Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical rehabilitation equipment technology, and in particular to a spinal care massage device. Background Technology

[0002] The spine is the body's main support, located in the middle of the back, connecting to the skull at the top and reaching the tip of the coccyx at the bottom. Its upper part is longer and more mobile, acting like a support structure, suspending the chest and abdominal walls. Its lower part is shorter and more fixed, transmitting the body's weight and any shocks experienced to the lower limbs. Statistics show that 60% to 80% of neck, shoulder, lower back, and leg pain is related to the spine. At least 90 diseases affecting the brain, chest, abdomen, internal organs, and the entire body system are related to slight displacement caused by stress imbalances in the spinal bones and joints. Clearly, spinal health is crucial for people. However, modern people often have poor posture while working, frequently looking down at mobile phones and other electronic devices, leading to spinal health problems for many. Current spinal massage devices can only mechanically perform massage operations and cannot be adjusted according to the patient's actual condition, resulting in poor massage effects and limited versatility. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the technical problems of poor massage effect and low versatility of existing spinal massage devices, the present invention proposes a spinal care massage device comprising a massage board, wherein six straps are arranged in pairs on both sides of the massage board, and a sound sensor and an acceleration sensor are arranged between the straps.

[0004] The massage board includes a base plate, with elastic rubber plates at both ends of the base plate, a processor inside the base plate, and multiple grooves on the surface of the base plate, with massage units disposed within the grooves.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the strap includes a nylon reinforcing strap, an elastic band, and Velcro, and contact pressure sensors are uniformly arranged on the nylon reinforcing strap.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the massage unit includes a positioning module disposed in the center and motion modules located on both sides of the positioning module.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the positioning module includes a positioning base, a positioning telescopic rod, and a positioning base. The positioning telescopic rod is located between the positioning base and the positioning base. A support rod is provided in the center of the positioning base. The support rod is rotatably connected to a plate. Positioning pressure sensors are provided at both ends of the positioning base. The positioning pressure sensors are connected to the plate through springs. Pullers are provided at both ends of the plate at positions corresponding to the springs.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the motion module includes a motion base, a motion telescopic rod, and an airbag base. The motion telescopic rod is disposed between the motion base and the airbag base. A massage airbag is disposed at the top of the airbag base. Massage contacts and pulse heat therapy contacts are evenly disposed on the surface of the massage airbag. A micro air pump is disposed inside the airbag base.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the spinal care massage device operates as follows:

[0010] S1. The user wears the massage board via straps;

[0011] S2. The massage board performs initial positioning of each massage unit;

[0012] S3. The massage unit operates according to the set mode;

[0013] S4. The massage process is monitored by sound sensors, acceleration sensors, and contact pressure sensors, and massage parameters are adjusted in real time.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in S2, the initial positioning process of the massage unit is as follows: the massage unit moves to the leftmost end of the slide, the positioning telescopic rod extends, and the positioning pressure sensor determines whether the pulley is in contact with the user's back. When the pulley contacts the user's back, the massage unit moves from left to right to the rightmost end of the slide. The position of the spinous process is determined according to the data of the positioning pressure sensor, and the position of the massage unit is adjusted so that the motion module is located on both sides of the spinous process.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the specific method for determining whether the pulley is in contact with the user's back by using a positioning pressure sensor is as follows: if the positioning pressure sensor data at both ends of the positioning base is greater than a first threshold, then it is determined that the pulley is in contact with the user's back.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the specific method for determining the position of the spinal protrusion based on the data of the positioning pressure sensor is as follows: according to a set time interval, multiple positional state data of the massage unit during its movement from left to right are acquired. Each positional state data includes data from the positioning pressure sensors at both ends of the positioning base. The difference ratio R of the positioning pressure sensor data in each positional state data is calculated. The formula for calculating the difference ratio R is R = (P1 - P2) / P1, where P1 is the larger value in the positioning pressure sensor data and P2 is the smaller value in the positioning pressure sensor data. The position where the difference ratio R first exceeds the second threshold is taken as the left boundary of the spinal protrusion region, and the position where the difference ratio R last exceeds the second threshold is taken as the right boundary of the spinal protrusion region.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in S3, the working mode of the massage unit includes a percussion massage mode and an air pressure massage mode;

[0018] In the percussion massage mode, the massage airbag is inflated to a fixed air pressure, and the telescopic rod performs percussion massage according to the set frequency and movement length. The movement length controls the percussion force, and the frequency controls the percussion speed.

[0019] In air pressure massage mode, the telescopic rod extends, allowing the massage airbag to contact the user's back without being inflated. The micro air pump inflates and deflates according to the set maximum air pressure and air pressure circulation frequency to perform air pressure massage. The maximum air pressure controls the intensity of the massage, and the air pressure circulation frequency controls the speed of the massage.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The positioning module enables automatic positioning, providing better service to users. Furthermore, multiple sensors monitor the massage process in real time, allowing for timely adjustments to massage parameters and achieving better massage results. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the spinal care massage device proposed in this invention includes a massage board 1, with six straps 2 arranged in pairs on both sides of the massage board 1, and a sound sensor 3 and an acceleration sensor 4 arranged between the straps 2.

[0031] The strap 2 includes a nylon reinforcing strap 21, an elastic band 22, and Velcro 23. The nylon reinforcing strap 21 is trapezoidal, with the width on the side closest to the massage plate 1 being greater than the width on the other side, which strengthens the strap and extends its lifespan. The symmetrically arranged elastic bands 22 are secured together by the Velcro 23. Contact pressure sensors are evenly distributed on the nylon reinforcing strap 21, which can detect the contact pressure between each nylon reinforcing strap and the user during wear, and determine which areas of the user's back have reduced contact with the spinal care massage device based on the detected pressure.

[0032] The sound sensor 3 is used to collect ambient sounds during the massage process and transmits the ambient sound signal to the massage plate 1. The massage plate 1 determines whether the user's voice signal is present in the ambient sound. If so, the user's voice signal is extracted, and its content is read through voice recognition to execute the corresponding operation. The sound sensor 3 specifically uses a condenser microphone.

[0033] Accelerometer 4 is used to collect acceleration signals from the spinal care massage device during the massage process and transmits the acceleration signals to massage board 1. Massage board 1 determines whether the user is experiencing discomfort based on the acceleration signals. The determination method is that if the acceleration signal is greater than the third threshold, it means that the user's body is shaking violently and trying to avoid the massage operation. If the user is experiencing discomfort, massage board 1 stops the massage operation.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the massage board 1 includes a base plate 11, with elastic rubber plates 12 disposed at both the upper and lower ends of the base plate 11. The elastic rubber plates 12 allow the base plate 11 to maintain a suitable distance from the user. A processor is disposed inside the base plate 11, which controls the operation of the massage board 1. Multiple grooves 111 are disposed on the surface of the base plate 11, and massage units 13 are disposed within the grooves 111. The massage units 13 can move left and right along the grooves 111. Figure 4 As shown, the massage unit 13 includes a positioning module 131 located in the center, and motion modules 132 located on both sides of the positioning module 131. Figure 5As shown, the positioning module 131 includes a positioning base 1311, a positioning telescopic rod 1312, and a positioning base 1313. The positioning telescopic rod 1312 is located between the positioning base 1311 and the positioning base 1313. A support rod 1316 is provided in the center of the positioning base 1313, and the support rod 1316 is rotatably connected to a plate 1317. Positioning pressure sensors 1314 are provided at both ends of the positioning base 1313. The positioning pressure sensors 1314 are connected to the plate 1317 through springs 1315. Pulleys 1318 are provided at both ends of the plate 1317 at positions corresponding to the springs 1315. Figure 6 As shown, the motion module 132 includes a motion base 1321, a motion telescopic rod 1322, and an airbag base 1323. The motion telescopic rod 1322 is disposed between the motion base 1321 and the airbag base 1323. A massage airbag 1324 is provided at the top of the airbag base 1323. Massage contacts and pulse heat therapy contacts are evenly distributed on the surface of the massage airbag 1324. A miniature air pump is provided inside the airbag base 1323, which can inflate and deflate the massage airbag 1324.

[0035] The working process of the spinal care massage device is as follows:

[0036] S1. The user wears the massage board by strapping it on.

[0037] S2. The massage plate performs initial positioning of each massage unit. The initial positioning process of the massage unit is as follows: the massage unit moves to the leftmost end of the slide, the positioning telescopic rod extends, and the positioning pressure sensor determines whether the pulley is in contact with the user's back. When the pulley contacts the user's back, the massage unit moves from left to right to the rightmost end of the slide. Based on the data from the positioning pressure sensor, the position of the spinous process is determined, and the position of the massage unit is adjusted so that the motion module is located on both sides of the spinous process. The specific method for determining whether the pulley is in contact with the user's back using the positioning pressure sensor is as follows: if the data from the positioning pressure sensors at both ends of the positioning base are greater than a first threshold, it is determined that the pulley is in contact with the user's back. The specific method for determining the position of the spinal protuberance based on the data from the positioning pressure sensor is as follows: at a set time interval (e.g., 1 second), multiple positional state data are acquired during the movement of the massage unit from left to right. Each positional state data includes data from the positioning pressure sensors at both ends of the positioning base. The difference ratio R of the positioning pressure sensor data in each positional state data is calculated. The formula for calculating the difference ratio R is R = (P1 - P2) / P1, where P1 is the larger value in the positioning pressure sensor data and P2 is the smaller value in the positioning pressure sensor data. The position where the difference ratio R first exceeds the second threshold is taken as the left boundary of the spinal protuberance region, and the position where the difference ratio R last exceeds the second threshold is taken as the right boundary of the spinal protuberance region.

[0038] S3. The massage unit operates according to the set modes. The massage unit's operating modes include a percussion massage mode and a pneumatic massage mode. In percussion massage mode, the massage airbags are inflated to a fixed pressure, and the telescopic rod performs percussion massage according to the set frequency and movement length. The movement length controls the percussion force, and the frequency controls the percussion speed. In pneumatic massage mode, the telescopic rod extends, allowing the massage airbags to contact the user's back without inflation. The micro-air pump inflates and deflates according to the set maximum air pressure and air pressure circulation frequency to perform pneumatic massage. The maximum air pressure controls the massage force, and the air pressure circulation frequency controls the massage speed.

[0039] S4. The massage process is monitored through sound sensors, accelerometers, and contact pressure sensors, and massage parameters are adjusted in real time. Data from the sound sensor captures the user's voice commands, and massage parameters are adjusted accordingly. Data from the accelerometer determines if the user is experiencing discomfort; if so, the massage unit stops working. Data from the contact pressure sensor identifies areas of the back where contact with the spinal care massage device has weakened, causing the corresponding massage unit to increase its massage intensity.

[0040] The above description discloses only preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that any equivalent variations made to the present invention by those skilled in the art without departing from its design structure and principles are considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
