[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 9 The utility model provides a foot massager 100 .

[0036] In an embodiment of the utility model, the foot massager 100 includes: a shell 10, which is formed with a mounting cavity 10a, a massage groove 10b and a through hole, wherein the through hole connects the mounting cavity 10a and the massage groove 10b; a massage component 20, including a massage drive 21 and a massage plate 22, wherein the massage drive 21 is installed in the mounting cavity 10a, the massage plate 22 is transmission-connected to the massage drive 21, and is at least partially located in the massage groove 10b; a first heating component 30, including a mounting seat 31 and a fan 32 and a first heating plate 33 installed on the mounting seat 31, wherein the mounting seat 31 is installed in the mounting cavity 10a and is provided with an air supply channel 31a connected to the through hole, wherein the fan 32 is used to introduce external air into the massage groove 10b, and the first heating plate 33 is used to heat the air.

[0037] Specifically, in the embodiment of the utility model, the housing 10 includes a connected shell 11 and a flexible sleeve, wherein the shell 11 can be formed by metal through mechanical processing, or integrally formed by plastic material, and the shell 11 is a shell-shaped cavity structure, and the shell 11 is formed with a mounting groove. The material of the flexible sleeve (not shown) can be cloth, nylon or silicone, etc. The flexible sleeve is set in the notch of the mounting groove, and is enclosed with the shell 11 to form a mounting cavity 10a, and the mounting cavity 10a is used to install and place various components of the foot massager 100. And when the flexible sleeve is connected to the shell 11, under the shaping of the shell 11, the flexible sleeve forms a massage groove 10b for placing the foot, and the massage groove 10b is in an "L" shape as a whole, which is adapted to the shape of the human foot. The flexible sleeve is cut to form a through hole connecting the mounting cavity 10a and the massage groove 10b. By setting the flexible sleeve, the user's foot can be prevented from directly contacting the components therein during massage, while improving safety and comfort.

[0038] The massage assembly 20 includes a massage drive 21 and a massage plate 22. Specifically, the massage drive 21 includes a transmission motor, a transmission worm, a transmission gear, a transmission shaft and an eccentric block. The massage plate 22 includes two clamps. The transmission motor can be a servo motor or a stepper motor. The transmission motor is installed in the installation cavity 10a. The transmission worm is installed on its output shaft. The transmission gear is meshed with the transmission worm. The transmission shaft is connected to the transmission gear and extends in the massage groove 10b. The eccentric block is arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the transmission shaft. The middle part of the clamp is provided with a mounting hole that runs through its two opposite sides. The eccentric block is sleeved in the mounting hole to connect the two clamps with the transmission shaft. In actual application, the part of the foot to be massaged is placed between the two clamps. Under the drive of the transmission motor, the two clamps move according to a preset curve to achieve the effect of clamping and pressing the muscles. In the present application, the structure of the massage drive 21 is relatively simple, and a larger output torque can be obtained through the transmission mode of the transmission worm and the transmission gear, and the pressing massage effect is better.

[0039] It is understandable that the number and shape of the massage plates 22 can be specifically set according to actual needs. For example, in this embodiment, if the calf and sole parts need to be massaged at the same time, four splints and two massage driving members 21 can be correspondingly set, and one massage driving member 21 drives the two splints to move, thereby massaging the calf and sole parts at the same time. In other embodiments, if only the calf or sole parts need to be massaged, two splints and one massage driving member 21 can be correspondingly set. The number and shape of the massage plates 22 are not specifically limited here.

[0040] During the actual massage process of the foot massager 100 of the present application, the user's feet are placed in the massage groove 10b, and the massage drive 21 drives the massage plate 22 to move in the massage groove 10b to knead and massage the feet. During this process, the fan 32 introduces external air into the massage groove 10b, and the first heating plate 33 heats the introduced air, thereby increasing the temperature in the massage groove 10b. Due to the fluidity of the air, the temperature of each part in the massage groove 10b is relatively balanced, so that the foot can be evenly heated during the massage process, and the comfort and massage effect of the foot massage are better. At the same time, there is no need to arrange heating structures in various parts of the massage groove 10b. The temperature balance in the massage groove 10b can be achieved through the fluidity of the air. In this way, the overall structure of the foot massager 100 is simpler and convenient for production and manufacturing.

[0041] Please see again Figure 1 and Fig. 9In one embodiment of the present application, the massage groove 10b includes a first groove body 101b and a second groove body 102b which are spaced apart from each other. The first groove body 101b and the second groove body 102b are used to accommodate the left and right feet respectively, and the air supply channel 31a connects the first groove body 101b and the second groove body 102b. In the present application, the overall space of the first groove body 101b and the second groove body 102b which are spaced apart from each other is smaller. Therefore, in actual use, the temperature not only rises faster, but also has a better heat preservation effect, which can improve the user experience.

[0042] Furthermore, the fan 32 includes a driving motor 321 and a crossflow fan wheel 322, wherein the mounting seat 31 and the side wall of the mounting cavity 10a enclose an air inlet channel 31b, the housing 10 is provided with a plurality of air distribution holes 10c connected to the air inlet channel 31b, and the first heating plate 33 is covered between the air inlet channel 31b and the air supply channel 31a. In the present application, in the vertical direction, the mounting seat 31 is arranged in a "T" shape as a whole, so the flow trajectory of the air flow is also arranged in a "T" shape. By arranging the driving motor 321 and the crossflow fan wheel 322 in the air inlet channel 31b, the single fan 32 can achieve the effect of uniformly supplying air to the first trough body 101b and the second trough body 102b at the same time, so that the structure of the first heating component 30 and the foot massager 100 is simpler. At the same time, by setting up a plurality of air equalizing holes 10c, the air flow introduced into the air inlet channel 31b from the outside can be made more uniform. The air flow is heated by the first heating plate 33 and flows into the air supply channel 31a, and then flows to the first slot body 101b and the second slot body 102b respectively. In this way, the temperatures of the first slot body 101b and the second slot body 102b are more balanced, and the heating and massage effect is better.

[0043] Please see again Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the present application, the first heating assembly 30 includes a fixing hoop 34, which is sleeved on the outside of a portion of the flexible sleeve to press the flexible sleeve onto the surface of the mounting seat 31. The fixing hoop 34 is provided to facilitate the installation and connection of the flexible sleeve and the mounting seat 31, and has good air tightness, which can largely prevent hot air from flowing into the mounting cavity 10a and affecting the service life of the components therein.

[0044] Please see again Figure 2 and Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the foot massager 100 further includes a second heating component 40, which is installed on the bottom wall of the installation cavity 10a and corresponds to the sole of the foot.

[0045] Specifically, the second heating assembly 40 includes a support plate 41, a sole massage column 42 and a second heating plate (not shown), the support plate 41 is mounted on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 10a and connected to the housing 11, the sole massage column 42 is connected to the support plate 41 as an integral structure, the sole massage column 42 extends toward the massage groove 10b and corresponds to the sole of the foot, and the second heating plate is mounted on the support plate 41 to heat the sole massage column 42. During the actual massage process, the sole massage column 42 fits the sole of the foot, which can stimulate the acupuncture points on the sole of the foot to the greatest extent, thereby promoting blood circulation, so that the massage effect of the foot massager 100 is further improved.

[0046] It can be understood that the material of the first heating plate 33 and the second heating plate can be metal or ceramic. In the present embodiment, the material of the first heating plate 33 and the second heating plate is metal, for example, copper foil, aluminum foil, etc. The first heating plate 33 and the second heating plate are formed by a cutting process. In the present application, heat-conducting metal is used for heating, which can maximize the heating efficiency and reduce the production cost.

[0047] Furthermore, the second heating component 40 further includes a plurality of massage protrusions 43, wherein the plurality of massage protrusions 43 are hemispherical and are evenly spaced along the circumference of the sole massage column 42. In the present application, by providing a plurality of massage protrusions 43, the acupuncture points at the sole of the foot can be stimulated to the greatest extent during a single massage process, so that the massage effect of the foot massager 100 is further improved.

[0048] It can be understood that, in the present embodiment, the foot massager 100 includes a control board 50 and a temperature sensor 60, wherein the control board 50 includes a printed circuit board (PCB Printed Circuit Board) and a plurality of electronic components welded on its surface, the control board 50 is arranged in the installation cavity 10a, and is communicated and connected with the transmission motor, the fan 32, the first heating plate 33, the second heating plate and the temperature sensor 60 through the terminal connection line, and the temperature sensor 60 is arranged in the air supply channel 31a, for real-time sensing of the air supply temperature, and controlling the first heating plate 33 and the second heating plate to work according to user control or a preset temperature threshold.
