Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0040] Currently, ear massage and stimulation services are performed manually, such as those for ear cleaning. These services are subject to non-standard and inconsistent techniques, resulting in a mixed user experience. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new ear stimulation technology solution that can meet user needs, standardize and normalize the stimulation action, and ensure the quality of the stimulation experience.

[0041] In view of this, the present invention proposes an auricle action mechanism for an ear device, wherein the ear device includes a housing. Figure 1 and2 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of an embodiment of the auricle action mechanism of the present invention, wherein the auricle action member 63 is not shown; Figure 2 for Figure 1 Left side view of the auricle action mechanism, wherein the auricle action member 63 is shown. In one embodiment of the present invention, the auricle action mechanism includes:

[0042] A mounting base 61 for connecting to the housing 10;

[0043] A second driving member 62 is provided on the mounting base 61; and

[0044] The auricle acting member 63 is drivingly connected to the second driving member 62 and is used to act on the auricle of the user.

[0045] In the technical solution of the present utility model, the auricle action mechanism is first installed on the ear device using the mounting base 61. Then, the auricle action member 63 is positioned on or near the auricle. Then, the second driving member 62 is used to automatically stimulate the auricle and / or the vagus nerve on the auricle, allowing the user to easily and conveniently enjoy the effects of physical and mental relaxation and fatigue relief. Because the ear device is uniformly manufactured on an industrial production line, the device's stimulation method can be standardized and normalized. In other words, the quality of the stimulation action is uniformly controlled at the source, thereby ensuring the quality of the stimulation experience.

[0046] Specifically, the second driving member 62 and the auricle action member 63 can jointly achieve auricle stimulation in a variety of ways, including but not limited to stroking stimulation, microcurrent stimulation, light touch stimulation, blowing stimulation, vibration stimulation and heating stimulation.

[0047] Specifically, in the stroking stimulation mode, the auricle action member 63 includes a flexible portion, and the second driving member is used to drive the flexible portion to move and contact the auricle. It should be noted that the flexible portion refers to a material with soft properties, such as a silicone brush, fabric, or animal hair. For example, in this embodiment, the flexible portion is configured as a hair-like portion 631 (such as animal hair or feathers), and the second driving member 62 is configured as a motor. The motor drives the hair-like portion 631 to rotate and contact the epidermis of the auricle, thereby stimulating the auricle and / or the vagus nerve.

[0048] Specifically, in the microcurrent stimulation mode, the second driving member 62 is configured as a power source capable of generating a microcurrent (e.g., a low-level current in a medical application, ranging from 50 microamperes to 1000 microamperes) and a first controller. The auricle action member 63 is configured as a conductor (e.g., an electrode pad) electrically connected to the first controller. The conductor contacts the auricle and releases a microcurrent, thereby stimulating the auricle and / or the vagus nerve. Since the relevant technology of microcurrent instruments on the market is relatively mature, it will not be elaborated here.

[0049] Specifically, in the light touch stimulation mode, the second driving member 62 may include a motor, an eccentric cam drivingly connected to the motor, and a lever rotatably connected to the motor. The auricle-acting member 63 is configured to drive a light touch massage head connected to a linear motor. One end of the lever rolls against the outer periphery of the eccentric cam, and the other end is connected to the light touch massage head. In other words, utilizing the principle of leverage, the light touch massage head moves toward or away from a skin region on the auricle, and when in close proximity, it touches the skin region, thereby achieving a regular light touch stimulation mode of the auricle.

[0050] Specifically, in the air blowing stimulation mode, the second driving member 62 is configured as a motor and a wind wheel connected to the motor, and the auricle action member 63 is configured as an air guide body with an air guide cavity provided therein. The air guide body transports airflow, and the airflow blows toward the epidermis of the auricle, thereby stimulating the auricle and / or vagus nerve.

[0051] Specifically, in the vibration stimulation mode, the second driving member 62 can be configured as a vibration motor (rotor motor or linear motor), and the auricle action member 63 can be configured as a vibrating body connected to the vibration motor, and the vibrating body abuts and transmits vibration to the epidermis of the auricle, thereby stimulating the auricle and / or the vagus nerve. Of course, the second driving member 62 can also include a motor, a first controller electrically connected to the motor, and a pendulum driving the motor, and the auricle action member 63 can be configured as a tuning fork, the first controller is used to send a pulse signal to control the regular operation of the motor, and the motor is used to drive the pendulum to strike the tuning fork. After being struck by the hammer, the tuning fork vibrates (vibrates) and contacts the auricle, thereby stimulating the auricle and / or the vagus nerve.

[0052] Specifically, in the heating stimulation mode, the second driving member 62 is configured as an electric heater, and the auricle acting member 63 is configured as a heat conductor, which abuts and transfers a trace amount of heat energy (heat energy to avoid burns) to the epidermis of the auricle; or the second driving member 62 includes a power supply and a first controller electrically connected to the power supply, and the auricle acting member 63 is configured as an electric heater electrically connected to the power supply; or, the second driving member 62 is configured as a power supply, a motor electrically connected to the power supply, a wind wheel driven by the motor, and an electric heater provided at the air inlet or outlet of the wind wheel, the electric heater is electrically connected to the power supply and used to heat the airflow generated by the wind wheel, and the auricle acting member 63 is configured as an air guide body with an air guide cavity provided therein, the air guide body transports the airflow, and the airflow blows toward the epidermis of the auricle, thereby stimulating the auricle and / or the vagus nerve.

[0053] Of course, in addition to being performed independently, each of the above-mentioned stimulation methods can also be combined with each other. For example, stroking stimulation, blowing stimulation and heating stimulation can be combined, or stroking stimulation and microcurrent stimulation can be combined, or microcurrent stimulation, heating stimulation and vibration stimulation can be combined, etc.

[0054] It can be understood that the auricle action mechanism proposed in the technical solution of the present invention can not only be installed and used on ear devices (ear massage equipment), but also can be installed on other equipment or facilities, such as massage chairs, beds or furniture, so as to combine the basic functions of other equipment or facilities to provide users with better and richer usage functions.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment, the auricle action member 63 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 61, and the auricle action member includes a hair-like portion 631, and the hair-like portion 631 is used to flexibly contact the auricle. It should be noted that the rotation of the auricle action member 63 can be rotation around its own axis or around an axis outside the body. Specifically, the second driving member 62 can be one of an electric motor, a hydraulic motor, or a pneumatic motor. In this embodiment, the second driving member 62 is configured as a motor. In this way, the rotation of the auricle action member 63 drives the rotation of the hair-like portion 631, which can achieve a good stroking stimulation effect. Of course, in other embodiments, the auricle action member 63 can also be telescopically connected to the mounting base 61, or slidably connected to the mounting base 61.

[0056] Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned stimulation methods, the auricle action member 63 can also provide rolling massage stimulation. For example, in another embodiment, the auricle action member is configured as a roller that is rotatably mounted on the mounting base, and the roller is used to roll and massage the auricle. In this way, the rolling massage can also achieve a good massage stimulation effect on the auricle, thereby relaxing the user.

[0057] Specifically, in another embodiment, the mounting base is provided with a mounting cavity and a clearance hole communicating with the mounting cavity. The clearance hole extends along the circumference of the second drive member, and the second drive member and the transmission member are both housed in the mounting cavity. The second drive member includes a drive motor and a rotating disk connected to the drive motor. The auricle-acting member is configured as a ball rollingly connected to the rotating disk. The rotating disk has a limiting groove corresponding to the ball. One side of the ball passes through the clearance hole and protrudes from the mounting base, while the other side is located between the clearance hole and the limiting groove. The portion of the ball protruding from the mounting base is configured to roll in contact with the auricle. Furthermore, multiple balls are provided, and the multiple balls are arranged at intervals within the clearance hole. In this way, the rotating disk can simultaneously drive multiple balls to rotate, thereby achieving rolling pressure on the auricle, which can provide a good massage and stimulation effect on the auricle. Of course, in other embodiments, a linear motor can be mounted on the mounting base to drive an elastic rod connected to the linear motor. The linear motor drives the elastic rod to move, and the rolling element rotates at the end of the elastic rod that is connected to the end away from the linear motor. In this way, the linear motor drives the elastic rod to move, and the rolling element rolls on the auricle, achieving rolling massage of the auricle.

[0058] Specifically, the hair-like portion 631 can be configured as natural fiber, chemical fiber, or elastic material. That is, natural fiber, chemical fiber, elastic material, or other raw materials are used to prepare hair-like monomers, and multiple hair-like monomers can be combined into bundles or balls as needed to form a structure similar to a feather, a silicone soft brush, a brush, or a cotton swab. Of course, only one hair-like monomer, such as a horsetail hair, can be used directly as the hair-like portion 631. It should be noted that natural fibers include plant fibers and animal fibers. Plant fibers include cotton, hemp, and flax. Animal fibers include animal hair such as horsetail hair, pig hair, goat hair, or feathers. Chemical fibers include man-made fibers and synthetic fibers. Man-made fibers include artificial protein fibers, viscose fibers, acetate fibers, and cuprammonium fibers. Synthetic fibers include polyester, nylon, and acrylic. Elastic materials include silicone, rubber, and elastic PVC (polyvinyl chloride). As such, since natural fibers, chemical fibers, or elastic materials are readily available or readily prepared, and the related industrial production technology is mature, the manufacturing cost of the hair-like portion 631 can be effectively reduced. Furthermore, the hair-like portion 631 made from these natural or chemical fibers can be made into a hair-like shape and be individually slender and soft, thereby providing a good stroking stimulation effect. Of course, in other embodiments, the hair-like portion 631 can also be configured with other materials capable of being made into a soft, hairy shape, or materials capable of being made into a flexible or elastic body, such as foam sponge.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2In one embodiment, the auricle action mechanism 60 further includes a transmission member 64, which is drivingly connected to the second driving member 62 and rotates about the axis of the second driving member 62. The auricle action member 63 is disposed on the transmission member 64. That is, the transmission member 64 and the auricle action member 63 thereon revolve around the second driving member 62. This increases the area covered by the rotation of the auricle action member 63, thereby achieving a more comprehensive stroking stimulation effect on the auricle. Of course, in other embodiments, the auricle action member 63 may be directly connected to the second driving member 62.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment, the transmission member 64 includes a driving gear 641 and a first driven gear 642. The driving gear 641 is driven and connected to the second driving member 62. The mounting base 61 is provided with an inner ring gear 611. The first driven gear 642 is meshed and mounted between the inner ring gear 611 and the driving gear 641. The auricle action member 63 is mounted on the first driven gear 642. In this way, through the gear meshing transmission mode, the smoothness and stability of the transmission can be improved, thereby making the rotation of the auricle action member 63 smoother and more stable. Of course, in other embodiments, the transmission member 64 can also be a rotating arm that is driven and connected to the second driving member 62. The rotating arm extends radially along the second driving member 62, and the auricle action member 63 is arranged on the rotating arm.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment, the transmission member 64 further includes a second driven gear 643 and a planetary carrier 644. The second driven gear 643 is meshedly mounted between the first driven gear 642 and the driving gear 641. The hubs of the driving gear 641, the second driven gear 643, and the first driven gear 642 are all connected to the planetary carrier 644. Thus, utilizing the first driven gear 642 and the second driven gear 643 makes it easier to adjust the transmission ratio of the transmission member 64, thereby adjusting the rotational speed of the auricle actuator 63 to a more reasonable range.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2In one embodiment, the mounting base 61 is provided with a mounting cavity 61a and a clearance hole 61b communicating with the mounting cavity 61a. The clearance hole 61b extends along the circumference of the second driving member 62. The second driving member 62 and the transmission member 64 are both accommodated in the mounting cavity 61a. One end of the auricle action member 63 passes through the clearance hole 61b and is mounted on the first driven gear 642 or the planetary carrier 644. Thus, accommodating both the second driving member 62 and the transmission member 64 in the mounting cavity 61a not only provides good protection for them, but also maintains a neat appearance for the auricle action mechanism 60.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment, the auricle action member 63 is removably mounted on the first driven gear 642 or the planetary carrier 644. Specifically, the first driven gear 642 or the planetary carrier 644 is provided with an insertion hole 64a, and one end of the auricle action member 63 is inserted into the insertion hole 64a through the clearance hole 61b. Of course, in other embodiments, the auricle action member 63 can be removably mounted on the first driven gear 642 or the planetary carrier 644 using Velcro, or the auricle action member 63 can be fixed to the first driven gear 642 or the planetary carrier 644.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment, the mounting base 61 is further provided with a quick-release mounting portion for detachable connection to the housing 10. This quick-release mounting portion facilitates assembly and disassembly of the auricle action mechanism 60 from the housing 10. When the user no longer requires this function, the auricle action mechanism 60 can be conveniently removed and stored. Furthermore, if the auricle action mechanism 60 malfunctions, it can be easily repaired or replaced. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting base 61 can also be fixed to the housing 10.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment, the quick-release mounting portion is configured as a mounting slot 612, which is used to insert and snap into the housing 10. Thus, the auricle mechanism 60 can be installed by inserting and snapping the housing 10 into the mounting slot 612, and removed by removing the housing 10 from the mounting slot 612. This quick-release structure offers the advantage of ease of operation. Of course, in other embodiments, the quick-release mounting portion can also be configured as an externally threaded post, with the housing 10 having a corresponding internally threaded hole.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2In one embodiment, the mounting slot 612 is located on the inner side of the clearance hole 61b, and the groove wall surface of the mounting slot 612 is set as a cylindrical surface, and the central angle corresponding to the cylindrical surface is greater than one hundred and eighty degrees; the housing 10 is provided with a clamping cylinder 13 corresponding to the mounting slot 612. It should be noted that the inner side of the clearance hole 61b refers to the side of the clearance hole 61b close to the second driving member 62. Specifically, the clamping cylinder 13 can be inserted into the mounting slot 612 along the radial direction of the mounting slot 612 and through the notch, and be clamped on the groove wall of the mounting slot 612, thereby realizing the installation of the housing 10 and the mounting slot 612. Similarly, the clamping cylinder 13 can be pulled out of the mounting slot 612 along the opposite path to achieve disassembly. Secondly, because the engaging cylinder 13 and the mounting slot 612 are cylindrically abutted, the engaging cylinder 13 can still rotate about its axis while being mounted in the mounting slot 612, thereby making the inclination angle of the mounting slot 612 relative to the housing 10 adjustable. In other words, the auricle action member 63 can be adjusted to massage the upper or lower half of the auricle, or even the cheek. Thus, the cooperation between the mounting slot 612 and the engaging cylinder 13 facilitates adjustment of the auricle action member 63's stroking stimulation area according to individual needs, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of the auricle action mechanism 60.

[0067] The second driving member 62 may be provided with a plurality of driving power sources. For example, please refer to Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment, the auricle action mechanism 60 further includes a rechargeable battery 95 or a battery mounting compartment provided on the mounting base 61, and the second driving member 62 is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery 95 or the battery mounting compartment. It should be noted that the battery mounting compartment refers to a compartment for mounting dry cells or button cells. By configuring an independent power supply on the mounting base 61, compared to using a power cord for power supply, the problem of limited usage scenarios can be avoided and the convenience of use of the auricle action mechanism 60 can be improved.

[0068] Of course, the driving power of the second driving member 62 can also come from the power supply (rechargeable battery or battery installation compartment) on the housing 10. Specifically, in another embodiment, the auricle action mechanism 60 also includes an electrical connection contact exposed on the mounting base 61, and the electrical connection contact is electrically connected to the second driving member 62 and is used to electrically connect to an external power source. It should be noted that the external power source refers to a power source that is not provided on the mounting base 61. For example, based on one embodiment, the external power source refers to a rechargeable battery or battery installation compartment provided on the housing 10. In this way, electrical energy is directly obtained from the rechargeable battery or battery installation compartment on the housing 10 through the electrical connection contact, thereby simplifying the structure of the auricle action mechanism 60 and the ear device, which is conducive to reducing product manufacturing costs.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment, the auricle action mechanism 60 further includes a first controller 65 and a first control key 66 provided on the mounting base 61, the first controller 65 is electrically connected to the second drive member 62, and the first control key 66 is electrically connected to the first controller 65. Specifically, the first control key 66 can be a physical key or a touch key, or a function key integrated on a touch screen display. In this way, the first control key 66 can be used to control the start and stop or operating parameters of the second drive member 62, such as adjusting the speed of the second drive member 62, so that the user can choose whether to turn on the auricle massage function according to personal needs, and adjust the working condition of the auricle action member 63, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of use of the auricle action mechanism 60. Of course, please refer to Figure 4 In the embodiment where electrical connection contacts are provided on the mounting base 61, the second driving member 62 may be electrically connected (including a communication connection) to the second controller 96 on the housing 10 via the electrical connection contacts. In this way, the second control key 97 on the housing 10 is used to control the start and stop or operating parameters of the second driving member 62.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 3 and 4 The present invention also proposes an ear device, including a housing 10, a driving component 20 provided on the housing 10, an ear canal acting member 30 driven and connected to the driving component 20, and the aforementioned auricle acting mechanism 60. The specific structure of the auricle acting mechanism 60 refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the present ear device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described one by one here. Among them, the mounting base 61 of the auricle acting mechanism 60 is connected to the housing 10, and the ear canal acting member 30 is used to extend into the external auditory canal and act on the external auditory canal. The driving component 20 and the ear canal acting member 30 can jointly realize a variety of ways to stimulate the external auditory canal, including but not limited to stroking stimulation, microcurrent stimulation, light touch stimulation, blowing stimulation, vibration stimulation and heating stimulation. The specific structure and principle can refer to the relevant technical solutions of the above-mentioned auricle acting mechanism 60.

[0071] Specifically, the housing 10 includes a wearing portion 110, two opposite support arms 120, and two in-ear earplugs 12 respectively arranged on the two support arms 120. The wearing portion 110 is used to be worn on the user's head or neck, and the in-ear earplugs 12 are used to be inserted and rest against the exit of the external auditory canal. A clamping cylinder 13 is provided at one end of the support arm 120 close to the in-ear earplug 12, and the mounting base 61 is installed on the clamping cylinder 13; the driving assembly 20 includes a first driving member 21 and a transmission flexible shaft 22 driven and connected to the first driving member. The first driving member 21 is provided on the wearing portion 110, and the transmission flexible shaft 22 is sequentially passed through the wearing portion 110 and the support arm 120 until it reaches the in-ear earplug 12. The in-ear earplug 12 is provided with an avoidance hole (not shown in the accompanying drawings), and the ear canal action member 30 can pass through the avoidance hole and be connected to the transmission flexible shaft 22.
