[0032] like Figure 1 ~ Figure 2 A massage movement structure for a seat includes a movement body, wherein the movement body includes a driving mechanism 1, an eccentric wheel mechanism 2, a connecting rod mechanism 3 and a massage adjustment mechanism 4; the action end of the driving mechanism 1 is connected to the eccentric wheel mechanism 2, and the eccentric wheel mechanism 2 is rotatably arranged through the driving mechanism 1; the connecting rod mechanism 3 is composed of a plurality of connecting rods 31 hinged in pairs to form a closed loop, and the massage adjustment mechanism 4 includes a plurality of massage wheels 41 and a massage shaft 42 connected to the massage wheels 41, and the massage shaft 42 is inserted into the connection point between two adjacent connecting rods 31 of the connecting rod mechanism 3, and the massage shaft 42 is connected to the eccentric wheel mechanism 2; The new seat massage movement structure designed in this scheme adopts the cooperation of eccentric wheel mechanism 2 and multi-link mechanism 3, and sets the massage head on the node where the two rods of the link mechanism 3 move. Then, the rotation of the eccentric wheel mechanism 2 drives the link mechanism 3 to operate, so that the massage head can realize four-way reciprocating motion in the vertical direction, thereby achieving reciprocating massage of multiple massage heads, increasing the massage area, and multiple massage heads can be linked to simulate the grasping and pinching action of human hands.

[0033] The preferred embodiment is: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving mechanism 1 includes a motor 11, and the motor 11 is correspondingly arranged with a gear shaft transmission mechanism 5. The gear shaft transmission mechanism 5 includes a driving gear, a driven gear 51 and a rotating shaft 52. The driving gear is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the motor 11, and the driven gear 51 is meshed with the driving gear. The driven gear 51 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 52; the motor 11 rotates and transmits through the gear set to make the rotating shaft 52 start to rotate. The rotating shaft 52 is also a transmission structure, which is mainly connected with the eccentric wheel mechanism 2, so as to achieve the function of the motor 11 driving the eccentric wheel to rotate.

[0034] The preferred embodiment is: Figure 5As shown, the eccentric wheel mechanism 2 includes an eccentric wheel 21, a bearing 22, a bearing seat 23, a first sheet metal 24 and a second sheet metal 25. The inner ring of the bearing 22 is installed on the eccentric wheel 21, and the outer ring of the bearing 22 is installed in the bearing 22 seat. The first sheet metal 24 connects the eccentric wheel 21 and the inner ring of the bearing 22, and the second sheet metal 25 connects the bearing 22 seat and the outer ring of the bearing 22. The eccentric wheel 21 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 52; the rotation of the rotating shaft 52 drives the eccentric wheel 21 to rotate, the bearing 22 acts on the eccentric wheel 21, and the bearing seat 23, the first sheet metal 24 and the second sheet metal 25 are fixedly installed in cooperation.

[0035] The preferred embodiment is: Figure 6 As shown, the massage adjustment mechanism 4 also includes a compression spring 43, a mounting support seat 44 and a retaining spring 45. The massage wheel 41 is rotatably arranged at the upper end of the massage shaft 42. The compression spring 43 is sleeved on the massage shaft 42 and located at the bottom of the massage wheel 41. The bottom of the massage shaft 42 passes through the connection point between two adjacent connecting rods 31 of the connecting rod mechanism 3 and is fixedly installed on the mounting support seat 44 through the retaining spring 45. When the massage head is subjected to force, it will perform radial rotation around the massage shaft 42, and the compression spring 43 will perform axial expansion and contraction. Thus, the massage wheel 41 can adapt to the human body curve. Make the massage more comfortable. The mounting support seat 44 is made of plastic. Steel or iron materials usually need to be welded when two parts are connected. In order to simplify the installation structure, the mounting support seat 44 made of plastic material can make the massage shaft 42 and the guide shaft 47 more convenient to install.

[0036] A preferred embodiment is as follows: the massage adjustment mechanism 4 also includes a guide shaft 47 and a sleeve 48, one end of the guide shaft 47 is provided with a mounting hole, the massage shaft 42 is arranged through the mounting hole, the other end of the guide shaft 47 is movably arranged inside the sleeve 48, and the sleeve 48 is fixedly mounted on the base 6; when the massage shaft 42 moves through the four-link mechanism 31, in order to ensure its stability during translation, the guide shaft 47 is set to limit the position, and the movement of the guide shaft 47 in the sleeve 48 can play a good limiting role on the massage shaft 42.

[0037] The preferred embodiment is as follows: a connecting hole is provided on the bearing seat 23 of the eccentric wheel mechanism, and the massage shaft 42 passes through the connecting hole of the bearing seat 23, the connecting point between two adjacent connecting rods, and the mounting hole provided on the guide shaft 47 at the same time; therefore, when the eccentric wheel rotates, it can drive the entire four-bar linkage 3 to start operating.

[0038] In summary, the beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: the eccentric wheel drives the hinge connection to perform 4-way reciprocating massage, simulating the grasping and pinching action of human hands, while the traditional massage mechanism can only perform swing massage, each massage wheel 41 is independent and cannot be linked, and the 4-way can also be changed to 2-way according to the needs of different customers; the massage head performs radial rotation around the axis, and performs axial up and down movement under the action of the compression spring 43, so that the massage wheel 41 can freely adjust the height according to the back curve of the human body. The traditional massage wheel 41 does not have an adaptive spring adjustment. It is in hard contact with the human body and the massage comfort is poor.

[0039] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed by the present invention shall still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
