Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of massage chair technology, specifically relating to a foot stretching structure for a massage chair and a massage chair. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of modern life, people's demand for health and wellness is increasing, and massage equipment has gradually become a common auxiliary device in homes and offices. Among them, massage chairs are widely popular because they can provide a full-body relaxation effect. The foot massage area is an important component of a massage chair, directly affecting the user's comfort and experience.

[0003] Existing massage chairs typically come equipped with foot massage devices, but most only offer localized massage and lack support for foot stretching movements. This design fails to meet users' needs for full stretching and relaxation of foot muscles. Furthermore, current technology lacks a compact, flexible mechanical structure capable of multi-angle foot stretching.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a novel foot stretching structure that can effectively stretch the ankle area without increasing the overall volume, while possessing good stability and adjustability. This structure should be easily integrated into a massage chair and allow for control of the angle changes of the foot massage area via a drive mechanism, thereby improving the massage effect and user experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0037] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this solution mainly focuses on the specific structure of the foot stretching structure and its application in massage chairs.

[0039] A foot extension structure for a massage chair includes: a fixed frame 100, a telescopic frame 200, a foot massage part 300, a drive component 400, and a calf massage part 500.

[0040] Specifically, the mounting bracket 100 is used to connect to the massage chair, thereby securing the entire foot stretching structure to the massage chair. The connection between the mounting bracket 100 and the massage chair can be achieved through threaded connection, welding, or other methods. The calf massage unit 500 is fixed to the mounting bracket 100 through threaded connection or welding.

[0041] The calf massage unit 500 has two side-by-side second receiving cavities for accommodating the calves. By mounting the calf massage unit 500 on the fixing frame 100 and configuring the two side-by-side second receiving cavities, the massage function for the calves is realized, enhancing the overall massage effect. This design helps improve blood circulation in the user's legs, relieve fatigue, and make the massage chair more functional.

[0042] In one embodiment, a massager is provided in the second receiving cavity, which can massage the muscles on the back of the calf, thereby relaxing the calf.

[0043] The telescopic frame 200 is movably mounted on the fixed frame 100, and the movement between the telescopic frame 200 and the fixed frame 100 can be achieved by a power device such as a motor, cylinder or electric push rod.

[0044] In one embodiment, the telescopic frame 200 is provided with a guide post 240, and the fixed frame 100 is provided with a guide portion 110. The guide post 240 is slidably inserted into the guide portion 110 to guide the movement of the telescopic frame 200. By providing the guide post 240 on the telescopic frame 200 and the guide portion 110 on the fixed frame 100, and by allowing the guide post 240 to be movably inserted into the guide portion 110, precise guidance is provided for the movement of the telescopic frame 200, preventing it from deviating or tilting during operation.

[0045] This structure improves the smoothness of the entire tensioning mechanism's operation, extends its service life, and enhances the safety and durability of the equipment.

[0046] The foot massage unit 300 is rotatably mounted on the telescopic frame 200. When the foot massage unit 300 rotates relative to the telescopic frame 200, it can push the sole of the foot to rotate relative to the lower leg. For example, when the foot massage unit 300 rotates from... Figure 1 Rotate to the state shown Figure 3 In the indicated state, when the user is sitting on the massage chair, pressing down with their feet can stretch and massage the ankle area; when the foot massage section 300... Figure 3 The state has returned to Figure 1 When in this state, push the soles of your feet upwards to create a pressing and massaging effect on the soles of your feet.

[0047] The foot massage unit 300 has a first end and a second end at its ends along the front-to-back direction of the foot. The drive unit 400 can be a power component such as a motor, cylinder, or electric push rod. One end of the drive unit 400 is mounted on the telescopic frame 200 via a rotatable connection and is close to the first end; one end of the telescopic rod 410 is connected to the other end of the drive unit 400, and the drive unit 400 is used to drive the telescopic rod 410 to extend and retract relative to the drive unit 400; the other end of the telescopic rod 410 is connected to the second end via a rotatable connection.

[0048] In this design, the telescopic rod 410 has an extended state and a retracted state, and can drive the foot massage unit 300 to rotate in both states. Specifically, when the telescopic rod 410 is in the extended state, the angle between the foot massage unit 300 and the fixing frame 100 decreases; when it is in the retracted state, the angle increases.

[0049] This solution utilizes a fixed frame 100, a telescopic frame 200 movably mounted on the fixed frame 100, and a foot massage unit 300 rotatably mounted on the telescopic frame 200. Combined with a linkage mechanism consisting of a drive unit 400 and a telescopic rod 410, it achieves active adjustment of the angle of the foot massage unit 300. This structure can drive the foot massage unit 300 to rotate in different directions in both the extended and retracted states, thereby simulating the natural extension and flexion movements of the foot and enhancing the physiological adaptability and comfort of the massage. Furthermore, the structure is compact, facilitating integration into a massage chair, and offers good control flexibility and operational stability.

[0050] It is worth mentioning that the lines connecting the rotation center point of the drive unit 400 relative to the telescopic frame 200, the rotation center point of the telescopic rod 410 relative to the second end, and the rotation center point of the foot massage part 300 relative to the telescopic frame 200 form a triangular structure 600.

[0051] By forming a triangular structure 600 between the rotation center points of the drive unit 400, the telescopic rod 410, and the foot massage part 300, the transmission relationship between the three is made more stable and reliable, effectively improving the motion accuracy and mechanical performance of the entire tension structure. This triangular layout helps improve drive efficiency and reduce jamming or vibration problems caused by structural misalignment, thereby improving the smoothness and comfort of the user.

[0052] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 When the sole of the foot is placed on the foot massage part 300, the force exerted by the sole of the foot on the foot massage part 300 is mainly biased towards Figure 2 On the left side of the midfoot massage section 300, i.e., the triangular structure 600 is... Figure 2 The leftmost vertex. Since one end of the telescopic rod 410 is rotatably connected to the second end of the foot massage part 300 along the front of the foot, combined with this triangular structure 600, the force on the foot massage part 300 can be distributed to the other two vertices of the triangular structure 600, thereby avoiding the force on the foot massage part 300 being concentrated at its rotation center point relative to the telescopic frame 200, thus improving the durability and service life of the entire foot stretching structure.

[0053] Furthermore, the foot massage unit 300 includes two rotating plates 310, and the telescopic frame 200 includes: a first frame 210; a first rotating seat 220, which is disposed on the first frame 210, and one end of the drive member 400 is rotatably connected to the first rotating seat 220 through a first rotating shaft; and two fixed plates 230, which are disposed on opposite sides of the first frame 210, with the fixed plates 230 corresponding one-to-one with the rotating plates 310, and the rotating plates 310 being rotatably connected to the fixed plates 230 through a second rotating shaft.

[0054] The first frame 210 forms the main structure of the entire telescopic frame 200. The first rotating seat 220 serves as the rotation support point for the drive component 400. It can be integrally formed with the first frame 210 or fixed by means of threaded connection, welding, etc. The fixing plate 230 can also be integrally formed with the first frame 210 or fixed by means of threaded connection, welding, etc. In this design, by setting two rotating plates 310 in the foot massage part 300, and cooperating with the first frame 210, the first rotating seat 220, and the fixing plates 230 on both sides, the foot massage part 300 has the ability to provide multi-point support and flexible rotation.

[0055] This design not only enhances the stability of the structure, but also improves the load-bearing capacity of the foot massage unit 300 at different angles, avoiding the shaking or imbalance that may be caused by using a single pivot, thereby further optimizing the user experience.

[0056] Preferably, the foot massage part 300 includes a second frame 320, on which a second rotating seat 330 is provided, and one end of the telescopic rod 410 is rotatably connected to the second rotating seat 330 through a third rotating shaft.

[0057] The second frame 320 forms the main structure of the foot massage unit 300. A second rotating seat 330 is mounted on the second frame 320 of the foot massage unit 300 and connected to the telescopic rod 410 via a third rotating shaft. This allows the movement of the telescopic rod 410 to be efficiently transmitted to the foot massage unit 300, ensuring smooth and responsive rotation. This structure is rationally designed, facilitating assembly and maintenance, while also improving the connection strength and reliability between components.

[0058] It is worth mentioning that the foot massage unit 300 includes a detachably connected upper housing 340 and lower housing 350, and a second frame 320 is connected between the upper housing 340 and the lower housing 350. The upper housing 340 and the lower housing 350 are provided with a clearance part at one end facing the telescopic frame 200. The clearance part is used to provide clearance space for the rotation of the foot massage unit 300.

[0059] The foot massage unit 300 adopts a detachable upper housing 340 and lower housing 350 structure, with a clearance part provided at the end of both facing the telescopic frame 200, providing ample space for the rotation of the foot massage unit 300 and avoiding interference or jamming during movement. This ingenious structural design ensures both an aesthetically pleasing appearance and improved maintainability of internal components, facilitating cleaning and replacement.

[0060] Furthermore, an inner shell 360 is fixed on the second frame 320, and an opening is provided on the upper shell 340 for exposing the inner shell 360. The inner shell 360 is provided with two first receiving cavities 361 arranged side by side, and the first receiving cavities 361 are used to receive the foot.

[0061] In one embodiment, a massager for massaging the soles of the feet is disposed within the first receiving cavity 361. By providing an inner shell 360 on the second frame 320 and opening an opening in the upper shell 340 to expose a portion of the inner shell 360, the functional visibility and ventilation and heat dissipation performance of the foot massage unit 300 are enhanced.

[0062] The specific usage process of the foot stretching structure in this solution is as follows:

[0063] Preliminary steps for ankle massage: Place the lower legs into the second receiving cavity of the lower leg massage unit 500, and place the soles of the feet into the corresponding first receiving cavity 361. The telescopic frame 200 moves up and down relative to the fixed frame 100, and the foot massage unit 300 is moved down and positioned at a suitable distance to accommodate the user's leg length. Preferably, the first receiving cavity 361 and the second receiving cavity are respectively provided with inflatable airbags that are positioned in the same way as the massage chair, so that the soles of the feet can be gently pressed into the first receiving cavity 361 and the lower legs can be gently pressed into the second receiving cavity.

[0064] Stretching and massage: Refer to Figure 2 At this time, the telescopic rod 410 is in the extended state relative to the driving member 400. When the driving member 400 drives the telescopic rod 410 to retract relative to the driving member 400, that is, when the telescopic rod 410 is in the retracted state, the telescopic rod 410 drives the foot massage part 300 to rotate. Figure 2 Rotate counterclockwise to Figure 4 In the state shown, the angle between the foot massage part 300 and the fixing frame 100 increases, and the back of the foot is pressed down, forming a stretching massage on the ankle.

[0065] Pressing and folding massage: Refer to Figure 4 At this time, the telescopic rod 410 is in a retracted state relative to the driving member 400. When the driving member 400 drives the telescopic rod 410 to extend relative to the driving member 400, that is, when the telescopic rod 410 is in the extended state, the telescopic rod 410 drives the foot massage part 300 to rotate. Figure 4 Rotate clockwise to Figure 2 In the state shown, the angle between the foot massage part 300 and the fixing frame 100 becomes smaller, the foot is lifted upward, and a pressure massage is formed on the ankle.
