Detailed Implementation

[0025] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0026] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0027] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] The following is for reference. Figures 1-2 The implementation of the massage device proposed in the embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail.

[0029] The massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0030] Backrest frame 1, the backrest frame surrounds the installation space;

[0031] Neck massage unit 2 is installed in the installation space. The two sides of the neck massage unit 2 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the backrest frame 1 through the first rotating shaft 11.

[0032] The back massage assembly 3 is installed in the installation space, and the two sides of the back massage assembly 3 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the backrest frame 1 via the second pivot 12.

[0033] The flexible connecting strap 4 connects the neck massage group 2 and the back massage group 3. During massage, the neck massage group 2 and the back massage group 3 can swing in tandem under the action of the flexible connecting strap 4, so that the neck massage group 2 and the back massage group 3 can fit the user's neck and back accordingly.

[0034] In other words, the backrest frame 1 is used to mount the neck massage group 2 and the back massage group 3. The two sides of the neck massage group 2 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the backrest frame 1 via first pivots 11, allowing the neck massage group 2 to swing about the first pivots 11. The back massage group 3 is located below the neck massage group 2, and the two sides of the back massage group 3 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the backrest frame 1 via second pivots 12, allowing the back massage group 3 to swing about the second pivots 12. The neck massage group 2 and the back massage group 3 are connected by a flexible connecting strap 4, creating a synergistic effect. When the user leans against the massage device, the neck... The neck massage group 2 and the back massage group 3 can match the concave and convex contours of the user's neck and back by swinging their angles. For example, when the upper end of the neck massage group 2 is subjected to the force of the user's neck, the neck massage group 2 can swing around the first pivot 11 as the fulcrum, so that the lower end of the neck massage group 2 fits against the neck. In this way, the upper and lower ends of the neck massage group 2 can be in a self-balancing fit against the user's neck. At the same time, the swinging of the neck massage group 2 can pull the upper end of the back massage group 3 through the flexible connecting strap 4, so that the back massage group 3 also swings. The upper and lower ends of the back massage group 3 can also be in a self-balancing fit against the user's back, greatly improving the massage effect.

[0035] The massage functions of the neck massage group 2 and the back massage group 3 can be implemented using existing structures. When the massage device is not in use, the flexible connecting belt 4 can be in a relaxed state. When the massage device is in use, the user directly acts on the flexible connecting belt 4, and the flexible connecting belt 4 is in a taut state. When the neck massage group 2 or the back massage group 3 swings, the flexible connecting belt 4 can also be kept in a taut state. The first rotating shaft 11 can be integrally formed on the backrest frame 1 or on the outer shell of the neck massage group 2. The second rotating shaft 12 can be integrally formed on the backrest frame 1 or on the outer shell of the back massage group 3. This massage device can be used as a portable massager in conjunction with a regular seat, or it can be installed on a massage chair.

[0036] Therefore, through the rotatable connection structure of the neck massage unit 2, the back massage unit 3, and the backrest frame 1, combined with the flexible connecting strap 4 for linkage design, a simplified structure and improved fit are achieved. The rotatable connection allows each massage component to adapt to the physiological curves of the user's neck and back, while the flexible connecting strap 4 ensures that both move synchronously with the user's body shape, forming a coordinated adjustment. This combination allows the device to achieve precise fit between the neck and back through the body's natural pressure without a complex drive mechanism, expanding the effective massage area and ensuring that the massage intensity is evenly applied to the target muscle groups, thereby improving the massage effect.

[0037] Optionally, the neck massage assembly 2 includes a first mechanism 21 and a first massage element 22 mounted on the first mechanism 21. The first mechanism 21 is a walking mechanism used to drive the first massage element 22 to move up and down and rotate. Understandably, by driving the first massage element 22 to move up and down and rotate via the walking mechanism, the massage range of the first massage element 22 is increased, facilitating a thorough massage of the user's neck. The walking function of the first mechanism 21 can employ an existing structure, such as using a drive motor to rotate a gear set, which in turn engages with a rack to achieve the walking of the first mechanism 21. The first massage elements 22 can be arranged in pairs for convenient kneading massage of the neck.

[0038] Furthermore, the neck massage assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the backrest frame 1 at the middle position of the walking mechanism path. Understandably, by rotatably connecting the neck massage assembly 2 to the backrest frame 1 at the middle position of the walking mechanism path, the first massage element 22 can move between above and below the connection point between the neck massage assembly 2 and the backrest frame 1. This allows the first massage element 22 to swing around this connection point as a fulcrum, ensuring it conforms to the neck regardless of whether it is above or below the connection point, thus facilitating more even pressure distribution for the user.

[0039] Optionally, the back massage assembly 3 includes a second mechanism 31, a third mechanism 32, a second massage element 33 mounted on the second mechanism 31, and a third massage element 34 mounted on the third mechanism 32. The second mechanism 31 drives the second massage element 33 to rotate, and the third mechanism 32 drives the third massage element 34 to rotate. Understandably, the second mechanism 31 and the third mechanism 32 drive the second massage element 33 and the third massage element 34 to rotate independently, allowing for differentiated massage targeting different areas of the back. The second massage element 33 and the third massage element 34 can use massage heads of different sizes or shapes. For example, the second massage element 33 is adapted to the upper back scapular region, and the third massage element 34 is adapted to the lower back waist region. Independent driving enables precise stimulation of key acupoints and muscle groups on the back, improving the targeting and comfort of the massage and meeting the user's massage needs for different parts of the back. The second mechanism 31 and the third mechanism 32 can be driven by a motor, such as a dual-axis drive motor. The second massage element 33 and the third massage element 34 can be arranged in pairs. The second massage element 33 can be a pair, and each second massage element 33 can be provided with three massage heads. The third massage element 34 can be arranged in two pairs, and each third massage element 34 can be provided with three massage heads.

[0040] Furthermore, the back massage assembly 3 is rotatably connected to the backrest frame 1 between the second massage element 33 and the third massage element 34. Understandably, the back massage assembly 3 is rotatably connected to the backrest frame 1 between the second massage element 33 and the third massage element 34, such that the second massage element 33 is positioned above the pivot point and the third massage element 34 is positioned below the pivot point. When the back massage assembly 3 swings about the second pivot point 12, the upper and lower massage elements can adapt to the curve changes of the upper and lower half of the back respectively, ensuring that the second massage element 33 and the third massage element 34 always conform to the back contour when the user moves, avoiding localized failure of fit due to single-point support, and making the back massage more comprehensive and even.

[0041] Optionally, the massage device also includes a base 5, a seat frame 6, and a leg rest 7. The base 5 is hinged to the seat frame 6, the seat frame 6 is hinged to the backrest frame 1, and the leg rest 7 is hinged to the seat frame 6. A drive unit 8 is connected between the base 5 and the seat frame 6 to drive the seat frame 6 to swing. Understandably, the hinged structure of the base 5, seat frame 6, and leg rest 7, in conjunction with the drive unit 8, allows for angle adjustment of the seat frame 6, enabling the massage device to adapt to various usage postures such as sitting and reclining. The drive unit 8 can be an electric push rod or a pneumatic rod, which, through extension and retraction, drives the seat frame 6 to rotate relative to the base 5, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the backrest frame 1. The leg rest 7 provides support for the legs, preventing discomfort caused by the legs being unsupported when adjusting posture, thus improving the overall comfort and flexibility of the user experience.

[0042] Furthermore, the massage device also includes a linkage assembly 9, which connects the base 5, the leg rest 7, and the seat frame 6, so that the seat frame 6 can drive the leg rest 7 to swing synchronously when it swings. Understandably, the linkage assembly 9 forms a linkage mechanism through multi-bar hinges, transmitting the swinging motion of the seat frame 6 to the leg rest 7. When the seat frame 6 swings up or down under the action of the drive member 8, the linkage assembly 9 drives the leg rest 7 to adjust its angle synchronously, allowing the massage device to adapt to various usage postures such as sitting and reclining.

[0043] Furthermore, the linkage assembly 9 includes a first connecting rod 91, a second connecting rod 92, and a third connecting rod 93. The first connecting rod 91 is hinged to the base 5, the second connecting rod 92 is hinged to the first connecting rod 91, and the third connecting rod 93 is hinged to the second connecting rod 92. The third connecting rod 93 is in rolling contact with the leg rest 7. Understandably, when the seat frame 6 swings forward or backward under the action of the drive member 8, the first connecting rod 91, the second connecting rod 92, and the third connecting rod 93 are sequentially driven, causing the leg rest 7 to adjust its angle synchronously. This design ensures that the leg support angle always matches the seat and backrest angles, ensuring that the user's body forms a natural, conforming support curve from the legs to the back, avoiding body distortion or pressure caused by misalignment of the components. The third connecting rod 93 can roll into contact with the leg rest 7 via a roller 94.

[0044] Optionally, the first massage element 22 includes a mounting plate 223, and a long massage head 221 and a short massage head 222 mounted on the mounting plate 223. The mounting plate 223 is connected to the first mechanism 21, and the long massage head 221 is connected to the mounting plate 223 via an elastic element. Understandably, the combined design of the long massage head 221 and the short massage head 222 can simulate different pressure depths during human hand massage. The long massage head 221 deeply stimulates the deep tissues of the neck muscles, while the short massage head 222 acts on superficial muscles and acupoints. The elastic element provides the long massage head 221 with cushioning capabilities, automatically adjusting the pressure intensity according to the neck contour to avoid discomfort caused by rigid contact. The mounting plate 223 provides stable support for the massage head, ensuring precise and controllable movement trajectory of the massage head when the first mechanism 21 is driven, thus improving the simulation and effectiveness of the neck massage. The elastic element can be a spring.

[0045] Optionally, the flexible connecting band 4 is elastic. Understandably, the flexible connecting band 4 is made of elastic material, allowing for adaptive stretching and contraction when the neck massage group 2 and the back massage group 3 move, ensuring coordinated operation while providing buffer space for angle adjustments. When the user's neck or back moves slightly, the elastic flexible connecting band 4 absorbs the instantaneous force through deformation, making the massage components' contact motion gentler and avoiding the impact that might result from a rigid connection. Simultaneously, the elastic recovery force helps the massage components quickly return to their original position after the user's posture is adjusted, maintaining a stable contact. The flexible connecting band 4 can be an elastic band or a flexible woven band.
