[0010] In this specification, terms such as "first," "second," and "third" are used merely to describe different elements or components and are not limitations on the elements / components themselves, so a first element / component may be renamed a second element / component. Furthermore, the combinations of elements / components / means / modules in this specification are not generally known, common, or conventional combinations in this field, and whether the elements / components / means / modules themselves are conventional does not determine whether the combination relationship is easily achievable by a person skilled in the art.
[0011] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a rhythm chair 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 2 is a schematic plan view of a rhythm device 1000 of the rhythm chair 100 according to the embodiment of Figure 1. The rhythm device 1000 includes a base 1100, a vibration drive means 1200, two vibration linkage means 1300, a swing drive means 1400, a swing linkage means 1500, and a suspension frame 1600.
[0012] The vibration drive means 1200 is provided on the base 1100 and includes a vibration motor 1210 and a vibration drive shaft 1220, and the vibration drive shaft 1220 is driven to rotate by the vibration motor 1210. The vibration interlocking means 1300 are provided symmetrically on both sides of the base 1100 (particularly on both sides with the Y-axis direction as the midline) and are eccentrically driven by the vibration drive means 1200. Each of the vibration interlocking means 1300 includes a transmission plate 1310a, a support plate 1320a, and a swing arm 1330a. The transmission plate 1310a includes upper and lower ends located opposite each other, and the lower end is pivotally attached to one end of the vibration drive shaft 1220. The support plate 1320a includes a fixed end and a fulcrum end located opposite each other, and the fixed end is fixed to the base 1100. The swing arm 1330a is pivotally connected to the fulcrum end of the support plate 1320a and includes an inner end and an outer end positioned opposite to each other, with the inner end being directly pivotally connected to the upper end of the transmission plate 1310a.
[0013] The swing drive means 1400 is provided on the base 1100 and includes a swing motor 1410 and a swing drive shaft 1420, and the swing drive shaft 1420 is driven to rotate by the swing motor 1410. The swing interlocking means 1500 is eccentrically driven by the swing drive means 1400 and includes four swing arms 1510, 1520, which are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the base 1100. In other words, one swing arm 1510 and one swing arm 1520 are arranged on the same side of the base 1100 with a gap between them, and the other swing arm 1510 and other swing arm 1520 are arranged on the other side of the base 1100 with a gap between them. Each of the swing arms 1510, 1520 includes a top end and a bottom end, and the top end of the swing arm 1510 located on one side is directly pivotally connected to the outer end of one of the swing arms 1330a, and the top end of the swing arm 1510 located on the other side is directly pivotally connected to the outer end of the other swing arm 1330a. A suspension frame 1600 is pivotally connected to the bottom ends of the swing arms 1510, 1520. The vibration motor 1210 drives the vibration drive shaft 1220 to swing each of the swing arms 1330a around the fulcrum end of each of the support plates 1320a, thereby driving the swing arms 1510, 1520 to vibrate the suspension frame 1600. The swing motor 1410 drives the swing drive shaft 1420 to drive the swing interlocking means 1500, thereby swinging the suspension frame 1600 horizontally.
[0014] As a result, the swing arms 1510, 1520 are pivotally connected to the suspension frame 1600, so that the swing drive means 1400 can swing the suspension frame 1600 horizontally after driving the swing arms 1510, 1520. Furthermore, the swing arm 1330a is directly pivotally connected to the swing arms 1510, 1520, so there is no need to provide multiple links and multiple pivot points, which achieves the advantage of a simplified structure.
[0015] Please refer to Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6. Also, please refer to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 3 is an exploded schematic view of a portion of the rhythm device 1000 according to the embodiment of Figure 1, Figure 4 is an exploded schematic view of another portion of the rhythm device 1000 according to the embodiment of Figure 1, Figure 5 is an exploded schematic view of yet another portion of the rhythm device 1000 according to the embodiment of Figure 1, and Figure 6 is a schematic side view of the rhythm device 1000 according to the embodiment of Figure 1. The base 1100 may include a rectangular frame 1110, a support frame 1120, and multiple buffer pads 1130. The rectangular frame 1110 includes two side plates (not shown), multiple horizontal bars 1111, and multiple mounting plates 1112. The two side plates are parallel to the Y-axis, and the mounting plate 1112 is parallel to the X-axis and is locked between the two horizontal bars 1111 so as to mount an element. The support frame 1120 includes two main rods (not shown) parallel to the Y axis and connected below the two side plates, respectively, to support the rectangular frame 1110, and a buffer pad 1130 may be provided below the support frame 1120.
[0016] The vibration motor 1210 may be locked to the mounting plate 1112, and the vibration drive shaft 1220 is an eccentric shaft body, and includes a main shaft body 1221 and two eccentric convex shaft portions 1222 eccentrically protruding from both ends of the main shaft body 1221. The vibration drive means 1200 may further include a vibration drive wheel 1240, a vibration drive belt 1230, and two bearing seats 1250. The vibration drive wheel 1240 is fitted to the vibration drive shaft 1220, the vibration drive belt 1230 is fitted to the vibration motor 1210 and the vibration drive wheel 1240, two bearing seats 1250 are arranged at an interval on the mounting plate portion 1112 along the X-axis direction, and both ends of the main shaft body 1221 are drilled into the two bearing seats 1250 so that the two eccentric convex shaft portions 1222 are exposed from the two bearing seats 1250, respectively. In this way, the vibration motor 1210 can drive the vibration drive belt 1230 to move the vibration drive wheel 1240 in conjunction with the vibration drive shaft 1220, thereby rotating the vibration drive shaft 1220 relative to the two bearing seats 1250.
[0017] Each vibration linkage means 1300 may further include a transmission plate 1310b, a support plate 1320b, and a swing arm 1330b, where the transmission plate 1310a, the support plate 1320a, and the swing arm 1330a form a vibration group, and the transmission plate 1310b, the support plate 1320b, and the swing arm 1330b form another vibration group, and the two vibration groups are independent of each other.
[0018] 2 and 4, one side of the vibration-linking means 1300 will be taken as an example. Transmission plates 1310a, 1310b have the same structure, are parallel to the Z axis, and include upper and lower ends located opposite each other. Transmission plates 1310a, 1310b are arranged facing each other, and their lower ends are both pivotally attached to the eccentric convex shaft portion 1222 on the same side. Transmission plate 1310b is located between transmission plate 1310a and main shaft 1221. Swing arm 1330a is pivotally attached to the upper end of transmission plate 1310a, and swing arm 1330b is pivotally attached to the upper end of transmission plate 1310b. Swing arms 1330a and 1330b extend in opposite directions along the Y axis. 2, 4, and 6, with the eccentric convex shaft portion 1222 as the center, the swing arm 1330a is located on the left side and the transmission plate 1310b is located on the right side. The support plate 1320a is locked to the base 1100 and located on the left side of the eccentric convex shaft portion 1222, pivotally connected to the center of the swing arm 1330a, and the outer end of the swing arm 1330a may also be directly pivotally connected to the swing arm 1510. The support plate 1320b is locked to the base 1100 and located on the right side of the eccentric convex shaft portion 1222, pivotally connected to the center of the swing arm 1330b, and the outer end of the swing arm 1330b may also be directly pivotally connected to the swing arm 1520. This forms two vibration groups aligned along the Y axis, allowing the suspension frame 1600 to vibrate up and down along the Z axis. In other embodiments, each of the vibration coupling means may include only a single vibration group and may vibrate with alpha waves. Also, the number of vibration coupling means 1300 is, for example, two, but in other embodiments, it may be a single vibration coupling means, and is not limited thereto.
[0019] Furthermore, each vibration-linking means 1300 may further include two buffer pillars 1340, and the two buffer pillars 1340 located on the same side may be mounted on the base 1100 and connected to two swing arms 1330a, 1330b, respectively. Taking the swing arm 1330a as an example, the swing arm 1330a may include an arm portion 1331a pivotally mounted on the support plate 1320a and a boss 1332a protruding from the arm portion 1331a toward the base 1100. The buffer pillar 1340 includes a buffer pillar 1343 extending in a direction parallel to the base 1100, a first screw member 1341 locked to one end of the buffer pillar 1343 to fix the buffer pillar 1343 to the base 1100, and a second screw member 1342 locked to the other end of the buffer pillar 1343 and positioned by the boss 1332a.
[0020] Specifically, the buffer pillar 1343 may be made of an elastic material such as rubber. The first screw member 1341 may be first locked to the vertical plate, and then the vertical plate may be locked to the base 1100, thereby installing the buffer pillar 1343 parallel to the base 1100. The ends of the arm portion 1331a may be defined as an inner end and an outer end, respectively. The boss 1332a may be located on the left side of the support plate 1320a and include a locking groove. The nut of the second screw member 1342 may be secured in the locking groove to secure the buffer pillar 1340 to the swing arm 1330a. This provides a buffering effect during the swing of the swing arm 1330a. In another embodiment, the buffer pillar may be installed perpendicular to the base.
[0021] The rhythm device 1000 may further include two connecting rods 1710, 1720, where the connecting rod 1710 is parallel to the X-axis and connected between the two swing arms 1330a of the two vibration linkage means 1300, and the connecting rod 1720 is parallel to the X-axis and connected between the two swing arms 1330b of the two vibration linkage means 1300, thereby increasing the lateral force.
[0022] 4 and 5, the swing drive shaft 1420 may have an eccentric shaft structure, and the swing motor 1410 may protrude between two adjacent cross bar portions 1111 and be locked to at least one of the cross bar portions 1111. The swing drive means 1400 may further include a speed reduction belt 1430, a speed reduction wheel 1440, a speed reduction shaft 1450, an oscillation drive wheel 1460, and an oscillation drive belt 1470. The speed reduction belt 1430 is fitted to the drive shaft of the swing motor 1410 and the speed reduction wheel 1440, the speed reduction shaft 1450 is drilled in and connected to the speed reduction wheel 1440, the oscillation drive wheel 1460 is fitted to the swing drive shaft 1420, and the oscillation drive belt 1470 is fitted to the speed reduction wheel 1440 and the oscillation drive wheel 1460 so as to transmit the rotational force to the swing drive shaft 1420 after reduction. Other embodiments may not include the reduction belt, reduction wheel, and reduction shaft, but are not limited thereto.
[0023] The swing linkage means 1500 may include two linkage plates 1530, each of which may be pivotally connected at both ends to one end of the swing drive shaft 1420 and the swing arm 1520, respectively. This allows the swing motor 1410 to drive the swing drive shaft 1420 to link the linkage plate 1530 and swing the swing arm 1520 horizontally. It should be noted that when one side of the swing linkage means has only a single vibration group, the swing arm pivotally connected to the linkage plate may be different from or the same as the swing arm pivotally connected to the vibration group. The number of swing arms may be two or more as needed, and is not limited to the above disclosure. Note that some elements in the drawings may be formed into an integrated element by welding or manufacturing, and are not limited to the illustrations.
[0024] The suspension frame 1600 may include a top frame 1610 and a connecting frame 1620. The connecting frame 1620 may include two mounting rods connected to the bottom of the top frame 1610 and parallel to the X-axis. One mounting rod is adjacent to the two swing arms 1510 and is used to pivotally connect the two swing arms 1510, while the other mounting rod is adjacent to the two swing arms 1520 and is used to pivotally connect the two swing arms 1520. As shown in FIG. 1 , the Rhythm chair 100 may further include a chair frame 2000. The chair frame 2000 may be attached to the suspension frame 1600, particularly to the top frame 1610 of the suspension frame 1600, so that the chair frame 2000 can move when the suspension frame 1600 vibrates or swings horizontally. In other embodiments, the suspension frame may have a housing structure that allows a person to stand on the top of the suspension frame, and the present invention is not limited to the Rhythm chair.
[0025] The present disclosure has been disclosed as described above in the examples, but the examples are not intended to limit the present disclosure, and any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present disclosure is determined based on what is defined by the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
