Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of massage machine technology, and in particular to a foot massage machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of modern life and increasing work pressure, foot fatigue and poor blood circulation caused by prolonged standing or sitting have become common problems. As the body's second heart, the health of the feet directly affects overall blood circulation and health. Therefore, foot massage, as a traditional health care method, is receiving increasing attention and popularity. Foot massage not only promotes blood circulation and relieves fatigue, but also improves sleep quality, enhances immunity, and plays a positive role in preventing and alleviating various diseases.

[0003] Traditional foot massages mostly rely on manual techniques. While effective, this method is limited by the massage therapist's skill level and physical condition, making it difficult to meet the demand for large-scale, high-efficiency massages. With technological advancements and improved living standards, various electric foot massage machines have emerged. These machines simulate manual massage techniques, combining modern mechanical and electronic control technology to automate foot massage, significantly improving efficiency and comfort.

[0004] However, most existing foot massagers only focus on massaging the soles of the feet, neglecting the massage needs of crucial areas such as the ankles. As a key connection between the feet and legs, the ankle's blood circulation and muscle condition directly affect the health of the entire lower limb. Therefore, developing a foot massager that can massage the ankles is particularly important.

[0005] In the prior art, Chinese invention patent with publication number CN109223427A discloses a massage chair ankle stretching mechanism. The mechanism stretches the ankle by rotating and flipping, but does not massage the muscles in the ankle. Moreover, the ankle joint may be damaged during the flipping and stretching process.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a massage machine that can massage the ankle area. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model provides a foot massager to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0027] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0028] Example 1: like Figures 1-5As shown, this application provides a foot massager, including a body 1 and a foot massage mechanism 2, an ankle massage mechanism 3, and a foot side massage mechanism 4 disposed within the body 1. The body 1 provides support and protection for the entire massager, and its interior is equipped with key components such as a drive motor and a transmission mechanism for driving the movement of each massage mechanism.

[0029] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the ankle massage mechanism 3 is positioned on the back of the ankle for massaging the ankle. This mechanism includes a swing arm 31 that oscillates along a fixed axis, an ankle massage head 32 attached to the swing arm 31, and a massage drive device 33 for driving the swing arm 31. The ankle massage head 32 has an arc-shaped surface 321 facing the ankle, which is a concave arc-shaped surface located in the middle of the ankle massage head 32. The massage drive device 33 can be a motor-driven eccentric cam mechanism that drives the swing arm 31 to oscillate around a fixed axis. The ankle massage head 32 oscillates up and down under the drive of the swing arm 31 to massage the ankle. The core component of the massage drive device 33 is the eccentric cam 331, which is mounted on a rotating shaft 5 and rotates with the rotation of the rotating shaft 5. The eccentric sleeve 332 is movably engaged with the eccentric cam 331. When the eccentric cam 331 rotates, the eccentric sleeve 332 is pushed by it to swing back and forth, thereby driving the swing arm 31 and the ankle massage head 32 to swing.

[0030] Specifically, the ankle massage head 32 is configured to be driven by the massage drive device 33 to perform a tapping massage on the ankle. In this embodiment, the ankle massage head 32 is vertically arranged and is fixed to the swing arm 31 by a fixing member, which can be a screw. The fixing member is located on an arc-shaped surface, and the arc-shaped concave surface avoids contact between the fixing member and the ankle, thus preventing injury. To limit the tapping force on the ankle, the ankle massage head 32 is configured to be elastic. During contact with the ankle, the ankle massage head 32 undergoes elastic deformation, thereby absorbing some of the tapping energy and avoiding excessive impact on the ankle. To achieve this elastic effect, the ankle massage head 32 can be made of elastic materials such as silicone or rubber.

[0031] like Figure 2 or Figure 5As shown, the massage drive device 33 includes a driven eccentric cam 331 and a swing sleeve 332 that is movably engaged with the eccentric cam 331. The swing sleeve 332 is hinged to the swing arm 31. When the eccentric cam 331 rotates, it pushes the swing sleeve 332 to move along its contour, thereby causing the swing arm 31 to swing around a fixed axis. To achieve the rotation of the eccentric cam 331, the first motor 8 serves as a power source, driving the third rotating shaft 25 to rotate. The third rotating shaft 25 is linked to the rotating shaft 5 through the first belt transmission mechanism 26, and a first one-way clutch mechanism 6 is provided on the third rotating shaft 25. In this embodiment, the first one-way clutch mechanism 6 is a one-way bearing, so that when the first motor 8 rotates forward, the third rotating shaft 25 rotates and the rotating shaft 5 stops; when the first motor 8 rotates in reverse, both the third rotating shaft 25 and the rotating shaft 5 rotate.

[0032] In practice, users can use the massage drive device 33 to drive the ankle massage head 32 to massage their ankles with appropriate force and frequency according to their personal preferences and needs, effectively relieving ankle fatigue and stiffness.

[0033] like Figure 3 or Figure 5 As shown, a foot-side massage mechanism 4 is disposed on the side of the foot for massaging the side of the foot. This mechanism includes a pair of massage plates 41 that are driven to swing, performing a pinching massage by moving closer to and away from the foot. To enhance the massage effect, massage elements such as massage bumps or massage strips can be provided on the inner side of the massage plates 41. A second motor 9 drives the swinging of the massage plates 41. When the second motor 9 is started, it drives a second rotating shaft 242 to rotate, which in turn drives the pair of massage plates 41 to perform a pinching massage on the side of the foot.

[0034] Specifically, the foot massage mechanism 4 also includes a pair of airbags 42 disposed on the inner side of the foot. The airbags 42 are configured to provide support for the foot and restrict foot movement when the massage clamp 41 performs a pinching massage. In this way, when the massage clamp 41 is close to the foot for pinching massage, the airbags 42 will support and fix the foot from the inside, preventing the foot from moving or shaking during the massage, thereby improving the stability and comfort of the massage.

[0035] The inflation and deflation of the airbag 42 can be achieved through control components such as an air pump and a solenoid valve. In practice, when the foot massage mechanism 4 is activated, the air pump will inflate the airbag 42, causing it to expand and conform to the inside of the foot; when the massage stops, the solenoid valve will open the venting channel, allowing the gas in the airbag 42 to be expelled and return to its original state.

[0036] Furthermore, to further enhance the comfort and effectiveness of the massage, massage elements such as massage bumps or massage strips can be provided on the surface of the airbag 42. In this way, while the airbag 42 supports the foot, it can also massage and stimulate the inner side of the foot, further promoting blood circulation and relieving fatigue.

[0037] like Figures 4-5 As shown, a foot massage mechanism 2 is positioned under the foot for massaging the sole. The mechanism includes at least one driven rotating roller 21, with acupressure massage sections 22 intermittently pressing against the sole. The acupressure massage sections 22 can be configured as raised massage points or massage strips. Through the rotation of the roller 21 and the intermittent pressure of the acupressure massage sections 22, a comprehensive massage of the sole is achieved. This massage method stimulates acupoints and reflex zones on the sole, promoting blood circulation and relieving fatigue.

[0038] Specifically, the foot massage mechanism 2 includes a toe massage device 23 and a sole massage device 24. The toe massage device 23 is located below the toes and is used to massage the toes; the sole massage device 24 is located below the sole and is used to massage the central part of the sole along its length.

[0039] The toe massage device 23 includes a driven rotating first roller 231, which is mounted on a first rotating shaft 232 to massage the toes. To achieve the rotation of the first roller 231, a second motor 9 is used as a power source, and the rotational motion of the second motor 9 is transmitted to the first rotating shaft 232 via a second belt transmission mechanism 27. The surface of the first roller 231 may be provided with massage elements such as massage bumps or massage strips for pressing and kneading massage of the toes.

[0040] The foot massager 24 includes a driven second roller 241, which is mounted on a second rotating shaft 242 to massage the central portion of the sole along its length. Similar to the toe massager 23, a third belt conveyor 28 is provided between the second roller 241 and a third rotating shaft 25 to enable the second roller 241 to rotate. The surface of the second roller 241 can also be provided with massage bumps or massage strips for deep massage stimulation of the sole.

[0041] In this embodiment, the second roller 241 is integrally connected to a bearing, so that it does not rotate with the second rotating shaft 242, but rotates through a belt drive mechanism between the bearing and the third rotating shaft 25.

[0042] Specifically, a third rotating shaft 25 is provided between the second rotating shaft 242 and the rotating shaft 5, and the third rotating shaft 25 and the rotating shaft are connected by a first belt drive mechanism 26. Simultaneously, the first rotating shaft 232 and the second rotating shaft 242 are also connected by a second belt drive mechanism 27. When the rotating shaft 5 rotates, it can drive the third rotating shaft 25 and the second rotating shaft 242 to rotate synchronously; and the rotation of the second rotating shaft 242 can be transmitted to the first rotating shaft 232 through the second belt drive mechanism 27, thereby driving the toe massage device 23 and the sole massage device 24 to work simultaneously.

[0043] Furthermore, to protect the components from damage while achieving transmission, this embodiment also includes a second one-way clutch mechanism 7 on the first rotating shaft 232. In this embodiment, the second one-way clutch mechanism is a one-way bearing. The function of the second one-way clutch mechanism 7 is that when the second motor 9 rotates forward, it drives the second rotating shaft 242 to rotate, and the first rotating shaft 231 stops. When the second motor 9 rotates in reverse, both the second rotating shaft 242 and the first rotating shaft 231 rotate.

[0044] In practice, users can place their feet in a suitable position within the machine body 1. After starting the massager, the toe massage device 23 and the sole massage device 24 will work simultaneously to provide a comprehensive massage to the soles of the feet. By adjusting parameters such as the motor speed and direction, as well as the transmission ratio of the transmission mechanism, the massage needs of different users can be met. Simultaneously, the ankle massage device 3 and the side foot massage device 4 will also work synchronously to massage and stimulate the ankles and sides of the feet, thereby achieving a comprehensive foot massage effect.

[0045] In practice, users can place their feet in a suitable position within the machine body 1. After activating the massage machine, the foot massage mechanism 2, ankle massage mechanism 3, and side foot massage mechanism 4 will work simultaneously to provide a comprehensive massage to the feet. By adjusting the motion parameters and massage intensity of each massage mechanism, the massage needs of different users can be met.

[0046] Example 2: Compared to Example 1, it differs in the following ways: like Figure 6 As shown, the ankle massage head 32 is configured to perform scraping massage on the ankle under drive. The ankle massage head 32 has an arc-shaped surface 321 on the side facing the ankle. The arc-shaped surface 321 is set as an arc-shaped concave surface suitable for covering the ankle. The arc-shaped concave surface is located in the middle of the ankle massage head 32 to conform to the contour of the ankle for massage and provide a comfortable massage experience.

[0047] In this embodiment, the ankle massage head 32 is arranged horizontally and is fixed to the swing arm 31 by a fastener located on the arc-shaped concave surface. The fastener can be a screw or the like. The arc-shaped concave surface can prevent the fastener from hitting the ankle.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first motor 8 drives the third rotating shaft 25 to rotate. The third rotating shaft 25 and the rotating shaft 5 are linked by the first belt transmission mechanism 26, so that when the third rotating shaft 25 rotates, it can drive the rotating shaft 5 to rotate. The rotating shaft 5 drives the swing arm 31 to swing up and down, thereby driving the ankle massage head 32 to swing up and down to perform scraping massage on the ankle.

[0049] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
