Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a massage chair with an electric sunshade head cover. Background Technology
[0002] In modern life, massage chairs, as devices that relieve physical fatigue and provide a relaxing experience, are widely used in various settings such as homes, shopping malls, airports, and office buildings. However, the head area of traditional massage chairs is usually open, without a dedicated light-blocking structure. When users are using the massage chair for a massage or to rest, ambient light (such as indoor lighting and natural light) can easily shine directly into their eyes, interfering with their rest. For people with poor sleep quality or who are sensitive to light, this light interference can seriously affect their relaxation effect, making it difficult to enter a deep resting state, thus significantly diminishing the user experience. This problem is particularly prominent in commercial massage chair usage scenarios in public places such as shopping malls and airports, and it can also affect user privacy. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a massage chair with an electrically operable light-blocking head cover that can block light and improve the user's comfort and privacy when using the massage chair.
[0004] This utility model discloses a massage chair with an electrically operated light-shielding head cover. The massage chair body includes a backrest and side panels on both sides of the backrest. The side panels can block side light and also have a certain effect on blocking external sound. A head cover mechanism is provided on the massage chair body. The head cover mechanism includes a support frame, a head cover, and an electrically operated pull cord assembly. The two ends of the support frame are respectively fixed to the inner sides of the two side panels. The lower end of the head cover is rotatably connected to the support frame. The distance between the front end of the head cover and its rotatable connection point is greater than the distance between the rear end of the head cover and its rotatable connection point. The design allows the front of the headgear to extend forward, covering the user's body as much as possible, thereby improving the light blocking effect and shifting the headgear's center of gravity further forward. The electric pull cord assembly is fixedly installed at the lower end of the headgear and located behind the rotating connection between the headgear and the support. The electric pull cord assembly includes a steel wire rope and a retraction mechanism for retracting the steel wire rope. The steel wire rope is connected between the support and the retraction mechanism. The front of the headgear naturally rotates downward under gravity, and the retraction mechanism can drive the front of the headgear to rotate upward when retracting the steel wire rope.
[0005] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When the headgear is closed, i.e., the front end of the headgear is in the downward position, the steel wire rope released by the electric pull rope assembly is relatively long and taut. The steel wire rope pulls the headgear to keep it in the appropriate position and prevent the front end of the headgear from falling. When it is necessary to open the headgear, i.e., when it is desired to drive the front end of the headgear to rotate upward, the headgear can be opened manually by rotating the front end upward. Since the steel wire rope becomes loose when the front end of the headgear is opened, the steel wire rope will not affect the opening of the headgear. This allows users to quickly open the headgear manually when they need to get off the massage chair in a hurry. In addition, the headgear can also be opened electrically. When the retracting mechanism retracts the steel wire rope, it can pull the front end of the headgear upward to open. When it is necessary to close the headgear, the retracting mechanism can be electrically controlled to gradually release the steel wire rope, and the front end of the headgear will naturally rotate downward to close under the action of gravity.
[0006] Furthermore, the support is composed of a U-shaped bent tube with an upward-protruding bulge in the middle. The bulge connects and cooperates with the headgear, maintaining a certain distance between the headgear mechanism and the user to avoid head collisions, increase the lower space, and reduce the feeling of oppression.
[0007] Furthermore, the lower end of the headgear has a recessed structure, and the protrusion of the curved tube is embedded in the recess at the lower end of the headgear. The design of the recessed structure not only makes the overall structure of the headgear mechanism more compact, but also improves its aesthetics.
[0008] Furthermore, the protrusion of the bent tube is composed of a horizontally placed first straight rod segment, and there are at least two rotating connection areas between the headgear and the first straight rod segment. The two rotating connection areas are distributed at intervals along the length direction of the first straight rod segment, so that the force between the headgear and the support is more uniform and the connection reliability is improved.
[0009] Furthermore, the headgear and the first straight rod segment are connected by a hinge. A support base is fixed on the first straight rod segment, and a support pad is fixed at the lower recess of the headgear. The two movable plates of the hinge are fixed to the support base and the support pad, respectively. The support base and the support pad can compensate for the problems of narrow contact area of the first straight rod segment and uneven contact surface at the lower end of the headgear, and can improve the connection and fixing effect of the hinge movable plates.
[0010] Furthermore, the bracket has two vertically or obliquely placed second straight rod sections at both ends, and support mechanisms are correspondingly provided on the inner sides of the two baffles. The support mechanism includes a base connected to the baffle and a side cover connected to the base. The second straight rod section is fixed on the base, and the side cover covers the outside of the second straight rod section. The side cover can cover the connection between the second straight rod section and the base, improving the aesthetics.
[0011] Furthermore, the headgear mechanism includes a cover, which is fixed to the lower end of the headgear. The rotating connection between the support and the headgear, as well as the electric pull rope assembly, are all covered between the cover and the headgear. The cover has through slots on both sides for the support to pass through. The cover can prevent the connection between the headgear and the support from being exposed, thus preventing accidents such as pinching hands, hair, or scratching the skin. It can also improve the overall integrity of the headgear mechanism and enhance its aesthetics.
[0012] Furthermore, a handle is provided at the lower end of the headgear, which is located in front of the rotatable connection between the headgear and the support, making it convenient for the user to push and pull the headgear.
[0013] Furthermore, an inner cavity is formed between the handle and the head cover, and an opening connected to the inner cavity is provided at the rear end of the handle, allowing the user's hand to be inserted into the inner cavity through the opening for easy gripping and applying force to the handle.
[0014] Furthermore, the winding and unwinding mechanism of the electric rope assembly includes a motor, a winding shaft, and a reduction gear set connected between the motor output shaft and the winding shaft. The front end of the wire rope is fixed to the bracket, and the rear end of the wire rope is wound around the winding shaft. The motor drives the winding shaft to rotate through the reduction gear set, which can wind the rear end of the wire rope onto the winding shaft, or release the wire rope from the winding shaft in conjunction with the pulling of the headgear.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] An embodiment of the massage chair with an electrically operated light-shielding head cover according to this utility model is as follows: Figure 1-8 As shown, The massage chair includes a main body 1, which includes a backrest and baffles 11 on both sides of the backrest. When the user uses the massage chair, the backrest provides support for the back of the user's head and other body parts. The baffles 11 are located on both sides of the user's body, covering the head area, and can be used to block side light. Of course, they also have a certain effect on blocking external sound. The massage chair main body 1 is equipped with a head cover mechanism, which includes a bracket 2, a head cover 3, and an electric pull rope assembly 4. The two ends of the bracket 2 are respectively fixed to the inner sides of the two baffles 11, and the lower end of the head cover 3 is rotatably connected to the bracket 2.
[0017] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, the distance between the front end of the headgear 3 and its rotating connection is greater than the distance between the rear end of the headgear 3 and its rotating connection. This design allows the front end of the headgear 3 to extend forward, covering the user's body as much as possible, thereby improving the light blocking effect. At the same time, it also makes the center of gravity of the headgear more forward, which is more conducive to closing naturally under the action of gravity. The electric pull rope assembly 4 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the headgear 3 and located behind the rotating connection between the headgear 3 and the bracket 2. The electric pull rope assembly 4 includes a steel wire rope 41 and a winding and releasing mechanism for winding and releasing the steel wire rope 41. The steel wire rope 41 is connected between the bracket 2 and the winding and releasing mechanism. The front end of the headgear 3 naturally rotates downward under the action of gravity. The angle of its downward rotation is limited by the length of the released steel wire rope 41. When the winding and releasing mechanism pulls the steel wire rope 41, it can drive the front end of the headgear 3 to rotate upward.
[0018] The support 2 is made of a U-shaped bent tube with an upward-protruding bulge in the middle. The bulge is connected and cooperates with the head cover 3 to maintain a certain distance between the head cover mechanism and the user, avoid head collision, increase the lower space, and improve comfort.
[0019] The lower end of the headgear 3 has a recessed structure, and the protrusion of the curved tube is embedded in the recess at the lower end of the headgear 3. The recessed structure not only makes the overall structure of the headgear mechanism more compact, but also improves its aesthetics. The recessed structure of the headgear 3 also increases the lower space, improving comfort.
[0020] The protrusion of the bent tube is formed by a horizontally placed first straight rod segment 21. There are at least two rotating connection areas between the head cover 3 and the first straight rod segment 21. The rotating connection area is the area where the head cover and the first straight rod segment 21 are connected, and it is also the area for support and force. The two rotating connection areas are distributed at intervals along the length direction of the first straight rod segment 21, so that the force between the head cover 3 and the support 2 is more uniform and the connection reliability is improved.
[0021] The head cover 3 and the first straight rod segment 21 are connected by a hinge 5, which has a simple structure and is easy to assemble. The specific structure of the hinge 5 includes two movable plates connected by two pivots.
[0022] A support base 6 is fixed on the first straight rod section 21, and a support pad 7 is fixed at the lower recess of the head cover 3. The two movable plates of the hinge 5 are fixed to the support base 6 and the support pad 7 respectively. The support base 6 and the support pad 7 can compensate for the problem of narrow contact area of the first straight rod section 21 and uneven contact surface at the lower end of the head cover 3, and can improve the connection and fixing effect of the movable plates of the hinge 5.
[0023] The bracket 2 has two vertically or obliquely placed second straight rod sections 22 at both ends. The inner sides of the two baffles 11 are respectively provided with support mechanisms. The support mechanism includes a base 81 connected to the baffle 11 and a side cover 82 connected to the base 81. The second straight rod section 22 is fixed on the base 81, and the side cover 82 is covered on the outside of the second straight rod section 22. The side cover 82 can cover the connection between the second straight rod section 22 and the base 81, improving the aesthetics.
[0024] The head cover mechanism includes a cover 91, which is fixed to the lower end of the head cover 3. The rotating connection between the support 2 and the head cover 3, and the electric pull rope assembly 4 are all covered between the cover 91 and the head cover 3. The cover 91 has through slots 911 on both sides for the first straight rod section 21 of the support 2 to pass through laterally. The cover 91 can prevent the connection between the head cover 3 and the support 2 from being exposed, preventing accidents such as pinching hands, hair, or scratching the skin. It can also improve the overall appearance of the head cover mechanism and thus enhance its aesthetics.
[0025] The lower end of the head cover 3 is provided with a handle 92, which is located in front of the rotating connection between the head cover 3 and the bracket 2, making it convenient for the user to push and pull the head cover 3.
[0026] The handle 92 and the head cover 3 are connected to form an inner cavity. The rear end of the handle 92 is provided with an opening 921 that connects to the inner cavity. The user's hand can be inserted into the inner cavity through the opening 921 to make it convenient to grip and apply force to the handle 92.
[0027] like Figure 8As shown, the winding and unwinding mechanism of the electric rope assembly 4 includes a motor 42, a winding shaft, and a reduction gear set connected between the output shaft of the motor 42 and the winding shaft. The winding shaft and the reduction gear set are located inside the housing 43 of the winding and unwinding mechanism. The front end of the wire rope 41 is fixed on the first straight rod section 21 of the bracket 2, and the rear end of the wire rope 41 is wound around the winding shaft. In order to ensure that the head cover 3 can be driven to rotate upward by the wire rope 41, the force direction between the wire rope 41 and the bracket 2 is deviated from the rotation axis of the head cover 3, that is, they are not on the same plane. The motor 42 drives the winding shaft to rotate through the reduction gear set, which can wind the rear end of the wire rope onto the winding shaft, or release the wire rope 41 from the winding shaft in conjunction with the pulling of the head cover 3. The reduction gear set can reduce the rotation of the winding shaft and increase its torque. The reduction gear set can be composed of multiple gears with different numbers of teeth, or it can be a worm gear.
[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the headgear 3 is in the closed state, that is, when the front end of the headgear 3 is in the lower position, the steel wire rope 41 released by the electric pull rope assembly 4 is relatively long and in a taut state. The steel wire rope 41 pulls the headgear 3 to keep it in a proper position and prevent the front end of the headgear 3 from falling under the action of gravity. When it is necessary to open the headgear 3, that is, when it is desired to drive the front end of the headgear 3 to rotate upward, the headgear 3 can be opened by manually operating the headgear 3 to rotate the front end upward. Since the front end of the headgear 3 will open, the portion of the steel wire rope 41 that has been released will be opened. The steel wire rope 41 becomes loose, so it will not affect the opening of the head cover 3. When the user needs to get off the massage chair quickly in a hurry, it is convenient to manually operate the head cover 3 to open it quickly. In addition, the head cover 3 can also be opened by electric control. When the retracting mechanism retracts the steel wire rope 41, it can pull the front end of the head cover 3 to rotate upward to open it. When it is necessary to close the head cover 3, the retracting mechanism can gradually release the steel wire rope 41 by electric control, and the front end of the head cover 3 will naturally rotate downward to close under the action of gravity.
[0029] The above embodiments are merely one preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Ordinary changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model's technical solution are all included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
