[0025] Example

[0026] The massage head for traditional Chinese medicine massage described in this embodiment is as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a mounting cover 1, a connector is fixed at the center of the top of the mounting cover 1, and a plurality of massage balls 3 are arranged in the mounting cover 1. Each massage ball 3 is connected to the inner top of the mounting cover 1 by a telescopic rod 5. The telescopic rod 5 is independently provided with a spring 6. The spring 6 is located between the massage ball 3 and the inner top of the mounting cover 1; when the spring 6 is in a natural state, the lowest point of the surface of the massage ball 3 is lower than the height of the cover opening of the mounting cover 1; and a limit member is provided in the mounting cover 1 corresponding to each massage ball 3, which only limits the upward and downward movement of the massage ball 3.

[0027] The mounting cover 1 is a circular structure, and the connector includes a connecting column 7, which is fixed at the center of the top of the mounting cover 1. The connecting column 7 is provided with an external thread for connecting with an object; when installing, the connecting column 7 is connected to the object, where the object refers to the massage robot, which is a prior art, such as Figure 5 As shown, for example, the invention patent named "Traditional Chinese Medicine Massage Robot and Fully Automatic Massage Method", patent number: 202010444701.X, includes a robot frame, said robot frame has two ends, one of which is a fixed end for fixed connection to a fixed seat, and the other end is used to connect an operating function module, said operating function module being a massage function module. The massage function module in this technology is equivalent to the massage head of this technology. When in use, the massage head is connected to one end of the massage robot operating function module, and the massage robot drives the massage head to vibrate and move to massage the human body;

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, there are 7 massage balls 3 in the mounting cover 1, one of which is located at the center of the mounting cover 1, and the other 6 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the mounting cover 1;

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the limiting member includes a limiting plate 2, and a limiting hole communicating with each other up and down is opened on the limiting plate 2 corresponding to each massage ball 3, and the telescopic rod 5 and the spring 6 are both located in the limiting hole; the limiting plate 2 is fixed in the mounting cover 1, and its side wall is connected to the inner wall of the mounting cover 1; the spring 6 is in a natural state, and the lowest point of the surface of the massage ball 3 is located below the limiting hole; the massage ball 3 and the lower end of the telescopic rod 5 are connected through the ball head seat 4, the massage ball 3 is located in the ball head seat 4 and can roll freely, the lower end of the telescopic rod 5 is fixed at the center of the outer surface of the ball head seat 4, and the lower end of the spring 6 is against or connected to the outer surface of the ball head seat 4; the ball head seat 4 is a bowl-shaped structure with an opening downward, the opening diameter of the ball head seat 4 is smaller than the diameter of the massage ball 3, and the surface of the massage ball 3 fits in with the inner surface of the ball head seat 4; the maximum diameter of the ball head seat 4 is smaller than the aperture of the limiting hole When in use, the telescopic rod 5 is retracted, and the ball head seat 4 moves up and down with the massage ball 3 in the limiting hole to prevent it from deviating and causing the telescopic rod 5 to bend or break; corresponding to the 7 massage balls 3, there are also 7 limiting holes on the limiting plate 2; when installing, the two ends of the spring 6 are respectively connected to the inner bottom of the mounting cover 1 and the outer surface of the ball head seat 4; the opening diameter of the ball head seat 4 is smaller than the diameter of the massage ball 3 to prevent the massage ball 3 from falling from the ball head seat 4. During installation, the massage ball 3 is installed in the ball head seat 4 using a process of thermal expansion and contraction; the maximum diameter of the ball head seat 4 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the limiting hole, and when the ball head seat 4 moves in the limiting hole, its outer surface fits with the inner wall of the hole, which has good stability; the massage ball 3 is made of wooden material, which is relatively light and has a tough feel. It has an obvious feel during massage and is suitable for deep massage;

[0030] The telescopic rod 5 includes a movable sleeve, in which a movable rod is independently installed. The upper end of the movable rod is fixed to the inner top of the mounting cover 1, and the lower end of the movable sleeve is fixed to the center of the outer surface of the ball head seat 4. The telescopic stroke of the telescopic rod 5 is 1.5 cm to 2 cm. The lowest point of the surface of the massage ball 3 is 1.5 cm to 2 cm below the limit hole. In other words, the range of vertical movement of the massage ball 3 is between 1.5 cm and 2 cm. If the range of movement of the massage ball 3 is less than 1.5 cm, the massage head will have a poor massage effect on both high and low parts of the human body. If it is greater than 2 cm, it exceeds practical necessity. Therefore, the vertical movement range of the massage ball 3 can be 1.5 cm, 1.7 cm, 2 cm, or any value between 1.5 cm and 2 cm.

[0031] In actual use, taking the patient's back as an example, when the massage robot drives the massage head to move back and forth on the human body's back, there are some uneven places on the shoulder blades and spine of the human body. When the massage head moves to this place, under the action of the telescopic rod 5 and the spring 6, each massage ball 3 is always in contact with the human body to achieve a better massage effect; during the massage process, the massage ball 3 can roll freely in the ball head seat 4, which can increase the comfort of the massage to a certain extent; in addition, the massage head can be directly driven manually to move around the human body, which can also achieve a certain degree of massage effect and save manual physical exertion.
