DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0051] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0052] Referring to the accompanying drawings, a track structure capable of achieving flat-angle reverse backrest includes an upper track 1 and a lower track 2. Specifically, the upper track 1 includes an upper rack 11, and the lower track 2 includes a lower rack 21. The upper rack 11 and the lower rack 21 are staggered and intersecting. The purpose of the intersecting design of the upper rack 11 and the lower rack 21 is to support and enable the travel of the massage movement's travel gear when it moves to the transition section between the upper rack 11 and the lower rack 21.
[0053] More specifically, the upper rack 11 is coupled to an upper connecting member 12 at its vertical end, which is located along the rack direction. A connecting gear 13 is mounted on this upper connecting member 12. The lower rack 21 is coupled to a lower connecting member 22 at its vertical end, which is located along the rack direction. A connecting rack 23 is mounted on this lower connecting member 22. The connecting gear 13 is coupled to the connecting rack 23. Of course, the structural design of the connecting gear 13 could alternatively consist of a portion of a gear or several arcuate teeth, as long as it can cooperate with the connecting rack 23 and achieve the limited movement of the connecting rack 23.
[0054] In addition, the upper rail 1 and the lower rail 2 are connected by the connecting gear 13 and the connecting rack 23, specifically a toothed engagement connection.
[0055] The teeth design of the connecting gear 13 and the connecting rack 23 must be consistent with the specifications of the upper rack 11 and the lower rack 21 or be an integer multiple thereof, and the design position of the connecting rack 23 is preferably aligned with the lower rack 21.
[0056] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the tooth specifications of the connecting gear 13 and the connecting rack 23 are consistent with those of the upper rack 11 and the lower rack 21 , and the design position of the connecting rack 23 is aligned with the lower half tooth segment 211 .
[0057] By rotating the upper rail 1, the upper rack 11 will rotate around the center of the connecting gear 13. Due to the tooth-shaped limit cooperation of the connecting gear 13 and the connecting rack 23 with the same tooth specifications, the teeth of the upper rack 11 and the teeth of the lower rack 21 are kept aligned in a specific way, thereby ensuring that the running wheels of the running movement can smoothly pass through the connecting section between the upper rail 1 and the lower rail 2. The connecting gear 13 and the connecting rack 23 play a guiding role.
[0058] In a preferred embodiment, the shape design of the upper rack 11 and the lower rack 21 can be as shown in the appendix of the specification. Figure 17 、 18 As shown, the width of the traveling gear 100 is greater than the width of the upper rack 11 and the lower rack 21. When the traveling gear 100 moves, when it is at the upper rack 11, the upper rack 11 supports a part of the traveling gear 100; when it is at the lower rack 21, the lower rack 21 supports another part of the traveling gear 100; when the traveling gear 100 is in the transition section where the upper rack 11 and the lower rack 21 are connected, the upper rack 11 and the lower rack 21 support the traveling gear 100 at the same time.
[0059] In another embodiment, the upper rack 11 includes an upper half tooth segment 111, and the lower rack 21 includes a lower half tooth segment 211. The upper half tooth segment 111 and the lower half tooth segment 211 are staggered and cross-matched to achieve better space saving and stable support for the massage movement running gear 100.
[0060] Furthermore, the upper rail 1 is provided with an articulated slot, and by rotating the upper rail 1, the hinge point between the upper rail 1 and the lower rail 2 can move along the articulated slot. The articulated slot that enables the upper rail 1 and the lower rail 2 to rotate includes a first articulated slot 31 provided on the upper half tooth segment 111 and the upper connecting member 12. The first articulated slot 31 is shaped like a runway, with the long end of the runway slightly tilted and the arc opening facing upward. Its purpose is to provide a clearance space when the upper rail 1 and the lower rail 2 rotate relative to each other, so that under the guidance of the connecting gear 13 and the connecting rack 23, the hinge point between the upper rail 1 and the lower rail 2 can move along the first articulated slot 31, thereby ensuring a one-to-one correspondence between the teeth of the upper half tooth segment 111 and the lower half tooth segment 211. In other embodiments, the first hinge slot 31 can also be disposed on the upper connecting member 12 or on the upper half tooth segment 111 alone, but the double-point hinge method of the present application is more stable and smooth.
[0061] Furthermore, a recessed groove 24 is provided on the lower connecting member 22, and the connecting rack 23 is arranged in the recessed groove 24. The design of the recessed groove 24 not only makes the structure of the lower connecting member 22 more compact, but also provides a limiting guide space for the connecting gear 13, thereby better ensuring the coordination between the connecting gear 13 and the connecting rack 23.
[0062] More specifically, a second hinged chute 32 is further provided in the sink 24 . The second hinged chute 32 is provided along the vertical end of the connecting rack 23 . The second hinged chute 32 is in the shape of a runway.
[0063] Furthermore, a transition connection block 4 is cooperatively connected between the upper rail 1 and the lower rail 2. The transition connection block 4 includes an upper transition block 5 and a lower transition block 6. One end of the upper transition block 5 is hinged to the lower transition block 6, and one end of the lower transition block 6 is provided with a third hinged groove 33 for being hinged to the upper transition block 5.
[0064] More specifically, during the rotation of the upper track 1 relative to the lower track 2, the upper transition block 5 can move along the upper connecting member 12, the lower transition block 6 can move along the lower connecting member 22, and the hinge points between the upper transition block 5 and the lower transition block 6 can also move along the third hinge slot 33.
[0065] More specifically, the upper transition block 5 includes a main body 51, and a first extension piece 52 is extended from one end of the main body 51. The first extension piece 52 is narrower than the main body 51 and is connected to the middle end of the main body 51. A first hinge hole 53 is also provided on the first extension piece 52.
[0066] Furthermore, a ridge 54 is provided on the main body 51 , and a sliding groove 14 that matches with the main body 51 is provided on the upper connecting member 12 . A notch 15 that matches and connects with the ridge 54 is also provided on the sliding groove 14 .
[0067] Further, the lower overpass block 6 comprises a body 61, the side wall end of which is provided with a second hinge hole 62 hinged with the upper connecting piece 12.
[0068] Further, the third hinge sliding groove 33 is arranged on the body 61, and more specifically, the third hinge sliding groove 33 is in the shape of a hook, and the arrangement of the hook-shaped sliding groove enables an upper and lower space for movement of the upper overpass block 5 and the lower overpass block 6. In addition, the body 61 further comprises a second extension piece 63 arranged at intervals, and the third hinge sliding groove 33 is arranged through the second extension piece 63 on the inner side. The inner side of the second extension piece 63 on the outer side end is also provided with a third hinge sliding groove 33, and the outer side end of the second extension piece 63 on the outer side end is provided with a large hole 66 communicating with the third hinge sliding groove 33 thereon. Similarly, the body 61 on the outer side end without the second extension piece is also provided with a corresponding large hole 66.
[0069] More specifically, during the cooperation of the upper overpass block 5 and the lower overpass block 6, the first extension piece 52 is inserted into the second extension piece 63 arranged at intervals. In addition, the upper connecting block 12 has a protruding sheet structure 16, which is inserted between the body 61 and the second extension piece 63. Through the second extension piece 63 arranged at intervals and the body 61, and in cooperation with the sheet structure 16 and the first extension piece 52, the linkage design between the above-mentioned parts greatly enhances the consistency and stability of the cooperation between the lower overpass block 6 and the upper overpass block 5, the upper overpass block 5 and the upper rail 1, and the upper rail 1 and the lower overpass block 6.
[0070] Further, the body 61 close to one end of the lower rail 2 is also provided with an insertion piece, and the lower rail 2 is provided with an insertion slot matched with the insertion piece, and more specifically, the insertion piece comprises a transverse insertion piece 64 or / and a longitudinal insertion piece 65, and the insertion slot comprises a transverse insertion slot 25 or / and a longitudinal insertion slot 26, and the lower overpass block 6 can move along the direction of the insertion slot. Through the guiding effect of the insertion slot and the insertion piece, the above-mentioned structure design further improves the smoothness and stability of the mutual movement between the lower overpass block 6 and the lower rail 2.
[0071] In the specific embodiments given in the present application, longitudinal and transverse longitudinal insertion slots 26, transverse insertion slots 25, longitudinal insertion pieces 65, and transverse insertion pieces 64 are arranged at the same time.
[0072] Further, a rotating shaft 7 is also provided, and the connecting gear 13 is arranged on one side end of the rotating shaft 7, and the other side end of the rotating shaft 7 penetrates through the lower overpass block 6 and connects the upper rail 1 and the lower overpass block 6 with each other.
[0073] Furthermore, it also includes a screw hole 8 and a fastener, through which the fastener passes through the screw hole 8 to hinge the upper rail 1, the lower rail 2, and the lower transition block 6 together.
[0074] During use, refer to the instruction manual. Figure 13 To the instruction manual Figure 16 As shown, the massage mechanism includes a travel gear 100 and a travel guide wheel 200. The upper track 1 and the lower track 2 of the present application are both provided with a travel guide rail 9 that cooperates with the travel guide wheel 200. In a preferred embodiment, the travel guide rail 9 is provided at the inner end of the upper rack 11 and the lower rack 21. When the massage backrest rotates, the upper track 1 can rotate around the lower track 2. Due to the staggered cross-hinged arrangement of the upper half tooth segment 111 and the lower half tooth segment 211, as well as the teeth limiting effect of the connecting gear 13 and the connecting rack 23, the upper track 1 can keep the teeth of the upper half tooth segment 111 and the teeth of the lower half tooth segment 211 in completely corresponding positions when rotating around the lower track 2, thereby enabling the travel gear 100 to smoothly transition between the upper half tooth segment 111 and the lower half tooth segment 211. In addition, due to the clearance space design of the hinged slide and the matching connection and structural design between the upper transition block 5 and the lower transition block, the upper track 1 can be inverted at a right angle to the lower track 2.
