DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0045] This embodiment discloses a massage device 1000 with rotatable side panels. Figure 1 and Figure 2The massage device 1000 includes a frame 100, a side panel 200 and a rotation drive assembly 300. In this embodiment, two side panels 200 are provided, and the two side panels 200 are rotatably provided on the left and right sides of the frame 100, respectively. Two rotation drive assemblies 300 are provided, and the two rotation drive assemblies 300 are respectively connected to the two sides of the frame 100 and are each connected to a side panel 200, and the side panels 200 are driven to rotate by the rotation drive assembly 300 to open or close the side panels 200.

[0046] In addition, in other embodiments, only one rotation driving assembly 300 may be provided, and the rotation driving assembly 300 drives one side panel 200 to rotate so as to open or close the side panel 200 of the massage device 1000 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the massage device 1000 is specifically a massage chair, which can support the buttocks, feet and back of the human body after the human body sits down. In addition, in other embodiments, the massage device 1000 can also be a massage bed or other massagers provided with side panels 200.

[0048] In this embodiment, the frame 100 includes a cushion portion 110 and a backrest portion 120. The cushion portion 110 is used to support the buttocks of a human body; the backrest portion 120 is connected to the rear side of the cushion portion 110 and is used to support the back of a human body. In some embodiments, the backrest portion 120 is configured to rotate forward and backward relative to the cushion portion 110 to adjust the inclination angle when the human body leans on it.

[0049] The side panels 200 are generally rectangular, and when a person sits on the massage chair and uses the massage chair normally, the side panels 200 are enclosed on both sides of the person to enclose the person, and the side panels 200 are for the person's arms to be placed. In some embodiments, the side panels 200 may also be provided with massage mechanisms such as massage airbags and massage heads to massage the person's arms.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 The rotation drive assembly 300 includes a first connecting rod 310, a second connecting rod 320 and a push rod 330. On the side where the rotation drive assembly 300 is located, the first connecting rod 310 is fixed to the cushion portion 110 of the frame 100, and the second connecting rod 320 is fixed to the side plate 200. The first connecting rod 310 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 320, the first end of the push rod 330 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 310, and the second end of the push rod 330 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 320. The push rod 330 can be extended to drive the first connecting rod 310 to rotate relative to the second connecting rod 320. Thus, the side plate 200 is driven by the rotation drive assembly 300 to rotate relative to the frame 100, so as to open the massage device 1000 to facilitate the user to sit, or close the massage device 1000 to enclose the user for massage.

[0051] Among them, the first connecting rod 310, the second connecting rod 320 and the push rod 330 are located in the same plane, so that the first connecting rod 310, the second connecting rod 320 and the push rod 330 are located in the same plane to form a triangular mechanism, and the extension and contraction of the push rod 330 can drive the second connecting rod 320 to rotate relative to the first connecting rod 310, thereby realizing the rotation of the side plate 200 relative to the frame 100, without manual operation, and facilitating the opening and closing of the side plate 200. At the same time, the push rod 330, the first connecting rod 310 and the second connecting rod 320 form a triangular structure, so that the rotation drive device is more stable and reliable when supporting the side plate 200, with a reasonable structure and good structural strength.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the plane in which the first connecting rod 310, the second connecting rod 320 and the push rod 330 are located is defined as a rotation plane, wherein the rotation plane is parallel to the side panel 200, so that the rotation drive assembly 300 can drive the side panel 200 to rotate up and down relative to the frame 100, that is, the side panel 200 rotates in the vertical direction to open or close.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotation connection point between the first connecting rod 310 and the second connecting rod 320 is defined as the first pivot point 340, the rotation connection point between the push rod 330 and the first connecting rod 310 is defined as the second pivot point 350, and the rotation connection point between the push rod 330 and the second connecting rod 320 is defined as the third pivot point 360. The first pivot point 340 is located at the rear end of the side panel 200, that is, the side panel 200 rotates in the vertical plane with the rear end as the rotation point, so that the front end of the side panel 200 is lifted or dropped.

[0054] It should be noted that the front here refers to the direction along the horizontal direction toward the side where the user sits (i.e. the direction in which the seat cushion part 110 is away from the backrest part 120), and the rear here refers to the direction along the horizontal direction away from the side where the user sits (i.e. the direction in which the seat cushion part 110 is close to the backrest part 120).

[0055] In this embodiment, the second pivot point 350 is located below the first pivot point 340, and the third pivot point 360 is located in front of the first pivot point 340. That is, the first end of the push rod 330 is located below the first pivot point 340, and the second end of the push rod 330 is located in front of the first pivot point 340. Therefore, when the push rod 330 is extended, the push rod 330 pushes the second connecting rod 320 to rotate upward around the first pivot point 340 toward the upper front side, so that the side panel 200 rotates upward and opens. When the push rod 330 is retracted, the push rod 330 pulls the second connecting rod 320 to rotate downward around the first pivot point 340 toward the lower rear side, so that the side panel 200 rotates downward and closes.

[0056] In one embodiment, the second pivot point 350 may be located above the first pivot point 340, and the third pivot point 360 may be located in front of the first pivot point 340. When the push rod 330 is extended, the side plate 200 is driven to rotate downward around the first pivot point 340 in the vertical plane, and when the push rod 330 is retracted, the side plate 200 is driven to rotate upward around the first pivot point 340 in the vertical plane.

[0057] In one embodiment, the second pivot point 350 may be located above the first pivot point 340, and the third pivot point 360 may be located behind the first pivot point 340. When the push rod 330 is extended, the side plate 200 is driven to rotate upward around the first pivot point 340 in the vertical plane; when the push rod 330 is retracted, the side plate 200 is driven to rotate downward around the first pivot point 340 in the vertical plane.

[0058] In one embodiment, the second pivot point 350 may be located below the first pivot point 340, and the third pivot point 360 may be located behind the first pivot point 340. When the push rod 330 is extended, the side plate 200 is driven to rotate downward around the first pivot point 340 in the vertical plane; when the push rod 330 is retracted, the side plate 200 is driven to rotate upward in the vertical plane.

[0059] In some other embodiments, the rotation plane may also be arranged perpendicular to the side plate 200 , so that the rotation drive assembly 300 drives the side plate 200 to rotate toward or away from the frame 100 in the left and right directions.

[0060] For example, in one embodiment, the rotation plane is perpendicular to the side plate 200. The rotation connection point between the first link 310 and the second link 320 is still defined as the first pivot point 340, the rotation connection point between the push rod 330 and the first link 310 is defined as the second pivot point 350, and the rotation connection point between the push rod 330 and the second link 320 is defined as the third pivot point 360. The first pivot point 340 is located at the lower end of the side plate 200, the second pivot point 350 is located at the inner side of the first pivot point 340, and the third pivot point 360 is located above the first pivot point 340.

[0061] Here, the inner side refers to the side of the two side panels 200 facing each other, and the outer side refers to the side of the two side panels 200 facing away from each other. When the push rod 330 is extended, the side panels 200 rotate outward around their lower ends, so that the upper ends of the two side panels 200 rotate in opposite directions to open the side panels 200; when the push rod 330 is retracted, the side panels 200 rotate inward around their lower ends, so that the upper ends of the two side panels 200 rotate in opposite directions to close the side panels 200.

[0062] In one embodiment, the rotation plane is perpendicular to the side plate 200, the first pivot point 340 is disposed at the lower end of the side plate 200, the second pivot point 350 is disposed on the inner side of the first pivot point 340, and the third pivot point 360 is located below the first pivot point 340. When the push rod 330 is retracted, the side plate 200 rotates outward around its lower end; when the push rod 330 is extended, the side plate 200 rotates inward around its lower end.

[0063] In one embodiment, the rotation plane is set perpendicular to the side panel 200, the first pivot point 340 is set at the lower end of the side panel 200, the second pivot point 350 is set on the outer side of the first pivot point 340, and the third pivot point 360 is set above the first pivot point 340; when the push rod 330 is retracted, the side panel 200 rotates outward around its lower end; when the push rod 330 is extended, the side panel 200 rotates inward around its lower end.

[0064] In one embodiment, the rotation plane is set perpendicular to the side panel 200, the first pivot point 340 is set at the lower end of the side panel 200, the second pivot point 350 is set on the outer side of the first pivot point 340, and the third pivot point 360 is set below the first pivot point 340; when the push rod 330; when the push rod 330 is extended, the side panel 200 rotates outward around its lower end; when the push rod 330 is retracted, the side panel 200 rotates inward around its lower end.

[0065] In one embodiment, the rotation plane is perpendicular to the side panel 200, the first pivot point 340 is located at the rear end of the side panel 200, the second pivot point 350 is located inside the first pivot point 340, and the third pivot point 360 is located in front of the first pivot point 340. When the push rod 330 is extended, the side panel 200 rotates outward around its rear end (i.e., the front ends of the two side panels 200 move away from each other) to open the side panel 200, and when the push rod 330 is retracted, the side panel 200 rotates inward around its rear end (i.e., the front ends of the two side panels 200 move closer to each other) to close the side panel 200.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first connecting rod 310 is parallel to the side panel 200 and is vertically fixed to the cushion portion 110 of the frame 100, and the second connecting rod 320 is horizontally arranged along the length direction of the side panel 200, so that the first connecting rod 310 can vertically support the second connecting rod 320 and the side panel 200 well, making the structure of the massage device 1000 more solid and reliable. When the side panel 200 is enclosed in the human body and kept in a closed state, the first connecting rod 310, the second connecting rod 320 and the push rod 330 are respectively two right angles and a hypotenuse of a right triangle, so that the connection strength between the side panel 200 and the frame 100 bracket is better.

[0070] In addition, in other embodiments, the first connecting rod 310 and the second connecting rod 320 may also be arranged to be inclined.

[0071] Reference Figure 5 The first connecting rod 310 is provided with a first connecting ear 311, the second connecting rod 320 is provided with a second connecting ear 321, the first end of the push rod 330 is pivoted to the first connecting ear 311, and the second end of the first connecting rod 310 is pivoted to the second connecting ear 321. The two ends of the push rod 330 are pivoted to the first connecting rod 310 and the second connecting rod 320 through the first connecting ear 311 and the second connecting ear 321, respectively, so that the first connecting rod 310, the second connecting rod 320 and the push rod 330 can be located in the same plane, and the first connecting rod 310 and the second connecting rod 320 will not restrict the rotation of the push rod 330.

[0072] Specifically, the first connecting ear 311 and the second connecting ear 321 are both channel steels, and the materials thereof are easy to obtain and convenient to process. The back side of the first connecting ear 311 (i.e., the side away from the notch) is fixed to the first connecting rod 310, and the back side of the second connecting ear 321 is fixed to the second connecting rod 320. The first end and the second end of the push rod 330 are respectively inserted into the grooves of the first connecting ear 311 and the second connecting ear 321, and a pivot is arranged in the groove of the channel steel, and the pivot passes through the push rod 330 to pivotally connect the push rod 330. The two ends of the push rod 330 are inserted into the grooves of the channel steel and pivotally connected to the channel steel through the pivot, so that the connecting ears are not easy to block the rotation of the push rod 330.

[0073] The push rod 330 may be an electric push rod 330 or a pneumatic push rod 330. In this embodiment, the electric push rod 330 is specifically selected.

[0074] Reference Figure 1In this embodiment, a mounting slot 400 is provided at the upper end of the side plate 200. Devices such as mobile phones, tablets or control devices can be placed in the mounting slot 400, which is convenient for users to use mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices when using the massage device, or control the massage device 1000 through the control device.

[0075] In some embodiments, a communication interface is provided in the mounting slot 400 to facilitate connecting a mobile phone, a tablet, a control device, etc. to charge it or electrically connect it to the control circuit of the massage device 1000. In some embodiments, a mobile phone, a tablet, a control device, etc. can also be connected to the massage device 1000 via a wireless connection method such as Bluetooth, WiFi, NFC, etc.

[0076] In this embodiment, the massage device 1000 further includes a motion sensor and a controller. The motion sensor is placed in the installation slot 400 or other parts of the side panel 200 to detect the motion data of the user's hand. The controller is electrically connected to the motion sensor and the push rod 330, and the controller controls the linear drive assembly to move according to the motion data. The controller sends a control signal according to the motion data to control the push rod 330 to drive the test plate to rotate, thereby reducing the setting of buttons, improving the aesthetics of the massage device 1000, and making the human-computer interaction stronger and more interesting.

[0077] The controller includes a central processing unit and a gesture recognition mechanism, the recognition end of the central processing unit is bidirectionally connected to the gesture recognition mechanism, and the output end of the central processing unit is electrically connected to the push rod 330. The gesture recognition mechanism includes a recognition chip and a microprocessor, the input end of the recognition chip is connected to the central processing unit, the output end of the recognition chip is connected to the microprocessor, the storage end of the microprocessor is connected to a first gesture memory, the first gesture memory is preset with gesture data for switching the state of the side panel 200, and the output end of the microprocessor is connected to the central processing unit.

[0078] The central processing unit receives the motion data detected by the motion sensor and transmits it to the identification chip. The identification chip calls the gesture data corresponding to the motion data in the first gesture memory through the microprocessor. The microprocessor transmits the gesture data to the central processing unit, so that the central processing unit controls the push rod 330 to extend or retract, thereby switching the state of the side panel 200.

[0079] The side panel 200 has two states: a state convenient for users to sit down and a closed state. When the side panel 200 is in the state convenient for users to sit down, the side panel 200 rotates upward to expose the frame 100; when the side panel 200 is in the closed state, the side panel 200 rotates downward to enclose both sides of the frame 100.

[0080] Correspondingly, the gesture data of the first gesture memory includes:

[0081] When the motion sensor detects that the user's hand moves from the front of the seat to the back of the seat, the side panel 200 is controlled to rotate upward, so that the side panel 200 is switched to a state that is convenient for the user to sit down.

[0082] When the user's hand moves from the rear of the seat to the front of the seat, the side panel 200 is controlled to rotate downward, so that the side panel 200 switches to a closed state.

[0083] Preferably, the massage device 1000 is provided with a seat sensor for detecting whether the user is seated, and the seat sensor is connected to the central processor. The seat sensor can be one or more of a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, and a light sensor.

[0084] The massage device 1000 may be further configured such that the side panels 200 are automatically switched to a closed state after the seat sensor detects that the user has sat down, thereby reducing the user's operations.

[0085] The massage device 1000 can be further configured such that the side panel 200 automatically switches to the closed state after a set time has passed since the user-friendly state. The user can set a set time between the user-friendly state and the closed state. That is, when the side panel 200 rotates upward to open the massage chair for a period of time and the user sits on the massage chair during this period of time, the side panel 200 automatically moves forward to close the massage chair.

[0086] In this embodiment, the storage end of the microprocessor is also connected to a second gesture memory, which is independent of the first gesture memory. The second gesture memory stores gesture data for adjusting seat height and / or backrest angle or movement position and / or movement massage intensity and / or music volume and / or switching music.

[0087] Before the user takes his seat, the storage end of the microprocessor is only connected to the first gesture memory. At this time, the microprocessor only calls the gesture data in the first memory and only controls the side panel 200 to switch states to reduce the gesture misjudgment rate.

[0088] Preferably, the massage device 1000 further includes a feedback mechanism for feeding back to the user the adjustment progress of the side panel 200, and the feedback mechanism includes at least one of a vibration motor, a voice coil motor, a speaker and an indicator light.

[0089] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, so all equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structure, features and principles described in the scope of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
