Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of massage devices, and in particular to a walking massager and its conductive structure. Background Technology

[0002] Back massagers are common home or commercial massage devices. They use mechanized rollers to mimic the grasping and kneading motions of human hands to massage and relax back muscles. A walking massager mainly consists of a guide rail and a massage mechanism that moves along the rail. In traditional walking massagers, the conductive components are typically assembled using dispersed conductive electrode plates. While this method is flexible, it increases assembly complexity. Dispersed conductive electrode plates are prone to poor contact, affecting not only conductivity stability but also the overall user experience. Furthermore, the tracks and racks of traditional walking massagers are often rigid structures, making it difficult to conform to the complex curves of the human body, which is detrimental to the user experience. The massage effect and comfort need improvement.

[0003] In view of this, this utility model is developed by deeply conceiving and actively researching and improving the design of existing walking massagers to address the many shortcomings and inconveniences caused by the imperfections in their structural design. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a conductive structure for a walking massager that is easy to assemble and has stable conductivity, as well as a massager having the conductive structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is: A conductive structure for a walking massager includes: a flexible circuit board, multiple conductive strips disposed on the top surface of the flexible circuit board, and a probe group disposed on the massage mechanism. The flexible circuit board is fixedly disposed on the top surface and / or bottom surface of the guide rail along the length direction of the guide rail. The multiple conductive strips are spaced apart on the top or bottom surface of the flexible circuit board along the length direction of the guide rail. The probe group has multiple probes corresponding to each conductive strip, and each probe is in contact with the corresponding conductive strip.

[0006] Furthermore, a slot for mounting a flexible circuit board is provided on the top and / or bottom surface of the guide rail. The top and / or bottom surface of the slot forms a probe opening. The flexible circuit board is installed in the slot, and the conductive strip on the top surface of the flexible circuit board and the bottom of the massage mechanism probe assembly are both located within the probe opening of the slot.

[0007] Furthermore, the slot is provided with limiting posts on both sides of the probe opening, and the limiting posts are integrally formed with the guide rail.

[0008] Furthermore, the conductive strip includes a positive power supply conductive strip, a negative circuit conductive strip, and a signal transmission conductive strip arranged at intervals, and the positive power supply conductive strip, the signal transmission conductive strip, and the negative circuit conductive strip are arranged at equal intervals on the top layer of the flexible circuit board.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide rail is a flexible structure, and each probe in the probe group is an elastic probe, with the bottom end of the elastic probe abutting against the conductive strip.

[0010] A walking massager includes the conductive structure, two guide rails, two connecting plates, and a massage mechanism. The two guide rails are arranged side by side with a gap between them, and the two connecting plates are correspondingly arranged at both ends of the two guide rails to connect them. The massage mechanism is slidably arranged on the two guide rails, and the flexible circuit board of the conductive structure is arranged on the top and / or bottom surface of one of the guide rails.

[0011] Furthermore, the guide rail has side openings at both ends of the slot, and each guide rail has a mounting connector at both ends. The connecting plate has an interface corresponding to the mounting connector at both ends. A plug is provided at the position of the interface corresponding to the side opening of the guide rail. The plugs of the two connecting plates block the openings on both sides of the guide rail and limit the flexible circuit board in the slot between the two plugs.

[0012] Furthermore, the interface between the mounting joint and the connecting plate is provided with a first locking hole and a second locking hole that correspond to each other. The first locking hole and the second locking hole are locked together by bolts, thereby locking the two connecting plates and the two guide rails together.

[0013] Furthermore, the massage mechanism and the two guide rails are equipped with racks and gears that cooperate with each other, so that the massage mechanism can be slidably mounted on the guide rails.

[0014] Furthermore, the massage mechanism has a through guide groove on each side, and the two guide rails are respectively set in the two guide grooves. The probe group is set in the massage mechanism at the top and / or bottom of the guide groove, and each probe of the probe group extends into the guide groove.

[0015] With the above structure, the conductive structure of this walking massager is achieved by directly setting multiple conductive strips on a flexible circuit board to form modular conductive units. A probe group corresponding to the conductive strips is then set on the massage mechanism, enabling electrical connection between the flexible circuit board and the massage mechanism. The flexible circuit board can be directly mounted on a guide rail, achieving "plug-and-play" assembly. Compared to existing multiple independent conductive strips, this invention significantly improves assembly efficiency and reduces costs. This invention innovatively proposes a redesigned conductive structure using an integrated conductive solution. By designing an integrated flexible circuit board containing multiple conductive strips, it eliminates the reliance on multiple dispersed conductive electrode sheets, achieving efficient connection with the massage mechanism through the flexible circuit board. This design not only greatly simplifies the assembly process and improves production efficiency but also significantly enhances conductive stability under various usage conditions, especially when the massager is bent or deformed, thereby ensuring user comfort and reliability.

[0023] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a walking massager, which includes two guide rails 1, two connecting plates 2, a massage mechanism 3, and a conductive structure 4. The two guide rails 1 are arranged side by side with a gap, and the two connecting plates 2 are correspondingly arranged at both ends of the two guide rails 1 to connect the two guide rails 1. The massage mechanism 3 is slidably arranged on the two guide rails 1. The conductive structure 4 includes a flexible circuit board 41, multiple conductive strips 42 arranged on the top surface of the flexible circuit board 41, and a probe group 43 arranged on the massage mechanism 3. The flexible circuit board 41 is fixedly arranged on one of the guide rails 1 along the length direction of the guide rails 1. The multiple conductive strips 42 are arranged at intervals on the top surface of the flexible circuit board 41 along the length direction of the guide rails 1. The probe group 43 has multiple probes corresponding to each conductive strip 42, and each probe is in contact with the corresponding conductive strip 42.

[0026] The conductive structure 4 of this walking massager forms a modular conductive unit by directly setting multiple conductive strips 42 on the flexible circuit board 41, and setting probe groups 43 on the massage core 3 to correspond to and cooperate with the conductive strips 42, so that the flexible circuit board 41 and the massage core 3 can be electrically connected. The flexible circuit board 41 can be directly fixed on the guide rail 1 to achieve "plug and play" assembly. Compared with the existing multiple independent conductive strips, this invention can significantly improve assembly efficiency and reduce costs.

[0027] There are various ways to fix the flexible circuit board 41 to the guide rail 1. In this embodiment, a slot 11 for mounting the flexible circuit board 41 is formed on the top surface of one of the guide rails 1. Side openings 13 are formed at both ends of the slot 11, and probe openings 12 are formed on the top surface. The flexible circuit board 41 is installed in the slot 11, and the conductive strip 42 on the top surface of the flexible circuit board 41 and the bottom of the probe group 43 of the massage mechanism 3 are both located in the probe openings 12 on the top surface of the slot 11. To prevent the flexible circuit board 41 from coming out of the probe openings 12 on the top surface of the guide rail 1, limiting posts 14 are respectively provided on both sides of the probe openings 12 in the slot 11. The limiting posts 14 are integrally formed with the guide rail 1. By providing a slot 11 for mounting the flexible circuit board 41 on the guide rail 1, the installation of the flexible circuit board 41 is facilitated, and the flexible circuit board is directly embedded in the guide rail 1, making it less prone to warping or breakage, thus ensuring the service life of the flexible circuit board 41. The probe opening 12 of the guide rail 1 allows each probe of the probe group of the massage mechanism 3 to move synchronously in the probe opening 12 of the slot 11 during the reciprocating motion, ensuring that each probe of the massage mechanism 3 can always be in contact with the conductive strip 42, thus ensuring the stability of the operation of the massage mechanism 3.

[0028] The side openings 13 at both ends of the slot 11 are sealed by the connecting plates 2. In this embodiment, each guide rail 1 has a mounting joint 15 at both ends, and the connecting plates 2 have interfaces 21 corresponding to the mounting joints 15 at both ends. A plug 22 is provided at the position of the interface 21 corresponding to the side opening 13 of the guide rail. The plugs 22 of the two connecting plates 2 seal the side openings 13 of the guide rail 1, thus confining the flexible circuit board 41 within the slot 11 between the two plugs 22 and preventing displacement of the flexible circuit board 41. To ensure a stable connection between the connecting plates 2 and the guide rail 1, the mounting joints 15 and the interfaces 21 of the connecting plates 2 are provided with corresponding first locking holes 16 and second locking holes 23. The first locking holes 16 and second locking holes 23 can be secured with bolts. This secures the two connecting plates 2 and the two guide rails 1 together, while also confining the flexible circuit board 41 within the slot 11 of the guide rail.

[0029] In this embodiment, the conductive strip 42 includes a positive power supply conductive strip 421, a negative circuit conductive strip 422, and a signal transmission conductive strip 423 arranged at intervals. The positive power supply conductive strip 421, the signal transmission conductive strip 423, and the negative circuit conductive strip 422 are arranged sequentially and at equal intervals on the top layer of the flexible circuit board 41, which can reduce production costs through simple wiring. To avoid signal interference from motor pulses, a filter capacitor is installed between the positive and negative terminals of the power supply, near the motor drive position, in the massage mechanism 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, the massage mechanism 3 and the guide rail 1 are provided with mutually cooperating racks and gears, so that the massage mechanism 3 can be slidably mounted on the guide rail 1. Specifically, a rack 17 is provided on each opposite side of the two guide rails 1, and the massage mechanism 3 is provided with a gear 31 that meshes with the rack 17. The gear 31 is driven to rotate by a motor, and can then reciprocate along the rack 17.

[0031] The massage mechanism 3 has a through guide groove 32 on each side, and the two guide rails 1 are respectively set in the two guide grooves 32. The probe group 43 is set in the massage mechanism 3 at the top of the guide groove 32, and each probe of the probe group 43 extends into the guide groove 32.

[0032] Preferably, the guide rail 1 is a flexible structure, and each probe of the probe group 43 is an elastic probe. The bottom end of the elastic probe abuts against the conductive strip 42. By setting the probe with an elastic structure, the probe can recover in time after the flexible guide rail is deformed, thus ensuring the conductivity between the probe and the conductive strip 42.

[0033] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 The diagram shows a second embodiment of the walking massager of this utility model. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: in the first embodiment, the massage mechanism and the guide rail use single-sided contact, providing power and signal transmission for the massage mechanism. In the second embodiment, a slot 11 for mounting a flexible circuit board 41 is provided on the top and bottom surfaces of one of the guide rails 1. A flexible circuit board 41 is installed in each slot 11. The probe group 43 is provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the guide rail groove 32, with each probe of the probe group 43 extending into the guide rail groove 32. Compared to the first embodiment, the massage mechanism 3 and the flexible circuit board of the guide rail 1 in the second embodiment have a double-sided electrical connection structure. This double-sided electrical connection structure improves power supply stability, can handle more complex circuit requirements, and supports functional expansion of the massage mechanism 3. Conductive strips 42 on both the top and bottom surfaces of the guide rail 1 have bidirectional contact with the massage mechanism 3, forming a more stable circuit loop and avoiding power outages or signal interruptions caused by poor single-sided contact, especially reducing contact fluctuations during massager movement. If the massage mechanism 3 fails to make contact with one side of the guide rail 1, the other side can still maintain circuit continuity, reducing the probability of failure and improving safety during use.

[0034] The above embodiments and figures are not intended to limit the product form and style of this utility model. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
