Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A walking massager is a common home or commercial massage device that uses a massage mechanism that moves back and forth along a guide rail to massage and relax back muscles. A walking massager mainly consists of a guide rail, a massage mechanism that moves along the guide rail, a base, and a cover that encloses the massage mechanism and guide rail.

[0003] Existing walking massagers typically employ two types of guide rail mounting structures: one mounts the guide rails onto a rigid support frame; the other connects the ends of two guide rails using two crossbeams. These two mounting methods have the following drawbacks: First, the installation process is complex and time-consuming, requiring precise adjustments to the parallelism and position of the guide rails, resulting in numerous assembly steps and relatively low efficiency. Second, these rigid structures offer insufficient massage range and comfort, failing to adapt to the body shapes of different users, leading to poor fit. Furthermore, rigid support structures are prone to vibration and noise during use, and their hard texture upon contact with the body negatively impacts the overall massage experience. Finally, over time and with prolonged use, the connection between the guide rails and the support structure may loosen, affecting the normal operation of the walking massage mechanism and resulting in poor stability. Therefore, improvements to the existing structure are needed to address these issues and enhance the overall user experience of the massager.

[0004] In view of this, this utility model addresses the many shortcomings and inconveniences caused by the imperfect design of the existing walking massager guide rail installation structure, and has been developed through in-depth conceiving, active research and improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a walking massager and its guide rail mounting structure that is easy to install, has good adaptability, can improve massage comfort and reduce noise.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is: A guide rail mounting structure for a walking massager includes two guide rails and a soft plastic base plate, with the two guide rails arranged parallel and spaced apart on the base plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the base plate and guide rail are respectively provided with mounting lock holes, and the guide rail and base plate are locked together by a locking assembly; the thickness of the base plate is 1-8mm.

[0008] The present invention can also adopt the following technical solutions: A walking massager includes a massage mechanism, two guide rails and a soft plastic base plate. The two guide rails are arranged parallel to each other on the base plate, and each guide rail is provided with a corresponding rack. The massage mechanism is provided with gears that mesh with the two racks, so that the massage mechanism can be slidably mounted on the guide rails. The massage mechanism includes a power-operating mechanism, and a conductive plate is provided on the guide rail. The power-operating mechanism of the massage mechanism is in sliding contact with the conductive plate, and the conductive plate is electrically connected to the power source. The conductive plate supplies power to the massage mechanism through the power-operating mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, each guide rail includes two mounting seats, a support part, and a movable groove. The height of the mounting seat is greater than the height of the support part. The two ends of the support part are respectively connected to the upper parts of the two mounting seats. The bottom surface of the support part and the two sides of the mounting seat corresponding to the bottom surface of the support part form the movable groove. The rack of the guide rail is set on one side or the top surface of the support part. The bottom sides of the massage mechanism are provided with sliding bases that reciprocate along the movable grooves of the two guide rails.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting base, support, and movable groove of the guide rail are integrally formed, and corresponding racks are provided on opposite sides of the two guide rails, with the rack length being greater than the length of the movable groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the massage mechanism includes a housing, a transmission module, and a massage head. The sliding bases are located at both ends of the bottom of the housing. The transmission module is disposed inside the housing, and the massage head is disposed on the top surface of the housing and connected to the transmission module. Each sliding base includes a fixed seat and a pressure plate. One end of the fixed seat is fixed to the housing, and the other end of the fixed seat protrudes to the bottom surface of the housing. The fixed seat has a guide rail groove extending upward from the bottom. The width of the guide rail groove is greater than the sum of the widths of the guide support and the rack. The pressure plate is disposed at the bottom of the fixed seat and limits the guide rail within the guide rail groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the top surface of one of the guide rails is provided with multiple slots arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The conductive sheet is a plurality of conductive copper sheets, which are installed in the slots. The massage mechanism is provided with a probe group protruding into the guide rail groove of the sliding base corresponding to the guide rail. The probe group has a plurality of probes corresponding to each conductive copper sheet.

[0013] Furthermore, each slot has a top opening at the center of its top surface for the probe to insert into, and a limiting protrusion is formed between the top opening of each slot and the two sides of the slot to restrict the conductive copper strip inside the slot. Each slot has an installation opening at at least one end at the front and back for the conductive copper sheet to be installed.

[0014] Furthermore, the slot has three slots and three conductive copper strips. One conductive copper strip is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, another conductive copper strip is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply, and the third conductive copper strip serves as a signal transmission line for transmitting control signals.

[0015] Furthermore, one of the two guide rails is provided with a conductive copper sheet, and the other guide rail is provided with a magnet at least at the front and rear ends of the top of the support. The massage mechanism is provided with a Hall plate on one side corresponding to the magnet for cooperating with the magnet.

[0016] With the above structure, the guide rail mounting structure of this walking massager utilizes the synergistic effect of a flexible base plate and guide rail layout, changing the guide rail mounting carrier from rigid to flexible. This allows it to absorb mechanical vibrations and adapt to changes in the curvature of the human body. The use of a dual-guide rail parallel layout combined with an integral flexible base plate simultaneously resolves the contradiction between assembly accuracy and structural stability. Compared to existing technologies, traditional guide rails rely on a rigid frame to maintain the guide rail spacing, requiring multiple steps to adjust parallelism. This solution automatically corrects guide rail position deviations through base plate material deformation. Existing technologies use crossbeam connection structures to form multi-point support, which easily generates resonance noise. This solution uses an integral base plate to evenly distribute vibration energy, and the flexible contact surface of the base plate improves user comfort. This invention simplifies the guide rail installation process; during assembly, only the guide rail needs to be fixed to the pre-drilled holes, eliminating the need for repeated parallelism adjustments. During massage mechanism operation, the soft plastic base plate effectively attenuates mechanical vibrations and reduces noise levels. The flexible base plate can adjust the support angle according to changes in the curvature of the human body, improving adaptability for users of different body types. In addition, the base plate can also catch the lubricating oil dripping from the massage mechanism, keeping the massager's appearance clean. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.

[0020] 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.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a walking massager, which includes two guide rails 1, a soft plastic base plate 2, and a massage mechanism 3. The two guide rails 1 are arranged parallel and spaced apart on the base plate 2, and corresponding racks 12 are provided on the two guide rails 1 respectively. The massage mechanism 3 is provided with gears 31 that mesh with the two racks 12, so that the massage mechanism 3 can be slidably arranged on the guide rails 1.

[0022] The parallel spacing of the two guide rails 1 refers to a symmetrical arrangement in which the two guide rails 1 maintain a constant spacing along the length of the base plate 2. This layout forms a stable guiding channel on the surface of the base plate 2, while reducing local stress concentration by ensuring the overall force distribution of the base plate 2. The thickness of the base plate is 1-8mm.

[0023] The base plate 2 and guide rail 1 can be fixed in various ways, such as by locking, gluing, using a snap-fit ​​structure, or other connection methods. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the base plate 2 and the guide rail 1 are respectively provided with mounting lock holes 21 and 11, and the guide rail 1 and the base plate 2 are locked together by the locking assembly.

[0024] In this embodiment, each guide rail 1 includes two mounting seats 13, a support portion 14, and a movable groove 15. The height of the mounting seat 13 is greater than the height of the support portion 12. The two ends of the support portion 14 are respectively connected to the upper parts of the two mounting seats 13. The bottom surface of the support portion 14 and the two sides of the mounting seat 13 corresponding to the bottom surface of the support portion 14 form the movable groove 15. The rack 12 of the guide rail 1 is set on one side or the top surface of the support portion 14. The bottom sides of the massage mechanism 3 are provided with sliding bases 3D that reciprocate along the movable grooves 15 of the two guide rails 1. The mounting seat 13 is used to support the guide rail 1 and fix it to the load-bearing structure of the base plate 2. By increasing the height of the mounting seat 13, a height difference space is formed with the support portion 14, providing a running channel for the movable groove 15 to accommodate the sliding base 3D. The movable groove 15 is a guide channel formed by the bottom surface of the support portion 14 and the side surface of the mounting seat 13. It is used to constrain the movement trajectory of the sliding base 3D of the massage mechanism 3 and prevent the massage mechanism 3 from derailing during operation. The interaction between the movable groove 15 and the sliding base 3D effectively suppresses lateral swaying during the operation of the massage mechanism 3, improves the meshing stability of the gear 31 and the rack 12, and reduces transmission noise.

[0025] Preferably, the mounting base 13, support 14, and movable groove 15 of the guide rail 1 can be integrally formed by injection molding or die casting, which enhances the overall structural rigidity of the guide rail 1 and avoids the risk of misalignment or loosening caused by separate assembly. Corresponding racks are provided on opposite sides of the two guide rails. The length of the rack 12 is greater than the length of the movable groove 15, meaning that the extension range of the rack 12 covers the entire stroke area of ​​the movable groove 15. This can be achieved by extending both ends of the rack 12 onto the mounting base 13. When the massage mechanism 3 is running, the two ends of the movable groove 15 are the limits of the massage mechanism 3's movement. Designing the length of the rack 12 to be greater than the length of the movable groove 15 ensures that the massage mechanism 3 remains engaged when sliding to the limit position.

[0026] The massage mechanism 3 of this utility model includes a housing 3A, a transmission module 3B, and a massage head 3C. The sliding bases 3D are provided at both ends of the bottom of the housing 3A. The transmission module 3B is disposed inside the housing 3A. The massage head 3C is disposed on the top surface of the housing 3A and connected to the transmission module 3B. Each sliding base 3D includes a fixing seat 32 and a pressure plate 33. One end of the fixing seat 32 is fixed to the housing 3A, and the other end of the fixing seat 32 protrudes to the bottom surface of the housing 3A. The fixing seat 32 has a guide rail groove 321 extending upward from the bottom. The width of the guide rail groove 321 is greater than the sum of the widths of the guide support part 13 and the rack 12. The pressure plate 33 is disposed at the bottom of the fixing seat 32 and the guide rail 1 is limited in the guide rail groove 321 by the pressure plate 33.

[0027] One of the guide rails 1 has multiple parallel and spaced slots 16 on its top surface. Multiple conductive copper sheets 4 are installed in the slots 16. The massage mechanism 3 has a probe group 34 protruding into the guide rail groove 321 of the sliding base 3D corresponding to the guide rail 1. The probe group 34 has multiple probes corresponding to each conductive copper sheet 4. When the massage mechanism 3 moves on the guide rail 1, the probe group 34 on the massage mechanism 3 maintains continuous sliding contact with the conductive copper sheets 4. The probe group 34 is connected to the circuit board inside the massage mechanism 3 through conductive wires. The conductive copper sheets 4 conduct current through the probe group 34 to the circuit board, which then distributes and controls the current to drive the motor and other functional modules of the massage mechanism 3, enabling the massage mechanism 3 to perform various massage actions such as rotating the massage head 3 and moving along the guide rail 1.

[0028] Each slot 16 has a top opening 17 at its center for a probe to insert into. A limiting protrusion 18 is formed between the top opening 17 and the two sides of each slot 16 to confine the conductive copper strip 4 within the slot 16. Each slot 16 has at least one mounting opening 19 at its front or rear end for mounting the conductive copper sheet 4. In this embodiment, there are three slots 16 and three conductive copper sheets 4. One conductive copper sheet 4 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, another is connected to the negative terminal, and the third serves as a signal transmission line for transmitting control signals, such as commands to adjust the massage mode, massage intensity, or movement speed of the massage mechanism, to precisely control the working state of the massage mechanism.

[0029] One of the two guide rails 1 is equipped with the conductive copper sheet 4, and the other guide rail 1 is equipped with magnets at least at the front and rear ends of the top of the support part 14. The massage mechanism has a Hall plate on one side corresponding to the magnet for cooperating with the magnet. The movement trajectory of the massage head 3C of the massage mechanism 3 is determined by the relative position of the magnet 5 and the Hall plate 6, so as to achieve precise point massage.

[0030] 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.
