DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] See also Figure 1-11 The present invention provides a technical solution: a shock absorbing mechanism for a massage chair base, comprising two parallel beams 1 and two parallel arc guide rails 2, wherein the beams 1 and the arc guide rails 2 are arranged one-to-one, a mounting plate 3 is connected between the two beams 1, an arc guide groove along the arc guide rail 2 is provided on the inner side of the arc guide rail 2, and the arc guide rail 2 and the beam 1 on the same side are connected via two shock absorbing mechanisms 4;

[0033] The shock absorbing mechanism 4 includes a shock absorber 41, the fixed end of the shock absorber 41 is connected to the cross beam 1, the telescopic end of the shock absorber 41 is connected to a spring cover plate 42, a spring fixing seat 43 is installed on the outer wall of the fixed end of the shock absorber 41, and the spring fixing seat 43 is slidably connected to the shock absorber 41, a first shock absorbing spring 44 is connected between the spring fixing seat 43 and the spring cover plate 42, a connecting head 45 connected to the arc guide rail 2 is arranged on the top of the spring cover plate 42, an adjusting component 46 is installed on the mounting plate 3, the adjusting component 46 is connected to the spring fixing seat 43, and the adjusting component 46 drives the spring fixing seat 43 to slide up and down along the outer wall of the fixed end of the shock absorber 41.

[0034] Specifically, the adjustment component 46 includes a driving member 461, which is installed on the mounting plate 3. The power output end of the driving member 461 is connected to a screw elevator 462 which is arranged one-to-one with the spring fixing seat 43. The side wall of the spring fixing seat 43 is connected to a slider 431, and the slider 431 is threadedly connected to the screw elevator 462.

[0035] From the above description, it can be seen that the driving member drives the screw in the spiral elevator to rotate, and drives the slider and the spring fixing seat to slide, thereby pushing the first shock-absorbing spring to deform, so as to adjust the elasticity of the first shock-absorbing spring, and the spiral elevator has the advantages of high adjustment accuracy, smooth transmission and accurate positioning.

[0036] Specifically, the driving member 461 includes a driving motor 4611 and a rotating shaft 4612. The input shafts of the two spiral elevators 462 on the same side are connected via the rotating shaft 4612. A driven sprocket 4613 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 4612. A driving sprocket 4614 is sleeved on the outer wall of the output end of the driving motor 4611. The driving sprocket 4614 is connected to the driven sprockets 4613 on both sides via a chain 4615.

[0037] From the above description, it can be seen that the power transmission method of transmission shaft and sprocket is adopted, so that only one set of motors is needed to realize the simultaneous operation of multiple sets of screw elevators, which not only reduces the cost of the equipment but also ensures the synchronization between the multiple sets of screw elevators.

[0038] Specifically, a limit strip 411 is disposed on the outer wall of the fixed end of the shock absorber 41 along the sliding direction of the spring fixing seat 43 , and a limit groove cooperating with the limit strip 411 is opened on the inner wall of the spring fixing seat 43 .

[0039] It can be seen from the above description that the stability of the up and down sliding of the spring fixing seat can be ensured by the mutual cooperation between the limiting strip and the limiting groove.

[0040] Specifically, a bearing seat 4616 that cooperates with the rotating shaft 4612 is provided on the mounting plate 3.

[0041] It can be seen from the above description that the bearing seat can provide support for the rotating shaft.

[0042] Specifically, the shock absorbing mechanism 4 also includes a limiting assembly 47, which includes a fixing ring 471 and four limiting columns 472. The fixing ring 471 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed end of the shock absorber 41, and the four limiting columns 472 are installed at equal angles on a side of the spring cover plate 42 close to the spring fixing seat 43. The fixing ring 471 is penetrated by a first through hole 473 that cooperates with the limiting column 472. When the shock absorber 41 is in an unstressed state, the free end of the limiting column 472 passes through the first through hole 473 and is flush with the side of the fixing ring 471 away from the spring cover plate 42. A flip piece 474 that cooperates with the first through hole 473 is provided on the side of the spring fixing seat 43 close to the fixing ring 471. When the spring fixing seat 43 slides to the highest position, the flip piece 474 abuts against the fixing ring 471 and causes the flip piece 474 to flip over to cover the first through hole 473.

[0043] From the above description, it can be seen that: when the spring fixing seat is in the highest position, the first through hole is covered by the flip piece, and the limit column is restricted from sliding up and down in the first through hole, so that the shock absorber is in a locked state, and the entire shock absorbing mechanism loses its shock absorbing effect, thereby adapting to different user groups and usage environments.

[0044] Specifically, the spring fixing seat 43 is penetrated by a second through hole 432 which cooperates with the limiting column 472 .

[0045] From the above description, it can be seen that when the position of the spring fixing seat changes, the limit column can pass through the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence during the vibration of the shock absorber, so that the position change of the spring fixing seat will not interfere with the use of the shock absorber, thereby ensuring the normal use of the shock absorber.

[0046] Specifically, a second shock absorbing spring 475 is sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting column 472 , and the second shock absorbing spring 475 is located between the fixing ring 471 and the spring cover plate 42 .

[0047] It can be seen from the above description that the overall damping strength of the damping mechanism can be further improved by providing the second damping spring.

[0048] Specifically, the flip member 474 includes a hinged seat 4741, which is installed on the spring fixed seat 43. A stopper 4742 is hinged on the hinged seat 4741. When the spring fixed seat 43 abuts against the fixing ring 471, when the spring fixed seat 43 slides to the highest position, the side of the stopper 4742 away from the hinged seat 4741 abuts against the fixing ring 471 and covers the first through hole 473. The width of the stopper 4742 is greater than the width of the hinged seat 4741. In the natural state, the side of the stopper 4742 close to the hinged seat 4741 abuts against the side wall of the hinged seat 4741.

[0049] It can be known from the above description that the first through hole can be covered by turning over the stopper, thereby playing a role of limiting.

[0050] A specific application example of this embodiment is:

[0051] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown: a shock absorbing mechanism for a massage chair base, comprising two parallel beams 1 and two parallel arc guide rails 2, wherein the beams 1 and the arc guide rails 2 are arranged one to one, a mounting plate 3 is connected between the two beams 1, an arc guide groove is provided on the inner side of the arc guide rail 2 along the arc guide rail 2, and the arc guide rail 2 and the beam 1 on the same side are connected via two shock absorbing mechanisms 4;

[0052] Please refer to Figure 4 , 5 , 7 and 8: the shock absorbing mechanism 4 includes a shock absorber 41, the fixed end of the shock absorber 41 is connected to the cross beam 1, the telescopic end of the shock absorber 41 is connected to a spring cover plate 42, a spring fixing seat 43 is installed on the outer wall of the fixed end of the shock absorber 41, and the spring fixing seat 43 is slidably connected to the shock absorber 41, a first shock absorbing spring 44 is connected between the spring fixing seat 43 and the spring cover plate 42, a connector 45 connected to the arc guide rail 2 is arranged on the top of the spring cover plate 42, an adjusting component 46 is installed on the mounting plate 3, the adjusting component 46 is connected to the spring fixing seat 43, and the adjusting component 46 drives the spring fixing seat 43 to slide up and down along the outer wall of the fixed end of the shock absorber 41.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 4As shown: the adjustment component 46 includes a driving member 461, which is installed on the mounting plate 3. The power output end of the driving member 461 is connected to a spiral elevator 462 which is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the spring fixing seat 43. The side wall of the spring fixing seat 43 is connected to a slider 431, and the slider 431 is threadedly connected to the spiral elevator 462. A limit strip 411 is arranged on the outer wall of the fixed end of the shock absorber 41 along the sliding direction of the spring fixing seat 43. A limit groove which cooperates with the limit strip 411 is arranged on the inner wall of the spring fixing seat 43. The driving member drives the screw in the spiral elevator to rotate, and drives the slider and the spring fixing seat to slide, thereby pushing the first shock-absorbing spring to deform, so as to adjust the elasticity of the first shock-absorbing spring. The spiral elevator has the advantages of high adjustment accuracy, stable transmission and accurate positioning, and the stability of the spring fixing seat sliding up and down can be ensured by the mutual cooperation between the limit strip and the limit groove.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 6 As shown: the driving member 461 includes a driving motor 4611 and a rotating shaft 4612, the input shafts of the two spiral elevators 462 on the same side are connected through the rotating shaft 4612, the outer wall of the rotating shaft 4612 is provided with a driven sprocket 4613, the outer wall of the output end of the driving motor 4611 is provided with a driving sprocket 4614, the driving sprocket 4614 and the driven sprockets 4613 on both sides are connected by a chain 4615, and the power is transmitted by the transmission shaft and the sprocket, so that only one set of motors is needed to realize the simultaneous operation of multiple sets of spiral elevators, which not only reduces the cost of the equipment but also ensures the synchronization between the multiple sets of spiral elevators, and a bearing seat 4616 that cooperates with the rotating shaft 4612 is provided on the mounting plate 3, and the rotating shaft can be supported by setting the bearing seat.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 7 and 8As shown: the shock absorbing mechanism 4 also includes a limiting component 47, the limiting component 47 includes a fixing ring 471 and four limiting columns 472, the fixing ring 471 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed end of the shock absorber 41, and the four limiting columns 472 are installed at equal angles on a side of the spring cover 42 close to the spring fixing seat 43, the outer wall of the limiting column 472 is sleeved with a second shock absorbing spring 475, and the second shock absorbing spring 475 is located between the fixing ring 471 and the spring cover 42. By arranging the second shock absorbing spring, the overall shock absorbing strength of the shock absorbing mechanism can be further improved. The fixing ring 471 is penetrated by a first through hole 473 that cooperates with the limiting column 472. When the shock absorber 41 is in an unstressed state, the free end of the limiting column 472 passes through the first through hole 473 and is flush with the side of the fixing ring 471 away from the spring cover 42, and the spring fixing seat 43 is close to the side of the fixing ring 471 The surface is provided with a flip piece 474 that cooperates with the first through hole 473. When the spring fixing seat 43 slides to the highest position, the flip piece 474 abuts against the fixing ring 471 and makes the flip piece 474 flip over to cover the first through hole 473. When the spring fixing seat is at the highest position, the first through hole is covered by the flip piece to limit the limit column from sliding up and down in the first through hole, so that the shock absorber is in a locked state, and the entire shock absorbing mechanism loses its shock absorbing effect, so as to adapt to different user groups and usage environments. In addition, the spring fixing seat 43 is penetrated by a second through hole 432 that cooperates with the limit column 472, so that when the position of the spring fixing seat changes, the limit column can pass through the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence during the vibration of the shock absorber, so that the position change of the spring fixing seat will not interfere with the use of the shock absorber, thereby ensuring the normal use of the shock absorber.

[0056] Please refer to Fig.10 and 11 As shown: the flip member 474 includes a hinge seat 4741, which is mounted on the spring fixing seat 43, and a stopper 4742 is hinged on the hinge seat 4741;

[0057] When the spring fixing seat 43 abuts against the fixing ring 471, when the spring fixing seat 43 slides to the highest position, the side of the stopper 4742 away from the hinge seat 4741 abuts against the fixing ring 471 and covers the first through hole 473 (that is, the stopper is in a position perpendicular to the hinge seat, such as Fig.11 );

[0058] The width of the stopper 4742 is greater than the width of the hinge seat 4741. Since the width of the stopper 4742 is greater than the width of the hinge seat 4741, in a natural state, the side of the stopper 4742 close to the hinge seat 4741 abuts against the side wall of the hinge seat 4741 (that is, the hinge seat is in a position parallel to the hinge seat, and the hinge seat can limit the position of the stopper), and in order to enable the stopper to flip along the direction of the first through hole when it abuts against the fixing ring, in this embodiment, an inclined slope 4743 is set on the end of the stopper that is away from the side of the hinge seat 4741 and first contacts the fixing ring, so as to ensure that the stopper can flip smoothly.

[0059] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0060] When the base is used, the base is connected to the chair body by the same installation method as the base in patent application number CN201610549311.2, so that the massage chair can be used normally;

[0061] When the massage chair is in use, when the massage mechanism on the massage chair is turned on, the chair body vibrates to massage the human body, and the vibration force is transmitted to the shock absorbing mechanism 4 through the arc guide rail 2 and the shock absorbing mechanism 4 absorbs the vibration force, thereby ensuring the stability of the base body when the massage chair is in use;

[0062] The shock absorbing principle of the shock absorbing mechanism 4 is as follows: the shock force is transmitted to the connecting head 45 of the shock absorber 41 by the arc guide rail 2, and the connecting head 45 pushes the telescopic end of the shock absorber 41 to slide through the spring cover plate 42, so that the first shock absorbing spring 44 and the second shock absorbing spring 475 are deformed to absorb the shock force. At the same time, the telescopic end of the shock absorber 41 pushes the piston inside it to slide up and down, so that the oil in the cavity of the shock absorber 41 repeatedly flows from one cavity to another cavity through different gaps. At this time, the friction between the hole wall and the oil forms a damping force, so that the shock force absorbed by the first shock absorbing spring 44 is converted into oil heat energy and evaporated into the air, thereby achieving a shock absorbing effect and suppressing the vibration jump of the first shock absorbing spring 44. The shock force is well absorbed under the joint action of the shock absorber 41 and the first shock absorbing spring 44, thereby ensuring the stability of the base body when the massage chair is in use;

[0063] In addition, during the reciprocating sliding process of the spring cover plate 42, the limiting column 472 will be pushed to reciprocate through the first through hole 473 and the second through hole 432, so as not to interfere with the use of the shock absorbing mechanism 4;

[0064] When different groups of users need different damping forces (hardness or softness) of the damping mechanism 4, the driving motor 4611 can be started through the external switch on the massage chair. The driving motor 4611 rotates to drive the active sprocket 4614, and the driven sprockets 4613 and the rotating shaft 4612 on both sides are driven to rotate through the chain 4615, thereby driving the four sets of spiral elevators 462 to rotate and drive the slider 431 and the spring fixing seat 43 to slide up and down. The spring fixing seat 43 slides up and down to push the first damping spring 444 to deform, and then adjust the initial deformation degree of the first damping spring 444 in the natural state (unstressed state) to adjust the hardness or softness of the damping mechanism 4. Then the user sits on the massage chair to use it.

[0065] When the user does not need the shock absorbing mechanism 4 to work (i.e., the shock absorbing mechanism 4 is set to a locked state), the driving motor 4611 is started, and the driving motor 4611 drives the spring fixing seat 43 to slide upward along the shock absorber 41. When one end of the stopper 4742 provided with the inclined surface 4743 on the flipping member 474 contacts the fixing ring 471, as the spring fixing seat 43 continues to slide, the stopper 4742 can be flipped over and cover the first through hole 473 due to the action of the inclined surface 4743. The shock absorbing mechanism 4 is in an unstressed state. At this time, the bottom of the limiting column 472 penetrates into the first through hole 473 and is flush with the bottom of the fixing ring 471, so that the stopper 4742 can contact the limiting column 472 after flipping to limit the limiting column 472, and limit the limiting column 472 from sliding in the first through hole 473, so that the shock absorbing mechanism 4 is in a locked state, so that the overall structure of the base is rigidly connected to adapt to different users. When the shock absorbing mechanism 4 is in a locked state, the user sits on the massage chair to use it;

[0066] When the shock absorbing mechanism 4 is to be opened, the driving motor 4611 drives the spring fixing seat 43 to slide downward, so that the stopper 4742 is separated from the fixing ring 471, and the first through hole 473 is opened. The stopper 4742 is flipped along the hinge position of the hinge seat 4741 under the action of its own gravity (the stopper 4742 can also be flipped by the upper and lower sliding of the limit column 472 and the contact with the stopper 4742 to generate a flipping force).
