[0034] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings.

[0035] like Figure 7As shown, a car seat comprises a backrest 7, and a vehicle-mounted foot massage device is installed on the rear side of the backrest 7. When not in use, the vehicle-mounted foot massage device is folded at the rear side of the backrest 7. When foot massage is required, the vehicle-mounted foot massage device can be flipped and unfolded to a state where the rear side of the backrest 7 is tilted downward, so that the user can use the foot massage function. In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted foot massage device can be flipped manually or electrically.

[0036] Further, by Figure 7 It can be seen that the back side of the backrest 7 has a sunken area 71 adapted to the external structure of the vehicle-mounted foot massage device. When the vehicle-mounted foot massage device is folded to the back side of the backrest 7, it can form a whole with the back side of the backrest 7 and has good aesthetics.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 A vehicle-mounted foot massage device includes a foot support base 1, which is rotatably mounted to the rear side of a backrest 7. The foot support base 1 has a left foot support area and a right foot support area distributed left and right, and massage components are rotatably mounted in the left foot support area and the right foot support area. Figure 2 As shown, the massage component includes a rotating shaft 2, a bracket 5 extending radially outward along the rotating shaft 2, and a roller 4 rotatably mounted at the far end of the bracket 5, wherein the rotating shaft 2 is extended and arranged along the width direction of the foot support base 1, and massage protrusions 41 are distributed on the surface of the roller 4. A driving mechanism 3 is provided in the foot support base 1, and the driving mechanism 3 can drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate. The driving mechanism 3 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, and can drive the roller 4 to intermittently protrude upward in a rotating manner in the corresponding sole support area. In this embodiment, the orientation of the vehicle-mounted foot massage device refers to the orientation of the car seat, such as the width direction of the foot support base 1 corresponds to the width direction of the car seat, and the length direction of the foot support base 1 corresponds to the length direction of the car seat.

[0038] Based on this structural design, when the driving mechanism 3 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, the roller 4 can make a circular motion around the axis of the rotating shaft 2, so that the roller 4 in the left sole support area and the right sole support area can intermittently bulge upward, and the massage protrusions 41 on the surface of the roller 4 can also effectively stimulate the acupuncture points on the sole of the foot, relieve the tension of the foot muscles, and have the advantage of good massage effect.

[0039] Furthermore, multiple rollers 4 are distributed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 2 in the circumferential direction. The purpose is that within the range of 360° rotation of the rotating shaft 2, multiple groups of rollers 4 can massage the sole of the foot multiple times, and the massage protrusions 41 on the surface of each roller 4 can also stimulate the various acupuncture points of the sole of the foot more deeply, giving users a more comfortable and deeper massage experience.

[0040] Re-attend Figure 2 and 3In this embodiment, two rollers 4 are distributed outside the rotating shaft 2 in the circumferential direction, the middle of the bracket 5 is fixed to the rotating shaft 2, both ends of the bracket 5 extend radially outward along the rotating shaft 2, and the two rollers 41 are rotatably mounted at the end positions of the two ends of the bracket 5. By setting two symmetrical rollers 4, Figure 4 and Figure 7 When the massage device is not in use, the bracket 5 is parallel to the foot support base 1, and the two rollers 4 are both located inside the massage device. At this time, the upper surface of the massage device remains flat, which is convenient for folding. In addition, when the massage function is not in use, the foot support base 1 is turned over and unfolded to a downward tilted state, which can facilitate the user to place his feet and play the role of a footrest.

[0041] Specific, combined Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, an upper cover 13 is provided on the foot support base 1, and the upper cover 13 is used to cover the internal parts of the massage device, and opening structures 131 are provided on the upper cover 13 at positions corresponding to the massage components. When not in use, each roller 4 is located at the lower side of the upper cover 13, and when in use, each roller 4 can intermittently protrude upward from the opening structure 131, thereby rolling and massaging the sole of the user's foot.

[0042] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 A connecting piece 12 extending obliquely upward is provided at the front end of the foot support base 1 , and the vehicle-mounted foot massage device is rotatably installed to the rear side of the backrest 7 through the connecting piece 12 .

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, to ensure the reliability of the installation connection, a set of massage components has two brackets 5, both of which are sheet structures. Both brackets 5 are fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 2, and both ends of the drum 4 are rotatably supported between the two sets of brackets 5 through the support shaft 6.

[0044] For example Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, two sets of massage components are respectively provided in the left sole support area and the right sole support area, and the four sets of massage components are distributed in a rectangular shape on the foot support base 1. Among them, the two sets of massage components located in the same row share a rotating shaft 2. That is, there are two groups of rotating shafts 2, and both groups of rotating shafts 2 are arranged along the width direction of the foot support base 1. The four sets of massage components are respectively connected to the four end positions of the two groups of rotating shafts 2, that is, the two massage components at the left ends of the two groups of rotating shafts 2 are used to massage the user's left leg foot, and the two massage components at the right ends of the two groups of rotating shafts 2 are used to massage the user's right leg foot, so that the front and back parts of the user's sole can be relaxed.

[0045] Depend on Figure 1 and Figure 4It can be seen that in this embodiment, among the two sets of massage components in the left sole support area, the massage component at the front end rotates forward, and the massage component at the rear end rotates backward. Similarly, among the two sets of massage components in the right sole support area, the massage component at the front end rotates forward, and the massage component at the rear end rotates backward. Such a rotation direction can prevent the front and rear massage components from clamping the sole skin during movement, and the front roller 4 can stretch the sole skin forward, and the rear roller 4 can stretch the sole skin backward, thereby playing a role in stretching and relaxing the foot.

[0046] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the driving mechanism 3 includes a motor 31 arranged in the middle of the foot support base 1, and the output shaft a of the motor 31 is located between the two groups of rotating shafts 2 and is parallel to the two groups of rotating shafts 2. The output shaft a and the two groups of rotating shafts 2 are connected by power through a transmission assembly. The motor 31 can drive the two groups of rotating shafts 2 to rotate synchronously through the transmission assembly.

[0047] For further information, see Figure 2 and 5 The transmission assembly includes a drive shaft 32 rotatably arranged on the foot support base 1, the drive shaft 32 extends along the length direction of the foot support base 1, and the drive shaft 32 is arranged vertically with the rotating shaft 2 in space. The transmission assembly also includes a first transmission component 33 sleeved on the output shaft a, and a second transmission component 34 fixedly sleeved on the middle part of the drive shaft 32, and the first transmission component 33 is meshed with the second transmission component 34. Figure 6 As shown, the two ends of the driving shaft 32 corresponding to the positions of the two groups of rotating shafts 2 are both fixedly sleeved with third transmission components 35, and the two groups of rotating shafts 2 are both fixedly sleeved with fourth transmission components 36, which are meshed with the third transmission components 35 corresponding to the same side. The motor 31 drives the first transmission component 33 on the output shaft a to rotate, which can drive the second transmission component 34 to rotate, and the second transmission component 34 rotates to drive the driving shaft 32 to rotate, and the third transmission components 35 at both ends of the driving shaft 32 rotate, which can drive the corresponding fourth transmission components 36 to rotate, thereby driving the two groups of rotating shafts 2 to rotate synchronously.

[0048] In this embodiment, the drive shaft 32 is located below the two sets of rotating shafts 2. In the transmission assembly, the two mutually meshing transmission components are helical gears or worm gears. Compared with other gear transmission modes, such as coaxial gear transmission and belt gear transmission, this design can reduce the space occupied by the transmission components, making the overall structure of the device more compact, and at the same time, it also has the advantages of high transmission efficiency, good stability and long service life.

[0049] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, a first mounting seat 11 extending upward is fixedly provided on the foot support base 1, and a first connecting through hole 1a is provided on the first mounting seat 11. The rotating shaft 2 is rotatably supported on the first connecting through hole 1a through a first bearing b. In order to increase the stability of the support of the rotating shaft 2, in this embodiment, first mounting seats 11 are provided on the foot support base 1 at positions corresponding to both ends of the rotating shaft 2, and both ends of the rotating shaft 2 are rotatably supported on the first mounting seats 11 on both sides. The mounting structures of the two sets of rotating shafts 2 are the same and will not be repeated here.

[0050] For further reference, Figure 2 Two groups of second mounting seats 14 are spaced apart on the foot support base 1 at positions corresponding to the middle of the rotating shaft 2 , and the rotating shaft 2 is rotationally supported on the two groups of second mounting seats 14 , further improving the stability of the rotating support of the rotating shaft 2 .

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can make various similar expressions without violating the purpose and claims of the present invention, and such changes all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
