Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of health care equipment, and more particularly to a portable thigh massage stool. [Background technology]

[0002] In modern society, the increasing workload of workers has led to an increase in the number of people working in a standing or sitting position for long periods of time. These people are prone to symptoms such as thigh muscle tension, poor circulation, and coldness in the lower extremities, and may also suffer from accumulated fatigue and emotional anxiety. However, conventional thigh massage devices have several drawbacks: 1. Large devices are bulky and lack portability, making them unsuitable for a variety of usage situations; 2. Small devices are often handheld or wrap-around, lacking a stable support structure and therefore requiring handholding during use, resulting in limited convenience; 3. Some devices only provide basic massage functions and lack a heating module, making it difficult to achieve a comfortable, elevated thigh position; and 4. They are unable to achieve both effective massage and portability. Therefore, there is a strong demand for a small, portable thigh massage device that is highly portable, can be used flexibly in multiple situations, and combines heating functionality with stable support. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the above-mentioned issues, the present invention provides a thigh massage stool with foldable legs for easy portability, movable massage rollers, and a flexible heating module. The concave support surface provides stable support for the thighs, meeting the needs of massage and thermal care in a variety of situations.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is a portable thigh massage stool, which has the following configuration: Stool body: The stool body has an integrally molded concave support surface on its upper surface. Massage Rollers: The plurality of massage rollers are movably disposed on the concave support surface. Heating module: A flexible electric heating element is placed under the concave support surface. Vibrating and rotating layer: positioned below the concave support surface and below the heating module. Driving unit: The driving unit is installed inside the vibration rotation layer and in the space on both sides formed between the stool body and the vibration rotation layer. Stool legs: The four stool legs are pivotally supported at the four corners of the bottom of the stool body. Control module: electrically connected to the heating module and the drive unit, and controls the heating and massage functions. In some embodiments of the present invention, the massage rollers are coupled to a drive unit to vibrate and / or rotate under the control of the control module. In some embodiments of the present invention, the control module includes a control panel on the side of the stool body and control circuits for setting the heating output and timer. In some embodiments of the present invention, the stool legs can be folded by pivoting inward around the connection with the bottom of the stool body. In some embodiments of the present invention, the height of the stool body when the stool legs are folded is 25cm to 35cm.

[0005] This device offers the following advantages over existing technology. The stool legs can be rotated inward for storage, and when stored, the stool's height is only 25-35cm, resulting in a small overall volume. This allows for easy portability and placement in a variety of locations, including offices, relaxation salons, cars, and even on beds, solving the problem of traditional massage devices being bulky and difficult to move. The movable massage rollers vibrate and rotate via a drive unit, effectively relaxing the thigh muscles and reducing fatigue caused by prolonged standing or sitting. The concave support surface closely conforms to the curves of the human body, providing stable support. The touch-screen control panel on the side features a clear layout and highly visible function buttons, making it easy to operate for people of all ages, from young to old, without requiring complex learning. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a top view (1) of the portable thigh massage stool according to the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a top view (second) of the portable thigh massage stool according to the present invention. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the portable thigh massage stool according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] In order to provide a better understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following examples. The purpose of presenting these examples is to make the disclosure of the present application clearer and more fully understandable. In this specification, "connection" includes not only direct connection between components but also connection via an intermediate member. Furthermore, with respect to objects that transmit and receive electrical signals or data, it also includes the meaning of "electrical connection" or "communication connection."

[0008] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the portable thigh massage stool of the present invention features a concave support surface 2 formed integrally on the upper part of the stool body 1, which conforms to the curved surfaces of the thighs and heels. This support surface provides comfortable support for the user's thighs and heels. A plurality of movable massage rollers 3 are aligned on the concave support surface 2. A vibration rotation layer 7 is located below the concave support surface 2 and below the heating module. Drive units are installed inside the vibration rotation layer 7 and in the spaces on both sides between the stool body 1 and the vibration rotation layer 7 (the drive units are miniature vibration motors or rotary motors, not shown). The drive units are divided into a vibration drive unit and a rotary drive unit. The vibration drive unit includes one or more miniature vibration motors located inside the vibration rotation layer. When activated, it vibrates the entire vibration rotation layer and its upper structure, providing a basic vibration massage. The rotary drive unit drives the rotation of the massage rollers and is composed of a miniature rotary motor and a transmission mechanism. These miniature rotary motors are centrally installed in the space between the stool body and the vibration rotating layer. The rotary shaft of each massage roller extends downward and is connected to the output shaft of the corresponding miniature rotary motor via a coupling or gear mechanism, transmitting the driving force directly to the massage roller. This configuration allows the rotary drive unit to drive the massage roller through the transmission mechanism, achieving precise kneading of the thigh muscles.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the heating module 6 uses a flexible carbon fiber heating piece or metal fiber heating wire, which is placed closely inside (i.e., below) the concave support surface 2 so that heat is transferred uniformly upward. In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1-3, the four stool legs 4 are pivoted by rotating shafts located at the four corners of the bottom of the stool body 1. As shown in Figure 3, the stool legs 4 can be rotated downward and unfolded, allowing the entire massage stool to be stably supported on the floor or other surfaces. The stool legs 4 can also be rotated inward to completely fold the stool, fitting snugly against the sides of the stool body 1 when folded. This position provides a neat overall appearance, making it easy to place on a bed or other surface. In this embodiment, the height of the folded stool body is preferably approximately 30 cm, allowing the user to elevate the thighs above the heart when lying on their back, thereby promoting blood circulation in the lower extremities and reducing cardiac strain. This provides benefits such as rapid fatigue relief, muscle relaxation, improved warmth in the feet and thighs, and enhanced blood circulation. In some embodiments of the present invention, a control panel 5 is provided on the side of the stool body 1 to enhance user convenience. The user can use the keys on the control panel 5 to turn the power on / off, select the vibration or rotation mode and intensity of the massage rollers 3, and set the temperature of the heating module 6. The commands set by the user through the control panel are received by the main control unit, which coordinates the various subsystems. On the one hand, the temperature control circuit precisely controls the output power to the heating module 6 using PWM (pulse width modulation) technology to achieve constant temperature heating, and on the other hand, the motor drive circuit controls the drive unit to generate a predetermined vibration or rotation pattern for the massage rollers. The control circuits within the control module (including the main control unit and the temperature control circuit) are all well-known technologies, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0010] The operating principle of this embodiment is as follows: When using the device, the user unfolds or folds the stool legs 4 depending on the situation. After assuming a seated or supine position, the user places the lower legs on the concave support surface 2. When the desired function is activated via the control panel, the massage rollers 3 vibrate or rotate, kneading and massaging the lower leg muscles, while the heating module 6 continuously supplies heat. These effects, combined with muscle relaxation, fatigue relief, and improved blood circulation, are achieved.

[0011] The above description describes the present invention and its embodiments, but the scope of protection is not limited thereto. The drawings are merely an embodiment of the present invention, and actual applications are not limited thereto. In other words, any structural aspects and embodiments similar to the technical means designed by a person skilled in the art based on the suggestions, without departing from the creative spirit of the present invention, should all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
