Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of massage equipment, and in particular relates to a foot massage device for diabetic patients. Background Art

[0002] Diabetes is a growing global health problem. Diabetic foot disease is a condition in the feet of diabetics caused by long-term high blood sugar levels. It involves neuropathy and vascular disease, which make the feet extremely sensitive and vulnerable to injury. If minor wounds are ignored, they can lead to serious infections and ulcers, and may even develop into gangrene, posing a risk of amputation. Therefore, diabetics not only need to strictly control their blood sugar levels but also take good care of their feet daily, including keeping them clean, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, checking their feet regularly, choosing appropriate footwear and socks, avoiding walking barefoot, and seeking regular medical checkups.

[0003] Foot massage is a very beneficial treatment for diabetic patients. It not only promotes blood circulation in the feet and prevents complications caused by poor circulation, but also effectively relieves symptoms such as numbness and pain in the feet caused by diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Furthermore, acupressure massage can stimulate the meridians in the feet, improving the nutritional status of the nervous system and thus improving metabolic disorders. Notably, acupressure care has been shown to effectively lower blood sugar levels in patients with diabetic foot. It can also accelerate the healing of wounds such as foot ulcers by improving blood circulation and neurotrophy. Regular foot massage can not only reduce fatigue and improve sleep quality, but also enhance patients' overall quality of life. In addition to its physical benefits, massage can also provide psychological relief and relaxation, helping to alleviate the psychological stress caused by the disease. Utility Model Content

[0024] The utility model discloses a foot massage device for diabetic patients, comprising: a main box 1, a slide rail seat 4, a massage block 6, a sliding mechanism connecting rod 10, a sliding mechanism disc 7, a sliding mechanism slider 8, a sliding mechanism bolt 9, a massage block base 5, a tensioning mechanism connecting rod I 11, a tensioning mechanism connecting rod II 12, a spring 13, an instep pad 14, and a driving module 15; the instep pad 14 is installed in the middle of the upper part of the main box 1, and the internal components of the main box 1 are symmetrical on the left and right sides, respectively fixing the slide rail seat 4, a massage block base 5 is slidably fitted above the slide rail seat 4, and the massage block 6 is connected to the massage block base 5 through the tensioning mechanism connecting rod I 11 and the tensioning mechanism connecting rod II 12.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] In this embodiment, two cylindrical slide rails are installed on the slide rail seat 4, and the other top end of the slide rail seat 4 is a rotating shaft seat. The massage block base 5 is a rectangular flat plate with a pair of straight slot guide rails at one end of the upper part of the flat plate and a pair of rotating shaft seats at the other end. There are four circular guide rail holes on the massage block base 5, and the four circular guide rail holes pass through the two cylindrical slide rails on the slide rail seat 4, so that the massage block base 5 is slidably installed on the slide rail seat 4.

[0027] Example 3

[0028] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the center of the sliding mechanism disc 7 has an axis that can rotate with the rotating shaft seat at the top of the slide rail seat 4. The sliding mechanism disc 7 has a straight slot, and the inside of the straight slot has regularly arranged threaded holes. The central axis of the sliding mechanism disc 7 is connected to the motor shaft in the driving module; the center of the sliding mechanism slider 8 has a through hole, and its shape can slide in the straight slot on the sliding mechanism disc 7. The sliding mechanism connecting rod 10 has holes at both ends, and the sliding mechanism bolt 9 connects the sliding mechanism connecting rod 10 and the sliding mechanism slider 8 to any threaded hole on the straight slot of the sliding mechanism disc 7. The sliding mechanism connecting rod 10 can rotate relative to the sliding mechanism disc 7 and the sliding mechanism slider 8. The sliding mechanism disc 7, the sliding mechanism connecting rod 10, the sliding mechanism bolt 9, the sliding mechanism slider 8, the slide rail seat 4, and the massage block base 5 are combined into a crank slider mechanism. When the motor drives the sliding mechanism disc 7 to rotate, the massage block base 5 can move back and forth along the slide rail seat 4 through the linkage of the sliding mechanism connecting rod 10. By adjusting the sliding mechanism bolt 9, the sliding mechanism guide rail 4 and the sliding mechanism slider 8 can be adjusted to different threaded holes on the sliding mechanism disc 7. In this way, the stroke of the crank slider mechanism can be changed, and the range of back and forth movement of the massage seat 5 can be increased or reduced. The range of movement of the massage block can be changed according to the different needs of users, such as the size of the foot or the parts that need to be avoided.

[0029] Example 4

[0030] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the tensioning mechanism connecting rod Ⅰ11 has holes at both ends, one end is rotatably matched with the rotating shaft seat on the massage block base 5, and the other end is rotatably matched with the massage block 6.

Figure 4 As shown, the spring 13 is connected between the tensioning mechanism link I 11 and the tensioning mechanism link II 12. The spring 13 tightens the tensioning mechanism link I 11 and the tensioning mechanism link II 12, thereby raising the massage block 6. This ensures that the massage block can always fit the user's foot, avoiding inadequate massage caused by factors such as different arch shapes or foot sizes.

[0031] Example 5

[0032] In this embodiment, the massage block 6 is a cylindrical structure with shafts at both ends. The cylindrical surface is provided with hemispherical massage structures of varying sizes. The upper portion of the main housing 1 has two slots for foot placement. The heel contact portion is a soft-packed structure, while the sole contact portion is an elastic fabric structure. The lower end of the elastic fabric contains the massage block 6, which massages the sole of the user's foot through the elastic fabric. The front end of the main housing has a display screen and buttons that display and adjust the massage time. The front end of the main housing houses a drive module containing a motor, whose shaft delivers power to the sliding mechanism disc. The instep pad 14 is a soft-packed structure that is normally fixedly mounted in the middle of the main housing 1. It can be removed when the foot space within the main housing 1 needs to be cleaned and disinfected.

[0033] Example 6

[0034] The utility model discloses a foot massage device for diabetic patients, and the specific working principle and process are as follows:

[0035] The user first places their foot into the slot on the top of the main housing 1, as if putting on a shoe. The upper instep is supported by the instep pad 14, and the sole of the foot contacts the elastic cloth. The lower end of the elastic cloth is the massage block 6, which is pulled upward against the sole of the foot by a tensioning mechanism. At this time, the device is activated by pressing a button on the top of the main housing 1. The motor in the drive module 15 begins to rotate, and the sliding mechanism drives the massage block back and forth. During the reciprocating movement of the massage block, the tensioning mechanism can always ensure that the massage block is in close contact with the sole of the foot, whether it is the heel area, the arch area, or the front area. If the user is not satisfied with the massage range, they can adjust it by sliding the slider and bolts of the mechanism. Moving the slider toward the edge of the disc will increase the range of motion of the massage block, while moving the slider toward the center of the disc will reduce the range of motion of the massage block. The user can also set the massage time by pressing the buttons and screen on the main housing.

[0036] In summary, the present invention designs a foot massage device for diabetic patients, which can fit various parts of the user's foot to massage. In addition, the massage block stroke can be changed through an adjustable mechanism, and personalized adjustments can be made according to customer needs.

[0037] The preferred embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are only used to help illustrate the present invention. The preferred embodiments do not describe all details in detail, nor do they limit the present invention to only the specific implementation methods described.
