Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. 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. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.

[0029] Example

[0030] Combination Figures 1 to 9This embodiment provides a leg massage device, including a leg mounting frame 11 and a leg massage unit. The leg massage unit has a first leg massage unit 12 and a second leg massage unit 13. The first leg massage unit 12 massages one leg of the user. The second leg massage unit 13 massages the other leg of the user. The first leg massage unit 12 and the second leg massage unit 13 are correspondingly disposed on the leg mounting frame 11. The first leg massage unit 12 and the second leg massage unit 13 can move independently of each other on the leg mounting frame 11.

[0031] The aforementioned leg massage device, with its first leg massage unit 12 and second leg massage unit 13, can move independently on the leg mounting frame 11. Through its extension and retraction movements, it simulates dynamic stretching of the leg muscles and joints, relieving muscle tension and improving leg flexibility. This combines the extension and retraction with massage and kneading, further enhancing blood circulation and massage effects, achieving deep relaxation, and meeting the diverse needs of users for different leg massages.

[0032] In this embodiment, the leg mounting bracket 11 can be controlled to rotate at a preset angle, so as to drive the first leg massage unit 12 and the second leg massage unit 13 to rotate synchronously with the leg mounting bracket 11.

[0033] In existing technologies, integrated leg massagers cannot flexibly perform separate massage operations on both calves. While separate leg massagers can address the massage of different legs, they suffer from height discrepancies and errors in the overall synchronous rotation, lifting, or lowering, making it impossible to accurately perform synchronized massage operations after lifting. Therefore, in this embodiment, by manipulating the leg mounting frame 11 to rotate at a preset angle, the first leg massage unit 12 and the second leg massage unit 13 are synchronized with the leg mounting frame 11, avoiding motion errors caused by individual rotation and improving the accuracy and stability of synchronous rotation.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first leg massage unit 12 moves linearly along its length on the leg mounting frame 11, and the second leg massage unit 13 moves linearly along its length on the leg mounting frame 11. This ensures that the extension path matches the natural muscle and bone structure of the user's leg, avoiding discomfort or deviation in massage effect caused by curved movements. In addition, the massage pressure evenly distributed along the linear trajectory ensures that different areas of the leg receive a consistent massage effect, which is especially suitable for deep relaxation of the large muscle groups of the calf and gentle massage around the joints.

[0035] It's worth mentioning that the first leg massage unit 12 and the second leg massage unit 13 can independently control their range of motion and intensity, allowing them to adapt to differences in leg length and muscle condition, thus meeting personalized needs. For example, if the left and right legs have different levels of fatigue, one side can be targeted for focused stretching and massage. Furthermore, the massage intensity can be dynamically adjusted based on leg size and user preference to enhance comfort.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, while keeping the second leg massage unit 13 in its initial position, the first leg massage unit 12 is adjusted to switch to a contracted position or an extended position to perform a stretching action on one leg. While keeping the first leg massage unit 12 in its initial position, the second leg massage unit 13 is adjusted to switch to a contracted position or an extended position to perform a stretching action on the other leg.

[0037] As described above, the step-by-step independent stretching method allows for targeted massage based on the different muscle fatigue levels, flexibility differences, or rehabilitation needs of the user's legs, improving the precision of the massage effect. In particular, the alternating stretching method is similar to the natural movement pattern of the legs during walking or running, which can better activate the leg muscle groups while avoiding discomfort or excessive pressure caused by simultaneous stretching of both legs. In rehabilitation therapy, alternating stretching helps to gradually restore leg joint flexibility and muscle function, making it particularly suitable for postoperative rehabilitation or elderly users.

[0038] In another preferred embodiment, the first leg massage unit 12 and the second leg massage unit 13 are simultaneously switched to a contracted position or an extended position, or simultaneously returned to their initial positions. Switching both leg massage units to the contracted or extended positions simultaneously provides a uniform and symmetrical stretching motion to both legs. Synchronized extension significantly improves massage efficiency and is more suitable for scenarios requiring overall relaxation and rapid relief of leg fatigue. Synchronized return avoids leg compression or instability that might result from delayed or inconsistent movements on one side of the massage unit, ensuring safety and improving the smoothness of the user experience.

[0039] Specifically, the control unit 2 is used to control the leg massage device 1. The control unit 2 is used to drive the leg mounting bracket 11 to rotate at a preset angle. Furthermore, the leg massage unit is controlled by the control unit 2 to perform massage operations. In addition, the control unit 2 is used to adjust the first leg massage unit 12 / second leg massage unit 13 to freely switch between the initial position and the contracted position or the extended position.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the leg mounting bracket 11 includes a back plate 111. The first leg massage unit 12 and the second leg massage unit 13 are slidably disposed on the back plate 111 via their respective guide rails 112, and each guide rail 112 extends along the length direction. The back plate 111 serves as the core support portion of the mounting bracket, supporting the first leg massage unit 12 and the second leg massage unit 13. The back plate 111 and the guide rails 112 are integrally mounted, providing overall strength and stability, ensuring smooth and stable sliding of each massage unit. Furthermore, the first leg massage unit 12 and the second leg massage unit 13 are slidably disposed on the back plate 111 via their respective guide rails 112, each guide rail 112 extending along the length direction, providing sufficient sliding stroke to accommodate the telescopic movement of the leg massage units in different massage modes.

[0041] The first leg massage unit 12 and the second leg massage unit 13 have a stroke threshold of 180 mm to 250 mm between the contracted position and the extended position, and preferably 200 mm, which results in a better stretching effect.

[0042] Furthermore, the back substrate 111 is provided with a first drive member 14 and a first transmission member 15 powered to drive the first leg massage unit 12 to move, and a second drive member 16 and a second transmission member 17 powered to drive the second leg massage unit 13 to move. The control unit 2 is electrically connected to the first drive member 14 and the second drive member 16 respectively.

[0043] The first driving component 14 and the first transmission component 15, the second driving component 16 and the second transmission component 17 are symmetrically spaced on their respective leg mounting brackets 11. Their driving and transmission methods are consistent. The following mainly describes the first driving component 14 and the first transmission component 15, while the second driving component 16 and the second transmission component 17 can be directly referred to.

[0044] Specifically, the first driving component 14 is a motor, and the first transmission component 15 includes a gear set 151 and a rack 152 that meshes with the last stage gear. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the first stage gear of the gear set 151, while the rack 152 is correspondingly mounted on the first leg massage unit 12. Since the guide rail 112 of the first leg massage unit 12 is connected to the mounting bracket, the rotation of the motor transmits power to the gear set 151, which in turn meshes with and links to the rack 152, thereby driving the first leg massage unit 12 to extend and retract along the direction of the guide rail 112.

[0045] In other embodiments, the driving component and transmission component may also be direct drive linkage methods such as push rod drive, slide drive, or hydraulic push, all of which fall within the protection scope of this case.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the leg massage device 1 further includes a first foot massage unit 18 connected to the first leg massage unit 12 and a second foot massage unit 19 connected to the second leg massage unit 13. The first foot massage unit 18 can adaptively move relative to the first leg massage unit 12 along the length of the user's leg, and the second foot massage unit 19 can adaptively move relative to the second leg massage unit 13 along the length of the user's leg. Each massage unit is configured as a pneumatic massage structure or a mechanical massage structure. Thus, the foot massage unit provides supplementary massage to the user's feet. Furthermore, by configuring the foot massage unit as an adaptive moving structure, its position along the length direction can be freely adjusted according to the specific length of the user's leg or massage needs, ensuring a fit to the lower leg and foot of different users.

[0047] Understandably, through an elastic sliding structure or intelligent sensor control, the foot massage unit can detect the actual position of the user's lower leg and make dynamic adjustments. During the massage, the foot massage unit can automatically adjust its position according to stretching or bending movements, ensuring the continuity and accuracy of contact between the massage device and the leg. Preferably, the threshold of elastic movement is limited to within 80mm. The foot massage unit and the leg massage unit are synchronously linked, so that they move synchronously along a linear guide after the mounting frame rotates.

[0048] Combination Figures 5 to 9 This embodiment also provides a massager, including the aforementioned leg massage device 1. It is understood that the massager can be, but is not limited to, massage chairs, massage beds, rehabilitation therapy equipment, fitness equipment, etc. Furthermore, when applied to a massage chair, the leg mounting bracket 11 is hinged to the chair frame 3 of the massage chair, so that the first leg massage part 12 and the second leg massage part 13 are correspondingly arranged in front of the chair frame 3. Moreover, the chair frame 3 is provided with a pushing member 31, which abuts against the leg mounting bracket 11 to drive it to rotate at an angle.

[0049] The control unit 2 is electrically connected to the pusher 31. Furthermore, the preset angle is defined as the angle between the leg mounting bracket 11 and the seat support 32 of the chair frame 3. Preferably, a preset angle of 100° is more suitable for the telescopic movement of the leg massager of the leg massage device 1.

[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
