Mesh Air Bubble Massage Mat for Uniform Warm Bubble Flow
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing air bubble massage devices suffer from bubble size inconsistencies, heat loss, and inconvenience during transportation and storage, leading to suboptimal user experience and potential equipment damage.
Innovation Solution
The air bubble massage mat features a cushion cover made of mesh cloth with grids that cuts large bubbles into smaller, denser bubbles, maintaining uniform water temperature and enhancing comfort through temperature retention and reduced heat loss, while being easy to clean and store.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If air holes are provided on the bubble cushion to generate bubbles, then the massage effect is improved, but the bubble size is not suitable for different bathtub sizes and the equipment is prone to damage during storage and transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The cushion cover is divided into a top layer and a bottom layer, both made of mesh cloth with grids. This segmentation allows the bubble cushion to be flexible and adaptable to different bathtub sizes while maintaining the massage effect through the grid structure that creates dense bubbles.
2Quantity of substance
If air is delivered through the delivery pipe to the spa mat, then the bubble generation is improved, but the bubbles have heat loss and lower temperature than water, reducing comfort
Solution Approach 1:
The mesh cloth cushion cover acts as an intermediary between the air bubbles and the water. The grids of the mesh cloth cut the bubbles into smaller, denser bubbles that remain in the water longer, allowing them to reach thermal equilibrium with the water temperature, thus improving comfort.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a solid bubble cushion is used, then the structure is stable, but it is inconvenient to clean and store
Solution Approach 1:
The cushion cover is made of flexible mesh cloth that can be easily removed, folded, and stored. The mesh structure allows for easy cleaning while maintaining the structural stability needed for effective bubble generation and massage.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides a comfortable and effective massage experience by generating uniform temperature bubbles, reducing heat loss, and facilitating easy storage and cleaning, thus improving user satisfaction and extending the device's lifespan.
Implementation Method 1
the air delivered by the air supply delivers air to the air bubble massage mat through the delivery pipe, the temperature of the bubbles generated in the water has a uniform temperature effect on the bubbles due to the presence of the cushion cover
Implementation Method 2
When the cushion cover is in a warm water environment, the cushion cover can retain the maximum human body temperature, so the cushion cover is capable of storing temperature
Implementation Method 3
the cushion cover is stacked by mesh cloth with different soft material and hard materials, and the mesh cloth with soft materials has permeability characteristics, which can even out the temperatures of bubbles and water
Implementation Method 4
the cushion cover is also capable of delaying the time of lowering the local water temperature, so the local cooling rate in contact with the human body can be delayed

AI summary
An air bubble massage mat is provided which includes a cushion cover having a top layer and a bottom layer, the top layer and the bottom layer are joined together to form an accommodation space therebetween, and the top layer and the bottom layer are a mesh cloth with grids respectively. An air bubble massage system using the air bubble massage mat is provided, the regulator is provided for controlling the air delivered by the air supply to enter the flexible tubes through the delivery pipe, the control valve assembly, the gas channels, and the gas through holes to generate the first bubbles through the blowholes on the wall of the flexible tubes, and then the first bubbles is cut into the second bubbles through the grids of the top layer of the cushion cover, in which the size of first bubbles is larger than that of the second bubbles.
