The user needs to adjust his sitting posture so that the massage structure can massage the part that the user needs to massage, which is very inconvenient.

[0006] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A massage chair internal transmission structure includes a seat back frame, a screw and a guide rod are respectively provided on both sides of the seat back frame, a movable plate is slidably provided on the seat back frame, one end of the movable plate is threadedly connected to the screw, and the other end is slidably connected to the guide rod, a mounting frame is fixed to the movable plate, a first spline shaft is rotatably provided on the mounting frame, a first drive assembly is provided on the seat back frame for driving the first spline shaft to rotate as the movable plate moves, two massage assemblies for massaging the human back are provided on the mounting frame, two second drive assemblies for respectively driving the two massage assemblies are provided on the first spline shaft, a third drive assembly for driving the two massage assemblies to reciprocate is provided on the movable plate, and a fourth drive assembly is provided on the first spline shaft for driving the third drive assembly as the first spline shaft rotates.

[0008] Working principle:

[0009] When an external power source (such as a motor) drives the screw to rotate, one end of the movable plate threadedly connected to the screw is displaced by the meshing action of the thread, and at the same time, the other end of the movable plate is slidably connected to the guide rod, and the guide rod provides linear constraints to ensure that the movable plate slides smoothly along the preset trajectory of the chair back frame. The movement of the movable plate triggers the operation of the first drive component, so that the first drive component converts the linear motion of the movable plate into the rotational motion of the first spline shaft. The rotational motion of the first spline shaft is transmitted to the two massage components respectively through the two second drive components thereon, and then the massage component can realize the massage operation on the human body. The rotation of the first spline shaft drives the fourth drive component, and the fourth drive component drives the third drive component. The third drive component can synchronously drive the two massage components to move laterally on the chair back frame when the massage component is working, thereby expanding the massage range of the massage component.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] First, a first driving assembly is provided, through which the linear displacement of the moving plate caused by the screw can be converted into the axial rotation of the first spline shaft.

[0012] Secondly, a second drive assembly is provided, through which the axial rotation generated by the first spline shaft can drive the massage assembly to work.

[0013] Third, a fourth drive assembly is provided, which can synchronously convert the axial rotation of the first spline shaft into the reciprocating driving force of the third drive assembly, so that the third drive assembly can drive the massage assembly to perform reciprocating linear motion in a direction parallel to the back of the human body.
