Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of massage equipment, in particular to a foot massager with an ankle stretching function. Background Art

[0002] The ankle is the part where the foot connects to the leg. It is also an important gateway for blood circulation in the lower body. It has a great impact on blood circulation throughout the body. If the ankle is soft and elastic, the returning venous blood can pass through the ankle smoothly. If the ankle is stiff and aging, it will easily cause blood congestion and affect the normal blood circulation. You can keep the ankle flexible and soft through regular massage and stretching.

[0003] A foot massager is generally rotatably connected to a leg massager, and an electric push rod is connected between the leg massager and the foot massager. The output shaft of the electric push rod is connected to the foot massager through a connecting rod mechanism. The electric push rod drives the foot massager to reciprocate relative to the leg massager to stretch the ankle. However, driving the foot massager to swing up and down by the electric push rod has the problem of occupying a large space. Specifically, when the electric push rod is fully extended, the foot massager will swing downward, thereby stretching and massaging the ankle; when the electric push rod is fully retracted, the foot massager will swing upward, thereby compressing and massaging the ankle; when the electric push rod is in a semi-extended position, the foot massager is in a flat position (non-swinging position). Therefore, when the foot massager is in a flat position, the electric push rod needs to be partially extended, resulting in the foot massager occupying a large space, so improvement is needed. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a foot massager with ankle stretching function includes a fixed frame 10, a base 20, a foot massage unit 40 and a driving unit 50. The base 20 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 10 through a connecting shaft 30. Specifically, both ends of the connecting shaft 30 are rotatably mounted on the base 20 through a first bearing; the foot massage unit 40 is mounted on the base 20 for massaging human feet. The foot massage unit 40 includes two groups of massage chambers for accommodating human feet, and the human body is massaged by the massage elements in the massage chambers; the driving unit 50 includes a motor 51 and a worm gear mechanism 52. The motor 51 is fixedly mounted on the fixed frame 10. The motor 51 is connected to the connecting shaft 30 through the worm gear mechanism 52. When the driving unit 50 is working, it can drive the base 20 and the foot massage unit 40 arranged on the base 20 to swing back and forth up and down with the connecting shaft 30 as the rotation axis.

[0031] When the motor 51 rotates forward, the worm gear mechanism 52 drives the connecting shaft 30 to rotate forward, thereby driving the base 20 and the foot massage unit 40 arranged on the base 20 to rotate upward, which is equivalent to the fixed frame 10, thereby performing a compression massage on the human foot; when the motor 51 rotates reversely, the worm gear mechanism 52 drives the connecting shaft 30 to rotate reversely, thereby driving the base 20 and the foot massage unit 40 arranged on the base 20 to rotate downward, which is equivalent to the fixed frame 10, thereby performing a stretching massage on the human foot.

[0032] The worm gear mechanism 52 includes a fixed housing 53, a transmission shaft 54, a primary transmission mechanism 55 and a secondary transmission mechanism 56. The fixed housing 53 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 10 by connecting sheet metal. The transmission shaft 54 ​​is rotatably installed in the fixed housing 53 by a second bearing. The motor 51 is connected to the connecting shaft 30 through the primary transmission mechanism 55. The secondary transmission mechanism 56 includes a first worm 561 fixedly set on the transmission shaft 54 ​​and a first worm wheel 562 fixedly set on the connecting shaft 30. The first worm wheel 562 is matched with the first worm 561. The matching of the first worm wheel 562 and the first worm 561 can achieve the purpose of power transmission and power reversing, thereby effectively improving space utilization and occupying less space.

[0033] The first embodiment of the two-stage transmission mechanism 56 includes a second worm 551 connected to the output end of the motor 51 and a second worm wheel 552 fixedly arranged on the transmission shaft 54, and the second worm 551 is in transmission cooperation with the second worm wheel 552. Furthermore, the transmission shaft 54 ​​extends in the front-to-back direction and is perpendicular to the connecting shaft 30, and the motor 51 extends in the vertical direction and is perpendicular to the transmission shaft 54. Through the above configuration, through the arrangement of the motor 51 and the worm gear mechanism 52, the space utilization rate can be effectively improved.

[0034] Another implementation of the secondary transmission mechanism 56 includes a first bevel gear connected to the output shaft of the motor 51 and a second bevel gear connected to the transmission shaft 54, and the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear are meshed for transmission.

[0035] The motor 51 is fixedly connected to the fixed housing 53, and the second worm 551 extends into the fixed housing 53 and is transmission-connected to the second worm gear 552. This arrangement facilitates the assembly of the motor 51 and the fixed housing 53. Specifically, during assembly, the motor 51 and the fixed housing 53 can be assembled first, and then the assembled motor 51 and the fixed housing 53 can be integrally assembled onto the fixed frame 10.

[0036] The connecting shaft 30 is provided with rollers 60 on both sides corresponding to the base 20 , respectively. The rollers 60 are provided to facilitate the transportation of the foot massager.

[0037] Vertically arranged guide columns 11 are provided on both sides of the fixed frame 10, and leg massage units 70 are slidably arranged on the guide columns 11. Guide rails 71 slidably matched with the guide columns 11 are provided on both sides of the leg massage unit 70. The guide rails 71 are formed by a frame, and the guide columns 11 are limited by the frame to prevent them from swinging left and right and front and back. An electric push rod 80 is connected between the fixed frame 10 and the leg massage unit 70, and the base 20 and the foot massage unit 40 are driven by the electric push rod 80 to move vertically, which is equivalent to the leg massage unit 70. Through this arrangement, the foot massager can be adapted to people with different leg lengths, so that the foot massager has a wider range of applications. The foot massager of the utility model can be used alone or integrated into a massage chair and used synchronously with the massage chair. When integrated into the massage chair, a connecting piece is provided on the back of the leg massage unit 70, and the foot massage unit 40 is connected to the massage chair body through the connecting piece.

[0038] The leg massage unit 70 and the fixed frame 10 are respectively provided with cross beams, and the cross beams are respectively provided with connecting frames 90. One end of the electric push rod 80 is hinged to the connecting frame 90 at the lower end, and the other end of the electric push rod 80 is hinged to the connecting frame 90 at the upper end. Since the electric push rod 80 is vertically retractable, it will not cause the electric push rod 80 to be compressed and bent.

[0039] The foot massager of the present invention adopts a motor 51 and a worm gear mechanism 52 to drive the base 20 and the foot massage unit 40 to swing back and forth equivalent to the fixed frame 10, thereby achieving stretching massage of the ankle. In addition, the motor 51 and the worm gear mechanism 52 are used in conjunction with a connecting rod mechanism compared to the electric push rod 80, which can effectively reduce the occupied space, improve the space utilization of the massager, and thus effectively reduce the overall volume of the massager.

[0040] The foot massager of the present invention can also fold and store the base 20 and the foot massage unit 40. Specifically, the motor 51 drives the worm gear mechanism 52 to rotate, thereby driving the base 20 and the foot massage unit 40 to rotate upward. At the same time, the electric push rod 80 extends and drives the base 20 and the foot massage unit 40 to move downward, thereby making room for the base 20 and the foot massage unit 40 to move in. Through this arrangement, the space occupied by the foot massager when not in use can be effectively reduced.

[0041] 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.
