Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a massage chair with a variable backrest angle. Background Art

[0002] Currently, variable-angle massage chairs on the market have separate back and seat parts that perform circular motion around a rotation center. For example, the Chinese utility model patent application number 202011303292.8, titled "Multi-angle Adjustable Back Massage Chair," includes a movement, a chair frame, and a rack. The chair frame includes a seat frame and a back frame, one end of the seat frame being hinged to one end of the back frame, and the back frame rotates relative to the seat frame to form a rotation plane. The rack is fixed to the seat frame and the back frame, with the teeth on the rack oriented perpendicular to the rotation plane. The movement is set on one side of the rack, with the teeth on the rack facing the movement. The movement is provided with a running gear meshing with the rack. Rotating the running gear can drive the movement to move back and forth along the rack. The rack is made of elastic material.

[0003] However, this type of massage chair has a problem. When a person sits on the seat, the shoulders and back of the human body will be stretched as the backrest rotates. This will cause the position of the shoulders and back to change, which can easily lead to errors in shoulder and back recognition. The position of the human shoulder and back will move differently depending on the angle of the backrest rotation. For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 The state of the human body when the backrest has not been adjusted, at this time the distance e' between the bottom vertex of the backrest cushion and the left vertex of the seat cushion is small; Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the backrest is adjusted to its maximum rearward angle, the distance E' between the bottom vertex of the backrest cushion and the left vertex of the seat cushion reaches its maximum. At this point, the shoulders and back are stretched as the backrest rotates downward, causing them to shift downward. This is detrimental to the design of the massage program, as each shoulder movement requires a new body recognition, making the massage technique very unfriendly.

[0004] And, from Figure 2 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the greater the distance between the rotation center of the backrest and the vertex of the bottom end of the backrest cushion, the greater the distance between the vertex of the bottom end of the backrest cushion and the vertex of the left end of the seat cushion, that is, E' is greater than e'. If the difference between E'-e' is greater than 20 mm, it is easy for the shoulders and back to move more significantly. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention provides a massage chair with a variable backrest angle, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art. The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is:

[0036] In the claims, specification and the above drawings of the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined, the terms "fixed connection" and "fixed connection" should be understood in a broad sense, that is, any connection method without any displacement relationship and relative rotation relationship between the two parties, that is, including non-detachable fixed connection, detachable fixed connection, integral connection and fixed connection through other devices or elements.

[0037] In the claims, description and drawings of the present utility model, if the terms "include", "have" and their variations are used, they are intended to mean "including but not limited to".

[0038] Please refer to Figures 5 to 13 , one of the preferred embodiments of a massage chair with a variable backrest angle, the massage chair with a variable backrest angle includes a seat and a backrest, the seat includes a seat frame 10 and a seat cushion 20 installed on the seat frame 10, the backrest includes a backrest frame 30 and a backrest cushion 40 installed on the backrest frame 30, the backrest can rotate relative to the seat, and the distance between the rotation center of the backrest and the vertex of the bottom end of the backrest cushion 40 is greater than or equal to a first preset distance and less than or equal to a second preset distance.

[0039] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the distance between the rotation center of the backrest portion and the vertex of the bottom end of the backrest cushion 40 is defined as d, that is, the first predetermined distance ≤ d ≤ the second predetermined distance. In this embodiment, the first predetermined distance is 10 mm and the second predetermined distance is 100 mm, that is, 10 mm ≤ d ≤ 100 mm.

[0040] like Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the circle drawn with the rotation center as the center and d as the radius is the inner small circle; the circle drawn with the rotation center as the center and the distance D between the rotation center of the backrest and the left end vertex of the seat cushion 20 as the radius is the outer large circle, the maximum rotation angle of the backrest is a, the line segment between the bottom vertex of the backrest cushion 40 when it is not rotated and the bottom vertex when it is rotated to the maximum angle is F, the distance e between the bottom vertex of the backrest cushion 40 and the left end vertex of the seat cushion 20 when the backrest angle has not been adjusted, the distance E between the bottom vertex of the backrest cushion 40 and the left end vertex of the seat cushion 20 when the backrest angle is adjusted backward to the maximum value, and the angle between the line segment F and the distance e is β;

[0041] According to the trigonometric function relationship:

[0042]

[0043]

[0044] Since in conventional designs, the maximum rotation angle a of the backrest is approximately 18 degrees, and the distance e between the bottom vertex of the backrest cushion 40 and the left vertex of the seat cushion 20 when the backrest angle has not been adjusted is approximately 30 mm, substituting the maximum value of d 100 into formulas (1) and (2), it can be obtained that E = 46.6, then: Ee = 16.6.

[0045] Therefore, the distance d between the rotation center of the backrest and the bottom vertex of the backrest cushion 40 is greater than or equal to the first predetermined distance and less than or equal to the second predetermined distance. This ensures that when the backrest is adjusted rearward to its maximum angle, the difference between the distance E between the bottom vertex of the backrest cushion 40 and the left vertex of the seat cushion 20 and the distance e between the bottom vertex of the backrest cushion 40 and the left vertex of the seat cushion 20 when the backrest has not been adjusted is less than 20 mm, that is, Ee ≤ 20 mm. This minimizes the displacement of the shoulders and back as the backrest rotates, facilitating massage program design and eliminating the need for re-identification.

[0046] In this embodiment, the distance d between the rotation center of the backrest and the vertex of the bottom end of the backrest cushion 40 is greater than or equal to the first predetermined distance and less than or equal to the third predetermined distance. In this embodiment, the third predetermined distance is 80 mm.

[0047] Preferably, the distance d between the rotation center of the backrest and the vertex of the bottom end of the backrest cushion 40 is a fourth predetermined distance, which is 55 mm. That is, when d = 55 mm, Ee = 6.8 mm, which minimizes the displacement of the human shoulder and back.

[0048] In this embodiment, Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the seat frame 10 is provided with an upwardly extending rotating rod 11, and the top of the rotating rod 11 is provided with a first axial hole 12, and the first axial hole 12 is located in the backrest; the backrest also includes a rotating frame 50, and the rotating frame 50 is provided with a second axial hole 51, and is further provided with a rotating shaft (not shown in the figure), which is riveted to the first axial hole 12 and the second axial hole 51 so that the rotating frame 50 can rotate relative to the rotating rod 11; a rotating drive member is also provided, which is mounted on the seat frame 10 and is transmission-connected to the rotating frame 50.

[0049] In this embodiment, the rotating rod 11 is arranged perpendicular to the top surface of the seat frame 10 .

[0050] In this embodiment, two spaced-apart lugs 52 are provided at the bottom end of the rotating frame 50, and the rotating driving member is a driving cylinder 60, the cylinder body of the driving cylinder 60 is connected to the seat frame 10 and the piston rod thereof is located between the two lugs 52 and is hingedly connected to the two lugs 52.

[0051] In this embodiment, the rotating frame 50 is further provided with a transmission rod 53, the end of which is hingedly connected to the backrest frame 40. Figure 10 As shown, when the piston rod of the driving cylinder 60 is in the extended position, the backrest is in the position where the angle is not adjusted; Figure 11 As shown, when the piston rod of the driving cylinder 60 is in the retracted position, the backrest rotates to the maximum angle.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 , which is another embodiment of the present application.

[0053] The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment lies in the position of the first axial hole 12 of the rotating rod 11, that is, the rotation center of the backrest, which is different. Specifically:

[0054] In this embodiment, the seat frame 10 is provided with an upwardly extending rotating rod 11, and the top of the rotating rod 11 is provided with a first axial hole 12, and the first axial hole 12 is located in the seat cushion 20; the backrest portion also includes a rotating frame 50 and a rotating matching rod 54, and the rotating matching rod 54 is fixedly connected to the backrest frame 30 and is provided with a second axial hole 51, and is also provided with a rotating shaft, which is riveted to the first axial hole 12 and the second axial hole 51 so that the rotating matching rod 54 can rotate relative to the rotating rod 11; a rotating driving member is also provided, which is hingedly connected to the seat frame 10 and is transmission-connected to the backrest frame 30 through the rotating frame 50.

[0055] In this embodiment, two spaced-apart lugs 52 are provided at the bottom end of the rotating frame 50, and the rotating driving member is a driving cylinder 60. The cylinder body of the driving cylinder 60 is provided with a connecting piece 61, and the connecting piece 61 is located between the two lugs 52 and is hingedly connected to the two lugs 52. The piston rod of the driving cylinder 60 is hingedly connected to the seat frame 10.

[0056] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and therefore cannot be used to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. In other words, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the patent scope of the present invention and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
