Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of massage chair technology, and in particular to a chain-driven linear repeating push rod. Background Technology

[0002] After decades of development, improved living standards and the maturation of massage chair technology and the market have opened up a new field for the healthy development of massage chairs. Due to continuous market expansion, technological advancements, and industry specialization, a wide variety of massage chairs have gradually gained consumer favor, allowing consumers to enjoy a professional massage experience in their living rooms. However, the expanding market and intense competition among massage chair manufacturers have led to the industry's maturing development. To address this, manufacturers are constantly launching massage chairs with new functions and designs, and even incorporating internet technology to proactively cater to consumers from different social strata, stimulating consumer demand and providing new massage experiences and stress relief.

[0003] Currently, most massage chairs on the market are driven by electric push rods to make the chair recline. However, when performing functions such as rocking, the existing electric push rods cannot achieve continuous linear repetitive motion to realize the rocking function of the massage chair. In addition, the existing push rod mechanism is connected to the edge of the chain drive mechanism for driving, resulting in the push rod mechanism extending outwards for a long time and occupying a large area. Therefore, a chain linear repetitive motion push rod is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address at least one of the aforementioned technical shortcomings, this utility model provides a sprocket linear repetitive linkage push rod, comprising: a push rod mechanism, Hall switches, and a chain drive mechanism. Two Hall switches are fixed to the push rod mechanism, which is driven by the chain drive mechanism and the sprocket drive mechanism. The two sprockets of the chain drive mechanism are distributed in a straight line with the drive gear and the chassis transmission gear, and the sprocket used for power input is coaxial with the chassis transmission gear.

[0005] Furthermore, the push rod mechanism includes a slide rail bottom cover with several slide rail bottom cover fixing holes. Two parallel and interlocking slider guide rails are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slide rail bottom cover. Several mounting holes are evenly distributed on both sides of the slider guide rail edges. A sliding groove is formed in the middle of the interlocking surface of the two slider guide rails. An output groove aligned with the sliding groove is formed in the middle of the slide rail bottom cover. A linear motion push rod is slidably connected to one end of the two slider guide rails. A guide rail top cover is provided on the upper surface of the two slider guide rails. Several top cover fixing holes are formed on the guide rail top cover and bolted to the mounting holes. Two Hall switches are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the guide rail top cover. An output hole is formed at the outer end of the linear motion push rod, and an input hole aligned with the sliding groove is formed at the other end of the linear motion push rod. A hinge groove is fixedly connected to the slide rail bottom cover at the opposite end of the linear motion push rod.

[0006] Furthermore, the chain drive mechanism includes: a geared motor, a chassis, bearing housings, a chassis transmission gear, a sprocket, a chain, a chain extension link, and a chain groove bracket. A drive gear is installed at the output end of the geared motor. The chassis has several chassis mounting holes, and the geared motor is mounted on the chassis. The chassis mounting holes are fixedly connected to the gear cover mounting holes via bolts and threaded sleeves. The chassis has gear holes for mounting the drive gear. The gear cover has two bearing holes, each containing a bearing housing. Each bearing housing has a rotating shaft at its center, and the bottom of the central rotating shaft is connected to the drive gear. The chassis transmission gears mesh with each other. The top of each of the two rotating shafts is fixedly connected to a sprocket placed on the gear cover. The gear cover has several gear cover fixing holes that align with the fixing holes of the slide rail bottom cover. A chain is provided between the two sprockets. The chain has a chain groove bracket fixed to the gear cover around its periphery. The chain groove bracket has several fixing holes. The fixing holes of the slide rail bottom cover are connected to the fixing holes of the gear cover by bolts passing through the fixing holes. A chain extension rod is rotatably connected to the chain. The other end of the chain extension rod is rotatably connected to a connecting rod output shaft. The output shaft passes through the output groove and is rotatably connected to the input hole.

[0007] Furthermore, the diameter of the drive gear is smaller than the diameter of the chassis drive gear. Beneficial effects

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, the two sprockets of the chain drive mechanism are distributed in a straight line with the drive gear and the chassis transmission gear, and the sprocket used for power input is coaxial with the chassis transmission gear. This allows the sprocket at the power input end of the push rod mechanism to be located at the center of the chain drive mechanism, so that the entire push rod mechanism can move towards the center of the chain drive mechanism, thereby reducing the area occupied by the entire mechanism in space.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, this utility model inputs power through a chain drive mechanism and a sprocket drive mechanism. Through the drive input hole, the linear motion push rod slides inside the two slider guide rails. At the same time, two Hall switches monitor the starting position and the maximum position of the extension and retraction of the linear motion push rod. The slider guide rail, guide rail cover, linear motion push rod, and slide rail bottom cover make the whole assembly easy. During assembly, the two slider guide rails are fastened together, the linear motion push rod is clamped inside, and the two slider guide rails are fixedly connected to the guide rail cover and slide rail bottom cover by bolts through mounting holes, top cover fixing holes, slide rail bottom cover fixing holes, and bolts.

[0024] In practical implementation, compared with the prior art, this utility model inputs power through a chain drive mechanism and a sprocket drive mechanism, and through the drive input hole, the linear motion push rod slides inside the two slider guide rails. At the same time, two Hall switches monitor the starting position and the maximum position of the extension and retraction of the linear motion push rod. The slider guide rail, the guide rail cover, the linear motion push rod, and the slide rail bottom cover make the whole assembly easy. During assembly, the two slider guide rails are fastened together, the linear motion push rod is clamped inside, and the two slider guide rails are fixedly connected to the guide rail cover and the slide rail bottom cover by bolts through the mounting holes, the top cover fixing holes, the slide rail bottom cover fixing holes, and the bolts.

During linear motion, the linear motion push rod 103 moves linearly inside the sliding groove 112 between the two slider guide rails 101.

[0026] Further reference Figures 3 to 8The chain drive mechanism 3 includes: a geared motor 401, a drive gear 411, a chassis 412, a gear hole 413, a chassis fixing hole 414, a gear cover 422, a bearing hole 423, a rotating shaft 424, a gear cover fixing hole 425, a bearing seat 426, a chassis transmission gear 403, a sprocket 404, a chain 405, a chain extension link 406, a link output shaft 461, and a chain groove bracket 407. The output end of the geared motor 401 is mounted with... There is a drive gear 411. The chassis 412 has several chassis mounting holes 414. The geared motor 401 is mounted on the chassis 412. The chassis mounting holes 414 are fixedly connected to the gear cover mounting holes 425 by bolts and threaded sleeves. The chassis 412 has gear holes 413 for mounting the drive gear 411. The gear cover 422 has two bearing holes 423, each containing a bearing seat 426. Each component has a central rotating shaft 424. The bottom of the central rotating shaft 424 is connected to a chassis transmission gear 403 that meshes with the drive gear 411. The tops of both rotating shafts 424 are fixedly connected to sprockets 404 placed on the gear cover 422.
