[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of massagers, and in particular to a walking massage mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology in the massager industry, a variety of massage devices for relieving human fatigue have emerged on the market, such as massage shawls and massage lumbar cushions for massaging the shoulders, neck, waist and back.

[0003] Massage mechanisms installed in some massage chairs or regular seats often require up-and-down movement. Existing mechanisms with movement function mostly use the first gear of the mechanism to cooperate with the walking rack. When the walking rack is installed with the backrest frame, it forms a fixed curvature to match the human back. However, the curvature of each person's back is different, which makes it impossible for the massage heads on the mechanism to fit well. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the walking massage mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0016] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0017] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0018] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-9 The present invention provides a detailed description of a walking massage mechanism, which includes a mechanism assembly 1 and a support assembly 2.

[0019] Specifically, the movement assembly 1 has a housing 11 and a drive member 12 disposed within the housing 11. The housing 11 has first limiting channels 111 extending vertically on its left and right sides, respectively. The drive member 12 has a first gear 121 extending into the first limiting channels 111. The housing 11 has a second limiting channel 112 extending vertically between the two first limiting channels 111. The support assembly 2 includes a flexible rack 21 and a flexible support bar 22. The flexible rack 21 passes through the first limiting channels 111 and meshes with the first gear 121. The flexible rack 21 and the flexible support strip 22 are both made of elastic material, and the two ends of the flexible rack 21 and the flexible support strip 22 are respectively installed on the backrest frame. When the drive unit 12 drives the first gear 121 to rotate, the core assembly 1 can move up and down along the length direction of the flexible rack 21 and the flexible support strip 22. The flexible rack 21 and the flexible support strip 22 can elastically deform according to the different curvatures of the human back, so that the massage part on the core assembly 1 always keeps in contact with the human back.

[0020] In other words, the flexible rack 21 of the support component 2 cooperates with the first gear 121 of the mechanism component 1 to enable the movement of the mechanism component 1. The two ends of the flexible rack 21 and the flexible support bar 22 are fixed to the backrest frame. The flexible rack 21 and the flexible support bar 22 can work together to provide flexible support for the mechanism component 1 and provide elastic force for the mechanism component 1 to fit the user's back, so that the flexible rack 21 and the flexible support bar 22 have freedom of movement in the direction of the user's back and in the left and right directions, so that the user can get a more complete massage experience. At the same time, the flexible support bar 22 can also support the middle position of the mechanism component 1 and limit the swaying of the mechanism component 1 in the left and right directions to a certain extent, which helps to improve the stability of the movement of the mechanism component 1. The flexible toothed bar 21 and the flexible support bar 22 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber or silicone. The teeth of the flexible toothed bar 21 are set towards the user's back. The walking range of the mechanism component 1 can be from the neck to the waist. The massage method of the mechanism component 1 can be kneading and / or hammering. The contact point between the flexible support bar 22 and the mechanism component 1 can be made of a self-lubricating material to facilitate smooth sliding between the mechanism component 1 and the flexible support bar 22.

[0021] Therefore, through the elastic arrangement of the flexible rack 21 and flexible support strip 22 of the wire assembly, the wire assembly can elastically support the core assembly 1 and restrict the core assembly 1 from moving along the length direction of the flexible rack 21 and flexible support strip 22, so that the massage part of the core assembly 1 can elastically conform to the user's back. This walking massage core has a simple structure and can conform to the user's back to provide a full massage.

[0022] Optionally, the support includes a support housing 221 and a core bar 222. The support housing 221 has mounting grooves 2211 open at both ends and the top. The core bar 222 is detachably installed in the mounting grooves 2211 and is adapted to contact the upper inner wall of the second limiting channel 112. Understandably, the support housing 221 is designed to facilitate connection with the backrest frame, facilitate the installation of the core bar 222, and improve the strength of the core bar 222. The detachable installation of the core bar 222 facilitates its replacement. The core bar 222 may employ graphene or a nano-coating to enhance wear resistance and reduce the coefficient of friction, facilitating smooth sliding of the movement assembly 1.

[0023] Furthermore, the bottom and sides of the support housing 221 are provided with corresponding slots 2212 and notches 2213 communicating with the mounting groove 2211. Understandably, the slots 2212 and notches 2213 significantly improve the bending deformation capability of the flexible support strip 22 in the direction of contact with the user's back, while also reducing the weight of the flexible support strip 22, thereby facilitating the elastic contact of the movement assembly 1 with the user's back. The slots 2212 can be square, and the notches 2213 can be U-shaped. When installing or replacing the core strip 222, it can be directly inserted or removed from both ends of the mounting groove 2211. The core strip 222 can also be provided with several concave lubrication grooves 2221 for easy addition of lubricant. The bottom of the flexible rack 21 can also be provided with slots 2212, and these slots 2212 can be blind slots 2212.

[0024] Optionally, the housing 11 includes an upper housing 113 and a lower housing 114, which are detachably connected to form an installation space suitable for mounting the drive unit 12. Understandably, the detachable connection of the upper housing 113 and lower housing 114 to form the installation space facilitates the installation and protection of the drive unit 12. The drive unit 12 may be driven by a motor 126 coupled with a gear set.

[0025] Furthermore, the lower housing 114 includes a first housing 1141, a second housing 1142, and a third housing 1143. The first housing 1141 is detachably connected to the upper housing 113 to form an installation space. The second housing 1142 is detachably connected to the first housing 1141 to form a first limiting channel 111. The bottom of the first housing 1141 is recessed towards the installation space. The third housing 1143 is detachably connected to the first housing 1141 and covers the recessed area to form a second limiting channel 112. Understandably, through the above arrangement, the manufacturing cost of the outer housing 11 can be reduced, and the complexity of forming the installation space, the first limiting channel 111, and the second limiting channel 112 can be avoided. The first housing 1141 can gradually expand from the inside to the outside at the two openings of the first limiting channel 111, which facilitates the elastic deformation of the flexible rack 21 and reduces the friction between the outer shell 11 and the flexible rack 21. The flexible rack 21 includes teeth and sliding parts arranged on both sides of the teeth. The teeth protrude from the sliding parts. The first limiting channel 111 abuts against the bottom, side and top surfaces of the sliding parts to limit the flexible rack 21.

[0026] Optionally, the mechanism assembly 1 includes a rotating shaft 122 connected to the drive component 12. The rotating shaft 122 has a left eccentric structure 14 and a right eccentric structure 15, which are symmetrically positioned with respect to the center of the length of the rotating shaft 122 and inclined relative to the axis of symmetry of the rotating shaft 122. A left massage part 16 and a right massage part 17 are correspondingly mounted on the left eccentric structure 14 and right eccentric structure 15. Understandably, by setting the left eccentric structure 14 and right eccentric structure 15 on the rotating shaft 122 and inclining them relative to the axis of symmetry of the rotating shaft 122, the rotation of the rotating shaft 122 can drive the left massage parts 16 and right massage parts 17 on the left eccentric structure 14 and right eccentric structure 15 to simultaneously perform kneading and tapping massage actions, thereby meeting the user's massage needs.

[0027] Furthermore, the left eccentric structure 14 includes a first eccentric wheel 141 and a second eccentric wheel 142, the right eccentric structure 15 includes a third eccentric wheel 151 and a fourth eccentric wheel 152, the left massage part 16 includes a first massage head 161 and a second massage head 162, and the right massage part 17 includes a third massage head 171 and a fourth massage head 172. The first massage head 161 and the third massage head 171 are mounted on the first eccentric wheel 141 and the third eccentric wheel 151 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the second massage head 162 and the fourth massage head 172 are mounted on the second eccentric wheel 142 and the fourth eccentric wheel 152 in a one-to-one correspondence. Understandably, by setting up four eccentric wheels, four massage heads can be installed on the four eccentric wheels respectively. The four massage heads are symmetrically arranged in pairs to form two groups of massage heads. The first massage head 161 and the third massage head 171 form one group, and the second massage head 162 and the fourth massage head 172 form another group. The two groups of massage heads are staggered along the axis of the rotating shaft 122, which facilitates massage of different positions. The first massage head 161 and the third massage head 171 can be cylindrical, while the second massage head 162 and the fourth massage head 172 can be in the shape of existing shoulder massage heads. In addition, the first massage head 161 and the third massage head 171 can also be connected to the fifth massage head 163 and the sixth massage head 173 in a one-to-one correspondence, so as to facilitate simultaneous massage of multiple positions of the user. The first eccentric wheel 141 and the second eccentric wheel 142 are connected and eccentric in different directions, and the third eccentric wheel 151 and the fourth eccentric wheel 152 are connected and eccentric in different directions. The opposite ends of the first massage head 161 and the second massage head 162 extend into the installation space and are housed in a limiting groove, so that the first massage head 161 and the second massage head 162 can be supported by the inner wall of the limiting groove, thereby improving the support strength of the first massage head 161 and the second massage head 162. The third massage head 171 and the fourth massage head 172 can adopt the same structure. The limiting groove can be formed by the fourth housing 1144 installed on the first housing 1141.

[0028] Furthermore, the drive component 12 also includes a second gear 123, a third gear 124, a fourth gear 125, and a motor 126. The motor 126 and the fourth gear 125 are coupled by a worm gear. The third gear 124 and the second gear 123 are mounted on the rotating shaft 122. The third gear 124 meshes with the fourth gear 125, and the second gear 123 meshes with the third gear 124 and the first gear 121. Understandably, the worm gear coupling between the motor 126 and the fourth gear 125 enables the motor 126 to drive the fourth gear 125 to rotate. The fourth gear 125 then drives the third gear 124 to rotate. The third gear 124 drives the rotating shaft 122 to rotate. The rotating shaft 122 drives the second gears 123 at both ends to rotate. The second gears 123 drive the first gear 121 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 121, in conjunction with the flexible rack 21, enables the movement of the mechanism assembly 1 up and down. Among them, the rotating shaft 122 can be made of multiple segments connected together, and the multiple segments can be made to rotate coaxially through the positioning pin. The second gear 123 and the fourth gear 125 can both be compound gears with combinations of large and small sizes.

[0029] Additionally, an elastic abutment 13 can be provided within the second limiting channel 112 of the mechanism assembly 1. The elastic abutment 13 is used to elastically contact the core bar 222. Understandably, during massage, the user's back applies pressure to the mechanism assembly 1, causing the flexible toothed bar 21 and flexible support bar 22 to elastically deform. This makes it easy for the flexible toothed bar 21 and flexible core bar 222 to form a deep concave curvature at the mechanism assembly 1. The elastic abutment 13 elastically abuts against the flexible support bar 22, allowing the mechanism assembly 1 to smoothly transition through the concave curvature during movement, making the movement of the mechanism assembly 1 smoother. The contact point between the elastic abutment 13 and the flexible support bar can be an arc-shaped surface contact to reduce resistance between them. Alternatively, a rolling contact can be used. The elastic support bar can consist of several elastic columns arranged in an array. The elastic columns can be elastically extended and retracted using springs or hydraulic pressure. The ends of the elastic columns can be set to arc-shaped surfaces to slide or roll in contact with the core bar 222.
