DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0015] Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. A massage device comprises: a transmission unit 10, a massaging member 20 and a base 30. The transmission unit 10 has a motor 11, at least one first link rod 12 and at least one second link rod 13. At least one driving shaft 111 is disposed on a side of the motor 11, and the first and second link rod 12, 13 both respectively have a first end 121, 131 and a second end 122, 132. The first end 121 of the first link rod 12 is pivoted with the driving shaft 111 of the motor 11, the second end 122 and the first end 131 of the second link rod 13 are pivoted together by a shaft rod 133, and the motor 11 drives the first and second link rod 12, 13 to rotate.

[0016] For the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. A driving shaft 111 is mounted at each side of the motor 11 of the transmission unit 10 and connected to the two first link rods 12 and the two second link rods 13. The massaging member 20 has a massaging end 21 and a swinging end 22, and the massaging end 21 drives the two massaging unit 24 with another motor 23, the swinging end 22 is connected to the motor 11 of the transmission unit 10. The two driving shafts 111 respectively pass through the swinging end 22 and are respectively connected to each first end 121 of the first link rod 12, and the swinging end 22 has a through aperture 221 at an eccentric position. The base 30 has two parallel assembling portions 31 and an assembly space 32 between the assembling portions 31. Each assembling portion 31 has a shaft hole 311 and a securing hole 312, and a position of the securing hole 312 can higher or lower than the shaft hole 311. The assembly space 32 is configured for accepting the swinging end 22 of the massaging member 20, the shaft holes 311 of the two assembling portions 31 and the through aperture 221 of the swinging end 22 are both pivoted with the central shaft 313, and the securing holes 312 of the two assembling portions 31 are respectively pivoted with a shaft bolt 314 and the second end 132 of the second link rod 13. Therefore, the massaging member 20 is mounted onto the base 30, and the transmission unit 10 drives the massaging member 20 to rotate on the base 30.

[0017] For actual operation, please refer to FIGS. 1, 3 and 4-7. The motor 11 of the transmission unit 10 drives the driving shaft 111 to rotate, and since the second end 132 of the second link rod 13 and the securing holes 312 of the assembling portions 31 are connected together, the first link rod 12 is driven by the driving shaft 111, the second link rod 13 acts as a swing arm and pushes the swinging end 22 of the massaging member 20 to rotate around the central shaft 313, and the massaging member 20 swings back and forth with the second link rod 13.

[0018] With the structure of the above specific embodiment, the following benefits can be obtained: the transmission unit 10 drives the first and second link rods 12, 13 through the motor 11, with the first and second link rods 12, 13 and the cooperation of the massaging member 20 and the base 30, the first link rod 12 acts as a swinging arm to make the second link rod 13 to have back and forth rocking movements. So that the motor 11 is able to continue to rotate forward to generate the reciprocating swing movements of the member 20 and there is no need to install limit switches to control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor, which not only reduce the structure assembly cost and improve the convenience of the structure assembly, but also avoid the motor 11 from damage.

[0019] Although the present invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of invention as hereinafter claimed.
