Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of limb massage device technology, and in particular to a multifunctional limb massage mechanism and a massage chair for its application. Background Technology

[0002] In today's fast-paced life, people use their limbs for extended periods of time in various activities, such as operating computers, writing, and carrying objects, making their limbs prone to fatigue and soreness. To alleviate this discomfort, various massage devices have emerged on the market, with limb massage institutions being a significant category. With technological advancements, airbag massage has gradually gained popularity. Airbag massage regulates pressure on the body through inflation and deflation, providing a more even pressure distribution compared to traditional roller massage devices, and offering better adaptability to limbs of different shapes and sizes. However, traditional airbag limb massage devices typically massage only a single area, focusing either on the upper or lower part of the limb, unable to simultaneously massage both sides. This necessitates frequent adjustments to limb position or the use of multiple massage devices during the massage, making the process cumbersome and affecting the continuity and comfort of the massage.

[0003] Most existing massage devices with limb massage mechanisms offer relatively simple limb massage functions, primarily focusing on physical compression massage and rarely incorporating sonic vibration massage. Sonic vibration massage can penetrate deep into muscle tissue through specific frequency vibrations, promoting blood circulation and further enhancing the massage effect. However, due to technical difficulties and cost, products that effectively combine sonic vibration massage with traditional compression massage and are applied to limb massage mechanisms are few and far between. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a multifunctional limb massage mechanism and a massage chair for its application. Through its unique design, the massage device includes a sonic massage unit and an airbag massage unit, providing users with a comprehensive limb massage experience.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A multifunctional limb massage mechanism includes a body and a massage device disposed on the body, the massage device comprising:

[0007] A first massage unit suitable for applying squeeze massage to the upper side of a limb, and a second massage unit suitable for applying squeeze massage to the lower side of a limb;

[0008] The first massage unit and / or the second massage unit include at least one massage airbag and at least one sonic massage unit;

[0009] The first massage unit and the second massage unit form a massage area, which is suitable for simultaneously applying squeezing massage and sonic vibration massage to the user's limbs.

[0010] Furthermore, the sonic massage unit includes a base, a rhythm generating module, and a vibration generating module; wherein, the vibration generating module includes:

[0011] An audio linear motor, comprising a stator and a mover that reciprocates linearly within the stator's cavity, and the audio linear motor is electrically connected to a tone generation module; and

[0012] A vibration amplification unit includes an elastic member and a vibration massage head with a predetermined weight. The vibration massage head is fixed to one side of the elastic member, and a moving part is fixed to the other side of the elastic member opposite to the vibration massage head, so that the elastic member is pushed by the moving part to generate elastic deformation and transmits the elastic deformation to the vibration massage head.

[0013] The rhythm generation module is configured to extract a low-frequency signal suitable for massage from the rhythm signal, amplify the low-frequency signal and transmit it to the audio linear motor, thereby actuating the vibrating massage head to perform rhythmic vibration massage.

[0014] Furthermore, the first massage unit includes a long strip-shaped first massage airbag, and the second massage unit includes a sonic massage unit and a second and a third massage airbag disposed at both radial ends of the sonic massage unit.

[0015] Furthermore, the first massage unit includes a sonic massage unit and a fourth and a fifth massage airbag disposed at both radial ends of the sonic massage unit, and the second massage unit includes a long strip-shaped sixth massage airbag.

[0016] Furthermore, the first massage unit and the second massage unit are tilted so that the massage area gradually decreases in size towards the user's hand.

[0017] Furthermore, the body has a mounting portion for inserting into the user's limb space, the mounting portion having a lower surface for mounting the first massage unit and an upper surface for mounting the second massage unit.

[0018] Furthermore, the upper surface also includes a hand support segment disposed at a position corresponding to the user's hand to support the user's hand, the hand support segment having at least one sensor for measuring the user's biometric information.

[0019] Furthermore, the cross-section of the installation part is in a "C" shape.

[0020] Furthermore, the installation part and the body are integrally formed.

[0021] A massage chair is provided with the above-mentioned limb massage mechanism, and the limb massage mechanisms are arranged at intervals in the width direction of the massage chair.

[0022] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The multi-functional limb massage mechanism of the present utility model organically combines the airbag massage unit and the sound wave massage unit. The airbag massage unit massages the limb by extrusion, and the sound wave massage unit massages the limb by vibration. The two work together to be able to massage the limb in all directions from different angles and in different ways, greatly enhancing the massage effect. Compared with the massage mechanism with a single massage method, it can more effectively relieve limb muscle fatigue and promote blood circulation.

[0024] 2. The sound wave massage unit of the present utility model adopts a unique structural design, including an audio linear motor and a vibration amplification unit. The mover of the audio linear motor makes a reciprocating linear motion in the inner cavity of the stator, and transmits the elastic deformation to the vibration massage head through an elastic member, achieving efficient vibration transmission. The elastic member in the vibration amplification unit and the vibration massage head with a predetermined weight cooperate with each other to be able to effectively amplify the vibration amplitude and enhance the massage force, making the massage effect more remarkable.

[0025] 3. The airbag massage unit and the sound wave massage unit of the present utility model are inclined, making the massage area gradually smaller towards the direction of the user's hand. This design conforms to the physiological curve of the human limb, can better fit the limb, reduce the pressure and discomfort during massage, and improve the comfort of the user.

[0039] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2This utility model relates to a multifunctional limb massage mechanism, which mainly includes a body 100 and a massage device 200 disposed on the body 100. The body 100 provides support and a mounting base for the entire massage mechanism, and its shape and structural design should conform to ergonomics to facilitate the user's limb placement. The massage device 200 of this application includes at least one airbag massage unit 210, which is configured to perform compression massage on the limb. The airbag massage unit 210 can be set at different positions on the limb, such as the upper side, lower side, or both sides of the limb, according to actual design requirements, to achieve compression massage on different parts. In practical applications, the airbag massage unit 210 can be composed of multiple independent airbags, which can be inflated and deflated separately to adjust the pressure and position of the compression according to the user's needs. The massage device 200 also includes at least one sonic massage unit 220, which is configured to perform vibration massage on the limb. The sonic massage unit 220 and the airbag massage unit 210 cooperate with each other to provide a richer massage experience for the limb. The sonic massage unit 220 can be configured within the compression massage area 300 defined by the airbag massage unit 210, or it can be configured on the opposite side of the limb opposite to the compression massage area 300, so that the airbag massage unit 210 and the sonic massage unit 220 can work together to perform massage actions on the limb. For example, when the airbag massage unit 210 compresses the limb from both sides, the sonic massage unit 220 can perform vibration massage from the inside or outside of the limb. The two work together to provide pressure stimulation to the surface of the limb and to deeply relax the muscle tissue through vibration.

[0041] It should be noted that the limbs mentioned in this application can be the upper limbs (i.e., the arm part) or the lower limbs (i.e., the thighs and calves part). This application combines sonic vibration massage with airbag compression massage to provide comprehensive massage to the limbs from different angles and in different ways.

[0042] In this embodiment, the sonic massage unit 220 includes a base, a rhythm generation module, and a vibration generation module. The vibration generation module includes an audio linear motor and a vibration amplification unit. The audio linear motor includes a stator and a mover that reciprocates linearly within the stator's cavity, and the audio linear motor is electrically connected to the rhythm generation module. The vibration amplification unit includes an elastic member and a vibration massage head 221 with a predetermined weight. The vibration massage head 221 is fixed to one side of the elastic member, and the mover is fixed to the other side of the elastic member opposite to the vibration massage head 221. When the rhythm generation module transmits an electrical signal to the audio linear motor, the mover reciprocates linearly within the stator's cavity, causing the elastic member to undergo elastic deformation. The elastic member then transmits this elastic deformation to the vibration massage head 221, causing the vibration massage head 221 to vibrate, thus achieving vibration massage of the limbs. The rhythm generation module is configured to extract a low-frequency signal suitable for massage from the rhythm signal, amplify the low-frequency signal, and then transmit it to the audio linear motor. By accurately extracting and amplifying low-frequency signals, the vibration frequency and amplitude of the audio linear motor can be adjusted according to different massage needs, thereby actuating the vibration massage head 221 to perform rhythmic vibration massage, providing users with a more targeted and comfortable massage experience. For example, in relaxation mode, lower frequency signals are extracted to make the vibration massage head 221 produce slow and gentle vibrations; in vitality mode, higher frequency signals are extracted to make the vibration massage head 221 produce fast and powerful vibrations. It should be noted that the structure of the sonic massage unit 220 in this application can adopt the structure of existing sonic massage devices, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0043] Embodiment 1 Layout: The massage device 200 may include a first massage airbag unit 211 adapted to perform compression massage on the upper side of a limb, and a second massage airbag unit 212 and a third massage airbag unit 213 adapted to perform compression massage on the lower side of a limb. In this layout, the sonic massage unit 220 is disposed between the second massage airbag unit 212 and the third massage airbag unit 213. When the first massage airbag unit 211 compresses the upper side of the limb, the second massage airbag unit 212 and the third massage airbag unit 213 compress the lower side of the limb, and the sonic massage unit 220 vibrates and massages from the middle position of the lower side of the limb, achieving all-round synergistic massage.

[0044] Example 2 Layout: The massage device 200 may also include a fourth massage airbag unit suitable for applying pressure massage to the upper side of the limb, and a sonic massage unit 220 suitable for applying vibration massage to the lower side of the limb. In this layout, the fourth massage airbag unit applies pressure from the upper side of the limb, while the sonic massage unit 220 provides vibration massage from the lower side of the limb. The two work together to provide a unique massage sensation to the limb.

[0045] In other embodiments, the sonic massage unit in the massage device 200 may also be disposed on the upper part of the massage device, cooperating with the airbag massage unit and disposed within the compression massage area defined by the airbag massage unit, or the airbag massage unit may be disposed on the lower part of the massage device, while the sonic massage unit may be disposed on the opposite side of the limb to the compression massage area (i.e. disposed on the upper part of the massage device). As long as the positional relationship between the sonic massage unit and the airbag massage unit is reasonable, no further limitations are imposed here.

[0046] Please see Figures 3-5 In this embodiment, both the airbag massage unit 210 and the sonic massage unit 220 are inclined so that the massage area 300 gradually decreases in size towards the user's hand. This inclined arrangement conforms to the shape characteristics of the human limb, with the limb circumference gradually decreasing from the base of the limb to the wrist. By inclining the massage units, the massage area 300 can better conform to the limb, improving the massage effect, especially making the massage of areas such as the wrist more precise and comfortable.

[0047] Structure of the main body: The main body 100 has a mounting portion 110 that provides space for insertion into the user's limbs. The mounting portion 110 has a lower surface 111 for mounting the top massage unit and an upper surface 112 for mounting the bottom massage unit. The mounting portion 110 has a "U"-shaped cross-section and is integrally formed with the main body 100 through a stamping design. This structural design ensures the strength and stability of the mounting portion 110 while facilitating the installation and fixation of the massage units. At the same time, the "U"-shaped cross-section provides good limb support, making the user more comfortable during the massage.

[0048] Hand support section and sensor: The upper surface 112 also includes a hand support section 113 disposed at a position corresponding to the user's hand to support the user's hand. The hand support section 113 has at least one sensor 114 for measuring the user's biometric information. For example, the sensor 114 can be a heart rate sensor, blood pressure sensor, etc., which can monitor the user's physical condition in real time during the massage and provide the user with more comprehensive health care. At the same time, the design of the hand support section 113 also allows the user's hand to be comfortably placed during the massage, improving the overall experience.

[0049] This utility model also discloses a massage chair equipped with a pair of the aforementioned limb massage mechanisms, which are spaced apart along the width of the massage chair. This design allows the user to enjoy a comfortable massage from both limbs simultaneously while sitting in the massage chair, further enhancing the user experience and massage effect, and meeting the user's need for a full-body massage.

[0050] Installation method:

[0051] Airbag massage unit installation: First, fix the first massage airbag unit 211 to the lower surface 111 of the mounting part 110, ensuring a firm and accurate installation. Then, fix the second massage airbag unit 212 and the third massage airbag unit 213 to the upper surface 112 of the mounting part 110, leaving space between them for the installation of the sonic massage unit 220. After installation, connect the inflation / deflation pipes of each airbag and connect them to the external inflation / deflation device.

[0052] Installation of the sonic massage unit: Secure the base of the sonic massage unit 220 to the pre-drilled position between the second massage airbag unit 212 and the third massage airbag unit 213 using bolts. Next, connect the rhythm generation module to the audio linear motor via wires, ensuring normal electrical signal transmission. Then, fix one end of the elastic component of the vibration amplification unit to the mover and the other end to the vibration massage head 221. Finally, install the entire vibration amplification unit onto the base, enabling the audio linear motor to drive the vibration massage head 221 normally.

[0053] Hand mount segment 113 and sensor installation: Attach the hand mount segment 113, which integrates the heart rate sensor, to the corresponding position on the upper surface 112 of the mounting part 110 of the main body 100 using adhesive, ensuring a firm attachment and accurate sensor positioning. Connect the data cable of the heart rate sensor so that it can transmit the monitored data to an external display device or controller.

[0054] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
