Description

A method for controlling a mattress that combines massage to aid sleep and a smart mattress using the same. Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of home furnishings, and more particularly to a method for controlling a mattress with combined massage and sleep aid, and a smart mattress using the same. Background Technology

[0002] Mattresses are an indispensable household item in people's daily lives. In order to improve users' sleep quality and comfort, air springs can be applied to the support layer or massage layer of the mattress. By controlling the inflation or deflation of the air springs through the control system, the firmness of the mattress can be adjusted to improve sleep comfort or provide massage to help sleep and improve sleep quality, so as to meet the sleep needs of different users.

[0003] Existing mattresses still have some problems: 1. Adding an air spring massage layer can cause a feeling of something stuck in the mattress during use, reducing comfort. 2. Most use a single air spring layer with limited massage modes, offering limited improvement in sleep quality. 3. The massage and sleep aid control systems used to control the mattress generally provide fixed massage modes and cannot dynamically adjust the massage and sleep aid modes based on the user's relaxation state during use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the aforementioned problems in the prior art by providing a combined massage and sleep-aid mattress control method and a smart mattress using the same. By controlling the inflation and deflation of multiple layers of air springs with different diameters, the mattress offers various massage modes. These modes can be automatically and dynamically adjusted based on the monitoring results of a relaxation monitoring mode, enabling targeted and effective relaxation and sleep aid for different users or different user states, thus meeting users' personalized massage and relaxation needs. Furthermore, the massage protrusions on each massage layer further enhance the massage, relaxation, and sleep-aid effect. In addition, the various comfort layers and perforated elastic layers help reduce or even eliminate the foreign body sensation caused by the air springs, improving user comfort.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objectives of this invention are mainly achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for controlling a mattress that combines massage to aid sleep, characterized by the following steps:

[0007] S1. Set user parameters and mattress parameters;

[0008] S2. Activate the mattress's massage sleep aid mode to relax and help the user transition from the light relaxation mode's bedtime preparation stage to the deep relaxation mode's sleep stage.

[0009] S3. When the massage sleep aid mode is activated, the relaxation monitoring mode is also activated.

[0010] S4. By monitoring relaxation, determine the user's level of relaxation and switch to the corresponding massage sleep aid mode until the user is detected to be in a sleep state, or has reached the deep relaxation requirement, or has reached the maximum working time for deep relaxation, then end the massage sleep aid mode.

[0011] This technical solution utilizes the adjustability of multiple layers of air springs with varying diameters. By controlling the inflation and deflation sequence and rate of the air springs in different layers and regions, different massage modes can be created, providing a variety of massage effects. Simultaneously, under the monitoring of the relaxation mode, the control system automatically and dynamically adjusts the massage-to-sleep mode, effectively targeting different users or their specific states for relaxation and sleep aid. Users can choose the appropriate massage mode according to their needs or switch between multiple modes to obtain the best personalized massage and relaxation experience, meeting their individual massage and relaxation requirements.

[0012] As a further improvement and supplement to the above technical solution, the present invention adopts the following technical measures: the relaxation monitoring mode includes at least a time monitoring mode and a heart rate monitoring mode. When the time monitoring mode detects that the time has elapsed or the heart rate monitoring mode detects that the heart rate variability (HRV) has reached a certain level, the system switches to the corresponding massage-assisted sleep mode. Monitoring changes in heart rate can provide important information about the user's physical condition. Regardless of whether the heart rate parameter or the time parameter is reached first, the massage-assisted sleep mode is switched on or off.

[0013] Preferably, the massage-assisted sleep mode includes at least one of the following: a mild relaxation mode, a first transitional relaxation mode, a moderate relaxation mode, a second transitional relaxation mode, and a deep relaxation mode. The total working time for each relaxation mode is T1 to T5, respectively. The relaxation-assisted sleep intensity of the first transitional relaxation mode is between that of the mild and moderate relaxation modes, and the relaxation-assisted sleep intensity of the second transitional relaxation mode is between that of the moderate and deep relaxation modes. During the massage-assisted sleep process before sleep, the body's state is monitored through a relaxation monitoring mode, and the corresponding massage-assisted sleep mode is adjusted accordingly. One or multiple relaxation modes can be used.

[0014] Preferably, in step S1, the first HRV threshold is set to Thread_HRV1, and the second HRV threshold is set to Thread_HRV2. Step S2 includes step S200: first, a mild relaxation mode is activated, and the relaxation monitoring mode monitors and acquires the user's relaxation state. If the relaxation monitoring mode detects that the HRV is greater than Thread_HRV1, the massage sleep aid mode switches to a moderate relaxation mode; otherwise, after the relaxation monitoring mode has monitored for a time T1, the massage sleep aid mode switches to a first transitional relaxation mode. If the relaxation monitoring mode detects that the HRV is greater than Thread_HRV2, the massage sleep aid mode switches to a deep relaxation mode; otherwise, after the relaxation monitoring mode has monitored for a time T3, the massage sleep aid mode switches to a second transitional relaxation mode.

[0015] Preferably, the mild relaxation mode is:

[0016] The first diameter air spring layer initiates localized granular massage, with an inflation height of K11×H1max[N], an inflation / deflation frequency of F11 of once every 3~6 seconds, and K11 of 0.25~0.35;

[0017] Keep the second diameter air spring layer in a deflated and flat state, without massaging it, with its inflation height K12=0 and inflation / deflation frequency F12=0;

[0018] The third diameter air spring layer initiates a weak rhythmic massage, with an inflation / deflation height of K13×H3max[N], an inflation / deflation frequency of F13 of once every 6~8 seconds, and K13 of 0.2~0.4.

[0019] Preferably, the first transition relaxation mode is:

[0021] The second diameter air spring layer partially inflates to initiate low-intensity massage. Its inflation height is K22×H2max[N], inflation and deflation frequency F22 is once every 4~7 seconds, and K22 is 0.25~0.35.

[0022] Increase the massage intensity and frequency of the third diameter air spring layer, with its inflation / deflation height being K23×H3max[N], inflation / deflation frequency F23 being once every 5~7 seconds, and K23 being 0.3~0.6.

[0023] Preferably, the moderate relaxation mode is:

[0024] Adjust the massage intensity of the first diameter air spring layer, with its inflation height being K31×H1max[N], inflation / deflation frequency F31 being once every 2~5 seconds, and K31 being 0.75~0.85;

[0025] Adjust the massage intensity of the second diameter air spring layer, with its inflation height being K32×H2max[N], inflation / deflation frequency F32 being once every 3~6 seconds, and K32 being 0.45~0.55;

[0026] Adjust the massage intensity of the third diameter air spring layer, with its inflation / deflation height being K33×H3max[N], inflation / deflation frequency F33 being once every 4~7 seconds, and K33 being 0.4~0.8.

[0027] Preferably, the second transition relaxation mode is:

[0028] Adjust the massage intensity of the first diameter air spring layer, with its inflation height being K41×H1max[N], inflation and deflation frequency F41 being once every 2~5 seconds, and K41 being 0.9~1;

[0029] Adjust the massage intensity of the second diameter air spring layer, with its inflation height being K42×H2max[N], inflation / deflation frequency F42 being once every 3~6 seconds, and K42 being 0.7~0.8;

[0030] Adjust the massage intensity of the third diameter air spring layer, with its inflation / deflation height being K43×H3max[N], inflation / deflation frequency F43 being once every 4~7 seconds, and K43 being 0.4~0.8.

[0031] Preferably, the deep relaxation mode is:

[0032] The first diameter air spring layer is in a deflated and flat state, with its inflation / deflation height K51=0 and inflation / deflation frequency F51=0.

[0033] The second diameter air spring layer is in a deflated and flat state, with its inflation height K52=0 and inflation / deflation frequency F52=0.

[0034] Adjust the massage intensity of the third diameter air spring layer, with its inflation / deflation height being K53×H3max[N], inflation / deflation frequency F53 being once every 6~8 seconds, and K53 being 0.2~0.4.

[0035] The technical solution of the second technical subject of this invention is as follows: a smart mattress, comprising an outer cover, a core disposed in the inner cavity of the outer cover, and a first comfort layer disposed on the upper surface of the core. The core comprises, from bottom to top, a third diameter air spring layer, a second diameter air spring layer, and a first diameter air spring layer. A third inflation / deflation module, a second inflation / deflation module, and a first inflation / deflation module are respectively disposed on the third diameter air spring layer, the second diameter air spring layer, and the first diameter air spring layer. Each of the third, second, and first inflation / deflation modules is communicatively connected to a control system, enabling the control system to control the third, second, and first inflation / deflation modules to inflate and deflate, thus completing the massage and sleep-aiding function of the aforementioned combined massage and sleep-aiding mattress control method.

[0036] To improve user comfort, a second comfort layer and a third comfort layer are respectively provided below the first diameter air spring layer and the second diameter air spring layer.

[0037] To further improve the massage effect and user comfort, the upper surfaces of the first diameter air spring layer, the second diameter air spring layer, and the third diameter air spring layer have a matrix of first massage protrusions, second massage protrusions, and third massage protrusions arranged in rows and columns. The working diameter and working height of the first massage protrusion, the second massage protrusion, and the third massage protrusion increase sequentially. Above the first diameter air spring layer, the second diameter air spring layer, and the third diameter air spring layer, a first diameter perforated elastic layer with a first perforation, a second diameter perforated elastic layer with a second perforation, and a third diameter perforated elastic layer with a third perforation are respectively provided. The perforations on each perforated elastic layer correspond one-to-one with the corresponding massage protrusions.

[0038] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. By utilizing the adjustability of multi-layered air springs of different diameters, different massage modes can be formed and multiple massage effects can be provided by controlling the inflation or deflation sequence and rate of air springs in different layers and different areas of each layer. 2. The massage mode can be automatically and dynamically adjusted according to the monitoring results of the relaxation monitoring mode, which can effectively relax and aid sleep for different users or different user states. Users can choose the appropriate massage mode according to their needs, or switch between multiple modes to obtain the best personalized massage relaxation experience and meet the personalized massage relaxation needs of users. 3. The massage protrusions on each massage layer, in conjunction with the corresponding perforated elastic layer, further enhance the massage relaxation and sleep-aiding effect. 4. The cooperation between each comfort layer, each perforated elastic layer, and the corresponding air spring layer helps to reduce or even avoid the foreign body sensation caused by the air springs, improving user comfort. 5. Each layer of air springs, together with the corresponding comfort layer and perforated elastic layer, forms a mattress module. This modular approach facilitates the combination and stacking of multiple modules according to actual needs, which simplifies the mattress manufacturing process, improves production efficiency, and reduces assembly intensity.

Embodiments of the present invention

[0046] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0047] Example 1: The technical solution of the first technical subject of this invention: a method for controlling a mattress with combined massage for sleep aid, the steps of which include:

[0048] S1. Set user parameters and mattress parameters;

[0049] S2. Activate the mattress's massage sleep aid mode to relax and help the user transition from the light relaxation mode's bedtime preparation stage to the deep relaxation mode's sleep stage.

[0050] S3. When the massage sleep aid mode is activated, the relaxation monitoring mode is also activated.

[0051] S4. By monitoring relaxation, determine the user's level of relaxation and switch to the corresponding massage sleep aid mode until the user is detected to be in a sleep state, or has reached the deep relaxation requirement, or has reached the maximum working time for deep relaxation, then end the massage sleep aid mode.

[0052] The relaxation monitoring mode includes at least a time monitoring mode and a heart rate monitoring mode. When the time monitoring mode detects that the time has been reached or the heart rate monitoring mode detects that the heart rate variability (HRV) has been reached, it will switch to the massage sleep aid mode that corresponds to the massage requirements.

[0053] In step S1, the first HRV threshold is set to Thread_HRV1, and the second HRV threshold is set to Thread_HRV2. Step S2 includes step S200: First, a mild relaxation mode is activated. The relaxation monitoring mode monitors and acquires the user's relaxation state. If the relaxation monitoring mode detects an HRV greater than Thread_HRV1, the massage sleep aid mode switches to a moderate relaxation mode. Otherwise, if the relaxation monitoring mode detects an HRV greater than Thread_HRV2, the massage sleep aid mode switches to a deep relaxation mode. Otherwise, if the relaxation monitoring mode detects an HRV greater than Thread_HRV2, the massage sleep aid mode switches to a deep relaxation mode. Otherwise, if the relaxation monitoring mode detects an HRV greater than Thread_HRV2, the massage sleep aid mode switches to a deep relaxation mode.

[0054] The massage-assisted sleep mode includes at least one of the following: a mild relaxation mode, a first transitional relaxation mode, a moderate relaxation mode, a second transitional relaxation mode, and a deep relaxation mode. The total working time for each relaxation mode is T1 to T5, respectively. That is, the total working time for the mild relaxation mode is T1, the total working time for the first transitional relaxation mode is T2, the total working time for the moderate relaxation mode is T3, the total working time for the second transitional relaxation mode is T4, and the total working time for the deep relaxation mode is T5.

[0055] The relaxation and sleep-inducing intensity of the first transitional relaxation mode is between that of the mild relaxation mode and the moderate relaxation mode, and the relaxation and sleep-inducing intensity of the second transitional relaxation mode is between that of the moderate relaxation mode and the deep relaxation mode.

[0056] The mild relaxation mode is as follows:

[0057] The first diameter air spring layer L202 initiates localized granular massage, with an inflation height of K11×H1max[N], an inflation / deflation frequency F11 of once every 3~6 seconds, and K11 of 0.25~0.35; the second diameter air spring layer L302 is kept in a deflated and flat state, without massage, with an inflation height K12=0 and an inflation / deflation frequency F12=0; the third diameter air spring layer L402 initiates weak rhythmic massage, with an inflation / deflation height of K13×H3max[N], an inflation / deflation frequency F13 of once every 6~8 seconds, and K13 of 0.2~0.4.

[0058] The first transition relaxation mode is:

[0059] Increase the massage intensity and massage area of ​​the first diameter air spring layer L202, with an inflation height of K21 × H1max[N], an inflation / deflation frequency of F21 of 3~6 seconds, and K21 of 0.45~0.55; partially inflate a portion of the second diameter air spring layer L302 to initiate low-intensity massage, with an inflation height of K22 × H2max[N], an inflation / deflation frequency of F22 of 4~7 seconds, and K22 of 0.25~0.35; increase the massage intensity and frequency of the third diameter air spring layer L402, with an inflation / deflation height of K23 × H3max[N], an inflation / deflation frequency of F23 of 5~7 seconds, and K23 of 0.3~0.6.

[0060] The moderate relaxation mode is as follows:

[0061] Adjust the massage intensity of the first diameter air spring layer L202, with an inflation height of K31×H1max[N], an inflation / deflation frequency of F31 of once every 2~5 seconds, and K31 of 0.75~0.85; adjust the massage intensity of the second diameter air spring layer L302, with an inflation height of K32×H2max[N], an inflation / deflation frequency of F32 of once every 3~6 seconds, and K32 of 0.45~0.55; adjust the massage intensity of the third diameter air spring layer L402, with an inflation / deflation height of K33×H3max[N], an inflation / deflation frequency of F33 of once every 4~7 seconds, and K33 of 0.4~0.8.

[0062] The second transitional relaxation mode is:

[0063] Adjust the massage intensity of the first diameter air spring layer L202, with an inflation height of K41×H1max[N], an inflation / deflation frequency of F41 of 2~5 seconds, and K41 of 0.9~1; adjust the massage intensity of the second diameter air spring layer L302, with an inflation height of K42×H2max[N], an inflation / deflation frequency of F42 of 3~6 seconds, and K42 of 0.7~0.8; adjust the massage intensity of the third diameter air spring layer L402, with an inflation / deflation height of K43×H3max[N], an inflation / deflation frequency of F43 of 4~7 seconds, and K43 of 0.4~0.8.

[0064] The deep relaxation mode is as follows:

[0065] The first diameter air spring layer L202 is in a deflated and flat state, with an inflation / deflation height K51=0 and an inflation / deflation frequency F51=0; the second diameter air spring layer L302 is in a deflated and flat state, with an inflation height K52=0 and an inflation / deflation frequency F52=0; the massage intensity of the third diameter air spring layer L402 is adjusted, with an inflation / deflation height of K53×H3max[N], an inflation / deflation frequency F53 of once every 6~8 seconds, and K53 of 0.2~0.4.

[0066] The intelligent bed control system L70 used to implement the combined massage sleep aid mattress control method described in this embodiment is also within the protection scope of this invention.

[0067] As shown in Figure 1, a further detailed implementation method for the above-mentioned combined massage-assisted sleep mattress control method is provided:

[0068] S100: User and Mattress Parameter Setting

[0069] After the system is powered on, the user and mattress operating parameters are set through the user interaction unit L80. User parameters include, but are not limited to: gender, age, height, weight, etc.; mattress operating parameters include, but are not limited to: maximum inflation height of the first air spring zone H1max[N], maximum inflation height of the second air spring zone H2max[N], maximum inflation height of the third air spring zone H3max[N], where N represents the number of air spring zones in each layer, and the total massage and relaxation time for each stage T1~T5, etc. Jump to S200.

[0070] S200: Activates the light relaxation mode, using the relaxation monitor L601 to periodically acquire and analyze the user's relaxation state. The working process of the light relaxation mode is as follows:

[0071] Adjust the first diameter air spring layer L202: activate localized granular massage to provide a gentle touch and relieve tension on the body surface. Localized granular massage can specifically stimulate muscles on the body surface, promote blood circulation, and relieve fatigue; adjust the parameters of the first diameter air spring layer L202: inflation / deflation height K11×H1max[N], K11 is preferably around 30%, inflation / deflation frequency F11 is preferably once every 3~6 seconds, and the massage area is locally adjusted according to user needs. Under the action of the first diameter air spring layer L202, the user feels a gentle massage on the mattress surface, which helps to further relax the body; keep the second diameter air spring layer L302 in a deflated and flat state, without massage (K12=0), to maintain the overall flatness and comfort of the mattress; adjust the third diameter air spring layer L402: inflate to a low pressure and maintain a stable weak rhythmic inflation / deflation to provide gentle support and a soothing relaxation. The parameters of the third-diameter air spring layer L402 are: inflation / deflation height approximately K13 × H3max [N], where K13 is preferably 20-40%, and inflation / deflation frequency F13 is preferably once every 6-8 seconds. Appropriate inflation pressure and frequency help simulate the natural breathing rhythm of the human body, promoting relaxation. Under the action of the third-diameter air spring layer L402, the user feels the slight undulation of the mattress, which helps to relax the mind and enter a state of mild relaxation.

[0072] Generally, the upper airbags operate more frequently than the lower airbags, and this is also true for the later modes.

[0073] In the specific implementation process, under a slightly relaxed state, the first diameter air spring layer L202 initiates a granular massage with an intensity of K11×H1max[N] in the waist and shoulder areas, with an inflation / deflation frequency of F11; the second diameter air spring layer L302 is not activated; the third diameter air spring layer L402 maintains a stable K13×H3max[N] weak rhythmic inflation / deflation, with an inflation / deflation frequency of F13. The relaxation monitor L601 acquires and analyzes the user's relaxation state at regular intervals, preferably every 1 minute.

[0074] The heart rate monitoring mode uses the relaxation monitor L601 to acquire the user's heart rate frequency at regular intervals. This frequency typically represents the number of heartbeats per minute, reflecting the heart's activity level. Changes in heart rate during sleep can provide important information about the user's physical state. This heart rate data is transmitted to an algorithm for processing and converted into heart rate variability (HRV), which is the variation in the time interval between consecutive heartbeats. HRV is an important indicator reflecting the activity of the autonomic nervous system (especially the parasympathetic nervous system). By analyzing HRV, we can assess the user's relaxation state. Generally, a higher HRV indicates stronger parasympathetic nervous system activity, which is usually associated with relaxation, rest, or digestion. Conversely, a lower HRV may indicate increased sympathetic nervous system activity, a sign of increased stress or tension. Therefore, by monitoring and analyzing the user's heart rate variability during sleep, we can effectively assess their relaxation state. Set the moderate relaxation HRV threshold Thread_HRV1 and the deep relaxation HRV threshold Thread_HRV2, then jump to S300.

[0075] S300: Determining if HRV is greater than Thread_HRV1

[0076] If the HRV obtained periodically by the relaxation monitor L601 is greater than Thread_HRV1, it indicates that the user has entered a moderate relaxation state, and the process jumps to S600. Otherwise, it jumps to S400.

[0077] S400: Judgment based on the total working time T1 in the mild relaxation mode.

[0078] If the total working time in the mild relaxation mode reaches T1, jump to S500; otherwise, jump to S200 to continue execution.

[0079] S500: Activate the first transition relaxation mode, which is the working mode that transitions from mild relaxation to moderate relaxation. Its working process is as follows: Adjust the first diameter air spring layer L202: inflation / deflation height K21×H1max[N], K21>K11, K21 is preferably 0.5, inflation / deflation frequency F21 is preferably once every 3~6 seconds, increasing the massage area and intensity to further enhance the relaxation effect; Adjust the second diameter air spring layer L302: partially inflate, initiating low-intensity massage to provide a more comprehensive relaxation effect. Parameters of the second diameter air spring layer L302: inflation / deflation height approximately K22×H2max[N], K22 is preferably 0.3, inflation / deflation frequency F22 is preferably once every 4~7 seconds, and the massage area is adjusted according to user needs; Adjust the third diameter air spring layer L402: appropriately increase the inflation pressure and increase the inflation / deflation frequency to provide more stable support and a slightly stronger rhythmic feel. The parameters of the third diameter air spring layer L402 are: inflation / deflation height approximately K23×H3max[N], K23>K13, K23 is preferably 0.3~0.6, inflation / deflation frequency F23 is preferably once every 6~8 seconds. As the relaxation level deepens, appropriately increasing the inflation pressure and inflation / deflation frequency can better adapt to the body's relaxation needs. When the total working time of the first transition relaxation mode reaches T2, it jumps to S600. During the working process of the first transition relaxation mode: the intensity K becomes higher compared with the light relaxation working mode, and the frequency F remains basically unchanged.

[0080] In practice: during the transition from mild to moderate intensity, the first diameter air spring layer L202 increases the granular massage intensity to K21×H1max[N] and expands it to multiple areas of the whole body; the second diameter air spring layer L302 initiates an inflation and deflation massage at an intensity of approximately K22×H2max[N] in the back and leg areas; the third diameter air spring layer L402 maintains a stable K23×H3max[N] rhythmic inflation and deflation, with an inflation and deflation frequency of F23.

[0081] S600: Activate the medium relaxation mode. The relaxation monitor L601 acquires and analyzes the user's relaxation state at regular intervals. The working process is as follows: Adjust the first diameter air spring layer L202: inflation / deflation height K31×H1max[N], K31>K21. K31 is preferably 0.8, and the inflation / deflation frequency F31 is preferably once every 2-5 seconds, F31>F21, to achieve the best granular massage relaxation effect; Adjust the second diameter air spring layer L302: inflation / deflation height approximately K32×H2max[N] fully inflated, K32>K22, K32 is preferably 0.5, and the inflation / deflation frequency F32 is preferably once every 3-6 seconds, F32>F22, to perform a medium-intensity massage to deeply relax muscles and relieve fatigue; Maintain the third diameter air spring layer L402 with a high inflation pressure and maintain a stable rhythmic inflation / deflation to provide solid support and a comfortable relaxation feeling. That is, the inflation / deflation height is approximately K33×H3max[N], K33 > K23, K33 is preferably 0.4~0.8, and the inflation / deflation frequency F33 is preferably once every 4-7 seconds, F33 > F23; that is, in the moderate relaxation working mode, the intensity K and frequency F are higher than in the previous mode. In the moderate relaxation state, the first diameter air spring layer L202 increases the granular massage intensity to K31×H1max[N] and expands to multiple areas of the whole body; the second diameter air spring layer L302 starts the massage intensity of approximately K32×H2max[N] in the whole body area; the third diameter air spring layer L402 maintains a stable K33×H3max[N] rhythmic inflation / deflation, with an inflation / deflation frequency of F33. Furthermore, the relaxation monitor L601 acquires and analyzes the user's relaxation state at regular intervals, and jumps to S700.

[0082] S700: HRV greater than Thread_HRV2 determination

[0083] If the HRV obtained periodically by the relaxation monitor L601 is greater than Thread_HRV2, it indicates that the user has entered a deep relaxation state, and the process jumps to S1000. Otherwise, it jumps to S800.

[0084] S800: Judgment based on total working time T3 at moderate relaxation level.

[0085] If the total working time in the moderate relaxation mode reaches T3, jump to S900; otherwise, jump to S600 to continue execution.

[0086] S900: Activate the second transition relaxation mode, which is the transition working mode from moderate relaxation to deep relaxation. Its working process is as follows: Adjust the first diameter air spring layer L202: Inflate / deflate height K41×H1max[N] to fully activate the granular massage, with K41 preferably being 1, to provide a more comprehensive relaxation experience; Increase the massage intensity of the second diameter air spring layer L302, inflate / deflate height approximately K42×H2max[N] to fully inflate, with K42 preferably being 0.8, to further promote deep relaxation and relieve muscle tension; Adjust the third diameter air spring layer L402: Maintain high inflation pressure and inflation / deflate frequency, inflation / deflate height K43×H3max[N], with K43 preferably being 0.4~0.8, to ensure stable support and continuous relaxation effect; When the total working time of the second transition relaxation mode reaches T4, jump to S1000; During the working process of the second transition relaxation mode, the intensity K becomes higher compared to the moderate relaxation mode, while the frequency F remains unchanged. In practice, when transitioning to deep relaxation, the first diameter air spring layer L202 fully activates the granular massage; the second diameter air spring layer L302 increases the massage intensity to 80%; and the third diameter air spring layer L402 maintains high inflation pressure and inflation / deflation frequency.

[0087] S1000: Activate the deep relaxation mode of the mattress. The relaxation monitor L601 periodically acquires and analyzes the user's sleep state. Its operation is as follows: The first diameter air spring layer L202 is kept in a deflated and flat state without massage (K51=0, F51=0) to avoid disturbing the user's deep sleep; the second diameter air spring layer L302 is kept in a deflated and flat state without massage (K52=0, F52=0) to help the user maintain a deep sleep state; the third diameter air spring layer L402 maintains a stable inflation pressure and inflation / deflation frequency, with an inflation / deflation height of approximately K53×H3max[N]. K53 is preferably 0.2~0.4, and the inflation / deflation frequency F53 is preferably once every 6~8 seconds, consistent with the light relaxation mode, ensuring the user remains comfortable and stable during deep sleep. That is, in the deep relaxation state, the first diameter air spring layer L202 and the second diameter air spring layer L302 remain in a deflated and flat state; the third diameter air spring layer L402 maintains a stable inflation pressure and inflation / deflation frequency. Furthermore, by periodically acquiring and analyzing the user's sleep state through the relaxation monitor L601, the process jumps to S1100.

[0088] S1100: Detection of falling asleep or the total working time of deep relaxation has reached the judgment: If the user is detected to be in a state of falling asleep or the total working time of deep relaxation has reached T5, stop the operation of each air spring layer; otherwise, jump to S1000 to continue execution.

[0089] In summary, the L70 mattress control system and method utilize a multi-layered combination of air springs to achieve support adjustment and a massage relaxation experience. Through the combination of the bottom support air springs and the middle and upper massage air springs, it provides an effective mattress firmness adjustment experience and a personalized massage-assisted sleep experience, while ensuring the mattress's flatness and breathability. This makes the technical solution highly comfortable and adaptable, meeting people's needs for comfortable sleep and massage while providing a better sleep experience and health protection. Due to the advanced, innovative, and practical nature of this technical solution, it can meet market demands and provide a better user experience.

[0090] As shown in Figure 2, the intelligent bed control system L70 includes a control unit and / or a user interaction unit L80 communicatively connected to the control unit. The control unit executes the combined massage sleep-aiding mattress control method to complete the combined massage sleep-aiding work. The control unit includes a one-button control unit L700, a relaxation monitoring unit L60 that interacts with the one-button control unit L700, a first diameter air spring layer control unit L701, a second diameter air spring layer control unit L702, and a third diameter air spring layer control unit L703. The first inflation / deflation module L203, the second inflation / deflation module L303, and the third inflation / deflation module L403, which are signal-interacting with the second diameter air spring layer control unit L702 and the third diameter air spring layer control unit L703, are respectively connected to the first diameter air spring layer L202, the second diameter air spring layer L302, and the third diameter air spring layer L402 via air pipes, and are used to perform inflation or deflation operations on the first diameter air spring layer L202, the second diameter air spring layer L302, and the third diameter air spring layer L402.

[0091] The relaxation monitoring unit L60 is connected to the control system unit L70 via the communication connection line L600. The relaxation monitoring unit L60 mainly provides relaxation monitoring data of the mattress user, including but not limited to breathing, heart rate, body movement, sleep status, etc. The relaxation monitor L601 includes but is not limited to piezoelectric film sensing strip, light sensing strip, radar monitor, etc.

[0092] The one-button control unit L700 is responsible for the input / output control, algorithm analysis, data storage, and communication interaction of the entire control system L70. The first diameter air spring layer control unit L701 collects the air pressure status within the first diameter air spring layer L202 of the mattress and inputs it to the one-button control unit L700. Simultaneously, it receives the output from the one-button control unit L700 and drives the corresponding air path solenoid valves and air pump units in the first inflation / deflation module L203 to control the inflation or deflation of the first diameter air spring layer L202. The second diameter air spring layer control unit L702 collects the air pressure status within the second diameter air spring layer L302 of the mattress and inputs it to the one-button control unit L700. Simultaneously, it receives the output from the one-button control unit L700 and drives the corresponding air path solenoid valves and air pump units in the second inflation / deflation module L303 to control the inflation or deflation of the second diameter air spring layer L302. The third diameter air spring layer control unit L703 collects the air pressure status inside the third diameter air spring layer L402 of the mattress and inputs it to the one-button control unit L700. At the same time, it receives the output of the one-button control unit L700 and drives the corresponding air circuit solenoid valve and air pump unit in the third inflation / deflation module L403 to be responsible for inflating or deflating the third diameter air spring layer L402.

[0093] The control system L70 controls the inflation or deflation of the first diameter air spring layer L202, the second diameter air spring layer L302, and the third diameter air spring layer L402, respectively, so that the first diameter air spring layer L202 provides the user with a first massage sleep aid effect, the second diameter air spring layer L302 provides the user with a second massage sleep aid effect, and the third diameter air spring layer L402 provides the user with a third support adjustment massage sleep aid effect.

[0094] Example 2: As shown in Figure 3, the technical solution of the second technical subject involved in this invention is as follows:

[0095] A smart mattress includes an outer cover, a mattress core disposed within the inner cavity of the outer cover, and a first comfort layer L200 disposed on the upper surface of the mattress core. In this embodiment, the outer cover includes an openable and closable upper quilted outer cover L10 and a lower quilted outer cover L50. The upper quilted outer cover L10 is located on the top layer of the mattress and mainly provides the mattress with subdivided wrap-around pressure relief support and aesthetic effect, and is connected to the bottom quilted unit of the mattress cover via a zipper or sewing process.

[0096] The difference between this technical solution and the prior art is that the mattress core includes a third diameter air spring layer L402, a second diameter air spring layer L302, and a first diameter air spring layer L202 stacked from bottom to top. A third inflation / deflation module L403, a second inflation / deflation module L303, and a first inflation / deflation module L203 are respectively disposed on the third diameter air spring layer L402, the second diameter air spring layer L302, and the first diameter air spring layer L202. Each of these modules is communicatively connected to a control system L70, enabling the control system L70 to control the inflation / deflation of the third inflation / deflation module L403, the second inflation / deflation module L303, and the first inflation / deflation module L203 to perform the massage and sleep-aiding function of the combined massage and sleep-aiding mattress control method described in Embodiment 1. The control system L70 is the intelligent bed control system L70 described in Embodiment 1.

[0097] The upper surfaces of the first diameter air spring layer L202, the second diameter air spring layer L302, and the third diameter air spring layer L402 have a plurality of first massage protrusions L2020, second massage protrusions L3020, and third massage protrusions L4020 arranged in a matrix of rows and columns. The working diameter and working height of the first massage protrusions L2020, second massage protrusions L3020, and third massage protrusions L4020 increase sequentially. That is, the working diameter and working height of the massage protrusions on the second diameter air spring layer L302 are greater than those on the first diameter air spring layer L202; and the working diameter and working height of the massage protrusions on the third diameter air spring layer L402 are greater than those on the second diameter air spring layer L302.

[0098] Above the first diameter air spring layer L202, the second diameter air spring layer L302, and the third diameter air spring layer L402, there are respectively a first diameter perforated elastic layer L201 with a first perforation L2010, a second diameter perforated elastic layer L301 with a second perforation L3010, and a third diameter perforated elastic layer L401 with a third perforation L4010. The perforations on each perforated elastic layer correspond one-to-one with the corresponding massage protrusions.

[0099] To improve comfort and reduce the feeling of foreign objects in the air spring layers, a second comfort layer L300 and a third comfort layer L400 are respectively provided below the first diameter air spring layer L202 and the second diameter air spring layer L302. Specifically, the first comfort layer L200 is located between the first diameter perforated elastic layer L201 and the upper quilted cover L10; the second comfort layer L301 is located between the second diameter perforated elastic layer L301 and the first diameter air spring layer L202; and the third comfort layer L401 is located between the third diameter perforated elastic layer L401 and the second diameter air spring layer L302. Each comfort layer also provides the pressure relief comfort resulting from the inflation and deflation of the air spring layers. These comfort layers include, but are not limited to, latex, memory foam, air fibers, or sponge. The materials and thicknesses of each comfort layer are adapted to the air spring layers to achieve a more ideal inflation and deflation pressure relief comfort.

[0100] To further optimize the above technical solution, the first perforation L2010 is a perforation with a central circular hole and a cross-shaped perimeter (as shown by L2010-A in Figure 4). When the first diameter air spring layer L202 is in the deflated state, the first massage protrusion L2020 (as shown by L2020-A in Figure 4) is hidden in the first perforation L2010, making the upper surface of the first diameter perforated elastic layer L201 flat (as shown by L2010-B in Figure 4). When the first diameter air spring layer L202 is in the inflated state, the first massage protrusion L2020 protrudes upward, forming a pagoda shape (as shown by L2020-B in Figure 4), with a bottom diameter of 4cm~8cm and a height of 3cm~5cm, causing the periphery of the first perforation L2010 to curve upward (as shown by L2010-C in Figure 3).

[0101] The second massage protrusion L3020 is placed in the second hole L3010, the size of which is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the second massage protrusion L3020. When the second massage protrusion L3020 protrudes upward (as shown by L3020-B in Figure 5), it protrudes above the second diameter hole elastic layer L301. When the second massage protrusion L3020 is in the deflated state, it adheres to the upper surface of the second diameter air spring layer L302 (as shown by L3020-A in Figure 5). The bottom diameter of the second massage protrusion L3020 is 6cm~10cm, and the inflation height is 5cm~8cm.

[0102] The third massage protrusion L4020 is placed in the third hole L4010, and the size of the third hole L4010 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the third massage protrusion L4020. When the third massage protrusion L4020 is in the deflated state, it is placed in the third hole L4010, and the height of the third massage protrusion L4020 is slightly larger than the thickness of the elastic layer L401 with the third diameter hole (as shown by L4020-A in Figure 6). When inflated, the third massage protrudes upward and above the elastic layer L401 with the third diameter hole (as shown by L4020-B in Figure 6). The bottom diameter of the third massage protrusion L4020 is 8cm~14cm, and the inflation height is 6cm~14cm.

[0103] The first comfort layer L200, the first diameter perforated elastic layer L201, and the first diameter air spring layer L202 are modularly arranged to form the first module L20. The second comfort layer L300, the second diameter perforated elastic layer L301, and the second diameter air spring layer L302 are modularly arranged to form the second module L30. The third comfort layer L400, the third diameter perforated elastic layer L401, and the third diameter air spring layer L402 are modularly arranged to form the third module L40. The modules are detachably connected, including but not limited to, via zippers or other means.

[0104] Furthermore, in order for the mattress to cover and support the human body's shoulders, back, waist, hips, and legs, the third diameter air spring layer L402, the second diameter air spring layer L302, and the first diameter air spring layer L202 are arranged in zones corresponding to the shoulders, back, waist, hips, and legs to meet the different needs of these areas.

[0105] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in a further preferred embodiment, the smart mattress is also equipped with a relaxation monitor L601 that is connected to the control system L70 via a communication connection line L600. The relaxation monitor L601 is located on the third comfort layer L400. The relaxation monitor L601 is long and narrow, placed along the width of the smart mattress, and corresponds to the position of the heart of the human body when the user lies on the mattress.

[0106] Further preferably, the control system L70 is housed in a control box, which can be installed inside or outside the mattress. The control box can also be equipped with a user interaction unit L80, primarily providing users with interactive operations for the control system L70, including but not limited to an app, WeChat mini-program, and remote control. The user interaction unit L80 can connect to the control system L70 via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or infrared.

[0107] This mattress utilizes a multi-layered air spring system with varying diameters and heights: larger diameter and height air springs are placed at the bottom to provide overall support, while smaller diameter and height air springs are placed on the upper layers or in specific areas to offer more detailed and focused support and massage. Air springs are arranged in rows for the shoulders, back, waist, hips, and legs, ensuring sufficient adjustment coverage and creating localized adjustment zones. The air springs are arranged in three layers: the upper layer provides localized inflation and deflation massage and is in a deflated, flat state when not in use; the middle layer provides enhanced inflation and deflation massage and is also in a deflated, flat state when not in use; and the lower layer provides adjustable elastic support and maintains pressure when not in use. Utilizing the adjustability of the layered air springs, the inflation volume of each layer can be dynamically adjusted according to the user's body type, weight, and preferences to achieve a personalized support and massage experience. Simultaneously, the L601 relaxation monitor and L70 control system can detect the user's massage relaxation state in real time and automatically adjust the inflation and deflation of the air springs to provide the best massage and sleep-aiding effect. Based on a multi-layered air spring design, it can also provide various massage modes that single-layer air springs cannot achieve. By controlling the inflation and deflation sequence and rate of different layers and areas of the air springs, different massage effects can be simulated. Users can choose the appropriate massage mode according to their needs or switch between multiple modes to obtain the best comfort and relaxation effect. Through the above combination, multi-layered air springs of different diameters and heights can effectively adapt the massage to the needs of the human body, providing users with a more comfortable, healthy, and personalized sleep experience. Furthermore, with continuous technological advancements and innovation, future massage mattresses will achieve even greater breakthroughs and improvements in massage effects and user experience.
