[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] The following is combined with Figures 1-3 The specific implementation scheme of this utility model is described.

[0024] Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a spinal massage mechanism provided by this utility model. As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses a spinal massage mechanism, which includes: a gripping mechanism 2, a mounting frame 5, a drive motor 3, a spacing adjuster 6, and a spinal pinching wheel 7. The gripping mechanism 2 is a U-shaped tubular component, in which the drive motor 3 is arranged. A drive shaft is arranged at the front end of the drive motor 3, and the drive shaft is connected to the shaft of the spinal pinching wheel 7. The spinal pinching wheel 7 is located at the front end of the drive shaft and is symmetrically installed on both ends of the mounting frame 5 corresponding to the two sides of the drive shaft. The spacing adjuster is arranged between the mounting frames 5, and its two ends are respectively connected to the spinal pinching wheel 7.

[0025] Preferably, the gripping mechanism 2 is configured as a U-shaped mechanism to improve the ease of gripping.

[0026] Preferably, the mounting frame 5 is configured as a U-shaped frame, and the U-shaped opening of the mounting frame 5 is vertically arranged in the horizontal direction relative to the U-shaped opening of the gripping mechanism 2, so as to improve the stability of the spinal massage mechanism during the force application process.

[0027] Preferably, the drive shaft is electrically connected to the pinching wheel 7. The electrical connection can be configured to enable the drive motor 3 to electrically control the pinching wheel 7 through the drive wheel, driven wheel and transmission belt, thereby adjusting the mechanical parameters of the pinching wheel 7 and improving the accuracy of the operation.

[0028] One end of the gripping mechanism 2 is connected to the transverse connecting part of the mounting bracket 5, and the other end of the gripping mechanism 2 has a grip handle.

[0029] The grip handle 2 is designed to facilitate the gripping and pushing of the pinching wheel 7 by the experimenter.

[0030] Preferably, the longitudinal design of the grip handle is more in line with the human hand's gripping habits, making it easier to drive the spinal massage wheel to rotate, thus making the spinal massage mechanism more in line with the ergonomic design principles.

[0031] One end of the grip is provided with a drive button 8 for controlling the drive motor 3.

[0032] The drive button 8 is configured to send corresponding control commands to the drive motor 3 according to different control gestures, so as to adjust the working mode of the drive motor 3, thereby meeting the experimentalist's need for precise control of the mechanical parameters of the back massage device under different test conditions.

[0033] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the spacing adjuster provided by this utility model, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the spacing adjuster 6 includes two racks and a gear; each of the two racks is connected to the wheel arm of the ridge wheel 7 installed at both ends of the mounting frame 5; the gear axle is embedded between the two racks in a direction perpendicular to the wheel axle of the ridge wheel 7.

[0034] The spacing adjuster 6 controls the rotation of the gear to drive the rack to rotate, thereby changing the spacing of the pinching wheels 7. When the gear rotates clockwise, the rack moves away from the pinching wheels 7 along the axial direction, and the distance between the pinching wheels 7 increases. When the gear rotates counterclockwise, the rack moves closer to the pinching wheels 7 along the axial direction, and the distance between the pinching wheels 7 decreases.

[0035] The structure of the two racks and one gear further enhances the stability of the pinching wheel 7; the way the gear drives the rack effectively and precisely controls the spacing of the pinching wheel 7.

[0036] The grip handle and the pinch wheel 7 are made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material.

[0037] The thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material has good customizability and plasticity, providing a soft touch for a spinal massage mechanism that is not prone to friction or irritation, thus ensuring optimal performance and user comfort.

[0038] The side of the grip that fits against the fingers is wavy; the side of the grip that fits against the palm is a detachable structure 1.

[0039] The wave-shaped design makes the side of the grip that fits against the fingers easy for the user to grasp, providing good anti-slip effect and effortless operation, which is in line with ergonomic principles. The detachable structure 1 makes the side of the grip that fits against the palm easy to install, and if damaged, it can be disassembled and replaced, improving the practicality of the spinal massage mechanism.

[0040] The grip handle contains a battery; a charging port 4 matching the battery is provided on one side of the grip mechanism 2.

[0041] Preferably, the charging port 4 matched to the battery on one side can be configured to meet one or more common USB port models.

[0042] The mounting bracket 5 is a U-shaped piece with embedded parts at both ends, and the pinching wheels 7 are respectively installed in the embedded parts; the rear end of the middle part of the mounting bracket 5 is connected to the front end of the gripping mechanism 2.

[0043] The embedded part effectively fixes the pinching wheel 7, while reducing the volume of the pinching wheel 7, making it easier to use and carry, and improving efficiency.

[0044] The U-shaped opening of the mounting bracket 5 is vertically positioned relative to the U-shaped opening of the gripping mechanism 2 in the horizontal direction.

[0045] The U-shaped design of the gripping mechanism 2 makes it easy for the experimenter to grasp and apply force, and the vertical setting makes it easy for the experimenter to push the pinching wheel 7 to rotate.

[0046] The pinching wheel 7 has multiple extended ends, and the edges of the multiple extended ends are arc-shaped.

[0047] The multiple extended ends form multiple contact points during the massage process, making it easier for the experimenter to apply force. The arc-shaped design of the edges of the extended ends enhances the safety and comfort of the spinal kneading roller 7.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
