Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of massage chair technology, specifically to a portable multifunctional massage chair and massage method. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing work pressure and rising health demands among modern people, massage chairs, as a convenient physiotherapy device, have become widely used in homes, offices, and leisure areas. They have become an important tool for relieving muscle soreness and releasing mental and physical stress. Existing massage chairs have many practical advantages. Their core strength lies in their ability to simulate manual massage techniques such as kneading and rubbing through built-in massage rollers and airbags, providing precise massage to key fatigue areas such as the back, waist, and shoulders. This effectively promotes blood circulation, relieves muscle stiffness, and helps users quickly recover their physical condition. In addition, some massage chairs also integrate auxiliary functions such as heating and angle adjustment, further enhancing user comfort and adapting to the sitting habits of different people. They are also easy to operate, have a relatively moderate footprint, and can meet the basic physiotherapy needs of most users, providing great convenience for people's daily health management.

[0003] While existing massage chairs can meet the massage needs of the upper body, they still have significant shortcomings in terms of functional coverage. The most prominent problem is that most massage chairs lack foot massage functions, failing to achieve a comprehensive full-body therapeutic effect. As the core weight-bearing part of the body, the feet are prone to soreness and fatigue after prolonged walking and standing. Furthermore, the feet have numerous acupoints, and effective foot massage can further promote blood circulation and relieve overall fatigue. However, most massage chairs on the market currently focus only on the design of upper-body massage structures, lacking dedicated foot massage components or supporting foot placement, support, and auxiliary therapeutic structures. This results in users not receiving corresponding foot massage relief when using the massage chair, having to rely on other foot massage devices, which not only increases user costs but also reduces the continuity of the massage experience. In addition, the few massage chairs that do have foot massage functions have rudimentary foot massage structures that cannot coordinate with upper-body massage, failing to meet users' high-quality demands for comprehensive full-body massage.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a portable, multifunctional massage chair and massage method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a portable, multifunctional massage chair and massage method, solving the problem that existing massagers lack foot massage.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a movable multifunctional massage chair and massage method, comprising a massage chair body, characterized in that: the bottom of the massage chair body is provided with a base that enables the entire machine to be moved, one end of the base is integrated with an integrated foot therapy massage component, the massage component includes a cavity body fixedly installed in the middle of one end of the top of the base, the cavity body is provided with a liquid storage tank for storing therapy warm water, and a support component that can adaptively adjust the height is vertically slidably assembled in the liquid storage tank;

[0007] The support assembly includes a support plate with a rectangular hole in the center of its top. A spherical groove conforming to the curvature of the heel is symmetrically formed at one end of the rectangular hole. The bottom of the two spherical grooves has a spherical limiting structure and two vertically penetrating holes at equal intervals. A frosted textured grinding plate adapted for the forefoot is fixed to the other end of the rectangular hole. Second vertical holes of the same size as the first vertical holes are formed at equal intervals on the grinding plate. A crossbar is symmetrically fixed in the middle of the support plate, and a massage stick for rolling and kneading the sole of the foot is rotatably installed between the two crossbars. A water distribution plate is fixed at the bottom of the support plate corresponding to the rectangular hole. A liquid storage chamber is sealed inside the water distribution plate. Multiple nozzles communicating with the liquid storage chamber are evenly distributed below the first and second vertical holes on the top of the water distribution plate. A miniature pump communicating with the liquid storage chamber and providing power for high-pressure water spraying is fixedly mounted on one side of the support plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer dimensions of the support plate match the inner dimensions of the liquid storage tank, allowing for stable vertical sliding without deviation or wobbling. A rectangular groove is symmetrically provided on one side of the support plate, and a hot air drying assembly is symmetrically installed at the bottom of the liquid storage tank. The drying assembly includes air ducts symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the liquid storage tank. The top of the air duct is movably inserted through the rectangular groove, without interfering with the lifting and lowering movement of the support plate. An air channel is provided inside the air duct, and multiple air outlets are arranged at an angle at the top of the air duct to expand the hot air coverage area and achieve all-round drying of the feet.

[0009] Furthermore, a rectangular cavity communicating with the inner cavity of the two air ducts is opened on one side of the liquid storage tank. A rectangular hole is opened on the inner side wall of the rectangular cavity, and a protective baffle with two ends is fixedly installed in the rectangular hole.

[0010] Furthermore, a heat-conducting plate is installed inside the rectangular hole and on the inner side of the baffle. A heat pipe is fixedly installed inside the rectangular cavity near the heat-conducting plate. The heat pipe and the heat-conducting plate work together to achieve a dual heating function of constant temperature heating of the water in the storage tank and temperature rise of the airflow in the air duct.

[0011] Furthermore, a limiting hole is provided at one end of the support plate, and a vertical rod with both ends fixed to the cavity body is passed through the limiting hole to form a sliding limiting guide structure; a threaded hole is provided at the other end of the support plate, and a threaded rod is threadedly fitted into the threaded hole. A horizontal plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the threaded rod. Both ends of the horizontal plate are fixed to the cavity body, and a drive motor is fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal plate. The drive motor drives the support plate to rise and fall smoothly through the threaded rod.

[0012] Furthermore, a support block is fixed to one end of the base, and a water heater is fixedly installed on the top of the support block. The output end of the water heater is connected to a water outlet pipe, and a second control valve is installed at the end of the water outlet pipe. The second control valve is connected to the inner cavity of the liquid storage tank through a pipe, and can control the temperature and deliver therapeutic hot water in a quantitative manner.

[0013] Furthermore, a fan is fixedly installed on the top of the massage component and below the water heater. The output end of the fan is connected to a connecting pipe, and the end of the connecting pipe is connected to the rectangular cavity and the inner cavity of the air duct to provide airflow power for the hot air drying function.

[0014] Furthermore, a sloping groove is provided on the top of the cavity body near the massage chair body to facilitate the placement of the feet, and a sealing protective cover is fitted on the outer side of the cavity body corresponding to the position of the drive motor.

[0015] Furthermore, the top of the base is symmetrically provided with vertical grooves, and the side wall of the massage component is provided with vertical grooves corresponding to the vertical grooves. The vertical grooves and vertical grooves cooperate to realize the hidden storage arrangement of the water outlet pipe and the connecting pipe. The top of the base is provided with a horizontal groove on the side near the main body of the cavity. The first control valve is installed inside the horizontal groove. The first control valve is connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the liquid storage tank for controlled discharge of physiotherapy wastewater. The top of the massage chair body of the base is provided with a horizontal groove on the side near the main body of the cavity. One end of the horizontal groove is provided with a first control valve connected to the lower part of the inner cavity of the main body of the cavity.

[0016] Furthermore, a horizontal groove is provided on the side of the top massage chair body of the base near the cavity body, and a first control valve is provided at one end of the horizontal groove, which communicates with the lower part of the cavity body.

[0017] A massage method using a portable, multi-functional massage chair:

[0018] S1: Move the massage chair to the designated usage position via the casters at the bottom of the base. The user sits or lies on the main body of the massage chair, removes shoes and socks, and places their feet on the support plate. Start the drive motor, which drives the threaded rod to rotate. Under the limiting and guiding action of the vertical rod and the limiting hole, the drive support plate smoothly descends to the preset position at the bottom of the liquid storage tank. The user's feet are placed in sections to fit the massage plate. The heel is inserted into the ball groove to achieve a limited fit, and the forefoot is in contact with the grinding plate, completing the precise alignment of the feet and preparing the structure for subsequent massage, cleaning, and soaking operations.

[0019] S2: The water heater is activated to heat the therapeutic water. The second control valve is opened, and the heated warm water is precisely injected into the storage tank through the outlet pipe, covering the user's feet. Simultaneously, the heat pipe is activated, and the water in the storage tank is continuously heated at a constant temperature through the heat conduction plate to maintain a suitable therapeutic water temperature. During the therapy, the user can move their feet slightly to remove dead skin through the friction of the abrasive texture of the grinding plate. At the same time, the micro pump is activated to pressurize and deliver the water to the storage chamber of the water distribution plate. The water is then sprayed out through the nozzle through the first and second vertical holes, providing impact massage to the acupoints and skin of the feet, while simultaneously rinsing and cleaning the surface of the support plate to remove residual impurities. Combined with the rolling and kneading of the massage stick, multiple synergistic therapeutic effects of mechanical massage, water flow massage, abrasive cleaning, and warm water soaking are achieved.

[0020] S3: After the foot treatment is completed, turn off the water heater and the micro pump, open the first control valve to completely drain the treatment wastewater in the storage tank, keeping the inner cavity clean. After the wastewater is drained, start the fan. The airflow generated by the fan is delivered to the rectangular cavity through the connecting pipe. The airflow is heated by the heat-conducting plate to form constant-temperature hot air, which is then delivered to the air duct through the air channel and finally blown out evenly from the inclined air outlet. The hot air fully covers the user's feet, quickly drying the skin and preventing cold and dampness. At the same time, the hot air fills the inner cavity of the storage tank, drying the water stains inside the equipment and inhibiting the growth of mold and bacteria. This completes the dual drying and maintenance of the user's feet and the inner cavity of the equipment. Finally, control the drive motor to drive the support plate to reset, ending the treatment process.

[0021] Beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. By setting a massage component at one end of the base, in conjunction with the liquid storage tank, support component, and massage rollers inside the main body of the massage chamber, the liquid storage tank can store warm water to assist foot massage. The support component can be adjusted up and down through the cooperation of a drive motor, threaded rod, and vertical rod. The massage rollers can roll and massage the feet, and at the same time, the ball groove and grinding plate can clean some dead skin on the feet. With the help of water rinsing, the inclined groove at the top of the main body of the massage chamber can improve the comfort of foot placement. This solves the problem that most existing massage chairs do not have foot massage function and cannot achieve full-body physiotherapy. It fills the functional shortcomings of existing massage chairs, realizes foot massage, and, together with the upper body support massage of the main body of the massage chair, achieves the effect of full-body auxiliary physiotherapy, relieves overall muscle fatigue, and improves the user's massage experience.

[0023] 2. The drying component at the bottom of the liquid storage tank, along with the heat-conducting plate, heat pipes, fan, and connecting pipes inside the rectangular cavity, allows the airflow generated by the fan to be delivered to the rectangular cavity via the connecting pipes. The heat pipes then heat the heat-conducting plate to raise the temperature of the airflow, which is then delivered to the feet and the surface of the support plate through the air duct and the inclined air outlet. At the same time, the first control valve on one side of the liquid storage tank can promptly discharge waste liquid, achieving rapid warm drying after foot massage, preventing bacterial growth, ensuring hygiene, avoiding pipe wear and entanglement, improving the practicality and service life of the equipment, and further optimizing the user experience.

[0024] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The massage component 3 includes a cavity body 301 fixedly installed in the middle of one end of the top of the base 2. The cavity body 301 serves as the mounting base for the massage component 3. A liquid storage tank 302 is provided inside the cavity body 301. The liquid storage tank 302 is used to store warm water required for massage, providing a material basis for liquid-assisted foot massage. A support component 309 is provided inside the liquid storage tank 302. The support component 309 is used to support the user's feet and can be adjusted up and down.

[0041] The support assembly 309 includes a support plate 3090 that slides vertically within the liquid storage tank 302. A rectangular hole 3098 is formed through the top center of the support plate 3090. The rectangular hole 3098 is arranged along the length of the support plate 3090. Symmetrically recessed spherical grooves 3094 are provided at the end of the rectangular hole 3098 near the heel to conform to the contour of the human heel. The bottom of both spherical grooves 3094 is entirely spherical, allowing for precise conformation to the curved surface of the heel, improving placement comfort and limiting effect. The tank has vertical holes 3095 at equal intervals. The first vertical holes 3095 are arranged vertically and vertically to allow water and air to pass through smoothly. The rectangular hole 3098 is horizontally fixed at the other end away from the spherical groove 3094. The grinding plate 3096 is used to support the forefoot. The surface of the grinding plate 3096 is provided with a frosted texture to clean dead skin on the soles of the feet. The grinding plate 3096 also has second vertical holes 3097 at equal intervals inside. The second vertical holes 3097 are the same size as the first vertical holes 3095 and are vertically connected.

[0042] A crossbar 3099 is symmetrically fixed to the middle of the support plate 3090. A freely rotating massage stick 3010 is fixedly installed between the two crossbars 3099 for rolling and kneading massage of the soles of the feet. A water distribution plate 3011 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the support plate 3090 and directly below the rectangular hole 3098. The water distribution plate 3011 has an integrally formed sealed liquid storage chamber 3012. The top of the water distribution plate 3011 is respectively located directly below the first vertical hole 3095 and the second vertical hole 3097, and multiple nozzles 3013 are evenly distributed. The nozzles 3013 are connected to the liquid storage chamber 3012 and can spray high-pressure water upwards to rinse and clean the soles of the feet and the inside of the tank. A micro pump 3014 is fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 3090. The micro pump 3014 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 3012 and provides pressure power for the nozzles to spray water.

[0043] The support plate 3090 directly contacts the user's feet, serving to support the feet and transmit massage force. Its size is the same as the inner cavity size of the liquid storage tank 302, ensuring that the support plate 3090 slides smoothly within the liquid storage tank 302, avoiding deviation or shaking during the sliding process, and ensuring the stability of the massage process. A rectangular groove 3093 is symmetrically provided on one side of the support plate 3090. The rectangular groove 3093 is used to avoid the air duct 3100 of the drying component 310, which does not affect the up and down sliding of the support plate 3090, and ensures that the air outlet 3102 of the air duct 3100 can be accurately aligned with the user's feet, improving the drying effect.

[0044] It should be noted that the micro pump 3014 uses existing equipment and is connected to the control device 1 inside the massage chair body 1. The specific control logic is all existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0053] A massage method using a portable, multi-functional massage chair:

[0054] S1: First, the customer lies on the main body of the massage chair, then removes their shoes and socks, and places their feet on the 3090 support plate. The 313 drive motor drives the 312 threaded rod to rotate, thereby moving the 3090 support plate downwards until it reaches the bottom of the 302 liquid reservoir. This step is to accurately position the customer's feet in the designated positions for massage and subsequent washing and care, preparing them for the subsequent foot massage. The customer places their heels on the spherical groove 3094 and their forefoot on the grinding plate 3096. By moving their feet, the friction and the soaking in hot water remove excess dead skin from the soles of their feet. At the same time, the water distribution plate 3011 causes the nozzle 3013 to spray high-pressure water jets to rinse the corresponding positions, thus cleaning the support plate 3090 while achieving a massage.

[0055] S2: Water is heated by the water heater (4), and then injected into the liquid storage tank (302) through the outlet pipe (401) and the second control valve (402). This step provides customers with water at a suitable temperature for foot care, meeting their needs for cleaning and soothing. Then, the heat pipe (308) is activated to heat the heat conduction plate (307), allowing the heat from the heat conduction plate to be transferred to the liquid in the liquid storage tank (302), achieving continuous heating. This maintains a stable water temperature in the storage tank, preventing the water temperature from being too low and affecting the user experience, while also enhancing the foot-soothing effect. After the customer finishes using the product, the hot water in the liquid storage tank (302) is drained through the first control valve (314). This step cleans up the wastewater promptly, keeping the equipment clean and preparing it for the next use, while also preventing wastewater residue from breeding bacteria and damaging equipment parts.

[0056] S3: After the liquid in the 302 storage tank is drained, the 5 fan is activated, and under the action of the 501 connecting pipe, the air is delivered through the 304 rectangular cavity and the 3101 air duct to the 3102 air outlet. The heated air in the 304 rectangular cavity is blown out through the 3102 air outlet. This step achieves a dual purpose: first, it dries the customer's feet, quickly drying the moisture and preventing the customer's feet from getting wet and cold, while improving the comfort after use; second, it dries the inside of the cavity in the 302 storage tank, preventing residual moisture in the storage tank from breeding mold and corroding the equipment, extending the service life of the equipment, and keeping the inside of the equipment dry and clean.

[0057] The working principle of this invention:

[0058] Connect the water heater 4 to an external water source and ensure that the internal power supply of the massage chair body 1 is connected. The drive motor 313 and the fan 5 are properly connected to the power supply to ensure that all electrical components can start normally. The massage chair can be moved to the desired position by using the pulleys in the four corner mounting slots at the bottom of the base 2. After preparation, the user can sit on the massage chair body 1. The massage chair body 1 provides the user with comfortable sitting support to meet the needs of upper body rest. At the same time, the user can place their feet on the support plate 3090.

[0059] Then, the water outlet pipe 401 is opened through the second control valve 402, the water heater 4 starts and heats the liquid required for massage. After heating, the liquid is smoothly transported through the water outlet pipe 401 and the pipeline to the liquid storage tank 302 of the main body 301 of the cavity. The liquid storage tank 302 stores the warm water. At the same time, the drive motor 313 is started, and the drive motor 313 drives the threaded rod 312 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 312 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 3092 on the support plate 3090, and the support plate 3090 is slidably engaged with the vertical rod 311 through the limiting hole 3091, the vertical rod 311 plays a limiting and guiding role. Therefore, the rotational power of the threaded rod 312 is converted into the vertical linear motion of the support plate 3090. During the massage, users can adjust the support plate 3090 to a suitable height according to their foot size and massage needs, ensuring that the feet are in full contact with the top of the spherical groove 3094 and the grinding plate 3096. Under the action of friction and soaking in hot water, dead skin on the user's feet can be cleaned. At the same time, the massage roller 3010 rolls and massages the user's feet to relieve muscle soreness and fatigue. Meanwhile, the warm water in the liquid storage tank 302 can assist in the massage and further enhance the therapeutic effect. The heat pipe 308 in the rectangular cavity 304 is activated, and the heat generated is transferred to the heat conduction plate 307. The heat conduction plate 307 keeps the warm water in the liquid storage tank 302 at a constant temperature to prevent the warm water from cooling down and affecting the massage experience.

[0060] Finally, after the foot massage, first open the first control valve 314 to drain the solution in the liquid storage tank 302. Then, start the fan 5. The airflow generated by the fan 5 is delivered to the rectangular cavity 304 and the air duct 3101 through the connecting pipe 501. When the airflow passes through the heat-conducting plate 307 in the rectangular cavity 304, it is heated into warm airflow by the heat-conducting plate 307 to avoid discomfort caused by cold air blowing on the feet. The heated airflow enters the air duct 3100 through the air duct 3101 and is finally blown out from the multiple air outlets 3102 set at the top of the air duct 3100. The inclined design of the air outlets 3102 can expand the airflow coverage range, so that the warm airflow can be evenly applied to the user's feet and the surface of the support plate 3090, thoroughly drying the residual warm water, preventing bacterial growth, and improving the user's comfort after use. After the massage and drying are completed, turn off the drive motor 313 and the fan 5, and adjust the drive motor 313 to reset the support plate 3090 to the top of the liquid storage tank 302.

[0061] Example

[0062] During the hot water soaking stage, the water heater heats the water to a therapeutic temperature of 38-42℃. Combined with the 308 heat pipe and 307 heat-conducting plate, this maintains a constant water temperature in the storage tank 302. The warm water quickly expands the capillaries in the feet, softens the stratum corneum, and relaxes the tense plantar fascia and muscles. On top of this, the rolling and kneading motion of the 3010 massage stick, the exfoliating action of the 3096 grinding plate, and the high-pressure water jet from the 3013 nozzle penetrate the softened stratum corneum, directly targeting acupoints and deep muscles on the soles of the feet. This significantly enhances the penetration and relaxation efficiency of the massage, while also increasing the efficiency of dead skin removal by over 60%, avoiding skin damage and insufficient massage intensity that can occur with dry massage.

[0063] After soaking in hot water, the pores of the feet are fully open. At this time, the fan is turned on. The warm airflow of 38-45℃, heated by the 307 heat conduction plate, can be evenly covered in the entire area of ​​the feet through the 3102 tilted air outlet. This avoids the risk of getting cold from natural air drying and can quickly remove moisture from the skin surface when the pores are open. At the same time, the residual heat can further promote blood circulation. This avoids the problems of pore shrinkage and moisture residue caused by cold water drying or natural air drying, and reduces the environmental basis for fungal growth on the feet from the root.
