Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of massage equipment technology, specifically to a foot massager. Background Technology

[0002] Foot massage, as an effective way to relax and maintain health, is increasingly favored by modern people, driving the market development of various foot massage devices. Currently, most mainstream foot massagers on the market focus on basic functions such as kneading, rolling, vibration, and heat application.

[0003] While these conventional massage techniques can relax the muscles in the soles of the feet to some extent, their effects are relatively superficial and their patterns are rather limited. Specifically, rolling and kneading mainly target the meridians and superficial muscles of the soles of the feet, while vibration provides a wide-ranging, diffuse stimulation that is difficult to apply precisely and powerfully to key acupoints in the center of the foot (such as the Yongquan acupoint).

[0004] Many users have reported that the massage intensity and modes of existing products are "superficial" and cannot simulate the deep relaxation sensation brought about by a professional therapist using their knuckles to apply precise pressure or pound with their fist. This deep, rhythmic tapping massage function is precisely the key to effectively relieving deep fatigue and unblocking meridians.

[0005] Therefore, consumers' functional needs for foot massagers are no longer limited to basic, superficial relaxation, but they expect them to provide a more diverse, professional, and deeper massage experience. Utility Model Content

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a foot massager that can precisely target the soles of the feet and provide a deep, anthropomorphic tapping massage mode, thereby making up for the shortcomings of existing products in terms of functional depth and layering.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a foot massager, comprising a housing and a sole-tapping mechanism, wherein the sole-tapping mechanism is configured to perform tapping massage on the soles of the user's feet; the sole-tapping mechanism includes: The base is connected to the housing and is also connected to an elastic guide member; The massage head is positioned in an area where a tapping massage of the soles of the feet can be performed; A driving element, used as a power source to drive the movement of the massage head; and A transmission component, one end of which is connected to the massage head and the other end of which is connected to the drive component, so as to convert the rotational motion of the drive component into eccentric oscillation. The elastic guide member is configured to restrict the radial movement of one end of the transmission assembly or the massage head, but can move axially with the one end of the transmission assembly or the massage head to realize the reciprocating motion of the massage head along its own axis.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the deformation characteristics of the elastic guide component are utilized to efficiently convert the eccentric oscillation generated by the transmission component into a linear reciprocating tapping motion of the massage head perpendicular to the sole of the foot. The structure is ingenious and compact, achieving a precise and deep anthropomorphic tapping effect on the sole of the foot.

[0009] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a crankshaft and a connecting arm. One end of the crankshaft is connected to the drive shaft of the drive member, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting arm. The other end of the connecting arm is connected to the massage head.

[0010] Furthermore, the elastic guide member is connected to the massage head, and the other end of the connecting arm is fixedly connected to the massage head. When the crankshaft drives the one end of the connecting arm to rotate eccentrically, the elastic guide member resists the radial movement of the massage head through its own deformation, thereby realizing the reciprocating motion of the other end of the connecting arm.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic guide component acts directly on the massage head, which can most directly limit its radial sway and absorb impact, making the linear motion of the massage head more pure and stable, while playing a role in buffering and shock absorption.

[0012] Furthermore, the elastic guide member is connected to the other end of the connecting arm. When the crankshaft drives the one end of the connecting arm to rotate eccentrically, the elastic guide member resists the radial movement of the other end of the connecting arm through its own deformation, thereby enabling the other end of the connecting arm to drive the massage head to reciprocate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic guide component is set at the connection between the connecting arm and the massage head, which can also effectively constrain radial movement and realize the reciprocating motion of the massage head's tapping action.

[0014] Furthermore, one end of the crankshaft is a shaft portion and the other end is a hole portion. The shaft portion is rotatably connected to the connecting arm, and the hole portion is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the drive component.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the specific structure of the crankshaft is clarified. Its shaft part is used to output eccentric rotation, and its hole part is used to achieve a stable connection with the drive shaft, which is easy to process and assemble.

[0016] Furthermore, the hole and the drive shaft of the drive member are provided with at least one pair of mating planes to enable the drive member to drive the crankshaft to rotate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, torque is transmitted through planar mating, ensuring the reliability and synchronization of power transmission, while also having a simple structure and low cost.

[0018] Furthermore, the drive component is fixed to the frame by a buffer frame, the base includes an upper cover and a lower cover, and the axial direction of the drive shaft of the drive component is perpendicular to the fastening direction of the upper cover and the lower cover.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solutions, the buffer structure becomes the first vibration reduction barrier, effectively isolating the vibration of the drive components (such as the motor) from being transmitted to the frame and even the housing. The layout, with the drive shaft direction perpendicular to the fastening direction, helps optimize the internal space of the movement, making the structure more compact.

[0020] Furthermore, the buffer frame is provided with a buffer element, and the upper cover and the lower cover are connected through the buffer element.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the buffer component forms a second vibration damping barrier. It creates an elastic connection between the drive component and the frame, further absorbing vibrations and noise during operation, and significantly improving the overall quietness of the machine.

[0022] Furthermore, the buffer element passes through the buffer frame, and its two ends abut against the upper cover and the lower cover, respectively.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, this installation method enables the buffer to undergo uniform deformation when subjected to pressure from the upper and lower covers, which not only provides a firm fixation but also offers stable and reliable buffering performance.

[0024] Furthermore, the buffer frame is provided with a C-shaped bracket, the buffer element is located inside the C-shaped bracket, the buffer element is provided with a through hole, the upper cover and / or the lower cover is provided with a fixing post, the buffer element is sleeved outside the fixing post and accommodated inside the C-shaped bracket, so as to realize the elastic connection between the upper cover and the lower cover.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation between the C-shaped bracket and the fixed column achieves precise positioning and limiting of the buffer component, preventing it from shifting during operation. At the same time, it facilitates the assembly of the buffer component, ensuring the long-lasting effectiveness and stable reliability of the buffer system.

[0026] In summary, this application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Achieves precise and deep anthropomorphic tapping: Through a unique "eccentric swing-elastic constraint" transmission mechanism, the rotational motion is efficiently converted into a straight reciprocating tapping motion perpendicular to the sole of the foot, with deep force and strong rhythm, effectively mimicking the hammering action of a human hand.

[0027] 2. Smooth operation and low noise: The application of elastic guide components and the multi-layer buffer installation of the drive components (buffer frame, buffer component) greatly absorb mechanical vibration and impact, making the mechanism run quietly and smoothly, and improving the user experience.

[0028] 3. Simplified structure, reliable and low cost: This solution uses the deformation of elastic guide components to replace the complex linear guide mechanism, which simplifies the structure, reduces the number of parts, and reduces manufacturing and assembly costs while achieving excellent performance.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application 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 application.

[0035] The technical solutions of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0036] Example 1 Please see Figures 1 to 7This embodiment discloses a foot massager. The device includes a housing 1 and a massage mechanism 3 disposed within the housing 1. The massage mechanism 3 includes a first massage element 31 for massaging the heel, a second massage element 33 for massaging the sole, and a foot-tapping mechanism 32 for tapping the sole. The first massage element 31 and the second massage element 33 are rotatably connected to a frame 2, which is fixedly connected to the housing 1. The first massage element 31 and the second massage element 33 are connected by a linkage component 34 to achieve synchronous rotation. The linkage component 34 is a belt drive. A drive motor 35 is disposed on the frame 2, which drives the second massage element 33 to rotate. The second massage element 33 drives the first massage element 31 to rotate via a transmission belt. The foot-tapping mechanism 32 is disposed between the first massage element 31 and the second massage element 33 and is used to tap and massage the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of the foot.

[0037] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The foot-stomping mechanism 32 includes a frame 2, a massage head 321, a drive component, and a transmission assembly. The frame 2 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, providing a mounting base for the entire foot-stomping mechanism 32. A base is fixed on the frame 2, and the base includes an upper cover 324 and a lower cover 323. An elastic guide component is provided on the upper cover 324. The periphery of the elastic guide component 322 is fixed to the upper cover 324, and its center is fixedly connected to the connecting arm 327 via a nut 3271. This elastic guide component can be made of elastic materials such as rubber, silicone, or springs. The transmission assembly is located within the assembly space enclosed by the upper cover 324 and the lower cover 323.

[0038] The massage head 321 is used to contact the sole of the foot to perform tapping massage, and its shape can be spherical, hemispherical, or other shapes suitable for massage. The driving component is a tapping motor 325, which is mounted on the frame 2 and serves as the power source for driving the massage head 321.

[0039] The transmission assembly includes a crankshaft 326 and a connecting arm 327. One end of the crankshaft 326 is connected to the drive shaft of the drive component, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting arm 327. The other end of the connecting arm 327 is connected to the massage head 321.

[0040] Please see Figures 4-6 In this embodiment, the elastic guide member is connected to the other end of the connecting arm 327. When the crankshaft 326 drives one end of the connecting arm 327 to rotate eccentrically, the elastic guide member resists the radial movement of the other end of the connecting arm 327 through its own deformation, while allowing it to move axially, thereby enabling the other end of the connecting arm 327 to drive the massage head 321 to perform axial reciprocating motion.

[0041] The elastic guide member includes a wave-shaped deformable part 3221, a connecting hole 3222, and a fixing hole 3223. The elastic guide member is fixedly connected to the top cover 324 by fasteners such as screws passing through the fixing hole 3223. The connecting arm 327 is threadedly fixed to the massage head 321 through the connecting hole 3222. The deformable part 3221 can hinder the radial movement of the connecting arm 327, but does not hinder the axial movement of the connecting arm 327, and can follow the axial movement of the connecting arm 327.

[0042] Please see Figure 7 The crankshaft 326 can have a shaft portion 3261 at one end and a hole portion 3262 at the other end. The shaft portion 3261 is rotatably connected to the connecting arm 327, and the hole portion 3262 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the drive component.

[0043] To ensure reliable torque transmission, the hole 3262 and the drive shaft of the drive component can be provided with mutually cooperating anti-rotation structures, such as one or more pairs of mutually cooperating planes, spline structures or keyway structures, etc. In this embodiment, it is a D-shaped hole.

[0044] The working principle of this mechanism is as follows: After the tapping motor 325 is started, the rotational motion is converted into an eccentric oscillation at the connection end between the connecting arm 327 and the tapping motor 325 via the crankshaft 326. Due to the limiting effect of the elastic guide member on the radial motion, the eccentric oscillation at the connection end between the connecting arm 327 and the massage head 321 is converted into a linear reciprocating motion along its axial direction, thereby realizing the tapping massage of the soles of the feet.

[0045] Example 2 The main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the installation position and connection method of the elastic guide component.

[0046] Please see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the elastic guide member is directly connected to the massage head 321. The other end of the connecting arm 327 is fixedly connected to the massage head 321. When the crankshaft 326 drives one end of the connecting arm 327 to rotate eccentrically, the elastic guide member resists the radial movement of the massage head 321 through its own deformation, while allowing the massage head 321 to move axially.

[0047] This variation in installation method demonstrates the flexibility of the technical solution of this invention. Those skilled in the art can select different installation positions for the elastic guide components according to specific design requirements without affecting the basic technical effect.

[0048] It should be noted that the connection between the connecting arm 327 and the massage head 321 can also be adjustable. For example, the height of the massage head 321 can be adjusted via a threaded connection, or the massage head 321 can be quickly replaced via a quick-release structure.

[0049] Example 3 Please see Figures 8-13 This embodiment improves the mounting structure of the drive component based on the above embodiments.

[0050] The striking motor 325 is fixed to the frame 2 by a buffer bracket 329. The frame 2 includes an upper cover 324 and a lower cover 323, and the axis of the drive shaft of the striking motor 325 is perpendicular to the fastening direction of the upper cover 324 and the lower cover 323. This arrangement is beneficial for optimizing the internal space layout.

[0051] The buffer frame 329 is equipped with a buffer element 328, and the upper cover 324 and the lower cover 323 are connected by the buffer element 328. The buffer element 328 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber, silicone, or polyurethane. The buffer element 328 passes through the buffer frame 329, and its two ends abut against the upper cover 324 and the lower cover 323 respectively. The lower cover 323 is equipped with a fixing post 3231, which passes through the buffer element 328 and is fixedly connected to the upper cover 324 by screws.

[0052] The buffer frame 329 is provided with a C-shaped bracket 3291 and a motor frame 3292. The striking motor 325 is fixed on the motor frame 3292, and the buffer element 328 is located inside the C-shaped bracket 3291. The buffer element 328 is provided with a through hole 3282, and the two ends of the buffer element 328 are provided with flanges 3281. The lower cover 323 is provided with a fixing post 3231. The buffer element 328 is sleeved on the fixing post 3231 and accommodated in the C-shaped bracket 3291. The flanges 3281 at both ends of the buffer element 328 abut against the upper cover 324 and the lower cover 323 respectively, realizing the elastic connection between the upper cover 324 and the lower cover 323.

[0053] This cushioning structure can effectively reduce the transmission of vibration from the impact motor 325 to the housing 1, improving user comfort. Those skilled in the art will understand that the specific form of the cushioning element 328 can vary; for example, multiple small cushioning elements 328 can be combined, or cushioning elements 328 of different hardness can be used in combination.

[0054] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
