[0029] When the horizontal movement control "left" button is pressed, the stepper motor II rotates in the positive direction and outputs kinetic energy, which is adjusted by the gear reducer, and drives the H-shaped homemade mounting part 42 to move left along the rack at a speed of 3 meters per minute; when the horizontal movement control "right" button is pressed, the stepper motor II rotates in the reverse direction and outputs kinetic energy, which is adjusted by the gear reducer, and drives the H-shaped homemade mounting part 42 to move right along the rack at a speed of 3 meters per minute.

[0031] When the angle adjustment "large" button is pressed, the stepper motor III19 rotates in the positive direction and outputs kinetic energy to the worm 20, which meshes with the worm wheel for transmission. At the same time, the worm wheel is linked to the pinion 44, which meshes with the large gear 18 for transmission. The rotation of the pinion 44 drives the large gear 18 to rotate, and the large gear 18 drives the entire angle adjustment mechanism thereon to rotate backward; when the angle adjustment "small" button is pressed, the stepper motor III19 rotates in the reverse direction and outputs kinetic energy to the worm 20, which meshes with the worm wheel for transmission. At the same time, the worm wheel is linked to the pinion 44, which meshes with the large gear 18 for transmission, and the large gear 18 drives the entire angle adjustment mechanism thereon to rotate forward.

[0032] When the "start" button is pressed, the air pump starts, and when the piston rod is pushed to reciprocate, the soft beating rod is pushed to flip forward and backward to complete the back beating action. When the "pause" button is pressed, the air pump stops moving.

[0033] The present invention is simple to operate and easy to use. It can be used by operating the button next to the armrest. At present, the number of people who sit for a long time in my country is increasing. This invention can effectively relieve user fatigue by tapping the back, and is highly practical. At the same time, the design of the rear automatic back-tapping device and the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism have a wide range of applications and can achieve precise tapping of various parts of the back of the human body. The overall structure is simple, occupies a small area and has a low cost, which can meet the needs of most users.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. The structure described in the specification and drawings of the present invention, directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, should be included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
