Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of massage devices, and particularly to an acupoint massage device. Background Art

[0002] Due to factors such as sitting for long hours at work and lack of exercise, the lumbar spine bears great pressure. Traditional massage methods rely on professional masseurs, which are limited by time and location and are relatively expensive. A convenient, efficient and accurately acupoint massage device for the lumbar spine is of great significance.

[0003] In the existing lumbar acupoint massagers, due to the differences in waist circumferences of people with different weights, the massage heads cannot be adjusted according to the waist circumference of the wearer, making it difficult to accurately locate the key acupoints near the lumbar spine. The areas and muscle distributions of the lumbar spine parts of people with different weights are also different; the fixed massage heads may not be able to fully cover the areas around the lumbar spine that need to be massaged, resulting in some muscles and acupoints not being fully stimulated, greatly reducing the overall massage effect. Therefore, we propose an acupoint massage device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides the following technical solution: An acupoint massage device, including a massage instrument protective shell and massage heads arranged at the lower wall of the massage instrument protective shell. Both ends of the massage instrument protective shell are fixedly provided with fixing belts, and adjusting buckles are arranged on the side walls of the fixing belts. A fixing box is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the massage instrument protective shell. A sliding block is movably arranged in the fixing box. An elastic hose is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the sliding block, and the other end of the elastic hose is fixedly connected to the adjusting buckle. A heating box is fixedly arranged in the massage instrument protective shell. A liquid outlet mechanism is arranged on the heating box. Teeth are evenly fixedly arranged on the side wall of the liquid outlet mechanism. A connecting mechanism is arranged between the sliding block and the teeth for connection. A communicating disk is also movably arranged in the massage instrument protective shell. The communicating disk is arranged below the heating box. A communicating pipe is communicated between the massage head and the communicating disk. A connecting pipe is communicated between the communicating disk and the liquid outlet mechanism. The connecting mechanism and the communicating disk are connected by a driving component;

[0005] The connecting mechanism includes an elastic connecting rod rotatably arranged on the side wall of the sliding block. The other end of the elastic connecting rod is fixedly provided with a rotating shaft. The other side of the rotating shaft is fixedly provided with a first connecting rod. A rack is rotatably arranged at the end of the first connecting rod. The rack meshes with the teeth. A second connecting rod is fixedly arranged on the lower wall of the first connecting rod.

[0006] Preferably: Both sides of the inner wall of the fixing box are provided with chutes, and the sliding block slides on the inner wall of the fixing box through the chutes.

[0007] Preferably, three friction strips are fixedly arranged on the side walls of both of the fixing belts, and the distances between the friction strips on the side wall of the same fixing belt are equal.

[0008] Preferably, a counterweight block is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the elastic connecting rod, and the counterweight block is made of alloy.

[0009] Preferably, the driving assembly includes a connecting block fixedly arranged on the side wall of the communicating disk. A push rod is rotatably arranged on the upper wall of the connecting block. The second connecting rod and the push rod are rotatably connected through a rotating shaft, and the second connecting rod is arranged in a V shape.

[0010] Preferably, the liquid outlet mechanism includes a connecting barrel fixedly arranged on the upper wall of the heating box. A plurality of liquid outlet plates and water baffle plates are alternately and fixedly arranged at the upper end opening of the connecting barrel. Three second liquid outlet holes are penetrated through the side wall of the liquid outlet plate. A liquid storage cavity is rotatably arranged at the top of the connecting barrel. A plurality of groups of first liquid outlet holes are opened at the bottom of the liquid storage cavity. The first liquid outlet holes correspond to the second liquid outlet holes, and the gear teeth are arranged on the outer wall of the liquid storage cavity.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting block is fixedly arranged on the upper wall of the heating box, and a spring is fixedly arranged between the rack and the limiting block.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting groove is opened on the bottom of the massager protective shell on the side close to the massage head, and the communicating pipe passes through the limiting groove and is connected to the massage head.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. For this acupoint massage device, when the wearer has a wider waist circumference, move the adjustment buckle. When the moving distance of the adjustment buckle is farther from the initial position, the tightness of the fixing belt becomes looser, the pulling force received by the sliding block is greater, and after the elastic connecting rod moves accordingly, the moving distance of the second connecting rod is farther. When the second connecting rod moves, the push rod pushes the communicating disk forward. When the fixing belt is tightened more tightly, that is, when the wearer's waist circumference is smaller during use, the moving distance of the communicating disk pushing the massage head is smaller. The communicating disk can drive the massage head to move to acupoints that are more suitable for the user's lumbar vertebra. When the fixing belt is tightened less tightly, the moving distance of the communicating disk pushing the massage head is greater. The forward moving distance of the communicating disk is adapted to the tightness of the fixing belt, avoiding the low massage efficiency caused by the massage head being unable to move to a suitable position according to the waist circumference of the user during massage and being unable to perform precise massage on acupoints, resulting in low massage efficiency.

[0015] 2. After the gear drives the liquid storage cavity to rotate and the four groups of first liquid outlet holes and second liquid outlet holes rotate to the through state, the activating oil stored in the liquid storage cavity flows into the heating box for heating. The heating box is communicated with the massage head through a connecting pipe, so that a small amount of activating oil leaks out at the roller while the massage head is running. The heated activating oil cooperates with the massage head, effectively promoting blood circulation, relieving muscle tension, exerting the effects of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and relaxing tendons and activating collaterals. Combining with the effects of more effectively relieving muscle pain and improving local blood circulation, it can more significantly improve local blood supply, which helps to accelerate the excretion of metabolic products, relieve muscle fatigue and soreness, and has a better effect on relieving various discomfort symptoms caused by poor blood circulation.

[0016] 3. For this acupoint massage device, since the waist circumferences of the users of the massager are different, when users with a large difference in body fat wear a massager with the same waist circumference, it is impossible to ensure that the massage head is in the appropriate position when the massager massages the acupoints. When adjusting the adjustment buckle to the appropriate position before using this device, the fixing belt is tightened around the waist. There are three friction strips on the inner side of the fixing belt close to the user's waist, effectively increasing the friction force and preventing the deviation of the massaged acupoints caused by the insecure fixation of the fixing belt during the operation of the massage head, resulting in a reduction in massage efficiency.

Detailed implementation manner

[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-8 , an acupoint massage device, including a massage instrument protective case 1 and a massage head 2 provided at the lower wall of the massage instrument protective case 1. Fixing straps 3 are fixedly provided at both ends of the massage instrument protective case 1. An adjusting buckle 4 is provided on the side wall of the fixing strap 3. A fixing box 7 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the massage instrument protective case 1. A sliding block 9 is movably provided in the fixing box 7. An elastic hose 8 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the sliding block 9. The other end of the elastic hose 8 is fixedly connected to the adjusting buckle 4. A heating box 14 is fixedly provided in the massage instrument protective case 1. A liquid outlet mechanism is provided on the heating box 14. Gear teeth 15 are evenly fixedly provided on the side wall of the liquid outlet mechanism. A connecting mechanism is provided between the sliding block 9 and the gear teeth 15 for connection. A communicating disk 20 is also movably provided in the massage instrument protective case 1. The communicating disk 20 is arranged below the heating box 14. A communicating pipe 31 is communicated between the massage head 2 and the communicating disk 20. A connecting pipe 22 is communicated between the communicating disk 20 and the liquid outlet mechanism. A driving component is provided between the connecting mechanism and the communicating disk 20 for connection;

[0028] The connecting mechanism includes an elastic connecting rod 16 rotatably provided on the side wall of the sliding block 9. The other end of the elastic connecting rod 16 is fixedly provided with a rotating shaft 11. The other side of the rotating shaft 11 is fixedly provided with a first connecting rod 12. A rack 17 is rotatably provided at the end of the first connecting rod 12. The rack 17 meshes with the gear teeth 15. A second connecting rod 13 is fixedly provided on the lower wall of the first connecting rod 12.

[0029] It should be noted that since the waist circumferences of the users of the massager are different, when users with a large difference in body fat wear a massager with the same waist circumference, it cannot be guaranteed that when the massager massages the acupoints, the massage head 2 is in the appropriate position. When adjusting the adjustment buckle 4 to the appropriate position before using the device, the fixing belt 3 is fastened to the waist. Three friction strips 5 are provided on the inner side of the fixing belt 3 close to the user's waist, effectively increasing the friction force and preventing the deviation of the massaged acupoints caused by the insecure fixation of the fixing belt 3 during the operation of the massage head 2, resulting in a reduction in massage efficiency.

[0030] In an alternative embodiment: sliding grooves are formed on both sides of the inner wall of the fixed box 7, and the sliding block 9 slides on the inner wall of the fixed box 7 through the sliding grooves.

[0031] It should be noted that the sliding grooves effectively limit the sliding block 9, preventing the sliding block 9 from shifting in position and being unable to massage the acupoints, thus avoiding low massage efficiency.

[0032] In an alternative embodiment: three friction strips 5 are fixedly provided on the side walls of both fixing belts 3, and the distances between the friction strips 5 on the side wall of the same fixing belt 3 are equal.

[0033] It should be noted that the friction strips 5 are evenly fixed on the side wall of the fixing belt 3, effectively increasing the friction force and preventing the deviation of the massaged acupoints caused by the insecure fixation of the fixing belt 3 during the operation of the massage head 2, resulting in a reduction in massage efficiency.

[0034] In an alternative embodiment: a counterweight block 10 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the elastic connecting rod 16, and the counterweight block 10 is made of alloy.

[0035] It should be noted that since the counterweight block 10 is made of alloy, when the sliding block 9 is subjected to a pulling force, the setting of the counterweight block 10 causes the sliding block 9 to slow down its forward movement rate.

[0036] In an alternative embodiment: the driving assembly includes a connecting block 30 fixedly provided on the side wall of the communicating disk 20. A push rod 21 is rotatably provided on the upper wall of the connecting block 30. The second connecting rod 13 and the push rod 21 are rotatably connected through a rotating shaft 29, and the second connecting rod 13 is arranged in a V shape.

[0037] It should be noted that when the second connecting rod 13 moves, since the connecting disk 20 is rotationally connected to the second connecting rod 13 through the rotating shaft 29, the pushing rod 21 pushes the connecting disk 20 forward. When the fixing belt 3 is tightened more tightly, that is, the waist circumference of the wearer during use is smaller, the distance that the connecting disk 20 pushes the massage head 2 to move is smaller. The connecting disk 20 can drive the massage head 2 to move to acupoints that are more compatible with the user's lumbar spine. When the fixing belt 3 is loosened more, the distance that the connecting disk 20 pushes the massage head 2 to move is larger. The forward movement distance of the connecting disk 20 is adapted to the tightness of the fixing belt 3, avoiding the low massage efficiency caused by the massage head 2 being unable to move to a suitable position according to the waist circumference of the user during massage and not being able to accurately massage the acupoints, which reduces the accuracy of the device.

[0038] In an optional embodiment: The liquid outlet mechanism includes a connecting barrel 26 fixedly arranged on the upper wall of the heating box 14. At the upper end opening of the connecting barrel 26, a plurality of liquid outlet plates 24 and water blocking plates 27 are alternately fixed. Three second liquid outlet holes 25 are penetrated through the side wall of the liquid outlet plate 24. A liquid storage cavity 28 is rotatably arranged on the top of the connecting barrel 26. A plurality of groups of first liquid outlet holes 23 are opened at the bottom of the liquid storage cavity 28. The first liquid outlet holes 23 correspond to the second liquid outlet holes 25. The gear teeth 15 are arranged on the outer wall of the liquid storage cavity 28.

[0039] It should be noted that when the gear teeth 15 drive the liquid storage cavity 28 to rotate, after the four groups of first liquid outlet holes 23 and the second liquid outlet holes 25 rotate to the through state, the activating oil stored in the liquid storage cavity 28 flows into the heating box 14 for heating.

[0040] In an optional embodiment: A limiting block 18 is fixedly arranged on the upper wall of the heating box 14. A spring 19 is fixedly arranged between the rack 17 and the limiting block 18.

[0041] It should be noted that in order to prevent the rack 17 from being unable to mesh with the gear teeth 15 when moving, a spring 19 is arranged at the top of the rack 17, and the limiting block 18 on the outer wall of the spring 19 effectively limits it, ensuring that the rack 17 is in the meshing state with the gear teeth 15 when moving.

[0042] In an optional embodiment: A limiting groove 6 is opened on the bottom of the massage instrument protective shell 1 on the side close to the massage head 2. The connecting pipe 31 passes through the limiting groove 6 and is connected to the massage head 2.

[0043] It should be noted that when the connecting disk 20 moves, it drives the massage head 2 to move through the connecting pipe 31, and the connection between the connecting pipe 31 and the massage head 2 enables the activating oil to enter the massage head 2 and be smeared on the user's waist during movement, improving the massage efficiency.

[0044] Working principle: Since the waist circumferences of the users of the massager are different, when users with a large difference in body fat wear a massager with the same waist circumference, it cannot be ensured that the massage head 2 is in a proper position when massaging the acupoints. When adjusting the adjustment buckle 4 to a proper position before using the device, the fixing belt 3 is fastened to the waist. There are three friction strips 5 on the inner side of the fixing belt 3 close to the user's waist, which effectively increases the friction force and prevents the deviation of the massaged acupoints caused by the insecure fixation of the fixing belt 3 during the operation of the massage head 2, resulting in a reduction in massage efficiency;

[0045] Since the elastic hose 8 is fixed to the inner wall of the adjustment buckle 4, and the other end of the elastic hose 8 is fixed to the sliding block 9. When the elastic hose 8 is stretched by a tensile force, the sliding block 9 slides in the fixed box 7. Since the counterweight 10 is made of alloy, when the sliding block 9 is subjected to a tensile force, the setting of the counterweight 10 causes the sliding block 9 to slow down the moving speed forward. A rotating shaft 11 is arranged on one side when the sliding block 9 moves, and a first connecting rod 12 is arranged on the other side of the rotating shaft 11. The first connecting rod 12 moves accordingly. Since a rack 17 is fixed to the end of the first connecting rod 12, the rack 17 drives the gear 15 to rotate after moving. In order to prevent the rack 17 from being unable to mesh with the gear 15 when moving, a spring 19 is arranged at the top of the rack 17, and the limiting block 18 on the outer wall of the spring 19 effectively limits it, ensuring that the rack 17 is in a meshing state with the gear 15 when moving;

[0046] When the gear 15 drives the liquid storage cavity 28 to rotate, the four groups of first liquid outlet holes 23 and the second liquid outlet holes 25 rotate to a through state, and the medicated oil stored in the liquid storage cavity 28 flows into the heating box 14 for heating. The heating box 14 is communicated with the massage head 2 through a connecting pipe 31, so that a small amount of medicated oil leaks out at the roller while the massage head 2 is operating. The heated medicated oil cooperates with the massage head 2, effectively promoting blood circulation, relieving muscle tension, and exerting the effects of promoting blood circulation to remove stasis and relaxing tendons and activating collaterals. Combining with the effects of more effectively relieving muscle pain and improving local blood circulation, it can more significantly improve local blood supply, which helps to accelerate the excretion of metabolic products, relieve muscle fatigue and soreness, and has a better effect on relieving various discomfort symptoms caused by poor blood circulation;

[0047] When the wearer has a wider waist circumference, move the adjustment buckle 4. The farther the adjustment buckle 4 moves from the initial position, the looser the tightness of the fixing belt 3, and the greater the pulling force on the sliding block 9. After the elastic connecting rod 16 moves accordingly, the farther the second connecting rod 13 moves. When the second connecting rod 13 moves, since the communication disk 20 is rotationally connected to the second connecting rod 13 through the rotating shaft 29, the push rod 21 pushes the communication disk 20 to move forward. When the fixing belt 3 is tightened more tightly, that is, the wearer's waist circumference is smaller during use, the distance that the communication disk 20 pushes the massage head 2 to move is smaller. The communication disk 20 can drive the massage head 2 to move to the acupoints that are more suitable for the user's lumbar spine. When the fixing belt 3 is loosened more, the distance that the communication disk 20 pushes the massage head 2 to move is greater. The forward movement distance of the communication disk 20 is adapted to the tightness of the fixing belt 3, avoiding the low massage efficiency caused by the massage head 2 being unable to move to the appropriate position according to the waist circumference of the user during massage and the inaccurate massage of acupoints, which reduces the accuracy of the device.

[0048] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
