[0020] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a portable acupuncture-inspired rehabilitation massage device includes: a body 1, which has a hollow structure and four omnidirectional wheels 2 are respectively provided around the bottom, with the axes of two adjacent omnidirectional wheels 2 being perpendicular; a medicine tank 3, which is located inside the cavity of the body 1, and the bottom of the body 1 is provided with a liquid filling port for the medicine tank 3; multiple sprayers 4, which are located inside the cavity of the body 1 and are evenly distributed around the medicine tank 3, with the liquid supply port 16 of each sprayer 4 communicating with the bottom of the medicine tank 3, and each sprayer 4 having a nozzle penetrating the body 1 at its bottom end, and an upwardly extending plunger 17 inside the sprayer 4, and a pull tab 5 connected to the top of the plunger 17 at its top; and a drive system, the input shaft of which is connected to the wheel axle of each of the omnidirectional wheels 2, and the output shaft of which is provided with a wedge-shaped paddle 6 corresponding to the bottom of the pull tab 5.

[0022] Each of the omnidirectional wheels 2 is equipped with a traveling gear 11. The body 1 contains multiple driven gears 12 that mesh with the traveling gears 11, and each driven gear 12 is equipped with a rotation damper 13. The nozzle contains a syringe 14, and the bottom of the nozzle has a spray hole 15 that communicates with the inside of the syringe 14. The plunger 17 cooperates with the syringe 14, and a spring 18 is provided between the plunger 17 and the top of the injector 4. The liquid supply port 16 corresponds to the bottom end of the plunger 17 and communicates with the inside of the syringe 14.

[0023] With the above setup, during the physiotherapy massage, the omnidirectional wheel 2 passively rotates and, under the action of the rotation damper 13, generates a reaction force on the human skin, thereby achieving the massage effect. The sprayer 4 is driven by the omnidirectional wheel 2. As the machine body 1 moves continuously in all directions, the sprayer 4, through the plunger 17, compresses the physiotherapy agent drawn into the syringe 14, and, under the action of the spring 18, sprays the agent through the spray hole 15 at high pressure, similar to needle-free injection, thus improving the therapeutic effect. This device, through the massage of the omnidirectional wheel 2 and the application of the physiotherapy agent by the sprayer 4, enhances the physiotherapy effect.

[0024] To ensure that the omnidirectional wheel 2 can effectively drive the injector 4, the output shaft is longitudinally positioned in the center of the body 1. Multiple wedge-shaped paddles 6 are provided and are vertically connected to the middle of the output shaft. The top of the output shaft is provided with a toothed plate 7. The drive system includes a first gear connected to the wheel axle; it also includes multiple vertical shafts, each of which meshes with the corresponding first gear through a second gear at its bottom end, and each of the vertical shafts is provided with a third gear at its top end; it also includes multiple horizontal shafts 8, each of which meshes with the third gear through a fourth gear at one end, and the end of each horizontal shaft 8 away from the fourth gear is respectively connected to a terminal gear 10 through a one-way bearing 9, and each terminal gear 10 meshes with the toothed plate 7.

[0025] With the above settings, as the body 1 moves, the omnidirectional wheel 2 rotates repeatedly according to the direction of movement. Under the clamping of the one-way bearing 9, the toothed diaphragm 7 always drives the output shaft to rotate in one direction, and the wedge-shaped paddle 6 sequentially lifts each pull plate 5 upward, thereby completing the energy storage action of the spring 18 of the injector 4.

[0026] A method for using a portable acupuncture-inspired rehabilitation massage device includes the following steps:

[0027] Step 1: Add the physiotherapy agent into the medicine tank 3 through the inlet;

[0028] Step 2: Set the damping of the rotary damper 13;

[0029] Step 3: Control the main body 1 with the handle and place the bottom of the portable acupuncture-inspired rehabilitation massager against the area of ​​the body to be massaged;

[0030] Step 4: By repeatedly rotating the body 1, the omnidirectional wheel 2 triggers the sprayer 4 through the drive system, drawing the physiotherapy agent into the syringe 14;

[0031] Step 5: Use the handle to control the machine body 1 to massage the human body until the entire massage process is completed.

[0032] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
