It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0029] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0030] In addition, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0031] As Figures 1 to 9 shown, a lower limb massage device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a foot massage machine 1, a leg massage machine 2, and a connecting rod. Two openings 101 for the user's feet to extend into are provided at the top of the foot massage machine 1. The leg massage machine 2 is provided with two slots 201 for accommodating the user's legs. The slot 201 of this embodiment is a notch that penetrates the top surface and the bottom surface of the leg massage machine 2. The bottom of the connecting rod is connected to the foot massage machine 1. The leg massage machine 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting rod through a connecting shaft 3, and the connecting shaft 3 is arranged in the horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the leg massage machine 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting rod through the connecting shaft 3, and the connecting shaft 3 is horizontally arranged, so that the leg massage machine 2 rotates around the horizontal direction. As Figure 1 shown, in the initial position, the slot 201 is vertically arranged, and the slot 201 faces the front of the foot massage machine 1, and the calf can be massaged; as Figure 2 shown, when the leg massage machine 2 rotates 90°, the slot 201 is horizontally arranged, and the knee and thigh can be massaged. It should be noted that the notch of the slot 201 can be upward or downward. When the notch of the slot 201 is upward, the back side of the thigh is in contact with the bottom of the slot 201. When the notch of the slot 201 is downward, the front side of the thigh is in contact with the bottom of the slot 201, and both can massage the knee and thigh; as Figure 3As shown, when the leg massager 2 rotates 180°, the slot 201 is vertically arranged but the leg massager 2 flips, and the slot 201 faces the back of the foot massager 1, enabling the front part of the calf to be massaged. Therefore, the lower limb massaging device of this embodiment can massage the foot of the calf, the calf muscle, the front part of the calf, the knee, and the thigh, serving multiple purposes with complete functions. If the leg massager 2 rotates around the vertical direction with the connecting rod as the rotation axis, only the calf muscle and the front muscle of the calf can be massaged. However, when the leg massager 2 of this embodiment rotates around the horizontal direction, not only the calf muscle and the front muscle of the calf can be massaged, but also the knee and the thigh can be massaged. In this embodiment, the connecting rod is vertically arranged, and the connecting shaft 3 is perpendicular to the connecting rod. The foot massager 1 and the leg massager 2 of this embodiment are provided with an air pump, an air valve, and multiple massage air bags. The air pump is communicated with the massage air bags through the air valve, and the lower limb is massaged by the extrusion of the massage air bags.

[0032] Optionally, a connecting groove 202 is provided on the leg massager 2. The connecting groove 202 is located between the two slots 201. The bottom of the connecting rod is located between the two openings 101, and the top of the connecting rod extends into the connecting groove 202. The connecting shaft 3 sequentially passes through one side wall of the connecting groove 303, the connecting rod, and the other side wall of the connecting groove 202. The groove wall of the connecting groove 202 in this embodiment is the groove wall between the connecting groove 202 and the slot 201. Arranging the connecting rod in the middle of the device is beneficial to supporting the leg massager 2, beneficial to the structural stability, and avoids tipping. In addition, a rotating disc 4 is installed at the top of the connecting rod. The center of the rotating disc 4 is on the same straight line as the connecting shaft 3. The rotating disc 4 is located in the connecting groove 201. The connecting groove 201 is an arc-shaped groove adapted to the rotating disc 4. When the leg massager 2 rotates, the groove wall of the connecting groove 201 rotates along the rotating disc 4 for guiding, and the rotating disc 4 can support the leg massager 2, reducing the thrust for rotating the leg massager 2 and facilitating rotation.

[0033] In this embodiment, the connecting rod is a telescopic rod. The connecting rod includes an outer rod 5 and an inner rod 6. The outer rod 5 is of a hollow structure, and the inner rod 6 is slidably connected in the outer rod 5. The outer rod 5 is connected to the foot massaging device 1, and the leg massaging device 2 is connected to the top of the inner rod 6. The connecting rod of this embodiment is a telescopic rod, which can adapt to users of different heights. The calf lengths and the heights of the calf muscles of users of different heights are different. Through the telescopic connecting rod, the height of the leg massager 2 can be adjusted so that the leg massager 2 can massage the muscle part of the calf, the knee, and the thigh, adjusting the massage position. In addition, a telescopic positioning mechanism is provided on the connecting rod of this embodiment, which can fix the position after the leg massager 2 is telescoped in place, avoiding position deviation during use and avoiding the gravity of the leg massager 2 compressing the connecting rod so that the connecting rod cannot play the role of adjusting the height of the leg massager 2.

[0034] The telescopic positioning mechanism of this embodiment includes a positioning seat 7, a positioning spring 8, and a positioning pin 9. The positioning seat 7 is of an annular structure and is sleeved on the top end of the outer rod 5. The positioning seat 7 is provided with a receiving groove 701 perpendicular to the length direction of the inner rod 6. The notch of the receiving groove 701 faces the inner rod 6. The positioning spring 8 and the positioning pin 9 are located in the receiving groove 701, and both ends of the spring 8 are abutted against the positioning pin 9 and the bottom of the receiving groove 701 respectively. The end face of the positioning pin 9 opposite to the inner rod 6 is spherical. The inner rod 6 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 601 arranged along its length direction. When the positioning groove 601 communicates with the receiving groove 701, the end of the positioning pin 9 is caught in the positioning groove 601. When the inner rod 6 moves, the positioning pin 9 abuts against the side surface of the inner rod 6, and the positioning spring 8 is in a compressed state; after the inner rod 6 moves in place, the positioning groove 601 communicates with the receiving groove 701, and the positioning pin 9 pops out towards the inner rod 6 under the elastic force of the positioning spring 8, and the end of the positioning pin 9 is caught in the positioning groove 601, playing a role in positioning and supporting; when the inner rod 6 is pulled up or pressed down, since the end face of the positioning pin 9 is spherical, a force with the contact point pointing to the center of the ball can be formed at the contact between the end face of the positioning pin 9 and the positioning groove 601. This force can be decomposed into a force along the positioning pin 9 and a force along the length direction of the inner rod 6. When the force along the positioning pin 9 is greater than the elastic force of the positioning spring 8, the positioning spring 8 is compressed, and the positioning pin 9 withdraws from the positioning groove 601, and the positioning is released. The positioning groove 601 of this embodiment is a hemispherical groove adapted to the positioning pin 9, which can reduce the pulling force or pressure required for releasing the positioning. In addition, as Figure 8 shown, the positioning pin 9 includes a positioning end 901 and a positioning rod 902. The end face of the positioning end 901 is spherical. The positioning end 901 is connected to the positioning rod 902, and an installation ring 903 is provided between the positioning end 901 and the positioning rod 902. The cross-sectional dimension of the installation ring 903 is larger than that of the positioning rod 902. The positioning spring 8 is sleeved on the positioning rod 902. The free length of the positioning spring 8 is greater than the length of the positioning rod 902. Sleeving the positioning spring 8 on the positioning rod 902 can play a guiding role in the compression and recovery of the positioning spring 8, ensuring the extension and withdrawal of the positioning pin 9. In this embodiment, the outer rod 5 is provided in the foot massager 1, the positioning seat 7 is installed on the top of the foot massager 1, and the inner rod 6 extends out from the top surface of the foot massager 1, which can provide stable support for the positioning seat 7.

[0035] The lower limb massage device of this embodiment further includes a limiting mechanism. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting spring 10 and a limiting pin 11. A placement groove 702 perpendicular to the inner rod 6 is provided on the positioning seat 7. The limiting spring 10 and the limiting pin 11 are located in the placement groove 702. The two ends of the limiting spring 10 respectively abut against the limiting pin 11 and the bottom of the placement groove 702. A limiting groove 602 is provided on the side of the inner rod 6 opposite to the notch of the placement groove 702. The limiting groove 602 is located at the bottom end of the inner rod 6. When the inner rod 6 is stretched or compressed and moves, the limiting pin 11 abuts against the side of the inner rod 6, and the limiting spring 10 is in a compressed state. When the inner rod 6 is stretched to the maximum extent, the limiting groove 602 communicates with the placement groove 702, and the limiting pin 11 pops out under the elastic force of the limiting spring 10 and snaps into the limiting groove 602, preventing the inner rod 6 from being continuously pulled out and disengaging from the outer rod 5, preventing the inner rod 6 from slipping, avoiding the leg massage machine 2 from detaching from the foot massage machine 1, and ensuring the structural connection and integrity. Further, as Figure 9 shown, the limiting pin 11 has a limiting end 1101 and a main body end 1102 opposite to the limiting end 1101. The limiting end 1101 is the end opposite to the inner rod 6. The bottom surface of the limiting end 1101 is a plane, and the end surface 1103 of the limiting end 1101 is an inclined surface that slopes upward from its bottom surface to the main body end. After the limiting pin 11 snaps into the limiting groove 602, when the inner rod 6 is continuously stretched, the bottom surface of the limiting end 1101 abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove 602 to prevent the movement of the inner rod 6; when the inner rod 6 is compressed, the groove wall of the limiting groove 602 abuts against the end surface 1103 of the limiting end. Since the end surface 1103 of the limiting end is an inclined surface, under the action of pressure, the groove wall of the limiting groove 602 moves relative to the end surface 1103 of the limiting end, and the limiting pin 11 can be pushed away from the limiting groove 602, enabling the inner rod 6 to move downward but not upward, playing a limiting role. The limiting end 1101 of this embodiment is a right trapezoid.

[0036] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides a lower limb massage device. The leg massage machine 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting rod through a connecting shaft 3, and the connecting shaft 3 is horizontally arranged, enabling the leg massage machine 2 to rotate around the horizontal direction. In the initial position, the slot 201 is vertically arranged, and the calf of the leg can be massaged; when the leg massage machine 2 rotates 90°, the slot 201 is horizontally arranged, and the knee and thigh can be massaged; when the leg massage machine 2 rotates 180°, the slot 201 is vertically arranged but the leg massage machine 2 is flipped, and the front part of the calf can be massaged. The lower limb massage device of this embodiment can massage the foot of the calf, the calf of the leg, the front part of the calf, the knee and the thigh, serving multiple purposes with complete functions.

[0037] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and replacements can be made, and these improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
