Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of massage technology, and more specifically, to a massage mechanism and massage device. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve and they pay more attention to health, their demands for quality of life are gradually increasing, especially in terms of health care. Massage therapy, as an effective health care method, has been widely used, with many people using massage to relax their mind and body, relieve fatigue, and promote blood circulation. Massage beds, massage mattresses, and other massage equipment have become common therapeutic devices on the market and are widely used in homes, hospitals, and physiotherapy centers.

[0003] Currently, most mainstream massage devices on the market use 2D mechanisms and airbag massage. While these devices can provide basic massage effects, they are significantly lacking in functionality and the diversity of massage techniques. Due to the relatively simple design of the massage mechanism and the limited range of massage techniques, they cannot fully simulate the richness of human massage, resulting in a rather bland user experience. Furthermore, the massage mechanisms in existing massage devices often create noticeable protrusions on the device surface. This not only affects user comfort but also prevents the device from providing a flat resting surface after the massage, making it impossible for users to lie comfortably on it for extended periods. Therefore, these devices are more often seen as functional tools than comfortable devices suitable for long-term daily use.

[0004] Besides comfort issues, the raised design of the massage mechanism also presents some aesthetic problems. The raised portion makes the surface of the massage mattress or massage bed less flat, affecting the device's appearance and increasing the risk of damage during transportation. Therefore, existing massage devices have certain shortcomings in both function and appearance, failing to meet the growing consumer demand for comfort, durability, and convenience. Utility Model Content

[0019] This application provides a massage mechanism and massage device, including a base mounted on the massage device body and a massage component, a telescopic rod, a first ball joint connecting rod, and a second ball joint connecting rod mounted on the base. The massage component includes a hinged first massage arm assembly and a second massage arm assembly. The telescopic rod is driven to connect to the first massage arm assembly via the first ball joint connecting rod, and to the second massage arm assembly via the second ball joint connecting rod.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0035] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the various features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and the combined embodiments are still within the protection scope of this application.

[0036] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0037] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this application is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on this application. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0039] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0040] One aspect of this application provides a massage mechanism 10 capable of smoothly switching between a stored and displayed state, thereby providing a better massage experience and enhancing the device's flexibility, comfort, and aesthetics. Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the massage mechanism 10 includes a base 111 installed on the massage device body 20, a massage component, a telescopic rod 131, a first ball joint connecting rod 141 and a second ball joint connecting rod 142, and other components.

[0041] Specifically, the massage assembly consists of a first massage arm assembly 121 and a second massage arm assembly 122, which are connected by a hinge. Each end of the first and second massage arm assemblies 121 and 122 is equipped with an adjustable massage head 123, enabling precise massage of various parts of the body. The connection between the telescopic rod 131 and the first massage arm assembly 121, as well as the connection between the telescopic rod 131 and the second massage arm assembly 122, is achieved through a ball joint structure, forming a flexible drive transmission. This allows the telescopic rod 131 to drive the first and second massage arm assemblies 121 and 122 to move towards or away from each other via the first ball joint connecting rod 141 and the second ball joint connecting rod 142 when extended or retracted, thereby enabling the massage assembly to switch from a retracted state to an extended state, or vice versa.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in its folded state, the massage components are completely retracted inside the massage device body 20, maintaining a flat appearance. This state is suitable for scenarios where users do not need to perform massage operations but only need to rest normally, as well as for storage or transportation of the device when not in use, protecting the internal components and reducing space occupation. Figure 2 As shown, in the exhibited state, the massage component protrudes from the massage device body 20, forming an operating surface for the user to perform massage. This state allows the massage head 123 to effectively perform massage operations, achieving therapeutic effects such as relieving fatigue and stress.

[0043] Overall, the flexible cooperation between the telescopic rod 131 and the ball joint linkage solves the problem of uneven surface caused by the protrusion of the massage mechanism 10 in existing massage devices 100, thus achieving a smooth transition between the retracted and protruding states of the massage components. This design not only greatly enhances the aesthetics of the device, making it more in line with the aesthetic needs of modern home environments, but also allows users to rest comfortably after a massage without worrying about the discomfort caused by the protruding mechanism, enhancing the device's user comfort and operational flexibility.

[0044] Optionally, the telescopic rod 131 is a lead screw. The fixed end of the lead screw is fixed to the base 111, and the telescopic end of the lead screw is connected to the output end of the first motor 132. The extension and retraction of the lead screw of the massage component is controlled by the forward and reverse rotation of the first motor 132, thereby driving the state transition of the massage component. Specifically, in the initial state, the massage component is in the displayed state. When the first motor 132 is energized and rotates forward, the lead screw is driven to extend, thereby driving the upper and lower massage arm components to move in opposite directions, allowing the massage component to be retracted smoothly, realizing the switch from the displayed state to the retracted state. Conversely, when it is necessary to switch the massage component back to the displayed state, the first motor 132 is energized and rotates in reverse, the lead screw retracts, driving the upper and lower massage arm components to move in opposite directions, thereby restoring the massage component to the displayed state.

[0045] It should be noted that when the massage assembly is in the extended state, the angle between the upper and lower massage arm assemblies can be controlled by adjusting the length of the telescopic rod 131. A larger angle results in a smaller protrusion of the massage assembly, suitable for gentler massage applications; conversely, a smaller angle increases the protrusion, suitable for deeper massage. Users can precisely control the protrusion height and massage intensity of the massage arm assemblies by adjusting the telescopic rod 131 according to their specific massage needs.

[0046] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the massage mechanism 10 also includes a kneading shaft 151 mounted on the base 111. The kneading shaft 151 has a straight section and an inclined section fixedly connected to the straight section, so that the two can work together. The first massage arm assembly 121 is sleeved on the inclined section through a first bearing. The straight section is driven to rotate so that the first massage arm assembly 121 and the second massage arm assembly 122 can swing through the inclined section to realize the kneading action.

[0047] Specifically, the straight segment of the kneading shaft 151 begins to rotate when driven, and this rotation drives the inclined segment to rotate synchronously via a bearing. The angle design between the inclined segment and the straight segment allows it to produce a yaw effect during rotation. This yaw effect drives the first massage arm assembly 121 to yaw through the first bearing, thereby simulating the kneading motion during massage. The yaw of the first massage arm assembly 121 drives the movement of the second massage arm assembly 122. Because the two are hinged, the second massage arm assembly 122 yaws synchronously under the yaw action of the first massage arm assembly 121. This linkage effect of yaw not only produces a kneading effect but also simulates the techniques of a real masseur, making the massage process more natural and gentle, conforming to ergonomic principles, and providing a more comfortable massage experience.

[0048] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the massage mechanism 10 also includes a traveling shaft 161 movably mounted on the massage device body 20, with the massage components mounted on the traveling shaft 161 via a base 111. The output shaft of the second motor 152 is driven by the kneading shaft 151 through a first transmission assembly 153, which can be a worm gear assembly, a gear assembly, or a pulley assembly, among other forms. The kneading shaft 151 is driven by the traveling shaft 161 through a second transmission assembly 154, which can be a gear assembly or a pulley assembly, to drive the synchronous movement of the traveling shaft 161. These components work together to ensure that the massage mechanism 10 can simultaneously perform both kneading and traveling functions.

[0049] Specifically, when the second motor 152 drives the kneading shaft 151 to rotate, the kneading shaft 151 not only causes the first massage arm assembly 121 and the second massage arm assembly 122 to swing at an angle, simulating the massage technique of manual kneading, but also connects to the walking shaft 161 through the second transmission assembly 154, causing the walking shaft 161 to rotate synchronously. A walking gear 162 is mounted on the walking shaft 161, and the walking gear 162 meshes with a rack 31 extending along the length of the massage device body 20. When the walking shaft 161 rotates, the meshing of the walking gear 162 and the rack 31 allows the massage mechanism 10 to move as a whole along the length of the massage device body 20, thereby realizing the walking function of the massage mechanism 10.

[0050] In general, this design allows the massage device 100 to simultaneously perform two massage functions using a single power source. First, the kneading shaft 151 drives the massage arm assembly to oscillate at an angle, achieving a massage effect that simulates kneading. Second, through the rotation of the travel shaft 161, the massage mechanism 10 can move along the length of the massage device body 20, providing the user with a wider massage coverage area. This design allows for more comprehensive massage operations on different body parts, and the position and massage techniques of the massage mechanism 10 can be adjusted as needed to meet the user's personalized massage requirements.

[0051] Optionally, such as Figure 5As shown, the massage mechanism 10 also includes a movable seat 17 slidably connected to the base 111. The movable seat 17 is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 131, forming a linkage between the telescopic rod 131 and the movable seat 17. The movable seat 17 can be integrally molded using injection molding, giving it strong structural stability and a unified appearance, while reducing production costs and complexity. A connecting groove 171 is provided on the movable seat 17, which is used to rotatably connect to one end of the second ball joint 142. The other end of the second ball joint 142 is rotatably connected to the second massage arm assembly 122, thus creating a flexible connection method that allows the second massage arm assembly 122 to move effectively under the drive of the telescopic rod 131.

[0052] Therefore, when the telescopic rod 131 extends or retracts, the movable seat 17 moves smoothly relative to the base 111, and drives the second massage arm assembly 122 to rotate about its hinge point with the first massage arm assembly 121 via the second ball joint 142, realizing the switching between the second massage arm assembly 122 being stored in the massage device body 20 or protruding from the device body. This switching mechanism allows the massage device 100 to maintain a flat appearance and save space when not in use, while it can be quickly deployed when a massage is needed, providing an efficient massage effect.

[0053] In summary, by covering the telescopic rod 131 with the movable base 17, the telescopic rod 131 is effectively shielded, protecting it from external environmental factors such as dust, dirt, and other potential physical damage, thus extending the device's lifespan. Simultaneously, the movable base 17 provides stable positional support for the connection between the telescopic rod 131 and the second ball joint connecting rod 142, ensuring the connection point remains stable during movement and preventing functional failures or performance degradation due to loose or inaccurate connections. Furthermore, the design of the movable base 17 considers space utilization and integration, allowing the second motor 152 to be integrated into its structure. By assembling the second motor 152 with the movable base 17, the entire massage mechanism 10 becomes more compact and stable.

[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the massage mechanism 10 also includes a tapping shaft 181 rotatably mounted on the movable base 17. A second bearing is eccentrically fitted onto the tapping shaft 181. One end of a first ball joint connecting rod 141 is rotatably inserted into the extension groove of the second bearing via a pin, and the other end of the first ball joint connecting rod 141 is rotatably connected to the first massage arm assembly 121. The eccentric setting of the tapping shaft 181, combined with the cooperation of the second bearing, enables the entire massage mechanism 10 to achieve more complex and flexible movement modes.

[0055] Specifically, when the striking shaft 181 is driven to rotate, the resulting eccentric force causes the first ball joint 141 to swing back and forth. This swinging motion of the first ball joint 141, in turn, causes the first massage arm assembly 121 to swing back and forth, thus realizing the striking action of the first massage arm assembly 121. By simulating real striking techniques, muscle fatigue can be effectively relieved and blood circulation increased. Due to the eccentric design of the striking shaft 181, the swing amplitude of the first massage arm assembly 121 can be flexibly adjusted according to the angle of rotation, making the massage techniques more diverse and better meeting the needs of different users. Through this striking action, the massage device 100 not only possesses the traditional kneading function but also adds a striking function, thereby enhancing the overall therapeutic effect and helping users obtain a more comprehensive massage experience in a short time.

[0056] Furthermore, since the striking shaft 181 is mounted on the movable base 17, when the telescopic rod 131 extends or retracts, the movable base 17 will move smoothly accordingly, and the striking shaft 181 will move synchronously with the movement of the movable base 17. This will drive the first massage arm assembly 121 to rotate around the hinge point between itself and the second massage arm assembly 122 via the first ball joint 141, thereby enabling it to be stored inside the massage device body 20 or protruded out of the device body. Combined with the aforementioned design of the second ball joint 142, the first massage arm assembly 121 and the second massage arm assembly 122 can rotate relative to or opposite to each other around their hinge point, thereby enabling the massage assembly to be displayed or stored as a whole.

[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the massage mechanism 10 includes a drive unit 182 and a transmission shaft 183 mounted on a movable base 17. The drive unit 182 may be a motor, and the transmission shaft 183 is arranged parallel to the tapping shaft 181. The drive unit 182 is drivenly connected to the transmission shaft 183 via a third transmission assembly 184, and the transmission shaft 183 transmits power to the tapping shaft 181 via a fourth transmission assembly 185.

[0058] Specifically, the motor acts as a power source, transmitting power to the drive shaft 183 arranged parallel to it via a third transmission assembly 184 (such as a gear assembly or pulley assembly). The movement of the drive shaft 183 further transmits power to the striking shaft 181 via a fourth transmission assembly 185 (such as a gear assembly or pulley assembly). The eccentric design of the striking shaft 181 and its connection to the first ball joint 141 ensure that, driven by the motor, the first massage arm assembly 121 can perform more complex back-and-forth swinging movements, thereby producing an effective striking effect. This design allows the massage mechanism 10 to provide a striking function while precisely controlling the intensity and frequency during the massage process through an efficient power transmission system.

[0059] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the massage mechanism 10 also includes a guide post 19 installed on the base 111 along the telescopic direction of the telescopic rod 131. A guide groove is provided on the movable seat 17 to cooperate with the guide post 19. The guide post 19 slides through the guide groove, thereby reducing the deviation of the telescopic rod 131 caused by external interference, avoiding the swing and deviation of the telescopic rod 131 during the movement, effectively guiding the movement trajectory of the telescopic rod 131, ensuring that the telescopic direction of the telescopic rod 131 is accurately controlled, and ensuring the stability of the telescopic process.

[0060] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, the massage mechanism 10 also includes a housing 112 covering the base 111. The housing 112 is used to cover the transmission components, drive components and other structures, which on the one hand ensures a flat and beautiful appearance, and on the other hand protects these components from damage and extends the service life of the massage mechanism 10.

[0061] In another aspect of this application, a massage device 100 is provided, which can be a massage chair, a massage bed, or a massage mattress. For example... Figures 7 to 12 As shown, the massage device 100 includes a massage device body 20 with a massage cavity, in which any of the aforementioned massage mechanisms 10 are installed, and its working state can be adjusted by a control system. Since the massage device 100 uses the aforementioned massage mechanism 10, it also has the same beneficial effects as the massage mechanism 10, which will not be described in detail here.

[0062] Specifically, by adjusting the operation of the first motor 132 through the control system, the massage mechanism 10 can automatically switch between a retracted and an extended state within the massage cavity. When the massage mechanism 10 is in the retracted state, it is completely housed within the massage device body 20, without taking up space or disturbing the user's rest. When the massage mechanism 10 is extended, its massage head 123 contacts the human body, providing therapeutic massage functions.

[0063] Secondly, the control system can also adjust the working state of the second motor 152 and the drive component 182 to realize the movement of the massage core 10 within the massage cavity, thereby flexibly adjusting the massage position and method according to the needs of different parts of the body. This function enables the massage core 10 to accurately massage various parts of the body, covering different areas and providing a more comprehensive massage effect. Depending on the user's needs, the device can perform various massage techniques such as kneading, tapping, and percussion, making the massage effect richer and more diverse, meeting the needs of different users.

[0064] Furthermore, the control system can adjust the massage intensity, allowing users to choose a suitable intensity based on their individual comfort and needs. This flexible adjustment method enables the device to provide a customized massage experience for users of different physical conditions and ages, enhancing its universality and comfort. In addition, the massage mechanism 10 can incorporate haptic feedback technology, adjusting the massage intensity through pressure sensing. This intelligent sensing technology makes the massage process more closely aligned with the body's needs, automatically adjusting the pressure and kneading intensity based on pressure feedback from different areas, further enhancing comfort and personalization.

[0065] Optionally, such as Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the massage mechanism 10 has a traveling shaft 161 and a driven shaft 163 at both ends of the massage assembly. These shafts are movably connected to guide rails 30 within the massage device body 20, thereby enabling smooth movement of the massage mechanism 10. Guide rails 30 are provided on the side walls of the massage cavity, and the traveling shaft 161 and driven shaft 163 are movably connected to these guide rails 30, ensuring that the massage mechanism 10 can move freely along the direction of the guide rails 30. The design of the guide rails 30 ensures that the traveling shaft 161 and driven shaft 163 will not deviate or jam during movement, and can smoothly drive the massage mechanism 10 for precise positioning and movement.

[0066] To ensure the massage mechanism 10 moves precisely along the guide rail 30, a rack 31 is installed on the guide rail 30, and a traveling gear 162 is fitted onto the traveling shaft 161. When the second motor 152 drives the traveling gear 162, the meshing between the traveling gear 162 and the rack 31 will drive the traveling shaft 161 to move smoothly within the guide rail 30, thereby moving the entire massage mechanism 10. The coordinated movement of the traveling shaft 161 and the driven shaft 163 enables the massage mechanism 10 to achieve precise linear movement, thus enabling massage of different parts and ensuring the precise positioning of the massage head 123 during the massage process.

[0067] Optionally, such as Figure 3 , Figures 9 to 11As shown, position sensors 40 are respectively installed at both ends of the guide rail 30, and a sensing element 50 is installed on the massage mechanism 10. The position sensors 40 are used to sense the sensing element 50 to obtain the position information of the massage mechanism 10 on the guide rail 30. Through this arrangement, the position sensors 40 can monitor the displacement state of the massage mechanism 10 at all times. The sensing element 50 acts as a signal trigger source and interacts with the position sensors 40 in real time during the movement of the massage mechanism 10. When the massage mechanism 10 approaches the extreme positions at both ends of the guide rail 30, the position sensors 40 at the corresponding positions can quickly sense the approach of the sensing element 50 and brake the massage mechanism 10 through the control system to ensure that it safely stops at the appropriate position, prevents its movement from exceeding the limit, and avoids damage to the equipment due to collision. Among them, the sensing element 50 can be a magnetic sensing element 50, and the position sensor 40 can be a Hall sensor. The Hall sensor and the magnetic sensing element 50 interact with each other through the principle of magnetic induction to achieve position detection.

[0068] Optionally, such as Figure 12 As shown, the massage device body 20 is covered with soft material to improve comfort and aesthetics.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
