage element, ensuring a large gap between the massage resistance surface and the top surface of the base segment, preventing the top surface of the base segment from interfering with the massage, thereby improving the user experience.

[0005] Preferably, the annular corrugations are at least two layers and are connected in a radially expanding manner along the massage piece. This not only increases the vertical deformation stroke of the massage piece by increasing the number of annular corrugations, but also effectively reduces the vertical thickness of a single corrugation, thereby reducing the foreign body sensation by reducing the thickness of the massage piece when it is in a contracted state.

[0006] Preferably, the annular corrugation is disposed around the periphery of the massage resistance surface so that the massage resistance surface and the annular corrugation are disposed concentrically. The annular corrugation surrounds the massage resistance surface, and the two are disposed coaxially with each other, ensuring that each circumferential segment of the annular corrugation has the same vertical deformation amplitude, thereby ensuring that the massage resistance surface can be raised and lowered smoothly along the vertical axis in a horizontal position, thereby providing effective massage stimulation to the user.

[0007] Preferably, when the massage element is in the retracted state, the annular corrugation and the massage resistance surface are at the same level. When the massage element switches to the retracted state, the massage resistance surface descends and is at the same level as the folded annular corrugation, thereby eliminating the foreign body sensation by reducing the thickness of the massage element.

[0008] Preferably, the cross-section of the annular corrugation is wavy. The wavy shape is a horizontal S-shape, which not only facilitates the formation of a regular continuous wave shape after the adjacent annular corrugations are connected, but also ensures that the annular corrugation can be freely switched between a folded state and an unfolded state, ensuring that the massage element can accurately extend and retract along the vertical axis.

[0009] Preferably, the outer periphery of the annular corrugation is connected to the periphery of the top surface of the base segment to form the top wall of the base segment, ensuring a sealed connection between the two to prevent air leakage. It also facilitates independent processing and adhesive assembly of the massage element and the base segment, thereby improving production efficiency. The base segment and the massage element are adhered and enclosed to form a bladder, ensuring that the base segment and the massage element expand and contract synchronously during inflation and deflation, ensuring that the base segment can provide reliable support for the massage element.

[0010] Preferably, the base segment includes at least two vertically stacked and interconnected unit cells. By providing multiple vertically stacked unit cells, the vertical deformation strokes of the unit cells are superimposed, thereby enabling the base segment to achieve a predetermined vertical deformation height after inflation and provide reliable support for the massage element.

[0011] Preferably, the unit capsule comprises two vertically stacked substrates, which are fixedly bonded and enclosed by peripheral adhesive bonding to form the unit capsule. The vertical stacking of the substrates and the peripheral hot-melt bonding ensures that the unit capsule has good sealing performance and can deform and expand along a vertical path when inflated, ensuring that the massage contact surface can move upward in a horizontal position and transmit the pressing force. Furthermore, by increasing the diameter, the radial deformation resistance of the base segment is improved.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the base section is provided with an air port communicating with the outside world. The massage airbag is connected to an external control box through the air port so that the air pressure in the massage airbag can be adjusted, thereby ensuring that the base section and the massage element deform synchronously.

[0013] A massage cushion includes a cushion body, and massage airbags are arranged on the cushion body. Arranging multiple massage airbags on the cushion body not only ensures that the positions of adjacent massage airbags are fixed, but also ensures that the massage airbags can be uniformly controlled and adjusted, thereby improving the coordination of the movements of the massage airbags.

[0014] Preferably, the massage airbags are connected in series via air tubes provided in the cushion body, so that the massage airbags can achieve synchronous deformation under the control of the control box, effectively simplifying the pipeline structure and facilitating control.

[0015] Preferably, the massage airbags are arranged linearly and equidistantly, and the long massage pad is provided with massage airbags arranged linearly and equidistantly, so that the width of the massage pad is reduced to facilitate arrangement and matching according to usage requirements.

[0016] Preferably, the massage airbags are arranged in a matrix shape, and the rectangular massage cushion is provided with massage airbags arranged in a matrix shape, which can effectively cover a larger area and is convenient for laying and use.

[0017] A mattress using the aforementioned massage airbag comprises a main body and a cover enclosing the main body. The main body comprises, arranged from top to bottom, a comfort layer, a massage cushion, and a support layer. The massage cushion is provided with the massage airbag, and a control box for adjusting the air pressure within the massage airbag is located at the rear of the support layer. The massage cushion with the massage airbag is placed between the support layer and the comfort layer. The control box controls the inflation and deflation of the massage airbag, enabling the massage airbag to exert a vertical upward pressure on the reclining user through the massage contact surface, ensuring a comfortable massage experience for the user.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: a massage piece with annular corrugations is provided in the middle of the top surface of the base segment. The massage piece, which is retracted and expanded synchronously with the base segment, can switch from a contracted state to an elevated state and form a massage resistance surface that applies a pressing force to the user. The base segment is utilized to increase the lifting height of the massage resistance surface, improve the pressing force and anti-bending performance, and ensure that the pressing force can be effectively transmitted upward. The area of ​​the massage resistance surface is reduced by reducing the diameter of the massage piece, thereby improving the massage comfort. The vertical deformation amplitude of the massage piece is increased by providing annular corrugations, thereby ensuring a large distance between the massage resistance surface and the top surface of the base segment, thereby preventing the top surface of the base segment from interfering with the massage and improving the user experience.

[0026] The essential features of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] This embodiment provides a massage airbag.

[0029] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, a massage airbag consists of a bag body, which includes a base section 1 and a massage element 2 arranged in the middle of the top surface of the base section 1. The massage element 2 is provided with an annular corrugation 3 on its periphery. When inflated, the massage element 2 switches from a contracted state in which the annular corrugation 3 is folded to an raised state in which the annular corrugation 3 is extended, so that the middle part of the massage element 2 is lifted upward and forms a massage resistance surface 4. A massage piece 2 with annular corrugations 3 is provided in the middle of the top surface of the base segment 1. The massage piece 2, which is retracted and expanded synchronously with the base segment 1, can switch from a contracted state to an elevated state and form a massage resistance surface 4 that applies a pressing force to the user. The base segment 1 is used to increase the lifting height of the massage resistance surface 4, improve the pressing force and anti-bending performance, and ensure that the pressing force can be effectively transmitted upward. The area of ​​the massage resistance surface 4 is reduced by reducing the diameter of the massage piece 2, thereby improving the massage comfort. The vertical deformation amplitude of the massage piece 2 is increased by providing the annular corrugations 3, thereby ensuring that there is a large distance between the massage resistance surface 4 and the top surface of the base segment 1, thereby preventing the top surface of the base segment 1 from interfering with the massage and improving the user experience.

[0030] In this embodiment, the base section 1 is provided with an air port 7 at the bottom thereof, communicating with the outside world. During use, when air within the bladder is discharged through the air port 7 (as shown in FIG2 ), the base section 1 and the massage element 2 simultaneously contract vertically. Each unit bladder 5 within the base section 1 deflates and contracts vertically, driving the massage element 2 downward. The massage element 2 switches from a raised state to a contracted state, and the massage contact surface 4 moves downward, preparing for another upward movement. When the air port 7 receives air from an external source and delivers it into the bladder (as shown in FIG4 ), the base section 1 and the massage element 2 simultaneously expand vertically. Each unit bladder 5 within the base section 1 inflates and expands vertically, driving the massage element 2 upward. The massage element 2 switches from a contracted state to a raised state, and the massage contact surface 4 rises horizontally, exerting a compressive force on the user. By alternating inflation and deflation, the bladder causes the massage contact surface 4 to rise and fall, thereby providing massage stimulation to the user.

[0031] In this embodiment, the annular corrugation 3 is disposed around the periphery of the massage resistance surface 4 so that the massage resistance surface 4 is concentric with the annular corrugation 3. Because each circumferential segment of the annular corrugation 3 has a balanced vertical deformation stroke, the periphery of the massage resistance surface 4 can be synchronously raised and lowered under the guidance of the corresponding circumferential segment of the annular corrugation 3, ensuring that the massage resistance surface 4 always maintains a horizontal posture, effectively improving the efficiency of the upward transmission of the pressing force.

[0032] In this embodiment, the annular corrugation 3 has a wavy cross-section. The annular corrugation 3 comprises at least two layers and is sequentially expanded and connected along the radial direction of the massage element 2. The inner edge of the internal annular corrugation 3 is connected to the peripheral edge of the massage contact surface 4, and the outer edge of the internal annular corrugation 3 is connected to the inner edge of the external annular corrugation 3, facilitating processing and production. The outer edge of the annular corrugation 3 is connected to the peripheral edge of the top surface of the base segment 1 and forms the top wall of the base segment 1. The outer edge of the external annular corrugation 3 is connected to the peripheral edge of the top surface of the base segment 1, ensuring that the base segment 1 and the massage element 2 are hot-melt bonded to form the capsule.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the massage element 2 is in the retracted state, the annular corrugations 3 and the massage contact surface 4 are at the same level. The annular corrugations 3 can fold when switched to the retracted state, effectively reducing the thickness of the massage element 2. The massage contact surface 4 can also move downward under the guidance of the annular corrugations 3 and be at the same level as the folded annular corrugations 3, effectively reducing the thickness of the massage element 2 and thereby reducing the foreign body sensation caused by the user.

[0034] In this embodiment, the base section 1 includes at least two vertically stacked and interconnected unit cells 5. Preferably, there are three. This allows the massage air cells 9 to meet user requirements by accumulating the vertical deformation strokes of the unit cells 5 when inflated. Furthermore, the annular corrugations 3 can be folded to reduce the thickness of the massage air cells 9 when deflated, effectively eliminating any foreign body sensation. Furthermore, the reduced number of unit cells 5 facilitates manufacturing.

[0035] In this embodiment, the unit capsules 5 comprise two vertically stacked base sheets 6, which are fixedly joined and enclosed by peripheral bonding to form the unit capsules 5. Through holes are provided in the middle of corresponding end surfaces of adjacent unit capsules 5, and the peripheries of the through holes are fixedly bonded by hot-melt bonding. This ensures both a secure connection and a sealed communication between adjacent unit capsules 5, facilitating synchronized deformation.

[0036] It is understandable that the number of annular corrugations 3 on the massage element 2 can be set according to usage requirements and arranged radially in sequence, which should all be regarded as specific implementation methods of this embodiment.

[0037] It can be understood that the number of unit capsules 5 stacked in the base segment 1 can be increased or decreased as needed to meet usage requirements, and all of these should be regarded as specific implementations of this embodiment.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] Compared with the first embodiment, this embodiment provides a massage cushion.

[0040] As shown in Figure 5, a massage cushion consists of a cushion body 8, and the massage airbags 9 are arranged on the cushion body 8. The cushion body 8 is used to position and connect the massage airbags 9 to ensure that the relative positions of adjacent massage airbags 9 are fixed. The cushion body 8 can also control the air pressure of each massage airbag 9 to ensure that the massage airbags 9 form an upward pressing force through inflation and deflation, thereby forming a massage stimulation for the user and improving the massage comfort.

[0041] In this embodiment, the massage airbags 9 are connected in series via an air tube disposed within the cushion body 8. One end of the air tube is connected to an external control box 12, and the other end is connected in series with each massage airbag 9 on the same cushion body 8, so that the air pressure within the massage airbags 9 can be adjusted synchronously. Furthermore, the massage airbags 9 on the same cushion body 8 can be arranged in multiple groups as needed and connected in series via corresponding air tubes, so that each group of massage airbags 9 can operate independently and be used in conjunction with each other, thereby enhancing the massage experience. This should also be considered a specific implementation of this embodiment.

[0042] In this embodiment, the massage airbags 9 are arranged linearly and equidistantly or in a matrix shape, and the user can set it according to needs, which should also be regarded as a specific implementation of this embodiment.

[0043] The structure and effect of the massage airbag described in this embodiment are consistent with those in the first embodiment and will not be described in detail.

[0044] Example 3:

[0045] Compared with the first embodiment, this embodiment provides a mattress.

[0046] As shown in Figure 6, a mattress comprises a main body and an outer cover enclosing the main body. The main body includes, from top to bottom, a comfort layer 10, a massage cushion, and a support layer 11. The massage cushion is provided with the massage airbag 9, and a control box 12 for adjusting the air pressure within the massage airbag 9 is located at the rear of the support layer 11. The massage cushion is arranged between the comfort layer 10 and the support layer 11. The support layer 11 not only provides vertical support for the massage airbag 9, ensuring that the vertical stroke of the massage airbag 9 when inflated is converted into a pressing force against the user, but also utilizes the deformation of the comfort layer 10 to eliminate the foreign body sensation caused by the massage cushion deflation, thereby enhancing the user's lying experience.

[0047] The structure and effect of the massage airbag described in this embodiment are consistent with those in the first embodiment and will not be described in detail.
