Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive seat technology, specifically to a dual-purpose footrest integrated into the back of the seat. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the automotive industry, people have put forward higher and higher requirements for the comfort and functionality of car interiors, especially during long-distance driving or riding, where there is a need for a device that can both provide a place to rest the feet and provide massage and relaxation when the feet are tired.

[0003] Existing in-car foot massage systems are relatively simple in function, offering almost no other practical features when not providing a massage. They are often just standalone devices occupying space in the car, failing to offer any additional convenience when passengers don't need a massage. This undoubtedly wastes the limited space inside the car and does not meet current consumers' demands for multifunctional and integrated automotive interiors.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a vehicle accessory that can provide comfortable foot massage and also have other practical functions when not massaging. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a dual-purpose footrest integrated on the back of a backrest, which can combine foot massage function and footrest function.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A dual-purpose footrest integrated into the backrest includes a backrest and a footrest assembly that is flipped and installed on the backrest. The footrest assembly can be flipped and unfolded to a downward tilted state. The key features are: the footrest assembly has a base and a cover plate. The base integrates a massage device, and the cover plate is set on the upper end of the base in an openable and closable manner.

[0008] When the footrest assembly is flipped open to a downward tilted position, the cover can be used to support the user's feet. When the cover is opened, the user's soles can rest on the base and be massaged by the massage device.

[0009] With the above structure, when the footrest and massage functions are not in use, the footrest assembly is stored on the backrest side. When in use, the footrest assembly is flipped back and down manually or electrically to tilt downwards. At this time, the cover is closed and can be used as a footrest, allowing the user's feet to rest on it. When the cover is opened, the user's feet can rest on the massage device inside the base, which can then massage the soles of the feet.

[0010] Preferably, the backrest has a receiving groove on its back side that conforms to the contour of the footrest assembly, and the footrest assembly can be folded into the receiving groove. This structure makes the overall appearance of the seat back more concise and streamlined, enhancing the product's aesthetics and overall integrity.

[0011] Preferably, the rear end of the cover is rotatably connected to the base, and an unlocking button is provided between the front end and the cover. With the above structure, when using the foot massage function, opening the cover allows it to rotate upwards and backwards without occupying space on the left and right sides of the device, thus avoiding obstructing the activities of other occupants in the vehicle.

[0012] Preferably, the base integrates a foot cover, allowing the user's foot to be inserted into the foot cover as if wearing shoes. The foot cover is used to stably hold the foot on the massage device. With this structure, the foot cover can stably hold the foot on the massage device, enabling the massage device to effectively stimulate acupoints on the soles of the feet.

[0013] Preferably, the foot cover includes a backrest cover, one end of which is fixedly connected to the base via an elastic structure. With this structure, when the massage function is not in use, the elastic tension of the elastic structure allows the backrest cover to lie flat on the surface of the massage device, ensuring a smooth base surface and facilitating easy closure of the cover. When the massage function is in use, as the user's foot inserts into the backrest cover, the elastic tension of the elastic structure pushes the backrest cover upwards. After the user's foot is inserted, the elastic tension of the elastic structure better secures the foot position during the massage.

[0014] Preferably, an air bag is fixed to the bottom side of the instep cover. With the above structure, when the user's foot is inserted into the instep cover, the air pump inflates the air bag, and the inflated air bag can provide downward pressure on the instep, so that the foot can be pressed firmly onto the massage device.

[0015] Preferably, the foot cover further includes an elastic mesh fabric on the instep cover located below the instep cover; the air bag is positioned between the instep cover and the mesh fabric. This structure enhances the user's comfort during foot massage.

[0016] Preferably, a partition plate is fixed to the upper side of the base, the partition plate having a left opening and a right opening, and a foot cover adapted to its shape is provided on the partition plate. This structure ensures foot comfort for the user during massage.

[0017] Preferably, the instep sleeve extends along the width of the base, the middle part of the instep sleeve is fixedly connected to the middle of the isolation plate, and both ends of the instep sleeve are fixedly connected to the base through an elastic structure;

[0018] And / or air pockets are fixedly provided in the areas corresponding to the left and right openings on the bottom side of the instep sleeve. This structure provides secure fixation for both feet while also offering the advantage of a simple and compact layout.

[0019] Preferably, both the left and right openings are covered with a mesh fabric for the soles of the feet. This structure provides some protection for the skin on the soles of the feet during massage, increasing the comfort of the massage.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. The dual-purpose footrest integrated into the backrest side provided by this utility model allows the footrest assembly to be stored behind the backrest when the footrest and massage functions are not in use, thus not occupying interior space and making the interior space layout more reasonable and concise. In use, the footrest assembly can be manually or electrically flipped backward and downward to a downward tilted state. At this time, the cover is closed, and the user's feet can rest on the cover to relax leg muscles and enhance overall comfort. Opening the cover allows the user's feet to rest on the massage device inside the base, which then massages the soles of the feet.

[0022] 2. The dual-purpose footrest integrated into the backrest side provided by this utility model can combine the functions of footrest and foot massage, and has the technical advantages of high space utilization and convenient use. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0034] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, a dual-purpose footrest integrated into the backrest includes a backrest 1 and a footrest assembly 2 that is flipped and mounted on the rear side of the backrest 1. The footrest assembly 2 can be flipped open to a downward tilting position. In practical applications, the rotation of the footrest assembly 2 relative to the backrest 1 can be operated manually or electrically. Figure 1 and Figure 10 As can be seen, the footrest assembly 2 has a base 21 and a cover plate 22. The base 21 integrates a massage device 5, and the cover plate 22 is disposed on the upper end of the base 21 in an openable and closable manner. The installation method of the cover plate 22 is not limited to rotational installation, sliding installation, etc. In this embodiment, the cover plate 22 is rotatably mounted on the base 21. When the footrest assembly 2 is flipped and unfolded to a downward tilted state, the cover plate 22 can be used to support the user's feet. When the cover plate 22 is opened, the user's soles can rest on the base 21 and be massaged by the massage device 5.

[0035] Based on the above structural design, when the footrest and massage functions are not in use, the footrest assembly 2 is stored behind the backrest 1, without taking up interior space, making the interior space layout more reasonable and concise. In use, the footrest assembly 2 is flipped backward and downward to a downward tilted state using manual or electric means. At this time, the cover 22 is in the closed state and can be used as a footrest, allowing the user's feet to rest on the cover 22 to relax leg muscles and improve the overall comfort experience; when the cover 22 is opened, the user's feet can rest on the massage device 5 in the base 21, and the massage device 5 can massage the soles of the feet.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 10In this embodiment, the massage device 5 is a rotary foot massage device, which includes massage components 51 rotatably mounted on the upper sides of the left and right ends of the base 21, and a drive assembly 53 that drives the massage components 51 to rotate in the horizontal plane where the sole of the foot is located. The massage components 51 located on the upper sides of the left and right ends are used to massage the user's left and right feet, respectively. The top of the massage component 51 is provided with a massage protrusion 52, which is offset to one side relative to the rotation center line of the massage component 51. The drive assembly 53 drives the massage component 51 to perform horizontal rotational movement. The massage protrusion 52 rotates with the massage component 51, thereby continuously stimulating the acupoints on the sole of the user's foot to achieve the purpose of massaging the sole of the foot. In practical applications, the massage device 5 includes, but is not limited to, the above-described structural design, and can also be any foot massage structure that can be installed in the base 21, such as a roller-type foot massage device.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 and 4 The backrest 1 has a receiving groove 11 on the rear side that is adapted to the contour of the footrest assembly 2. When the footrest and foot massage functions are not in use, the footrest assembly 2 can be rotated and folded into the receiving groove 11, making the overall appearance of the seat back more concise and smooth, and enhancing the aesthetics and integrity of the product.

[0038] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the rear end of the cover 22 is rotatably connected to the base 21, and an unlocking button 23 is provided between the front end and the cover 22. Pressing the unlocking button 23 will open or close the cover 22. The cover 22 is rotatably connected to the base 21 at its rear end. When using the foot massage function, opening the cover 22 will allow the cover 22 to rotate upward and backward without occupying the space on the left and right sides of the device, thus avoiding obstructing the movement of other occupants in the vehicle.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 The base 21 is integrated with a foot cover 3. The user's foot can be inserted into the foot cover 3 in the manner of putting on shoes. After the user inserts the foot into the foot cover 3, the foot cover 3 can keep the foot stably on the massage device 5 so that the massage device 5 can effectively stimulate the acupoints on the sole of the foot and enhance the massage effect.

[0040] Further, refer to Figure 6 and 7 The foot cover 3 includes a foot back cover 31, one end of which is fixedly connected to the base 21 via an elastic structure 33. Thus, when the massage function is not in use, the elastic tension of the elastic structure 33 allows the foot back cover 31 to lie flat and cover the surface of the massage device 5 (see reference). Figure 5This design ensures a flat surface for the base 21 and facilitates easy closure of the cover 22. When using the massage function, as the user's foot inserts into the instep sleeve 31, the elastic structure 33 pushes the sleeve upwards, overcoming the tension. Once the foot is inside, the elastic tension of the structure 33 better secures the foot during the massage, preventing it from slipping or shifting due to the massage movements or involuntary movements. This ensures the massage components accurately target acupoints on the soles of the feet, improving the massage's effectiveness and precision. Furthermore, this design accommodates feet of different sizes to meet the needs of users with different body types.

[0041] like Figure 7 and 8 As shown, an air bag 32 is fixed to the bottom side of the instep sleeve 31. An air pump (not shown in the figure) for inflating the air bag 32 is provided on the base 21. When the user's foot is inserted into the instep sleeve 31, the air pump inflates the air bag 32. After the air bag 32 expands, it can provide downward pressure on the instep, so that the foot can be pressed firmly on the massage device, further enhancing the massage effect of the foot massage. After the massage is finished, the air bag 32 deflates, stops compressing the instep, and the user's foot is pulled out from the instep sleeve 31. Under the elastic tension of the elastic structure 33, the instep sleeve 31 can be laid flat to cover the surface of the massage device 5.

[0042] Furthermore, for example Figure 6 As shown, the foot cover 3 also includes a foot mesh fabric 34 disposed under the foot cover 31, which covers the inner area of ​​the foot cover 31. An air bag 32 is located between the foot cover 31 and the foot mesh fabric 34. The foot mesh fabric 34 is elastic and made of polyester fiber or nylon material. This design enhances the comfort of the user's foot during massage.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 5 and 9 An isolation plate 4 is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the base 21. The isolation plate 4 has a left opening 41 and a right opening 42, which correspond to the left and right feet of the user, respectively. The massage components of the massage device 5, which massage the left and right feet, are located at the two openings. A foot cover 43 adapted to the shape of the isolation plate 4 is provided to ensure the comfort of the user's feet during massage.

[0044] Further, refer to Figure 5 and 9 Both the left opening 41 and the right opening 42 are covered with a foot mesh cloth 44. The foot mesh cloth 44 can prevent foreign objects from entering the massage device and protect the massage device. At the same time, the foot mesh cloth 44 is soft and has a certain degree of elasticity, which can protect the skin of the soles of the feet during the massage and increase the comfort of the massage.

[0045] like Figure 5 and 7 As shown, the instep sleeve 31 extends along the width of the base 21. The middle of the instep sleeve 31 is fixedly connected to the middle of the isolation plate 4, and both ends of the instep sleeve 31 are fixedly connected to the base 21 via elastic structures 33. Specifically, both ends of the instep sleeve 31 extend to the left and right sides of the base 21, and both ends of the instep sleeve 31 are fixedly connected to elastic structures 33, which are located at the left and right ends of the bottom of the base 21, respectively. This design can satisfy the fixation of the user's left and right feet, while also having the advantage of a simple and compact layout.

[0046] Furthermore, by Figure 8 As can be seen, air bags 32 are fixed in the area corresponding to the left opening 41 and the right opening 42 on the bottom side of the instep sleeve 31. When the two air bags 32 are inflated, they can provide downward pressure on the left and right insteps.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art, under the guidance of the present utility model, can make various similar representations without departing from the spirit and claims of the present utility model, and such modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
