Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of massagers, in particular to a foot massage machine. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, people pay more and more attention to the quality of life. Using a massager for massage in their spare time can not only relieve work fatigue but also be beneficial to physical health. The foot massage machine is one of the massagers. It is a high-tech health care device that can be used to massage the acupoints below the ankle of the human body, playing a role in promoting qi and blood and warming the zang-fu organs.

[0003] The existing foot massage machines can massage the acupoints on the soles of the feet and calves, but their internal structures are relatively complex. During the rotation of the massage heads, jamming is likely to occur, resulting in a poor user experience. Moreover, the massage heads can only massage the acupoints on a single side and cannot massage the surrounding muscles simultaneously. Users need to turn sideways or flip the foot massage machine after massaging one side for the next massage, and the massage efficiency is relatively low. Summary of the Utility Model

For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0023] In addition, in the present utility model, the descriptions such as "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes, and do not particularly refer to the order or sequence, nor are they used to limit the present utility model. They are only used to distinguish components or operations described with the same technical terms, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present utility model.

[0024] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the present utility model provides a foot massage machine, which includes a housing and a massage unit and a dual-axis motor 1 arranged in the housing. A control unit 2 is also arranged on the housing, and the control unit 2 is electrically connected to the dual-axis motor 1. Specifically, the dual-axis motor 1 is connected to the massage unit through an output shaft 3 and drives the massage unit to rotate. At least four airbag units for massage are also arranged on the housing.

[0025] Worms 4 are arranged at both ends of the output shaft 3, and the worms 4 are meshed with the massage unit and drive the massage unit to rotate.

[0026] The number of the massage units is at least four. The massage units are evenly arranged on the left and right sides of the biaxial motor 1, and the massage units on the same side are evenly arranged on the front and back sides of the worm 4.

[0027] The massage unit includes a driving wheel 5, a driven wheel 6, and a massage head 7 fixedly arranged on the driven wheel 6. The driving wheel 5 includes an upper wheel 51 and a lower wheel 52 which are coaxially superposed and fixedly connected; specifically, the outer edge of the lower wheel 52 is meshed and connected with the worm 4, the outer edge of the driven wheel 6 is meshed and connected with the outer edge of the upper wheel 51, and a connecting shaft 61 for fixedly installing the massage head 7 is arranged on the driven wheel 6.

[0028] Since the massage units on the same side of the biaxial motor 1 are evenly arranged on the front and back sides of the worm 4, the lower wheels 52 on the front and back sides are both meshed and connected with the worm 4. When the worm 4 rotates, it drives the lower wheels 52 on the front and back sides to rotate together. Therefore, the rotation directions of the lower wheels 52 on the front and back sides are opposite, making the rotation directions of the massage heads 7 on the front and back sides of the worm 4 opposite, and the massage has a more layered feeling.

[0029] The airbag unit includes an air pump 8 arranged in the housing and an air valve 15 for controlling the gas flow. The air pump 8 is communicated with the air valve 15. An airbag 9 communicated with the air valve 15 is arranged outside the housing. The gas outlet is communicated with the inside of the airbag 9 through a ventilation pipe 10. The air valve 15 controls the airbag 9 to be repeatedly inflated and deflated. The airbag 9 is arranged outside the housing, and both the air pump 8 and the air valve 15 are electrically connected to the control unit. The air pump 8 outputs gas, adjusts the gas flow direction through the air valve 15, and controls the working rhythm of the air pump 8 to realize repeated air outlet and air intake, so that the airbag 9 is repeatedly inflated and deflated, and the area of the airbag 9 becomes larger and smaller repeatedly, playing a role in massaging the muscles in contact with the airbag 9.

[0030] The housing includes an upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12. Specifically, two grooves 13 for fitting the human legs are arranged on the upper housing 11, and an opening 14 for the massage head 7 to extend out of the housing is arranged at the bottom of the groove 13.

[0031] The airbag units are respectively arranged on the inner walls on both sides of the groove 13; specifically, the airbags 9 are respectively arranged on the inner walls on both sides of the groove 13.

[0032] The control unit 2 is arranged on the top of the upper housing 11; specifically, the electrical connection between the control unit 2 and the massage unit and the air pump 8 is a common and easily conceivable technical means for those skilled in the art, so it will not be elaborated too much.

[0033] At least three massage protrusions are arranged on each massage head 7.

[0034] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: The user places their legs or feet respectively in the two grooves 13 of the upper housing 11, starts the machine, and the control unit 2 controls the dual-axis motor 1 and the air pump 8 to start operating. When the dual-axis motor 1 starts, the output shaft 3 begins to rotate, and the worm gears 4 at both ends of the output shaft 3 rotate synchronously with the output shaft 3. The worm gears 4 drive the lower wheels 52 meshed with the worm gears 4 to rotate synchronously. The lower wheels 52 drive the upper wheels 51 coaxially and fixedly connected thereto to rotate synchronously. The upper wheels 51 drive the driven wheels 6 meshed with the upper wheels 51 to rotate synchronously, and the driven wheels 6 drive the massage heads 7 to rotate. Since the massage heads 7 within the same groove 13 are respectively distributed on the front and rear sides of the worm gear 4, the rotation directions of the two massage heads 7 within the same groove 13 are opposite, improving the user's massage experience.

[0035] The air pump 8 starts to operate and outputs gas. The flow direction of the gas is adjusted through the air valve 15 and the working rhythm of the air pump 8 is controlled to achieve repeated air intake and exhaust. The gas enters or is sucked out of the interior of the airbag 9 through the air pipe 10, causing the airbag 9 to inflate and deflate repeatedly, and the area of the airbag 9 to become larger and smaller repeatedly. Since the airbags 9 are respectively arranged on the inner walls on both sides of the groove 13, when the user places their legs or feet in the groove 13, while the massage unit massages the legs or the soles of the feet, the muscles in contact with the airbags 9 around the legs or the soles of the feet can be massaged simultaneously through the airbag unit.

[0036] The air pump 8, the air valve 15, and the air pipe 10 are all connected through air pipes.

[0037] The advantages of the present utility model are as follows: While the massage unit massages the soles of the feet or the calves, the airbag unit simultaneously massages the surrounding muscles, improving the massage efficiency and the user's experience. Moreover, the worm gear 4 on the output shaft 3 of the motor drives the gear to rotate, making the rotation of the massage head 7 smooth and not prone to jamming.
