Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of home appliance technology, and in particular to a massage disc, massage device and foot bath tub. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, more and more people are investing in their health, and massage devices designed to relieve fatigue in areas such as the neck, shoulders, feet, and lower back are becoming increasingly popular. However, in some technologies, the raised structures on these massage devices often cannot independently adjust their massage intensity, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0014] In some embodiments, the top cover is further provided with at least two limiting ribs that correspond one-to-one with at least two limiting holes, and each massage member abuts against each limiting rib to limit the height of each massage member protruding from the top cover.

[0015] In some embodiments, at least two of the massage members are spherical, and the diameter of the limiting hole is not greater than the diameter of the spherical part of the massage member. And / or, at least two of the massage members are cylindrical, and the top dimension of the cylindrical part is smaller than the bottom dimension of the cylindrical part, and the diameter of the limiting hole is larger than the top dimension of the cylindrical part and smaller than the bottom dimension of the cylindrical part.

[0016] In some embodiments, the cover assembly is disc-shaped, and the bottom cover further has a rotating connection portion located on the axis of the disc, with each limiting groove disposed around the rotating connection portion along the circumference of the bottom cover. And / or, the cover assembly is disc-shaped, and the massage plate further includes an anti-slip member protruding from the top cover along the axis of the disc, and the anti-slip member is disposed higher than the massage assembly along the thickness direction of the cover assembly.

Detailed Implementation

[0043] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0044] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, height, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly.

[0045] As living standards improve, more and more people are paying attention to their health, and massage devices used to relieve fatigue in areas such as the shoulders, neck, feet, and waist are becoming increasingly popular among consumers.

[0046] Taking foot bath tubs as an example, foot bath tubs typically have heating and foot massage functions to promote blood circulation, relieve plantar fascia tension, and allow users to relax and achieve health and wellness goals. In related technologies, the massage device inside the foot bath tub includes massage discs, each with several raised structures. When the user's foot steps on a massage disc, the raised structures on the disc rotate to stimulate acupoints on the soles of the feet, providing a foot massage.

[0047] However, in related technologies, the raised structures on the massage discs all use massage balls of uniform height. This results in all massage balls exerting the same massage pressure on the user's soles, failing to provide varying depths of massage to the meridians and acupoints on the soles, leading to a poor user experience. While some related technologies use massage balls of varying sizes to provide different levels of foot massage intensity, during the rotation of these differently sized massage balls, the arch of the foot is often concave. Smaller massage balls often fail to effectively contact the arch, while larger massage balls cause excessive pressure on areas other than the arch. Furthermore, excessive pressure from the user can lead to foot sprains or the massage disc becoming stuck, resulting in a poor user experience. Therefore, the raised massage structures on the massage discs in these related technologies cannot flexibly adjust the massage intensity to the target area, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0048] Based on this, this application provides a massage disc, in which each massage component can flexibly adjust the massage intensity on the massaged area, enhancing the user's massage experience. It is understood that the massage disc provided in this application is not limited to foot baths, but can also be used with any massage device where the user needs the individual massage components to flexibly adjust their massage intensity, such as neck massage devices, shoulder massage devices, waist massage devices, and leg massage devices, etc., and this application makes no limitation in this regard.

[0049] The massage disc provided in this application will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0050] See Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a massage disc 11, including a cover assembly 111, an elastic component 113, and a massage component 112. The cover assembly 111 has at least two limiting grooves 1111 formed along its thickness direction. The elastic component 113 includes at least two elastic members corresponding to the at least two limiting grooves 1111, each elastic member located within its respective limiting groove 1111. The massage component 112 includes at least two massage elements corresponding to the at least two limiting grooves 1111, each massage element having a top protruding from its respective limiting groove 1111 and a bottom located within its respective limiting groove 1111. Each massage element is movably disposed relative to its respective limiting groove 1111, allowing the bottom of each massage element to press against its respective elastic member.

[0051] It should be noted that the massage plate 11 can be installed in a massage device. The cover assembly 111 can be connected to the massage device and supports the elastic component 113 and the massage component 112. The massage component 112 can contact the area where the user needs massage. After the massage component 112 presses against the user's massage area, the elastic component 113 can be squeezed by the massage component 112 to generate elasticity and provide a reaction force to the massage component 112, allowing the massage component 112 to apply pressure and massage the user's massage area using this reaction force.

[0052] Specifically, the thickness direction of the cover assembly 111 can be set along the vertical direction shown in the figure. When the massage disc 11 is installed inside the foot bath tub 1, the thickness direction of the cover assembly 111 can be set along the depth direction of the foot bath tub 1 to facilitate foot massage by the user stepping on the massage disc 11. Understandably, the number of limiting grooves 1111 provided in the cover assembly 111 can be set according to usage requirements, such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc., and this application does not impose any limitation. The elastic component 113 includes the same number of elastic elements as the number of limiting grooves 1111, so that each limiting groove 1111 has an elastic element. The massage component 112 includes the same number of massage elements as the number of limiting grooves 1111, so that each limiting groove 1111 has a massage element. With this configuration, in the massage disc 11 provided in this application, each massage component has its own corresponding elastic element, and each massage component can independently massage the massage area according to the reaction force provided by its corresponding elastic element, so that each massage component can flexibly adjust the massage intensity on the massage area, thereby improving the user's massage experience.

[0053] Each massage element within the limiting groove 1111 has a top protruding from the limiting groove 1111 and a bottom located within the limiting groove 1111. Each massage element is movably positioned relative to its respective limiting groove 1111, allowing for both a used and unused state. In the unused state, the top of the massage element naturally protrudes from the limiting groove 1111 to facilitate contact with the user's massage area. The bottom of the massage element prevents it from disengaging from the limiting groove 1111. In the used state, the top of each massage element presses against the user's massage area, pressing at least a portion of the top into the limiting groove 1111. This causes the bottom of each massage element to move towards the bottom wall of the limiting groove 1111, compressing the elastic elements and generating elasticity. Thus, each massage element, with the aid of the reaction force from the elastic elements, applies a corresponding massage intensity to the user's massage area, enhancing the user's massage experience. Understandably, the elastic forces generated by each elastic element can be the same or different, so that the massage force applied by each massage element to the massage area can be the same or different, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0054] It should also be noted that, in addition to providing a reaction force to the massage device to apply corresponding massage intensity to the user's massage area, the elastic components can also deform elastically to fully conform to the user's massage area during the pressing process, adapting to the curves of the user's massage area (such as conforming to the arch curve of the user's foot) for effective massage. Furthermore, the elastic components can also buffer the pain sensation caused by the massage device, preventing sharp pain from excessive pressure on the massage device and avoiding tissue damage to the user's massage area.

[0055] Thus, during use, the massage disc 11 provided in this application can be installed on a massage device, which can drive the massage disc 11 to rotate, allowing each massage element on the massage disc 11 to rotate relative to the user's massage area. This means each massage element can take turns contacting the user's massage area to perform a massage. Because each massage element corresponds and presses against each elastic element, each massage element can apply massage force to the massage area according to the reaction force provided by its respective elastic element. In other words, each massage element can flexibly and independently apply its own massage force to the user's massage area, thereby enhancing the user's massage experience.

[0056] Of course, the massage plate 11 provided in this application may not rotate relative to the user's massage area during use. In this case, the user only needs to press the massage area against each massage element on the massage plate 11 in sequence, or the user can completely cover each massage element with the massage area, so that each massage element and each elastic element are pressed together. Each massage element uses the reaction force provided by its respective elastic element to act on at least two areas of the massage area. For example, taking the user's foot as the massage area, the user can step on the massage plate 11, so that each massage element and each elastic element are pressed together. Some of the massage elements can massage the arch of the foot, and other massage elements can massage the sole of the foot. Understandably, since the arch of the foot is usually higher than the ball of the foot, the pressure between the massage element and the corresponding elastic element at the arch is less than that between the massage element and the corresponding elastic element at the ball of the foot. This allows the massage disc 11 to provide massage of varying depths to the user's arch and ball of the foot. Furthermore, each massage element, supported by its own elastic element, can conform to the curves of the arch and ball of the foot, preventing excessive pressure on the sole and enhancing the user's massage experience.

[0057] Understandably, users can choose to use the massage disc 11 in either a rotating or non-rotating manner according to their needs, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0058] See Figure 1In some embodiments, to facilitate the installation of each massage element and each elastic element onto the cover assembly 111, the cover assembly 111 includes a bottom cover 1112 and a top cover 1113 connected to the bottom cover 1112. At least two limiting grooves 1111 are provided on the bottom cover 1112, and the top cover 1113 is provided with at least two limiting holes 1114 corresponding one-to-one with the at least two limiting grooves 1111. The top of each massage element protrudes from the top cover 1113 through each limiting hole 1114.

[0059] It should be noted that the bottom cover 1112 and the top cover 1113 can be detachably connected to facilitate the installation and replacement of each massage component and elastic component. Understandably, the detachable connection between the bottom cover 1112 and the top cover 1113 is not limited to bolted connections, threaded connections, or snap-fit ​​connections.

[0060] The bottom cover 1112 supports the elastic elements and massage elements, while the top cover 1113 limits the height of the portion of each massage element protruding from the limiting hole 1114. For example, the protrusions of each massage element from the limiting hole 1114 may be of the same height, or they may be of different heights. Understandably, the height of each massage element protruding from the limiting hole 1114 affects the depth to which it can be pressed into the limiting groove 1111, thus affecting the degree of compression on the elastic elements. In other words, if the height of the portion of each massage element protruding from the limiting hole 1114 increases sequentially, the depth to which the massage element can be pressed into the limiting groove 1111 by the massage area increases sequentially, thereby increasing the degree of compression on the elastic elements and thus increasing the elastic force generated by each elastic element, thereby enriching the massage intensity. Understandably, the height of each massage element protruding from the limiting hole 1114 can be set according to actual usage requirements, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0061] Furthermore, since the top cover 1113 can limit the movement of each massage component, when assembling the massage disc 11, each elastic component can be directly placed in the limiting groove 1111 of the bottom cover 1112, and then each massage component can be placed into the limiting groove 1111 and positioned above the elastic component, so that each massage component can compress the elastic component. Afterwards, the top cover 1113 and the bottom cover 1112 are connected and fastened, so that each massage component can protrude from the top cover 1113 through the limiting holes 1114. In this way, this application does not require additional connecting structures for connecting elastic components in each massage component or each limiting groove 1111, so that the elastic component, the limiting groove 1111, and the massage component can maintain independence and facilitate maintenance and replacement.

[0062] In some embodiments, at least two of the massage members provided in this application are spherical, and the diameter of the limiting hole 1114 is not larger than the diameter of the sphere of the massage member, so as to limit the massage member. It is understood that when the massage member is spherical, the spherical massage member can rotate flexibly within the limiting hole 1114. Thus, during the overall rotation of the massage disc 11, each massage member can also rotate within its respective limiting hole 1114, thereby enabling rolling massage of the massage area. Furthermore, each massage member can be spherical of the same size or spherical of different sizes; this application does not impose any limitations.

[0063] In some embodiments, at least two of the massage members provided in this application are configured as cylindrical, with the top dimension of the cylindrical shape being smaller than the bottom dimension, and the diameter of the limiting hole 1114 being larger than the top dimension and smaller than the bottom dimension of the cylindrical shape, in order to limit the massage member. It is understood that when the massage member is configured as cylindrical, unlike a spherical massage member, the cylindrical massage member can apply deep pressure in the vertical direction to the massage area, increasing the stimulation intensity.

[0064] Of course, some of the massage components can be spherical and others can be cylindrical; this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0065] In some embodiments, when the elastic modulus of each elastic element is the same, and the deformation produced by each elastic element is the same, each elastic element can generate the same elastic force and provide the same reaction force to each massage element, so that each massage element applies the same massage force to the massage area. For example, when each elastic element uses a spring of the same specification, and when each massage element has the same shape and size, and each massage element can be pressed into each limiting groove to the same depth, each elastic element can have the same deformation, thereby generating the same elastic force, so that each massage element can provide a uniform massage force to the massage area.

[0066] In some embodiments, each elastic element can generate different elastic forces, enabling each massage element to provide massage intensities of varying depths to the massage area, thus providing the user with multiple massage stimuli and enriching the user's massage experience. For example, when each elastic element is set to the same specification, at least two of the massage elements move different distances along the depth direction of each limiting groove 1111, allowing at least two of the massage elements to exert different degrees of pressure on each elastic element, thereby generating at least two types of elastic forces. As an example, when each elastic element is set to different specifications, each massage element can also move the same distance along the depth direction of each limiting groove 1111, but at least two of the elastic elements have different lengths, thus also enabling each elastic element to exert different degrees of pressure, and thereby generating at least two types of elastic forces. It is understood that there are various ways to generate at least two types of elastic forces, and this application does not limit this. Accordingly, the compression of each massage component with each elastic component can produce two, three, four, or five types of elasticity, that is, the elasticity produced by each elastic component can also be different, in order to enrich the user's massage experience. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0067] The following application will describe how each massage device provides different massage intensities to different massage areas.

[0068] In some embodiments, in order to enable each elastic element to generate at least two elastic forces, this application enables at least two elastic elements to have different deformations during the compression of each elastic element by each massage element, so as to generate at least two elastic forces.

[0069] It should be noted that, according to the elastic force formula, when elastic elements have the same elastic coefficient, the elastic force generated by the elastic element is positively correlated with the deformation of the elastic element; that is, the greater the deformation of the elastic element, the greater the elastic force generated. Understandably, elastic elements can include components capable of generating elastic force, such as springs or silicone parts.

[0070] Understandably, the deformation of some elastic elements can be smaller than that of others, thus generating two types of elastic force. These two types of elastic force can be arranged alternately to create massage intensities of varying depths. Of course, the deformation of each elastic element can also be different, so that each element generates different elastic force, enriching the massage intensity; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0071] In some embodiments, factors affecting the deformation of the elastic elements include the distance between each massage element and the bottom wall of each limiting groove 1111 and / or the length of each elastic element itself. In other words, to ensure that at least two of the elastic elements have different deformations, at least two of the elastic elements in this application have different lengths. And / or, along the thickness direction of the cover assembly 111, at least two of the massage elements in this application have different distances to the bottom wall of each limiting groove 1111.

[0072] Understandably, the deformation of each elastic element is related not only to its own length but also to the distance between each massage element and each limiting groove 1111. For example, if the distance between each massage element and each limiting groove 1111 is the same, and the length of each elastic element increases sequentially, the deformation of each elastic element caused by the compression of each massage element also increases sequentially, thereby increasing the elastic force generated by each elastic element to provide the user with a massage experience of varying intensity. Conversely, if the distance between each massage element and each limiting groove 1111 decreases sequentially when the length of each elastic element is the same, the deformation of each elastic element caused by the compression of each massage element increases sequentially, resulting in a sequential increase in the elastic force generated by each elastic element. Furthermore, the reaction force exerted by each elastic element on each massage element also increases sequentially, thus increasing the massage intensity provided by each massage element to the user, thereby creating a massage experience of varying intensity.

[0073] See Figures 2 to 4 To ensure that at least two of the elastic elements have different deformations, the following example illustrates this by showing that at least two of the elastic elements have different lengths.

[0074] At least two limiting grooves 1111 include a first limiting groove 1111a and a second limiting groove 1111b spaced apart from each other. At least two massage members include a first massage member 1121 located in the first limiting groove 1111a and a second massage member 1122 located in the second limiting groove 1111b. At least two elastic members include a first elastic member 1131 and a second elastic member 1132. The first elastic member 1131 is located between the first limiting groove 1111a and the first massage member 1121, allowing the top of the first massage member 1121 to extend out of the first limiting groove 1111a. The second elastic member 1132 is located between the second limiting groove 1111b and the second massage member 1122, allowing at least a portion of the second massage member 1122 to extend out of the second limiting groove 1111b. When the massage elements are not in contact with the massage area, the height at which each massage element protrudes from each limiting hole 1114 can be set to be the same, so that each massage element can be pressed into each limiting groove 1111 to the same depth by the massage area. Simultaneously, the distance between the bottom of the first massage element 1121 and the bottom wall of the first limiting groove 1111a is set as a first spacing L1, and the distance between the bottom of the second massage element 1122 and the bottom wall of the second limiting groove 1111b is set as a second spacing L2. When the first spacing L1 and the second spacing L2 are equal, the length of the first elastic element 1131 is set to be less than the length of the second elastic element 1132. Thus, when each massage element is pressed by the massage area, the depth to which each massage element enters each limiting groove 1111 is the same, and the distance the bottom of each massage element moves towards the bottom wall of each limiting groove 1111 is the same. However, since the length of the second elastic element 1132 is greater than the length of the first elastic element 1131, it is equivalent to compressing elastic elements of different initial lengths to the same length, causing the compression deformation of the second elastic element 1132 to be greater than that of the first elastic element 1131. Thus, if the elastic modulus of the second elastic element 1132 is not less than that of the first elastic element 1131, the elastic force generated by the second elastic element 1132 will be greater than that generated by the first elastic element 1131. Understandably, each massage element can be configured as a massage ball of the same size.

[0075] When the massage disc 11 is used in the foot bath tub 1, when the user's foot presses down on each massage component, each massage component is pressed downward into its respective limiting groove 1111. At this time, because the compression deformation of the second elastic component 1132 is greater than that of the first elastic component 1131, the elastic force generated by the second elastic component 1132 is greater than that generated by the first elastic component 1131, and the massage force of the second massage component 1122 on the sole of the foot is greater than that of the first massage component 1121 on the sole of the foot. When the drive system 13 inside the foot bath tub 1 drives the massage disc 11 to rotate, the first massage component 1121 and the second massage component 1122 can rotate sequentially to different acupoints on the sole of the foot, thereby providing a massage experience with varying depths of pressure to each acupoint, continuously changing the massage stimulation, and improving the user's foot massage experience.

[0076] See Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, in order to facilitate limiting the height of each massage element protruding from each limiting hole 1114, the top cover 1113 is also provided with at least two limiting ribs 1115 corresponding to at least two limiting holes 1114. Each massage element abuts against each limiting rib 1115 to limit the height of each massage element protruding from the top cover 1113.

[0077] As an example, at least two limiting ribs 1115 include a first limiting rib 1115a corresponding to the first limiting hole 1114a and a second limiting rib 1115b corresponding to the second limiting hole 1114b. The first massage member 1121 abuts against the first limiting rib 1115a, and the second massage member 1122 abuts against the second limiting rib 1115b. The first limiting rib 1115a and the second limiting rib 1115b may both protrude from the outer surface of the top cover 1113 or both protrude from the inner surface of the top cover 1113, so that the first limiting rib 1115a and the second limiting rib 1115b can restrict the first massage member 1121 and the second massage member 1122 to the same height. Understandably, the inner surface of the top cover 1113 refers to the side of the top cover 1113 facing the bottom wall of the limiting groove 1111, and the outer surface of the top cover 1113 refers to the side opposite to the inner surface. For example, the inner surface of the top cover 1113 is positioned facing downwards in the figure, and the outer surface of the top cover 1113 is positioned facing upwards in the figure. This application does not restrict the setting of each limiting rib 1115.

[0078] To ensure that at least two of the elastic elements have different deformations, the following example illustrates that at least two of the massage elements have different distances to each limiting groove 1111.

[0079] Example 1: The distance between the bottom of each massage element and the bottom wall of each limiting groove 1111 can be set differently. With this setting, when the length of each elastic element is the same and the top of each massage element is not pressing against the massage area, as the distance between the bottom of each massage element and the bottom wall of each limiting groove 1111 decreases sequentially, the deformation of each elastic element under compression increases sequentially, thereby increasing the elastic force generated by each elastic element sequentially.

[0080] Understandably, when the distance between the bottom of each massage element and the bottom wall of each limiting groove 1111 is set differently, the length of each elastic element can be set to be the same, so that each elastic element can be located within different spacings, thereby generating different compression deformations. Of course, the length of each elastic element can also be negatively correlated with the distance between the bottom of each massage element and the bottom wall of each limiting groove 1111, that is, the distance between the bottom of each massage element and the bottom wall of each limiting groove 1111 decreases sequentially, and the length of each elastic element increases sequentially, which can also cause the compression deformation of each elastic element to increase sequentially, forming different elastic forces. This application does not limit this.

[0081] Furthermore, when the distance between the bottom of each massage element and the bottom wall of each limiting groove 1111 can be set differently, the top of each massage element can also be at the same height. Of course, the tops of each massage element can also be at different heights, and the height of the top of each massage element is positively correlated with the distance between the bottom of each massage element and the bottom wall of each limiting groove 1111. That is, the greater the distance between the bottom of each massage element and the bottom wall of each limiting groove 1111, the higher the top of each massage element. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0082] In some embodiments, the distance between the bottom of each massage member and the bottom wall of each limiting groove 1111 is different along the thickness direction of the cover assembly 111, including at least one of the following:

[0083] (1) At least two of the limiting grooves 1111 have different bottom wall heights.

[0084] (2) At least two of the massage pieces have different bottom lengths.

[0085] Understandably, when the bottom wall heights of at least two of the limiting grooves 1111 are different, the bottom dimensions of each massage component can be set to be the same. This can be achieved by setting the bottom walls of each limiting groove 1111 to be uneven, forming limiting grooves 1111 of varying depths. In this case, each massage component can be set as a massage ball of the same size.

[0086] When at least two of the massage components have different bottom lengths, the bottom wall height of each limiting groove 1111 can be set to be the same; simply make sure the bottom of each massage component is of different sizes. In this case, each massage component can be set as a massage ball of different sizes.

[0087] Of course, the depth of each limiting groove 1111 can also be adjusted simultaneously with the bottom size of each massage piece so that the distance between the bottom of each massage piece and the bottom wall of each limiting groove 1111 is different, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0088] See Figure 6 This section explains how to set different bottom wall heights for at least two of the limiting grooves. This configuration allows for identical specifications for both the elastic elements and the massage components. With the groove opening heights being identical and the tops of the massage components not pressing against the massage area, as the bottom wall heights of the limiting grooves increase sequentially, the deformation of the compressed elastic elements increases sequentially, thus allowing the elastic force generated by each elastic element to increase sequentially. It can be understood that the bottom wall height direction of each limiting groove is along... Figure 3 The thickness direction of the cover assembly is shown in the diagram. Figure 3 Up and down direction.

[0089] exist Figure 6In the massage disc 11 shown, each elastic element can be a spring of the same specification. The shape and size of each massage element can be the same, and the top of each massage element can be at the same height, allowing each massage element to be pressed into each limiting groove to the same depth. At this time, since at least two of the limiting grooves have different bottom wall heights, the depths of the limiting grooves can be different. For example, if the depth d1 of the first limiting groove 1111a is less than the depth d2 of the second limiting groove 1111b, then, when the shape and size of each massage element can be the same, the first distance L1 between the bottom of the first massage element 1121 and the bottom wall of the first limiting groove 1111a is less than the second distance L2 between the bottom of the second massage element and the bottom wall of the second limiting groove 1111b. At this time, when each elastic element can be a spring of the same specification, the compression deformation of the first elastic element located at the first distance L1 is greater than the compression deformation of the second elastic element located at the second distance L2. Therefore, the elastic force generated by the first elastic element is greater than that generated by the second elastic element, resulting in a greater massage intensity from the first massage element compared to the second massage element, thus allowing the user to experience massage intensities of varying depths. Figure 6 Each massage component can be configured as a massage ball of the same size. Of course, in other embodiments, the size of each massage component can also be set differently, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0090] See Figure 7 The following explanation addresses the issue of setting different bottom lengths for at least two of the massage components. With this configuration, assuming all elastic elements have the same specifications, all limiting grooves have the same bottom wall height, and the tops of each massage component are not pressed against the massage area, as the bottom lengths of each massage component increase sequentially, the deformation of each elastic element increases sequentially, thereby allowing the elastic force generated by each elastic element to increase sequentially. It can be understood that the bottom length of each massage component along... Figure 3 The thickness direction of the cover assembly is shown in the diagram. Figure 3 Up and down direction.

[0091] exist Figure 7In the massage disc 11 shown, each elastic element can be a spring of the same specification. Each limiting groove can be of the same depth, and the top of each massage element can be at the same height, allowing each massage element to be pressed into the limiting groove to the same depth. In this case, since at least two of the massage elements have different bottom lengths, the distance from the bottom of each massage element to the bottom wall of each limiting groove can be different. For example, if the bottom length of the first massage element 1121 is less than the bottom length of the second massage element 1122, then, with the limiting grooves of the same depth, the first distance L1 between the bottom of the first massage element 1121 and the bottom wall of the first limiting groove 1111a is greater than the second distance L2 between the bottom of the second massage element and the bottom wall of the second limiting groove 1111b. In this case, when each elastic element can be a spring of the same specification, the compression deformation of the first elastic element located at the first distance L1 is less than the compression deformation of the second elastic element located at the second distance L2. Therefore, the elastic force generated by the first elastic element is less than that generated by the second elastic element, resulting in a lower massage intensity from the first massage element compared to the second massage element, thus allowing the user to experience massage intensities of varying depths. Figure 7 Each massage component can be configured as a massage ball of different sizes. Of course, in other embodiments, Figure 7 The tops of each massage component can be set to the same shape and size, as long as the bottom lengths of each massage component are different.

[0092] In addition to the above-mentioned Example 1, the distance between the bottom of each massage piece and the bottom wall of each limiting groove is set differently so that at least two of the elastic pieces have different deformations. This application also provides Example 2, which can make at least two of the elastic pieces have different deformations. Example 2 will be described below.

[0093] Example 2: At least two of the massage components have different heights protruding from their respective limiting grooves, allowing each massage component to be pressed into the limiting groove 1111 to different depths. With this configuration, assuming all elastic components have the same length and the distance from the bottom of each massage component to the bottom wall of each limiting groove 1111 is equal, increasing the height of each massage component's protrusion from its respective limiting groove sequentially increases the depth to which each massage component can be pressed into the limiting groove 1111. This, in turn, increases the deformation of each elastic component under compression, and consequently, increases the elastic force generated by each elastic component.

[0094] See Figure 8 ,exist Figure 8In the massage disc 11 shown, each elastic element can be a spring of the same specification. Each massage element can be a massage ball of different sizes, and the bottom length of each massage element can be the same, but the top of each massage element is at a different height. For example, if the height h1 of the first massage element 1121 protruding from the first limiting groove 1111a is less than the height h2 of the second massage element 1122 protruding from the second limiting groove 1111b, then the depth to which the second massage element 1122 can be pressed into the second limiting groove 1111b is greater than the depth to which the first massage element 1121 can be pressed into the first limiting groove 1111a. When the first massage element and the second massage element are pressed against the massage area, since the depth h2 of the second massage element 1122 being pressed into the groove is greater than the depth h1 of the first massage element 1121 being pressed into the groove, the compression deformation of the second massage element 1122 on the second elastic element is greater than the compression deformation of the first massage element 1121 on the first elastic element. Therefore, the elastic force generated by the second elastic element is greater than that generated by the first elastic element, resulting in a greater massage intensity from the second massage element compared to the first massage element. This allows the user to experience massage intensities of varying depths. Figure 8 Each massage component can be configured as a massage ball of different sizes. Of course, in other embodiments, Figure 8 The bottom of each massage component can be set to the same shape and size, as long as the top of each massage component protrudes from the limiting groove at different heights. This application does not impose any restrictions.

[0095] It should be noted that making at least two of the elastic elements have different deformations is not limited to the methods provided in Examples 1 and 2 of this application. In addition, changing the deformation of the elastic elements can be achieved by simply making the dimensions of the massage elements different, or simply making the depths of the limiting grooves different, or simply making the lengths of the elastic elements different, or by setting the relationship between the dimensions of the massage elements, the depths of the limiting grooves, and the lengths of the elastic elements in a coordinated manner. These methods will not be elaborated upon here.

[0096] See Figures 9 to 12 The present application also provides a specific embodiment in which at least two of the elastic elements have different deformations, for the purpose of understanding.

[0097] exist Figures 9 to 12In the massage disc 11 shown, each massage element can be configured as a massage ball of the same size, and the first spacing L1 is set to be smaller than the second spacing L2, that is, the distance between the bottom of the first massage element 1121 and the bottom wall of the first limiting groove 1111a is smaller than the distance between the bottom of the second massage element 1122 and the bottom wall of the second limiting groove 1111b. The length of the first elastic element 1131 is set to be equal to the length of the second elastic element 1132, and when each massage element is not in contact with the massage area, the height of the top of the first massage element 1121 is lower than the height of the top of the second massage element 1122. Thus, when the top of each massage element is not in contact with the massage area, elastic elements of the same initial length are located between different spacings to produce different compression deformations, that is, the compression deformation produced by the second elastic element 1132 is less than the compression deformation produced by the first elastic element 1131, and the elastic force produced by the second elastic element 1132 is less than the elastic force produced by the first elastic element 1131.

[0098] Thus, when each massage element is pressed by the massage area, the reaction force from the second elastic element 1132 to the second massage element 1122 is less than the reaction force from the first elastic element 1131 to the first massage element 1121. When the massage disc 11 is used in the foot bath tub 1, the drive system 13 inside the foot bath tub 1 can drive the massage disc 11 to rotate, allowing the first massage element 1121 and the second massage element 1122 to rotate sequentially to different acupoints on the sole of the foot, thereby providing a massage experience with varying depths of pressure to each acupoint, continuously changing the massage stimulation, and improving the user's foot massage experience.

[0099] See Figure 11 and Figure 12 To ensure that the tops of each massage component are at different heights, the first limiting rib 1115a of the top cover 1113 is positioned lower than the second limiting rib 1115b. When the first massage component 1121 presses against the first limiting rib 1115a, and the second massage component 1122 presses against the second limiting rib 1115b, the second massage component 1122 is positioned higher than the first massage component 1121.

[0100] Understandably, the first limiting rib 1115a may protrude downward toward the top cover 1113, and the second limiting rib 1115b may protrude upward toward the top cover 1113, so that the second massage member 1122 is positioned higher than the first massage member 1121.

[0101] Furthermore, in other embodiments, when each massage element is configured as a massage ball of the same size, the tops of each massage ball can be at the same height. In this case, setting the bottom walls of each limiting groove 1111 to different heights can change the distance between the bottom of each massage ball and the bottom wall of each limiting groove 1111, allowing each elastic element to be in different compression states with different compression deformations. For example, when the first massage element 1121 and the second massage element 1122 are spherical structures of the same size, the heights of the first massage element 1121 and the second massage element 1122 can be set to the same, but the bottom wall of the first limiting groove 1111a can be set higher than the bottom wall of the second limiting groove 1111b, so that the distance between the first massage element 1121 and the bottom wall of the first limiting groove 1111a is less than the distance between the second massage element 1122 and the bottom wall of the second limiting groove 1111b, thereby making the compression deformation of the first elastic element 1131 greater than that of the second elastic element 1132.

[0102] In some embodiments, in addition to having at least two of the elastic elements have different compression amounts, at least two of the elastic elements may also have different elastic moduli.

[0103] Understandably, besides the deformation of each elastic element affecting the elastic force it generates, the elastic coefficient of each elastic element also affects the elastic force it generates. In other words, when the deformation of each elastic element is the same, if the elastic coefficient of each elastic element increases sequentially, the elastic force generated by each elastic element will increase sequentially, and the reaction force exerted by each elastic element on each massage piece will also increase sequentially, thus increasing the massage intensity provided to the user and creating massage experiences of varying intensities. Of course, the deformation and elastic coefficient of each elastic element can also increase sequentially simultaneously to increase the elastic force generated by each elastic element sequentially; this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0104] Understandably, the elastic coefficient of each elastic element depends primarily on its material properties, shape, and manufacturing process. For example, each elastic element can be made of a single metal such as copper or titanium, a metal alloy such as stainless steel or copper alloy, or a non-metal such as rubber or sponge; this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0105] In some embodiments, to facilitate the rotation of the massage disc 11, the cover assembly 111 may be disc-shaped, and the bottom cover 1112 may also be provided with a rotating connecting portion 1116 located on the axis of the disc. Each limiting groove 1111 is arranged circumferentially around the rotating connecting portion 1116 along the bottom cover 1112. With this configuration, the rotating connecting portion 1116 can be used to connect the drive system 13 (such as a rotating shaft), enabling the drive system 13 to drive the massage disc 11 to rotate and ensuring that each massage component can evenly contact each massage area, thereby enhancing the massage experience. It is understood that the rotating connecting portion 1116 may include connecting holes or connecting posts, etc., and this application does not impose any limitations.

[0106] See Figure 9 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, the cover assembly 111 is disc-shaped, and the massage disc 11 further includes an anti-slip member 114 protruding from the top cover 1113 along the axis of the disc. The anti-slip member 114 is positioned higher than the massage assembly 112 along the thickness direction of the cover assembly 111. This configuration allows the user's foot to rest against the anti-slip member 114 when the massage disc 11 is used in the foot bath tub 1, preventing the user's foot from gradually detaching from the massage components as the massage disc 11 rotates. Understandably, the anti-slip member 114 can be fixed to the top cover 1113 by snap-fit, plug-in, or threaded connection, and this application does not impose any limitations. For example, the top cover 1113 may have a snap-fit ​​connection portion 1117, and the anti-slip member 114 may have a snap-fit. By engaging the snap-fit ​​of the anti-slip member 114 with the snap-fit ​​connection portion 1117, the anti-slip member 114 can be fixedly installed on the top cover 1113.

[0107] This application also provides a massage device 10 with the above-mentioned massage disc 11. The massage device 10 provided in this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0108] See Figure 13 and Figure 14 The massage device 10 includes a fixed base 12, a drive system 13, and at least one massage disc 11. The massage disc 11 is located on the fixed base 12, and the drive system 13 is located on the fixed base 12 and is used to drive at least one massage disc 11 to rotate.

[0109] Understandably, the mounting base 12 is used to support the massage disc 11 and the drive system 13. The drive system 13 includes a motor, a drive shaft, and a gear structure, etc. The drive system 13 is capable of driving at least one massage disc 11 to rotate, thereby enabling the massage device 10 to provide the user with a massage experience of varying depths.

[0110] Furthermore, in other embodiments, the massage device 10 may also have a massage portion different from the massage disc 11. For example, the massage device 10 may also include a massage roller 14 and a shaped disc 15. The shaped disc 15 is provided with a variety of massage balls, and the surface of each massage ball is provided with massage protrusions of different shapes, thereby creating different degrees of massage stimulation on the massage area to enrich the massage experience. Understandably, when the massage device 10 is used in the foot bath tub 1, the massage disc 11, massage roller 14, and shaped disc 15 may be arranged sequentially along the length of the user's foot to cover various acupoints on the user's foot.

[0111] Of course, when the massage device 10 is used in the foot bath tub 1, the massage device 10 may also be equipped with a foot bath medicine box so that users can put various foot bath medicines to enhance the foot bath effect. This application will not elaborate on this.

[0112] This application also provides a foot bath tub 1 with the above-mentioned massage device 10. The foot bath tub 1 provided by this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0113] See Figure 15 and Figure 16 This application provides a foot bath tub 1, including a tub body device 20, a lid device 30, and the aforementioned massage device 10. The tub body device 20 is provided with a foot bath cavity 21, and the massage device 10 is detachably disposed in the foot bath cavity 21. The lid device 30 is movably connected to the tub body device 20, so that the lid device 30 has an open state with the foot bath cavity 21 open and a closed state with the foot bath cavity 21 closed.

[0114] It should be noted that the foot bath tub 20 is equipped with a foot bath cavity 21. When the lid 30 is open, the user can place their feet in the foot bath cavity 21 for a foot bath. The massage device 10 can provide the user with massage intensities of varying depths to enrich the foot massage experience. In addition, the lid 30 is equipped with a display cover to facilitate the user's selection of usage modes (such as sterilization mode and ambient light mode). When the lid 30 is closed, the foot bath tub 1 can operate in sterilization mode.

[0115] The massage device 10 can also be detachably connected to the tub body 20, so that the user can disassemble and clean the massage device 10 after a foot bath. It also facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the massage device 10.

[0116] See Figure 15 and Figure 16In some embodiments, the foot bath tub 1 is further provided with a heat source 40 located in the tub body device 20. The heat source 40 can be used to irradiate and heat the user's knees and / or legs. Understandably, during a foot bath, the user's knees and / or legs are often exposed. To prevent the user's knees and / or legs from getting cold, the heat source 40 can irradiate and heat the user's knees and / or legs. The heat source 40 can be rotatably or slidably connected to the tub body device 20 to allow the user to adjust the irradiation position and angle.

[0117] The technical solutions or features described in the above embodiments can be combined or complemented by each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings. All modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
