Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a calf massage mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The massage chair consists of a backrest and a seat, with a base fixed underneath the seat to support it.

[0003] Most massage chairs on the market today either have a flat structure supporting the lower legs when the legs are raised and lowered, or they simply have a leg massager installed. If users want to achieve both of these usage needs at the same time, they need to purchase two different massage chairs, which is time-consuming and laborious. In addition, the two massage chairs take up a lot of space, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a calf massage mechanism that can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A calf massage mechanism is installed at the end of a massage chair for massaging the calves of a human. The massage mechanism includes a support plate and a hinge frame inclinedly disposed at the end of the chair, with the hinge frame located below the support plate. The massage mechanism also includes a massager hinged within the hinge frame, with clearance space inside the hinge frame for the massager to rotate. The massager has two massage grooves on its front for massaging the calves and a smooth surface on its back for supporting the calves. When the massager is flipped so that its back contacts the support plate, the massager is positioned in a first use state with the massage grooves facing upwards for the legs to rest on. When the massager is flipped so that its back connects with the support plate, the massager is positioned in a second use state with its back facing upwards for the legs to rest on.

[0007] As a further improvement, the hinge frame includes two spaced uprights and a connecting plate for connecting the two uprights. The clearance space is enclosed by the two uprights and the connecting plate. Rotating shafts are fixed on both sides of the massager. A hinge hole is opened at the end of the upright away from the connecting plate for the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0008] As a further improvement, a massage wheel for massaging the calf is provided at the bottom of the massage tank, and airbags for kneading and massaging the inner and outer sides of the calf are provided on both sides of the tank wall.

[0009] As a further improvement, limiting plates are fixed on both the left and right sides of the back of the massager. When the massager body swings upward to the first use state, the back of the limiting plate touches the support plate to limit the massager from continuing to swing upward; when the massager swings downward to the second use state, the front of the limiting plate touches the upper surface of the upright plate to limit the massager from continuing to swing downward.

[0010] As a further improvement, a storage space is provided between the chair and the base that supports the chair, and a storage component is provided between the chair and the massager to store the massager in the storage space.

[0011] As a further improvement, the storage assembly includes a linkage group located on both sides of the massage mechanism and a hinge located between the bottom surface of the chair and the back of the support plate. The linkage group includes a first link, a second link, a third link, and a fourth link. The top end of the first link is hinged to the side of the end of the chair to form hinge point A, and the bottom end is hinged to one end of the second link to form hinge point B. The other end of the second link is hinged to the side of the massager. The top end of the third link is hinged to the side of the end of the chair to form hinge point C, and the bottom end is hinged to one end of the fourth link to form hinge point D. The other end of the fourth link is hinged to the side of the massager. Hinge point C is located behind hinge point A, and the longitudinal height of hinge point A is greater than the longitudinal height of hinge point C. The position of the first link near hinge point B and the position of the fourth link near hinge point D are rotatably engaged by a hinge pin.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This application hinges the massager to a hinge frame located at the end of the massage chair. Users can rotate the massager to switch between a first function and a second function according to their needs. The first function is for massaging the lower legs, while the second function is for supporting the legs. This design has the advantages of simple structure and convenient use, greatly improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

Limiting plates 33 are fixed on both sides of the back of the massager 30. When the massager 30 body swings upward to the first use state, the back of the limiting plate 33 touches the support plate 10 to limit the massager 30 from continuing to swing upward. When the massager 30 swings downward to the second use state, the front of the limiting plate 33 touches the upper surface of the upright plate 21 to limit the massager 30 from continuing to swing downward. It should be noted that the massager 30 will not swing without the action of other external forces.

[0034] like Figures 2-4 As shown, a storage space 101 is provided between the chair part 11 of the massage chair 100 and the base 12 for supporting the chair part 11. To facilitate the storage of the massager 30, in another embodiment of this application, a storage component 60 for storing the massager 30 into the storage space 101 is provided between the chair part 11 of the massage chair 100 and the massager 30. The storage component 60 includes a linkage group 61 disposed on both sides of the massage mechanism and a hinge 62 disposed between the bottom surface of the chair part 11 and the back of the support plate 10. The linkage group 61 includes a first linkage 611, a second linkage 612, a third linkage 613 and a fourth linkage 614. The first linkage 611... The top end of the first link 611 is hinged to the side of the end of the chair 11 to form hinge point A, and the bottom end is hinged to one end of the second link 612 to form hinge point B. The other end of the second link 612 is hinged to the side of the massager 30. The top end of the third link 613 is hinged to the side of the end of the chair 11 to form hinge point C, and the bottom end is hinged to one end of the fourth link 614 to form hinge point D. The other end of the fourth link 614 is hinged to the side of the massager 30. Hinge point C is located behind hinge point A, and the longitudinal height of hinge point A is greater than the longitudinal height of hinge point C. The position of the first link 611 near hinge point B and the position of the fourth link 614 near hinge point D are rotatably engaged by hinge pin 63.

[0035] When storing the massager 30, push the support plate 10 to drive the first link 611 to drive the second link 612 and the third link 613 to drive the fourth link 614 to swing backward, thereby driving the massager 30 to move into the storage space 101 until the massager 30 is completely in the storage space 101, thus completing the quick storage of the massager 30.

[0036] The above embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or changes without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions should also fall within the scope of the present invention, as defined by the claims.
