Detailed ways

Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. What is described here is only the preferred embodiment according to the present invention. Those skilled in the art can think of other ways to implement the present invention based on the preferred embodiment, and the other ways also fall within the scope of the present invention.

In the first aspect, with reference to the assembly process of an elastic module 1 shown in Figures 1 to 5 and an elastic pad 21 shown in Figures 6 to 11, the elastic module 1 provided by the present invention is used to assemble into an elastic pad 21. The module 1 includes a frame 2, an elastomer 3 and an elastic airbag 4, wherein the elastomer 3 and the elastic airbag 4 are provided on the frame 2 and stacked in the height direction of the frame, so as to be able to provide pressure when subjected to pressure applied in the height direction. Elastic support.

In this elastic module 1, since the elastomer 3 and the elastic airbag 4 are arranged on the frame 2 and overlap in the height direction of the frame 2, they can provide elastic support when subjected to pressure in the height direction. In this way, when multiple elastic modules 1 are assembled into an elastic pad, when the elastic pad 21 is pressed by the user, the elastic body 3 and the elastic air bag 4 stacked in the height direction will provide elastic support together, and the elastic air bag 4 Then the gas stored inside itself can provide softer elastic support, and the frame 2 can ensure that the elastomer 3 and the elastic airbag 4 are stacked stably and reliably in the height direction. When the elastic pad 21 needs to be stored, if necessary, then The elastic module 1 can be detached from the elastic pad 21 for easy storage and transportation. In addition, according to the user's different needs for support hardness, the elastic airbags 4 of the elastic module 1 in some areas of the elastic cushion 21 can have a larger amount of inflation, and the elastic airbags 4 of the elastic module 1 in other areas of the elastic cushion 21 can have a larger amount of inflation. With a smaller inflation amount, that is, the elastic airbags 4 of multiple elastic modules 1 can have different inflation amounts, thereby achieving different softness and hardness in different areas of the elastic pad 21 . Of course, the elastic airbags 4 of all the elastic modules 1 can also have the same inflation amount, so that different areas of the elastic pad have the same support hardness. Therefore, in actual use, the elastic module can improve the stability of the elastic pad and improve comfort, facilitate the transportation of the elastic pad, and reduce the space occupied by storage.

In addition, when the elastic module 1 is not subjected to pressure applied in the height direction, the elastic body 3 may be in a predetermined compression state, or the elastic body 3 may be in a natural state in which it is engaged but not compressed.

In some embodiments, the inflation amount of the elastic airbag 4 is fixed. For example, the elastic airbags 4 of multiple elastic modules 1 assembled into the elastic cushion 21 can have the same inflation amount to have the same support hardness. For another example, among the plurality of elastic modules 1 assembled into the elastic cushion 21, the inflation amount of the elastic airbags 4 of some elastic modules 1 is small, and the inflation amount of the elastic airbags 4 of another part of the elastic module 1 is large, so that the elastic airbag 4 of the elastic cushion 21 is inflated. Different areas provide different support stiffnesses.

In other embodiments, the inflation amount of the elastic airbag 4 can be adjusted, that is, the internal air pressure of the elastic airbag 4 can be adjusted. Referring to Figures 1, 4 and 5, the elastic airbag 4 includes a port 5 through which the elastic airbag 4 can be inflated and deflated to adjust the size of the elastic support force provided by the elastic airbag 4. In this way, the user can inflate the elastic airbags 4 of the elastic module 1 in some areas of the elastic cushion 21 through the port 5 to increase the inflation amount according to different needs for support hardness, and inflate the elastic modules 1 in other areas of the elastic cushion 21 The elastic airbag 4 of 1 is deflated through the port 5 to reduce the inflation amount, so that the elastic airbags 4 of multiple elastic modules 1 have different inflation amounts, so that in actual use, as long as there is an adjustment need, the elastic pad 21 can be Different areas have different softness and hardness.

In addition, in some embodiments, under the limiting effect of the frame 2, the elastic body 3 and the elastic airbag 4 can be directly stacked on each other, that is, the elastic body 3 and the elastic airbag 4 are in direct contact and there is no arrangement between them. Matching structure. In other embodiments, referring to Figures 2-5, the elastic body 3 and the elastic airbag 4 are configured to be able to be engaged through a matching structure arranged between the two. In this way, the elastic body 3 and the elastic airbag 4 are engaged through the matching structure to Overlapping each other can effectively improve the stability of the stacking of the elastic body 3 and the elastic airbag 4. In this way, under the dual limiting effects provided by the matching structure and the frame 2, the stability of the elastic module can be further improved.

In addition, the matching structure between the elastic body 3 and the elastic airbag 4 can have multiple types. For example, one type of the matching structure can include connecting pieces formed on the elastic body 3 and the elastic airbag 4 respectively, that is, the elastic body 3 When stacked with the elastic airbag 4, both The connecting pieces are stacked and connected by fasteners such as screws. Or, referring to Figures 3, 4 and 5, another type of matching structure may include an engageable protrusion 6 and a receiving space 7, wherein the protrusion 6 is formed in the elastic airbag 4 and the elastic body 3 On one side, the accommodation space 7 is formed on the other of the elastic air bag 4 and the elastic body 3 . For example, the elastic airbag 4 is formed with a protruding portion 6 , the elastic body 3 is formed with an accommodating space 7 , and the protruding portion 6 is engaged in the accommodating space 7 . In this way, when the elastic airbag 4 and the elastic body 3 are stacked, the protruding portion 6 will enter and engage in the accommodation space 7, thereby forming a limiting engagement, which improves the stability of the stacking of the elastic body 3 and the elastic airbag 4.

In addition, in some embodiments, the protruding portion 6 can be a cylinder, and the cylinder can extend into the accommodation space. Or, in other embodiments, the protruding part 6 is a spherical crown part, and part of the spherical crown part can enter the accommodation space 7 , so that within the spherical range of the spherical crown part, there is always a gap between the spherical crown part and the accommodation space 7 A limiting engagement is formed, so that when the elastic module 1 laterally deflects within the allowable range, the limiting engagement is always maintained between the spherical crown part and the accommodation space 7, which further improves the overlap of the elastic airbag 4 and the elastomer 3. stability. In addition, a spherical cap part may be formed on the elastic airbag 4, or a spherical cap part may be formed on the elastic body 3. In addition, in some embodiments, the accommodating space 7 may be a spherical groove, so that the spherical crown portion extends into the spherical groove to form a spherical joint between the two. In addition, in other embodiments, the spherical crown part may form a limiting engagement with the edge of the mouth of the accommodation space 7 .

In addition, in the elastic module 1, the elastic airbag 4 can have various shapes, including but not limited to the shapes shown in the drawings. For example, in some embodiments, the elastic airbag 4 includes an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder. The inner cylinder is located inside the outer cylinder and maintains a radial distance between them. At the same time, the axial ends of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are sealed by end walls respectively. connected, thereby forming an airbag cylinder with an annular sealed chamber. At this time, the internal space at either end of the airbag cylinder serves as the accommodation space 7. At this time, the elastic body 3 is formed with a spherical crown. For example, the elastic body 3 is an elastic sphere. .

In other embodiments, with reference to Figures 1, 3, 4 and 5, the elastic airbag 4 is a sphere 8. In this way, the sphere 8 is not only easy to form, but also when the elastic module 1 laterally deflects within the allowable range, the sphere 8 It can also continue to provide good elastic support. this In addition, a part of the sphere 8 can be used as the protruding portion 6, that is, the protruding portion 6 is the spherical cap portion. At this time, one end of the elastic body 3 is open toward the sphere 8, so that the internal space at one end of the elastic body 3 can be To accommodate space 7. In this way, when the sphere 8 and the elastic body 3 are stacked, a part of the sphere can enter the internal space of one end of the elastic body 3, so that within a part of the spherical surface of the sphere 8, a part of the spherical surface of the sphere 8 and the accommodation space of the elastic body 3 A limited engagement is formed between 7, so that when the elastic module 1 laterally deflects within the allowable range, a limited engagement is always maintained between a part of the spherical surface of the ball 8 and the accommodation space 7, which further improves the stability of the ball 8 and the elastic body. 3.

In addition, the elastic body 3 can be a spring 9 , so that the internal space at one end of the spring 9 facing the ball 8 can be the accommodation space 7 . In this way, when the ball 8 and the spring 9 are stacked, a part of the ball can enter the internal space of one end of the spring 9, so that the ball 8 and the spring 9 are stacked together. In this way, the self-structure of the ball 8 and the spring 9 can be fully utilized to stack them together stably and reliably.

In addition, the number of elastic bodies 3 and elastic airbags 4 can be selected according to needs, and the number of elastic bodies 3 can be one or more, such as two. The number of elastic airbags 4 may be one or more, such as two. For example, in some embodiments, an elastic body 3 may be directly stacked on an elastic airbag 4 in the height direction. In some embodiments, an elastic airbag 4 may be directly stacked on an elastic body 3 in the height direction. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1 , an elastic airbag 4 is stacked between two elastic bodies 3 . In some embodiments, one elastic body 3 can be stacked between two elastic air bags 4 .

In this way, the first elastic member 11 and the second elastic member 12 can be more easily engaged with the frame 2, and the elastic airbag 4 such as the ball 8 can be clamped and stacked on the first elastic member 11 and the second elastic member 12 more stably and reliably. In between, the stability of elastic module 1 is improved. In addition, the first elastic member 11 and the second elastic member 12 may be springs 9 .

In addition, in some embodiments, the first elastic member 11 and the second elastic member 12 may be equal-diameter elastic members, such as equal-diameter springs or equal-diameter elastic cylinders.

In addition, the first elastic member 11 and the second elastic member 12 are frustum-shaped springs or frustum-shaped elastic cylinders.

In addition, since the second elastic member 12 is located above the first elastic member 11 and is spaced apart by the elastic airbag 4, in some embodiments, the outer diameter of the large mouth end 10 of the second elastic member 12 may be equal to or larger than the first elastic member 12.

In other embodiments, referring to FIG. 5 , the outer diameter of the large end 10 of the second elastic member 12 is smaller than the outer diameter of the small end 13 of the first elastic member 11 . In this way, over the entire height of the elastic module 1 , the outer diameter of the first elastic member 12 is smaller than the outer diameter of the small end 13 of the first elastic member 11 . The member 11 and the second elastic member 12 will act as an integral frustum, and the diameter of the integral frustum linearly decreases from bottom to upward, so that the elastic module has further linearly changing elastic support force.

In addition, in some embodiments, the elastic body 3 or the elastic airbag 4 can protrude from the frame 2 in the height direction. In this way, the elastic body 3 or the elastic airbag 4 can serve as a pressure bearing point in the height direction. When the elastic body 3 Or when the elastic airbag 4 is subjected to pressure in the height direction, the elastic body 3 or the elastic airbag 4 deforms to provide elastic support, while the frame 2 can maintain its shape without resettable deformation.

In this way, the frame 2 can provide better protection to the elastic body 3 and the elastic airbag 4. At the same time, the frame 2 can better limit the position of the elastic body 3 and the elastic airbag 4, thereby improving the overall stability of the elastic module 1.

In addition, in some embodiments, the support structure 14 may be located in the middle of the elastic airbag 4. For example, when the elastic airbag 4 is the above-mentioned airbag cylinder, the support structure 14 is located in the axial channel of the airbag cylinder. In other embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the support structure 14 is arranged along the circumference of the frame, that is, the support structure 14 is located at the circumferential edge of the frame 2 and is located outside the elastic body 3 and the elastic airbag 4. , this can provide the elastomer 3 and the elastic airbag 4 with better structures, such as the spring 9 and the ball 8.
