Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0040] Reference Figure 1-9 A smart foot massager with knee and foot linkage includes a base 11, with a body 1 fixed to the upper end of the base 11. The body 1 is a U-shaped enclosure with an opening facing forward, forming a foot massage space in the middle for both feet. A top cover 13 is fixed to the upper end of the body 1, and a flip-up knee therapy flip plate 2 is hinged to the front end of the top cover 13 or the upper end of the body 1. A knee phototherapy module 4 is installed on the knee therapy flip plate 2. By opening and adjusting the angle of the knee therapy flip plate 2, it can adapt to different leg lengths and cover the knee area. That is, users can manually adjust the opening angle and distance of the knee therapy flip plate 2 according to their own height, sitting habits, leg length differences, and knee flexion angle to ensure that the front area of the knee joint and the inner surface of the knee phototherapy module 4 are accurately positioned with the knee, maximizing the spectral utilization rate and deep penetration effect of the spectral therapy, fundamentally solving the common technical problems of traditional knee therapy equipment such as fixed structure, non-adjustable angle, poor fit, and weak therapeutic effect.
[0041] The upper surface of the base 11 is provided with two foot therapy areas 12 for placing feet in the foot therapy space. The foot therapy area 12 is equipped with an electric pulse module 5, a hot compress module 6, a pulse magnetic therapy module 7 and a moxibustion module 8. The foot therapy area 12 is also equipped with a BIA bioelectrical impedance detection module.
[0042] The knee phototherapy module 4 is used to irradiate the knee with phototherapy; the electric pulse module 5 is used to generate pulses to treat the soles of the feet; the hot compress module 6 is used to heat the soles of the feet for hot compress; the pulse magnetic therapy module 7 is used to generate pulse magnetic fields to treat the soles of the feet; the moxibustion module 8 is used to heat moxibustion blocks to treat the feet with moxibustion; and the BIA bioelectrical impedance detection module is used to measure the impedance characteristics of human tissue to weak alternating current.

The main controller 15 is electrically connected to the knee phototherapy module 4, the electric pulse module 5, the hot compress module 6, the pulse magnetic therapy module 7, the moxibustion module 8, the BIA bioelectrical impedance detection module, the display, and several first buttons.
[0044] As a further implementation, the U-shaped enclosure is formed by fixedly connecting two side panels and a rear panel; the knee physiotherapy flip panel 2 is hinged to the top cover 13 through a damped hinge 3, and can be flipped within the range of 0°-180°, and the knee physiotherapy flip panel 2 can be suspended at any angle to meet the usage requirements.
[0045] As a further implementation, the inner surface of the body 1 is equipped with a calf phototherapy module 14 for irradiating the calf with phototherapy, which can expand the treatment range to the entire lower limb through non-contact phototherapy.
[0046] As a further implementation, the knee phototherapy module 4 includes a therapy lamp plate 41 and a first lampshade 42. The therapy lamp plate 41 uses a dual-spectrum composite light source combining 630nm-670nm red light and 810nm-890nm near-infrared light, which can effectively penetrate the skin surface and soft tissue of the knee joint, promote local blood circulation, and relieve joint fatigue. The therapy lamp plate 41 uses a focusing lamp bead, and the first lampshade 42 is placed on the light-emitting side of the therapy lamp plate 41. The first lampshade 42 is a high-transmittance focusing lampshade to improve the efficiency of phototherapy. The spectral brightness of this phototherapy module supports multiple manual adjustments, while in automatic linkage mode, it is determined by the data from the BIA bioelectrical impedance detection module. The calf phototherapy module 14 has the same structure as the knee phototherapy module 4, and also includes a therapy lamp plate 41 and a first lampshade 42.
[0047] The electrical pulse module 5 includes a pulse generator and electrode plates 51. The pulse generator is electrically connected to the electrode plates 51, which conduct electrical pulses to the soles of the feet. The pulse generator is a low-to-medium frequency pulse generator, which can stimulate acupoints on the feet, unblock meridians, and relieve foot fatigue through low-to-medium frequency pulses. The heat therapy module 6 includes a heating element 61 and a temperature sensor. The heating element 61 is used to heat the soles of the feet, and the temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the heating element 61. The heating element 61 is fixedly attached to the bottom surface of the electrode plates 51. The heating element 61 can be a graphene heating element, and the heating temperature can be adjusted between 35℃ and 50℃. Through heat conduction, it promotes blood circulation in the feet, improves the problem of cold hands and feet, and simultaneously assists in the penetration of traditional Chinese medicine or moxibustion to enhance the therapeutic effect. The pulse magnetic therapy module 7 includes a pulse power supply and an electromagnetic coil 72. The pulse power supply is electrically connected to the electromagnetic coil 72, which converts electrical pulses into a permanent magnetic field. The moxibustion module 8 includes a moxibustion box with a detachable perforated cover 83 at the top. A heating device is installed at the bottom of the moxibustion box. The BIA bioelectrical impedance analysis module includes an excitation electrode, a detection electrode, and an impedance analysis unit. Both the excitation electrode and the detection electrode are electrically connected to the impedance analysis unit. The foot therapy area 12 is equipped with the moxibustion module 8 corresponding to the sole of the foot and the pulse magnetic therapy module 7 corresponding to the arch of the foot. In addition to the moxibustion module 8 and the pulse magnetic therapy module 7 occupying space, the remaining area of the foot therapy area 12 is covered with electrode pads 51. The electrode pads 51 include anterior arch electrode pads and posterior arch electrode pads 51 that are not interconnected. The excitation electrode is the same component as one of the anterior arch electrode pads and the posterior arch electrode pads, and the detection electrode is the same component as the other of the anterior arch electrode pads and the posterior arch electrode pads.
[0048] Based on the contact signal of electrode 51 and the detection data of the BIA bioelectrical impedance analysis module, the output intensity of the knee phototherapy module 4 and / or the foot therapy area is linked. Since users have varying sensitivities to pulses, the pulse intensity is not directly linked to the output; it is only displayed for user reference, and the pulse intensity is manually adjusted step-by-step. In other words, the bioimpedance signal is initially collected using electrode 51, and the output intensity is adjusted accordingly to adapt to individual needs. The BIA bioelectrical impedance analysis module has a four-electrode structure, with separate excitation and detection electrodes. Multiplexed analog switches enable time-division multiplexing, electrical isolation, and hardware / software interlocking between BIA detection and electrical pulse therapy, ensuring no interference between the two.
[0049] As a further implementation, the electrical pulse module 5 includes an electrical pulse housing, within which a second lamp slot 52 is provided. A second lamp plate 54 is fixed to the bottom of the second lamp slot 52, and a second lamp cover is also placed on the second lamp slot 52. The electrode sheet 51 and the heating sheet 61 are located above the second lamp cover, and the electrode sheet 51 and the heating sheet 61 have second lamp cover holes corresponding to the second lamp cover. This simplifies the design of the foot therapy area of the base 11, allowing for a large-area arrangement of the electrode sheet 51 to ensure effective contact with the sole of the foot. Furthermore, for the heel area, a second lamp slot 52 is cut out on the conductive plate and fitted with a light-transmitting or light-filtering second lamp cover 53, which can also provide additional phototherapy to the heel area.
[0050] The pulse magnetic therapy module 7 includes a pulse magnetic therapy box 71. The bottom of the box 71 forms an upwardly protruding coil cavity 711. The coil 72 is mounted on an iron core frame 73 and secured within the coil cavity 711 by the iron core frame 73. A ring-shaped third lamp slot 712 is provided on the upper surface of the box 71. A third lamp plate 714 is fixedly installed within the third lamp slot 712. A third lamp cover 713 covers the third lamp slot 712. The brightness of the third lamp plate 714 corresponds to the intensity of the pulse magnetic field. The pulse magnetic therapy module 7 adopts a low-power, low-noise coil 72 structure. The output intensity is adjustable in three levels. It operates without significant vibration or noise, effectively relieving foot muscle tension and improving local microcirculation.
[0051] The moxibustion box includes a fixing ring seat 81, with a heat-insulating base plate 82 fixed to the bottom of the fixing ring seat 81. The middle of the fixing ring seat 81 is a heating cavity. The heating device is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the heat-insulating base plate 82 inside the heating cavity. The heating device includes a heating seat 84 and a PTC heating block 841. The PTC heating block 841 is fixedly installed on the heating seat 84.

The fourth lamp groove 812 has a light-transmitting lamp hole 811. A fourth lamp cover 813 is installed on the fourth lamp groove 812. The electrode plate 51 and the heating plate 61 have fourth lamp cover holes corresponding to the fourth lamp cover. A heat-insulating pad 831 is provided at the bottom of the hollow cover 83. The perforated cover 83 can be made of a thermally conductive metal material. The perforated cover 83 can contact the electrode plate 51 and serve as part of the electrode plate 51. The perforated cover 83 and the heat insulation pad 831 are fused together through heat pressing or other methods. The heat insulation pad 831 serves as heat insulation and positioning, and a handle is provided along the edge of the heat insulation pad 831 for easy opening and replacement of the moxibustion block. The heating base 84 is equipped with a PTC heating block 841 with a positive temperature coefficient, which features rapid heating and automatic temperature control. Combined with a temperature protector, it is safer and more reliable, preventing burns. A negative ionizer can also be installed inside the body 1 to eliminate odors and improve the user experience.
[0052] A smokeless moxibustion block is placed in the central heating cavity of the fixed ring seat 81. When the PTC heating block 841 is powered on, it can heat the smokeless moxibustion block and emit aromatic substances through the hollow cover 83 to produce a fumigation effect on the soles of the feet. The fourth lamp plate 814 can be used as a visual embellishment and additional phototherapy.
[0053] As a further implementation, the knee physiotherapy flip plate 2 or the top cover 13 is provided with a sensor (such as an angle trigger) that senses the flipping and resetting of the knee physiotherapy flip plate 2. The sensor is used to automatically turn on the knee phototherapy module when flipping and automatically turn off the knee phototherapy module when resetting.
