[0014] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-7 This embodiment provides a foot massager with an independent elastic pressure adjustable module, including an air bubble foot tub body 1. The air bubble foot tub body 1 has a foot placement plate 11 inside. The air bubble foot tub body 1 and the foot placement plate 11 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The top of the foot placement plate 11 has multiple mounting holes, and a movable cylinder 3 is movably inserted into each mounting hole. A support cover 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the foot placement plate 11 at the movable cylinder 3. The support cover 2 is fixedly connected to the foot placement plate 11 by bolts. The movable cylinder 3 has a cavity inside, and a spring 4 is installed inside the cavity. One end of the spring 4 abuts against the top of the cavity inside the movable cylinder 3, and the other end abuts against the support cover 2. The air bubble foot tub massage function uses the module composed of the spring 4 and the movable cylinder 3 to provide adjustable elastic pressure, rather than rigid compression. It can adapt to different arch heights, pressure points, and hardness requirements, such as high arch height. This massage device targets areas with low arches and heel pain, simulating the physiological process of foot movement during walking to promote fascia extension. It also precisely targets and stimulates the sole of the foot. The cylindrical arrangement of cylinders allows for targeted coverage of key massage areas. Multiple independently movable cylinders 3 are positioned on the foot rest plate 11. Each cylinder 3 can be independently adjusted according to different parts of the user's foot and pressure needs. This design better adapts to the curves and pressure points of the foot, providing a more fitting and personalized massage experience. Springs 4 installed inside the movable cylinders 3 provide elastic pressure, allowing the massager to automatically adjust according to the pressure applied to the foot. This elastic adjustment mechanism ensures moderate massage intensity—neither too strong causing discomfort nor too weak and ineffective. Furthermore, because the movable cylinders 3 and springs 4 are modularly designed, they can be easily disassembled and replaced if any component is damaged or needs replacement, reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0016] In this embodiment, the arrangement of movable cylinders 3 can specifically cover key massage areas on the sole of the foot: Forefoot (metatarsal heads): relieve pressure on the forefoot and activate motor nerves; Arch of the foot: Supports the medial longitudinal arch and improves compensation for flat feet; Heel: Distributes pressure on the calcaneus and reduces the impact of plantar fasciitis; Reflex zones: Acupressure can be used to regulate the function of corresponding organs (e.g., Yongquan acupoint corresponds to the kidneys). This enhances proprioception in the foot, and the force feedback from the spring forces the plantar muscles to make subtle adjustments. For example, the lumbrical muscles and interosseous muscles are continuously activated, improving balance and gait control precision, and preventing ankle sprains.

[0017] In this embodiment, the height of the multiple movable cylinders 3 varies in a stepped manner from the toes to the heel, from high to low, then from low to high, and then from high to low again. The shape of the foot is not flat, but has natural curvature and undulations. The stepped height design of the multiple movable cylinders 3 can better fit the physiological curve of the foot from the toes to the heel, so that the massage points can be applied more accurately to various parts of the foot, improving the targeting and effectiveness of the massage. The movable cylinders 3 of different heights stimulate the corresponding parts of the foot to different degrees. This diversified stimulation can more comprehensively promote blood circulation in the foot and stimulate acupoints, thereby enhancing the overall massage effect and helping to improve physical function and relieve physical fatigue.

[0018] In this embodiment, an outer edge ring 301 is provided on the outer side of the bottom end of the movable cylinder 3. The outer edge ring 301 is placed at the bottom of the foot placement plate 11. The outer edge ring 301 can effectively prevent the movable cylinder 3 from coming out of the mounting hole of the foot placement plate 11 during the up and down movement, ensuring that the movable cylinder 3 always moves within a predetermined range, ensuring the integrity and stability of the foot massager structure, and enabling it to work continuously and normally. The outer edge ring 301 is integrally formed with the movable cylinder 3. This integrated structure increases the overall strength and stability of the movable cylinder 3. When pressure is applied to the foot, the movable cylinder 3 can better withstand the force, reduce the risk of structural damage caused by local force, and extend the service life of the movable cylinder 3 and the entire foot massager.

[0019] In this embodiment, a guide sleeve 5 is fitted at the bottom of the foot placement plate 11 and outside the outer edge ring 301. The guide sleeve 5 is fixedly connected to the foot placement plate 11, and the outer edge ring 301 is slidably disposed inside the guide sleeve 5. The guide sleeve 5 provides a precise sliding track for the outer edge ring 301, so that the outer edge ring 301 can only move vertically along the axis of the guide sleeve 5. This ensures that the movable cylinder 3 can move up and down vertically when subjected to foot pressure, avoiding tilting or offset of the movable cylinder 3. This ensures that the massage force can be accurately applied to the corresponding parts of the foot, improving the accuracy and effect of the massage. The constraint effect of the guide sleeve 5 makes the movement of the movable cylinder 3 more stable and smooth. During the repeated application and release of pressure on the foot, the movable cylinder 3 can stably extend and retract, reducing shaking and jamming during the movement, and providing users with a more comfortable and continuous massage experience.

[0020] In this embodiment, a Bian stone is embedded in the top of the movable cylinder 3. As the cylinder 3 moves up and down with foot pressure, the Bian stone can more precisely stimulate acupoints and reflex zones on the foot in a point-like manner. Compared to ordinary smooth surfaces, this point-like stimulation can penetrate deeper into the foot tissue, enhancing the stimulation intensity to local nerves and acupoints, promoting nerve conduction and blood circulation. When the Bian stone comes into contact with the foot and undergoes relative movement, it generates ultrasonic pulses with a frequency above 20kHz. These ultrasonic waves can penetrate deep into human tissue, promoting micro-cellular movement and stimulating… It stimulates cell regeneration, enhances phagocytic function, promotes blood circulation, accelerates metabolism, helps eliminate metabolic waste and toxins, and relieves foot fatigue and physical discomfort. Bian stone has far-infrared radiation properties, and emits far-infrared rays during contact with the feet. These rays have a wavelength similar to the far-infrared wavelength emitted by the human body, which easily causes resonance and produces a warming effect. The warmth can dilate blood vessels in the feet, promote blood circulation, reduce muscle spasms, enhance the warming and meridian-clearing effect of massage, and further relax foot muscles and relieve physical fatigue.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of this example, the Bian stone can be installed on the movable cylinder 3 in the following ways: like Figure 3 As shown, the mushroom-shaped Bian stone is inlaid on the movable cylinder 3; like Figure 4 As shown, the cylindrical Bian stone is assembled on the movable cylinder 3; like Figure 5 As shown, the circular Bian stone is inlaid on the movable cylinder 3; like Figure 6 As shown, a circular Bian stone is inlaid on the movable cylinder 3; like Figure 7 As shown, the spherical Bian stone is assembled on the movable cylinder 3.

[0022] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of the present technical solution are within the protection scope of the present invention.
