The present disclosure is related to a negative pressure massage apparatus, in particular to a negative pressure massage apparatus that includes two solenoid valves and has multiple modes.
In recent years, under a highly industrialized and informatized society, people generally lack exercise. For example, using a computer to go to work, watching TV, playing video games, flying on an airplane and other occasions, they all maintain a long sitting posture, forming a bad posture. In people's daily life, the muscles of the head, neck, shoulders, chest, buttocks, or abdomen are in a state of tension, which leads to tension headaches, which makes the neck and shoulders feel pain, and also hinders the smoothness of the brain. The blood circulation makes people often feel tired and unable to concentrate.
In today's society, people often face various challenges and great spiritual pressures, so that timely release of pressure becomes an important part of life, which may not only effectively change the mood at work, but also continue to accept more challenges in the future. Many people use massage to achieve physical and spiritual relaxation. Massage may increase the temperature of skin and accelerate blood circulation, so that the blood vessels in body may dilate to achieve a soothing effect on the body and mind, and it may promote metabolism and blood circulation in the body. And blood circulation will get better and better.
With the faster and faster pace of life, modern people often do not have enough time to exercise to relax their minds and bodies, or accumulate a lot of stress that needs to be relieved. In order to allow people to relax and rest in some limited free time, many kinds of massage and pressure relief devices, such as negative pressure massage apparatus, have appeared on the market. A related art negative pressure massage apparatus includes a main unit, a hose, and a vacuum cup. Two ends of the hose are connected to the main unit and the vacuum cup respectively. A user may control the vacuum cup through the main unit to pump or exhaust on skin surface, so as to achieve an effect of massage and relaxation.
However, the related art negative pressure massage apparatus only has a simple pumping or exhausting function. Due to the different physiological structures and organ positions of various parts of the human body, general negative pressure massage apparatus is not only difficult to optimally adapt to the massage state of each part of the human body, but also difficult to adapt to different objects to be massaged. (e.g., elders and children, boys and girls, etc.). It not only causes troubles in operation, but also increases a cost of manufacturing equipment and massage.
Therefore, how to design a negative pressure massage apparatus and a method thereof, in particular to solve the aforementioned technical problems of the prior art, is an important subject studied by the inventor of the present disclosure.
A purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a negative pressure massage apparatus, which solves a technical problem in the prior art that it is difficult to best fit a massage state of various parts of a human body or an object being massaged. To achieve a purpose of saving costs and improving efficiency.
In order to achieve the purpose of the present disclosure, the negative pressure massage apparatus includes a vacuum pump, a first solenoid valve, a second solenoid valve, and a control board. The vacuum pump generates a negative pressure outside the negative pressure massage apparatus. The first solenoid valve is connected to the vacuum pump, and the first solenoid valve is used to control a gas flow input into the negative pressure massage apparatus from outside the negative pressure massage apparatus to a first flow rate. The second solenoid valve is connected to the vacuum pump and the first solenoid valve, and the second solenoid valve is used to control the gas flow input into the negative pressure massage apparatus from outside the negative pressure massage apparatus to a second flow rate. The control board is connected to the vacuum pump, the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve. The control board is used to activate or stop at least one of the vacuum pumps, the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve.
Further, in the negative pressure massage apparatus, the first flow rate is less than or equal to the second flow rate.
Further, the negative pressure massage apparatus further includes a communication pipe connected to the vacuum pump, the first solenoid valve, the second solenoid valve, and outside the negative pressure massage apparatus.
Further, the negative pressure massage apparatus further includes a negative pressure cup connected to the communication pipe outside the negative pressure massage apparatus, and the negative pressure is generated in the negative pressure cup.
Further, in the negative pressure massage apparatus, the control board includes a control unit, the control unit is connected to the vacuum pump, the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve. The control unit is used to activate or stop at least one of the vacuum pumps, the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve.
Further, in the negative pressure massage apparatus, the control board further includes a storage unit connected to the control unit, and the storage unit stores a control parameter, the control unit is used to activate or stop at least one of the vacuum pumps, the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve according to the control parameter.
Another purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a method of using a negative pressure massage apparatus, which solves a technical problem in the prior art that it is difficult to best fit a massage state of various parts of a human body or an object being massaged. To achieve the purpose of saving costs and improving efficiency.
In order to achieve the purpose of the present disclosure, the negative pressure massage apparatus includes a vacuum pump, a first solenoid valve, and a second solenoid valve, the method includes following steps:
The vacuum pump is continuously activated, and both the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve are continuously stopped to shut off the gas flow from outside the negative pressure massage apparatus into the negative pressure massage apparatus. The vacuum pump generates a first negative pressure that is stable over time outside the negative pressure massage apparatus.
Alternately activate the vacuum pump or the first solenoid valve over time, and the second solenoid valve is continuously stopped, the first solenoid valve is used to control the gas flow input into the negative pressure massage apparatus from outside the negative pressure massage apparatus to a first flow rate. The vacuum pump and the first solenoid valve generate a second negative pressure that changes with time outside the negative pressure massage apparatus.
Alternately activate the vacuum pump or the second solenoid valve over time, or alternately activate the vacuum pump or both the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve over time. The second solenoid valve is used to control the gas flow input into the negative pressure massage apparatus from outside the negative pressure massage apparatus to a second flow rate, and at least one of the vacuum pumps, the second solenoid valve, and the first solenoid valve generates a third negative pressure that changes with time outside the negative pressure massage apparatus.
The vacuum pump is continuously activated, the first solenoid valve is alternately activated, and the second solenoid valve is continuously stopped. The first solenoid valve is used to control the gas flow input into the negative pressure massage apparatus from outside the negative pressure massage apparatus to the first flow rate. The vacuum pump and the first solenoid valve generate a fourth negative pressure that changes with time outside the negative pressure massage apparatus.
The vacuum pump is continuously activated, the second solenoid valve is alternately activated, and the first solenoid valve is continuously stopped. The second solenoid valve is used to control the gas flow input into the negative pressure massage apparatus from outside the negative pressure massage apparatus to the second flow rate. The vacuum pump and the second solenoid valve generate a fifth negative pressure that changes with time outside the negative pressure massage apparatus.
Further, the method of using the negative pressure massage apparatus further includes following step: the vacuum pump is continuously activated, both the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve are alternately activated. The first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve are used to control the gas flow input into the negative pressure massage apparatus from outside the negative pressure massage apparatus to a sum of the first flow rate and the second flow rate. The vacuum pump, the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve generate a sixth negative pressure that changes with time outside the negative pressure massage apparatus.

A method of using the negative pressure massage apparatus 1 further includes following step: the vacuum pump 10 is continuously activated, both the first solenoid valve 11 and the second solenoid valve 12 are intermittently activated. The first solenoid valve 11 and the second solenoid valve 12 are used to control the gas flow input into the negative pressure massage apparatus 1 from outside the negative pressure massage apparatus 1 to a sum of the first flow rate and the second flow rate. The vacuum pump 10, the first solenoid valve 11 and the second solenoid valve 12 generate a sixth negative pressure that changes with time outside the negative pressure massage apparatus 1.
Further, an activation time of the vacuum pump 10, the first solenoid valve 11 or the second solenoid valve 12 is greater than 0 seconds and less than or equal to 9.9 seconds. A pressure value generated by the vacuum pump 10 is between −40 Torr and −600 Torr.
In the method of using the negative pressure massage apparatus, if the continuous activation time of the vacuum pump 10 is X, and the intermittent activation time of the first solenoid valve 11 or the second solenoid valve 12 is Y (the X and Y are independent on time axis and do not affect each other), the negative pressure massage device 1 may have the following suggested implementation modes according to parts of human body that are massaged:
(1). Chest: the first mode or the third mode (X=2.0˜2.4 seconds, Y=0.6˜1.0 seconds);
(2). Buttocks: the first mode, or the third mode (X=2.4˜3.0 seconds, Y=0.6˜1.5 seconds);
(3). Shoulder and neck: the fourth mode (X=2.2˜2.4 seconds, Y=0.6˜1.2 seconds) or the fifth mode (X=2.2˜2.4 seconds, Y=0.6˜1.2 seconds);
(4). Abdomen: the first mode or the third mode (X=1.6˜2.4 seconds, Y=0.6˜1.0 seconds);
(5). Face: the fourth mode (X=2.2˜2.4 seconds, Y=0.6˜1.2 seconds) or the fifth mode (X=0.1˜0.2 seconds, Y=0.1˜0.2 seconds);

When using the negative pressure massage apparatus of the present disclosure, the vacuum pump 10, the first solenoid valve 11, and the second solenoid valve 12 are controlled to activate or stop by the control board 13, so that they may be activated continuously or alternately over time. When the first solenoid valve 11 and the second solenoid valve 12 are respectively used to control the first flow rate and the second flow rate that are different from each other, the control board 13 performs flow control by activating the first solenoid valve 11 alone, or by activating the second solenoid valve 12 alone, or by activating both the first solenoid valve 11 and second solenoid valve 12 at the same time. The control board 13 may be matched with the vacuum pump 10 to be activated continuously or alternately activated with any solenoid valve over time to achieve more diversified negative pressure changes over time, so as to achieve different massage effects and purposes for different application effects.
