[0036] The present invention will now be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are all simplified schematic diagrams, only illustrating the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, so they only show the components related to the present invention.

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] A massage mechanism, please refer to Figure 2-4 as shown, including: an airbag 100, a bracket 200, and a massage head 300;

[0039] A set of the airbag 100, the bracket 200, and the massage head 300 form a massage mechanism. Then, Figure 2 in a pneumatic foot massage machine, six sets of massage mechanisms are provided, and the airbags 100 in the six sets of massage mechanisms are all connected to the same air charging and discharging assembly 700 to achieve the purpose of synchronous operation of the six sets of massage mechanisms;

[0040] Of course, the number of massage mechanisms on the pneumatic foot massage machine can be changed, and only one set of massage mechanism is taken as an example for illustration in this embodiment.

[0041] As Figure 3 shown, the bracket 200 is installed on the top of the airbag 100, and the massage head 300 is installed on the bracket 200; the airbag 100 is in the shape of a bellows. Then, when the airbag 100 is inflated, it expands vertically and pushes the bracket 200 to rise; when the airbag 100 is deflated, it compresses vertically and drives the bracket 200 to descend;

[0042] As Figure 4 shown, the massage head 300 and the bracket 200 are sleeved and assembled with each other. Between the massage head 300 and the bracket 200, one of them is provided with a guiding groove, and the other is provided with a limiting portion that is snapped into the guiding groove. When the bracket 200 is driven by the airbag 100 to move up and down, the massage head 300 is driven to rotate forward and backward.

[0043] Furthermore, the bracket 200 includes: a lower bracket 210 and an upper bracket 220;

[0044] The lower bracket 210 includes: a mounting plate 211 and at least one mounting sleeve 212 arranged perpendicular to the mounting plate 211. Each mounting sleeve 212 is inserted with an upper bracket 220. The upper bracket 220 is inserted into the mounting sleeve 212 for limiting. The upper bracket 220 moves up and down following the lower bracket 210, and the guiding groove 221 is formed on the side surface of the upper bracket 220.

[0045] As Figure 3-4 shown, the mounting plate 211 is arranged as a flat plate, and the top of the mounting airbag 100 can be limited by gluing; or specifically in application, as Figure 2 shown, a sleeve body 411 for mounting the airbag 100 and the mounting plate 211 is formed inside the base 400 of the pneumatic foot massager. The cross-sectional shape of the mounting plate 211 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the inner cavity of the sleeve body. When the airbag 100 expands, the mounting plate 211 rises conformingly in the sleeve body 411;

[0046] The cross-sectional size of the mounting plate 211 and the cross-sectional size of the airbag 100 can be the same, so that the airbag 100 can better push the mounting plate 211 to move.

[0047] The mounting sleeve 212 is integrally formed with the mounting plate 211. The mounting sleeve 212 is perpendicular to the mounting plate 211, and a columnar mounting cavity is formed inside the mounting sleeve 212. The upper bracket 220 is inserted into the mounting cavity for stable assembly; and the upper bracket 220 also forms a columnar mounting cavity.

[0048] The number of the mounting sleeves 212 is the same as the number of the massage heads 300. In this embodiment, three massage heads 300 are assembled on one bracket 200. In other embodiments, the number of the massage heads 300 assembled on one bracket 200 can be changed.

[0049] Furthermore, the massage head 300 has a head 310 and an insertion post 320 inserted into the upper bracket 220. The limiting portion 330 is radially protruded on the insertion post 320; the limiting portion 330 is snapped into the guiding groove 221.

[0050] During assembly, the insertion post 320 of the massage head 300 is inserted into the installation cavity of the upper bracket 220, and the limiting portion 330 of the massage head 300 is conformally snapped into the guide groove 221; while the head 310 of the massage head 300 extends outside the upper bracket 220;

[0051] Further, the guide groove 221 is helically arranged or inclined, but the guide groove 221 does not penetrate the upper and lower sides of the upper bracket 220; the surface of the massage head 300 is provided with massage teeth for better massaging of the soles of the feet; the shape of the massage teeth can be Figure 3 the star-shaped rib shown, or other common shapes, such as dot-shaped protrusions, etc.

[0052] Further, as Figure 4 shown, the massage head 300 is provided with slots 340 on both sides corresponding to the limiting portion 330; through the slots 340, the insertion post 320 of the massage head 300 can be locally deformed;

[0053] The outer diameter of the insertion post 320 matches the inner diameter of the installation cavity of the upper bracket 220. During installation, the position of the limiting portion 330 provided on the insertion post 320 deforms and deforms inward until the limiting portion 330 corresponds to the guide groove 221, and then under the action of the restoring force of the deformation, the limiting portion 330 snaps into the guide groove 221. In this way, it is convenient to disassemble and assemble the massage head 300, and it is convenient to remove the massage head 300 for cleaning or replace and repair it separately after damage, saving maintenance costs.

[0054] As Figure 3 shown, Figure 3 in the figure, the airbag 100 is not inflated. At this time, the massage head 300 protrudes upward from the upper bracket 220. At this time, the limiting portion 330 of the massage head 300 is located at the top of the guide groove 221;

[0055] When the airbag 100 is inflated, the bracket 200 is pushed upward, and the massage head 300 does not move upward accordingly. Instead, under the cooperation of the limiting portion 330 and the guide groove 221, the guide groove 221 moves along the guide groove 221, driving the massage head 300 to rotate forward; when the bracket 200 rises to the highest position, the limiting portion 330 of the massage head 300 is located at the bottom of the guide groove 221;

[0056] When the airbag 100 deflates, the bracket 200 moves downward, and the massage head 300 does not move downward accordingly. Instead, under the cooperation of the limiting portion 330 and the guide groove 221, the guide groove 221 moves along the guide groove 221, driving the massage head 300 to rotate in the reverse direction; when the bracket 200 descends to the lowest position, the limiting portion 330 of the massage head 300 is located at the top of the guide groove 221;

[0057] In this way, during the continuous inflation and deflation of the airbag 100, the massage head 300 is driven to rotate forward and backward.

[0058] Further, the air charging and discharging assembly 700 may be an air pump with air charging and discharging function, and the air pump is connected to multiple groups of massage mechanisms through a multi-way valve.
