Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an abdominal massager, and more particularly to an abdominal massager that can replace manual massage. Background Technology
[0002] My wife suffered her second stroke. She was saved by the hospital, but she has been paralyzed ever since, with stiff limbs. Without abdominal massage, her severe indigestion will not only be difficult to improve, but will also endanger her life. I massage her several times a day, sometimes bending over, sometimes leaning forward—it's very tiring, considering I'm over 80 myself.
[0003] There are millions of paralyzed patients in the world. How wonderful it would be if mechanical massage could replace manual massage. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an abdominal massager that can replace manual massage.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0006] An abdominal massager includes a fixed plate, a fixed shaft, a rotating plate device, a massage device, a power and transmission device, a push plate device, and a housing.
[0007] The plate is a horizontal disc with a main hole, side holes and edge holes.
[0008] The axis of the main hole coincides with the axis of the fixed plate.
[0009] The edge hole is located near the edge of the fixed plate, and its axis is parallel to the axis of the fixed plate.
[0010] The side hole is located between the main hole and the side hole, and the distance between it and the main hole is less than the distance between it and the side hole. Its axis is parallel to the axis of the fixed plate.
[0011] The fixed shaft is inserted into the main hole of the fixed plate and is fixedly connected to the fixed plate. Its axis coincides with the axis of the fixed plate. Its upper end face is flush with the upper surface of the fixed plate, and its lower end extends downward from the lower surface of the fixed plate. A circular groove is opened on the circumferential surface near its lower end.
[0012] The turntable device includes a turntable, an inner sleeve, an upper gear, and a support ring.
[0013] The turntable is a horizontal disc with an outer diameter smaller than that of the fixed disc, and it has a window and a turntable shaft hole.
[0014] The axis of the turntable shaft hole coincides with the axis of the turntable, and its inner diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the fixed shaft.
[0015] The window is a rectangular hole with its axis along the radial direction of the turntable. Its radial length is less than the radius of the turntable. Its outer end is close to the edge of the turntable, and its inner end is close to the turntable shaft hole.
[0016] The inner sleeve has an inner diameter equal to or greater than the outer diameter of the fixed shaft, and its axial length is less than the length of the fixed shaft extending downward. It is movably fitted on the outer circumferential surface of the downwardly extending end of the fixed shaft. Its upper end face is close to the lower surface of the fixed disk, and its lower end is inserted into the turntable shaft hole of the turntable. Its axis coincides with the axis of the turntable, and it is fixedly connected to the turntable. Its lower end face is flush with the lower surface of the turntable.
[0017] The upper gear is a horizontal gear with an outer diameter smaller than that of the turntable and an axial thickness less than 1 / 4 of the axial length of the inner sleeve. It is fixedly mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the upper end of the inner sleeve, with its axis coinciding with the axis of the inner sleeve and its upper surface flush with the upper end face of the inner sleeve.
[0018] The retaining ring is movable and locked in the slot at the lower end of the fixed shaft, and it cannot move axially, thus preventing the inner sleeve from falling downwards.
[0019] The massage device includes a slider, contact blocks, a ball frame, a massage ball, a ball shaft, and a spring.
[0020] The slider is a horizontal rectangular block with a vertical slider hole and a side groove on each side.
[0021] The side groove has a rectangular cross-section, a vertical bottom surface, and the distance between its upper and lower groove walls is equal to or greater than the axial thickness of the turntable.
[0022] The distance between the bottom surfaces of the two side grooves on the slider is equal to or less than the lateral width of the window hole on the turntable, and they respectively engage with the turntable on both sides of the window hole; the slider can slide freely along the window hole, but cannot detach from the window hole.
[0023] The contact block has an inverted right-angled triangle cross section, but its inclined surface is an arc-shaped surface. Its horizontal width is equal to half the horizontal width of the window opening, and its vertical bottom surface is fixedly connected to the inner end surface on the right side of the slider.
[0024] When the slider is located at the inner end of the window, the distance between the vertex of the contact block and the fixed axis is S; when the slider is located at the outer end of the window, the distance between the vertex of the contact block and the fixed axis is L; the maximum sliding stroke of the slider on the window is LS; LS is selected in the range of 7 to 10 centimeters.
[0025] Two springs are located on either side of the slider, in two spring grooves on the upper surface of the turntable, and neither spring protrudes from the upper surface of the turntable. Their outer ends are fixedly connected to the outer ends of the slider on both sides, and their inner ends are fixedly connected to the bottom surfaces of the corresponding spring grooves. They are always in an extended state.
[0026] The ball frame is a vertical cylinder with an outer diameter equal to the inner diameter of the slider hole. It is screwed into the slider hole, and its upper thread meshes with the upper thread of the slider hole. Its lower part is a semi-spherical cavity.
[0027] The massage ball has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the ball cavity, and has a horizontal ball shaft hole with the axis of the ball shaft hole passing through its center.
[0028] The ball shaft has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the ball shaft hole and a length greater than the inner diameter of the ball cavity. After passing through the ball shaft hole, its two ends are fixedly connected to the cavity wall of the ball cavity, and its axis passes through the center of the ball cavity.
[0029] When massaging the abdomen, the massage ball comes into contact with the abdomen.
[0030] The power and transmission device includes a side shaft, reduction gear, transmission gear, electric motor, power gear, and power source.
[0031] The motor operates on a DC safe voltage. Its shaft passes vertically upward through the hole on the top of the fixed plate and extends upward from the top surface of the fixed plate, where it is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed plate at the corresponding position.
[0032] The power supply is an isolated power supply with an input voltage of 220 volts AC and an output voltage of a safe DC voltage. It supplies power to the motor in a controlled manner and is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the stator. It and the motor are located on opposite sides of the stator shaft.
[0033] The side shaft is vertically installed in the side hole of the fixed plate. Its axis is parallel to the axis of the fixed plate. It can rotate freely around the axis, but it cannot move axially. Its upper end extends upward from the upper surface of the fixed plate, and its lower end extends downward from the lower surface of the fixed plate.
[0034] The power gear, which is a horizontal pinion, is fixedly mounted on the upwardly extending end of the machine shaft, and its axis coincides with the axis of the machine shaft.
[0035] The reduction gear has an outer diameter larger than that of the power gear, and a number of teeth larger than that of the power gear. It is fixedly mounted on the upwardly extending end of the side shaft, with its axis coinciding with the axis of the side shaft. The teeth on the reduction gear mesh with the teeth on the power gear.
[0036] The transmission gear has an outer diameter smaller than that of the reduction gear, a number of teeth smaller than that of the reduction gear, and an axial thickness equal to or greater than twice the axial thickness of the upper gear. It is fixedly mounted on the downwardly extending end of the side shaft, with its axis coinciding with the axis of the side shaft. The upper gear teeth mesh with the upper gear teeth. When the motor is working, the rotation speed of the upper gear is selected within the range of 180° to 540° per second, that is, the number of rotations per second that the turntable drives the massage ball to massage the abdomen is selected within the range of 0.5 to 1.5 rotations per second.
[0037] The pusher device includes an outer sleeve, a lower gear, and a pusher plate.
[0038] The outer sleeve has an inner diameter equal to or greater than the outer diameter of the inner sleeve. It is fitted onto the outer circumferential surface of the inner sleeve, and its axis coincides with the axis of the inner sleeve. Its upper end face is close to the lower surface of the upper gear, and its lower end rests on the upper surface of the turntable. It can rotate freely around the axis.
[0039] The lower gear is a horizontal gear with an outer diameter equal to that of the upper gear, an axial thickness equal to that of the upper gear, and a number of teeth less than that of the upper gear. It is fixedly mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the upper end of the outer sleeve, with its axis coinciding with the axis of the outer sleeve. Its upper surface is flush with the upper end face of the outer sleeve, and its teeth mesh with the teeth of the lower part of the transmission gear.
[0040] The pusher is a horizontal spiral disc with a pusher shaft hole. Its outer circumference is formed by a spiral surface, a longitudinal surface, and a transverse surface.
[0041] The axis of the push plate shaft hole is perpendicular to the surface of the push plate, and its inner diameter is equal to the outer diameter of the outer sleeve. The lower end of the outer sleeve is inserted into the hole, and its axis coincides with the axis of the outer sleeve. The outer sleeve is fixedly connected to the push plate, and the lower end of the outer sleeve extends downward from the lower surface of the push plate.
[0042] The spiral surface has a spiral that encircles the axis of the push plate shaft hole by more than half a turn. The distance between its inner end and the axis of the push plate shaft hole is S, and the distance between its outer end and the axis of the push plate shaft hole is approximately equal to L, but less than L.
[0043] The inner end of the vertical surface is fixedly connected to the right end of the horizontal surface, and the vertical surface and the horizontal surface are perpendicular to each other; the outer end of the vertical surface is smoothly and fixedly connected to the outer end of the spiral surface; the left end of the horizontal surface is fixedly connected to the inner end of the spiral surface; when the slider is located at the inner end of the window hole on the turntable, and the vertex of the contact block contacts the inner end of the spiral surface, the vertical surface is located on the right side of the slider, and is close to and parallel to the right side surface of the slider.
[0044] The transmission gear drives the upper gear to rotate 360° clockwise, and at the same time, the transmission gear drives the lower gear to rotate 360°+θ clockwise; that is, the turntable rotates 360° clockwise, and at the same time, the push plate rotates 360°+θ clockwise.
[0045] For ease of calculation, θ may be 30°, 45°, 60°, or 90°.
[0046] The upper gear rotates 360 / θ turns clockwise, while the lower gear rotates 1+360 / θ turns clockwise; that is, the turntable rotates 360θθ turns clockwise, while the push plate rotates 1+360 / θ turns clockwise.
[0047] The turntable is placed on the abdomen. In the initial state, the slider is located at the inner end of the window, and the apex of the contact block is in contact with the inner end of the spiral surface. At this time, the massage ball mounted on the slider is in contact with the abdomen near the navel. Each time the turntable rotates once, the spiral surface on the push plate pushes the apex of the contact block outward along the window by (LS)θ / 360. When the turntable is about to complete its 360 / θ rotation, the push plate is also about to complete its 1+360 / θ rotation. At this time, the apex of the contact block contacts the outer end of the spiral surface, and the slider approaches the outer end of the window. At the same time, the massage ball contacts the abdomen furthest from the navel; when the turntable completes its 360 / θ revolutions, the push plate also completes its 1+360 / θ revolutions. At this point, the two springs pull the slider back to its initial state along the longitudinal plane, and the massage ball contacts the abdomen near the navel again. From the initial state to the completion of the 360 / θ revolutions, the massage ball rolls and massages the abdomen along a spiral line from near the navel outwards for 360 / θ revolutions, and then quickly returns to the abdomen near the navel, thus continuously cycling.
[0048] The housing is a round box, but the turntable and the massage ball protrude from its bottom. Its inner diameter is equal to the outer diameter of the fixed plate, and its box wall is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the fixed plate.
[0049] To avoid damaging the abdominal skin, the person being massaged should wear a tight-fitting top when using this abdominal massager.
[0050] Mechanical massage replaces manual massage, greatly reducing the labor intensity of massage, which is beneficial to improving people's physical fitness and helping paralyzed patients recover as soon as possible.
[0051] With this structure, the lower gear has an outer diameter equal to that of the upper gear, but fewer teeth. Since both the upper and lower gears are driven by the same transmission gear, the lower gear rotates at a higher speed than the upper gear. This is one of the key innovations of this invention.
[0052] With this structure, since the upper gear and the turntable are mounted on the inner sleeve, and the lower gear and the pusher are mounted on the outer sleeve, and since the outer sleeve is fitted onto the inner sleeve, the lower gear rotates at a speed greater than the upper gear, therefore the pusher rotates at a speed greater than the turntable. This is the second key innovation of this invention.
[0053] With this structure, the outer circumference of the push plate is formed by a spiral surface, a longitudinal surface, and a transverse surface. Since the spiral surface encircles the axis of the push plate's shaft hole by more than half a circle, when the push plate rotates, this spiral surface can push the contact block and drive the slider, causing the massage ball to gradually move away from the navel. The massage ball can then rotate and massage the abdomen along a spiral line. Starting near the navel, the push plate rotates 1+360 / θ times, and then the massage ball quickly returns to near the navel, thus continuously cycling. This is the third key innovation of this invention.
[0054] With this structure, the relative height of the ball frame can be adjusted because the threads on the ball frame and the threads on the slider hole mesh with each other, which means the relative height of the massage balls can be adjusted, thus meeting the different requirements of each person for the amount of massage pressure.
[0055] With this structure, the power supply is isolated and its output voltage is a safe DC voltage. Therefore, there is no risk of electric shock when using the abdominal massager to massage the abdomen.
[0056] With this structure, except for the turntable and massage balls which protrude from the bottom of the casing, all other components are hidden inside the casing, eliminating the risk of gears damaging the skin and effectively protecting each component.
[0057] With this structure, the structure is compact, the design is reasonable, and it is sturdy and durable. Attached Figure Description

Figure 3 As shown, when the turntable 6 completes its 360 / θ revolutions, the push plate 9 also completes its 1+360 / θ revolutions. At this time, the two springs 19 pull the slider 15, which quickly returns to its initial state along the longitudinal surface 9c. At the same time, the massage ball 17 comes into contact with the abdomen near the navel. During the process from the initial state to the completion of the 360 / θ revolutions, the massage ball 17 rolls and massages the abdomen along a spiral line from near the navel outwards for 360 / θ revolutions. Then, the massage ball 17 quickly returns to the abdomen near the navel, and this cycle continues.
