Description

Massage cushion with air injection/exhaust function

The present invention relates to a massage cushion equipped with an air inlet/discharge function.

The conventional massage cushion uses two main massage methods, first, a method using a mechanical action that realizes a massage effect by, for example, a ball or a vibrating rod acting on the human body, and secondly, air is repeatedly applied to the air cushion. It is a method of using a gas that realizes a massage effect by injecting or discharging the air cushion to raise and lower it.

The first method is usually installed in a hospital or a dedicated place because the structure is complicated and the cost is relatively high. Although the second method is inexpensive, large-scale production is difficult due to problems in production and manufacturing, and it is difficult to realize a massage effect because most of it is composed of a one-time air injection/exhaust structure.

The massage cushion with air injection/discharge function according to the present invention is a massage cushion that can alternately inject/discharge air, and can cause different parts of the massage cushion to rise and fall alternately, and use an independent air injection method. By realizing the effect of massage and air circulation, it is possible to relax the muscles of the human body and promote blood circulation.

In the massage cushion provided with an air injection/discharge function, the method for manufacturing the massage cushion alternately injects/discharges air for different parts by completing the air injection/discharge of different air packs in the massage cushion through two ventilation paths. In addition, by realizing both air injection and exhaust operations through remote control of the air pump, it can be operated and controlled easily, time and effort can be saved, and the air injection amount can be precisely controlled. can
