[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 This utility model discloses a lower limb physiotherapy head, including a fixing frame 1 and a mounting frame 3. The fixing frame 1 is a hollow frame structure, and the mounting frame 3 is fixedly installed inside the fixing frame 1. It also includes a rotating ring 4, which is an annular ring with an opening. The diameter of the inner arc of the rotating ring 4 is larger than the diameter of the user's lower limb so that the rotating ring 4 can cover the user's lower limb. The rotating ring 4 is rotatably installed on the fixing frame 1. Specifically, the rotating ring 4 can move together with the fixing frame 1, and the rotating ring 4 itself can still rotate.

[0033] Furthermore, the rotating ring 4 is composed of a central arc portion 41 and two side arc portions 42. The two side arc portions 42 are respectively rotatably mounted at both ends of the central arc portion 41. The rotation axis of the side arc portions 42 is located on the central arc portion 41, so that the side arc portions 42 can open outward or close inward around the rotation axis. When the side arc portions 42 are open, it is convenient for the user to put their lower limbs into or take them out of the rotating ring 4. When the side arc portions 42 are closed, it can increase the clamping force of the rotating ring 4 on the user's lower limbs, and also make it easy to adapt to changes in the diameter of the lower limbs. Preferably, the arc occupied by the central arc portion 41 is 45° to 65°, and the arc occupied by the opening is 15° to 30°.

[0034] In addition, there are multiple massage balls 17, which are installed on the inner arc surface of the rotating ring 4. The massage balls 17 are in contact with the user's lower limbs. The massage head 17 can be a magnetic therapy head or a microwave therapy head to perform massage therapy.

[0035] In addition, a first driving mechanism is provided, which is mounted on the mounting bracket 3. The first driving mechanism is used to drive the rotating ring 4 to rotate around its own axis, so that the massage ball 17 rotates with the rotating ring 4 to provide a comprehensive massage to the user's lower limbs. The user can turn over to massage the lower side of the lower limbs. When the rotating ring 4 rotates around its own axis, the axis of the middle arc portion 41 and the axis of the side arc portion 42 are coaxial.

[0036] In addition, a ring rail 24 is provided, which is fixed on the circular surfaces on both sides of the rotating ring 4. The ring rail 24 is broken at the connection between the middle arc portion 41 and the side arc portion 42. Landing gears 15 are also provided on both sides of the rotating ring 4. There are two landing gears 15, and the two landing gears 15 are respectively installed on one side of the side arc portion 42. The side of the landing gear 15 near the rotating ring 4 has an arc groove 25. Preferably, the landing gear 15 is arc-shaped to make the structure more compact and leave more space on the inner side of the rotating ring 4. The ring rail 24 fits into the arc groove 25 so that the ring rail 24 can slide within the arc groove 25. A second drive mechanism is also provided on the mounting bracket 3, and the second drive mechanism is used to drive the landing gear 15 to rotate, so that the landing gear 15 drives the side arc portion 42 to open outward or retract inward. The rotation axis of the landing gear 15 is coaxial with the rotation axis of the side arc portion 42 so that the landing gear 15 and the side arc portion 42 can move smoothly when rotating, so as to avoid the landing gear 15 and the side arc portion 42 from jamming each other.

[0037] In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the rotating ring 4 is limited. When the connection between the middle arc portion 41 and the side arc portion 42 disengages from the end of the landing gear 15 facing the opening, the side arc portion 42 will lose its support and rotate freely. Therefore, the landing gear 15 needs to be set to a certain length. Preferably, the arc length of the landing gear 15 occupies an angle of 45° to 65°. At the same time, mechanical hard limit or software limit can be used to control the rotation angle of the rotating ring 4.

[0038] Combination Figure 5 In order to install the rotating ring 4 onto the fixed frame 1, constraint frames 16 are provided on both sides of the rotating ring 4 parallel to its own axis. The constraint frames 16 are fixed to the fixed frame 1. An arc groove 25 is provided on the side of the constraint frame 16 near the circular surface of the rotating ring 4. When the rotating ring 4 rotates, the ring rail 24 on the rotating ring 4 can slide in the arc groove 25, so that the rotating ring 4 can move together with the fixed frame 1, and the rotating ring 4 itself can still rotate.

[0039] Combination Figure 8A first receiving groove 411 is provided at one end of the middle arc portion 41 near the side arc portion 42. Preferably, the first receiving groove 411 penetrates the inner arc surface and the outer arc surface of the side arc portion 42. A second receiving groove 421 is provided at one end of the side arc portion 42 near the middle arc portion 41. A rotating rod 45 is rotatably provided in the first receiving groove 411. The end of the rotating rod 45 away from the first receiving groove 411 is rotatably installed in the second receiving groove 421. The contact part between the middle arc portion 41 and the side arc portion 42 is set to be arc-shaped, and the center of the arc is coaxial with the rotation axis of the rotating rod 45 in the first receiving groove 411, so that the side arc portion 42 can rotate smoothly.

[0040] Combination Figure 3 - Figure 5 In order to facilitate the driving of the rotating ring 4, a groove 43 is provided on the outer arc surface of the middle arc portion 41 and the side arc portion 42. A tooth 44 is fixed in the groove 43. The reason for setting the tooth 44 in the groove 43 is to avoid interference between the inner arc surface of the side arc portion 42 and the tooth 44 when the side arc portion 42 rotates.

[0041] The first drive structure includes a first motor 5, which is mounted on a mounting bracket 3. A first worm gear assembly 6 is also fixedly connected to one side of the output shaft of the first motor 5. One end of the worm of the first worm gear assembly 6 is fixedly connected to the center of the output shaft of the first motor 5. A first rotating shaft 7 is fixedly provided at the center of the worm shaft of the first worm gear assembly 6. A first gear 8 is also fixedly provided at one end of the first rotating shaft 7, and the first gear 8 meshes with the teeth 44. Thus, the first motor 5 can drive the first gear 8 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating ring 4 to rotate.

[0042] In this embodiment, optionally, two first gears 8 can be provided (e.g., Figure 4 As shown), the two first gears 8 are located on both sides of the middle arc 41 and rotate in the same direction to apply the same driving force to the rotating ring 4, thereby making the force on the rotating ring 4 more stable. Correspondingly, the first motor 5 can be a dual-shaft motor. Another set of first worm gear assembly 6 and first rotating shaft 7 are installed in sequence at the other output end of the first motor 5. The other first rotating shaft 7 is fixed to the shaft of the additional first gear 8. In order to make the rotation direction of the two first gears 8 the same, the worms of the two sets of first worm gear assembly 6 have the same rotation direction.

[0043] Combination Figure 4 - Figure 6To facilitate the rotation of the side arc portion 42, the second drive mechanism includes a second motor 9, which is a dual-axis motor with two output ends. The second motor 9 is mounted on the mounting bracket 3. The output shaft of the second motor 9 is fixedly connected to a second worm gear assembly 10, that is, one end of the worm in the second worm gear assembly 10 is fixedly connected to the output shaft. There are two sets of second worm gear assemblies 10, and the two sets of second worm gear assemblies 10 are symmetrically arranged about the second motor 9. The worms in the two sets of second worm gear assemblies 10 rotate in opposite directions to facilitate driving the two side arc portions 42 to rotate in opposite directions.

[0044] In addition, the second drive mechanism also includes a second gear 12. The second gear 12 is fixedly connected to the axis of the worm wheel of the second worm gear assembly 10 through a second rotating shaft 11. A third gear 13 is also rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 1, and the third gear 13 meshes with the second gear 12. A connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the third gear 13. The end of the connecting rod 14 away from the third gear 13 is fixedly connected to the landing gear 15. Thus, the third gear 13 can be driven to rotate by the second motor 9. The connecting rod 14 and the third gear 13 rotate together, so that one end of the connecting rod 14 drives the landing gear 15 to rotate, which in turn causes the landing gear 15 to drive the side arc portion 42 to rotate. Since the rotation direction of the worm in the two sets of second worm gear assemblies 10 is opposite, the two sets of landing gear 15 rotate in opposite directions, thereby causing the two side arc portions 42 to open or close.

[0045] Combination Figure 8 - Figure 12 In order to enable the massage head to vibrate and massage when in contact with the user, a mounting hole is provided on the inner wall of the rotating ring 4. A third motor 18 is installed in the mounting hole. There are multiple third motors 18, and the number of third motors 18 corresponds to the number of massage balls 17. A sleeve 19 is fixed on the inner arc surface of the rotating ring 4 at the position corresponding to the third motor 18. The end of the sleeve 19 away from the third motor 18 is provided with an inward portion 191. The inward portion 191 can be regarded as the diameter reduction end of the inner wall of the sleeve 19 on the side away from the third motor 18.

[0046] Additionally, a drive column 20 is fixedly mounted at the output end of the third motor 18, and an upper gear 201 is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the drive column 20. The third motor 18 can drive the drive column 20 to rotate, thereby causing the upper gear 201 to rotate. A transmission column 21 is provided at the end of the drive column 20 away from the third motor 18. One end of the transmission column 21 passes through the inner portion 191 and is fixedly connected to the massage ball 17. Optionally, a shaft connection portion 215 can be fixedly mounted at the end of the transmission column 21 away from the drive column 20. The axis of the shaft connection portion 215 is perpendicular to the axis of the transmission column 21. A massage ball 17 is rotatably mounted on each side of the shaft connection portion 215, thereby making the distribution of the massage balls 17 more dense to improve the physiotherapy effect. A sleeve shaft portion 211 is fixedly mounted at the end of the transmission column 21 near the drive column 20. One end of the drive column 20 is inserted into the sleeve shaft portion 211. A lower tooth 213 is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the side. The lower tooth 213 meshes with the upper tooth 201. The contact surfaces of the lower tooth 213 and the upper tooth 201 are both arc-shaped. When the upper tooth 201 rotates and pushes the lower tooth 213, it can only make the lower tooth 213 move axially without rotating. This effect can be achieved by adjusting the contact angle between the lower tooth 213 and the upper tooth 201, or by increasing the rotational resistance of the transmission column 21 and reducing its axial movement resistance. A retaining ring 214 is fixedly provided at one end of the transmission column 21 near the sleeve shaft 211. A spring 26 is provided between the retaining ring 214 and the inner part 191. The spring 26 plays a resetting role for the transmission column 21, so that when the drive column 20 rotates, it can drive the transmission column 21 to produce periodic position changes along the axial direction of the drive column 20, thereby making the massage ball 17 vibrate.

[0047] Combination Figure 10 and Figure 11 In order to adjust the angle of the massage ball 17, a wheel groove 202 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the drive column 20 near the transmission column 21. The height of the wheel groove 202 is at least equal to the distance the transmission column 21 moves axially. A mounting groove 212 is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve shaft 211 near the top. A pawl 22 is rotatably provided in the mounting groove 212. The pawl 22 can be engaged in the wheel groove 202. A spring piece 23 is provided between the pawl 22 and the mounting groove 212. The spring piece 23 always applies a force toward the drive column 20 to the pawl 22. Thus, when the drive column 20 rotates in one direction, it can drive the transmission column 21 to produce an axial position change, so that the massage ball 17 can vibrate. When the drive column 20 rotates in another direction, the pawl 22 is engaged in the wheel groove 202, so that the drive column 20 drives the transmission column 21 to rotate synchronously, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the angle of the massage ball 17.

[0048] In this embodiment, the rotation and vibration of the massage ball 17 can be used in conjunction with the rotation and movement of the rotating ring 4, thereby increasing the massage methods for the lower limbs and improving the physiotherapy effect.

[0049] Combination Figure 1 In order to facilitate use with the robotic arm, a connector 2 is fixed at the top of the fixed frame 1. The connector 2 is used to connect with the robotic arm, so that the rotating ring 4 can be moved along the user's lower limbs by the movement of the robotic arm.

[0050] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, the lower limb physiotherapy head is first installed on the robotic arm through the connector 2. The robotic arm moves the lower limb physiotherapy head above the user's lower limb. Then, the landing gear 15 is rotated through the second drive mechanism. The landing gear 15 drives the two side arcs 42 to open. The robotic arm moves downward to align the user's lower limb with the rotating ring 4. Then, the landing gear 15 is rotated through the second drive mechanism to close the two side arcs 42.

[0051] During physiotherapy, the first drive mechanism drives the first gear 8 to rotate. The first gear 8, through meshing with the teeth 44, drives the rotating ring 4 to rotate. At this time, the massage ball 17 located inside the rotating ring 4 can rotate around the user's lower limbs, or the lower limb physiotherapy head can be moved along the user's lower limbs by the mechanical arm to massage different parts. During the rotation or movement of the rotating ring 4, the third motor 18 can drive the drive column 20 to rotate in one direction, thereby periodically changing the axial position of the transmission column 21 through the contact of the lower teeth 213 and the upper teeth 201, so that the massage ball 17 vibrates. Alternatively, the third motor 18 can drive the drive column 20 to rotate in another direction, and with the cooperation of the pawl 22 and the wheel groove 202, the transmission column 21 and the drive column 20 rotate synchronously, thereby causing the massage ball 17 to rotate, thus increasing the massage range.

[0052] In summary, this lower limb physiotherapy head, by setting a rotating ring 4 composed of a central arc portion 41 and a side arc portion 42, and by setting a second drive mechanism and a landing gear 15, allows the second drive mechanism to drive the landing gear 15 to rotate, thereby causing the side arc portion 42 to open outward or retract inward around the rotation axis. When the side arc portion 42 is open, it facilitates the user to place or remove their lower limb from the rotating ring 4. When the side arc portion 42 is retracted, it increases the clamping force of the rotating ring 4 on the user's lower limb, and also facilitates adaptation to changes in the diameter of the lower limb. Grooves 43 are formed on the outer arc surfaces of the central arc portion 41 and the side arc portion 42, and teeth 44 are provided within the grooves 43. A first... The drive mechanism drives the rotating ring 4 to rotate around its own axis through the first drive mechanism, thereby causing the massage ball 17 to rotate with the rotating ring 4 to provide a comprehensive massage to the user's lower limbs. The lower limbs can be massaged without the user having to turn over, making it convenient to use. By setting the lower teeth 213 and the upper teeth 201, and driving the lower teeth 213 and the upper teeth 201 to contact and push each other through the third motor 18, the transmission column 21 will produce a periodic position change in the axial direction, thereby causing the massage ball 17 to vibrate and improve the massage effect. The pawl 22 and the wheel groove 202 are set so that when the third motor 18 rotates in the opposite direction, it can drive the massage ball 17 to rotate, further improving the massage effect.
