Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of massage equipment technology, specifically to a massage device controlled by a single motor. Background Technology

[0002] The fast pace of modern urban life means many people work long hours, often staying up late and putting extra strain on their bodies, leading to fatigue and imbalances in the body's organs. This creates a strong need for products that can relax both body and mind, resulting in the increasing popularity of massage devices. Existing massage devices often feature back kneading and tapping functions, covering a wide range of areas and offering diverse massage techniques, making them popular with consumers. However, because typical massage devices use separate power outputs for the kneading and tapping systems, requiring two motors, they don't fully utilize resources and increase production costs. Furthermore, the angle between the kneading and tapping systems, mounted on the same platform, is fixed and cannot be adjusted. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem in the existing technology that massage devices require multiple motors and that the angle between the kneading and tapping systems is fixed, by providing a massage device controlled by a single motor.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a massage device controlled by a single motor, characterized in that it includes a kneading and walking mechanism and a tapping mechanism, wherein the kneading and walking mechanism and the tapping mechanism are hinged together and share a common driving component.

[0005] Furthermore, it also includes a back plate, which serves as a carrier and is equipped with a rack that provides positioning and guidance. The rack is connected to the kneading and walking mechanism.

[0006] Furthermore, the kneading and walking mechanism includes a driving component, a housing, a transmission gear assembly, a massage head, and a connecting structure. The housing is provided with a hinge post and a passage hole. The driving component is installed inside the housing. The driving component is connected to the massage head and the rack through the transmission gear assembly. The connecting structure passes through the passage hole to connect the driving component and the tapping mechanism.

[0007] By connecting the transmission gear assembly to the drive unit and linking the striking mechanism via a simple hinge and belt drive, redundant drive system components are avoided, reducing the number of parts and lowering manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the flexible connection between the kneading and walking mechanism and the striking mechanism facilitates adjustment of the angle between them.

[0008] Furthermore, the transmission gear assembly includes a double-layer transmission gear, a spur gear, a double-layer kneading gear, and a double-layer walking gear. The drive component is connected to the double-layer transmission gear, and the force is transmitted to the double-layer kneading gear via the spur gear to achieve the kneading function. The double-layer kneading gear then transmits the force to the double-layer walking gear to achieve the walking function. Through the efficient collaboration of multiple gear layers, the transmission gear assembly not only has significant advantages in power transmission, functional division, and stability, but also provides a smoother massage experience.

[0009] Furthermore, the housing consists of an upper housing, a lower housing, and a limiting plate. The upper housing has a through hole through which the transmission gear assembly passes and connects to the massage head. The lower housing has a moving groove adapted to the rack, and the side wall of the moving groove has a through groove for the transmission gear assembly to mesh with the rack. The limiting plate is installed on the lower housing and located on both sides of the moving groove to prevent the lower housing from separating from the rack.

[0010] Furthermore, the connection structure includes a small pulley and a belt. The small pulley is driven by a drive component and is connected to the striking mechanism via the belt. The center of the small pulley is coaxially arranged with the hinge point of the kneading and walking mechanism and the striking mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, the striking mechanism includes a striking housing, a lifting assembly, a striking seesaw, and rubber connecting blocks. The striking housing is provided with a hinge hole adapted to the hinge post, a belt hole for the connecting structure to pass through, and a striking through hole for the lifting assembly to pass through. The striking seesaw is hinged to the striking housing, and rubber connecting blocks are installed at both ends of the striking seesaw. The rubber connecting blocks are connected to the lifting assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a drive shaft, a mounting bearing, a pulley, an eccentric shaft, a connecting bearing, and a striking wheel. The drive shaft is mounted inside the striking housing via the mounting bearing, and the drive shaft is equipped with a pulley for connection to a belt and eccentric shafts located at both ends of the drive shaft. The eccentric shafts are connected to the striking wheel via the connecting bearings, and one end of the striking wheel is hinged to a rubber connecting block.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above technical solution are as follows: This utility model uses only one driving component to drive the kneading and walking mechanism and the striking mechanism, realizing the coordinated operation of dual functions (kneading and striking). By sharing the driving component, the complexity of the mechanical structure and the number of parts are reduced, which helps to reduce manufacturing costs and system failure rate. By using the hinged connection between the striking mechanism and the kneading and walking mechanism, and the coaxial arrangement of the hinge point with the output shaft of the driving component, the striking mechanism can rotate at a certain angle, forming an angle-adjustable structure.
