As an appliance providing buffering pressure, airbag cushions are widely used in a variety of products, for example, such buffering cushions as bag shoulder straps, seat cushions, back cushions, mattresses, and shoe insoles can buffer the pressure on contact sites of users.
However, as to the existing airbag cushion, after gas enters an airbag of the airbag cushion, a part of the gas will slowly leak to the outside through an air inlet port, therefore, slow air leakage occurs to the whole airbag cushion, then after the cushion is used by users for a certain period of time, gas inside the airbag is insufficient, then air inflation is required again, thereby leading to inconvenience in use.
The existing one-way air admittance member is provided with an air inlet portion and an air outlet portion, wherein the air inlet portion is configured to receive gas from a ventilated airway of a first airbag, the air outlet portion is communicated to the air inlet portion and the second airbag, and the air outlet portion is suspended inside the second airbag and is in a closed state in an unvented state to prevent gas inside the second airbag from flowing back to the first airbag. However, the inventor has found that in the step of attaching the one-way air admittance member to an upper cushion body and a lower cushion body, the air outlet portion of the one-way air admittance member is easily deformed and bent, then the air outlet portion droops and bends relative to the air inlet portion, such that when the airbag cushion is inflated, gas cannot smoothly enter the bent air outlet portion after entering the air inlet portion, thereby resulting in a failure in inflation, and leading to inconvenience in use.
The solution of the present invention provides a cushion airbag pad which is smoothly inflated and convenient to use.

The cushion body 201 includes a pad body 206 formed on a plane and a plurality of airways 203 and a plurality of airbags 205 communicated through the plurality of airways 203. The plurality of airways 203 and the plurality of airbags 205 are formed on the pad body 206. the pad body isolates the plurality of airbags and the plurality of airways from the outside. The airbag auxiliary component 100 is communicated with the plurality of airbags 205 to control air inlet and air outlet of the plurality of airbags 205. The plurality of airways 203 and the plurality of airbags 205 are bulged.
In the present embodiment, the cushion body 201 further includes an upper cushion body 207 and a lower cushion body 209, wherein the upper cushion body 207 is formed with a plurality of airways 203 and a plurality of airbags 205 distributed in stipulated shapes, the lower cushion body 209 is joined to the portion, not formed with the plurality of airways 203 and the plurality of airbags 205, of the upper cushion body 207, such that the plurality of airways 203 and the plurality of airbags 205 are formed by attaching and sealing the upper cushion body 207 and lower cushion body 209.

The air inlet assembly 10 is configured to unidirectionally inflate external gas into the plurality of airbags 205, and the air outlet assembly 80 is configured to discharge gas from the plurality of airbags 205 to the outside. The air inlet assembly 10 is communicated with adjacent airbags 205 in the plurality of airbags 205 through at least one ventilated airway 203, with a function of pressing gas into the plurality of airbags 205 of the cushion body 201 from the outside. The air outlet assembly 80 is communicated with the adjacent airbags 205 respectively through at least one ventilated airway 203, with a function of releasing gas from the plurality of airbags 205 of the cushion body 201. The air inlet assembly 10 is not directly communicated with the air outlet assembly 80, but rather is connected and communicated with the air outlet assembly 80 through connecting in series with the plurality of airbags 205 and the plurality of airways 203.
Continue referring to
The air inlet assembly 10 is provided with an air inlet port 1, an air inlet airbag 2, an air inlet airway 3, a gas diffusion airbag 4, and a one-way air admittance member 6. The air inlet airbag 2, the gas diffusion airbag 4, and the air inlet airway 3 are bulged.
The air inlet airbag 2 allows external gas to enter the plurality of airbags 205. An air inlet port 1 is formed on one side of the air inlet airbag 2, the air inlet port 1 is communicated to the outside, an air inlet airway 3 is arranged on the other side, communicated with the gas diffusion airbag 4, of the air inlet airbag 2, such that the air inlet airbag 2 is communicated with the gas diffusion airbag 4, and further the air inlet airway 3 is communicated with the air inlet port 1. The air inlet airbag 2 may contain an elastomer 21 and an air inlet valve (not shown in the figures). The elastomer 21 supports the air inlet airbag 2 to bulge in a natural state, such that gas enters and fills the air inlet airbag 2 via the air inlet port 1. When the air inlet airbag 2 is pressed, the air inlet valve is a check valve, thereby preventing gas from leaking outwards, and at this time, under the effect of a difference in air pressure, gas inside the air inlet airbag 2 enters the gas diffusion airbag 4 via the air inlet airway 3, and then the air inlet airbag 2 is released, and under the elastic resetting effect of the elastomer 21, the elastomer 21 supports the air inlet airbag 2 to reset, at this time, under the effect of a difference in air pressure, when gas is sucked into the air inlet airbag 2 via the air inlet port 1, the one-way air admittance member 6 prevents gas in the gas diffusion airbag 4 from being sucked into the air inlet airbag 2. By repeatedly pressing and releasing the air inlet airbag 2, the cushion body 201 can be inflated. It can be understood that the elastomer 21 can be any one of a sponge body, a plastic body, a spring, a rubber, a silicone, as long as it is an elastic component. Furthermore, an air inlet valve can also be replaced, and any composition can be available as long as gas in the air inlet airbag 2 does not leak outside. Further, the elastomer 21 can also be replaced, and any composition can be available as long as gas can be supplied to the air inlet airbag 2.
The gas diffusion airbag 4 is configured to diffuse gas in the gas diffusion airbag 4 to a plurality of other airbags 205, and the gas diffusion airbag 4 is communicated with the air inlet airbag 2 via the air inlet airway 3 as described above, and is respectively communicated to the adjacent airbags 205 via the at least one ventilated airway 203.
The one-way air admittance member 6 is sandwiched between the upper cushion body 207 and the lower cushion body 209 of the cushion airbag pad 200, and is arranged across the gas diffusion airbag 4 to provide a one-way air admittance channel 60 from the air inlet airbag 2 towards the gas diffusion airbag 4. Two opposite ends of the one-way air admittance member 6 are mounted to the gas diffusion airbag 4. In the present embodiment, one end of the one-way air admittance member 6 is mounted at a position at which the air inlet airbag 2 is connected to the gas diffusion airbag 4 (i.e., the air inlet airway 3), and the other end is mounted to a peripheral edge, opposite to the air inlet airbag 2, of the gas diffusion airbag 4 (i.e., the position at which the gas diffusion airbag 4 is connected to the adjacent and communicated airbags 205).
As shown in
The structure of the one-way air admittance member 6 is for example as shown in
The one-way air admittance member 6 is a pocket-like structure, with one side open and the remaining sides sealed. The one open side of the one-way air admittance member 6 is formed with an opening 601 and the opening 601 is communicated with the inside, a one-way air admittance channel 60 is formed inside the one-way air admittance member 6. An end, communicated with the opening 601, of the one-way air admittance channel 60 is provided with an air inlet portion 63, and an end, away from the opening 601, of the one-way air admittance channel 60 is provided with a fixing portion 67, and an air outlet portion 65 is formed between the air inlet portion 63 and the fixing portion 67. The opening 601 of the air inlet portion 63 is communicated with the air inlet airbag 2 and the air inlet port 1. An air outlet port 651 is formed to penetrate through the air outlet portion 65, and the air outlet port 651 is communicated with the gas diffusion airbag 4 and is communicated with the opening 601 in the one-way air admittance channel 60. When the one-way air admittance channel 60 is open, the upper sheet 61 and the lower sheet 62 of the air inlet portion 63 and the air outlet portion 65 are separated and the air inlet portion 63 and the air outlet portion 65 are communicated, such that the opening 601 is communicated with the air outlet port 651; on the other hand, when the one-way air admittance channel 60 is closed, the upper sheet 61 and the lower sheet 62 of the air inlet portion 63 and the air outlet portion 65 are adsorbed against each other and are not communicated, such that the opening 601 is not communicated with the air outlet port 651.
The air inlet portion 63 is arranged at least in the air inlet airway 3 and is always in an open state. It can be understood that the air inlet portion 63 may also be in a closed state, and may be designed according to actual needs.
The air inlet portion 63 is mounted at a position at which the air inlet airbag 2 is connected to the gas diffusion airbag 4 (i.e., the position of the air inlet airway 3), and the opening 601 is open towards the air inlet airbag 2 and is communicated with the air inlet airbag 2.
The fixing portion 67 is mounted on a peripheral edge, opposite to the air inlet airbag 2, of the gas diffusion airbag 4, i.e., the peripheral edge away from the air inlet airbag 2. In addition, when the peripheral edge, opposite to the air inlet airbag 2, of the gas diffusion airbag 4 is connected to the other airbag 205, the fixing portion 67 may be mounted at a position at which the gas diffusion airbag 4 is connected to the other airbag 205 (i.e., the position of the ventilated airway 203 between the gas diffusion airbag 4 and the other airbag 205). The air outlet portion 65 is accommodated in the gas diffusion airbag 4, such that the air outlet port 651 is suspended in the gas diffusion airbag 4, thereby smoothly inflating the gas diffusion airbag 4.
When the one-way air admittance channel 60 is opened, the air outlet port 651 is opened, the upper sheet 61 and the lower sheet 62 at the air outlet port 651 are separated, and gas flows inside the gas diffusion airbag 4 via the air outlet port 651, and when the one-way air admittance channel 60 is closed, the air outlet port 651 is closed due to contact and adsorption between the upper sheet 61 and the lower sheet 62. One or more air outlet ports 651 may be arranged, and consist of a dividing line (e.g.,
In addition, the air outlet portion 65 is further provided with a junction portion 652. The junction portion 652 is overlapped at least partially with the air outlet port 651, and the upper sheet 61 and the lower sheet 62 at the junction portion 652 can be joined by, for example, high-frequency welding, such that the portion overlapping with the air outlet port 651 is joined. As a result, by means of the junction portion 652, inability of the air outlet port 651 in tightly closing due to ageing material of the one-way air admittance member 6 after the air outlet port 651 is closed and opened repeatedly for multiple times can be avoided. The junction portion 652 may be formed as a circle (e.g.,
The fixing portion 67 is configured to fix the one-way air admittance member 6 in a flat state, and the fixing portion 67 is a portion of the one-way air admittance member 6 extending from the air outlet portion 65 to the side edges 613, 623, and is normally overlapped with the peripheral edge of the gas diffusion airbag 4, but is not limited hereto, and the fixing portion 67 can be one portion or some portions of the portion extending from the air outlet portion 65 to the side edges 613, 623 for bonding with the upper cushion body 207 and/or the lower cushion body 209 of the cushion airbag pad 200. In addition, the side edges 611 and the side edges 621 of one side or both sides (i.e., left side and/or right side) of the one-way air admittance channel 60 may further extend and may be mounted to be overlapping with the peripheral edge of the gas diffusion airbag 4. That is, the fixing portion 67 and the air inlet portion 63 oppositely arranged at two ends of the one-way air admittance member 6 are fixed to the cushion airbag pad 200, and the side edges 611 and the side edges 621 on one side or both sides are also fixed to the cushion airbag pad 200.
It will be appreciated that the structure of the one-way air admittance member 6 is not limited to being formed by combining the upper sheet 61 with the lower sheet 62, e.g., the one-way air admittance member 6 may be composed of an integrated pouch-like element which is open on one side. With no need of a combination between the upper sheet 61 and the lower sheet 62, the one-way air admittance member 6 of the pouch-like element omits a combination step, thereby lowering the process cost and improving the production efficiency. In addition, the one-way air admittance member 6 can also be formed when the upper sheet 61 and the lower sheet 62 are joined along a boundary of a specifically-shaped one-way air admittance channel 60 (e.g., the boundary 603 of
Specifically, referring to

In addition, in the present application, the setting of the form of the junction portion 652 is not limited to the above examples, the junction portion 652 may not be overlapped with the air outlet port 651 or the first air outlet port 6511 and the second air outlet port 6512, as long as the junction portion 652 is arranged around any one of the air outlet port 651, or the first air outlet port 6511 and the second air outlet port 6512, so as to ensure that the air outlet port 651, or the first air outlet port 6511 and/or the second air outlet port 6512 are joined.
As shown in

As shown in
It can be understood that the shape of the above boundary 603 and the contours of the corresponding air inlet portion 63 and the air outlet portion 65, and the fixing portion 67 are not limited to the examples described above, and may be appropriately changed. The shapes of the air outlet port 651 and the junction portion 652 are not limited to the above illustrated examples and may be appropriately changed.
In addition, the air outlet assembly 80 is provided with a third airbag 8 and an air outlet port 5, and may also contain an air outlet valve (not shown in the figures). The third airbag 8 is communicated with adjacent airbags 205 via at least one ventilated airway 203, respectively, and the third airbag 8 is communicated with a gas diffusion airbag 4 via the cushion body 201 which is connected in series with all the airbags 205 and all the airways 203. A unidirectional air outlet valve is mounted at the air outlet port 5 of the third airbag 8, such that gas can only go out of but cannot enter the air outlet port, thereby ensuring unidirectional deflation of gas.
The mounting composition of the one-way air admittance member 6 is specifically illustrated below with reference to
In addition, the mounting composition of the air inlet portion 63 and the fixing portion 67 is not limited to the above examples. As shown in
In the examples of
As shown in
In addition, except for fixing the air inlet portion 63 and the fixing portion 67 to the peripheral edges of two opposite sides of the mounting airbag, the one-way air admittance member 6 may also be made such that the other sides (i.e., the side edges 611, 621) are also mounted to other peripheral edges of the mounting airbag. For example, as shown in
In the above mounting example, the one-way air admittance member 6 can be attached to the cushion airbag pad 200 with the opening 601 being always kept in an open state. The gas diffusion airbag 4 serving as a mounting airbag is taken as an example for illustration below, the mounting airbag can be substituted into the air inlet airbag 2 according to reasonable changes, and the one-way air admittance member 6 can be attached to the cushion airbag pad 200 in a state in which the opening 601 is always kept in an open state.
As shown in
In addition, the air inlet portion 63 is fixed to the air inlet airway 3 and is further fixed to the air inlet airbag 2 as shown in
In addition, the one-way air admittance member 6 can also be attached to the cushion airbag pad 200 when the opening 601 is in a closed state. The gas diffusion airbag 4 serving as a mounting airbag is taken as an example for illustration below, but the mounting airbag can be substituted into the air inlet airbag 2 according to reasonable changes, and the one-way air admittance member 6 can be attached to the cushion airbag pad 200 when the opening 601 is in a closed state.
Even when the air inlet portion 63 is fixed to the air inlet airway 3 (
In addition, the fixing portion 67 is arranged at a peripheral edge, away from the air inlet airbag, of the gas diffusion airbag 4 in such a manner that the fixing portion 67 is sandwiched between the upper cushion body 207 and the lower cushion body 209 of the cushion airbag pad 200 and is attached to the upper cushion body 207 and the lower cushion body 209. As an example of fixing the fixing portion 67, the fixing portion 67 of the one-way air admittance member 6 can be first fixed to a position, corresponding to the peripheral edge, away from the air inlet airbag, of the gas diffusion airbag 4, of the upper cushion body 207, and then the upper cushion body 207 and the lower cushion body 209 can be joined (welded) together. As another example, the fixing portion 67 of the one-way air admittance member 6 can be first fixed to the position, corresponding to the peripheral edge, away from the air inlet airbag, of the gas diffusion airbag 4, of the lower cushion body 209, and then the upper cushion body 207 and the lower cushion body 209 can be joined together. In addition, the process of mounting the one-way air admittance member 6 relative to the lower cushion body 209 is performed simultaneously with an attaching process for forming the side edges 611, 621, and/or the boundary 603 of the upper sheet 61 and the lower sheet 62.
In addition, the plurality of airbags 205, the air inlet airbag 2, the gas diffusion airbag 4, and the third airbag 8 are formed to be still higher than the plurality of airways 203 and the air inlet airway 3 after gas is released, thereby preventing unsmooth air flow in the cushion airbag pad 200 when the user presses the airway during airbag deflation.
In addition, it can be understood that the plurality of airways 203 and the air inlet airways 3 may be omitted, and adjacent airbags in the plurality of airbags 205, air inlet airbags 2, gas diffusion airbags 4, and third airbags 8 are directly communicated in series.
The cushion airbag pad 200 of the present application is suitable for use on surfaces that are subjected to pressure when backpacks, waist packs, shoulder bags, arm bags, and other bag products such as shoulder straps, heavy lifting handles and the like come into contact with people. The cushion airbag pad 200 is also applicable to mattresses, seat cushions, back cushions, shoe insoles and the like and is beneficial for the human body which is pressed for a long time. When the human body is under pressure for a long time, local blood circulation is not smooth and people feel painful, and the contact sites are airtight, thereby easily producing sweat and failing to effectively dissipate heat, making people feel uncomfortable, affecting the health of the skin, and leaving a hidden health problem. The cushion airbag pad 200 in the present application can buffer and relax the contact parts of the human body, and a gap between the airbags can provide a good passage for releasing heat of the human body.
