Figure 1 is a top plan view of a first embodiment of an air bed. As shown in FIG. 1, the air bed 1 includes an inner air cushion body 10 and an outer cladding layer 20. The inner air cushion body 10 includes a plurality of inflatable columns 11 and an inflation duct 13 respectively connected to the inflation ducts 13 and the inflatable columns 11 are arranged to form a mattress body. The inflating column 11 is respectively connected to the inflation duct 13, and at least one of the inflating columns 11 regulates the air column 11A, and the regulating air column 11A includes at least a constricted section 113 to provide damping of the gas flow inside the pressure regulating air column 11A.

Here, since the inflating column 11 communicates with the inflation duct 13 respectively, when inflating from the inflation duct 13, the gas can directly pass into all the inflating columns 11. In addition, the neck narrowing section 113 is disposed at the middle end of the pressure regulating air column 11A. When one side of the pressure regulating air column 11A is subjected to pressure, the neck narrowing section 113 causes the gas to flow to the other side to slow down, and avoids gas passing. Move quickly to the other side to avoid excessive pressure or deformation and slowly reach the balance of air pressure. In the drawing, only two pressure regulating air columns 11A are drawn, but this is only an example, and is not intended to be limiting. Actually, the number is not limited thereto, and only one single pressure regulating air column 11A may be used, or all of them may be used. The inflatable column 11 is a pressure regulating air column 11A.

The outer cover layer 20 seals and covers the outer portion of at least one of the inflatable columns 11, and an interlayer gap 15 is formed between the outer cover layer 20 and the inner air cushion body 10 to be coated. Here, the outer cover layer 20 seals the outer portion of the inflatable column 11 to at least one of the outer portions, which means that the outer cover layer 20 can cover one of the inflatable columns 11 or cover the plurality of inflatable columns 11 , which can be according to actual needs. Adjustment. The interlayer gap 15 can be filled with a fluid, which can be air, water or oil. Further, it may also be a slowly flowing condensed state, for example, a jelly or the like. Thereby, in addition to the damping effect of the pressure regulating air column 11A, the interlayer gap 15 between the outer cladding layer 20 and the inner air cushion body 10 forms a double pad body protection, and double buffering effect can be achieved.

In more detail, the surface area of the outer cover layer 20 may be smaller than the surface area of the inner air cushion body 10, and when the liquid or colloidal fluid such as water or oil is filled in the filling of the interlayer gap 15, the interlayer gap is removed by vacuuming. In the air, the liquid or colloidal fluid can cover the inner air cushion body 10 in a water film form. When the lying person touches, a better contact feeling can also be obtained.

Referring again to FIG. 1, the two-pressure air column 11A shown in FIG. 1 has neck portions 113 located at different positions and having different inner diameter passages. This is merely an example and is not intended to be limiting. The necked sections 113 of all of the pressure regulating gas cylinders 11A in the inner air cushion body 10 may also have the same inner diameter passage. Here, since the manner of use, the position, and the body of the lying person are different, in fact, the position of the neck portion 113 and the inner diameter passage can be customized. Generally, the inner diameter of the neck portion 113 is 1/10 to 2/3 of the inner diameter of the other regions of the pressure regulating air column 11A, and more preferably, the inner diameter of the neck portion 113 is the other region of the pressure regulating air column 11A. 1/5 to 1/2 of the inner diameter.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of a second embodiment of an air bed. As shown in FIG. 2, the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the pressure-regulating gas column 11A of the second embodiment includes a two-necked section 113 having different inner diameter passages. However, in the same manner, FIG. 2 is also merely an example, and is not intended to be limiting. For example, there may be three neck segments 113, or the neck segments 113 all have the same inner diameter passage. Here, the position of the pressure regulating air column 11A, the necking section 113, the inner diameter passage, and the number can be customized.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the inflatable columns 11 are arranged in parallel with each other to be arranged in a mattress body, and the inflation ducts 13 are vertically disposed and communicated with the same end of the inflatable column 11. However, this is merely an example, and in practice, the inflation duct 13 may also be disposed in different directions, and only needs to remain in communication with the inflatable column 11. In addition, the inflation duct 13 may have a one-way valve to charge the gas to avoid outflow.

Figure 3 is a schematic view of an embodiment of the section 3-3 of Figure 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the neck portion 113 can be a single air passage 115, that is, the gas is reduced in the inner diameter of the neck portion 113 to increase the pressure, thereby reducing the speed of the flow. In this way, the buffering effect of gas flow damping is achieved.

Figure 4 is a schematic view of another embodiment of the section taken along line 4-4 of Figure 2. As shown in FIG. 3, the neck portion 113 can also be partially closed, and two air passages 115 are formed. However, Figures 3 and 4 are merely examples and are not intended to be limiting. For example, a manner of having a different number of air passages 115 can also be used on the buffered pressure regulating air column 11A, and the number of air passages 115 can also be adjusted to achieve an optimum airflow damping cushioning effect.

Figure 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a third embodiment of the air bed. As shown in FIG. 5, the air bed 1 further includes a covering sleeve 30 covering the inner air cushion body 10 and the outer covering layer 20. In more detail, the covering sleeve 30 includes a partitioning member 31. The partitioning member 31 partitions a plurality of compartments 33, and each of the inflatable columns 11 is accommodated in the compartment 33. As such, the position of the inflatable column 11 can be limited to avoid excessive slippage.

Figure 6 is a top plan view of a fourth embodiment of an air bed. As shown in FIG. 6, the air bed 1 further includes an outer ring air ring 40 disposed around the outer circumference of the cover sleeve 30.
