The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0018] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0019] Combination Figures 1 to 10In one embodiment, the compact massage device of this application includes a main support frame 1, an auxiliary support frame 2, a pushing airbag 3, a reset deformation member 4, a walking drive mechanism 5, a massage swing arm 6, a kneading drive mechanism 7, a tapping drive mechanism 8, a control box 9, and a protective cover P. The following description, in conjunction with the figures, will further illustrate the device. For ease of explanation, the X direction in the figures represents the massage device from right to left, the Y direction represents the massage device from back to front, and the Z direction represents the massage device from bottom to top.

[0020] [Main Support Frame] Combination Figures 4 to 9 The main support frame 1 is a thin plate that is generally flat in the front-to-back direction (it can also be adjusted to be a flat thin plate). A clearance space 1A is provided on the lower side of the main support frame 1. In this embodiment, there are two clearance spaces 1A, spaced apart in the left-to-right direction. The main support frame 1 includes a first region G1 located on the right side and a second region G2 located to the left of the first region G1. The first region G1 extends L1 in the left-to-right direction, and the second region G2 extends L2 in the left-to-right direction. The ratio of L1 to L2 can be between 1:3 and 1:6, for example, between 1:4. Figure 4 The first area G1 is used to configure the walking drive motor assembly 5A of the walking drive mechanism 5, and the second area G2 is used to configure the auxiliary support frame 2 and other functional components mounted on the auxiliary support frame 2. The rear side of the main support frame 1 is used to mount the control box 9.

[0021] [Auxiliary support frame] combined Figures 4 to 8 ,as well as Figure 10 The auxiliary support frame 2 is a thin plate that is generally flat in the front-to-back direction (it can also be adjusted to be a flat thin plate). Both the main support frame 1 and the auxiliary support frame 2 are thin plates, which helps to reduce the thickness of the massage device in the front-to-back direction. The dimensions of the auxiliary support frame 2 are adapted to the dimensions of the second region G2. Figure 10 The auxiliary support frame 2 has a rearwardly recessed clearance groove 2A at the center of its front side. The position of the clearance groove 2A corresponds to the position of the rear side of the massage arm 6. The clearance groove 2A provides the space required for the rearward movement of the massage arm 6. The presence of the clearance groove 2A helps to reduce the thickness of the massage device in the front-rear direction Y. The lower side of the auxiliary support frame 2 corresponds to the position of the clearance space 1A. The lower side of the auxiliary support frame 2 includes two mounting parts 2B, corresponding to the two clearance spaces 1A. The lower side of the auxiliary support frame 2 can swing back and forth and engage with the main support frame 1. Specifically, it engages with... Figure 5In this embodiment, a bearing K2 is mounted on the front side of the two mounting parts 2B. The bearing K2 is rotatably sleeved on the main travel axle 5B of the travel drive mechanism 5. In this way, the lower side of the auxiliary support frame 2 is rotatably mounted on the main travel axle 5B to swing back and forth relative to the main support frame 1. The clearance space 1A provides the space required for the lower side of the auxiliary support frame 2 to swing backward relative to the main support frame 1. If the clearance space 1A is not provided, in order to ensure that the lower side of the auxiliary support frame 2 is not interfered with by the main support frame 1 when swinging, the rotation center of the auxiliary support frame 2 needs to be moved forward relative to the main support frame 1, which will increase the thickness of the massage device in the front-back direction. The existence of the clearance space 1A helps to reduce the thickness of the massage device in the front-back direction.

[0022] [Insulation Airbag] The insulation airbag 3 serves as a strong and weak drive mechanism, used to push the auxiliary support frame 22 to swing back and forth relative to the main support frame 1. The insulation airbag 3 is installed between the main support frame 1 and the auxiliary support frame 2, combined with... Figure 3 The air inlet of the airbag 3 passes through the main support frame 1 and is located at the rear of the main support frame 1. When the airbag 3 inflates, it will cause the auxiliary support frame 2 to swing forward, and when it deflates and contracts, it will cause the auxiliary support frame 2 to swing backward.

[0023] [Reset Deformation Component] The reset deformation component 4 is installed between the main support frame 1 and the auxiliary support frame 2. The reset deformation component 4 is configured to elastically deform under the influence of the auxiliary support frame 2 when it swings forward, so as to assist in swinging the auxiliary support frame 2 backward when the airbag 3 deflates and contracts. In this embodiment, the reset deformation component 4 is a telescopic spring, and there are two springs spaced apart on the left and right. One end of the telescopic spring is hooked to the first hooking part T1 of the main support frame 1, and the other end is hooked to the second hooking part T2 of the auxiliary support frame 2.

Figure 4 The left-side massage arm (illustrated in diagram 6-1) is positioned such that the tapping drive motor assembly 8A extends along the left-right direction X. Figure 4 The kneading drive motor assembly 7A extends from the lower side of the transmission component configuration area G21 to the lower side of the kneading drive motor assembly 7A. The striking drive shaft 8B is located on the upper side of the two massage arms 6, with its central portion rotatably mounted on the auxiliary support frame 2 via a bearing K3. The striking transmission assembly 8C is vertically arranged within the transmission component configuration area G21. The striking drive motor assembly 8A drives the striking drive shaft 8B to rotate via the striking transmission assembly 8C. The kneading drive shaft 7B and the striking transmission assembly 8C are staggered in the transmission component configuration area G21 without interfering with each other. (Refer to...) Figure 8 The enlarged view of a local area A shows that the striking transmission component 8C is a pulley assembly, and the kneading drive shaft 7B passes through the belt of the pulley assembly. The left and right sides of the striking drive shaft 8B are connected to the support arms 6A of the two massage swing arms 6 via the striking linkage assembly 8D.
