[0059] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0060] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or it can be connected to a component in between. When a component is said to be "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or it may be set to a component in between.

[0061] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 18As shown, this application provides a massage mechanism 100, including a first massage device 20 and a second massage device 30; the first massage device 20 includes a first base 40 and at least one first massage arm 22, the at least one first massage arm 22 being disposed on the first base 40 to perform a massage action; the second massage device 30 includes a second base 50 and at least one second massage arm 32, the at least one second massage arm 32 being disposed on the second base 50 to perform a massage action; wherein, the second base 50 is attached to the first base 40 by a lifting mechanism 60, the lifting mechanism 60 being configured to drive the second base 50 to move in the front-back direction of the massage mechanism 100 to adjust the amount of protrusion of the second massage arm 32 relative to the first massage arm 22 toward the human body.

[0063] The second base 50 can move in the front-to-back direction of the massage mechanism 100 via the lifting mechanism 60 to adjust the amount of protrusion of the second massage arm 32 relative to the first massage arm 22 towards the human body. This allows for independent adjustment of the protrusion of the first massage arm 22 towards the human body, facilitating the massage mechanism 100's massage actions. When the massage mechanism 100 massages the user's back, the protrusion of the first massage arm 22 and the second massage arm 32 towards the human body can affect the intensity of the massage applied by the first and second massage arms 22 to the user's massage area.

[0064] For the specific structure of the first base 40, refer to one embodiment, such as 1 to 2. Figure 11 As shown, the structure of the first base 40 is not strictly limited; the first base 40 only needs to be able to support the first massage arm 22. For example, the first base 40 has a frame structure; the first base 40 includes two first base plates 41 arranged side by side and a first support plate 42 connected between the two first base plates 41, the first support plate 42 fixing the relative position between the two first base plates 41. The two first base plates 41 are spaced apart along the width direction of the user's body; the first massage arm 22 moves between the two first base plates 41.

The drive member 62 is mainly used to drive the second base 50 to move in the back-and-forth direction of the massage mechanism 100. To achieve its basic function, components such as motors, cylinders, or hydraulic cylinders can be selected from the prior art. When the motion mode directly output by the drive member 62 is inconsistent with the motion mode of the second base 50, appropriate transmission components can be used to change and transmit the motion mode.

The slider 671 is located in the groove 661 and can slide along the groove 661 to limit the movement direction of the second base 50. Specifically, there are two sliders 671 and two grooves 661, and each slider 671 can cooperate with the corresponding groove 661. The two sliders 671 are located on the two second substrates 51, and the two grooves 661 are located on the two first substrates 41.
