[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 8 The utility model provides a foot massager 100.

[0036] In the embodiment of the utility model, the foot massager 100 includes: a housing 10, the housing 10 is formed with a mounting cavity 10a and a massage groove 10b; a massage component 20, the massage component 20 includes a massage drive 21 and a massage plate 22 connected to the massage drive 21, the massage drive 21 is installed in the mounting cavity 10a, the massage plate 22 at least partially extends into the massage groove 10b, and is used to massage the foot; a beating component 30 is installed in the mounting cavity 10a, the beating component 30 is partially located in the massage groove 10b, and corresponds to the massage plate 22.

[0037] In this embodiment, the housing 10 includes a connected housing 11, a flexible sleeve (not shown in the figure), and a support rod 12. Among them, the housing 11 can be formed by machining a metal or integrally formed by a plastic material. The housing 11 is a shell-shaped cavity structure. The housing 11 is formed with a mounting groove, and both sides thereof are provided with handle positions 111 to facilitate the user to carry and transport. The material of the flexible sleeve can be fabric, nylon, silicone, etc. The flexible sleeve is sleeved on the notch of the mounting groove and encloses with the housing 11 to form a mounting cavity 10a for mounting and placing various components of the foot massager 100. After the flexible sleeve is connected to the housing 11, under the support and shaping of the housing 11, the flexible sleeve forms two massage grooves 10b for placing the feet. The overall shape of the massage groove 10b is "L", which is adapted to the shape of the human foot. By providing the flexible sleeve, it can be avoided that the user's feet directly contact the components in the mounting cavity 10a during massage, improving safety while providing better comfort.

[0038] A storage groove (not shown in the figure) is formed at the bottom of the housing 11. The groove side wall of the storage groove is provided with a mounting shaft hole. Both ends of the support rod 12 are rotatably sleeved in the mounting shaft hole. Under the action of an external force, the support rod 12 can rotate relative to the housing 11, extending out of or hidden in the storage groove. In actual use, one end of the support rod 12 can abut against other placement planes such as the ground or a tabletop, so that the housing 11 forms a certain angle with the placement plane to better adapt to the user's different postures for foot massage, making the use experience of the foot massager 100 better.

[0039] The foot massager 100 further includes a control board 80 and a button 90. Among them, the control board 80 includes a printed circuit board (PCB) and a plurality of electronic components soldered on its surface. The control board 80 is fixed in the mounting cavity 10a by screws. The button 90 is installed on the surface of the housing 11 and is communicatively connected to the control board 80 through a terminal connection wire. The control board 80 is also communicatively connected to the massage component 20 and the pounding component 30 through a terminal connection wire. By providing the button 90 and the control board 80 communicatively connected thereto, it is convenient for the user to control the massage component 20 and the pounding component 30 to achieve different massage methods.

[0040] Of course, in some other embodiments, the control board 80 can also be communicatively connected to a wireless terminal, such as a mobile phone, a tablet, etc., through wireless modules such as Bluetooth, WIFI, 5G signals, etc. In this way, wireless control of the massage component 20 and the pounding component 30 can be achieved, and the user's use experience is better.

[0041] While this application can achieve the function of massaging the feet, by arranging a hammering component 30 in the massage groove 10b, it can achieve more diverse massage functions. In specific applications, the hammering component 30 can strike the feet alone or cooperate with the massage component 20 to act on the feet simultaneously. In this way, the massage method of the foot massager 100 is more diverse, can better meet the needs of different massage groups and scenarios, and has better massage effects and experiences.

[0042] Please refer to again Figure 6 , it should be noted that in this utility model, the massage plate 22 includes four foot sole massage splints 221 and four calf massage splints 222, and the massage driving member 21 includes a third driving motor 211, four foot sole eccentric blocks 212, a fourth driving motor 213, and four calf eccentric blocks 214. Specifically, the massage driving member 21 further includes two linkage members (not shown in the figure). The linkage member includes a transmission worm, a transmission gear, and a transmission shaft. The third driving motor 211 and the fourth driving motor 213 can be servo motors or stepper motors. The third driving motor 211 and the fourth driving motor 213 are arranged at intervals in the installation cavity 10a and are respectively connected to the two linkage members. For example, after installing and fixing the third driving motor 211, 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 four foot sole eccentric blocks 212 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the transmission shaft. A mounting hole penetrating through its opposite two sides is formed in the middle of the foot sole massage splint 221, and the foot sole eccentric block 212 is sleeved in the mounting hole to connect the four foot sole eccentric blocks 212 to the transmission shaft. The installation method of the fourth driving motor 213 with the four calf eccentric blocks 214 and the four calf massage splints 222 can refer to that of the third driving motor 211, and will not be elaborated in detail here.

[0043] In actual applications, the part of the foot to be massaged is placed between two adjacent foot sole massage splints 221 or two calf massage splints 222. Driven by the third driving motor 211 or the fourth driving motor 213, the two foot sole massage splints 221 or the two calf massage splints 222 move according to a preset curve to achieve the effect of clamping and pressing the foot muscles. In this application, the structure of the massage component 20 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 and massaging effect is better.

[0044] It is understandable that the number and shape of the sole massage splint 221 and the calf massage splint 222 can be specifically set according to actual needs. For example, in this embodiment, if the calf and sole parts need to be massaged, four sole massage splints 221 and four calf massage splints 222 can be set accordingly, and then the calf and sole parts can be massaged at the same time. In other embodiments, if only the calf or sole parts need to be massaged, only four sole massage splints 221 or four calf massage splints 222 can be set accordingly. Therefore, the number and shape of the sole massage splint 221 and the calf massage splint 222 are not specifically limited.

[0045] Please see again Figure 2 and Figure 7 , in one embodiment of the utility model, the beating assembly 30 includes a first drive motor 31, an eccentric rotor 32 and a beating convex head 33. Among them, the first drive motor 31 is fixedly installed on the cavity side wall of the installation cavity 10a by means of fixing structures such as screws and buckles, the eccentric rotor 32 is transmission-connected to the output shaft of the first drive motor 31, and the beating convex head 33 can be made of elastic silicone rubber material and connected to the first drive motor 31 through a mounting bracket. In actual application, the first drive motor 31 drives the eccentric rotor 32 to rotate, so that the beating convex head 33 generates mechanical vibration, and then beats and massages the corresponding part of the foot to which it fits. The present application drives the eccentric rotor 32 to generate vibration by the drive motor, and its structure is simple, and a higher frequency vibration effect can be obtained, so that the effect of massaging the foot is better.

[0046] It can be understood that the beating assembly 30 can also adopt other beating structures. For example, in other embodiments, the output shaft of the first drive motor 31 of the beating assembly 30 is connected to a cam, and the surface of the cam is convexly provided with an eccentric connecting shaft. The beating convex head 33 is slidably connected to the side wall of the installation cavity 10a, and is provided with an eccentric connecting hole. The eccentric connecting hole is sleeved on the outside of the eccentric connecting shaft. Under the drive of the first drive motor 31, the beating convex head 33 performs reciprocating linear motion relative to the housing 11 to beat the foot muscles. The implementation method of the beating assembly 30 is not specifically limited here, as long as it can achieve the beating and massaging effect on the foot muscles.

[0047] Further, the first drive motor 31 has two output shafts arranged at intervals, that is, the first drive motor 31 is a dual-axis motor. The hammering assembly 30 includes two eccentric rotors 32 and two hammering protrusions 33. In actual installation, one eccentric rotor 32 is drivingly connected to one output shaft, that is, the two eccentric rotors 32 are symmetrically arranged, and one hammering protrusion 33 corresponds to one eccentric rotor 32. In this application, the first drive motor 31 has two output shafts, so that more hammering protrusions 33 can be arranged in a limited space, that is, the space utilization rate of the hammering assembly 30 is higher. At the same time, the two eccentric rotors 32 can generate a larger amplitude, and thus the hammering massage effect can be further improved.

[0048] Please refer to again Figure 2 , generally speaking, the muscle groups in the calf part are relatively developed. After exercise, the feeling of soreness is the most obvious. Therefore, in order to further improve the practicability and massage effect of this application. In an embodiment of this application, the massage plate 22 forms a calf massage area 22a in the massage groove 10b, that is, the area formed by two adjacent calf massage splints 222 in the vertical direction. When massaging the feet, the calves are located in this calf massage area 22a. By arranging the hammering protrusions 33 in the calf massage area 22a, this application can massage the feet more pertinently, making the massage effect of the foot massager 100 better.

[0049] Of course, it can be understood that the hammering protrusions 33 can also be set according to actual needs. For example, when targeting users with massage needs at some Achilles tendon positions or knee positions, the positions of the hammering protrusions 33 can be appropriately adjusted downward or upward to better adapt to actual usage needs. Or, set more hammering protrusions 33 to comprehensively massage and hammer the calf part or the sole part, so as to improve the overall massage effect. The number and setting positions of the hammering protrusions 33 are not specifically limited here.

[0050] Please refer to again Figure 2 and Figure 5 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the foot massager 100 includes a heel support plate 40. Among them, the heel support plate 40 is connected to the housing 10 and is located at the bottom wall of the massage groove 10b. The plate surface of the heel support plate 40 is convexly provided with a plurality of first massage protrusions 42 by an injection molding process. The first massage protrusions 42 are hemispherical and are evenly spaced along the plate surface of the support plate. In this application, by providing the support plate and the plurality of first massage protrusions 42, not only can the user's heel be supported during the massage process, but also the hemispherical first massage protrusions 42 can stimulate the acupoints at the heel position to the greatest extent during a single massage, so that the massage effect of the foot massager 100 is better.

[0051] Further, the heel support plate 40 includes a plate body 41 and a vibration motor (not shown in the figure). The vibration motor is installed in the installation cavity 10a and is connected to the control board 80 through a terminal connection wire. The plate body 41 is drivingly connected to the vibration motor and is located in the massage groove 10b. The first massage protrusions 42 are formed on the plate surface of the plate body 41. In practical applications, the vibration motor can be turned on or off according to the needs of the user. The vibration motor drives the plate body 41 to vibrate, thereby further improving the stimulation effect of the first massage protrusions 42 on the heel acupoints on its surface.

[0052] Please refer to again Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the foot massager 100 further includes a massage cam 50. The massage plate 22 forms a sole massage area 22b in the massage groove 10b. The massage cam 50 is installed in the sole massage area 22b and can rotate relative to the massage plate 22. Specifically, the massage cam 50 includes a second driving motor (not shown in the figure) and a wheel body (not shown in the figure). The second driving motor is installed in the installation cavity 10a, and the wheel body is sleeved on the output shaft of the second driving motor. A plurality of second massage protrusions are convexly provided on the surface of the wheel body. When the wheel body rotates, the plurality of second massage protrusions roll on the sole part, further stimulating the acupoints on the sole of the foot and making the massage effect of the foot massager 100 better.

[0053] Please refer to again in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the foot massager 100 further includes a heating component 60. Among them, the heating component 60 includes a mounting seat 61, a blower 62, and a heating sheet 63. The mounting seat 61 is installed in the installation cavity 10a and forms an air supply channel 61a communicating with the massage groove 10b and an air inlet channel 61b communicating with a plurality of air equalizing holes (not shown in the figure) on the housing 10. The blower 62 includes a fifth driving motor 621 and a cross-flow impeller 622. The fifth driving motor 621 is installed on the mounting seat 61, and the cross-flow impeller 622 is drivingly connected to the output shaft of the fifth driving motor 621. The heating sheet 63 is made of a heat-conducting metal such as copper foil and aluminum foil and is connected to the control board 80 through a terminal connection wire. The heating sheet 63 is disposed between the air supply channel 61a and the air inlet channel 61b for heating the air entering the air supply channel 61a.

[0054] During the actual massage process, the user's feet are placed in the massage groove 10b. The massage component 20 and the pounding component 30 cooperate to knead and massage the feet. During this process, the fifth drive motor 621 drives the cross-flow air wheel 622 to introduce external air into the air inlet channel 61b through the air equalizing holes, and after being heated by the heating sheet 63, it is sent into the air supply channel 61a, and finally sent into the massage groove 10b connected to the air supply channel 61a, 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. In this way, the feet can be evenly heated during the massage process, and the comfort and massage effect of foot massage are better.

[0055] Furthermore, the heating component 60 further includes a sole heating protrusion 64, which is installed on the bottom wall of the installation cavity 10a and corresponds to the sole of the foot. The sole heating protrusion 64 can be made of heat-conducting metal and is connected to the control board 80 through a terminal connection wire. During the actual massage process, the sole heating protrusion 64 fits against the sole of the foot, and the acupoints on the sole of the foot can be maximally stimulated through heating, promoting blood circulation. In this way, the massage effect of the foot massager 100 is further improved.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present utility model, a front sole support plate 70 is further provided on the bottom wall of the installation cavity 10a. The front sole support plate 70 is used to support the front sole of the foot after the foot is placed in the massage groove 10b, so as to keep the placement of the foot stable, thereby improving the comfort of the foot massager 100.

[0057] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model under the inventive concept of the present utility model, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
