Background Art

[0002] So far, modern people have particularly emphasized physical health. Commuting, going to school, and exercising repeatedly are likely to cause sports injuries. Moreover, sitting or standing for a long time can lead to muscle tension and poor blood circulation. Adding rest time, people generally feel tired both physically and mentally. Therefore, a statically usable massage device is a good choice for modern people.

[0003] When standing for a long time, the lower body is prone to stiffness. Also, when it is necessary to send back venous blood for a long time due to long-term standing, the blood pressure of the venous valve increases and varicose veins are likely to occur. Therefore, for the sake of health, it is necessary to massage the feet after work every day. Since the thighs are thick and short, and the calves are thin and long, different massage methods are needed for the thighs and calves, and a synchronous massage mechanism that can perform massage simultaneously in different massage methods is required.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, the inventor of the present invention came up with the idea of the invention, designed it with years of experience, and after many discussions, prototype tests of samples, and several modifications and improvements, the present invention was completed.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] In order to better understand and recognize the object, features, and effects of the present invention, the following will be described in detail with reference to the drawings in a brief description of the drawings.

[0011] First, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, which is the first embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a rotary rolling ball and linear sliding roller leg synchronous massage mechanism, including a base (10), two rolling ball massagers (20), a sliding roller massager (30), and two transmission rods (40). The base (10) has a base body (11), a base central portion (12) is provided at the center of the base body (11), a power motor (13) is provided in the base central portion (12), and respective power shafts (131) extend on both sides of the power motor (13). The above-mentioned rolling ball massager (20) includes a rolling ball massage roller (21). A sleeve shaft (211) is provided at the center of the rolling ball massage roller (21). Shaft side surface portions (212) are provided on both sides of the sleeve shaft (211). The sleeve shaft (211) is set on the power shaft (131) and provided coaxially. When the rolling ball massage roller (21) rotates with the power shaft (131) as the axis, at least one rolling ball massage unit (213) is provided so as to surround the space between the two shaft side surface portions (212). An eccentric shaft (201) protrudes from the rolling ball massager (20). When the power shaft (131) moves the rolling ball massager (20) with the axis as the center, the eccentric shaft (201) operates to deviate from the axis and draw a circular orbit. The above-mentioned sliding roller massager (30) has two symmetrically provided sliding roller massage pieces (31). Rear side portions (311) and front side portions (312) are provided on both sides of the sliding roller massage piece (31). At least one sliding roller massage unit (313) is provided between the rear side portion (311) and the front side portion (312). A driven shaft (32) protrudes from the front side portion (312). The two sliding roller massage pieces (31) are integrally connected by a connecting portion (301). Both ends of the transmission rod (40) are respectively provided on the eccentric shaft (201) and the driven shaft (32). When the power motor (13) outputs power and rotates, through transmission, the rolling ball massager (20), the transmission rod (40), the sliding roller massager (30), and the base (10) are combined with each other to form a crank-slide mechanism. Thus, when the rolling ball massager (20) is rotated, the sliding roller massager (30) is repeatedly pushed and pulled linearly.

[0012] As shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, when actually used, the user places both feet on the rolling ball massager (20) and the sliding roller massager (30). The power shaft (131) provides power transmission by the power motor (13), thereby starting the rotation of the rolling ball massager (20). Further, the rolling ball massage unit (213) massages the inside of the user's thigh with rolling balls. And since the rolling ball massager (20), the transmission rod (40), the sliding roller massager (30), and the base (10) are combined with each other to form a crank-slide mechanism, the sliding roller massager (30) starts repeated linear operation. Also, the sliding roller massage unit (313) repeatedly and comprehensively presses the inside of the user's calf with the sliding roller, and at the same time, the user's thigh and calf can be massaged in different ways.

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 14 to 18, which is the second embodiment of the present invention, compared with the first embodiment of the present invention, the differences are as follows: The sliding roller massager (30) has two symmetrically provided sliding roller massage pieces (31). On both sides of the sliding roller massage piece (31), respective back side portions (311) and front side portions (312) are provided. A sliding roller massage unit (313) is provided between the back side portion (311) and the front side portion (312). The two sliding roller massage pieces (31) are set and provided on a sliding roller massage piece shaft (34). On the left and right of the sliding roller massage piece shaft (34), respective driven rocker arms (35) are set and provided. A driven rocker arm shaft (351) is provided on the driven rocker arm (35). Both ends of the transmission rod (40) are respectively provided on the eccentric shaft (201) and the driven rocker arm shaft (351). When the power motor (13) outputs power and rotates, through transmission, the rolling ball massager (20), the transmission rod (40), and the sliding roller massager (30) form a crank-slide mechanism. Thus, when rotating the rolling ball massager (20), the sliding roller massager (30) is repeatedly pushed and pulled linearly.

[0014] As shown in FIGS. 16 to 18, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, when actually in use, the user places both feet on the rolling ball massager (20) and the sliding roller massager (30), and the power shaft (131) provides power transmission by the power motor (13), thereby starting the rotation of the rolling ball massager (20). Further, the rolling ball massage unit (213) massages the inside of the user's thigh with the rolling ball, and since the rolling ball massager (20), the transmission rod (40), the sliding roller massager (30), and the base (10) are combined with each other to form a crank-slide mechanism, the sliding roller massager (30) starts repeated linear operation. Also, the sliding roller massage unit (313) repeatedly presses the inside of the user's calf with the sliding roller over the entire surface, and at the same time, the user's thigh and calf can be massaged in different ways. And since the two sliding roller massage pieces (31) are provided by being set on the sliding roller massage piece shaft (34), the sliding roller massage unit (313) can rotate with respect to the sliding roller massage piece shaft (34). Therefore, when the sliding roller massage unit (313) repeatedly presses the inside of the user's calf, the sliding roller massage unit (313) can apply the force of the rolling ball massage.

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, and in addition, FIGS. 6 to 8, taking the first embodiment as an example, the present invention provides a rotary rolling ball and linear sliding roller leg synchronous massage mechanism, wherein the eccentric shaft (201) protrudes and is provided outside the shaft side surface portion (212) on the side of the rolling ball massage roller one (21). When the rolling ball massage roller (21) rotates about its axis, the eccentric shaft (201) operates so as to deviate from the axis and describe a circular orbit.

[0016] As shown in FIGS. 14 to 18, taking the second embodiment as an example, the present invention provides a rotary rolling ball and linear sliding roller leg synchronous massage mechanism, wherein the rolling ball massager (20) further includes a crank piece (22), and the crank pieces (22) are respectively provided at both ends of the power shaft (131). An eccentric shaft (201) is provided on the crank piece (22). When the power shaft (131) rotates, the eccentric shaft (201) operates to draw a circular orbit.

[0017] As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the present invention provides a rotary rolling ball and linear sliding roller leg synchronous massage mechanism. Outside the base (10), the base (10), the rolling ball massager (20), the sliding roller massager (30), and the transmission rod (40) are covered and shielded by a shield (50). The shield (50) is a cloth cover, a chair, a sofa or a massage chair, achieving the effect of uniformly dispersing the massage force.

[0018] The present invention provides a rotary rolling ball and linear sliding roller leg synchronous massage mechanism, and the sliding roller massager (30) is attached to the base (10) by a rolling contact method.

[0019] As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, taking the first embodiment as an example, the present invention provides a rotary rolling ball and linear sliding roller leg synchronous massage mechanism, wherein at least one roller (33) is provided on the sliding roller massager (30), and the sliding roller massager (30) is attached to the base (10) by a rolling contact method, whereby the sliding roller massager (30) can perform smoother repeated linear operations.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, taking the first embodiment as an example, the present invention provides a rotary rolling ball and linear sliding roller leg synchronous massage mechanism. The central portion (12) of the base extends, and a slide slot (121) is provided through its side surface. The sliding roller massager (30) is provided through the slide slot (121), and the connecting portion (301) is restricted within the slide slot (121), thereby restricting the position of the sliding roller massager (30) and preventing its up and down movement.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, in another aspect of the first embodiment, the present invention provides a rotary rolling ball and linear sliding roller leg synchronous massage mechanism. At least one roller (33) is provided on the sliding roller massager (30). The central portion (12) of the base extends, and a slide slot (121) is provided through its side surface. The sliding roller massager (30) is provided through the slide slot (121), and the connecting portion (301) is restricted within the slide slot (121). The roller (33) is provided at the bottom of the connecting portion (301). When the sliding roller massager (30) is provided through the slide slot (121), the roller (33) can rollingly contact the slide slot (121), making the movement of the sliding roller massager (30) smoother in that direction.

[0022] As shown in FIGS. 14 to 18, taking the second embodiment as an example, the present invention provides a rotary rolling ball and linear sliding roller leg synchronous massage mechanism. Roller (33) is provided on each of the left and right sides of the sliding roller massage piece shaft (34). The sliding roller massager (30) is attached to the base (10) by a rolling contact method. Slide rails (111) are provided on the left and right in the base body (11). By the roller (33) rollingly contacting the slide rail (111), the height of the repeated operation of the sliding roller massager (30) can be adjusted.

[0023] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the present invention provides a rotary rolling ball and linear sliding roller leg synchronous massage mechanism. The rolling ball massage unit (213) and the sliding roller massage unit (313) are composed of a large number of balls and can roll with respect to their axes.

[0024] As shown in FIGS. 14 to 18, the present invention provides a rotary rolling ball and linear sliding roller leg synchronous massage mechanism. Bumpy rollers spread over the entire surface of the sliding roller massage unit (313).

[0025] According to the above structure, the rotary rolling ball and linear sliding roller leg synchronous massage mechanism has the following effects: (1) When the user places both feet on the rolling ball massager (20) and the sliding roller massager (30), and the power shaft (131) rotates, the rolling ball massager (20) also rotates accordingly, and the rolling ball in the rolling ball massage unit (213) contacts the thigh and rotates to perform massage. Moreover, due to the presence of the eccentric shaft (201), the sliding roller massager (30) also performs repeated linear movements accordingly, and the sliding roller massage unit (313) contacts the calf and performs massage with a linear sliding roller. Thus, the effect of massaging the thigh and calf simultaneously in different ways is achieved, and thereby, different areas to be massaged on the thigh and calf can be massaged respectively. (2) Since the base (10), rolling ball massager (20), sliding roller massager (30), and transmission rod (40) are all provided symmetrically, the operation of this mechanism is symmetric, the center of gravity is stable, and by controlling the operation of the two rolling ball massagers (20) and the sliding roller massager (30) synchronously with only the power motor (13), the cost, volume, and weight can be reduced, and the consistency of the massage frequency for the thigh and calf can be maintained.

[0026] The above is only one embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. That is, changes, modifications, etc. made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should also belong to the scope of the present invention.
