Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of massagers, in particular to a foot massager. Background Art
[0002] As the end of human body blood circulation, the feet are known as the "second heart" of the human body. Massaging foot acupoints can mobilize the internal potential of the human body and enhance the disease resistance of the body. Regular foot massage can improve the body's resistance and promote human health. At present, with the continuous development of massage devices, there have emerged foot massagers on the market that combine ankle and foot sole massage functions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] As Figures 1-7As shown in the figure, a foot massage device includes a base 1. A gear transmission assembly 2 is fixed to the inner bottom of the base 1. The power input end gear of the gear transmission assembly 2 is in meshing transmission with a driving motor 3. The driving motor 3 has two power output ends, and the gears at the two power output ends of the driving motor 3 are fixed to two eccentric shafts 4. The driving motor 3 can drive the two eccentric shafts 4 to rotate. The eccentric shaft 4 includes a vertical portion 41 and an inclined portion 42, and the included angle between the vertical portion 41 and the inclined portion 42 is 6°. One end of the vertical portion 41 away from the inclined portion 42 is fixed to the base 1 through a bearing. A decorative cover 6 is fixed to the base 1 by a buckle, which is used to prevent the gear transmission assembly 2, etc. from being exposed, improve the aesthetics of the device, and at the same time protect the gear transmission assembly 2 and the driving motor 3. A universal bearing 5 is fixed to the decorative cover 6 at the position corresponding to the eccentric shaft 4, and the universal bearing 5 is fitted and installed with one end of the vertical portion 41 close to the inclined portion 42. The upper end of the eccentric shaft 4 is fixed with a foot massage assembly 8. When the eccentric shaft 4 drives the foot massage assembly 8 to rotate and massage, the eccentric shaft 4 will tilt to a certain extent under force. In the patent with the application number CN202311579715.2, both ends of the vertical section of the eccentric shaft are fixed through ordinary ball bearings. After the eccentric shaft is stressed, the friction between the stop portion and the base bearing becomes larger, affecting the smooth rotation of the foot massage assembly. After replacing the base bearing with a universal bearing 5, the friction can be greatly reduced, facilitating the smooth rotation of the foot massage assembly 8. The foot massage assembly 8 includes a massage chamber 81. A bearing seat 83 is fixed to the middle of the lower surface of the massage chamber 81, and the bearing seat 83 is fitted and installed with one end of the inclined portion 42 close to the vertical portion 41. A transmission mechanism 84 in transmission connection with the eccentric shaft 4 is fixed to the inner bottom of the massage chamber 81. The transmission mechanism 84 includes a number of transmission gears meshing with each other in sequence. One of the transmission gears is fixed to the inclined portion 42 through a pin shaft, and the other transmission gears are fixed to the inner bottom of the massage chamber 81 through rotating shafts. The end of the rotating shaft inserted into the inner cavity of the massage chamber 81 is fixed with a sole massage head 85. An airbag 82 is fixed to the inner wall of the massage chamber 81. An air pump 9 and a solenoid valve 10 are fixed inside the base 1. The air outlet end of the air pump 9 is connected to the solenoid valve 10 through a trachea, and the solenoid valve 10 is connected to the airbag 82 through a trachea. The air pump 9 can inflate the airbag 82 to fix the foot with the airbag 82 to prevent the foot from moving during massage and affecting the massage effect. At the same time, in order to avoid the foot from being bumped, the solenoid valve 10 can control the flow direction of the gas, facilitating the control of the inflation and deflation processes. A human-computer interaction module 7 electrically connected to the driving motor 3, the air pump 9, and the solenoid valve 10 is fixed to the decorative cover 6. The human-computer interaction module 7 includes a circuit board and control buttons, which are used to issue instructions to control the operation of the massage program.
[0025] In this embodiment, an outer cover 11 is further included. The outer cover 11 covers the outside of the two foot massage assemblies 8, and the edge of the outer cover 11 is flush with the edge of the decorative cover 6, which is used for dust prevention when not in use.
[0026] In this embodiment, a limiting frame 61 is formed at a position on the upper surface of the decorative cover 6 close to the eccentric shaft 4, and a limiting protrusion 86 that can be inserted into the limiting frame 61 is formed on the lower surface of the massage chamber 81. When the massage chamber 81 swings along with the inclined portion 42, the positioning swing of the massage chamber 81 is realized through the limiting cooperation between the limiting protrusion 86 and the limiting frame 61, so that the massage chamber 81 can swing with a predetermined amplitude, further improving the comfort of the ankle swing massage.
[0027] In this embodiment, a limiting portion 43 is formed on the outer side of one end of the inclined portion 42 close to the vertical portion 41. When the limiting portion 43 is not close to the vertical portion 41, the limiting portion 43 does not contact the universal bearing 5 during the rotation of the eccentric shaft 4, which can avoid generating friction, but the force on the inclined portion 42 becomes larger. When the limiting portion 43 is designed to be close to the vertical portion 41, after installation, the limiting portion 43 contacts the universal bearing 5, and the universal bearing 5 can be used to share the force, extending the service life of the eccentric shaft 4. In this embodiment, the upper end of the vertical portion 41 is fixed by the universal bearing 5, so preferably, the limiting portion 43 is designed to contact the universal bearing 5. The vertical portion 41 and the gear transmission assembly 2 are fixed by a screw 44, and the screw 44 is convenient for assembly and disassembly.
[0028] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: When in use, the outer cover 11 is removed, the foot is placed in the massage chamber 81, and the sole of the foot is pressed against the sole massage head 85. The air pump 9 is controlled by the human-computer interaction module 7 to start inflating the airbag 82. After the airbag 82 is inflated, it fills the inner cavity of the massage chamber 81, thus pressing the sole of the foot against the sole massage head 85 to prevent the ankle and the sole of the foot from moving. Then, the drive motor 3 is started, and the drive motor 3 drives the two eccentric shafts 4 to rotate through the gear transmission assembly 2. When the eccentric shafts 4 rotate, the foot massage assembly can be driven to rotate with the vertical portion 41 as the rotation axis, driving the foot to swing, and at the same time, the sole massage head 85 can be driven to rotate with the inclined portion 42 as the rotation axis, and the sole massage head 85 is used to massage the sole of the foot.
[0029] The circuit connection involved in the present utility model is a common means adopted by those skilled in the art, and technical inspiration can be obtained through a limited number of experiments, belonging to the widely used prior art.
[0030] The components not described in detail herein are prior art.
[0031] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
