Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of foot baths, in particular to a 3D floating turntable structure and a foot bath containing the structure. Background Art
[0002] The traditional turntable massage mechanism of foot baths currently on the market mainly massages the feet through massage balls. Its characteristics are that "the gears drive the turntable seat to rotate horizontally around the rotation axis, and the massage balls arranged between the turntable seat and the turntable cover follow the horizontal circular motion. When the foot contacts the massage balls, the balls will rotate at the same time, thereby achieving the effect of massaging the feet." However, it has the following shortcomings when used: (1) The turntable seat and the massage balls thereon do not float in the vertical direction, but only rotate in the horizontal direction, making it difficult to control the massage intensity of the balls; the massage intensity of the balls depends entirely on the strength of the foot. If the foot is stepped on too lightly, the massage effect will be poor, and if the foot is stepped on too hard, it may cause foot injury or machine jam; (2) Since the sole of the foot is uneven, the arch of the foot is concave and asymmetrical, it is difficult to effectively massage all parts of the sole of the foot when the turntable seat rotates horizontally around a fixed vertical axis. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model aims to propose a 3D floating turntable structure and a foot bath containing the structure, which designs the turntable seat and the driven gear to be a "direct connection" or "indirect connection" limited movable cooperation mode, so that the turntable seat can not only move horizontally, but also float up and down in the vertical direction, or even 3D floating. Accordingly, the intensity of the ball massage is easier to control, and the foot is placed on the turntable assembly. When the foot is pressed, the turntable will adaptively adjust the height and deflection angle to ensure that it fits the bottom arc of the foot and effectively massages all positions of the sole of the foot.
[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the utility model is implemented as follows:
[0005] A 3D floating turntable structure comprises a driving gear, a driven gear, a turntable seat, a turntable cover and massage balls; the driving gear is located at the bottom of the foot bath and meshes with the driven gear; a docking seat is arranged on the upper part of the driven gear, and a plurality of limit sliding grooves extending upward and downward are opened on the docking seat along its circumference, and the docking seat is limitedly engaged with the turntable seat in a "direct connection" or "indirect connection" manner through the limit sliding grooves; the turntable cover is installed on the turntable seat, and a plurality of mounting grooves are arranged between the turntable cover and the turntable seat, and massage balls are limitedly installed in the mounting grooves; wherein, the turntable seat drives the turntable cover and the massage balls to rotate in the horizontal direction under the cooperation of the driving gear and the driven gear, and at the same time drives the turntable cover and the massage balls to float in the upper and lower directions under the cooperation of the limit sliding grooves of the docking seat.
[0006] Here, by designing the turntable seat and the driven gear as a limited movable cooperation mode of "direct connection" or "indirect connection", the turntable seat can not only move horizontally, but also float up and down in the vertical direction, or even 3D floating. Accordingly, the intensity of the ball massage is easier to control. When you put your foot on the turntable assembly, the turntable will adaptively adjust the height and deflection angle when the foot is pressed to ensure that it fits the bottom arc of the foot and effectively massages all parts of the sole of the foot.
[0007] Furthermore, when the docking seat and the turntable seat are limited and movable in a "direct connection" manner: a plurality of first snap-connecting sliders are provided at the bottom of the turntable seat; the first snap-connecting sliders are directly snap-connected with the limiting slide groove openings of the docking seat, and at the same time, can also slide up and down in the limiting slide groove openings under the action of external force.
[0008] Furthermore, the width of the first buckling slider is slightly smaller than the width of the corresponding limiting sliding groove opening, and cooperates with the inner wall clearance of the limiting sliding groove opening, thereby facilitating the relative sliding of the first buckling slider and the limiting sliding groove opening.
[0009] Furthermore, the turntable seat and the docking seat are both disc structures with built-in cavities, the corresponding cavities of the two are connected and a first spring is installed; when the first buckled slider slides downward in the limiting sliding groove under the action of external force, the first spring is compressed; when the external force disappears, the first spring drives the first buckled slider to quickly reset.
[0010] Furthermore, when the docking seat and the turntable seat are limited and movable in an "indirect connection" manner: a rotating shaft is connected to the bottom of the turntable seat, and the top of the rotating shaft is coupled to the positioning groove at the bottom of the turntable seat through a universal joint, and a plurality of second buckling sliders are provided at the bottom of the rotating shaft; the second buckling slider is buckled and matched with the limiting slide groove mouth of the docking seat, and at the same time, can also slide up and down in the limiting slide groove mouth under the action of external force.
[0011] Here, the setting of the rotating shaft realizes the connection between the docking seat and the turntable seat, and also has the functions of "easy to disassemble" and "more flexible connection", among which "more flexible connection" is due to the coupling of the universal joint at the top of the rotating shaft and the turntable seat.
[0012] Furthermore, the width of the second buckling slider is slightly smaller than the width of the corresponding limiting sliding groove opening, and cooperates with the inner wall clearance of the limiting sliding groove opening, thereby facilitating the relative sliding of the second buckling slider and the limiting sliding groove opening.
[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the rotating shaft and the docking seat are both disc structures with built-in cavities, the corresponding cavities of the two are connected and a second spring is installed; when the second buckling slider slides downward in the limiting sliding groove under the action of external force, the second spring is compressed; when the external force disappears, the second spring drives the second buckling slider to quickly reset.
[0014] Furthermore, the driving gear and the driven gear are both arranged on the bottom cover of the chassis of the foot bath; a positioning groove is arranged at the bottom of the driving gear, which is coupled with the output shaft of the motor, and the gear end of the driving gear is meshed with the driven gear; under the drive of the motor, the driving gear is linked to the driven gear, and drives the turntable seat, the turntable cover and the massage balls thereon to rotate in the horizontal direction.
[0015] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model also provides a footbath, which includes the above-mentioned 3D floating turntable structure.
[0016] The advantages of the foot bath and the above-mentioned 3D floating turntable structure over the prior art are the same, which will not be repeated here.
[0017] Furthermore, a plurality of 3D floating turntable structures are installed on the foot bath, and the installation heights of the 3D floating turntable structures are different.
[0018] Here, all 3D floating turntable structures can be installed at different heights according to the shape of the sole of the foot, so that the massage balls on each 3D floating turntable structure can fit the sole of the user's foot, ensuring that the pressure on the sole and arch of the foot is consistent.
[0019] Beneficial effects:
[0020] (1) The utility model designs the turntable seat and the driven gear to be in a "direct connection" or "indirect connection" limited movable cooperation mode, so that the turntable seat can not only move horizontally, but also float up and down in the vertical direction; at the same time, because the utility model is provided with a plurality of circumferentially distributed limited sliding grooves and the first / second buckle sliding blocks matched therewith, when the foot presses the edge of the turntable seat, the turntable will not move down as a whole, but will move down partially with the compressed symmetrical position as the axis, thereby better fitting the contour of the sole of the foot and realizing the 3D floating of the turntable seat; accordingly, the ball massage force of the structure of the utility model is easier to control. When the foot is placed on the turntable assembly, the turntable will adaptively adjust the height and deflection angle under the pressure of the foot to ensure that it fits the bottom arc of the foot, so as to avoid stepping too hard to cause foot injury or machine jam, and can also effectively massage all positions of the sole of the foot;
[0021] (2) The foot bath of the utility model can be installed with multiple 3D floating turntable structures, for example, two; the two turntables are not linked to each other and can float independently, and the elasticity, position and height of the two turntables can be set separately, so that the massage balls can fit the soles of the user's feet, ensuring that the pressure on the soles and arches of the feet is consistent.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0038] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.
[0039] Example 1
[0040] See also Figure 1-7 :A 3D floating turntable structure 1 of this embodiment includes a driving gear 11, a driven gear 12, a turntable seat 13, a turntable cover 14 and massage balls 15. The driving gear 11 is located at the bottom of the foot bath 100 and meshes with the driven gear 12; a docking seat 121 is provided on the upper part of the driven gear 12, and three limit sliding grooves 1211 extending up and down are provided on the docking seat 121 along its circumference. The docking seat 121 is limitedly movable with the turntable seat 14 in a "direct connection" manner through the three limit sliding grooves 1211; the turntable cover 14 is installed on the turntable seat 13 by screws or buckles, and three installation slots 131 are provided between the turntable cover 14 and the turntable seat 13, and massage balls 15 are installed in the installation slots 131 in a limited manner. Among them, the turntable seat 13 can drive the turntable cover 14 and the massage balls 15 to realize overall rotation in the horizontal direction under the cooperation of the driving gear 11 and the driven gear 12, and at the same time drive the turntable cover 14 and the massage balls 15 to float in the up and down directions under the cooperation of the limiting slide groove 1211 of the docking seat 121.
[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the driving gear 11 and the driven gear 23 are both arranged on the bottom cover 2 of the bottom plate of the foot bath 100; a positioning groove is arranged at the bottom of the driving gear 11, which is coupled with the output shaft of the motor, and the gear end of the driving gear 11 is meshed with the driven gear 12. Under the drive of the motor, the driving gear 11 links the driven gear 12, and drives the turntable seat 13, the turntable cover 14 and the massage balls 15 thereon to rotate in the horizontal direction.
[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, three first snap-connecting sliders 132 are provided at the bottom of the turntable seat 13; the three first snap-connecting sliders 132 are snap-connected with the three limiting slide grooves 1211 of the docking seat 121 respectively, and at the same time, each first snap-connecting slider 132 can also slide up and down in the limiting slide groove 1211 under the action of external force to realize the force floating of the turntable seat 13.
[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the width of the first locking slider 132 is slightly smaller than the width of the corresponding limiting slide slot 1211 , and cooperates with the inner wall gap of the limiting slide slot 1211 , thereby facilitating the relative sliding of the first locking slider 132 and the limiting slide slot 1211 .
[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the turntable seat 13 and the docking seat 121 are both disk structures with built-in cavities, and the corresponding cavities of the two are connected and installed with the first spring 16. When the first buckle slider 132 slides downward in the limit sliding groove 1211 under the action of external force, the first spring 16 is compressed; when the external force disappears, the first spring 16 drives the first buckle slider 132 to quickly reset.
[0045] In addition, in this embodiment, the massage balls 15 on the turntable seat 13 will rotate along with the turntable seat 13 in a free state, and will rotate while rotating in a compressed state.
[0046] This embodiment designs the turntable seat 13 and the driven gear 12 as a "direct connection" limited movable cooperation mode, so that the turntable seat 13 can not only move horizontally, but also float up and down in the vertical direction; at the same time, since this embodiment is provided with three circumferentially distributed limited sliding grooves 1211 and the first buckling slider 132 matched therewith, when the foot presses the edge of the turntable seat 13, the turntable will not move down as a whole, but will move down partially with the compressed symmetrical position as the axis, so as to better fit the contour of the sole of the foot and realize the 3D floating of the turntable seat 13. Accordingly, the ball massage intensity of this structure is easier to control. When the foot is placed on the 3D floating turntable structure 1, the turntable will adaptively adjust the height and deflection angle under the pressure of the foot to ensure that it fits the bottom arc of the foot, and will not cause foot injuries or machine jams due to stepping too hard, and can also effectively massage all positions of the sole of the foot.
[0047] Example 2
[0048] See also Figure 8-12 : A 3D floating turntable structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of embodiment 1, with the main difference being that the docking seat 121 is limitedly movable with the turntable seat 13 in an "indirect connection" manner through three limiting sliding grooves 1211.
[0049] Specifically, a rotating shaft 17 is connected to the bottom of the turntable seat 13, and the top of the rotating shaft 17 is coupled to the positioning groove at the bottom of the turntable seat 13 through a universal joint 171. Three second buckling sliders 172 are arranged at the bottom of the rotating shaft 17; the second buckling sliders 172 are buckled and matched with the three limiting slide grooves 1211 of the docking seat 121, and at the same time, each second buckling slider 172 can also slide up and down in the limiting slide groove 1211 under the action of external force.
[0050] Furthermore, the width of the second buckling slider 172 is slightly smaller than the width of the corresponding limiting sliding slot opening 1211 , and cooperates with the inner wall clearance of the limiting sliding slot opening 1211 , thereby facilitating the relative sliding of the second buckling slider 172 and the limiting sliding slot opening 1211 .
[0051] Furthermore, the bottom of the rotating shaft 17 and the docking seat 121 are both disc structures with built-in cavities, and the corresponding cavities of the two are connected and installed with the second spring 18. When the second buckling slider 172 slides downward in the limit sliding groove 1211 under the action of external force, the second spring 18 is compressed; when the external force disappears, the second spring 18 drives the second buckling slider 172 to quickly reset.
[0052] In this embodiment, the turntable seat 13 and the driven gear 12 are designed to be "indirectly connected" in a limited movable cooperation mode, so that the turntable seat 13 can not only move horizontally, but also float up and down in the vertical direction; at the same time, due to the provision of three circumferentially distributed limiting sliding grooves 1211 and the structure cooperating therewith, when the foot presses the edge of the turntable seat 13, the turntable will not move downward as a whole, but will move downward locally with the compressed symmetrical position as the axis, thereby better fitting the contour of the sole of the foot and realizing the 3D floating of the turntable seat 13; accordingly, the ball massage intensity of the structure is easier to control, and the foot is placed on the 3D floating turntable structure 1. Under the pressure of the foot, the turntable will adaptively adjust the height and deflection angle to ensure that it fits the bottom arc of the foot, and there will be no situation where stepping too hard causes foot injury or machine jam, and all positions of the sole of the foot can be effectively massaged.
[0053] In addition, the setting of the rotating shaft 17 in this embodiment not only realizes the connection between the docking seat 121 and the turntable seat 13, but also has the functions of "easy to disassemble" and "more flexible connection", among which "more flexible connection" is due to the coupling between the universal joint 171 at the top of the rotating shaft 17 and the turntable seat 13.
[0054] Example 3
[0055] See also Figure 1-12: A footbath, the footbath 100 includes two 3D floating turntable structures 1, wherein the specific structure of one 3D floating turntable structure 1 is the same as that of Example 1, and the specific structure of the other 3D floating turntable structure 1 is the same as that of Example 2, which will not be repeated here. At the same time, the advantages of the footbath 100 and the 3D floating turntable structure 1 of the above-mentioned embodiment over the prior art are also the same, which will not be repeated here.
[0056] In addition, it should be noted that the two 3D floating turntable structures 1 of this embodiment can be installed at different heights according to the shape of the sole of the foot, so that the massage balls 15 on each 3D floating turntable structure 1 can fit the sole of the user's foot, ensuring that the pressure on the sole and arch of the foot is consistent.
[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
