Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of massage equipment technology, and specifically relates to a wind-cooled foot massager, particularly a foot massager that can utilize a fan to force internal ventilation. Background Technology

[0002] Foot massage equipment is widely popular due to its therapeutic effects on the feet. Its main functions include mechanical rolling massage of the soles and airbag compression massage of the insteps. These two functions are independent yet complementary; the pressure from the airbags on the insteps increases the intensity of the rolling massage. Most existing foot massagers use a closed design, with feet inserted through an opening in the casing. This often results in stuffy interiors, significantly impacting the user experience, especially during spring and summer. The industry has also proposed solutions for ventilation and heat dissipation, such as:

[0003] CN202420709401.3 discloses a heat dissipation structure for a foot massager. A heat dissipation groove is formed on the side wall of the bottom outer shell, and heat dissipation holes are formed on the bottom plate of the bottom outer shell, creating a heat dissipation channel between the heat dissipation holes and the heat dissipation groove. A fixed base is also provided on the bottom plate of the bottom outer shell, located within the heat dissipation channel. A fan bracket is fixed to the main outer shell, and a cooling fan facing the heat dissipation groove is mounted on the fan bracket. The heat dissipation groove on the side wall of the bottom outer shell and the heat dissipation holes on the bottom plate work together to form a heat dissipation channel, facilitating airflow. However, the fan is installed outside the heat dissipation groove, creating an additional obstruction, and the airflow tends to pass through the central channel, causing a short circuit and making it difficult to diffuse the airflow to other areas.

[0004] The object of this invention is to find a more reasonable technical solution. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to design a wind-cooled foot massager that uses a fan to deliver air through an air duct to the left and right feet respectively.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a wind-cooled foot massager includes a shell and a core, characterized in that: an air duct is set in the center of the core, the air duct is Y-shaped, and air outlets facing the feet are symmetrically opened on both sides, and a fan is set at the end of the air duct, the fan corresponding to the air inlet of the shell.

[0007] The air duct is formed by a fan cover that is locked to the upper cover or liner of the gearbox. The fan cover gradually flattens out and branches off to both sides from the end where the fan is installed.

[0008] The wind shield has screw fixing positions at the bifurcation point that are locked to the gearbox cover or liner, and the wind shield has an air outlet corresponding to the arch of the foot.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the mechanism includes a motor, a gearbox, and a massage component driven by the gearbox output shaft; the gearbox includes an upper cover, a bottom shell, and a gear transmission chain, the motor is connected to the gear transmission chain and is encapsulated together between the upper cover and the bottom shell; the upper cover or liner has an upward-facing rear baffle formed corresponding to the heel, and the gap between a pair of rear baffles forms an installation channel for the air hood.

[0010] The front end of the gearbox cover or liner is wider than the bottom shell by a fan position. The upper surface of the forward extension is provided with massage protrusions with ventilation holes, the lower surface is fixed with a front shroud, and a fan is fixed in the center of the bottom side of the front shroud.

[0011] This invention features a unique design, simple structure, and good ventilation. By utilizing the gap between the two feet of the machine, an air duct is organically designed to blow air out of the feet. This design saves space and allows a single fan to distribute airflow to the sides of the feet. The fan draws in outside air and sends it into the foot massager. The air pressure is then exchanged with the outside through the gaps in the equipment, forming a circulation. This effectively removes heat and keeps the interior fresh, reducing stuffiness.

[0022] 3—Fan; Detailed Implementation

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The air-cooled foot massager includes a shell and a core unit 1. Since the specific structure of the shell is not shown in the diagram, only a schematic diagram of the core unit structure is provided. A Y-shaped air duct 2 is located in the center of the core unit 1, with symmetrical air outlets 21 on both sides facing the feet. A fan 3 is located at the end of the air duct 2, corresponding to the air inlet of the shell, allowing fresh air to be drawn in from the outside. A fan cover 22 is arranged longitudinally on the central axis, with the fan end facing the rear of the shell, and accommodates the gap between the heels.

[0024] More specifically, the air duct 2 is formed by a fan shroud 22 fixed to the upper cover 121 or liner of the gearbox 12. The fan shroud 22 gradually flattens and branches outwards from the end where the fan 3 is mounted, increasing the air pressure to blow air outwards. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The shroud 22 is a bottomless shell, which can be made up of the flat gearbox cover 121 to form an air duct 2 through which airflow can pass; if the surface of the gearbox 12 is not flat, a liner can be added to make the liner the bottom.

[0025] The wind shield 22 has a screw fixing position 23 at the bifurcation point that is locked to the gearbox cover 121 or the liner. The wind shield 22 also has an air outlet 21 corresponding to the arch of the foot. When the blown air hits the side of the arch, it can be split to the ball of the foot and the heel. Of course, an air outlet can also be opened corresponding to the heel.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the mechanism 1 includes a motor 11, a gearbox 12, and a massage component 13 driven by the gearbox output shaft. In this example, the massage component 13 is a turntable, or a combination of a turntable and rollers or a kneading board. The gearbox 12 includes an upper cover 121, a bottom shell 122, and a gear transmission chain 123. The motor 11 is connected to the gear transmission chain 123 and is encapsulated together between the upper cover 121 and the bottom shell 122. The structure is compact, and the upper cover 121 can be used as a support for the massage surface. The upper cover 121 or the liner has an upward-facing rear baffle 1211 formed corresponding to the heel. The gap between a pair of rear baffles 1211 forms an installation channel for the air hood 22, which is organically integrated and configured with a gradually flattened air hood 22, so that the internal space is not obtrusive.

[0027] Furthermore, the front end of the gearbox cover 121 or liner extends forward by a fan position beyond the bottom housing. The upper surface of the forward extension 1212 is provided with massage protrusions 1213 with ventilation holes, and a front shroud 24 is fixed to the lower surface. A fan 3 is fixed to the center of the bottom side of the front shroud 24, which obviously corresponds to the air inlet at the bottom of the housing. With the help of the forward extension 1212, not only are massage protrusions 1212 provided, but the ventilation holes on the massage protrusions 1212 can also blow air backward towards the arch of the foot. This auxiliary design can satisfy the needs of people with longer feet or toes for massage, and can also blow air towards the soles of the feet. If used by people with shorter feet, the ventilation holes on the massage protrusions 1213 can blow air towards the instep, which can also be selected according to the user's foot placement, achieving multiple benefits.

[0028] In this structure, the gearbox is specially designed. If this solution is used in an existing gearbox, a liner plate is required. The structure and function of the liner plate are the same as the top cover 121 in the figure.
