MASSAGE CHAIR

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of massage equipment, in particular to a massage chair

BACKGROUND

With the improvement of people's living standards and increased health awareness, massage chairs, as an intelligent piece of furniture that integrates relaxation, physiotherapy, and leisure functions, have gradually become popular and are widely used in public places such as shopping malls, airports, gyms, and community activity centers. In recent years, some businesses have also begun to place massage chairs in outdoor leisure areas, parks, terraces, and other open spaces to meet users' needs in different environments. In actual use, existing massage chairs generally cannot adapt to the current environmental lighting conditions. When the massage chair is placed inside a shopping mall, strong indoor lighting often shines directly on the user's face, causing visual discomfort, glare interference, and even affecting the relaxation effect. In outdoor environments, direct sunlight not only makes the user feel dazzled and hot but also poses a potential skin health risk due to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays.

At present, most massage chairs on the market fix the light-blocking cover to the massage chair. When the user lies on the massage chair, the fixed light-blocking cover can only block part of the light. During the massage process, due to the specific back-and-forth motion of the massage mechanism, the user's face may still be disturbed by light. Moreover, some users do not require a light-blocking cover, and the fixed cover cannot adjust the range of light-blocking, which causes inconvenience for the users.

To address this issue, the present disclosure provides a massage chair that effectively solves the above problems with a simple structure and ease of use.

SUMMARY

To overcome the shortcomings of existing technology, the present disclosure provides a massage chair, a massage chair, including: a massage chair main body and a light-blocking device, the light-blocking device is attached to the massage chair main body, and the light-blocking device is configured to selectively block light for a user of the massage chair main body.

The beneficial effect of the disclosure is: through the above structure, the design of the light-blocking device effectively provides light protection for the massage chair usage area, effectively blocking direct interference from mall lighting or outdoor sunlight on the user's face during the massage process, enhancing the user's visual comfort and relaxation experience.

Embodiment 1: referring to FIGS. 1 to 11, the first embodiment provides a massage chair, including: a massage chair main body 1 and a light-blocking device 2. The light-blocking device 2 is attached to the massage chair main body 1 and is used to selectively block light for a user of the massage chair main body 1.

Through the arrangement of the above structures, the design of the light-blocking device 2 effectively shields the user from the direct interference of mall lighting or outdoor sunlight on the face during use, enhancing the visual comfort and relaxation experience during the massage. At the same time, the light-blocking device 2 can selectively block light for the user of the massage chair, offering multiple options for the user to block light as needed. Furthermore, the light-blocking device 2 is designed to provide a selective blocking effect: when blocking is required, the device 2 is positioned above the user to block external light; when no blocking is needed, it can be folded or retracted to the side of the massage chair main body 1, or removed, without affecting normal sitting or the aesthetic of the space.

In this embodiment, the light-blocking device 2 includes a covering assembly 100 and an adjustment component 200. the cover assembly 100 is movably connected to the massage chair main body 1 via the adjustment component 200, so that the cover assembly 100 can switch between a first light-blocking state, a second light-blocking state, and a storage state, selectively blocking light for the user of the massage chair main body 1.

Through the above structure, the light-blocking device 2 can flexibly adjust the position and angle of the cover assembly 100 based on usage states of the massage chair. As shown in FIG. 1, in the first light-blocking state, the cover assembly 100 can block light for the user sitting on the massage chair, and the user can adjust the cover assembly 100 to the first light-blocking state as needed. As shown in FIG. 2, in the second light-blocking state, the cover assembly 100 can block light for the user undergoing a massage. As shown in FIG. 4, in the storage state, the cover assembly 100 can be folded and stored on one side of the massage chair main body 1, or removed when needed. Specifically, the massage chair main body 1 performs a pre-set cycling massage, with the user alternating between sitting and lying positions. As a result, the cover assembly 100, which might block light from the face in the sitting position, may not be able to do so in the lying position. The adjustment component 200 allows the cover assembly 100 to switch freely between the first light-blocking state, second light-blocking state, and storage state, enabling the user to adjust the angle and range of light-blocking according to their needs. As shown in FIG. 2, in the second light-blocking state, the cover assembly 100 can be extended under the adjustment of mechanism 200 and adjusted to block light as required, effectively shielding external light interference. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, in the first light-blocking state and the storage state, the cover assembly 100 can be partially or fully retracted by the adjustment component 200, avoiding occupying space and maintaining the aesthetic of the equipment.

In this embodiment, the cover assembly 100 includes several covers 110 and several supporting rods 120 used to support the several covers 110. The supporting rods 120 are movably connected to the adjustment component 200. Through this structure, the cover assembly 100 can adjust its position and angle flexibly via the adjustment component 200, thus adapting to different needs of the user (allowing the cover assembly 100 to freely switch between the first light-blocking state, second light-blocking state, and storage state). The supporting rods 120 are used to support the several covers 110 and fold or unfold the several covers 110 via the adjustment component 200.

In this embodiment, the cover assembly 100 also includes connecting component 130, the connecting component 130 connects two adjacent covers 110. Through this structure, the several covers 110 can be securely connected as a whole via the connecting component 130, enhancing the structural stability and integrity of the several covers 110, while also facilitating the unfolding or storage of the cover assembly 100 to meet different light-blocking needs.

In this embodiment, the connecting component 130 includes first connecting rods 131 and second connecting rods 132. Each of the first connecting rods 131 is connected to two adjacent covers 110, and each of the second connecting rods 132 is connected to the ends of two first connecting rods 131. Through this structure, the first connecting rods 131 realize a direct connection between the adjacent covers 110, and the second connecting rods 132 reinforce the ends of the first connecting rods 131 laterally, effectively improving the structural strength and overall stability of the cover assembly 100. This prevents loosening or deformation at the connection points, ensuring the cover body remains stable during unfolding or storage. Preferably, two adjacent first connecting rods 131 that connect the several covers 110 can use a Velcro method or grooves formed along the edges of the first connecting rods 131 to engage the several covers 110, and each of the second connecting rods 132 fixes one end of each of the several covers 110 and each of the first connecting rods 131.

In this embodiment, the supporting rods 120 correspond one-to-one with the first connecting rods 131, that is, a number of the supporting rods is same as a number of the first connecting rods, positions of the supporting rods are corresponded to positions of the first connecting rods. The supporting rods 120 are connected to the corresponding first connecting rods 131. This arrangement allows the supporting rods 120 to work in coordination with the connecting component 130, with the supporting force directly acting on the connecting component 130 between the several covers 110. This enhances the load-bearing capacity and structural rigidity of the connection area. At the same time, the connection between the supporting rods 120 and the first connecting rods 131 makes the overall force distribution more uniform and reasonable, improving the stability and deformation resistance of the cover assembly 100.

In this embodiment, the connecting component 130 is made of flexible material to allow the several covers 110 to switch between the first light-blocking state, the second light-blocking state, and the storage state. Through this structure, the connecting component 130 is made by resettable flexible material. It is important to note that the first connecting rods 131 can firmly connect the connecting component 130 to the several covers 110. Each of the second connecting rods 132 connects the ends of the first connecting rods 131, meaning the second connecting rods 132 are deformable and can undergo deformation under external force. After the external force is removed, the second connecting rods 132 can return to its original state, allowing the adjacent first connecting rods 131 to move closer together when subjected to external force, enabling the several covers 110 to switch between the first light-blocking state, second light-blocking state, and storage state.

In this embodiment, the adjustment component 200 includes rotating components 210. The rotating components 210 are connected to the massage chair main body 1, and the supporting rods 120 are movably connected to the rotating components 210, allowing the several covers 110 to switch between the first light-blocking state, second light-blocking state, and storage state. With this structure, the cover assembly 100 can rotate within a preset angle range around the rotating components 210, enabling a smooth transition between the first light-blocking state and the second light-blocking state. This provides flexible adjustment of the light-blocking range according to the user's needs, even when the light-blocking device 2 is not required. The rotating components 210 can also allow the cover assembly 100 to switch from the first light-blocking state or second light-blocking state to the storage state.

In this embodiment, each of the rotating components 210 is defined with a rotating groove 212 that communicates with an external environment, and the ends of each of the supporting rods 120 is movably inserted into the rotating groove 212. With this structure, each of the supporting rods 120 is movably inserted into the rotating groove 212 of each of the rotating components 210 and can move circumferentially within the rotating groove 212. The mobility of the supporting rods 120 in the circumferential direction allows it to switch the state of the cover assembly 100 based on the usage condition of the several covers 110. The rotating groove 212 communicates with the external environment, facilitating the insertion of the ends of the supporting rods 120, while also making cleaning and maintenance easier, preventing long-term accumulation of debris that could affect the rod's movement.

In this embodiment, each of the rotating components 210 is also equipped with a sliding groove 213 that communicates with the rotating groove 212. An end of each of the supporting rods 120 is equipped with a rotating protrusion 121, which is slidably inserted into the sliding groove 213. With this structure, the sliding groove 213 is concavely formed from one side of the rotating groove 212 and communicates with the rotating groove 212, allowing the rotating protrusion 121 to slide within the sliding groove 213. This design allows the supporting rods 120 to slide within a certain range along the sliding groove 213, enabling the adjustable rotation of the several covers 110 relatives to the massage chair main body 1, making it easier for the user to open or close the several covers 110 according to different environmental conditions. The rotating protrusion 121 enhances the limiting and sliding functions at the connection point between the supporting rods 120 and the sliding groove 213, preventing the supporting rods 120 from disengaging from the sliding groove 213 during movement and improving the stability during sliding. Specifically, the rotating protrusion 121 slides along the sliding groove 213, guiding the several covers 110 to fold smoothly according to the shape of the sliding groove 213. Preferably, the shape of the sliding groove 213 corresponds to the overall shape of each of the rotating components 210. When multiple rotating protrusions 121 are spaced within the sliding groove 213, the several covers 110 can reach a maximum extended state. When adjacent rotating protrusions 121 are in contact with each other near one end of the sliding groove 213, the several covers 110 will be in a completely folded storage state. Users can adjust the folding or storage of the several covers 110 when the rotating protrusions 121 contact each other. It should be noted that a central angle of the sliding groove 213 can be chosen according to the user's needs. The larger the central angle, the greater the light-blocking area of the several covers 110.

In this embodiment, bumps 214 are set along the inner wall of the sliding groove 213, and the 214 bumps 214 are configured to limit the movement of the rotating protrusion 121. With this structure, multiple positions can be fixed during the unfolding of the several covers 110. By applying moderate external force, the rotating protrusion 121 can pass over the bumps 214, and the rotating protrusion 121 will be in contact with adjacent bumps 214, enabling multi-angle adjustments. When the user needs to store or unfold the several covers 110, they can rotate the rotating protrusions 121 to the next or previous set of bumps 214 to complete the unfolding or storage action. The bumps 214 are spaced around the circumference of the sliding groove 213, and the corresponding rotating protrusions 121 sequentially pass over the bumps 214 during rotation, providing clear tactile feedback with each engagement, allowing stepwise adjustment of the several covers 110's opening and closing angle. This design eliminates the need for additional locking mechanisms and ensures reliable fixation at common working positions like the first light-blocking state, second light-blocking state, and storage state to meet the needs of different users. Even during a massage process, the user can reach out and touch the supporting rods 120, making the rotating protrusions 121 engage or disengage from the bumps 214 to satisfy the light-blocking needs during the massage. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, during the transition from a seated to a lying posture, the several covers 110 can switch from the first light-blocking state to the second light-blocking state, thus expanding the several covers 110 over a larger area to meet the light-blocking requirement. Preferably, the bumps 214 are made of flexible material to allow the rotating protrusions 121 to pass over and contact the bumps 214.

In this embodiment, the adjustment component 200 also includes installing components 220 connected to the massage chair main body 1, and the cover assembly 100 is detachably connected to the installing components 220 via the rotating components 210, allowing the cover assembly 100 to be detachably connected to the massage chair main body 1. With this setup, users can quickly detach the entire covering assembly 100 from the massage chair main body 1 through the installing components 220 without any tools, facilitating cleaning, replacement, or storage.

In this embodiment, each of the installing components 220 includes a connecting base 221 that connects to the massage chair main body 1, and the connecting base 221 is detachably connected to the rotating components 210. With this structure, the connecting base 221 acts as a connecting intermediary, with one end connected to the massage chair main body 1 and the other end detachably connected to the corresponding rotating components 210, thereby ensuring a secure and detachable connection between the cover assembly 100 and the massage chair main body 1. The detachable fit between the connecting base 221 and the rotating components 210 enables rapid installation and removal of the cover assembly 100 according to user needs.

In this embodiment, each of the installing components 220 also includes a positioning column 222. The connecting base 221 is provided with a through hole 2211. The positioning column 222 is detachably inserted into the through hole 2211 and magnetically connected to the rotating components 210. Through this setup, the positioning column 222 is detachably inserted into the through hole 2211 of the connecting base 221 and connected to the corresponding rotating components 210 via magnetic attraction, achieving quick assembly and disassembly between the connecting base 221 and the corresponding rotating components 210. Specifically, the magnetic connection structure allows each of the rotating components 210 to automatically align and attach to the corresponding positioning column 222 when it approaches, significantly enhancing the ease of installation of the cover assembly 100. Users only need to gently push the cover assembly 100 into alignment for connection. The positioning column 222 is inserted into the through hole 2211 to facilitate maintenance and replacement after the magnetic effect has dissipated. Preferably, the positioning column 222 is magnetic, and the connecting base 221 and the corresponding rotating components 210 can be attracted by the magnetic positioning column 222.

In this embodiment, one side of the positioning column 222 near the corresponding rotating components 210 is defined with a positioning groove 2221, and one side of each of the rotating components 210 near the connecting base 221 is provided with a fixed protrusion 211. The fixed protrusion 211 can be detachably inserted into the positioning groove 2221. With this setup, the positioning groove 2221 on the positioning column 222 and the fixed protrusion 211 on each of the rotating components 210 form a plug-in mating structure. When assembled, the fixed protrusion 211 is inserted into the positioning groove 2221, playing roles in axial limiting and circumferential anti-rotation. Additionally, the cooperation between the positioning groove 2221 and the fixed protrusion 211 provides guidance for the magnetic adsorption between the positioning column 222 and the corresponding rotating components 210. Optionally, the middle part of the connecting base 221 is indented to form an insertion slot, and a corresponding insertion block is provided on the rotating components 210. The plug-in connection between the insertion block and the insertion slot can significantly enhance the connection strength between the connecting base 221 and the rotating components 210.

In this embodiment, the supporting rods 120 are a U-shaped bracket. With this structure, the supporting rods 120 are primarily used to support the several covers 110, allowing them to remain fully open and effectively preventing sagging, swaying, or accidental closure of the several covers 110 due to their weight or external forces. When there are at least two supporting rods 120, the number and arrangement of supports can be reasonably configured based on the size, weight, and opening angle of the several covers 110. Preferably, there are four supporting rods 120. The U-shaped bracket design of the supporting rods 120 provide higher structural strength and bending resistance for each rod, while the U-shaped structure offers good support strength for the several covers 110. The ends of the U-shaped bracket serve as connection points, enhancing the rigidity of connections with the rotating components 210, connecting base 221, or first connecting rods 131. The curved or bent middle section effectively disperses stress, increasing overall load capacity.

In this embodiment, the several covers 110 is made of flexible material. This setup allows for unlimited folding and storage of the several covers 110. It's important to note that the light-blocking rate of the several covers 110 is greater than 80%.

In this embodiment, the several covers 110 is coated with a sunscreen layer. With this setup, the sunscreen coating endows the several covers 110 with excellent waterproof, sun-resistant, and anti-aging properties, enabling them to be used outdoors or under long-term lighting without easily fading, cracking, or mildewing, thereby effectively protecting the massage chair main body 1 and enhancing the user experience. Optionally, the sunscreen coating can be a black adhesive coating, silver adhesive coating, colored adhesive coating, etc.

Embodiment 2, referring to FIG. 12, in this embodiment, each of the rotating components 210 is equipped with a rotating shaft 215, with both ends of the rotating shaft 215 connected to the two opposing inner side walls of the rotating groove 212. The ends of each of the supporting rods 120 are provided with rotating rings 122, which are rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 215 of each of the rotating components 210. With this setup, the rotating shaft 215 is transversely positioned within the rotating groove 212, with both ends fixedly connected to the opposing inner side walls of the rotating groove 212, forming a stable transverse support structure. The rotating rings 122 at the ends of the supporting rods 120 are rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 215, allowing the supporting rods 120 to rotate circumferentially along the rotating shaft 215, thereby enabling the opening and closing of the several covers 110. It should be noted that multiple rotating rings 122 are spaced apart, making the overall storage and unfolding of the several covers 110 more convenient and avoiding jamming during the process.

In this embodiment, each of the rotating components 210 also includes a clamping component 216, which is detachably connected to two adjacent supporting rods 120 to allow the several covers 110 to switch between the first light-blocking state, the second light-blocking state, and the storage state. Through this setup, adjacent supporting rods 120 can be quickly locked in the deployed state, ensuring the stability and integrity of the framework structure of the light-blocking device 2. According to the different needs of users, the clamping component 216 can be manually operated to engage or disengage, facilitating the convenient disassembly or folding of the supporting rods 120. Specifically, a clamping hole is defined at the end of the supporting rods 120, and the clamping component 216 is inserted into the adjacent clamping holes to achieve the storage of the supporting rods 120. One end of the clamping component 216 is inserted into a clamping hole of one of the supporting rods 120, and the other end into a clamping hole on another supporting rods 120. The clamping component 216 is approximately C-shaped for easy insertion into adjacent clamping holes. The clamping component 216 can be inserted into or removed from the clamping holes without tools, manually completing the process. During the massage, when the user needs to switch from the first light-blocking state to the second, they can manually touch supporting rods 120, allowing the clamping component 216 on adjacent supporting rods 120 to insert into the clamping holes, meeting the shading needs during the massage process. During the massage process as the user moves from sitting to lying down, they can switch from the shading state to the storage state, or from the second shading state to the first, by allowing the clamping component 216 on adjacent supporting rods 120 to disengage, partially or fully folding the structure.

The above are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, and neither the words nor the drawings can limit the protection scope of the present disclosure. Any approximations, similarities, or technical deductions or replacements based on the conceptual premise of the present disclosure should be considered within the protective scope of the present disclosure.
