The massage head is connected to the inner rotor assembly. The inner rotor assembly is installed inside the base, so that the inner rotor assembly is connected to a sliding groove on the inner wall of the base. The drive mechanism is connected to the inner rotor assembly. The drive mechanism is used to drive the inner rotor assembly, so that the inner rotor assembly rotates along the sliding groove, thereby realizing the rise or fall of the inner rotor assembly relative to the base.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will now be described in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0028] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a mechanical massage motor driver for an automotive seat includes a drive motor 1, a gearbox assembly 2, and a power output component 3. The gearbox assembly 2 includes a gearbox housing 21, and the gearbox housing 21 has a housing cavity 22 formed inside. A first worm gear 231 and a first worm wheel 232 are rotatably mounted inside the housing cavity 22.

[0029] The drive motor 1 is fixedly mounted on the gearbox housing 21, and the motor output shaft 11 of the drive motor 1 extends into the housing cavity 22. The first worm gear 231 is mounted on the motor output shaft 11.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a second worm 241, a second worm wheel 242, a third worm 251, and a third worm wheel 252 are rotatably installed inside the housing cavity 22. The first worm wheel 232 is coaxially arranged with the second worm 241 and rotates synchronously. The first worm 231 meshes with the first worm wheel 232.

[0031] Furthermore, the second worm gear 242 is fastened to the third worm 251, and the second worm 241 meshes with the second worm gear 242.

[0032] Furthermore, the third worm gear 252 is located on the power output component 3, and the third worm 251 meshes with the third worm gear 252.

[0033] In the process of driving the power output component 3 to rotate by the drive motor 1 in this embodiment, the reduction gearbox assembly 2 achieves speed reduction transmission through the first worm gear 232 worm pair composed of the first worm 231 and the first worm wheel 232, the second worm gear 242 worm pair composed of the second worm 241 and the second worm wheel 242, and the third worm gear 252 worm pair composed of the third worm 251 and the third worm wheel 252 246. Since each worm gear pair has a self-locking capability, the above-mentioned triple worm gear pair combination structure can achieve a triple self-locking function. That is, the car seat mechanical massage motor driver in this embodiment has a very high self-locking force. When the car seat mechanical massage motor driver in this embodiment is applied to the car seat mechanical massage mechanism, the above-mentioned triple self-locking structure can effectively keep the massage head at the required massage pressure position under the action of external force, and the massage head will not shift in the opposite direction under the action of large external pressure, thus having good stability and reliability.

[0034] In summary, the automotive seat mechanical massage motor driver of this embodiment has the advantages of novel structural design and strong self-locking force, and can be effectively applied to automotive seat mechanical massage mechanisms through the above structural design.

[0035] Example 2, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that: a rotating component 26 is rotatably installed in the housing cavity 22, a first worm gear 232 is disposed at one end of the rotating component 26, and a second worm 241 is disposed at the other end of the rotating component 26, and the first worm gear 232 and the second worm 241 are an integral structure.

[0036] In this second embodiment, the first worm gear 232 and the second worm 241 are an integral structure. This integral structure design can effectively ensure the accuracy of the synchronous rotation of the first worm gear 232 and the second worm 241, and also improve the convenience of assembly.

[0037] Example 3, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 3 and embodiment 1 is that the third worm 251 and the motor output shaft 11 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, the rotating part 26 is perpendicular to the motor output shaft 11 and the third worm 251 respectively, and the motor output shaft 11 and the power output part 3 are located on the same side of the third worm 251 respectively.

[0038] The above-mentioned structural layout of the motor output shaft 11, rotating part 26, third worm gear 251 and power output part 3 has the advantages of good structural compactness and small size, and can effectively reduce the overall space occupied.

[0039] Example 4, as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment four and embodiment one is that: the gearbox housing 21 includes a main housing 211, a housing cavity 22 is opened in the main housing 211, a housing cover 212 located at the opening of the housing cavity 22 is screwed onto the main housing 211, and the housing of the drive motor 1 is screwed and fastened to the main housing 211.

[0040] Among them, the main housing 211 has a wear-resistant plate slot 2111 on one end of the third worm 251. An axial wear-resistant plate 4 is embedded in the wear-resistant plate slot 2111, and the end face of the corresponding side of the third worm 251 contacts the axial wear-resistant plate 4.

[0041] In addition, the main housing 211 has an outwardly opening internal threaded hole 2112 on the other end of the third worm gear 251, which communicates with the housing cavity 22. The internal threaded hole 2112 is internally threaded with a clearance adjustment screw 51. The inner end of the clearance adjustment screw 51 is equipped with an axial wear-resistant pad 52, which contacts the end face of the corresponding side of the third worm gear 251.

[0042] During operation, the gap adjustment set screw 51 can be rotated to move axially relative to the third worm 251, thereby causing the gap adjustment set screw 51 and the axial wear-resistant pad 52 to move along the axial direction of the third worm 251, so as to ensure that the axial wear-resistant pad 52 and the end face of the third worm 251 maintain abutting contact.

[0043] When the third worm 251 becomes axially loose, the user can adjust the set screw 51 by rotating the clearance to keep the axial wear-resistant pad 52 in abutting contact with the end face of the third worm 251, which can effectively improve the axial impact resistance of the product.

[0044] Example 5, such as Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 5 and embodiment 4 is that: the inner end face of the gap adjusting top screw 51 is provided with a top screw positioning hole 511, and the axial wear-resistant pad 52 is provided with a positioning protrusion 521 protruding toward the gap adjusting top screw 51. The positioning protrusion 521 of the axial wear-resistant pad 52 is embedded into the top screw positioning hole 511 of the gap adjusting top screw 51.

[0045] By cooperating with the positioning protrusion 521 and the positioning hole 511 of the set screw, this fifth embodiment can achieve a quick and accurate assembly connection between the gap adjustment set screw 51 and the axial wear-resistant pad 52.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
