[0063] The following further elaborates on this application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the relevant invention and not for limiting the invention. Additionally, it should be noted that for ease of description, only parts related to the invention are shown in the drawings.

[0064] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The following will elaborate on this application in detail with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0065] In this embodiment, a specific structure of a foot massage device 10 is specifically given.

[0066] The foot massage device 10 includes: a bearing substrate 11 and at least one adjustable cover plate 12 mating with the bearing substrate 11. An access opening for facilitating the entry of the foot is provided on the cover plate 12; and a driving mechanism 13 capable of driving the cover plate 12 to move in a direction closer to or farther from the bearing substrate 11; it further includes: a massage component provided on the bearing substrate 11 and / or the cover plate 12.

[0067] Among them:

[0068] The bearing substrate 11 is a basic component for installing other components, such as: the cover plate, or connecting with other external components, such as: connecting one end of it to the seat frame through a telescopic structure. Optionally, it has a flat plate structure; alternatively, pulleys for facilitating its sliding are provided at its bottom. Further, a foot placement groove is provided on the bearing substrate 11 to better accommodate the user's foot.

[0069] The covering plate 12 is used to mate with the bearing substrate, and a space capable of accommodating the foot is formed between the two. Optionally, the shape of the covering plate 12 is a shape capable of covering the surface of the human foot, such as: a general shoe upper structure. Specifically, the covering plate 12 is provided with an entrance for the foot to enter it.

[0070] To facilitate the adjustment of the space between the bearing substrate 11 and the covering plate 12, in this embodiment, it is designed that the covering plate 12 can be adjusted relative to the bearing substrate 11. Specifically, in this embodiment, a driving mechanism 13 is also designed that can drive the covering plate 12 to move in a direction closer to or farther from the bearing substrate 11. Optionally, the actual manner adopted by the driving mechanism is not limited, as long as the above functions can be achieved.

[0071] The driving mechanism is used to adjust the position of the covering plate relative to the bearing substrate. Of course, during the adjustment process of the driving mechanism, the covering plate can be fixed at a certain position relative to the bearing substrate.

[0072] Optionally, the driving mechanism can be a driving cylinder and related components connected to the driving cylinder to drive the covering plate to move relative to the bearing substrate.

[0073] The driving mechanism can also be a driving motor and related components connected to the driving motor to drive the covering plate to move relative to the bearing substrate. For example: the driving structure includes: a driving motor, a speed reducer and a driving link connected thereto.

[0074] It should be known that in this embodiment, a massage component is also incorporated. The specific form of the massage component is not limited, such as:

[0075] A massage airbag component provided on the covering plate 12 and / or the bearing substrate 11 and an air source control component for supplying air source to the massage airbag component; the massage airbag component includes, but is not limited to: air bags provided on the inner wall of the covering plate 12 and / or the bearing substrate 11.

[0076] Massage airbags can be designed on the covering plate 12 and / or the bearing substrate 11. Specifically, the distribution quantity and position are not limited here.

[0077] Specifically, for the air source control component for supplying air source to the airbag component, its structure can adopt the existing structure in the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0078] Optionally, the air source can adopt the vehicle body air source.

[0079] Another example is:

[0080] An electromagnetic massage component provided on the covering plate 12 and / or the bearing substrate 11.

[0081] Optionally, the electromagnetic massage component includes, but is not limited to, an electromagnetic massage pole piece, and its specific structure may adopt the existing structure in the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0082] For another example:

[0083] A roller massage component provided on the carrier substrate 11.

[0084] The structure of the roller massage component will not be elaborated here. To ensure the stable reliability of the roller massage component during use, the roller massage component in this embodiment is provided on the carrier substrate.

[0085] Similarly, for another example:

[0086] A vibration massage component provided on the carrier substrate 11, including, but not limited to, a vibration motor.

[0087] Specific application scenarios:

[0088] In specific application scenarios, the carrier substrate can be mated with two cover plates, or one cover plate.

[0089] When the carrier substrate is mated with a single cover plate, it can form a foot massage device that can meet the use of both feet with another set of carrier substrate and a single cover plate.

[0090] For specific application scenario one, please refer to Figure 1a , when the carrier substrate is mated with two cover plates, at this time, the structure of a single cover plate can accommodate a single foot. The number of driving mechanisms can be one, that is, located between the two cover plates, for synchronously driving the two cover plates to move relative to the carrier substrate; the number of driving mechanisms is two, that is, respectively mated with the two cover plates to respectively drive the two cover plates to move relative to the carrier substrate.

[0091] For specific application scenario two, please refer to Figure 1b , when the carrier substrate is mated with a single cover plate, at this time, a single foot can be accommodated between the carrier substrate and the single cover plate. To accommodate both feet, another set of carrier substrate needs to be mated with a single cover plate to accommodate the other foot. Please refer to Figure 1c . In this state, a driving mechanism is provided between each set of carrier substrate and a single cover plate to drive the cover plate to move relative to the carrier substrate.

[0092] For specific application scenario three, please refer to Figure 1d , when the carrier substrate is mated with a single cover plate, to accommodate both feet, the single cover plate needs to have a groove structure that can accommodate both feet. In this state, two driving structures symmetrically distributed on both sides of the single cover plate can be adopted.

[0093] Based on the above various specific embodiments, by driving the covering plate through the driving mechanism, the covering plate can be moved in a direction closer to or away from the bearing substrate, realizing the adjustability of the overall structure of the foot massage device, being able to adapt to the space of a vehicle-mounted type, and at the same time being able to avoid occupying too much space; of course, based on the above design, the internal space of the foot massage device can also be adjusted to adapt to the sizes of different feet, increasing specific application scenarios.

[0094] In a preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a vertically opposite sliding fit relationship is formed between the side edges of the bearing substrate 11 and the covering plate 12. When the driving mechanism 13 drives the covering plate 12 to move up and down relative to the bearing substrate 11, it can drive the covering plate 12 to move away from or closer to the bearing substrate 11.

[0095] In this embodiment, taking the bearing substrate as a reference, the covering plate can move up and down relative to the bearing substrate under the drive of the driving mechanism. During the process of the covering plate moving up and down relative to the bearing substrate, the covering plate will correspondingly move away from or closer to the bearing substrate, making the space formed between the two for accommodating the foot adjustable.

[0096] Specifically, the driving mechanism 13 includes: at least one set of driving units.

[0097] Optionally, the driving unit includes: as Figure 2a , a driving cylinder 131 provided on the bearing substrate 11 and a driving rod 132 connected to the piston end of the driving cylinder 131; the free end of the driving rod 132 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the covering plate 12.

[0098] As the free end of the driving cylinder expands and contracts, it can drive the covering plate to move up and down.

[0099] Alternatively, the driving unit includes: as Figure 3a , a driving motor 133 provided on the bearing substrate 11, a ball screw nut pair cooperating with the driving motor 133, and a screw cooperating ring 134 provided on the covering plate 12 and cooperating with the screw.

[0100] In the above design, the screw in the ball screw nut pair is vertically arranged. As the motor rotates, it drives the screw to rotate. During the rotation of the screw, the screw cooperating ring moves up and down along the screw, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the covering plate relative to the bearing substrate.

[0101] In Figure 2a , on the basis of this, when the driving unit is located on one side of the bearing substrate, in order to ensure the stability of the covering plate during the up and down movement process, a limiting component can be provided on the other side of the bearing substrate.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 2b and 2cA limiting column 40 is provided on the side of the cover plate 12 relatively close to the supporting substrate 11; and an accommodating groove 41 capable of accommodating the limiting column 40 to slide up and down therein is provided on the supporting substrate 11.

[0103] Figure 2b In the state where the cover plate is at the highest position relative to the supporting base plate, it is convenient for the foot to enter the space between the two and enter the massage state.

[0104] Figure 2c In the state where the cover plate is at the lowest position relative to the supporting base plate, the entire foot massage device can be stored in a small space and is easy to carry.

[0105] exist Figure 2b and 2c In the process of the cover plate moving up and down relative to the supporting substrate, the limiting column can enter the receiving groove or move away from the receiving groove.

[0106] During the upward movement of the cover plate, a top stopper can be provided on the top of the lead screw to prevent the cover plate from moving upward beyond the limit. During the downward movement of the cover plate, the design of the receiving slot can prevent the cover plate from moving downward beyond the limit.

[0107] Please refer to Figure 3b and 3c The side wall of the limiting column 40 is provided with an annular sliding groove 42 and the supporting substrate 11 is provided with a limiting ring 43 that can cooperate with the sliding groove 42 on the limiting column 40.

[0108] Figure 3b In the state where the cover plate is at the highest position relative to the supporting base plate, it is convenient for the foot to enter the space between the two and enter the massage state.

[0109] Figure 3c In the state where the cover plate is at the lowest position relative to the supporting base plate, the entire foot massage device can be stored in a small space and is easy to carry.

[0110] exist Figure 3b and 3c During the vertical movement of the cover plate relative to the support base, the slide groove on the limit column can cooperate with the limit ring and move relative to the limit ring. In addition, the cooperation between the slide groove and the limit ring can limit the lifting process of the cover plate to prevent over-limit lifting.

[0111] It should be known that although Figure 2b , Figure 3b Different limit assembly structures are used, but the limit assembly structures used by the two can be interchanged. Of course, other limit assemblies that can realize linear constraints on the cover plate during the upward and downward movement can also be applied to this technical solution.

[0112] In a preferred embodiment of the present technical solution, one end of the cover plate 12 is rotatably connected to the bearing substrate 11, and the other end of the cover plate 12 is a free end; when the driving mechanism 13 drives the free end of the cover plate 12 to rotate, it can drive the cover plate 12 to approach or move away from the bearing substrate 11.

[0113] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4a , taking the bearing substrate as a reference, one end of the cover plate is rotatably connected to the bearing substrate, and under the drive of the driving mechanism, the free end of the cover plate can rotate relative to the bearing substrate. During the rotation of the cover plate relative to the bearing substrate, the cover plate will correspondingly move away from or approach the bearing substrate, so that the space for accommodating the foot between the two can be adjusted.

[0114] Figure 4a The different working positions of the cover plate are presented in Figure 4b . Among them, the dotted line position of the cover plate is its non-working state; the solid line position of the cover plate is its working state. Specifically, please refer to Figure 4c . In this figure, the cover plate is in the working state. Please refer to

[0115] Specifically, in Figure 4a , Figure 4b and Figure 4c , to achieve the rotatable connection of the cover plate relative to the bearing substrate, a curved stroke groove 122 is provided on one side of the cover plate 12, and a constraint column 1221 for the free end to enter the stroke groove 122 is provided on the bearing substrate 11; a driving mechanism 13 is provided on one side of the bearing substrate 11 corresponding to the curved stroke groove 122, and an output end of the driving mechanism 13 is connected with a driving link 111; a free end of the driving link 111 is fixedly connected to a side wall of the cover plate 12.

[0116] In the above design, please refer to Figure 4a , Figure 4b and Figure 4c , the driving mechanism can be a cylinder. Please refer to Figure 4d , Figure 4e and Figure 4f , the driving mechanism can also be a driving motor and a ball screw nut pair cooperating with the driving motor. The driving link includes: a first link and a second link hinged to each other. A curved stroke groove capable of cooperating with the free end of the second link is provided on one side of the cover plate.

[0117] When the driving mechanism is a cylinder, the piston end of the driving mechanism is connected to the free end of the first connecting rod; the telescopic movement of the piston end of the cylinder can drive the first connecting rod to move horizontally, and the free end of the second connecting rod hinged to the first connecting rod is connected to one side wall of the covering plate. When the driving connecting rod 111 drives the covering plate 12 to move towards the direction close to the bearing substrate 11, the cooperation between the constraint column 1221 and the travel groove 122 can define the movement trajectory of the covering plate 12 relative to it.

[0118] When the driving mechanism is a driving motor and a ball screw nut pair, the nut pair is connected to the free end of the first connecting rod. The rotation of the driving motor can drive the screw to rotate, and then drive the nut pair connected to the screw to move horizontally along the axial direction of the screw, driving the first connecting rod to move horizontally. The free end of the second connecting rod hinged to the first connecting rod is connected to one side wall of the covering plate. When the driving connecting rod 111 drives the covering plate 12 to move towards the direction close to the bearing substrate 11, the cooperation between the constraint column 1221 and the travel groove 122 can define the movement trajectory of the covering plate 12 relative to it.

[0119] The driving mechanism drives the first connecting rod to move away from it, and the first connecting rod drives the free end of the second connecting rod to move along the curved path of the travel groove 122, thereby driving the covering plate to rotate relative to the bearing substrate as the travel groove moves.

[0120] Preferably, a first position electrode is provided on the constraint column 1221 and a second position electrode is provided at the bottom end of the travel groove 122; when the driving connecting rod 111 drives the covering plate 12 to move away from the bearing substrate 11 until the constraint column 1221 reaches the bottom end of the travel groove 122, the second position electrode is electrically connected to the first position electrode.

[0121] Based on the above design, when the first position electrode and the second position electrode are electrically connected, a conduction signal is sent to the control unit, and a signal is sent to control the driving mechanism to stop operating, realizing the intelligent limit control of the driving mechanism.

[0122] Alternatively, on the premise that the covering plate and the bearing substrate are rotatably connected, the following connection structure can also be adopted.

[0123] Please refer to Figure 13a 、 13b and 13c, an elastic tension body 60 is fixedly connected to the bearing substrate 11 and a tension guiding column 61 is separately arranged from the elastic tension body 60; a tension hanging point 62 is provided on the covering plate 12; a cable 63 is provided at the free end of the elastic tension body 60 and the free end of the cable 63 bypasses the tension guiding column 61 and is connected to the tension hanging point 62; a top support airbag group 65 for supporting the height of the covering plate 12 is further provided between the bearing substrate 11 and the covering plate 12.

[0124] Based on the above design, gas is input into the top support airbag to make it expand, thereby causing the free end of the cover plate to rotate relative to the supporting base plate. In this state, the tension and retraction hanging point on the free end of the cover plate drives the tension and retraction rope to stretch, thereby driving the elastic tension and retraction body to extend.

[0125] Optionally, when the supporting airbag supports the cover plate to the maximum height, the tension and retraction hanging point corresponds to the tension and retraction guide column 61.

[0126] In the above design, the elastic tensile body can serve as a limiter in the entire process.

[0127] When the space between the cover plate and the supporting substrate needs to be reduced, the gas in the supporting airbag is released. At this time, the elastic tensioning body pulls the pull rope, thereby driving the free end of the cover plate to rotate to the lowest position.

[0128] Optionally, the supporting airbag has a curved structure. When there is an inner lining between the cover plate and the supporting substrate, the supporting airbag is arranged between the cover plate and the inner lining.

[0130] exist Figure 5a and Figure 5b In the embodiment, the cover plate comprises two parts: one part is a cover panel 126, which is mounted on the carrier substrate 11 and extends along its circumference; the other part is an adjustable cover plate 127, which is rotatably connected to the free edge of the top of the cover panel 126. Specifically, the adjustable cover plate can have a curved structure to provide excellent coverage for the foot. Based on this design, the drive mechanism 13 can drive the free end of the adjustable cover plate 127 to rotate, thereby driving the adjustable cover plate 127 toward or away from the carrier substrate 11.

[0131] Optionally, the adjustable cover plate has an overall U-shaped structure, and the width of its two free ends is greater than the width of the covering panel. When the adjustable cover plate is rotated to a low position, its two free ends can be lower than the height of the covering panel to minimize the overall foot.

[0132] In this embodiment, the design of the driving structure can refer to Figure 4a - 4c as well as Figure 4d - 4e Design of the mid-drive structure.

[0133] Optionally, in order to prevent the adjustable cover plate from rotating excessively upwards during the upward rotation process, a limit stop piece 50 is provided on the edge of the covering apron that mates with the adjustable cover plate.

[0134] In the design of this embodiment, when the adjustable cover plate rotates to the lowest position, the structure of the overall foot massage device is reduced, which is convenient for storage; when the adjustable cover plate rotates to the highest position, it is convenient for the feet to enter.

[0135] Please refer to Figure 13d and 13e , an elastic contraction body 60 and a contraction guiding column 61 separated from the elastic contraction body 60 are fixedly connected to the bearing substrate 11; a contraction hanging point 62 is provided on the covering apron; a cable rope 63 is provided at the free end of the elastic contraction body 60 and the free end of the cable rope 63 bypasses the contraction guiding column 61 and is connected to the contraction hanging point 62; a top support airbag group 65 for supporting the height of the covering apron is further provided between the bearing substrate 11 and the covering apron.
