Abstract
A percussive massage device with a force meter that includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, and a controller configured to obtain a voltage of the motor, generate a lookup table correlating voltage to force applied by the percussive massage device, and display a force magnitude corresponding to the obtained voltage using the lookup table.
Claims20
A percussive massage device comprising:
- a housing,
- an electrical source,
- a motor positioned in the housing,
- a switch for activating the motor,
- an actuated output configured to reciprocate when the motor is activated, and
- a controller configured to obtain a voltage of the motor, generate a lookup table correlating voltage to force applied by the percussive massage device, and display a force magnitude corresponding to the obtained voltage using the lookup table, wherein the lookup table is generated by determining a maximum magnitude of force configured to be applied by the percussive massage device, determining a maximum magnitude of voltage configured to be applied to the percussive massage device from a power source, dividing the maximum magnitude of force into equal force increments, and dividing the maximum magnitude of voltage into equal voltage increments.
