[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0025] Reference Figures 1-4This embodiment provides a massage component, including a storage box 1, a lifting component 2, a hand massage component 3, an arm massage component 4, an air pump 5, and a controller 6. The storage box 1 includes a box body 11 and a box lid 12. The box body 11 has an internal cavity for accommodating the lifting assembly 2, the hand massager 3, and the arm massager 4. The box lid 12 has symmetrical connecting parts 13 on both sides, allowing the box lid 12 to be slidably hinged to the box body 11 through the connecting parts 13, realizing flipping and sliding opening and closing. The lifting assembly 2 includes a lifting platform 21 and a first drive mechanism 22. The lifting platform 21 is movably installed inside the box body 11 and is driven up and down by the first drive mechanism 22, thereby adjusting the height of the hand massager 3 and the arm massager 4 to control the storage of the hand massager 3 and the arm massager 4 and adapt to the usage needs of different users. The air pump 5 supplies air to the hand massager 3 and the arm massager 4 through the air pipe 51. The air pipe 51 is equipped with a solenoid valve 52 for adjusting the airflow to achieve different massage effects. The controller 6 is connected to the first drive mechanism 22, the hand massager 3, the arm massager 4, the air pump 5, and the solenoid valve 52 to achieve automated operation.
[0026] Specifically, refer to Figures 2-4 The hand massager 3 includes a first support block 31 and multiple first massage airbags 32. The first support block 31 is fixed on the lifting platform 21 and has an internal structure for the hand to enter. The multiple first massage airbags 32 are arranged in the first space, corresponding to the palm and fingers respectively, and each first massage airbag 32 is connected to the air pump 5 through an air tube 51. When the controller 6 sends a command to the air pump 5, the air pump 5 delivers gas to the first massage airbags 32 through the air tube 51, causing the airbags to gradually inflate and create a squeezing sensation on the palm and fingers. When relaxation is needed, the air pump 5 controls the first massage airbags 32 to deflate, and the airbags contract, completing one massage cycle. The multiple first massage airbags 32 correspond to different parts of the palm and fingers, and through orderly inflation and deflation, they can simulate various massage techniques such as kneading and pressing, relieving hand muscle fatigue and promoting blood circulation.
[0027] Reference Figures 2-5The arm massager 4 includes a second support block 41, a second drive mechanism 42, multiple second massage airbags 43, and multiple massage balls 44. The second support block 41 is fixed to the lifting platform 21 and has an internal structure for inserting the arm. The multiple second massage airbags 43 are arranged sequentially on both sides of the second space along the arm placement direction, and each second massage airbag 43 is connected to the air pump 5 via an air pipe 51. The massage balls 44 are located at the bottom of the second space and are connected to the second drive mechanism 42. When the controller 6 sends a command to the air pump 5, the air pump 5 delivers gas to the second massage airbags 43 through the air pipe 51. The multiple second massage airbags 43 located on both sides of the second space expand sequentially, squeezing and massaging from both sides of the arm, simulating a massage motion. At the same time, the second drive mechanism 42 can start operating under the control of the controller 6, driving the massage balls 44 at the bottom of the second space to roll or rotate, massaging the muscles below the arm. Through the cooperation of the second massage airbags 43 and the massage balls 44, the arm muscles can be stimulated in multiple dimensions and in multiple ways to achieve deep massage and relaxation.
[0028] To enhance massage comfort, both the first massage airbag 32 and the second massage airbag 43 are made of flexible material, and the surface of the massage ball 44 is provided with a flexible layer to reduce friction on the arm.
[0029] Reference Figure 6 The lid 12 includes a flexible pad 121 and a support frame 122. The support frame 122 is connected to the flexible pad 121 and is at least partially embedded in the flexible pad 121 in the thickness direction. The flexible pad 121 is made of soft material. When the lid 12 is closed, the flexible pad 121 can serve as an elbow support. When the driver or passenger places their elbow on it, the flexible pad 121 can deform according to the shape of the elbow, distributing pressure and providing comfortable support. The support frame 122 can be made of lightweight metal or plastic to enhance structural strength and ensure that the lid 12 maintains its shape stability and is not easily deformed during sliding hinges. During opening or closing, the cooperation between the flexible pad 121 and the support frame 122 ensures both the functionality of the lid 12 and improves the user experience.
[0030] To improve the ease and stability of opening the lid 12, refer to Figure 7The connecting part 13 includes a fixing block 131, a rotating shaft 132, a connecting rod 133, an elastic element 134, a slider 135, and a pull rope 136. The fixing block 131 is located on the outside of the housing 11, and symmetrical guide grooves 137 are provided inside it. A rotating shaft 132 is provided in each guide groove 137. A connecting rod 133 extends outward from the fixing block 131 from the rotating shaft 132. A slider 135 extends from the end of the connecting rod 133 towards the housing cover 12. A sliding groove 123 and an unlocking groove 124 corresponding to the slider 135 are provided inside the housing cover 12. The elastic element 134 is provided in the guide groove 137, giving the rotating shaft 132 a tendency to move outward. The two ends of the pull rope 136 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 132, and the fixing block 131 has a hole 138 for the middle of the pull rope 136 to pass through. When the lid 12 is closed, the slider 135 is located in the groove 123, and the elastic element 134 keeps the rotating shaft 132 moving outward. The lid 12 is firmly fixed to the box body 11 by the connecting rod 1 and the slider 135. When it is necessary to open the lid 12, pull the pull rope 136 on the adjacent side to move the corresponding rotating shaft 132 inward, which drives the slider 135 to disengage from the groove 123 and enter the unlocking groove 124. At this time, the lid 12 can be freely flipped and moved by the slider 135 on the far side, and falls vertically.
[0031] Reference Figure 3 The top of the box 11 extends outward with an edge 111. A fixing block 131 is disposed on the edge 111, and a slot 112 is formed between the fixing block 131 and the outer wall of the box 11, so that when the box cover 12 is in a vertically falling state, a gap is formed between it and the outer wall of the box 11; see reference. Figure 6 The lid 12 is also provided with clearance holes 125 corresponding to the fixing block 131 to ensure that the lid 12 opens and closes smoothly.
[0032] Reference Figure 8 A car armrest includes an armrest box 7 and the aforementioned massage component. The storage box 1 of the massage component is embedded in the armrest box 7, so that the massage component can be completely stored in the armrest box 7 when not in use, saving interior space and keeping the interior tidy; when in use, the massage component can be raised by the lifting component 2 to provide massage function for the driver and passengers, improving driving and riding comfort.
