Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical and health care massage equipment technology, specifically to a one-finger massage machine based on a linkage mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Massage, through specific techniques applied to specific areas of the body, can improve the body's physiological and pathological conditions, achieving the effects of promoting blood circulation, clearing the meridians, and strengthening the body. "One-finger Zen" massage is a technique that uses the tip, pad, or tip of the thumb to apply pressure to a specific acupoint or meridian point, with the shoulder relaxed and elbow drooping, and the wrist flexed. The wrist's movement drives the thumb's flexion and extension, creating alternating and continuous pressure that acts on the acupoint. This technique is widely used in clinical practice.

[0003] Performing massage techniques is a physically demanding and mentally taxing task. The effectiveness of the massage depends on the therapist's energy and mental state as the massage continues. The "one-finger massage" technique, in particular, is highly difficult to master, requiring extensive training and years of experience. Currently, there is a severe shortage of experienced therapists in China, and the process is time-consuming and physically demanding. Furthermore, most massage simulation devices on the market currently use robotic arms for instruction to achieve the desired massage trajectory and pressure, which is too costly and poses a risk of personal injury. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome at least one of the defects in the prior art and provide a one-finger massager based on a linkage mechanism. This massager uses a linkage mechanism to convert the circular motion output by the power mechanism into the rocker arm motion of the massage rod, which can simulate the movement trajectory of the practitioner's fingers during the "one-finger massage" technique, and perform acupoint massage. It is safe, reliable, and inexpensive.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0009] Furthermore, the inner wall of the housing is provided with two opposing limiting grooves, and the two ends of the third rotating shaft are respectively located in the two limiting grooves. As the power rod is driven, the two ends of the third rotating shaft slide in the two limiting grooves respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting groove is a straight limiting groove or a curved limiting groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the massage rod is provided with a first groove, and the second stabilizing rod and the third stabilizing rod extend into the first groove and are then connected to the second rotating shaft and the third rotating shaft, respectively.

[0035] The power rod 2 is connected at one end to the first rotating shaft 16 and at the other end to the third rotating shaft 15. When the power rod 2 is connected to the first rotating shaft 16, the first rotating shaft 16 can be rotated by the power mechanism 17, thereby giving the end of the power rod 2 connected to the first rotating shaft 16 a circular motion, that is, providing power to the power rod.

[0036] The second stabilizer bar 5 has one end connected to the second rotating shaft 4 and the other end connected to the fourth rotating shaft 6;

[0037] The third stabilizer bar 12 is connected at one end to the third rotating shaft 15 and at the other end to the fifth rotating shaft 7.

[0038] Please see again. Figure 1-3 In this embodiment, the inner wall of the housing 10 is provided with two opposing limiting grooves 9. The two ends of the third rotating shaft 15 are respectively located in the two limiting grooves 9. With the transmission of the power rod 2, the two ends of the third rotating shaft 15 slide in the two limiting grooves 9 respectively. Specifically, the limiting grooves 9 are disposed on the limiting block 13. Constrained by the limiting grooves 9, the third rotating shaft 15 can only perform linear lateral movement. The limiting grooves 9 can be straight, curved, or corrugated. Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that the shapes of the limiting grooves 9 listed above are only preferred embodiments in this embodiment. Other existing or future components with similar functions to the limiting grooves 9, if applicable to this application, should also be included within the scope of protection of this application, and are hereby incorporated by reference.

[0043] Optionally, in this embodiment, the massage machine is further provided with a host computer for control, which is electrically connected to the power mechanism 17. When the massage frequency is adjusted by the host computer, a corresponding power control signal is output to the power mechanism 17, thereby causing the power output by the power mechanism 17 to be adjusted accordingly. The host computer for control can be a traditional computer, an industrial computer, or a programmable controller, all of which are readily available and will not be detailed here.

[0044] Working principle: The massager in this embodiment converts the circular motion output by the power mechanism 17 into the rocker arm motion of the massage rod 14 through the linkage mechanism, which can simulate the movement trajectory of the practitioner's fingers during the "one-finger Zen" pushing method and apply the technique to acupoints.

[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any other way.
