The front side of the cam peripheral surface (56) of the cam member (55) is held in abutment against the rear side of the upper half of the reed (70), and when the cam member (55) is rotated to the short diameter portion of the cam peripheral surface (56) (57) When the reed (70) is abutted, the reed (70) is substantially in the shape of a flat plate, and the finger pressing member (80) is correspondingly located in the aforementioned retracted position, as shown in Fig. 8-1; otherwise, when the cam member (55) When the long diameter portion (58) of the cam circumferential surface (56) is abutted against the reed (70), the upper half of the reed (70) is deflected forward so that the finger pressing member (80) corresponds to the front. Tilt and position in the aforementioned advance position, as shown in Figure 8-2. The position of the finger pressing portion (82) when the finger pressing member (80) is in the forward position is more forward than the position of the finger pressing portion (82) when the finger pressing member (80) is in the retracted position.

The above is the detailed structure of the massage machine (the calf massage module (12) in the preferred embodiment) of the present invention. When using the upper massage machine, the lower leg portions of the user's legs are respectively placed between the corresponding two kneading assemblies (60a) (60b) (note: the above-mentioned cloth cover (16) is interposed between the lower leg and the mechanism), and The length direction of the lower leg corresponds to the length direction of the main frame body (20), and therefore, when the first driving device drives the seat body (30) to be displaced along the aforementioned elongated path, the pair of two kneading assemblies (60a) (60b) It will be displaced along the calf on both the inner and outer sides of the calf. When the second driving device drives the rotating shaft (40) to rotate, the first circumferential portion (52) of the inner driving member (50a) and the outer driving member (50b) respectively generate an eccentric and skewed revolving motion, so that each is second The inner kneading assembly (60a) and the outer kneading assembly (60b), which are circumferentially wrapped around the outer circumference of the corresponding first circumferential portion (52) and cannot rotate with the rotating shaft (40), generate a periodic skewing action. Wherein, since the axis of the first circumferential portion (52) of the pair of two-clamping members (50a) (50b) is inclined to be bilaterally symmetrical, the rocker arms (61) of the pair of two kneading assemblies (60a) (60b) Will be big With the respective rear ends as the axes, the front ends are periodically close to each other and away from each other. At the same time, the top/bottom sides of the paired two rocker arms (61) are also periodically inclined inward and outward, so that they are paired The kneading portion (65) of the two kneading assembly (60a) (60b) produces a periodic motion that can be used to knead the user's lower leg.

When the kneading portions (65) of the paired two kneading assemblies (60a) (60b) are close to each other to the user's lower leg, the annular elastic body (64) will respond to the amount of pressure to produce a corresponding elastic deformation, that is, The more the user leans against the user, the more the ellipse is flattened, so as to absorb excessive pressure and avoid the user's pain. In the above structural form, the annular elastic body may be bent into a metal sheet, and the block (kneading portion) may be additionally assembled to the elastic body.

As mentioned above, the user can adjust the spacing of the pair of two kneading assemblies (60a) (60b) on the rotating shaft (40) through the aforementioned knob (18), so that the lower leg is thin or the kneading force is strong. The user can reduce the pitch to be narrower so that the width of the opposite kneading portion (65) is narrower. Conversely, a user with a smaller leg or a weaker kneading force can increase the aforementioned pitch to make the relative The width of the two kneading portions (65) when pressed together is wider. In addition, as described above, as the seat body (30) is lowered/rised, the distance between the pair of two kneading assemblies (60a) (60b) on the rotating shaft (40) is automatically reduced/expanded at a certain rate to match Generally, the top of the human leg is thicker and the bottom end is thinner.

While kneading the left and right sides of the user's lower leg with the kneading unit (60a) (60b), the acupressure member (80) intermittently presses the rear side of the user's lower leg at the same cycle. In detail, when the rotating shaft (40) continues to rotate, the cam member (55) will eccentrically rotate in the same cycle, and in about one-half of a cycle of the revolution, the cam member (55) will be guided by the cam circumference. The short diameter portion (57) of the surface (56) abuts against the reed (70) (as shown in Fig. 8-1), and is rotated to abut the reed with the long diameter portion (58) of the cam circumferential surface (56) ( 70) (as shown in Fig. 8-2) such that the finger pressing member (80) is indirectly pushed from the retracted position by the cam member (55) to the advanced position; in another approximately one-half cycle, the cam member (55) Further, the long-diameter portion (58) abuts the reed (70) to be rotated to abut the reed (70) with the short-diameter portion (57), so that the reed (70) can be deflected by its own elastic force. Returning to the flat state, and bringing the finger pressing member (80) back to the retracted position from the forward position; thus, the finger pressing member (80) will continuously reciprocate between the advanced position and the retracted position. Thereby, while the kneading assembly (60a) (60b) is kneading on both the left and right sides of the user's lower leg portion, the finger pressing portion (82) of the finger pressing member (80) is partially partial to the aforementioned calf. The back side performs a back-and-forward reciprocating acupressure massage to expand the massage part and enrich the massage content to enhance the therapeutic effect and use feeling. purpose.

In addition, the warm air outputted by the air heating device (14) reaches the front surface of the finger pressing member (80) via a flexible conduit (not shown), and is blown forward through the breathable cloth cover (16). The accommodating space (66) allows the warm air to be concentratedly supplied to the calf portion of the user who is receiving the massage, thereby exerting a better thermal therapy effect. In addition to the outlet end of the flexible conduit being disposed between the pair of two kneading assemblies and oppositely positioned on the rear side of the receiving space, the present invention may also select that the outlet end is disposed adjacent to the kneading portion of the kneading assembly and in the opposite position. On the left and/or right side of the accommodation space.

In the above preferred embodiment, substantially, when the rotating action of the rotating shaft (40) drives the pair of two kneading assemblies (60a) (60b) to be close to each other by the open state, The long diameter portion (58) of the cam surface (56) is turned forward by the rear of the rotating shaft (40), so that the finger pressing member (80) is displaced from the retracted position to the forward position, and vice versa, when the rotating shaft (40) is driven When the pair of two kneading assemblies (60a) (60b) are separated from each other by the abutting state, the long diameter portion (58) of the cam peripheral surface (56) is turned to the rear by the front of the rotating shaft (40), so that the finger pressing member ( 80) Displacement from the forward position to the reverse position. At least, when the finger pressing member (80) is in the advanced position, the pair of two kneading members (60a) (60b) assume a relatively abutting state, in other words, the finger pressing member (80) presses the rear side of the user's lower leg. The timing is matched with the timing of the left and right sides of the lower leg of the user when the kneading unit (60a) (60b) is pressed. In addition, the present invention can detect the angular position of the rotating shaft (40) (Note: this is a prior art), and timely stop the second motor (45) to allow the driving member (50a) (50b) and the cam on the rotating shaft (40). The member (55) is set at a specific angle such that the pair of two kneading assemblies (60a) (60b) are suspended in a relatively close state, and the finger pressing member (80) is also suspended in the advanced position, thereby The calf is partially pressed for a long time (for example, half a second or one second), and then the shaft (40) is continuously rotated.

Of course, in addition to the eccentric circle and the timely matching manner, the cam circumferential surface of the present invention can also be designed into other different shapes or relative angles according to requirements, so that the finger pressing parts correspondingly generate different motion patterns, for example, the cam circumferential surface is presented. An oval shape or a predetermined irregular shape such that when the rotating shaft continues to rotate, the finger pressing member moves to the advanced position at a slower speed (or a negative acceleration), leaves the advanced position at a faster speed (or a positive acceleration), And/or stay in the forward position for a long time; or, the cam circumference presents an ellipse centered on the axis of the shaft (considered to have two long diameter portions and two short diameter portions), whenever the cam member follows the shaft After one rotation, the finger press will complete two reciprocating motions, that is, press the user twice.

In other embodiments of the present invention (without the drawing), the combination of the aforesaid finger pressing member, the elastic member and the cam member may alternatively adopt the following type: the finger pressing member is slidable back and forth between two positions. The elastic member is a compression spring, the front end of which is abutted against the seat body, and the rear end abuts against the finger pressing member; the cam circumferential surface of the cam member directly abuts against the rear side of the finger pressing member, when the circumference of the cam surface is long When the diameter portion is turned to the front and the finger pressing member is pushed to the forward position, the compression spring is flattened in the axial direction. When the long diameter portion of the circumferential surface of the cam is turned to the rear, the elastic force of the compression spring to extend the recovery element pushes the finger pressing member back. Retreat position.

Although the preferred embodiment is a foot massage machine that can massage the user's lower leg and the sole of the foot at the same time, the present invention can of course be applied to a massage machine that specifically massages the lower leg (or can be used for both arms), and can also be applied to massage. A calf massage module or an arm massage module among the chairs. Moreover, it is also practical to make the massage machine of the present invention into only one massage unit, which can only be massaged with one hand or one leg at a time. In addition, it should be noted that, based on the superior concept of the present invention, the pair of two kneading components in the present invention can be driven by the rotating shaft to bring the kneading portion back and forth repeatedly, and is not limited to the preferred embodiment. For example, the kneading assembly structure for kneading massage, such as the ones of the Japanese Patent No. I254632, the No. M371014, and the Japanese Patent No. 201235030A, can also be applied to the present invention. in.
