Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mats, and in particular to a foamed massage mat. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional foot massage mats are typically made through injection molding, resulting in a Shore hardness of 80-85A. These mats are relatively hard, and their massage function is primarily achieved through their surface design: a large array of raised bumps and lines, with numerous smaller bumps densely distributed across each large bump to enhance the massage effect. However, this design also presents significant problems: because both the large and small bumps are quite hard, the texture is very granular, resulting in very strong pressure on the soles of the feet and a particularly intense irritation. Many users have reported experiencing noticeable foot pain when stepping on these injection-molded massage mats, making it difficult to use them for extended periods and negatively impacting the user experience and the duration of the massage effect.

[0003] It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content

[0019] This utility model provides a foamed massage mat. To make the purpose, technical solution, and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the following describes this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides a foamed massage pad, including a foamed pad body 1, a plurality of first massage protrusions 2 integrally formed with the foamed pad body 1 and arranged on the upper surface of the foamed pad body 1, and a plurality of second massage protrusions 3 integrally formed with the foamed pad body 1 and arranged on the upper surface of the foamed pad body 1; the second massage protrusions 3 are provided with arc-shaped grooves 31; the Shore hardness of the foamed pad body 1, the first massage protrusions 2 and the second massage protrusions 3 are all 60±3A.

[0021] The foam pad body 1, the first massage protrusion 2, and the second massage protrusion 3 are all made of the same foam, ensuring a stable structural connection that is not easy to fall off. Moreover, the Shore hardness of the three is uniformly set at 60±3A, which is significantly lower than that of traditional injection-molded massage pads with a Shore hardness of 80-85A. The hardness range of 60±3A retains sufficient support to achieve effective massage, while weakening the rigid touch through the elasticity of the foam material. This makes the protrusions create a soft yet resilient pressing sensation when they come into contact with the soles of the feet. They are neither too soft and lose their massage power, nor too hard and cause stinging.

[0022] Furthermore, the first massage protrusion 2 provides basic pressure through its overall shape. As the main massage structure distributed on the surface of the foam pad 1, it is numerous and widely distributed, covering most of the sole of the foot. Through large-area contact with the sole of the foot, it forms uniform pressure stimulation, relaxing the entire sole. The second massage protrusion 3 is targeted by the design of the arc groove 31. Its curvature can be adapted to the heel or arch of the foot, allowing for precise placement in these two areas. The arc groove 31 not only uses the curved surface to buffer local pressure and avoid sharp touch, but also strengthens the stimulation of the heel and arch, two areas that are prone to fatigue and require focused massage.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, each of the first massage protrusions 2 is pyramidal in shape, and the top of each pyramidal first massage protrusion 2 is provided with a first rounded corner 21. The pyramidal structure has the characteristic of converging pressure, which can concentrate the pressure on the sides and top areas of the first massage protrusion 2, forming a more penetrating stimulation on the acupoints on the sole of the foot, and can effectively relieve muscle tension in the sole of the foot. At the same time, when the inclined side of the pyramid contacts the sole of the foot, it forms a pressure gradient from shallow to deep. Combined with the elasticity of the foam material, it makes the massage experience more layered and avoids the monotony of a single pressure. In addition, the design of the first rounded corner 21 at the top eliminates the sharpness that the pyramidal structure may have. When the sole of the foot contacts the top of the first massage protrusion 2, the first rounded corner 21 can disperse the pressure by increasing the contact area, providing a gentle transition and reducing friction and discomfort between the foot and the first massage protrusion 2.

[0024] Please see Figure 2In some embodiments, each of the second massage protrusions 3 is elongated, and the arcuate groove 31 is formed within the elongated second massage protrusion 3. Both ends of each second massage protrusion 3 are inclined edges 32 sloping towards the top of the arcuate groove 31, and the connection point between each inclined edge 32 and the corresponding arcuate groove 31 is set as a second rounded corner 33. In fact, from an external perspective, the second massage protrusion 3 is formed by two components with the same shape as the first massage protrusion 2 connected by an intermediate connecting body, with the arcuate groove 31 located at the position of the intermediate connecting body. In use, the second rounded corner 33 and the inclined edge 32 provide sufficient support and massage effect to the sole of the foot. The inclined edge 32 forms a natural slope from the top of the second rounded corner 33 to the arcuate groove 31, which, combined with the elasticity of the foam material, provides a more diverse massage experience.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the lower surface of the foam pad 1 is provided with multiple anti-slip ridges 4 integrally formed with the foam pad 1. When the multiple anti-slip ridges 4 come into contact with a surface such as a floor or bathroom tile, they can significantly increase the friction by increasing the roughness of the contact surface, effectively preventing the massage pad from sliding or shifting due to foot pressure and body weight transfer during user stepping on the massage pad. Moreover, since the anti-slip ridges 4 are integrally formed with the foam pad 1, they are not easy to fall off, making the manufacturing of the massage pad simpler; the anti-slip ridges 4 themselves are made of the same material as the pad body, possessing the same flexibility and anti-aging properties, and can maintain the anti-slip effect for a long time, extending the overall service life of the product.

[0026] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, multiple anti-slip ridges 4 are arranged in a wave-like pattern on the lower surface of the foam pad 1. The wave-like structure can create undulations in multiple directions such as longitudinal and transverse, generating multi-directional resistance when in contact with the placement surface. Regardless of the direction of the pushing force applied to the massage pad, the anti-slip effect can be enhanced through the interlocking of the wave patterns.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the lower surface of the foam pad 1 is provided with a folding groove 11, which is used to divide the foam pad 1 into one or more folding units. The folding groove 11 allows the foam pad 1 to be flexibly folded into a smaller volume, saving storage space and facilitating home storage and transportation.

[0028] In some embodiments, the foam pad 1 is a TPE foam pad. TPE raw material is mixed with a foaming agent and then placed in a mold. Heating melts the raw material and decomposes the foaming agent to generate gas, forming a honeycomb-like cell structure. After cooling, it is integrally molded into a foam massage pad with massage protrusions, arc-shaped grooves 31, folded grooves 11, and anti-slip textures 4. TPE material is odorless, recyclable, and non-irritating to the skin, making it suitable for all types of people. Furthermore, the foamed TPE combines softness and resilience, providing a more comfortable massage experience, and is durable and resistant to deformation.

[0029] In summary, the Shore A hardness of 60±3A of this novel massage pad, combined with the flexibility of the foam material, creates a soft pressure sensation when the protrusions contact the soles of the feet, effectively cushioning pressure and completely solving the stinging problem of traditional injection-molded massage pads. The first massage protrusion 2 achieves overall relaxation of the soles of the feet, while the arc-shaped groove 31 of the second massage protrusion 3 is specifically designed for the heels and arches, which are areas of the soles of the feet prone to fatigue. The precise placement of the arc-shaped groove 31 allows for targeted massage of these areas, enhancing the relaxation effect, making the massage more targeted, and improving the overall massage efficacy.
