Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive seat technology, specifically to a car-mounted foot massager and a car seat. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the functions of car seats mainly focus on seat adjustment, backrest comfort, and lumbar support in some seats. Although some high-end car seats are equipped with massage functions, most of them are for back and buttock massage, while foot massage devices are relatively rare.
[0003] Existing foot massage devices mostly use air bag massage. However, the human foot has many acupoints and is lightweight. Air bag massage has the problem of low massage intensity, which makes it difficult for users to get effective foot massage and relaxation during car travel, and fails to meet users' needs for comfortable travel.
[0004] Therefore, developing a foot massage device suitable for car seats has significant practical implications. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a car-mounted foot massager that can effectively massage acupoints on the feet to relax the user's feet.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A vehicle-mounted foot massager, the key feature of which is: a foot support base, wherein the foot support base has a left foot support area and a right foot support area distributed to the left and right, and a massage component is rotatably mounted on both the left foot support area and the right foot support area;
[0008] The massage assembly includes a rotating shaft, a bracket extending radially outward along the rotating shaft, and a roller rotatably mounted at the distal end of the bracket, the surface of which is distributed with massage protrusions.
[0009] The foot support base is provided with a drive mechanism for driving the rotating shaft to rotate. The drive mechanism drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which can cause the roller to intermittently bulge upward in the corresponding foot support area in a rotational manner.
[0010] With the above structure, when the drive mechanism drives the rotating shaft to rotate, the roller can make a circular motion around the axis of the rotating shaft, so that the rollers in the left foot support area and the right foot support area can intermittently bulge upwards. The massage protrusions on the surface of the roller can effectively stimulate the acupoints on the sole of the foot, which has the advantage of good massage effect.
[0011] Preferably, a plurality of rollers are distributed on the outer side of the circumference of the rotating shaft.
[0012] Preferably, two rollers are distributed on the outer side of the circumference of the rotating shaft, the middle part of the bracket is fixed to the rotating shaft, both ends of the bracket extend radially outward along the rotating shaft, and the two rollers are respectively rotatably installed at the two ends of the bracket.
[0013] Preferably, the massage assembly has two supports, both of which are sheet-like structures, both of which are fixedly mounted on a rotating shaft, and the two ends of the roller are rotatably supported between the two sets of supports via a support shaft.
[0014] Preferably, the left foot support area and the right foot support area are each provided with two sets of massage components, and the four sets of massage components are distributed in a rectangular shape on the foot support base;
[0015] And / or two massage units located in the same row share a single pivot.
[0016] Preferably, in the two sets of massage components in the left foot support area, the massage component at the front end rotates forward, and the massage component at the rear end rotates backward.
[0017] Of the two sets of massage components in the right foot support area, the massage component at the front end rotates forward, and the massage component at the rear end rotates backward.
[0018] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a motor disposed in the middle of the foot support base, the output shaft of the motor is located between two sets of rotating shafts and parallel to the two sets of rotating shafts, and the output shaft is poweredly connected to the two sets of rotating shafts through a transmission assembly.
[0019] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a drive shaft rotatably mounted on the foot support base, the drive shaft extending along the length of the foot support base;
[0020] The output shaft is fitted with a first transmission component, the middle of the drive shaft is fitted with a second transmission component that meshes with the first transmission component, the two ends of the drive shaft are fitted with third transmission components at the positions of the two sets of rotating shafts, and the two sets of rotating shafts are fitted with fourth transmission components, which mesh with the third transmission component on the same side.
[0021] Preferably, in the transmission assembly, the two meshing transmission components are either helical gears or worm gears.
[0022] The second objective of this utility model is to provide a car seat, including a backrest, the key feature of which is that the above-mentioned car foot massager is installed on the back of the backrest by flipping, and the foot support base can be flipped and unfolded to the back of the backrest in a downward tilted state.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0024] 1. When the drive mechanism drives the rotating shaft to rotate, the roller can make a circular motion around the axis of the rotating shaft, so that the rollers in the left foot support area and the right foot support area can intermittently bulge upward. The massage protrusions on the surface of the roller can effectively stimulate the acupoints on the sole of the foot, relieve the tension of the foot muscles, and have the advantage of good massage effect.
[0025] 2. By setting multiple rollers on the outer side of the circumference of the rotating shaft, multiple sets of rollers can massage the soles of the feet multiple times within the 360° range of the rotating shaft. The massage protrusions on the surface of each roller can also stimulate the acupoints on the soles of the feet more deeply, bringing users a more comfortable and deeper massage experience.
[0026] 3. By flipping the car foot massager onto the back of the car seat, it can be folded back when not in use, without taking up space in the car and ensuring the user's activity space. When a foot massage is needed, simply flip the car foot massager back to relax the feet. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0035] like Figure 7As shown, a car seat includes a backrest 7, on which a car-mounted foot massager is folded up and installed. When not in use, the car-mounted foot massager is folded back on the backrest 7. When a foot massage is needed, the car-mounted foot massager can be folded up and unfolded to a downward tilted position on the backrest 7 for easy access to the foot massage function. In this embodiment, the car-mounted foot massager can be folded up manually or electrically.
[0036] Furthermore, by Figure 7 It can be seen that the backrest 7 has a recessed area 71 on the rear side that is adapted to the external structure of the vehicle foot massager. When the vehicle foot massager is folded into the backrest 7, it can form a whole with the backrest 7, which has good aesthetics.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 A car-mounted foot massager includes a foot support base 1, which is rotatably mounted to the rear side of a backrest 7. The foot support base 1 has a left foot support area and a right foot support area distributed to the left and right sides, respectively, and massage components are rotatably mounted on both the left and right foot support areas. Figure 2 As shown, the massage assembly includes a rotating shaft 2, a bracket 5 extending radially outward along the rotating shaft 2, and a roller 4 rotatably mounted at the distal end of the bracket 5. The rotating shaft 2 extends along the width direction of the foot support base 1, and the surface of the roller 4 is distributed with massage protrusions 41. A drive mechanism 3 is provided inside the foot support base 1, which can drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate. The drive mechanism 3 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, which can cause the roller 4 to intermittently convex upward in a rotational manner in the corresponding foot support area. In this embodiment, the orientation of the in-vehicle foot massager is described with reference to the orientation of the car seat, such as the width direction of the foot support base 1 corresponding to the width direction of the car seat, and the length direction of the foot support base 1 corresponding to the length direction of the car seat.
[0038] Based on this structural design, when the drive mechanism 3 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, the roller 4 can make circular motion around the axis of the rotating shaft 2, so that the roller 4 in the left foot support area and the right foot support area can intermittently bulge upwards, and the massage protrusions 41 on the surface of the roller 4 can also effectively stimulate the acupoints on the soles of the feet, relieve the tension of the foot muscles, and have the advantage of good massage effect.
[0039] Furthermore, multiple rollers 4 are distributed on the outer side of the circumference of the rotating shaft 2. The purpose is that within the 360° range of the rotation of the rotating shaft 2, multiple sets of rollers 4 can massage the soles of the feet multiple times. The massage protrusions 41 on the surface of each roller 4 can also stimulate the acupoints on the soles of the feet more deeply, bringing users a more comfortable and deeper massage experience.
[0040] Revisit Figure 2 and 3In this embodiment, two rollers 4 are distributed on the outer side of the circumference of the rotating shaft 2. The support 5 is fixed to the middle of the rotating shaft 2, and both ends of the support 5 extend radially outward along the rotating shaft 2. The two rollers 41 are rotatably installed at the ends of the support 5. By setting two symmetrical rollers 4, referring to... Figure 4 and Figure 7 When the massage device is not in use, the support 5 is parallel to the foot support base 1, and both rollers 4 are located inside the massage device. At this time, the upper surface of the massage device remains flat, making it easy to fold. In addition, when the massage function is not in use, the foot support base 1 can be flipped open and tilted downwards, making it convenient for users to place their feet and serving as a footrest.
[0041] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the foot support base 1 is provided with an upper cover 13, which is used to cover the internal components of the massage device. The upper cover 13 has openings 131 at the positions corresponding to the massage components. In the non-use state, each roller 4 is located under the upper cover 13. In the use state, each roller 4 can intermittently protrude upward from the openings 131, thereby performing rolling massage on the user's soles.
[0042] See again Figure 1 and Figure 7 The foot support base 1 has an upwardly extending adapter 12 at its front end, and the vehicle foot massager is rotated and installed to the back of the backrest 7 via the adapter 12.
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, to ensure the reliability of the installation connection, a massage assembly has two supports 5. Both supports 5 are sheet-like structures and are fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 2. The two ends of the roller 4 are rotatably supported between the two sets of supports 5 through the support shaft 6.
[0044] For example Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, two sets of massage components are provided in each of the left and right foot support areas, and the four sets of massage components are arranged in a rectangular pattern on the foot support base 1. The two sets of massage components in the same row share a single rotating shaft 2. That is, there are two sets of rotating shafts 2, both extending along the width of the foot support base 1. The four sets of massage components are connected to the four ends of the two sets of rotating shafts 2. Specifically, the two massage components at the left end of the two sets of rotating shafts 2 are used to massage the user's left leg and foot, and the two massage components at the right end of the two sets of rotating shafts 2 are used to massage the user's right leg and foot, allowing both the front and back of the user's foot to relax.
[0045] Depend on Figure 1 and Figure 4As can be seen in this embodiment, in the two sets of massage components in the left foot support area, the front massage component rotates forward, and the rear massage component rotates backward. Similarly, in the two sets of massage components in the right foot support area, the front massage component rotates forward, and the rear massage component rotates backward. This rotation direction prevents the front and rear massage components from pinching the sole skin during movement. The front roller 4 stretches the sole skin forward, and the rear roller 4 stretches the sole skin backward, thereby achieving the effect of stretching and relaxing the foot.
[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive mechanism 3 includes a motor 31 located in the middle of the foot support base 1. The output shaft a of the motor 31 is located between the two sets of rotating shafts 2 and is parallel to the two sets of rotating shafts 2. The output shaft a is connected to the two sets of rotating shafts 2 through a transmission component. The motor 31 can drive the two sets of rotating shafts 2 to rotate synchronously through the transmission component.
[0047] For further details, please refer to... Figure 2 and 5 The transmission assembly includes a drive shaft 32 rotatably mounted on the foot support base 1. The drive shaft 32 extends along the length of the foot support base 1 and is spatially perpendicular to the rotating shaft 2. The transmission assembly also includes a first transmission component 33 sleeved on the output shaft a, and a second transmission component 34 fixedly sleeved in the middle of the drive shaft 32. The first transmission component 33 and the second transmission component 34 mesh with each other. Figure 6 As shown, a third transmission component 35 is fixedly fitted at both ends of the drive shaft 32, corresponding to the positions of the two sets of rotating shafts 2. A fourth transmission component 36 is fixedly fitted on each set of rotating shafts 2, and the fourth transmission component 36 meshes with the corresponding third transmission component 35 on the same side. The motor 31 drives the first transmission component 33 on the output shaft a to rotate, which in turn drives the second transmission component 34 to rotate. The rotation of the second transmission component 34 drives the drive shaft 32 to rotate. The rotation of the third transmission components 35 at both ends of the drive shaft 32 drives the corresponding fourth transmission component 36 to rotate, thereby driving the two sets of rotating shafts 2 to rotate synchronously.
[0048] In this embodiment, the drive shaft 32 is located below the two sets of rotating shafts 2. In the transmission assembly, the two meshing transmission components are both helical gears or worm gears. Compared with other gear transmission methods, such as coaxial gear transmission and belt gear transmission, this design can reduce the space occupied by the transmission components, making the overall structure of the device more compact. At the same time, it also has the advantages of high transmission efficiency, good stability and long service life.
[0049] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, a first mounting base 11 extending upward is fixed on the foot support base 1. The first mounting base 11 has a first connecting through hole 1a, and the rotating shaft 2 is rotatably supported on the first connecting through hole 1a via a first bearing b. To increase the stability of the rotating shaft 2 support, in this embodiment, the foot support base 1 has a first mounting base 11 at each end corresponding to the two ends of the rotating shaft 2, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 2 are rotatably supported on the first mounting bases 11 on both sides. The mounting structures of the two sets of rotating shafts 2 are the same, and will not be described again here.
[0050] Further reference Figure 2 Two sets of second mounting seats 14 are provided at intervals on the foot support base 1 corresponding to the middle position of the rotating shaft 2. The rotating shaft 2 is rotatably supported on the two sets of second mounting seats 14, which further improves the stability of the rotating shaft 2.
[0051] 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.
