The movable hole 11 in this embodiment is preferably an oval hole, not limited to this shape, and can also be geometric shapes such as circular, rectangular, square, etc.

[0027] The second driving assembly 5 includes a second motor 51 fixed to the movable frame 4, and a driving gear 52 is provided on the output shaft of the second motor 51. An installation plate 12 is integrally provided or fixed inside the housing 1, and a movable groove 121 engaged with the driving gear 52 is provided on the installation plate 12. The driving gear 52 reciprocates along the length direction of the movable groove 121. Of course, it can also be another arrangement. The second motor 51 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the housing 1. A driving gear 52 is provided on the output shaft of the second motor 51, and the driving gear 52 corresponds to the position of the movable frame 4. A movable groove 121 engaged with the driving gear 52 is provided on the movable frame 4. The specific structure of the movable groove 121 is referred to below. Since the massage member 21 moves and is limited in the movable hole 11, the movable frame 4 can reciprocate horizontally (i.e., move on a horizontal plane without vertical movement).

[0028] A first guiding groove 122 is provided in the movable groove 121, and a first guiding rod 521 slidably engaged with the first guiding groove 122 is provided on the driving gear 52, so that the driving gear 52 reciprocates along this path. During this process, the driving gear 52 is always engaged with the inner wall of the movable groove 121.

[0029] The first movable groove 121 is waist-shaped, and a toothed track 1221 (i.e., teeth evenly distributed on the inner wall of the movable groove 121) engaged with the driving gear 52 is provided on the inner wall of the first movable groove 121. The first guiding groove 122 is preferably formed by a depression on the inner bottom wall of the movable groove 121. The toothed track 1221 is located above the first guiding groove 122. The first guiding groove 122 is runway-shaped. The first guiding rod 521 moves and is limited in the first guiding groove 122, and the driving gear 52 is always engaged with the toothed track 1221.

[0030] There are two movable holes 11, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the housing 1. At least one massage member 21 is provided on each side of the movable frame 4. Of course, two massage members 21 can also be arranged on one side. The two massage members 21 on one side are respectively limited in the corresponding movable holes 11 on one side. In this embodiment, the massage members 21 on both sides respectively correspond to the left foot and the right foot of the human body.

[0031] The massage member 21 includes a finger pressure member 211 that reciprocates in the vertical direction along the movable frame 4 and a transmission member 212 that is linked and cooperates with the finger pressure member 211. The first driving assembly 3 includes a first motor 31 for driving the transmission member 212 to rotate. A guiding track 2121 is provided on the outer wall of the transmission member 212, and the height of each point along its path of the guiding track 2121 gradually changes. A positioning pin 2111 for restricting its circumferential rotation is provided on the side wall of the finger pressure member 211. In this embodiment, preferably two positioning pins 2111 are provided and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the finger pressure member 211. One end of the positioning pin 2111 is slidably engaged with the side wall of the movable frame 4, and the other end of the positioning pin 2111 slides within the guiding track 2121. In this embodiment, a chute is directly provided along the vertical direction corresponding to the position of the massage member 21 on the side wall of the movable frame 4, or a movable block 41 is fixed within the movable frame 4, and a chute is indirectly provided on the movable block 41. One end of the positioning pin 2111 slides within the chute, and the other end of the positioning pin cooperates with the guiding track 2121. The transmission member rotates circumferentially while the finger pressure member reciprocates in the vertical direction. The path of the guiding track 2121 in this embodiment is a closed curve with changing high and low positions. It can be that one section of the path goes from high to low and the next section goes from low to high. Several groups can be set according to the actual situation, and finally a closed curve needs to be formed. Of course, it can also be a spiral curve. Just controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motor can drive the corresponding finger pressure member 211 to reciprocate.

[0032] The finger pressure member 211 is sleeved outside the transmission member 212, and the transmission member 212 rotates circumferentially relative to the finger pressure member 211. A driven gear 213 is provided at the lower end of the transmission member 212. The first motor 31 directly or indirectly drives the driven gear 213 to rotate. A second guiding rod 214 is provided on the lower end surface of the driven gear 213. The housing 1 is provided with a corresponding second guiding groove 123 at the position of the second guiding rod 214 corresponding to the driven gear 213. The second guiding groove 123 is in a runway shape. The first guiding groove 122 and the second guiding groove 123 have the same structure. In the present utility model, the driven gears 213 of multiple massage members 21 are meshed and driven with each other. By driving one of the driven gears 213 to rotate through the gear at the end of the first motor 31, the whole can be linked. Of course, it can also be the way of a chain meshing with the driven gear 213, or each driven gear 213 is driven by a separate motor. Additionally, the end of the finger pressure member 211 is preferably an arc surface or a spherical shape, or a flexible skin-friendly component is placed at its end. The finger pressure members 211 of each massage member 21 can be lifted and lowered simultaneously or out of sync, depending on the relative positions of the guiding track 2121 and the positioning pin 2111.

[0033] Working principle: When in use, align the sole of the foot with the massage member 21, start the second motor 51 to make the driving gear 52 reciprocate along the inner peripheral wall of the movable groove 121, which can control the transverse reciprocating movement of the movable frame 4 and drive the massage member 21 to reciprocate along the length direction of the movable hole 11. Each massage member 21 in the present utility model will reciprocate in the vertical direction when moving with the movable frame 4, thereby realizing finger-pressure massage. The combination of the two can realize finger-pressure massage of multiple acupoints on the sole of the foot, fully relieve foot fatigue, and has a good massage effect.
