Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of massage equipment, and in particular to an intelligent massage chair. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid pace of life, the problem of being in between sickness and health is becoming more and more prominent, and the demand for massage is constantly increasing. Traditional massage is limited in terms of space, cost and the professional level of staff, so it is difficult for the popularity to increase rapidly, but the intelligent massage chair can be used in spare time, can be used at home and is low cost, so it is being supported by the masses.
[0003] Currently, intelligent massage chairs on the market generally have a three-sided structure. That is, the intelligent massage chair includes a chair frame with a backrest and armrests attached to the left and right sides of the chair frame, the backrest of the chair frame is provided behind the user and is used to support the user's body, and the armrests are provided on the left and right sides of the user and are used to support the user's arms. The backrest and the two armrests are generally located at a high position, and the user needs to sit on the massage chair from the front when using the massage chair. However, the conventional intelligent massage chair generally further has a leg massage device on the front, which is used to massage the user's lower legs, which is a certain hindrance for users with disabilities when sitting on the massage chair from the front. In recent years, some solutions to this problem have been developed in this field.
[0004] For example, the massage chair disclosed in the Japanese patent publication number JP 2013-212349A can store a leg massage device under the seat of the chair frame, and the leg massage device is prevented from interfering with the user's front-facing seating on the massage chair, making it easier for the user to sit on the massage chair from the front. However, the height and depth of the seat are limited by the appropriate value in ergonomics, and the leg massage device needs to be stored under the seat, which greatly limits the size of the leg massage device, and the leg massage device must be small. However, under the premise that massage devices and functions are becoming more and more abundant at present, a leg massage device with a small volume cannot meet the demands of the public.
[0005] Furthermore, for example, a massage chair disclosed in a Chinese patent publication having publication number CN107693297A is provided with armrests that can be opened from the side of the chair frame. The chair frame includes a base (i.e., a seat) and a backrest, and the rear side of the armrest is rotatably connected to the backrest, and the front side of the armrest is connected to the base by an openable and closable locking member. In this way, the armrest can be rotated outwardly by 0-90° around a vertically extending axis, which makes it easier for a user to sit on the massage chair from the side. However, since the armrests open outward, a sufficient space must be left outside the massage chair in the process of opening the armrests, which is disadvantageous in placing the massage chair in a narrow space. In addition, after a user sits on the massage chair from the side, the user must further turn his / her body to pull the armrests back inward, which is inconvenient when using.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0025] Hereinafter, the implementation of the present invention will be described through specific examples, and those skilled in the art will easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention based on the contents disclosed in this specification.

At the same time, terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle", and "one" cited in this specification are also merely for the purpose of clarity and ease of explanation, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and any change or adjustment of the relative relationship is also considered to be within the scope of the present invention, provided that there is no substantial change in the technical content.
[0027] The present application provides an intelligent massage chair, which is abbreviated as massage chair. As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the massage chair includes a chair frame 10 and armrests 20 attached to both the left and right sides of the chair frame 10. In particular, as shown in Fig. 5, at least one armrest 20 and the chair frame 10 are rotatably connected through a reversing device 30. In this manner, only the left armrest 20 and the chair frame 10 may be connected through the reversing device 30, only the right armrest 20 and the chair frame 10 may be connected through the reversing device 30, or both the left and right armrests 20 and the chair frame 10 may be connected through the reversing device 30. In this embodiment, both the left and right armrests 20 are connected to the chair frame 10 through one reversing device 30, and the connection structure between the chair frame 10 and the left armrest 20 and the connection structure between the chair frame 10 and the right armrest 20 are symmetrical. Hereinafter, a preferred connection structure between the armrest 20 and the chair frame 10 will be described using the right armrest 20 of the massage chair as an example.
[0028] As shown in FIG. 5, the inversion device 30 includes a base 31 attached to the right side of the chair frame 10, and an inversion fixing member 32 attached to the base 31 so as to be rotatable around a rotation axis extending left and right, and the inversion fixing member 32 and the armrest 20 are fixed to each other. Therefore, when the inversion fixing member 32 rotates around the rotation axis extending left and right, the inversion fixing member 32 rotates the armrest 20 together. That is, the armrest 20 is inverted up and down. In this way, when a user needs to sit on the massage chair, the inversion fixing member 32 of the inversion device 30 can be rotated, and the inversion fixing member 32 inverts the armrest 20 upward to the set position or downward to the set position. FIG. 2 shows the armrest 20 rotated and opened from the side by inverting the armrest 20 upward from the normal massage position W1 to the set position W2. The armrest 20 is in an open state, and a side seating opening 40 is formed on the right side of the chair frame 10 to allow the user to sit on the massage chair from the side, making it easier for the user to sit on the massage chair, especially for users with disabilities. The armrest 20 is opened by rotating upside down, not by being inverted outward around a vertical axis as in the prior art. Therefore, it is not necessary to leave a large space on both the left and right sides of the massage chair in the process of forming the side seating opening 40 by inverting the armrest 20. This reduces the space occupied by the massage chair, which is advantageous for placing the massage chair in a narrow place, and ultimately greatly improves the convenience of using the massage chair. After the user sits on the massage chair from the side of the massage chair, the inversion fixing member 32 of the inversion device 30 rotates in the opposite direction and resets, and the armrest 20 is also inverted in the opposite direction and resets. The armrest 20 is in a closed state, and the massage chair can then be used normally.This eliminates the need for the user to manually fasten the armrest 20 after sitting in the massage chair as in the conventional technology, improving convenience in operating the massage chair and, on the other hand, increasing the ease of use of the massage chair.
[0029] Furthermore, the fixing method between the armrest 20 and the inverted fixing member 32 is preferably as follows. As shown in FIG. 5, the armrest 20 is provided with an inverted connecting plate 23 on its inner surface (i.e., the left side surface) facing the chair frame 10, and the inverted connecting plate 23 is provided with a fixing groove 21. The contour shape of the fixing groove 21 and the contour shape of the inverted fixing member 32 are compatible with each other, both of which are elliptical, and the inverted fixing member 32 is attached in the fixing groove 21 by interference fit. This realizes the fixed connection between the inverted fixing member 32 and the armrest 20. Preferably, the armrest 20 and the inverted fixing member 32 are provided with a positioning groove and a positioning post 321 connected to each other, which on the one hand realizes the positioning when the armrest and the inverted fixing member 32 are fixedly connected, and on the other hand, can also improve the reliability of the fixed connection between the armrest 20 and the inverted fixing member 32. Based on this, as shown in Fig. 5, a positioning post 321 is fixed in the fixing groove 21 in the armrest 20, and as shown in Fig. 10 and Fig. 11, a positioning groove that fits tightly with the positioning post 321 is provided on the outer surface (i.e., the right side surface) of the reversible fixing member 32 facing the groove bottom of the fixing groove 21. Alternatively, as shown in Fig. 10 and Fig. 11, the positioning post 321 is provided integrally with the outer surface of the reversible fixing member 32, and a positioning groove that fits tightly with the positioning post 321 is provided on the groove bottom of the fixing groove 21 in the armrest 20.
[0030] 1 and 2, the chair frame 10 includes a back frame 101 used to support the back of the user, and a seat frame 102 used to support the buttocks and thighs of the user, and the back frame 101 and the seat frame 102 may be fixedly connected or rotatably connected via a rotating shaft. The massage chair further includes a leg massage device 60 used to massage the lower legs of the user, the leg massage device 60 is provided on the front side of the seat frame 102 and rotatably connected to the seat frame 102 via a rotating shaft. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a stopper protrusion 22 is fixed to the bottom of the front side of the armrest 20, and a stopper groove 104 is provided in the seat frame 102 of the chair frame 10. When a user sits on the massage chair through the side seating opening 40 on the side of the chair frame 10, the armrest 20 is inverted upward and in an open state, and the stopper protrusion 22 is released from the stopper groove 104 as shown in Fig. 3. When a user sits on the massage chair and uses it normally, the armrest 20 is not inverted upward and is in a closed state. As shown in Fig. 4, the armrest 20 closes the side seating opening 40 and the stopper protrusion 22 is inserted into the stopper groove 104, thereby restricting the left and right rocking of the front end of the armrest 20, and improving the stability of the armrest 20 when the massage chair is in normal use.
[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the back frame 101 and the seat frame 102 of the chair frame 10 are rotatably connected, and the back frame 101 of the chair frame 10 can be placed in a lying state, which enhances the comfort of using the massage chair. The rotation of the back frame 101 and the inversion of the armrest 20 may or may not be linked. When the two are not linked, when the back frame 101 is tilted sideways, the position and angle of the armrest 20 in the massage chair do not change, and the position of the user's arms does not change relative to the seat frame 102. At this time, the base 31 of the inversion device 30 and the chair frame 10 are fixedly connected by a plurality of screws. When the two are linked, when the back frame 101 is tilted sideways, the angle of the armrest 20 in the massage chair changes, and the position of the user's arms also changes relative to the seat frame 102, which further enhances the comfort of using the massage chair. At this time, the intelligent massage chair further includes a connecting rod 50 connected between the back frame 101 of the chair frame 10 and the inverting device 30, and the angle of the armrest 20 in the massage chair can be adjusted by the connecting rod 50.
[0032] 5 to 7, the base 31 and the back frame 101 are hingedly connected by a first pin shaft fixed to the back frame 101, the base 31 and the rear end of the connecting rod 50 are hingedly connected by a second pin shaft fixed to the base 31, and the front end of the connecting rod 50 and the seat frame 102 are hingedly connected by a third pin shaft fixed to the seat frame 102. In this way, the first pin shaft parts of the base 31 and the back frame are both provided with a first shaft hole 311 for rotational connection, the second pin shaft parts of the base 31 and the rear end of the connecting rod 50 are both provided with a second shaft hole 313 for rotational connection, and the third pin shaft parts of the front end of the connecting rod 50 and the seat frame 102 are both provided with a third shaft hole for rotational connection, and the first and second pin shafts are distributed with a deviation. When the angle between the back frame 101 and the seat frame 102 changes, the angle of the base 31 is changed through the connecting rod 50, which changes the angle of the whole inversion device 30 relative to the back frame 101, and also changes the angle of the armrest 20 fixed to the inversion device 30 relative to the back frame 101. Or, it can be said that the angle of the armrest 20 relative to the back frame 101 matches the angle of the back frame 101 relative to the seat frame 102, and the relative position between the armrest 20 and the back frame 101 is avoided from being changed significantly. For example, when the back frame 101 rotates backward relative to the seat frame 102, the user falls backward. At the same time, the inversion device 30 moves the armrest 20 backward together relative to the seat frame 102, and the arm also moves backward, which ensures that the position of the user's arm is not changed significantly, making it more comfortable to use.
[0033] Preferably, an axle cover is fixed in the first axle hole 311 of the base 31, and the first pin axle is rotatably inserted in the axle cover, so that the lubrication is ensured when the base 31 rotates with respect to the first pin axle. Also, as shown in FIG. 7, a pulley 103 is attached to the backrest frame 101, and a sliding groove 312 is opened in the base 31. The pulley 103 is located in the sliding groove 312, and the two are connected for guiding the direction. Due to the connection between the pulley 103 and the sliding groove 312 for guiding the direction, the reversing device 30 will not be deflected when the angle changes, and when the angle between the backrest frame 101 and the seat frame 102 changes, the angle between the reversing device 30 and the armrest 20 will change accordingly, so that the stability of the whole mechanism is ensured.
[0034] Furthermore, the central axis of the first shaft hole 311 in the base 31 and the rotation axis of the inverting and fixing member 32 may or may not be parallel. In this embodiment, the central axis of the first shaft hole 311 in the base 31 and the rotation axis of the inverting and fixing member 32 are not parallel, that is, an included angle is formed between the central axis of the first shaft hole 311 in the base 31 and the rotation axis of the inverting and fixing member 32. In this way, when the angle between the backrest frame 101 and the seat frame 102 changes, the inverting device 30 changes the position of the armrest 20 in the front-rear direction, and the inverting device 30 further inverts the armrest 20 to form a certain angle with the lateral surface of the chair frame 10, thereby increasing the spatial freedom of the massage chair.
[0035] Furthermore, in the inversion device 30, the inversion fixing member 32 can only rotate around the rotation axis, and at this time, the inversion fixing member 32 can only invert the armrest 20 up and down. Alternatively, the inversion fixing member 32 can rotate and move around the rotation axis at the same time, and at this time, the inversion fixing member 32 inverts the armrest 20 up and down and also moves the armrest 20 left and right. For example, when the inversion fixing member 32 inverts the armrest 20 upward to open it, it also moves the armrest 20 outward away from the chair frame 10, and when the inversion fixing member 32 inverts the armrest 20 downward to close it, it also moves the armrest 20 inward close to the chair frame 10. In this embodiment, the inversion fixing member 32 is attached to the base 31 so as to be rotatable and movable around the rotation axis. Based on this, a preferred embodiment of the inversion device 30 will be described below.
[0036] As shown in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, the inversion device 30 includes three parts: a base 31, an inversion structure, and a driving structure. The base 31 is used to connect to the back frame 101 of the chair frame 10, so that the entire inversion device 30 is attached to the back frame 101 of the chair frame 10. The inversion structure and the driving structure are both attached to the base 31. The inversion fixing member 32 is one part of the inversion structure, and Figs. 10 and 11 are structural schematic diagrams of the inversion structure and the driving structure in the inversion device 30. Fig. 12 is a cross-sectional view along the rotation axis of the inversion fixing member 32 in Fig. 10. Fig. 13 is a cross-sectional view along the rotation axis of the inversion fixing member 32 in Fig. 10. In addition, in Figs. 10 and 12, the inversion fixing member 32 is in an initial position, and the armrest 20 is not inverted upward and is in a closed state, and in Figs. 11 and 13, the inversion fixing member 32 is in a position after inversion, and the armrest 20 is inverted upward and in an open state.
[0037] As shown in Figures 8 to 13, the inversion structure of the inversion device 30 includes not only the inversion fixing member 32 but also a base shaft 33, a rotating base sleeve 34, an inversion connecting sleeve 36, and a turbine sleeve 38. The base shaft 33 extends along the axial direction of the rotation axis of the inversion fixing member 32, which is also the central axis of the base shaft 33. As shown in Figure 9, the left end of the base 31 is fixedly connected to the base 31 by a number of screws, and thus a fixing hole is provided at the left end of the base 31. The rotating base sleeve 34 is screwed to the outer periphery of the base shaft 33, and thus the outer periphery of the base shaft 33 is provided with a screw thread, and the inner periphery of the rotating base sleeve 34 is also provided with a screw thread. The inversion connecting sleeve 36 is fitted over the outer periphery of the right segment of the base shaft 33, and the turbine sleeve 38 is fitted over the outer periphery of the left segment of the base shaft 33. An intermediate connection flange 342 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating base sleeve 34, an outer connection flange 362 is provided on the left end of the inverted connection sleeve 36, which is located outside the intermediate connection flange 342, and an inner connection flange 382 is provided on the right end of the turbine sleeve 38, which is located inside the intermediate connection flange 342. The outer connection flange 362, the intermediate connection flange 342, and the inner connection flange 382 are fixedly connected by a number of screws, thereby fixing the rotating base sleeve 34, the inverted connection sleeve 36, and the turbine sleeve 38. A stopper flange portion 361 is integrally provided on the right end of the inverted connection sleeve 36, which is located between the inverted fixing member 32 and the base shaft 33 in the axial direction of the base shaft 33, and the stopper flange portion 361 and the inverted fixing member 32 are fixedly connected by a number of screws, thereby fixing the inverted connection sleeve 36 and the inverted fixing member 32. The driving structure is used to drive the turbine sleeve 38 to rotate.
[0038] When a user with a disability needs to sit on the massage chair from the side of the massage chair, the drive structure in the reversing device 30 operates to drive and rotate the turbine sleeve 38, which rotates the rotating base sleeve 34, the reversible connecting sleeve 36, and the reversible fixing member 32 together. The rotating base sleeve 34 rotates relative to the base 31 and at the same time moves in the axial direction relative to the base shaft 33, thereby moving the reversible connecting sleeve 36 and the reversible fixing member 32 together to the left and right. Therefore, the reversible fixing member 32 rotates and moves in the left and right directions at the same time, so that the right armrest 20 moves to the right when it is turned upside down to open, and moves to the left when it is turned down to close. After the armrest 20 moves to the left and is reset, the stopper flange portion 361 at the right end of the reversible connecting sleeve 36 comes into contact with the right end of the base shaft 33, exerting a stopper effect at the time of resetting. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 13, an oil groove 341 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the rotating base sleeve 34, and grease is stored in the oil groove 341 to ensure that the rotating base sleeve 34 moves smoothly.
[0039] 10 and 11, the driving structure of the reversing device 30 includes a driving source 35 fixed to the base 31, a worm shaft 39 driven to rotate by the driving source 35, a transmission worm 37 rotatably supported at both ends by bearings 70 in the base 31, and a transmission turbine 310 fixed to the transmission worm 37 by an elastic pin, and the worm shaft 39 and the transmission turbine 310 are connected to each other through transmission. The turbine sleeve 38 is provided with a turbine portion 381, which extends in a spiral shape and is connected to the transmission worm 37 through transmission. In this way, when the driving source 35 drives the worm shaft 39 to rotate, the transmission worm 37 is driven to rotate by the meshing of the worm shaft 39 and the transmission turbine 310, which drives the turbine sleeve 38 to rotate, and the turbine sleeve 38 rotates the rotating base sleeve 34 together. Therefore, the worm shaft 39, the transmission turbine 310, the transmission worm 37 and the turbine sleeve 38 constitute a transmission unit connected between the driving source 35 and the rotating base sleeve 34, and the driving source 35 is connected to the rotating base sleeve 34 via the transmission unit to drive and rotate the rotating base sleeve 34. Preferably, the driving source 35 is a motor, and the worm shaft 39 and a motor shaft of the motor may be fixedly connected by a coupling, or the worm shaft 39 may be an extension of the motor shaft of the motor.
[0040] In addition, the intelligent massage chair further includes a controller and a current detector, the current detector is used to detect the current of the driving source 35, and the current detector and the driving source 35 are both connected to the controller. The rotation of the motor can be controlled by the controller, so that when the user sits on the massage chair, the controller can be used to drive the motor to rotate and flip the armrest 20 upward to open the side seating opening 40, making it easier for the user to enter the massage chair through the side seating opening 40. Then, the user can use the controller to drive the motor to rotate in the opposite direction and flip the armrest 20 downward to its original position to close the side seating opening 40, thereby increasing the intelligent level of the massage chair. In particular, the current of the motor is detected by the current detector in the present application. When the current of the motor exceeds the normal value, the controller controls the motor to suddenly stop or move in the opposite direction, avoiding the occurrence of a situation in which the armrest 20 is moved by human or mechanical interference, resulting in a person being pinched and injured or the mechanical structure being damaged. The current detector can be a sensor.
[0041] In summary, the present invention effectively overcomes various shortcomings in the prior art and has high industrial applicability.
