Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of health care products technology, specifically a fascia ball. Background Technology

[0002] A fascia ball is a massage ball about the size of a badminton shuttlecock, used to massage the soles of the feet and stimulate acupoints, offering health and wellness benefits. The fascia ball helps restore sufficient water content to the fascia, reducing its viscosity and maintaining normal movement. It also promotes local blood circulation and relieves muscle spasms. Also called a massage ball, it relaxes muscles and fascia, relieves tightness and pain, and increases mobility and blood circulation. Primarily mimicking the elbow, it's suitable for use on smaller muscle groups, avoiding direct pressure on the bone while relaxing the muscles surrounding it.

[0003] With the improvement of living standards and the increase in work and study pressure, various modern lifestyle diseases are on the rise, and people urgently need a simple and effective natural therapy to improve sub-health conditions and prevent diseases. Health massage, as a traditional natural therapy, unblocks the body's meridians and blood circulation through specific techniques, not only relieving fatigue and strengthening the body, but also preventing diseases and prolonging life. Fascia balls, as a self-massage tool, effectively relax muscle tissue by rolling the ball over acupoints. However, existing fascia balls have significant shortcomings when massaging areas such as the shoulders and back: because they require the support of a wall and the body to achieve rolling massage, the ball is prone to slipping and the pressure is difficult to control precisely, thus reducing the massage effect.

[0004] Chinese Patent No. CN213130685U discloses a fascia ball with a fixing rope in the field of health care products. It includes a fascia ball, a fixing rope, and a suction cup. The fixing rope connects the fascia ball rope and the suction cup. The fascia ball is an elastic sphere with evenly distributed raised massage textures on its outer surface. A conical hole is formed on the sphere, and a hook for the fixing rope is located inside the hole. The fixing rope is connected to the hook, and the other end of the fixing rope is fixed to the suction cup. However, we found that most people simply stick the fascia ball to the wall and use it to support the fascia on their back. Since the ball's position sometimes needs adjustment, and it's only fixed to the wall at one end with a suction cup, adjusting it requires moving the back and readjusting the ball. After moving the back, the ball falls vertically due to gravity. Even after adjustment, the ball still doesn't align properly with the fascia, requiring multiple adjustments or having someone else adjust it. This affects the effectiveness of the fascia massage. Furthermore, constantly adjusting the position during the massage makes it difficult to focus on fascia relaxation.

[0005] Meanwhile, after multiple experiments, the applicant added traction ropes to both ends of the fascia ball and handholds to both ends of the traction ropes. For the above-mentioned use, the applicant can fix one end to an object and use the other end to control the position of the fascia ball. However, it was found that the length of the traction rope also limits the placement of the fascia ball. Therefore, based on the above problems, the applicant designed a fascia ball with better adjustment of massage position as described in this application. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the aforementioned technical difficulties and provide a fascia ball with better adjustable massage position.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted is as follows: a fascia ball, comprising a ball, two traction ropes symmetrically arranged on both sides of the ball, and a handhold portion provided at the end of each traction rope away from the ball, the handhold portion comprising a shell, and an adjustment structure provided inside the shell; The adjusting mechanism includes a bearing fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the outer casing. The outer wall of the outer casing away from the bearing has a rotating disk centered on the bearing. The inner ring of the bearing is fixedly fitted with a rotating shaft. The end of the rotating shaft away from the bearing passes through the outer casing and is fixedly connected to the center of the rotating disk. A rotating rod horizontal to the surface of the outer casing is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating disk. The surface of the outer casing has multiple limiting grooves distributed with the rotating disk as the center. The end of the rotating rod is provided with a limiting rod inserted into the limiting groove. The end of the traction rope away from the ball passes through the outer casing and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner wall of the limiting groove is provided with threads, the end of the rotating rod is provided with a through hole, the limiting rod is slidably connected in the through hole, and the outer wall of the limiting rod is provided with threads corresponding to the limiting groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the end of the handheld part away from the traction rope is provided with an arc-shaped ring, and the inner wall of the arc-shaped ring is set to the gripping curve of the human hand.

[0010] Furthermore, the surface of the sphere is provided with multiple granular spherical protrusions, the diameter of which is 6-8 cm.

[0011] Furthermore, the raised surface has a frosted texture.

[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above solution are as follows: When using this fascia ball, hold the two handpieces with both hands respectively, and place the ball on the wall in the posture of rubbing the back. Pull up and down the traction rope to adjust the position of the ball, or fix one handpiece to a chair or other equipment and adjust the position of the ball by pulling the other handpiece. In addition to the above applications, adjustments can be made for patients with different arm lengths or those requiring different lengths of traction rope. This is achieved by rotating a lever on the outer shell of the handheld unit. The lever rotates a rotating disc, which in turn rotates a rotating shaft. This shaft then pulls the traction rope, thus controlling its length. After adjustment, the limiting rod at the end of the lever is inserted into a limiting groove on the outer shell to lock the shaft and prevent further pulling of the traction rope. Overall, adjusting the ball's position is more convenient and accurate, and it allows for independent myofascial massage, reducing the inconvenience of frequent adjustments. This makes it particularly suitable for long-term rehabilitation training, balancing comfort and efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. The described embodiments are merely some, not all, of these embodiments. 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.

[0019] Example 1 like Figures 1-4 A fascia ball includes a sphere, two traction ropes symmetrically arranged at the left and right ends of the sphere, and a handhold 3 is provided at the end of each traction rope 2 away from the sphere 1. The handhold 3 includes a shell 9, and an adjustment structure is provided inside the shell 9. The adjustment mechanism includes a bearing 10 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the outer shell 9. A rotating disk 5 with the bearing 10 as the center is provided on the outer wall of the outer shell 9 away from the bearing 10. A rotating shaft 11 is fixedly fitted on the inner ring of the bearing 10. One end of the rotating shaft 11 away from the bearing 10 passes through the outer shell 9 and is fixedly connected to the center of the rotating disk 5. A rotating rod 7 with the surface of the outer shell 9 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating disk 5. A plurality of limiting grooves 8 distributed with the rotating disk 5 as the center are opened on the surface of the outer shell 9. A limiting rod 6 inserted into the limiting groove 8 is provided at the end of the rotating rod 7. The traction rope 2 away from the ball 1 passes through the outer shell 9 and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 11.

[0020] The specific implementation method is as follows: When using this fascia ball, hold the two hand-held parts 3 with both hands respectively, and place the ball 1 on the wall in the posture of rubbing the back. Pull up and pull down the traction rope 2 to adjust the position of the ball 1, or fix one end of the hand-held part 3 to a chair or other equipment, and adjust the position of the ball 1 by pulling the other end of the hand-held part 3. In addition to the above applications, for patients with different arm lengths or those requiring different lengths of traction rope 2, adjustments can be made independently. This is achieved by rotating the rotating rod 7 on the surface of the outer shell 9 of the handheld part 3. The rotating rod 7 drives the rotating disk 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 11 then pulls the traction rope 2, thus controlling its length. After adjustment, the limiting rod 6 at the end of the rotating rod 7 is inserted into the limiting groove 8 on the surface of the outer shell 9, locking the rotating shaft 11 and preventing the traction rope 2 from being pulled again. Overall, adjusting the position of the ball 1 is more convenient and accurate, and it allows for independent myofascial massage, reducing the inconvenience of frequent adjustments. This makes it particularly suitable for long-term rehabilitation training, balancing comfort and efficiency.

[0021] In practice, the traction rope 2 can be adjusted in length according to different usage environments through the above applications, making it more adaptable and expanding its application range. Excess length of the traction rope 2 can also be rotated and placed inside the outer casing 9 through the rotating shaft 11, thus improving the overall practicality of the fascia ball.

[0022] Example 2 Based on Embodiment 1, considering the connection stability between the limiting groove 8 and the limiting rod 6, the applicant provided threads on the inner wall of the limiting groove 8, a through hole at the end of the rotating rod 7, and the limiting rod 6 was slidably connected within the through hole. The outer wall of the limiting rod 6 was also provided with threads corresponding to the limiting groove 8. This configuration resulted in a more stable connection between the limiting rod 6 and the limiting groove 8, and a more stable control effect on the length of the traction rope 2.

[0023] Example 3 Based on the above embodiments, the applicant considered that when a user operates the sphere 1 with both hands simultaneously, such as... Figure 1The applicant has provided an arc-shaped ring 4 at the end of the handgrip 3 furthest from the traction rope 2. The inner wall of the arc-shaped ring 4 is designed to conform to the grip curve of the human hand. After application, the symmetrical handles on both sides conform to the grip curve of the hand, providing a stable force fulcrum, preventing rolling, and enhancing the user's control over force and direction.

[0024] Example 4 Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 1 The applicant has designed the surface of the sphere 1 with multiple granular spherical protrusions, specifically with a diameter of 6-8 cm. This design reduces force deviation and prevents uncontrolled rolling. The surface of the protrusions has a frosted texture. After application, the frosted texture on the surface of the sphere 1 enhances friction, allowing the sphere 1 to maintain positional stability even during dynamic operation. The frosted surface treatment creates a uniformly distributed granular texture, significantly increasing friction with skin or clothing and reducing slippage.

[0025] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.

[0026] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
